a) From 1 January 2016 Tryg Forsikring has implemented Executive order on financial reports presented by insurance companies and lateral pension funds issued by the Danish FSA, which prescribes applying a new yield curve and a new way of calculating Return on equity after tax (%). Comparative figures have been restated accordingly. Please refer to details of the new yield curve in note 30 Accounting policies.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 4
Financial targets and outlook
The return on equity for 2016 was 25.9%, and the combined ratio was 86.7. Tryg Forsikring is well-positioned for meeting the targets for 2017.
Tryg Forsikring expects growth in gross premium income of 0-2% in local currencies in 2017.
Tryg Forsikring will continue to take an active approach to acquiring smaller portfolios and developing the market for products which are expected to see higher growth rates such as pet and child insurance.
In 2017, weather claims net of reinsurance and large claims are expected to be DKK 500m and DKK 550m, respectively, which is unchanged relative to 2016.
The interest rate used to discount Tryg Forsikring's technical provisions is historically low. An interest rate increase will have a positive effect on Tryg Forsikring's results. Generally speaking, an interest rate increase of 1 percentage point will increase the pre-tax result by around DKK 300m and vice versa.
For the purpose of realising the financial targets, Tryg Forsikring has launched an efficiency programme aimed at realising savings of DKK 750m, with DKK 500m relating to the procurement of claims services and administration and DKK 250m relating to expenses. The target is DKK 375m in 2017 after targets for 2015 and 2016 of DKK 125m and DKK 250m. Some of the claims initiatives relate to previous claims years and will therefore impact the run-off.
At the end of 2016, a tax on salaries for financial companies was approved in Norway. The tax will have an impact of approximately NOK 40m for 2017, which will hit claims costs and expenses.
The investment portfolio is divided into a match portfolio corresponding to the technical provisions, and a free portfolio. The objective is for the return on the match portfolio and changes in the technical provisions due to interest rate changes to be close to zero.
From 2016, the curve used for discounting technical provisions changed due to the implementation of the Solvency II directive, and this might result in slightly more volatile match portfolio net results. The new curve increases the interest rate risk of the technical provisions, thereby introducing a larger difference between the match return and the changes in the technical provisions.
The return on bonds in the free portfolio will vary, but given current interest rate levels, a low return is expected. For shares, the expected return is around 7% with the MSCI World Index as the benchmark, while the expected return for property is around 6%. Investment activities also include other types of investment income and expenses, especially the cost of managing investments, the cost of currency hedges and interest paid on loans.
There has been a gradual lowering of tax rates in Denmark, Norway and Sweden in recent years. In Denmark, the tax rate was 22 in 2016, and this will also be the level for 2017. The Norwegian tax rate was 25 in 2016, while the Swedish rate was 22. When calculating the total tax payable, account should also be taken of the fact that gains and losses on shareholdings are not taxed in Norway. All in all, this causes the expected tax payable for an average year to be around 22-23% in 2017.

Tryg Forsikring's results
A result after tax of DKK 2,525m impacted by one-offs. Proposed H2 dividend of 2,700 m DKK equivalent to a full-year dividend of 3,800m DKK for 2016. Solvency ratio of 194 after H2 dividend.

- First year with TryghedsGruppen's members' bonus for Danish customers
- The majority of customers now have Tryg's most updated products
Results
At the beginning of 2016, Tryg Forsikring announced a new country-based organisation. This has created a more agile organisation, as reflected in the many business initiatives launched in 2016 in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
A profit after tax of DKK 2,525m (DKK 2,032m) was posted, together with a return on equity of 25.9% (19.5%) and a combined ratio of 86.7 (86.8). The results show that Tryg Forsikring is on the track to meet its financial targets for 2017 with a return on equity at or above 21% and a combined ratio at or below 87. The expense ratio was 14.8 (14.9) adjusted for one-offs, primarily related to write-downs on intangible assets in 2016 and one-off costs in 2015. Tryg Forsikring launched many new initiatives in 2016, which – in combination with further initiatives in 2017 – will support an expense ratio target at or below 14 in 2017. The technical result was DKK 2,390m (DKK 2,423m), positively affected by the ongoing efficiency programme, which contributed savings of DKK 210m in 2016 against a target of DKK 225m. The efficiency programme and price adjustments of around 3% had a positive impact on profitability as reflected in an improved trend through-out the year. The total effect of weather claims, large claims and run-off was much lower than in 2015.
In 2016, a slightly higher level of claims inflation was observed for the profitable motor insurance area. Tryg Forsikring believes that this is driven by an increase in accident numbers as well as the use of more expensive spare parts primarily in medium/highend models. For extended warranty insurance of electronic goods, a smaller product area, claims inflation was also observed. To improve the underlying claims level, and following on from the price adjustments made in 2016, Tryg Forsikring will be implementing further price adjustments corresponding to around 3% in 2017.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 6
The investment result was impacted by the sale of investment properties and domiciles, which had a positive impact on the investment result of DKK 500m. Adjusted for gains on investment properties and domiciles, an investment result of DKK 492m was posted, boosted strongly by positive capital market developments.

Tryg Forsikring has a strong focus on the customer targets for 2017. Our customer targets are generally strongly linked to our financial targets and have been perceived as very appealing by the organisation.
Customer targets
| 2016 | 2015 | Target 2017 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net Promoter Score (NPS) | 22 | 22 | 22 |
| Retention rate | 88.0 | 88.1 | 88.9 |
| Customers with ≥3 products (%) | 57.2 | 56.7 | 61.3 |
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) was unchanged at 22 at the end of 2016. There was a positive development for especially Private customers in Denmark and a slight drop for Private Norway. For Commercial, the NPS score dropped slightly, primarily in the Danish part of Commercial. Tryg Forsikring also measures customer satisfaction after customers have been in contact with Tryg Forsikring, defined as the Transactional Net Promotor Score or TNPS. The figure was 49 in 2016.
At 88.0, the retention rate in 2016 was slightly lower than in 2015 at 88.1. The retention level was more or less unchanged for Private in Denmark and Norway. The retention rate dropped somewhat for Commercial in Denmark due to selected price initiatives whereas for Commercial Norway, the retention rate improved due to improved customer focus.
The share of customers with three or more products increased from 56.7% to 57.2%. In Denmark, the number increased by 1 percentage point whereas there was a drop in Norway. To reverse the trend in Norway, a more focused approach for cross-selling to customers who have bought motor insurance through the car sales channel has been initiated.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 7
In 2016, Danish customers received their first members' bonus from TryghedsGruppen. The 8% bonus has been well received by customers, and Tryg Forsikring expects the bonus to provide an important competitive advantage by improving customer loyalty and customer targets. TryghedsGruppen has announced that they expect to make recurring bonus payouts, but that payouts will be decided each year by TryghedsGruppen.
Price differentiation has been a very important initiative for Tryg Forsikring in recent years. In 2016, focus was on updating customers to the improved products which have been developed over the past few years. More than 500,000 policies were updated in 2016, meaning that the majority of Private customers now have the most recent products.
In 2016, many new products were added to Tryg Forsikring's product portfolio. Tryg Forsikring bought a child insurance portfolio from Skandia in Sweden. The product is very profitable, and with a good sales potential. Having acquired the Skandia portfolio, in autumn 2016 Tryg Forsikring also launched a new child insurance product for the Danish market. For Commercial and Corporate customers, Tryg Forsikring launched a cyber insurance product in autumn of 2016. Going forward, Tryg Forsikring expects cyber insurance to become increasingly important for both small and large companies. Sweden Private continued its innovative product development and developed three new smart app products for car, motorcycle and health.
In Private in both Denmark and Norway, a structural initiative was implemented involving the integration of customer service and claims handling for the most simple products. This integration supports Tryg Forsikring's overall ambition of first-contact resolution as employees can handle claims and also advise customers about their insurance needs. The integration also supports up-selling and increasing the number of customers with three or more products.
In Commercial, a more specialised structure was implemented with the aim of providing customers with more professional customer services. The new structure segments customers into large accounts, the liberal professions, technique and agriculture.
In both Commercial and Corporate, Tryg Forsikring's cooperation with brokers is strong. For the fourth year running, Corporate Sweden was nominated as the best non-life insurance company. Corporate implemented a new concept, which means that customers can both be served by Tryg Forsikring's own sales organisation and by brokers as customers in some instances prefer this set-up.
In the course of 2016, many new digital solutions were developed (see page 8) which both make it more convenient for customers to buy and change products and also report claims. The digital solutions also support cross-selling by suggesting that customers buy additional covers based on their expected insurance needs.
Premiums
Premium income totalled DKK 17,707m (DKK 17,977m), representing premium growth income of 0.1% (-0.8%) when measured in local currencies. The development in premium income improved for Private
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 8
and Sweden, but was some- what lower for Commercial and Corporate. It is positive that after a challenging period Tryg Forsikring achieved a positive development in premium growth, despite the economic situation in Norway and falling average prices for motor insurance in Denmark.
In 2016, Private saw improved growth of 0.8% (0.3%), which was driven by the development in the Danish Private business, which posted premium growth of 1.8%. The members' bonus supported this development, and at the same time the successful conversion of customers to new products resulted in many customers buying add-on covers, thereby increasing premium levels. Premium growth for Private Norway was slightly negative by 0.5%, which was ascribable to the competitive situation and a weakened economic situation in Norway. The development was also due to a lack of distribution power, and several structural initiatives were initiated in 2016 to address this. The initiatives reduced backoffice costs, and some of the savings were invested in more distribution power through an upscale of the franchise distribution. Also, our co-operation with Nordea was strengthened through the establishment of outbound teams in Nordea branches.
Premium income in Commercial was down 1.3% (-2.9%) in local currencies, with a slightly bigger drop in Norway. In order to increase premium income, the back-office organisation in Norway was reduced, and some of the savings were invested in more distribution power. In Denmark, customer segmentation, a new agreement with Nordea and the delegation of more powers to the sales organisation were important initiatives aimed at increasing Tryg Forsikring's distribution power.
Corporate saw a drop in premium income of 1.2% (0.0%) in local currencies. In general, more substantial fluctuations in premium income for this area are expected on account of the competitive situation and the impact of gaining or losing major clients. Developments were generally more positive in Corporate in Denmark as customers welcomed TryghedsGruppen's members' bonus.
The Swedish business realised an increase in premium income of 3.4% (-3.1%) in local currencies. The acquisition of Skandia's child insurance portfolio had a positive impact of approximately 5% in 2016. The Swedish business compensated for the loss of distribution power following the loss of two large affinity agreements through an increase in sales via our own sales channels.
Claims
The gross claims ratio was 65.6 (75.4), with a claims ratio, net of ceded business, which covers both claims and business ceded as a percentage of gross premiums, of 71.0 (71.5). Adjusted for one-off effects, the claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 70.5 (71.2). The claims level was positively impacted by the efficiency programme in the amount of DKK 145m due to a combination of the improved procurement of claims services and claims administration. The negative impact from large claims and weather claims was more than offset by higher run-offs and had a positive 2.8 percentage point net impact on the claims ratio.
In 2016, a number of initiatives were implemented to mitigate the claims inflation seen especially for property claims. A team dedicated to controlling pipe claims had a positive impact on the development in claims, but at the same time, an increase was seen in salaries for construction workers in Denmark due, among other things, to public building projects.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 9
Motor insurance continues to be very profitable, but in 2016 an increased claims frequency was seen, while it is also apparent that average repair costs for cars will increase due to the use of more advanced electronic solutions in cars. As mentioned, the development in claims will be mitigated through price adjustments averaging 3% in 2017.
The claims-related measures implemented in 2016 included initiatives that bring injured policyholders back to work. This initiative is positive for the injured policyholder and for the employer getting the employee back to work, and also for Tryg Forsikring through a reduction of claims expenses. As these claims typically relate to claims for previous years, the savings support the run-off level. In 2016, the use of the In4mo system continued to generate savings in different areas, for example from cash settlements.
In 2016, large claims totalled 2.2% (3.4%) and weather claims 2.0% (3.4%). In Q4 2016, the storm Urd hit Denmark and Norway with an estimated impact of DKK 60m. Large and weather claims were approximately DKK 300m lower than average level of DKK 1,050m a year. The run-off level was 7.0% (6.7%), which underlines Tryg Forsikring's solid provision level.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 15.7 (15.3). Adjusted for one-off costs, the expense ratio was 14.8 (14.9). No steep drop in the expense ratio was expected in 2016 as the organisation has been very focused on implementing initiatives that have limited effect in 2016, but which support the target of an expense ratio at or below 14 in 2017. The initiatives have been most visible in the Norwegian part of the organisation. The initiatives introduced in both the first and second half of 2016 generally focused on reducing back-office functions with the aim of reducing expense levels and increasing distribution power. In Denmark, the initiatives centred mostly around the integration of our customer service and claims handling functions. In Q4, the Danish part of Commercial reduced the number of support functions in sales, while at the same time delegating more powers to the sales force. In the Danish part of Corporate, the number of sales departments were reduced from three to two, reducing the number of back-office employees.
The efficiency programme contributed DKK 65m in 2016, corresponding to an impact on the expense ratio of 0.4 percentage points. Initiatives launched comprised cost reductions and general optimisations following the implementation of the new country-based structure at the beginning of 2016, in addition to the effects from sourcing of staff functions and to a lesser extent business sourcing. In 2016, the number of employees was reduced from 3,344 to 3,249.
Investment return
The investment return was positive by DKK 992m (DKK -15m) in 2016. The match portfolio totalled DKK 29,105m and is made up of bonds which match the insurance provisions so that fluctuations resulting from interest rate changes are offset to the greatest possible extent. At 31 December 2016, the value of the free portfolio totalled DKK 11,995m. The return on the match portfolio was DKK 210m (DKK -16m) after transfer to insurance technical interest. The return on the free investment portfolio was DKK 939m (DKK 232m). The return on the equity portfolio was positive at 8.4%, which was significantly higher than in 2015, which saw a return of 3.4%. In Q4 2016, Tryg Forsikring sold some of its bigger
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 10
investment properties and domiciles in Denmark and Norway. This resulted in a gain of DKK 600m, of which DKK 500m is recognised as investment income and DKK 100m in shareholders' equity. The main purpose was to create a more diversified investment portfolio in accordance with Tryg Forsikring's overall risk profile, and also to enter into less risky and more flexible agreements for the domiciles.
Other income and costs
Other income and costs were primarily impacted by write-down of goodwill of DKK 100m related to the acquisition of Securator.
Profit/loss on discontinued business
DKK -1m (DKK 49m) was realised on discontinued business, comprising adjustments on provisions, primarily relating to the marine run-off business.
Tax
Tax on profit for the year totalled DKK 763m (DKK 409m), or 23% of the profit before tax. In 2016, Tryg Forsikring paid DKK 548m in income tax.
Capital position
Tryg Forsikring's solvency capital requirement (SCR) was DKK 5.1bn at the end of 2016, which is on par with the level as at 1 January 2016, when Solvency II went live. At the end of 2016, Tryg Forsikring's own funds were DKK 9.9bn (after deducting the H2 dividend). During the year, own funds were mostly impacted positively by net profits and negatively by dividends. Additionally, Tryg Forsikring issued SEK 1.0bn subordinated, Solvency II-compliant debt. This boosted Own funds in its Tier 2 component. The Solvency ratio was 194 at year-end 2016.
The key components of Tryg Forsikring's own funds are shareholders' equity, intangibles, Tier 2 instruments (subordinated debt and natural perils pool), ATier 1 instruments (old subordinated debt which has been grandfathered) and future profits. The vast majority of Tryg Forsikring's own funds are constituted by shareholders' equity. The Tier 2 capacity has been fully utilised after the SEK 1bn subordinated debt issue in May 2016. Currently, some DKK 200m of Tier 2 instruments are not included in the own funds as they exceed the 50% SCR cap. Tryg Forsikring has an additional ATier 1 capacity of DKK 1.0bn at the end of 2016.
Tryg Forsikring's solvency ratio displays low sensitivities to capital market movements. The highest sensitivity is towards spread risk, where a widening/tightening of 100 basis points would impact the solvency ratio by approximately 14 percentage points. Lower sensitivities are displayed towards equity market falls and interest rate movements. A change in the UFR (Ultimate Forward Curve) would have a very modest impact as the solvency ratio would fall 1 percentage point. This is unsurprising considering that Tryg Forsikring underwrites only non-life risks, and the duration of the business is below four years.
Dividend policy
For 2016, a dividend of DKK 2,700m (DKK 1,450m) is proposed.
Moody's rating upgraded
In December 2016, Moody's upgraded Tryg Forsikring's insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) from 'A2' to 'A1' with a stable outlook. In its press release, Moody's noted that the 'A1' IFSR reflects Tryg
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 11
Forsikring's leadership position in Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance in the Nordic region, its strong profitability both from a return on capital and underwriting (combined ratio) perspective, very good asset quality and relatively low financial leverage.

Results
The technical result for 2016 was DKK 1,404m (DKK 1,298m), with a combined ratio of 83.8 (85.4). The development was attributable to a combination of positive impacts from the efficiency programme, a lower level of weather claims and a higher level of claims especially from the property lines of business. The development in premiums was positive and improved compared to 2015, and the expense ratio was at a significantly lower level.
Premiums
The gross premium income development improved by 0.8% (0.3%) in local currencies, which was in line with the improvements seen since 2013. Premiums increased by 1.8% in Denmark, which was very
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 13
satisfactory given also that the average price of motor insurance continued to fall by 0.6 percentage points. In Norway, premium income declined by 0.5% in local currencies mainly due to the competitive market situation and the weakened Norwegian economy.
Customer focus is very strong in both Denmark and Norway, as evidenced by the continued improvement in Tryg Forsikring's Net Promoter Score (NPS) to 29 in 2016 (26). This development was significant in Denmark whereas there was a slight drop in Norway. In Denmark, the NPS score improved from 29 to 35, and in Norway there was a slight drop from 22 to 21.
The members' bonus from TryghedsGruppen is expected to have a positive impact on customer loyalty among Private customers in Denmark. In 2016, more than 500,000 insurance policies were converted to new and more updated products. As the products are more correctly priced, this also means that some customers will experience a higher price, and the conversion is therefore expected to have a slightly negative impact on retention rates.
The retention rate in Denmark dropped slightly to 89.7 from 89.9, while in Norway the retention rate was unchanged at 86.4. The number of customers with three or more products increased from 56.7% to 57.1% with a significant increase of 1 percentage point for Private customers in Denmark and a drop in the number of customers with three or more products in Norway. To improve the level of customers with three or more products in Norway, the car sales channel, where many customers have few products, was restructured with the aim, among other things, of increasing cross-selling to these customers.

The gross claims ratio totalled 67.8 (69.0), with a claims ratio, net of ceded business, of 69.6 (70.7). The improvement was ascribable to the efficiency programme and a lower level of weather claims. House insurance was still under pressure despite positive results from the claims team focusing on pipe claims. In fact, claims inflation increased due to higher construction costs because of wage increases for construction workers, and in Norway higher prices for materials due to the weakened Norwegian currency.
Tryg Forsikring has a strong focus on developments in motor insurance, and throughout the year we saw slightly higher claims inflation due to higher frequency levels and higher average claims for cars with more advanced electronic systems. Against this background, Tryg Forsikring has decided to introduce price adjustments of approximately 3% to mitigate this development and improve profitability.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 14.2 (14.7). This development resulted from a consistent focus on improving expense levels, and many initiatives were implemented in 2016. In both Denmark and Norway, customer service and claims handling functions were integrated to improve customer loyalty, while at the same time reducing expense levels. In Norway, many initiatives were implemented which will reduce employee numbers by a total of 60, the primary impact of which will be seen in 2017 after almost no impact in 2016. Employee numbers were reduced from 933 at the end of 2015 to 929 in 2016, mainly through job cuts in back-office functions but also transfer of employees from the Claims department as part of the integration of customer service and claims handling.

Results
The technical result for 2016 was DKK 695m (DKK 658m), with a combined ratio of 82.1 (83.6). The combined ratio was positively affected by a lower level of weather and large claims but also a lower level of run-off. The development in premiums improved in 2016, but was still not satisfactory.
Premiums
The development in gross premium income was negative by 1.3% (-2.9%) in local currencies, which was a significant improvement compared with 2015, but at the same time an unsatisfactory development. The drop in premiums was slightly higher in the Norwegian part of Commercial. The development in the Danish part was affected by price hikes to improve profitability for property, which among other things led to a drop in the market share for large agricultural customers. In Norway, the market was
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 15
generally very competitive and also impacted by the slowdown in the Norwegian economy. In both Norway and Denmark, structural initiatives were implemented to support an improved development in premiums.
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) decreased to 6 in 2016 (12). In Denmark, the NPS score decreased from 18 to 6, and in Norway an improvement from -1 to 9 was seen. The development in the NPS score also reflected retention rates. The retention rate for Commercial in Denmark fell from 87.9 to 87.1, and in Norway, the retention rate improved significantly from 87.1 to 87.5. The negative development for Commercial in Denmark can be ascribed to price initiatives aimed at improving profitability, whereas the improvement in Norway can be ascribed to a more focused organisation with improved customer contact.
Claims
The gross claims ratio totalled 61.1 (65.4), with a claims ratio, net of ceded business, of 65.1 (66.5). The lower claims level was ascribable to a combination of lower weather and large claims, but also a lower run-off result. The claims level for property improved through the selected price and pruning initiatives. Due to price increases, exposure to the segment of large agricultural customers was reduced, which had a positive impact on profitability. There is still a need for selected price adjustments in the Commercial area, especially for property. These price adjustments will be implemented in 2017.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 17.0 (17.1). The expense level is generally too high for Commercial, and initiatives were therefore implemented to improve this in 2016. The most significant steps were taken by Commercial in Norway, where employee numbers were reduced by approximately 40 employees. In Denmark, the number of employees was reduced by approximately ten through a reduction in back-office functions. Total employee numbers were reduced from 527 at the end of 2015 to 474 in 2016.

Results
The technical result for 2016 was DKK 421m (DKK 369m), with a combined ratio of 88.8 (90.7). The result was positively affected by a higher runoff level and a slightly lower level of weather claims, whereas large claims were at the same level as in 2015. The moderate development in premiums seen in recent years continued in 2016 with a drop of 1.2% (0.0%), measured in local currencies.
Premiums
The development in gross premium income saw a drop of 1.2% (0.0%) in local currencies. Premiums increased by around 2.4% in Denmark, whereas in Norway, premium income declined by 4.9% in local currencies due to the loss of some large customers, a competitive market situation, especially for the broker channel, and the weakened Norwegian economy. In Sweden, which accounts for only 20% of the
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 17
total Corporate business, premium growth was zero (6.2%) due to price increases and pruning of the portfolio. In Corporate, there is a strong focus on the relations with brokers as they constitute an important distribution channel. In Sweden, the Swedish brokers ranked Moderna's Corporate business as the best corporate company for the fourth year running. In both Denmark and Norway, there was a strong focus on improving broker relations. In Denmark, it was possible for customers to be served either by brokers or through direct distribution as customers in some cases find this is the best solution.
Claims
The gross claims ratio totalled 60.8 (102.4), with a claims ratio, net of ceded business, of 77.8 (79.9). The lower claims level was primarily due to a high level of run-off gains as large claims and weather claims declined slightly. In 2016, in Denmark and Norway, as part of the normal renewals process, Corporate increased prices, adjusted retention levels and changed coverage to improve profitability. In Sweden, more significant steps were taken to improve profitability, especially for some of the large accounts. In 2017, these initiatives will, in general, follow the normal process with individual customer initiatives in all markets although in the Swedish market, priority will be given to initiatives targeting motor insurance.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 11.0 (10.8) as a result of the reduced premium income. Although expense levels are quite low, Corporate also has a strong focus on reducing expenses as a way of improving the competitive position. In Denmark, the structure of the sales organisation was optimised, leading to a reduction in employee numbers by five employees. The number of employees was reduced from 265 at the end of 2015 to 257 in 2016.

Results
Sweden Private posted a result of DKK 120m (DKK 218m) for 2016, which represented a significant reduction compared to the prior-year result. This was mainly due to a harmonisation of reserving models in 2015, resulting in a positive impact of approximately DKK 70m. The result for 2016 was also impacted by persistent challenges with extended warranty insurance for electronic products and profit-sharing agreements. The profit-sharing relates to prior-year results. The combined ratio was 90.7 (83.5), and premium income increased by 3.4% (-3.1%) due to the acquisition of Skandia's child insurance portfolio. With the acquisition of Skandia's child insurance portfolio, Tryg Forsikring continues to improve its market position in Sweden through an active M&A approach.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 19
Premiums
Premium income rose by 3.4% (-3.1%) in local currencies. This was due to the acquisition of Skandia's child insurance portfolio, which is highly profitable and characterised by high retention levels. The acquisition also supports Tryg Forsikring's aim of growth in the Nordics as child insurance has considerable growth potential in both Denmark and Norway. Through 2016, focus was on mitigating the loss of a number of large affinity agreements and the impact on distribution. The Swedish organisation was able to offset this through higher sales in Q4 2016 compared with Q4 2015, partly through cross-selling to customers in the boat and motorcycle insurance niche segments.
Claims
The gross claims ratio totalled 71.5 (64.7) and was affected by higher claims levels, especially for extended warranty insurance products. Initiatives encompassing price hikes, claims prevention and adjustment of terms have been implemented. The claims level was also impacted by a profit-sharing agreement based on prior-year results, which impacted the claims ratio by 1.7 percentage points. The various initiatives will continue in 2017 with the aim of improving profitability, especially for extended warranty insurance of electronic products.
Expenses
The expense ratio was slightly higher at 19.0 (18.7). Integration and efficiency initiatives will support a lower expense ratio and strengthen Tryg Forsikring's competitive position. The number of employees was 337 (338) at the end of 2016, which was almost unchanged despite the acquisition of Skandia.

2016 was an eventful year characterised by volatility caused primarily by important political events such as the 'Brexit' referendum in the UK and the US presidential election. After some initial turmoil, equity markets recovered, and overall reactions can be said to be relatively moderate. The highest-ever spread between US and German rates was seen towards the end of December with US 10-year notes yielding more than 230bps compared to German notes. One noticeable area of turbulence was the exchange rate markets where the British pound and EM currencies weakened significantly.
Tryg Forsikring's investment activities produced an overall result of DKK 992m (DKK -15m), boosted by a capital gain in Q4 of DKK 500m, plus a DKK 100m increase of shareholders' equity on the sale of a property portfolio. The purpose of the investment strategy is to support a high and stable technical result and thus to reduce overall volatility to the greatest possible extent. Since 2010, this purpose has been supported by the strategic split of the investment portfolio into a match portfolio (assets matching the insurance reserves) and a free portfolio (the capital of the company). Tryg Forsikring reported a DKK 939m (DKK 232m) return on the free portfolio, a DKK 210m (DKK -16m) return on the match portfolio and other financial income and expenses of DKK -157m (DKK -231m).

The result of the match portfolio is the difference between the return on the portfolio and the amount transferred to the technical result. The 'net' result can be split into a 'regulatory deviation' and a 'performance' component. The most important driver of the 'regulatory deviation' is the yield difference between Euro swap rates and Danish swap rates. In Norway and Sweden, Tryg Forsikring hedges using local swaps corresponding to the EIOPA curve; hence, only the Danish exposure is relevant. Since the beginning of 2016, Tryg Forsikring has started to hedge the interest rate risk of its Danish liabilities,
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 21
partly using Danish swaps and partly also Euro swaps. When the yield difference between Danish and Euro swap rates decreases, the regulatory deviation should produce a positive result; however, when the yield difference increases, the result is likely to be negative. In 2016, the spread narrowed by 5 basis points, driving a regulatory deviation of DKK 47m.
The most important driver of 'performance' is the difference in yields between Danish, Norwegian and Swedish covered bonds and equivalent swap rates. If spreads narrow (versus swap rates), the overall performance is positive; otherwise the overall performance is negative. Tryg Forsikring seeks to maintain stability in its covered-bonds portfolio, also in terms of maturity; hence, spread movement should be a good indicator of overall performance. In 2016, the 'performance' result was an unusually high DKK 163m. Spreads narrowed substantially, driven by the so-called 'quantitative easing' enabled by the bond-buying programme of the ECB.

In 2016, financial markets were influenced by several significant events such as the UK referendum on continued membership of the European Union and the US presidential election. The market digested the unexpected outcomes fairly quick, and the year ended on a positive note. The result of the free portfolio was very strong in 2016, helped also by the capital gain in Q4 on the sale of a property portfolio of DKK 500m. The result, excluding the extraordinary capital gain, was driven primarily by interest rate and credit exposure (DKK 196m) and equities (DKK 194m).
Interest rates decreased to historically low levels in 2016. The yield of the 10-year German government bond touched -0.19% at the end of June before moving up to 0.25% in December. High-yield bonds (approximately 6% of the free portfolio and less than 2% of total investments) produced a return in excess of 10.6%, while emerging-markets bonds (USD-denominated sovereign bonds) produced a return just below 9.5%. Equity markets had a volatile year, but produced overall solid returns, and Tryg Forsikring's equity portfolio was up 8.4%, resulting in an overall DKK 194m return. The sale of three investment properties in central Copenhagen boosted the investment result by DKK 420m, a highly concentrated property portfolio has been swapped for a globally diversified portfolio which is more carefully aligned with Tryg Forsikring's overarching investment strategy. The overall property exposure remains unchanged after the aforementioned transaction.

Other financial income and expenses
The other financial income and expenses component is primarily made up of interest expenses related to outstanding subordinated debt, the cost of the currency hedge to protect our shareholders' equity and the cost of running our investment operations. These are the main elements included in other financial income and expenses.
The other financial income and expenses line produced a result of DKK -162m. Tryg Forsikring issued additional subordinated debt of SEK 1bn in 2016, but the overall interest expenses on the subordinated debt remained largely unchanged thanks to the falling interest rates. Expenses from the hedging of the foreign currency exposure on Tryg Forsikring's equity totalled DKK -157m, and interest expenses on Tryg Forsikring's subordinated loans were DKK -88 m.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 23
Capital and risk management
Risk management is based on Tryg Forsikring's targets and strategies and the risk exposure limits decided by the Supervisory Board. The assessment and management of Tryg Forsikring's aggregated risk and the associated capital requirements therefore constitute a central element in the management of the company. Tryg Forsikring's Supervisory Board defines the framework for the company's target risk appetite and thereby the capital which must be available to cover any losses. Risk management is primarily focused on insurance risk, investment risk and operational risk.
Insurance risk
The insurance risk is managed by limiting the size of single large commitments and through the use of reinsurance, thus reducing the maximum cost of large claims. Furthermore, the insurance risk is managed through geographical limitations and by refraining from offering certain types of insurance such as aviation and marine hull insurance. Operating within these boundaries, Tryg Forsikring's risk depends on the company's choice of exposure within different segments and industries in the insurance market. Tryg Forsikring operates in a relatively stable line of business. Quarterly fluctuations are driven mainly by large claims and weather events, and reinsurance is used extensively to smooth the impact on earnings.
Investment risk
The investment risk is managed by looking at total exposure and capital consumption by asset classes (bonds, shares, properties etc.). A very important element in managing Tryg Forsikring's investment risk is the company's matching strategy, according to which invested assets corresponding to the technical provisions must be invested in interest-bearing assets, where the interest rate sensitivity of these assets matches and thereby hedges the interest rate sensitivity of the discounted provisions as closely as possible. The so-called match portfolio represents approximately 70% of total group investments, while the free portfolio (the capital of the company) represents the remaining 30%.
Operational risk
The operational risk covers several different areas of Tryg Forsikring's operations. The most important ones are physical security, fraud, whitewash, crisis management, competencies and processes, and IT security. The Operational Risk Policy is approved by the Supervisory Board while the Operational Risk Committee (ORC) reports directly to the Risk Committee. The ORC is responsible for all operational risks and is under an obligation to report high risks to the Risk Committee. Fraud is a priority focus area in Tryg Forsikring, when it comes to both regular insurance fraud and internal fraud. A dedicated unit in the Claims department covers the insurance fraud angle, and a special Corporate Security unit covers the internal fraud angle. Intensive controls are carried out based on fraud scenarios, and dedicated persons in Corporate Security investigate the outcome. IT security is a major operational risk area. Tryg Forsikring's IT security policy is based on the ISO 27000 framework, and Tryg Forsikring has a dedicated second level Corporate Security unit performing security assessments of projects, controlling outsourcing partners and performing regular IT risk analyses. We also have a strong focus on user awareness as social engineering is the criminals' preferred way of penetrating company IT systems. Furthermore, Tryg Forsikring has a whistleblower line, which allows employees, customers and business partners to report any serious wrongdoings or suspected irregularities.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 24
Solvency II
The Solvency II regime emphasises the need for sound risk management and introduces additional requirements concerning risk governance, consistency across the Group and top management reporting and involvement. Tryg Forsikring has been working towards implementing the principles of Solvency II for years and has, amongst other things, carried out risk identification routines, written ORSA (Own Risk and Solvency Assessment) reports, acted in a setup comprising three lines of defence and appointed a special Risk Committee under the Supervisory Board which focuses on capital and risk management. Tryg Forsikring's partial internal Solvency II model was approved by the Danish FSA in November 2015. Read more about Tryg Forsikring's risk management in Note 1 on page 53.
Capital management
Capital management is based on Tryg Forsikring's partial internal capital model, which was approved by the supervisory authorities in November 2015. Tryg Forsikring has modelled the insurance risk internally, while using the standard formula for all other risks. The capital model is based on the risk profile, and therefore takes into consideration the composition of Tryg Forsikring's insurance portfolio, geographical diversification, its claims reserves profile, reinsurance programme, investment mix and Tryg Forsikring's profitability in general.
The Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) is calculated in such a way that Tryg Forsikring would statistically be able to honour its obligations in 199 out of 200 years. In other words, Tryg Forsikring could have a loss greater than DKK 5.1bn (the SCR) in 1 out of 200 years. Tryg Forsikring's SCR was DKK 5.1bn at the end of 2016, which is the same level as on 1 January 2016, when Solvency II went live. At the end of 2016, Tryg Forsikring's Own funds were DKK 9.9bn. Own funds during the year have mostly been impacted positively by net profits. Additionally, Tryg Forsikring issued SEK 1.0bn subordinated, Solvency II-compliant debt. This boosted the Own funds in its Tier 2 component. The Solvency ratio was 194 at year-end 2016.
The key components of Tryg Forsikring's Own funds are shareholders' equity, intangibles, Tier 2 instruments (subordinated debt and natural perils pool), ATier 1 instruments (old subordinated debt which has been grandfathered) and future profits. The vast majority of Tryg Forsikring's Own funds are represented by shareholders' equity. The Tier 2 capacity has been fully utilised after the SEK 1bn subordinated debt issue in May 2016. Currently, some DKK 200m of Tier 2 instruments are not included in the Own funds as they exceed the 50% SCR cap. Tryg Forsikring had additional ATier 1 capacity of DKK 1.0bn at the end of 2016. Tryg Forsikring's solvency ratio displays low sensitivities to capital market movements. The highest sensitivity is towards spread risk, where a widening/ tightening of 100 basis points would impact the solvency ratio by approximately 12 percentage points. Lower sensitivities are displayed towards equity market falls and interest rate movements. A change in the UFR (Ultimate Forward Curve) would have a very modest impact as the solvency ratio would fall 1 percentage point. This is unsurprising considering that Tryg Forsikring underwrites only non-life risks with low duration.
Ordinary dividend
At the annual general meeting to be held on the 8 March 2017, Tryg Forsikring's Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of DKK 2,700m. In 2016, Tryg Forsikring paid out semi-annual dividend of DKK 1,100m. Thus, the aggregated annual dividend pay-out for 2016 will be DKK 3,800m.

Moody's rating
In 2016, Tryg Forsikring decided to terminate the rating agreement with Standard and Poor's and acquire a rating from Moody's. At the end of April Tryg Forsikring was assigned an 'A2' financial strength rating with a positive outlook. The rating was upgraded in December 2016 to an 'A1' financial strength rating with a stable outlook. In its press release, Moody's noted that the A1 IFSR reflects Tryg Forsikring's leadership position in Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance in the Nordic region, its strong profitability both from a return on capital and underwriting (combined ratio) perspective, very good asset quality and relatively low financial leverage.

The Supervisory Board ensures that Tryg Forsikring's capital structure is aligned with the needs of the Group that it complies with the requirements applicable to Tryg Forsikring as a financial undertaking. Tryg Forsikring has adopted a capital plan and a contingency capital plan, which are reviewed annually by the Supervisory Board. Depending on the development in results, each year the Supervisory Board proposes the distribution of dividend.
Duties, responsibilities and composition of the Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board is responsible for the central strategic management and financial control of Tryg Forsikring and for ensuring that the business is organised in a sound way. This is achieved by monitoring targets and frameworks on the basis of regular and systematic reviews of the strategy and risks. The Executive Board reports to the Supervisory Board on strategies and action plans, market developments and Group performance, funding issues, capital resources and special risks. The Supervisory Board holds one annual strategy seminar to decide on and/or adjust the Group's strategy with a view to sustaining value creation in the company. The Executive Board works with the Supervisory Board to ensure that the Group's strategy is developed and monitored. The Supervisory Board ensures that the necessary skills and financial resources are available for Tryg Forsikring to achieve its strategic targets. The Supervisory Board specifies its activities in a set of rules of procedure and an annual cycle for its work.
Eight members of the Supervisory Board are elected by the annual general meeting for a term of one year. Of the eight members elected at the annual general meeting, four are independent persons as stated in recommendation 3.2.1 in Recommendations on Corporate Governance, while the other four members are dependent persons as they are appointed by the majority shareholder in Tryg, Tryg Forsikring's parent company, TryghedsGruppen. See pages 33-34 for information on when the individual members joined the Supervisory Board, were re-elected and when their current election period ends. To ensure the integration of new talent on the Supervisory Board, members elected by the annual general meeting may hold office for a maximum of nine years. Furthermore, members of the Supervisory Board must retire at the first annual general meeting following their 70th birthday.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 27
The Supervisory Board has 12 members, seven men and five women (including two male and two female employee representatives). Women are thus not underrepresented on Tryg Forsikring's Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board has members from Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
See details about the independent board members in the section Supervisory Board on pages 33-34 and at tryg.com > Governance > Management > Supervisory Board.
The Supervisory Board performs an annual evaluation of its work and skills to ensure that it possesses the expertise required to perform its duties in the best possible way. The Supervisory Board focuses primarily on the following qualifications and skills: management experience, financial insight, organisation, IT, product development, communication, market insight, international experience, knowledge of insurance, reinsurance, capital requirements, general accounting insight and accounting principles (GAAP), including regulations and principles designed for the insurance industry and M&A experience.
See CV's and descriptions of the skills in the section Supervisory Board on pages 33-34 and at tryg.com > Governance > Management > Supervisory Board.
Duties and composition of the Executive Board
Each year, the Supervisory Board reviews and adopts the rules of procedure of the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board with relevant policies, guidelines and instructions describing reporting requirements and requirements for communication with the Executive Board. Financial legislation also requires the Executive Board to disclose all relevant information to the Supervisory Board and report on compliance with limits defined by the Supervisory Board and in legislation.
The Supervisory Board considers the composition, development, risk and succession plans of the Executive Board in connection with the annual evaluation of the Executive Board, and regularly in connection with board meetings. Each year, the Supervisory Board discusses Tryg Forsikring's activities to guarantee diversity at management levels. Tryg Forsikring attaches importance to diversity at all management levels. Tryg Forsikring has prepared an action plan, which sets out specific targets to ensure diversity and equal opportunities and access to management positions for qualified men and women.
In 2016, the proportion of women at management level was 36.4% against 35.4% in 2015. The target for 2016 of 38% or more women at management level was therefore not met. Tryg Forsikring maintains the target to increase the total proportion of women at management level to 38% or more in 2017.
See the action plan at tryg.com > CSR > Thematic areas > People.
Board committees
Tryg Forsikring has an Audit Committee, a Risk Committee, a Nomination Committee and a Remuneration Committee. In 2016, Tryg Forsikring set up a temporary IT Committee to allow the Board to work more closely with Tryg Forsikring's IT strategy. The framework of the committees' work is defined in their terms of reference.
The board committees' terms of reference can be found at tryg.com > Governance > Management > Supervisory Board > Board committees, including descriptions of members, meeting frequency, responsibilities and activities during the year. See the tasks of the board committees in 2016 at tryg.com > Governance > Management > Supervisory Board > Board committees.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 28
Three out of four members of the Audit Committee and three out of five members of the Risk Committee, including the chairman of the committees, are independent persons. Of the four members of the Remuneration Committee, one member is an independent person, while one out of two members of the Nomination Committee is independent. Board committee members are elected primarily based on special skills that are considered important by the Supervisory Board. Involvement of the employee representatives in the committees is also considered important. The committees exclusively prepare matters for decision by the entire Supervisory Board.
The special skills of all members are also described at tryg.com.
Remuneration of Management
Tryg Forsikring has adopted a remuneration policy for the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board, including general guidelines for incentive pay. The remuneration policy for 2016 was adopted by the Supervisory Board in January 2016 and approved by the annual general meeting on 16 March 2016. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board reports on Tryg Forsikring's remuneration policy each year in connection with the review of the annual report at the annual general meeting. The Board's proposal for the remuneration of the Supervisory Board for the current financial year is also submitted for approval by the shareholders at the annual general meeting.
See the remuneration policy at tryg.com > Governance > Remuneration.
Remuneration of Supervisory Board
Members of Tryg Forsikring's Supervisory Board receive a fixed fee and are not comprised by any form of incentive or severance programme or pension scheme. Their remuneration is based on trends in peer companies, taking into account the required skills, efforts and the scope of the Supervisory Board's work, including the number of meetings held. The remuneration received by the Chairman of the Board is three times that received by ordinary members, while the Deputy Chairman's remuneration is twice that received by ordinary members of the Supervisory Board.

Remuneration of Executive Board
Members of the Executive Board are employed on a contractual basis, and all terms of their remuneration are established by the Supervisory Board within the framework of the approved remuneration policy. Tryg Forsikring wants to strike an appropriate balance between management remuneration, predictable risk and value creation for the shareholders in the short and long term.
The Executive Board's remuneration consists of a base salary, a pension contribution of 25% of the base salary and other benefits. The base salary must be competitive and appropriate for the market and provide sufficient motivation for all members of the Executive Board to do their best to achieve the company's defined targets. The Supervisory Board can decide that the base salary should be supplemented with a variable pay element of up to 25% of the fixed base salary including pension.
The variable pay element consists of a Matching Shares Programme. The Executive Board may, using taxed funds, buy shares (so-called investment shares) in parent company Tryg A/S at market price for a predefined amount. Four years after the purchase, Tryg A/S will grant one matching share per investment share free of charge. Matching is conditional upon fulfilment of additional conditions such as continued employment and back testing (a testing prior to matching, to ensure that the criteria forming the basis of the calculation of the variable salary are still met at the time of matching). The purpose of the Matching Shares Programme is to ensure alignment of interests between the Executive Board and the company's shareholders.
Each year the Supervisory Board evaluates the performance of the Executive Board against the targets set by the Supervisory Board for the fiscal year. The overall fulfilment of the weighted targets determines the number of investment shares offered to each member of the Executive Board. The targets for 2016 were a combination of long-term strategic targets and developmental targets, 60% weighted on the year's fulfilment of Tryg Forsikring's CMD 2017 targets, which were specified as combined ratio, expense ratio, premium growth, Net Promotor Score (NPS) and employee satisfaction, and 40% weighted on development targets, including targets such as moving closer to the customers (higher degree of customers who are fully insured in Tryg Forsikring), creating a strong customer centre, empowering the different lines of business, achieving high levels of innovation and development of products/services and the impact and success of Tryg Forsikring's leaders.

Financial reporting, risk management and auditing
Being an insurance business, Tryg Forsikring is subject to the risk management requirements of the Danish Financial Business Act and Solvency II. In its policies, the Supervisory Board defines Tryg Forsikring's risk management framework as regards insurance risk, investment risk and operational risk, as well as IT security, and issues guidelines to the Executive Board. Risks associated with new financial reporting rules and accounting policies are monitored and considered by the Audit Committee, the finance management and the internal auditors. Material legal and tax-related issues and the financial reporting of such issues are assessed on an ongoing basis.
Other risks associated with the financial reporting are described in the section Capital and risk management on pages 24-26 and in Note 1 Risk management on page 53.
Tryg Forsikring engages in ongoing risk identification, mapping insurance risks and other risks which may endanger the realisation of Tryg Forsikring's strategy or which may potentially have a substantial impact on Tryg Forsikring's financial position. The process involves identifying and continually monitoring the risks identified. As in previous years, Tryg Forsikring undertook an Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) in 2016. The purpose of the ORSA is to ensure and demonstrate a link between strategy, risk management, risk appetite, solvency and capital planning over the planning period.
The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board approve and monitor the Group's overall policies and guidelines, procedures and controls in important risk areas. They receive reports about developments in these areas and about the ways in which the frameworks are applied. The Supervisory Board checks that the company's risk management and internal controls are effective. The Board receives reports on non-compliance with the frameworks and guidelines established by the Supervisory Board. The Risk Committee monitors the risk management on an ongoing basis and reports quarterly to the Supervisory Board.
The Group's internal control systems are based on clear organisational structures and guidelines, general IT controls and segregation of functions, which are supervised by the internal auditors.
As part of the internal control system, Tryg Forsikring has established independent risk management, compliance and actuarial functions. The functions report to the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board's Risk Committee. Tryg Forsikring has a decentralised set-up whereby risk managers in the business areas carry out controlling tasks for the risk management and compliance functions.
Risk management is an integral part of Tryg Forsikring's business operations. The Group seeks at all times to minimise the risk of unnecessary losses in order to optimise returns on the company's capital. Read more about Tryg Forsikring's risk management in the section Capital and risk management on pages 24-26 and in Note 1 on page 53.
Whistleblower line
Tryg Forsikring has a whistleblower line, which allows employees, customers and business partners to report any serious wrongdoings or suspected irregularities. Reporting takes place in confidence to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Head of Compliance.

Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 31
Independent and internal audit
The Supervisory Board ensures monitoring by competent and independent auditors. The Group's internal auditor attends all Board meetings. The independent auditor attends the annual Board meeting at which the annual report is presented.
The annual general meeting annually appoints an independent auditor recommended by the Supervisory Board. The internal and independent auditors attend the Audit and Risk Committee meetings, and at least once a year the auditors meet with the Audit Committee without the presence of the Executive Board. The Chairman of the Audit Committee deals with any matters that need to be reported to the Supervisory Board.
Tryg Forsikring's internal audit department regularly reviews the quality of the Group's internal control systems and business procedures. It is responsible for planning, performing and reporting on the audit work to the Supervisory Board.
Deviations and explanations
Tryg Forsikring complies with the Recommendations on Corporate Governance with the exception of the recommendation concerning the number of independent members of the board committees, with which Tryg Forsikring complies partially; see recommendation 3.4.2 of the Recommendations on Corporate Governance.
The deviation is explained in Tryg Forsikring's statutory corporate governance report, which is available at tryg.com > Investor > Download.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Statutory corporate social responsibility report
Tryg Forsikring’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives focus on peace of mind, people, business ethics as well as the environment and climate. These areas are closely linked to our business model (see page 6), since CSR concerns issues relating to our focus on insurance, prevention and claims handling. By addressing some of the areas most closely linked to our business model, CSR is actively ensuring that Tryg Forsikring is working in a responsible way with both internal and external processes, while always focusing on creating products and solutions that generate value for Tryg Forsikring, our customers and society.
Find our CSR policy at tryg.com > CSR > CSR strategy > CSR policy Read more about CSR at tryg.com > CSR
Peace of mind
Tryg Forsikring’s overall vision is to create peace of mind for our customers and for society as a whole. In order to improve the way we work and achieve satisfied customers, it is important always to focus on our dialogue with customers. A major point of contact is our claims handling process, where we have processes in place to ensure the equal treatment of all customers. If customers are not satisfied with our services, we also have processes in place to ensure that they can fill in a complaint. Even though claims handling is key to our business, we still believe it creates peace of mind if we can prevent claims from arising in the first place, which is why we focus on claims prevention. We focus on safety, health and climate, and in 2016 we increased our focus on preventing break-ins and fires, while also seeking to improve safety at the seaside, for cyclist and among young people in public spaces.
Find Tryg Forsikring’s complaint process at tryg.dk > Om Tryg > Kontakt os > Klagemuligheder
It is important for us to engage in prevention, since the potential negative effects of no prevention represents a risk for our customers and society. It is also a risk for Tryg Forsikring since no prevention can result in an increased number of claims. However, opportunities exist in this area – as the proactive prevention of risks creates opportunities for educating and involving the community in Tryg Forsikring’s work.

Lifebuoys
The red and white lifebuoy has become a symbol of safety along the Norwegian coastline since 1952 and has prevented more than 1,000 drownings. This year, the lifebuoys saved three lives. Tryg Forsikring has donated more than 40,000 lifebuoys over the years and over 2,000 lifebuoys in 2016.

Night Ravens
The Night Ravens are volunteers who walk the streets at night to prevent violence and crime in Norway. A total of approximately 370 local groups are involved in this preventive work. Tryg Forsikring acts partly as a secretary for the Night Ravens, while also paying for clothing and other necessary materials and supporting operations and events.

DNA marking
Break-ins are a concern for the Danish population and pose a great problem for Tryg Forsikring, our customers and society as a whole, which is why we want to help prevent break-ins from happening. Synthetic DNA marking and labelling is one simple preventive mechanism that has proved rather effective in preventing break-ins and theft. In 2017, we will continue to focus on the area and try to establish large-scale DNA-marking projects.
To test the effect of synthetic DNA marking, we started a pilot project in Sonderborg, Denmark, in 2014. Our results from 2016 show an almost 40% decline in the number of break-ins for the 90 properties using DNA marking throughout the test period compared to an average decline of 24% in the entire city of Sonderborg. These statistics indicate that DNA marking can – to some extent – help prevent break-ins in residential areas.
Our focus on DNA marking is also evident in Norway. In 2016, we joined forces with the Norwegian police in handing out DNA kits to private house owners in Bergen. In collaboration with the police, we have also increased our focus on burglaries in the construction industry, which is seeing an increase in the number of burglaries and thefts of expensive tools from construction sites and from work vans. In an attempt to prevent this problem, Tryg Forsikring, the police and the construction industry recommend synthetic DNA marking and labelling of special tools and machines. As a first major project, construction sites along the E39 between Bergen and Os in Hordaland have started using DNA marking. To encourage more large customers to use DNA marking, Tryg Forsikring has handed out DNA kits to customers all across Norway.
Bicycle safety
We focus on safety for cyclists and road safety in general. In 2016, we further highlighted the importance of wearing a helmet and being visible to others when riding a bike, for example by using reflectors. To increase awareness of the importance of using reflectors, we launched Facebook campaigns in both Norway and Denmark in 2016. In Denmark, we also created an online universe offering advice and information on bicycle safety. Our ambition is to further develop our focus on bicycle safety with more activities in 2017.

Educating society
In order to engage society in prevention, we believe it is necessary to offer education for different groups in society. In 2016, we invited 60 students from the local community in Ballerup to participate in an innovation workshop focusing on fire prevention. The workshop was well-received, and most of the students felt that their newly acquired knowledge would be useful for them in their everyday lives. Fire prevention is also the focus of the new free 'VR HouseFire' app which Tryg Forsikring launched in 2016. It is a virtual reality app, and the first of its kind in Norway. The ambition is to make people more aware of how to prevent fires from starting, and how to handle fires if they occur. The app has been downloaded close to 1,900 times in 2016 and is also used by the Norwegian fire department to teach people how to handle and prevent fires.

As clearly set out in our business model, we believe our employees are one of our most important resources and assets, and that they should be treated as such. In Tryg Forsikring, we focus on the well-being of our employees and their right to a healthy and safe workplace. We welcome diversity and ensure non-discrimination through equal treatment of all our employees regardless of gender, age, disabilities, ethnic origin, sexual orientation and religion. We see our different perspectives as an asset that increases the quality of our services through ensuring a better understanding of our customers' needs.

Employee satisfaction
In Tryg Forsikring, we believe that satisfied employees are key to improving our business and services. We are actively working to minimise the risks of dissatisfaction, discrimination and stress among our employees. By addressing these issues, we think it is possible to improve the well-being and development of our employees, which is positive for retention rates as well as Tryg Forsikring's business as a whole. We support our employees by offering flexible working hours and the possibility of working from home. At the same time, we offer education and training in order to upgrade our employees' qualifications and improve their career prospects. To monitor developments in employee satisfaction, we conduct an internal employee satisfaction survey each year. Despite the organisational changes which took place in 2016, employee satisfaction increased from index 73 in 2015 to index 74 in 2016, 6 index points higher than the Nordic financial market benchmark.
Equal opportunities
In Tryg Forsikring, processes are in place to ensure that men and women enjoy equal treatment in terms of pay levels and career opportunities. Our initiatives include, for example, an action plan aimed at ensuring the recruitment and promotion of more women in management roles. Both internal recruiters and external agencies are instructed to work actively to present qualified candidates of both genders.
In 2016, we had an ambitious target of 38% women at management level. Through organisation changes and our focus on equal representation in recruitment, we achieved 36.4% women at management levels, 5.4% higher than the 2015 Danish financial market benchmark. In 2017, we will maintain our focus on this issue, and to qualify and motivate more women to apply for management jobs, we have signed an agreement with the Danish Diversity Council. This means that we will be entering into a partnership with a number of Danish companies with the aim of sharing knowledge on how to develop the next generation of female leaders. At the same time, we are motivating women in Tryg Forsikring to apply for next-level management jobs by sending five women to the Danish Diversity Council women's leadership programme in 2017. With this programme, our ambition is to develop role models and motivate female leaders to reach for the next level of management.
Our target for 2017 is to attain 38% women at management levels. In addition, we already have an equal gender distribution on our Supervisory Board with three of the eight members appointed by the annual general meeting being women.
In addition to focusing on equal opportunities for our employees, we also want to engage with the local community in order to share our knowledge and help more people to get a chance to enter the Danish
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 38
labour market. In 2016, Tryg Forsikring worked with the Municipality of Ballerup to help prepare refugees for entering the Danish labour market. In early 2016, Tryg Forsikring welcomed three refugees to a six-month part-time internship focusing on language training and job culture. The internship was a combination of language school and job training. By the end of 2016, three more refugees were a part of a preparatory 13-week internship. After a successful start, we are looking forward to continuing our efforts in 2017 by welcoming more refugees to participate in the internship.

Business ethics
In Tryg Forsikring, we work in a responsible way by respecting both human and labour rights, while also focusing on anti-corruption. At the same time, we acknowledge our responsibility for the climate and the environment. Therefore, it is important that our employees and external partners adhere to our standards at all times. Tryg Forsikring has formulated a CSR Code of Conduct based on the UN Global Compact, which we expect suppliers to comply with. We also have a Code of Ethics, which all employees must know and adhere to. To avoid corruption, Tryg Forsikring has laid down an anticorruption policy stating that all employees and everyone acting on behalf of Tryg Forsikring must comply with existing anti-corruption legislation.

Employees and business ethics
It is important that our employees follow our Code of Ethics at all times. This includes, for example, policies on good practices for marketing, handling of personal data, anti-discrimination, diversity and anti-corruption, including gifts. In order to mitigate the risks associated with our working processes, Tryg Forsikring is actively working to educate our employees in using the guidelines in the Code of Ethics to ensure that they can handle the risks associated with their position.
Find our Code of Ethics here at tryg.com > CSR > CSR strategy > CSR policy
To educate our employees on how to handle information online, in 2016 we launched a campaign focusing on IT security covering everything from hacking and social media to general data protection and phishing. As part of the campaign, we introduced a phishing button which employees can use to report phishing. To test awareness, all users were a part of a major phishing exercise. This showed that employees were more aware than was the case in 2015 since more than 200 reported phishing. In 2017, we are planning to maintain our focus on raising awareness in this area.
To encourage employees and external partners to report any activities that do not comply with our Code
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 39
of Ethics or applicable legislation, Tryg Forsikring has set up a whistleblower line that can be used in confidentiality. In 2016, the whistleblower line was used four times. All incidents are evaluated by the Legal & Compliance Department before any further action is taken.

Offshoring and supply chain
We expect our employees and our suppliers to work in a responsible way. It is therefore important to make it clear to our suppliers that they must respect our guidelines and Code of Conduct as part of their obligations towards Tryg Forsikring. In 2016, we introduced a new monitoring system, asking six offshoring partners to hand in a report focusing on their CSR obligations towards Tryg Forsikring. These reports will provide a starting point for our monitoring efforts, which involve continuous dialogue with our partners and regular visits to follow up on their commitments.
Investments
Tryg Forsikring's is a non-life insurance company, and our main activities are naturally related to all aspects of insurance such as claims handling and prevention. This also means that investments only account for a small part of our business, which is one of the reasons why we have decided to have external portfolio managers handle our investments. 80% of Tryg Forsikring's investments are Nordic AAA covered or government bonds. This means only minor investments in lower-grade risk assets, which are well-diversified and listed global government or corporate bonds or equities. We are internally very observant when it comes to our investments, due to the underlying risk of Tryg Forsikring violating international standards such as the UN Global Compact or ESG when investing. To the best of our knowledge we believe that there are no major challenges nor violations when it comes to our investments.
Taxes
Tryg Forsikring contributes to the society of which we are part, and we pay our taxes according to national legislation. To ensure compliance with legislation at all times, internal processes are in place to ensure we pay all relevant taxes. Aiming to be as transparent as possible, we have published our tax policy.
Find our tax policy at tryg.com > CSR > CSR strategy > CSR Policy
Climate and environment
Tryg Forsikring is highly affected by more extreme weather conditions since they can increase the number and frequency of climate-related claims. This represents a risk to Tryg Forsikring since it will increase our claims costs. The risk becomes even greater if we do not have the necessary focus on claims prevention. Therefore, Tryg Forsikring continuously focuses on finding solutions which can prevent damage from happening in the first place. Our aim is to use our knowledge to offer solutions and advice on prevention for society and customers so that everybody is better prepared for more extreme weather events.

Hordaklim
The Hordaklim project is one initiative in which we contribute with new perspectives on climaterelated
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 40
issues. The project is a research partnership which involves Tryg Forsikring helping and advising a number of local authorities in Hordaland, Norway, on how to identify areas that are most affected by climate change. Our property claims statistics are valuable in this process and can help the authorities prevent damage to existing buildings while at the same time planning for a safer future. The aim of the project is to produce new data that can be useful for the rest of Western Norway.
Reducing Tryg Forsikring's carbon footprint
Since Tryg Forsikring is highly affected by more extreme weather events, it is important for us to take part in the global community's endeavours to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Our target is to reduce our emissions by 1% a year. Even though we want to minimise our negative impact on the climate, the overall effect of our efforts is likely to be limited since Tryg Forsikring's carbon emissions are mainly associated with heating and electricity use at our offices and with car, train, and air travel. Tryg Forsikring is therefore not an energy-intensive company. Nevertheless, we are still endeavouring to minimise the environmental impact of our daily operations by trying to minimise food waste in canteens and by renting new energy-efficient office premises, for example. Reducing our energy consumption also means cost reductions, which is further motivating us to attain our target each year. In 2016, Tryg Forsikring's total estimated carbon emissions were 4267.5 tonnes compared to an actual emission of 4481.5 tonnes in 2015. Our estimated reduction was therefore 4.78%. Thus, we achieved our goal of a 1% reduction, which is mainly associated with a decrease in travel activities. In 2017, our target is a 1% reduction compared to 2016.

Statement by the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board
The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board have today considered and adopted the annual report for 2016 of Tryg Forsikring A/S and the Tryg Forsikring Group.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and the financial statements of the parent company have been prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act.
In our opinion, the accounting policies applied are appropriate, and the annual report gives a true and fair view of the Group's and the parent company's assets, liabilities and financial position at 31 December 2016 and of the results of the Group's and the parent company's operations and the cash flows of the Group for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2016.
Furthermore, in our opinion the Management's review gives a true and fair view of developments in the activities and financial position of the Group and the parent company, the results for the year and of the Group's and the parent company's financial position in general and describes significant risk and uncertainty factors that may affect the Group and the parent company.
We recommend that the annual report be adopted by the shareholders at the annual general meeting.

Independent auditor's reports
To the shareholders of Tryg Forsikring A/S
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of Tryg Forsikring A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2016, pages 47-115, which comprise the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies, for the Group as well as the Parent and the cash flow statement of the Group. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Business Act, and the parent financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position at 31 December 2016 and of the results of its operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2016 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Business Act.
Further, in our opinion, the parent financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent's financial position at 31 December 2016, and of the results of its operations for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2016 in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA's) and additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements section of this auditor's report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board of Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements under the Danish Financial Business Act, and for the preparation of parent financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Business, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 43
In preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent's ability to continue as a going concern, for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and for using the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exits. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements and these parent financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Parent's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 44
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Parent to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, including the disclosures in the notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with Those Charged with Governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide Those Charged with Governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
Statement on the management commentary
Management is responsible for the management commentary.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements does not cover the management commentary, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, our responsibility is to read the management commentary and, in doing so, consider whether the management commentary is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the management commentary provides the information required under the Danish Financial Business Act.
Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the management commentary is in accordance with the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Business Act. We did not identify any material misstatement of the management commentary.
Solvency ratio
Management is responsible for the key figure "Solvency ratio" evident from the statement of financial highlights and key figures on page 47 of the annual report.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 45
As disclosed in the statement of financial highlights and key figures, the "Solvency ratio" is exempt from the requirement to be audited. Consequently, our opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements does not cover the "Solvency ratio", and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, our responsibility is to consider whether the "Solvency ratio" is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on this, we conclude that the "Solvency ratio" is materially misstated, we are required to report on this. We have nothing to report in this respect.

The gross expense ratio without adjustment is calculated as the ratio of actual gross insurance operating costs to gross premium income. Other key ratios are calculated in accordance with "Recommendations & Financial Ratios 2015" issued by the Danish Society of Financial Analysts. The adjustment, which is made pursuant to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority's and the Danish Society of Financial Analysts' definitions of expense ratio and combined ratio, involves the addition of a calculated expense (rent) in respect of owner-occupied property based on a calculated market rent and the deduction of actual depreciation and operating costs on owner-occupied property. The sale of owner-occupied property in December 2016 does not affect the calculation.
*Profit/loss on discontinued and divested business after tax includes mainly Marine Hull insurance and the Finnish branch of Tryg Forsikring, which was sold in 2012.
** Solvency I ratios in 2012-2015 are the ratio between base capital and weighted assets and are audited. Solvency II ratio in 2016 is the ratio between own funds and the solvency capital requirement and is exempt from the requirement for auditing and thus not audited.

Notes
1 Risk- and capital management
Risk management
The Supervisory Board defines the company's risk appetite through its business model and strategy, and this is operationalised through the company's policies. The company's risk management forms the basis for the risk profile being in line with the specified risk appetite at all times.
Tryg Forsikring's risk profile is continuously measured, quantified and reported to the management and the Supervisory Board. Given the extensive requirements for the Supervisory Board's involvement in capital and risk management, Tryg Forsikring's Supervisory Board has decided to set up a special Supervisory Board Risk Committee to address these topics separately during the year. The Committee meets minimum four times a year for a detailed review of various risk management topics and regularly keeps the entire Supervisory Board up-to-date on the status.
Tryg Forsikring's risk management is organised into three levels of control. The first level of control is handled in the business where the company's policies are implemented, and day-to-day compliance is verified. The risk management function is the second level of control, supported by decentralised risk managers affiliated with the individual business areas. The risk management function ensures a consistent approach across the organization, risk assessment at group level and reporting to the management and the Supervisory Board. This involves an ongoing identification and assessment of the most significant risks in the company. Furthermore, the function prepares specific recommendations in relation to capital management, reinsurance, investment risk management and more. Tryg Forsikring's risk management function is also responsible for determining the company's capital requirement. The third level consists of the internal audit which performs independent assessments of the entire control environment.


Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 53
Notes
Capital management
Tryg Forsikring's capital management is based on the key business objectives:
- A solid capital base, supporting both the statutory requirements and a single 'A' rating from Moody's.
- Support of a steadily increasing nominal dividend per share, with a payout ratio in the interval 60-90%.
- Return on the average equity of at least 21% after tax.
The capital base is continuously measured against the capital requirement calculated on the basis of Tryg Forsikring's partial internal model, where insurance risks are modelled using an internal model, while other risks are described using the Solvency II standard model.
The model calculates Tryg Forsikring's capital requirement with 99.5% solvency level with a 1-year horizon, which means that Tryg Forsikring will be able to fulfil its obligations in 199 out of 200 years. The partial internal model has been used for a number of years, and was approved by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority in 2015.
The introduction of Solvency II had a major influence on Tryg Forsikring's solvency ratio in various areas. The Solvency capital requirement decreased by approximately DKK 1,200m due to the inclusion of the loss absorbency capacity of deferred tax. The capital base increased by approximately DKK 500m due to the inclusion of expected future profits (DKK 700m) and the transition to a new Solvency II discounting curve (DKK -200m). The net impact from these new elements increased the solvency ratio of the Group.
Tryg Forsikring has three subordinated loans that amount to DKK 2,567m. The first is a NOK 1,400m loan that was issued in November 2015 and the second is a SEK 1,000m loan which was issued in May 2016. Both classified as a Tier 2 element under Solvency II. The third is a NOK 800m loan that was issued in March 2013 and is according to the grandfathering rules treated as a Tier 1 element under Solvency II.
Company's own risk assessment 'ORSA' (Own Risk and Solvency Assessment)
ORSA is the company's own risk assessment based on the Solvency II principles, which implies that Tryg Forsikring must assess all material risks that the company is or may be exposed to. The ORSA report also contains an assessment of whether the calculation of solvency capital requirement is reasonable and is reflecting Tryg Forsikring's actual risk profile. Moreover, the projected capital requirement is also assessed over the company's strategic planning period. Tryg Forsikring's risk activities are implemented via continuous risk management processes, where the main results are reported to the Supervisory Board and the risk committee during the year, while the ORSA report is an annual summary document assessing all these processes.
Insurance risk
Insurance risk comprises two main types of risks: underwriting risk and provisioning risk.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 54
Notes
Underwriting risk
Underwriting risk is the risk that insurance premiums will not be sufficient to cover the compensations and other costs associated with the insurance business. Underwriting risk is managed primarily through the company's insurance policy defined by the Supervisory Board, and administered through business procedures, underwriting guidelines etc. Underwriting risk is assessed in Tryg Forsikring's capital model, determining the capital impact from insurance products.
Reinsurance is used to reduce the underwriting risk in situations where this can not be achieved to a sufficient degree via ordinary diversification. In case of major events involving damage to buildings and contents, Tryg Forsikring's reinsurance programme provides protection for up to DKK 5.75bn, which statistically is sufficient to cover at least a 250-year event. Retention for such events is DKK 150m. In the event of a frequency of natural disasters, Tryg Forsikring is covered for up to DKK 600m for, after total annual retention of DKK 300m. Tryg Forsikring has also taken out reinsurance for the risk of large claims occurring in sectors with very large sums insured. Tryg Forsikring's largest individual building and contents risks are covered by up to DKK 2bn. Retention for large claims is DKK 100m, gradually dropping to DKK 25m. Single risks exceeding DKK 2bn are covered individually. Tryg Forsikring has combined the minimum cover of other sectors into a joint cover with retention of DKK 100m for the first claim and DKK 25m for subsequent claims. For the individual sectors, individual cover has subsequently been taken out as needed. The use of reinsurance creates a natural counterparty risk. This risk is handled by applying a wide range of reinsurers with at least an 'A' rating and DKK 750m in capital.
Reserving risk
Reserving risk relates to the risk of Tryg Forsikring's insurance provisions being inadequate. The Supervisory Board lays down the overall framework for the handling of reserving risk in the insurance policy, while the overall risk is measured in the capital model. The uncertainty associated with the calculation of claims reserves affects Tryg Forsikring's results through the run-off on reserves. Long-tailed reserves in particular are subject to interest rate and inflation risk. Interest rate risk is hedged by means of Tryg Forsikring's match portfolio which corresponds to the discounted claims reserves. In order to manage the inflation risk of Danish workers' compensation claims reserves, Tryg Forsikring has bought zero coupon inflation swaps. Tryg Forsikring determines the claims reserves via statistical methods as well as individual assessments. At the end of 2016, Tryg Forsikring's claims reserves totalled DKK 25,452m with an average duration of approximately 4 years.
Investment risk
The overall framework for managing investment risk is defined by the Supervisory Board in Tryg Forsikring's investment policy. In overall terms, Tryg Forsikring's investment portfolio is divided into a match portfolio and a free portfolio. The match portfolio corresponds to the value of the discounted claims reserves and is designed to hedge the interest rate sensitivity of these as closely as possible. Tryg Forsikring carries out daily monitoring, follow-up and risk management of the Group's interest rate risk. The swap and bond portfolio is thus adjusted continuously to minimise the net interest rate risk. The free portfolio is subject to the framework defined by the Supervisory Board through the investment policy. The purpose of the free portfolio is to achieve the highest possible return relative to risk. Tryg
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 55
Notes
Forsikring's equity portfolio constitutes the company's largest investment risk. At the end of 2016, the equity portfolio accounted for 5.4% of the total investment assets. Tryg Forsikring's property portfolio comprises investment properties, the value of which is adjusted based on the conditions on the property market through internal valuations backed by external valuations. At the end of 2016, investment properties accounted for 6.3%. Tryg Forsikring does not wish to speculate in foreign currency, but since Tryg Forsikring invests and operates its insurance business in other currencies than Danish kroner, Tryg Forsikring is exposed to currency risk. Tryg Forsikring is primarily exposed to fluctuations in the other Scandinavian currencies due to its ongoing insurance activities.
Premiums earned and claims paid in other currencies create a natural currency hedge, for which reason other risk mitigation measures are not required in this area. However, the part of equity held in other currencies than Danish kroner will be exposed to currency risk. This risk is hedged on an ongoing basis using currency swaps. In addition to the above-mentioned risks, Tryg Forsikring is exposed to credit, counterparty and concentration risk. These risks primarily relate to exposures in high-yield bonds, emerging market debt exposures as well as Tryg Forsikring's investments in AAA-rated Nordic and European government and mortgage bonds. These risks are also managed through the investment policy and the framework for reinsurance defined in the insurance policy. For a non-life insurance company like Tryg Forsikring, liquidity risk is practically non-existent, as premium payments fall due before claims payments. The only significant assets on Tryg Forsikring's balance sheet, which by nature is somewhat illiquid, are the property portfolio.
Operational risk
Operational risk relates to errors or failures in internal procedures, fraud, breakdown of infrastructure, IT security and similar factors. As operational risks are mainly internal, Tryg Forsikring focuses on an adequate control environment for its operations. In practice, this work is organised by means of procedures, controls and guidelines covering the various aspects of the Group's operations. The Supervisory Board defines the overall framework for managing operational risk in Tryg Forsikring's Operational risk policy. These risks are controlled via the Operational Risk Committee. A special crisis management structure is set up to deal with the eventuality that Tryg Forsikring is hit by major crises. This comprises a Crisis Management Team at Group level, national contingency teams at country level and finally business contingency in the individual areas. Tryg Forsikring has prepared contingency plans to address the most important areas. In addition, comprehensive IT contingency plans have been established, primarily focusing on the business-critical systems.
Other risks
Strategic risk
The strategic risk is the risk of loss as a result of Tryg Forsikring's chosen strategic position. The strategic position covers both business transactions, IT strategy, choice of business partners and changed market conditions. Tryg Forsikring's strategic position is determined by Tryg Forsikring's Supervisory Board in close collaboration with the Executive Board. Before determining the strategic position, the strategic decisions are subject to a risk assessment, explaining the risk of the chosen strategy to Tryg Forsikring's Supervisory Board and Executive Board.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 56
Notes
Compliance risk
Compliance risk is the risk of loss as a result of lack of compliance with rules, regulations, market standards or internal guidelines. The handling of compliance risk is coordinated centrally via the Group's Compliance & Legal department, which, among other things, sits on industry committees in connection with legislative monitoring, ensures implementation of regulation in Tryg Forsikring through business procedures, provides ongoing training in compliance matters and performs compliance controls within the organisation. Compliance risks and the result of the performed compliance controls are reported to the Supervisory Board's Risk Committee.
Emerging risk
Emerging risk cover new risks or known risks, with changing characteristics. The management of this type of risk will be handled in the individual business areas, which monitor the market and adapt the products as the conditions change. In the event of a change in insurance terms, it is ensured that Tryg Forsikring's reinsurance cover is consistent with the new conditions.

The loans are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a loan is entered and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
The loans are taken by Tryg Forsikring A/S. The creditors have no option to
call the loans before maturity or otherwise terminate the loan agreements. The loans are
automatically accelerated upon the liquidation or bankruptcy of Tryg Forsikring A/S.
Prices used for determination of fair value in respect of both loans are based on actual traded prices from Bloomberg.

Impairment test
Goodwill
In 2016, Tryg Forsikring acquired Skandia's child and adult accident insurance portfolio. The insurance activities were incorporated into the Tryg Forsikring Group's business structure from 1 september 2016.
In 2014, Tryg Forsikring acquired Securator A/S, Optimal Djurförsäkring i Norr AB and Codan's agricultural portfolio. The insurance activities were incorporated into the Tryg Forsikring Group's business structure and merged into Tryg in 2015.
At 31 December 2016, management performed an impairment test of the carrying amount of goodwill based on the allocation of the cost of goodwill to the cash-generating unit, which consists of Moderna, Securator and the Skandia portfolio, respectively.
The Value-in-use method is used.
Primary assumptions for impairment test:
When assessing the cash flow management has based its estimates of premiums earned on the insurance portfolio adjusted to reflect the expected effect of business decisions and market development from past experiences. The portfolio is indexed with the wage and salary index.
Claims incurred are based on expected claims ratios, which corresponds to current levels. Moderna is adjusted for weather and large-scale claims as well. Reinsurance is taken into account when looking at the overall technical result together with the expected cost ratio.
Required returns are based on management's own requirements for returns of the individual cash generation units and are not expected to change significantly in the near future.
Moderna
Comprises the sale of insurance products to private customers under the 'Moderna' brand. Moreover, insurance is sold under the brands Atlantica, Bilsport & MC and Moderna Djurförsäkringar. Sales take place through its own sales force, call centres and online.
The cash flows appearing from the latest prognosis approved by management for the next 6 quarters are used when calculating the value in use of Moderna. The cash flows in the latest budget period have been extrapolated for financial years after the budget periods (terminal period) and adjusted for expected growth rates determined on the basis of expectations for the general economic growth. The required return is based on an assessment of the risk profile of the tested business activities compared with the market's expectations for the Group.
The impairment test shows a calculated value in use of approximately DKK 1.2bn (1.3bn) relative to a recognised goodwill of DKK 354m (368m) and Equity of DKK 0.7bn (0.6bn) and does not indicate any impairment in 2016.

Securator
In 2014, Tryg Forsikring acquired Securator A/S. The insurance activities were incorporated into the Tryg Forsikring Group's business structure in 2014 and are reported under Sweden. In 2015, Securator was merged into Tryg Forsikring A/S and is reported as part of the Swedish affinity portfolio.
Securator is a Danish market leader within the sale and brokering of multi-annual product insurance via dealers in the electronics and telecommunications sector and supermarket chains.
The cash flows appearing from the latest prognosis approved by management for the next 6 quarters are used when calculating the value in use of Securator. The cash flows in the latest budget period have been extrapolated for financial years after the budget periods (terminal period) and adjusted for expected growth rates determined on the basis of expectations for the general economic growth. The required return is based on an assessment of the risk profile of the tested business activities compared with the market's expectations for the Group.
The impairment test shows a calculated value in use of approximately DKK 84m (184m) relative to a recognised goodwill of DKK 84m (184m) and equity of DKK 138m (174m), which has led to an impairment in 2016 of DKK 100m, which is recognised in Other costs. The impairment is due to a lower sale of electronics, than expected and the loss of two major partners, which has led to a decline in the assumptions used.
| 2016 | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| - Earned premium assumed CAGR 0 - 10 years | 10% | 13% |
| - Earned premium assumed CAGR > 10 years | 3% | 3% |
| - Required return before tax | 12% | 11% |
| - Expected level of Combined ratio | 89 - 91% | 83 - 91% |
Sensitivity information
Impact on equity from the following changes:
CAGR +1.0 percentage point (0 - 10 years) 6 6
CAGR -1.0 percentage point (0 - 10 years) -6 -5
Required return +1.0 percentage point -15 -35
Required return -1.0 percentage point 20 48
Combined ratio +1.0 percentage point -11 -16
Combined ratio -1.0 percentage point 10 17
An increase in the required return or combined ratio will result in a write-down of the goodwill associated with Securator. We do not expect an increase in these assumptions.
Skandia child and adult accident insurance
The impairment test for Skandia portfolio, performed at year end, is based on the valuation at the time of acquisition due to the short ownership period and the lack of indications of impairment since the acquisition. Goodwill recognised DKK 77m. Please refer to note 27.
The assets and liabilities have not changed significantly since the latest calculation and the recoverable amount calculated would exceed the carrying amount with the same margin or very close to that margin.
Trademarks and customer relations
As at 31 December 2016 management performed a test of the carrying amounts of trademarks and customer relations as an integral part of the Moderna and Skandia portfolio goodwill test.
The impairment test of the acquired agricultural portfolio is based on renewal and retention rates, which are on the expected level.
The test did not indicate any impairment.
Software and assets under construction
As at 31 December 2016 management performed a test of the carrying amounts of software and assets under construction.
The impairment test compares the carrying amount with the estimated present value of future cash flows. The test did indicate an impairment of DKK 200m due to revaluation of the groups it-systems. The impairment relates predominantly to it systems for payment, digitalisation and IT integration. The write-down is due to related system development costs will be higher, while for some of the systems benefits are also expected to be lower. The cost is recognised as write-downs under depreciations in the income statement.
Assets under construction are not depreciated but tested once a year for impairment or when there is any indication of a decrease in value.
Software with a limited useful lifetime is amortised over 4 years using the straight-line method. Amortised software is assessed for impairment at the balance sheet date or when there are indications that the future cash flow cannot justify the carrying amount.
In the event that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, the difference is recognised in the income statement.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less sales costs and value in use.

| The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in one of the assumptions, assuming that all other assumptions remain constant. In reality, this is rarely the case, and changes to some assumptions may be subject to covariance. The sensitivity analysis has been carried out using the same method as the actuarial calculation of the pension provisions in the statement of financial position. | |||

| Description of the Norwegian plan | |||
| In the Norwegian part of the Group, about half of the employees have a defined-benefit pension plan. The plans are based on the employees' expected final pay, providing the members of the plan with a guaranteed level of pension benefits throughout their lives. The pension benefits are determined by the employees' term of employment and salary at the time of retiring. Employees having made contributions for a full period of contribution are guaranteed a pension corresponding to 66% of their final pay. As of 2014, pensions being disbursed are no longer regulated in step with the basic amount of old-age pension paid in Norway (G regulation), but are subject to a minimum regulation. The plan are closed for new business. | |||
| Under the present defined-benefit plan, members earn a free policy entitlement comprising disability cover, spouse and cohabitant cover and children's pension. | |||
| The pension funds are managed by Nordea Liv & Pension and regulated by local legislation and practice. | |||
| Description of the Swedish plan | |||
| Moderna Försäkringar, a branch of Tryg Forsikring A/S, complies with the Swedish industry pension agreement, the FTP plan, which is insured with Försäkringsbranschens Pensionskassa - FPK. | |||
| Under the terms of the agreement, the Group's Swedish branch has undertaken, along with the other businesses in the collaboration, to pay the pensions of the individual employees in accordance with the applicable rules. | |||
| The FTP plan is primarily a defined-benefit plan in terms of the future pension benefits. FPK is unable to provide sufficient information for the Group to use defined-benefit accounting. For this reason, the Group has accounted for the plan as if it were a defined-contribution plan in accordance with IAS 19.30. | |||
| This years premium paid to FPK amounted to DKK 19m, which is about 3,9% of the annual premium in FPK (2015). | |||
| FPK writes in its interim report for 2016 that it had a collective consolidation ratio of 128 at 30 June 2016 (consolidation ratio of 114 at 30 June 2015). | |||
| The collective consolidation ratio is defined as the fair value of the plan assets relative to the total collective pension obligations. | |||

27 Acquisition of activities
2016
In august 2015 Tryg Forsikring and Skandia signed an agreement whereby Tryg acquired Skandia's activities within child and adult accident insurance and integrated them into its Swedish business, Moderna Forsikringar. The transaction was approved by the Danish FSA and implemented 1 September 2016. The acquisition affects the Financial statement from 1 September 2016:
| Net assets acquired | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Intangible assets | 58 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1,471 |
| Total provisions for insurance contracts | -1,389 |
| Net assets acquired | 140 |
| Goodwill | 77 |
| Purchase price | 217 |
The Group has not incurred any significant acquisition costs in connection with the acquisition. The purchase price is final.
In connection with the acquisition, a sum was paid which exceeds the fair value of the identifiable acquired assets and total provisions for insurance contracts. This positive balance is mainly attributable to customer relations and to expected synergies between the portfolios in the acquired activities and the Group's existing activities, which are not separately identifiable.
If the activities were included with a full year, the premium income would amount to approx. DKK 200m and the technical result would be approx. DKK 30-60m. Management believes that these pro forma figures reflect the Group's earnings level after the acquisition of the activities and that the amounts may form the basis for comparisons in subsequent financial years.
The determination of the pro forma amounts for premium income and technical result for the period is based on the following significant assumptions:
- Premiums and claims have been calculated on the basis of the fair values determined in the acquisition balance sheets for premium and claims provisions, rather than the original carrying amounts.
- Other costs, including amortisation of intangible assets, have been calculated on the basis of the fair values determined in the acquisition balance sheets, rather than the original carrying amounts.

The gross expense ratio without adjustment is calculated as the ratio of actual gross insurance operating costs to gross premium income. Other key ratios are calculated in accordance with "Recommendations & Financial Ratios 2015" issued by the Danish Society of Financial Analysts. The adjustment, which is made pursuant to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority's and the Danish Society of Financial Analysts' definitions of expense ratio and combined ratio, involves the addition of a calculated expense (rent) in respect of owner-occupied property based on a calculated market rent and the deduction of actual depreciation and operating costs on owner-occupied property. The sale of owner-occupied property in December 2016 does not affect the calculation.
*Profit/loss on discontinued and divested business after tax includes mainly Marine Hull insurance and the Finnish branch of Tryg Forsikring, which was sold in 2012.
** Solvency I ratios in 2012-2015 are the ratio between base capital and weighted assets and are audited. Solvency II ratio in 2016 is the ratio between own funds and the solvency capital requirement and is exempt from the requirement for auditing and thus not audited.

Note 30
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as per adopted by the EU on 31 December 2016 and in accordance with the Danish Statutory Order on Adoption of IFRS.
The annual report of the parent company is prepared in accordance with the executive order on financial reports presented by insurance companies and lateral pension funds issued by the Danish FSA.
The deviations from the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRS are:
- The Danish FSA’s executive order does not allow provisions for deferred tax of contingency reserves allocated from untaxed funds. Deferred tax and the other comprehensive income of the parent company have been adjusted accordingly on the transition to IFRS.
The following deviations are only relevant in related to presentation between the Group and parent:
-
The Executive order on financial reports by insurance companies and lateral pension funds issued by the Danish FSA from 1 January 2016 implement elements form the Solvency II regime, which sets down the basic principles for calculation of insurance provisions:
-
Best estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows for incurred insurance
- Risk margin is the amount a business will have to pay any acquirer of an insurance portfolio for taking over the risk that the actual expenses in connection with settlement of insurance provisions deviate from best estimate.
-
An interest rate curve laid down for Solvency II. Tryg Forsikring uses the interest rate curve without adjustment.
-
Solvency II incorporates the expected profit in the capital base at the time when insurance is incurred.
-
Premium income represents gross premiums written during the year, net of reinsurance premiums and adjusted for changes in premium provisions, corresponding to an accrual of premiums to the risk period of the policies, in the reinsurers’ share of the premium provisions, and the change in profit margin and risk margin.
-
Technical interest, unwinding and discounting is presented as part of Return and value adjustment on insurance provisions
-
Changes in risk margin related to claims provisions are deducted and presented in a separate line Change in risk margin.
-
Premium provisions are stated at the present value of the best estimate of the expected payments for future insurance events covered by existing insurance policies. In Tryg Forsikring insurances are mainly signed for one year. Expected payments include claims and costs for claims handling, other costs as well as bonus and discounts.
-
Profit margin is the expected profit of the remaining period of cover for written insurance. Profit margin is calculated as the difference between premiums for future periods of cover for written insurance, and the expected payments included in premium provision.
The profit margin is deducted with the portion of the risk margin attributable to the settlement of premium provision.
If expected present value of future payments and risk margin for a portfolio of insurance policies with similar risks exceeds the premium, the profit margin for this portfolio is recognised at zero.
Changes in the present value of the expected payments as a result of the change in the yield curve, as well as unwinding of the profit margin are transferred to Return and value adjustment on insurance provisions.
- Claims provisions are calculated at present value of best estimate of incurred claims, covered by incurred insurance. Risk margin is the amount a business will have to pay any acquirer of an insurance portfolio for taking over the risk that the actual expenses in connection with settlement of insurance provisions deviate from best estimate.
At Tryg Forsikring, the risk margin is calculated using a method equivalent to the Solvency II risk margin based on a Cost of Capital method.
Change in accounting policies
Group and Parent
Tryg Forsikring has implemented the amendments, which prescribes applying a new yield curve from the Executive order on financial reports by insurance companies and lateral pension funds issued by the Danish FSA from 1 January 2016. The executive order prescribes a change from applying a yield curve issued by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority to applying a new yield curve published by EIOPA.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 83
For Tryg Forsikring, this means applying a yield curve at a lower level. The comparative figures for 2015 are restated accordingly. Figures for previous years have not been restated as this is impracticable due to the non-existence of the new yield curve published by EIOPA before 01.01.2015.
The comparative figures have been restated for 2015 with the following amounts:
| Income statement | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total Investment return after insurance technical interest | -17 | |
| Tax | 5 | |
| Profit and loss for the period | -12 | |
| Statement of financial position | 1.1.2015 | 31.12.15 |
| Equity | -175 | -187 |
| Insurance provisions | 226 | 243 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | -51 | -56 |
| ww |
Parent
The new executive order will only affect the total provisions for insurance contracts with the above-mentioned figures, but have affected risk margin and profit margin in the presentation.
Previously, profit margin and risk margin have not been separate provision items in the financial statement.
Premium provisions are calculated at present value of best estimate of expected payment of future claims, covered by incurred insurance.
Profit margin is the expected profit of the remaining period of cover for written insurance. Profit margin is calculated as the difference between premiums for future periods of cover for written insurance, and the expected payments and risk margin included in premium provision.
Claims provisions are calculated at present value of best estimate of incurred claims, covered by incurred insurance.
Risk margin is the amount a business will have to pay any acquirer of an insurance portfolio for taking over the risk that the actual expenses in connection with settlement of insurance provisions deviate from best estimate.
At Tryg Forsikring, the risk margin is calculated using a method equivalent to the Solvency II risk margin based on a Cost of Capital model.
It is Tryg Forsikring's assessment that the amendments to the Executive Order from 2016 can be accommodated within IFRS.
Except as noted above, the accounting policies have been applied consistently with last year.
Accounting regulation
Implementation of changes to orders, accounting standards and interpretation in 2016
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued a number of changes to the international accounting standards, and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) has also issued a number of interpretations.
No standards or interpretations have been implemented for the first time for the accounting year that began on 1st January 2016 that will have a significant impact on the group.
The new executive order will only have effect on recognition and measurement in the Group's financial reporting in the following area.
-
Claims provisions
-
The claims provisions has changed following the transition to a new interest curve. The executive order prescribes a change from applying a yield curve issued by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority to applying a new yield curve published by EIOPA – the new yield curve is at a lower level.
It is Tryg Forsikring's assessment that the amendments to the Executive Order from 2016 can be accommodated within IFRS; therefore, there are not any differences between the Parent Company and the consolidated financial statements in relation to recognition and measurement as a result of the new accounting regulation, but the presentation will be affected.
There has not been implemented any other new or amended orders, standards and interpretations that have affected the group significantly.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 84
Future orders, standards and interpretations that the group has not implemented and which have still not entered into force but could affect the group significantly:
- IFRS 16 'Leases'¹
- IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'²
¹ enters into force for the accounting year commencing 1 January 2019.
² enters into force for the accounting year commencing 1 January 2018 or later insurance companies are expected to be allowed to postpone the implementation.
The implementation of IFRS 9 'financial instruments' IFRS 16 'leases' is not expected to significantly change the group's financial position.
However, IFRS 16 will change the composition of the statement of financial position, but without adding new risks. Regarding IFRS 16 Tryg Forsikring expects to get more assets and liabilities in the balance sheet but it is not expected to have a significant impact on either profit or loss or equity. Tryg Forsikring will primarily be effected by lease agreements related to cars and premises. The total impact on the balance sheet is being analysed in relation to the length of the lease agreements and amounts payable.
Regarding IFRS 9 the assessment of no significant impact on the statement of financial position or profit and loss is based on the assumption that Tryg Forsikring already carry all financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss. The implementation of IFRS 9, will not effect Tryg Forsikrings recognition and measurement.
The changes will be implemented going forward from the effective date
Changes to accounting estimates
There have been no changes to the accounting estimates in 2016
Significant accounting estimates and assessments
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are:
- Liabilities under insurance contracts
- Valuation of defined benefit plans
- Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
- Valuation of property
- Measurement of goodwill, Trademarks and Customer relations
- Control of subsidiaries
Liabilities under insurance contracts
Estimates of provisions for insurance contracts represent the Group's most critical accounting estimates, as these provisions involve a number of uncertainty factors.
Claims provisions are management's best estimate based on actuarial and statistical projections of claims and administration of claims including a margin incorporating the uncertainty related to the range of actuarial scenarios and other short and long-term risks not reflected in standard actuarial models. The projections are based on Tryg Forsikring's knowledge of historical developments, payment patterns, reporting delays, duration of the claims settlement process and other factors that might influence future developments in the liabilities.
The Group makes claims provisions, in addition to provisions for known claims, which cover estimated compensation for losses that have been incurred, but not yet reported to the Group (known as IBNR reserves) and future developments in claims, which are known to the Group but have not been finally settled. Claims provisions also include direct and indirect claims settlement costs or loss adjustment expenses that arise from events that have occurred up to the statement of financial position date even if they have not yet been reported to Tryg Forsikring.
The calculation of the claims provisions is therefore inherently uncertain and, by necessity, relies upon the making of certain assumptions as regards factors such as court decisions, amendments to legislation, social inflation and other economic trends, including inflation. The Group's actual liability for losses may therefore be subject to material positive or negative deviations relative to the initially estimated claims provisions.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 85
Claims provisions are discounted. As a result, initial changes in discount rates or changes in the duration of the claims provisions could have positive or negative effects on earnings. Discounting affects the motor third-party liability, general third-party liability, workers' compensation classes, including sickness and personal accident, in particular.
The Financial Supervisory Authority's discount curve, which is based on Eiopa's yield curves, is used to discount Danish, Norwegian and Swedish claims provisions in relation to the relevant functional currencies.
Several assumptions and estimates underlying the calculation of the claims provisions are mutually dependent. This has the greatest impact on assumptions regarding interest rates and inflation.
Defined benefit pension schemes
The Group operates a defined-benefit plan in Norway. A defined-benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, depending on age, years of service and salary.
The net obligation with respect to the defined- benefit plan is based on actuarial calculations involving a number of assumptions. The assumptions include discount interest rate, expected future salary and pension adjustments, turnover, mortality and disability.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Measurements of financial assets and liabilities for which prices are quoted in an active market or which are based on generally accepted models with observable market data are not subject to material estimates. For securities that are not listed on a stock exchange, or for which no stock exchange price is quoted that reflects the fair value of the instrument, the fair value is determined using a current OTC price of a similar financial instrument or using a model calculation. The valuation models include the discounting of the instrument cash flow using an appropriate market interest rate with due consideration for credit and liquidity premiums.
Valuation of property
Property is divided into owner-occupied property and investment property. Owner-occupied property is assessed at the reassessed value that is equivalent to the fair value at the time of reassessment, with a deduction for depreciation and write-downs. The fair value is calculated based on a market-determined rental income, as well as operating expenses in proportion to the property's required rate of return in per cent. Investment property is recognised at fair value. The calculation of fair value is based on market prices, taking into consideration the type of property, location and maintenance standard, and based on a market-determined rental income as well as operating expenses in proportion to the property's required rate of return. Cf. note 12 and 13.
Measurement of goodwill, Trademarks and Customer relations
Goodwill, Trademarks and customer relations was acquired in connection with acquisition of businesses. Goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units under which management manages the investment. The carrying amount is tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment testing involves estimates of future cash flows and is affected by a number of factors, including discount rates and other circumstances dependent on economic trends, such as customer behaviour and competition. Cf. note 11.
Control of subsidiaries
Control of subsidiaries is assessed yearly. Hence, whether a subsidiary should still be part of the consolidation on line-by-line basis or as a single line item in the balance sheet.
Description of accounting policies
Recognition and measurement
The annual report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of owner-occupied property, where increases are recognised in other comprehensive income, and revaluation of investment property, financial assets held for trading and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value in the income statement.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 86
Assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group, and the value of such assets can be measured reliably. Liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a prior event, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow out of the Group, and the value of such liabilities can be measured reliably.
On initial recognition, assets and liabilities are measured at cost, with the exception of financial assets, which are recognised at fair value. Measurement subsequent to initial recognition is effected as described below for each item. Anticipated risks and losses that arise before the time of presentation of the annual report and that confirm or invalidate affairs and conditions existing at the statement of financial position date are considered at recognition and measurement.
Income is recognised in the income statement as earned, whereas costs are recognised by the amounts attributable to this financial year. Value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement unless otherwise described below.
All amounts in the notes are shown in millions of DKK, unless otherwise stated.
Consolidation
Consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Tryg Forsikring A/S (the parent company) and the enterprises (subsidiaries) controlled by the parent company. The parent company is regarded as controlling an enterprise when it i) exercises a controlling influence over the relevant activities in the enterprise in question, ii) is exposed to or has the right to a variable return on its investment, and iii) can exercise its controlling influence to affect the variable return.
Enterprises in which the Group directly or indirectly holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights and exercises significant influence but no controlling influence are classified as associates.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the financial statements of Tryg Forsikring A/S and its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining items of a uniform nature.
The financial statements used for the consolidation are prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies.
On consolidation, intra-group income and costs, intra-group accounts and dividends, and gains and losses arising on transactions between the consolidated enterprises are eliminated.
Items of subsidiaries are fully recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Business combinations
Newly acquired or newly established enterprises are recognised in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and the date of formation, respectively. The date of acquisition is the date on which control of the acquired enterprise actually passes to Tryg Forsikring. Divested or discontinued enterprises are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income up to the date of disposal or the settlement date. The date of disposal is the date on which control of the divested enterprise actually passes to a third party.
The purchase method is applied for new acquisitions if the Group gains control of the acquired enterprise. Subsequently, identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities in the acquired enterprises are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Non-current assets, which are acquired with the intention of selling them, are, however, measured at fair value less expected selling costs. Restructuring costs are recognised in the pre-acquisition balance sheet only if they constitute an obligation for the acquired enterprise. The tax effect of revaluations is taken into account. The acquisition price of an enterprise consists of the fair value of the price paid for the acquired enterprise. If the final determination of the price is conditional upon one or more future events, such events are recognised at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Costs relating to the acquisition are recognised in the income statement as incurred.
Any positive balances (goodwill) between the acquisition price of the acquired enterprise, the value of minority interests in the acquired enterprise and the fair value of previously acquired equity investments, on the one hand, and the fair value of the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, on the other hand, are recognised as an asset under intangible assets, and are tested for impairment at least once a year. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, it is impaired to the lower recoverable amount.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 87
In the event of negative balances (negative goodwill), the calculated fair values, the calculated acquisition price of the enterprise, the value of minority interests in the acquired enterprise and the fair value of previously acquired equity investments are revalued. If the balance is still negative, the amount is recognised as income in the income statement.
If, at the date of acquisition, there is uncertainty as to the identification or measurement of acquired assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities or the determination of the acquisition price, initial recognition is based on a preliminary determination of values. The preliminarily determined values may be adjusted or additional assets or liabilities may be recognised up to 12 months after the acquisition, provided that new information has come to light regarding matters existing at the date of acquisition which would have affected the determination of the values at the date of acquisition, had such information been known.
As a rule, subsequent changes in estimates of conditional acquisition prices are recognised directly in the income statement.
Currency translation
A functional currency is determined for each of the reporting entities in the Group. The functional currency is the currency used in the primary economic environment in which the reporting entity operates. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are transactions in foreign currencies.
On initial recognition, transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate applicable at the transaction date. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates applicable at the statement of financial position date. Translation differences are recognised in the income statement under price adjustments.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated using the exchange rates applicable at the statement of financial position date. Income and expense items are translated using the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange rate differences arising on translation are classified as other comprehensive income and transferred to the Group's translation reserve. Such translation differences are recognised as income or as expenses in the period in which the activities are divested. All other foreign currency translation gains and losses are recognised in the income statement.
The presentation currency in the annual report is DKK.
Segment reporting
Segment information is based on the Group's management and internal financial reporting system and supports the management decisions on allocation of resources and assessment of the Group's results divided into segments.
The operational business segments in the Tryg Forsikring are Private, Commercial, Corporate and Sweden. Private encompasses the sale of insurances to private individuals in Denmark and Norway. Commercial encompasses the sale of insurances to small and medium sized businesses, in Denmark and Norway. Corporate sells insurances to industrial clients primarily in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. In addition, Corporate handles all business involving brokers. Sweden encompasses the sale of insurance products to private individuals in Sweden as well as sale of Product insurances in the Nordic region.
Geographical information is presented on the basis of the economic environment in which the Tryg Forsikring Group operates. The geographical areas are Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Segment income and segment costs as well as segment assets and liabilities comprise those items that can be directly attributed to each individual segment and those items that can be allocated to the individual segments on a reliable basis. Unallocated items primarily comprise assets and liabilities concerning investment activity managed at Group level.
Key ratios
Earnings per share (EPS) are calculated according to IAS 33. This and other key ratios are calculated in accordance with Recommendations and Ratios 2015 issued by the Danish Society of Financial Analysts and the Executive Order on Financial Reports for Insurance Companies and Multi-Employer Occupational Pension Funds issued by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 88
Income statement
Premiums
Premium income represents gross premiums written during the year, net of reinsurance premiums and adjusted for changes in premium provisions, corresponding to an accrual of premiums to the risk period of the policies, in the reinsurers' share of the premium provisions.
Premiums are calculated as premium income in accordance with the risk exposure over the cover period, calculated separately for each individual insurance contract. The calculation is generally based on the pro rata method, although this is adjusted for an unevenly divided risk between lines of business with strong seasonal variations or for policies lasting many years.
The portion of premiums received on contracts that relate to unexpired risks at the statement of financial position date is reported under premium provisions.
The portion of premiums paid to reinsurers that relate to unexpired risks at the statement of financial position date is reported as the reinsurers' share of premium provisions.
Technical interest
Technical interest is presented as a calculated return on the year's average insurance liability provisions, net of reinsurance. The calculated interest return for grouped classes of risks is calculated as the monthly average provision plus an actual interest from the present yield curve for each individual group of risks. The interest is applied according to the expected run-off pattern of the provisions.
Insurance technical interest is reduced by the portion of the increase in net provisions that relates to unwinding.
Claims
Claims are claims paid during the year and adjusted for changes in claims provisions less the reinsurers' share. In addition, the item includes run-off gains/losses in respect of previous years. The portion of the increase in provisions, which can be ascribed to unwinding, is transferred to insurance technical interest.
Claims are shown inclusive of direct and indirect claims handling costs, including costs of inspecting and assessing claims, costs to combat and mitigate damage and other direct and indirect costs associated with the handling of claims incurred.
Changes in claims provisions due to changes in yield curve and exchange rates are recognised as a price adjustment.
Tryg Forsikring hedges the risk of changes in future pay and price figures for provisions for workers' compensation. Tryg Forsikring uses zero coupon inflation swaps acquired with a view to hedging the inflation risk. Value adjustments of these swaps are included in claims, thereby reducing the effect of changes to inflation expectations under claims.
Bonus and premium discounts
Bonuses and premium discounts represent anticipated and refunded premiums to policyholders, where the amount refunded depends on the claims record, and for which the criteria for payment have been defined prior to the financial year or when the insurance was taken out.
Insurance operating expenses
Insurance operating costs represent acquisition costs and administration expenses less reinsurance commissions received. Expenses relating to acquiring and renewing the insurance portfolio are recognised at the time of writing the business. Underwriting commission is recognised when a legal obligation occurs. Administration expenses are all other expenses attributable to the administration of the insurance portfolio. Administration expenses are accrued to match the financial year.
Leasing
Leases are classified either as operating or finance leases. The assessment of the lease is based on criteria such as ownership, right of purchase when the lease term expires, considerations as to whether the asset is custom made, the lease term and the present value of the lease payments.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 89
Assets held under operating leases are not recognised in the statement of financial position, but the lease payments are recognised in the income statement over the term of the lease, corresponding to the economic lifetime of the asset. The Group has no assets held under finance leases.
Sale and lease back of owner-occupied property – operating lease
Sale and lease back transactions are carried out at fair value and any gains or losses are recognised immediately either in the income statement or other comprehensive income.
Losses are recognised in the income statement unless it is a reversal of a write up previously recognised in other comprehensive income. Gains are recognised in other comprehensive income unless it is a reversal of write down previously recognise in the income statement.
Share-based payment
The Tryg Forsikring Group’s incentive programmes comprise share option programmes, employee shares and matching shares.
Share option programme
The share option programme was closed in 2012 and the share option plan comprised no share options at the end of 2016.
The value of services received as consideration for options granted is measured at the fair value of the options.
Equity-settled share options are measured at fair value at the time of allocation and recognised under staff expenses over the period from the time of allocation until vesting. The balancing item is recognised directly in equity.
The options are issued at an exercise price that corresponds to the market price of Tryg’s shares at the time of allocation plus 10%. No other vesting conditions apply. Special provisions are in place concerning sickness and death and in case of change to the Tryg’s capital position etc.
The share option agreement entitles the employee to the options unless the employee resigns his position or is dismissed due to breach of the contract of employment. In case of termination due to restructuring or retirement, the employee is still entitled to the options.
The share options are exercisable exclusively during a 13-day period, which starts the day after the publication of full-year, half-year and quarterly reports and in accordance with Tryg’s in-house rules on trading in the Tryg Group’s shares. The options are settled in shares.
The fair value of the options granted is estimated using the Black & Scholes option model. The calculation takes into account the terms and conditions of the share options granted.
Employee shares
According to established rules, the Group’s employees can be granted a bonus in the form of employee shares. When the bonus is granted, employees can choose between receiving shares or cash. The expected value of the shares will be expensed over the vesting period. The scheme will be treated as a complex financial instrument, consisting of the right to cash settlement and the right to request delivery of shares. The difference between the value of shares and the cash payment is recognised in equity and is not remeasured. The remainder is treated as a liability and is remeasured until the time of exercise, such that the total recognition is based on the actual number of shares or the actual cash amount.
Matching shares
Members of Executive Board and other senior employees have been allocated shares in accordance with the "Matching shares" scheme. Under Matching shares, the individual Executive Board member or other senior employee is allocated one share in Tryg A/S for each share he or she acquires in Tryg A/S at the market rate for certain liquid cash at a contractually agreed sum in connection with the Matching share programme.
The holder acquires the shares in the open window following publication of the annual report for Tryg A/S for the previous year. The shares (matching shares) are provided free of charge, three or four years after the time of purchase of the investment shares. The holder may not sell the shares until six months after the matching time.
The shares are recognised at market value and are accrued over the four or three year maturation period, based on the market price at the time of acquisition. Recognition is from the end of the month of acquisition under staff expenses with a balancing entry directly in equity. If the holder retires during
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 90
the maturation period but remains entitled to shares, the remaining expense is recognised in the current accounting year.
Investment activities
Income from associates includes the Group’s share of the associates’ net profit.
Income from investment properties before fair value adjustment represents the profit from property operations less property management expenses.
Interest and dividends represent interest earned and dividends received during the financial year. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses, including gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, value adjustment of investment property, foreign currency translation adjustments and the effect of movements in the yield curve used for discounting, are recognised as price adjustments.
Investment management charges represent expenses relating to the management of investments including salary and management fees on the investment area.
Other income and expenses
Other income and expenses include income and expenses, which cannot be ascribed to the Group’s insurance portfolio or investment assets, including the sale of products for Nordea Liv & Pension.
Discontinued and divested business
Discontinued and divested business is consolidated in one item in the income statement and supplemented with disclosure of the discontinued and divested business in a note to the financial statements. Discontinued and divested business includes gross premiums, gross claims, gross costs, profit/loss on ceded business, insurance technical interest net of reinsurance, investment return after insurance technical interest, other income and costs and tax in respect of the discontinued business. Any reversal of earlier impairment is recognised under other income and costs.
The statement of financial position items concerning discontinued activities are reported unchanged under the respective entries whereas assets and liabilities concerning divested activities are consolidated under one item as assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale.
The comparative figures, including five-year financial highlights and key ratios, have been restated to reflect discontinued business. Discontinued and divested business in the income statement includes the profit/loss after tax of the run-off for the marine hull business and the divested activities in the Finnish branch. Discontinued business also comprises the Tryg Forsikring A/S run-off business.
Statement of financial position
Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill was acquired in connection with acquisition of business. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the cost of the undertaking and the fair value of acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the time of acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units under which management manages the investment and is recognised under intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for depreciation at least once per year.
Trademarks and customer relations
Trademarks and customer relations have been identified as intangible assets on acquisition. The intangible assets are recognised at fair value at the time of acquisition and amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected economic lifetime of 5–12 years.
Software
Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incidental to acquiring and bringing to use the specific software. The costs are amortised based on an estimated economic lifetime of up to 4 years.
Costs for group developed software that are directly connected with the production of identifiable and unique software products, where there is sufficient certainty that future earnings will exceed the costs in more than one year, are reported as intangible assets. Direct costs include personnel costs for software development and directly attributable relevant fixed costs. All other costs connected with the development or maintenance of software are continuously charged as expenses.

After completion of the development work, the asset is amortised according to the straight-line method over the assessed economic lifetime, though over a maximum of 4 years. The amortisation basis is reduced by any impairment and write-downs.
Assets under construction
Group-developed intangibles are recorded under the entry "Assets under construction" until they are put into use, whereupon they are reclassified as software and are amortized in accordance with the amortization periods stated above.
Fixed assets
Operating equipment
Fixtures and operating equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost encompasses the purchase price and costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the relevant assets until the time when such assets are ready to be brought into use.
Depreciation of operating equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over its estimated economic lifetime as follows:
- IT, 4 - 8 years
- Vehicles, 5 years
- Furniture, fittings and equipment, 5-10 years
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the expected economic lifetime, however maximally the term of the lease.
Gains and losses on disposals and retired assets are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserves are transferred to retained earnings.
Land and buildings
Land and buildings are divided into owner-occupied property and investment property. The Group's owner-occupied properties consist of the head office buildings in Ballerup and Bergen and a small number of holiday homes. The remaining properties are classified as investment property.
Owner-occupied property
Owner-occupied property is property that is used in the Group's operations. Owner-occupied properties are measured in the statement of financial position at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluations are performed regularly to avoid material differences between the carrying amounts and fair values of owner-occupied property at the statement of financial position date. The fair value is calculated on the basis of market-specific rental income per property and typical operating expenses for the coming year. The resulting operating income is divided by the required return on the property in per cent, which is adjusted to reflect market interest rates and property characteristics, corresponding to the present value of a perpetual annuity.
Increases in the revalued carrying amounts of owner-occupied property are recognised in the revaluation reserve in equity. Decreases that offset previous revaluations of the same asset are charged against the revaluation reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement.
Costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed in the income statement when incurred.
Depreciation on owner-occupied property is calculated based on the straight-line method and using an estimated economic lifetime of up to 50 years. Land is not depreciated.
Assets under construction
In connection with the refurbishment of owner-occupied property, costs to be capitalised are recognised at cost under owner-occupied property. On completion of the project, it is reclassified as owner-
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 92
occupied property, and depreciation is made on a straight-line basis over the expected economic lifetime, up to the number of years stated under the individual categories.
Investment property
Properties held for renting yields that are not occupied by the Group are classified as investment properties.
Investment property is recognised at fair value. Fair value is based on market prices, adjusted for any differences in the nature, location or maintenance condition of specific assets. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods such as discounted cash flow projections and recent prices in the market.
The fair value is calculated on the basis of market-specific rental income per property and typical operating expenses for the coming year. The resulting operating income is divided by the required return on the property in per cent, which is adjusted to reflect market interest rates and property characteristics, corresponding to the present value of a perpetual annuity. The value is subsequently adjusted with the value in use of the return on prepayments and deposits and adjustments for specific property issues such as vacant premises or special tenant terms and conditions.
Changes in fair values are recorded in the income statement.
Impairment test for intangible assets, property and operating equipment
Operating equipment and intangible assets are assessed at least once per year to ensure that the depreciation method and the depreciation period that is used are connected to the expected economic lifetime. This also applies to the salvage value. Write-down is performed if depreciation has been demonstrated. A continuous assessment of owner-occupied property is performed.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more often if there are indications of impairment, and impairment testing is performed for each cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The present value is normally established using budgeted cash flows based on business plans. The business plans are based on past experience and expected market developments.
Equity investments in Group undertakings
The parent company's equity investments in subsidiaries are recognised and measured using the equity method. The parent company's share of the enterprises' profits or losses after elimination of unrealised intra-group profits and losses is recognised in the income statement. In the statement of financial position, equity investments are measured at the pro rata share of the enterprises' equity.
Subsidiaries with a negative net asset value are recognised at zero value. Any receivables from these enterprises are written down by the parent company's share of such negative net asset value where the receivables are deemed irrecoverable. If the negative net asset value exceeds the amount receivable, the remaining amount is recognised under provisions if the parent company has a legal or constructive obligation to cover the liabilities of the relevant enterprise.
Net revaluation of equity investments in subsidiaries is taken to reserve for net revaluation under equity if the carrying amount exceeds cost.
The results of foreign subsidiaries are based on translation of the items in the income statement using average exchange rates for the period unless they deviate significantly from the transaction day exchange rates. Income and costs in domestic enterprises denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates applicable on the transaction date.
Statement of financial position items of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rates applicable at the statement of financial position date.
When is it assessed that the parent company no longer has control over the subsidiary, it will be transferred to either assets held for sale or unquoted shares and when sold, it will be derecognised.
Equity investments in associates
Associates are enterprises in which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally in the form of an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Equity investments in associates are measured using the equity method so that the carrying amount of the investment
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 93
represents the Group's proportionate share of the enterprises' net assets.
Profit after tax from equity investments in associates is included as a separate line in the income statement. Income is made up after elimination of unrealised intra-group profits and losses.
Associates with a negative net asset value are measured at zero value. If the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to cover the associate's negative balance, such obligation is recognised under liabilities.
Investments
Investments include financial assets at fair value, which are recognised in the income statement. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments on initial recognition and re-evaluates this at every reporting date.
Financial assets measured at fair value with recognition of value adjustments in the income statement comprise assets that form part of a trading portfolio and financial assets designated at fair value with value adjustment via the income statement.
Financial assets at fair value recognised in income statement
Financial assets are recognised at fair value on initial recognition if they are entered in a portfolio that is managed in accordance with fair value. Derivative financial instruments are similarly classified as financial assets held for sale, unless they are classified as security.
Realised and unrealised profits and losses that may arise as a result of changes in the fair value for the category financial assets at fair value are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired, or if they have been transferred, and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
The fair values of quoted securities are based on stock exchange prices at the statement of financial position date. For securities that are not listed on a stock exchange, or for which no stock exchange price is quoted that reflects the fair value of the instrument, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. These include the use of similar recent arm's length transactions, reference to other similar instruments or discounted cash flow analysis.
Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Group's activities expose it to financial risks, including changes in share prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and inflation. Forward exchange contracts and currency swaps are used for currency hedging of portfolios of shares, bonds, hedging of foreign entities and insurance statement of financial position items. Interest rate derivatives in the form of futures, forward contracts, repos, swaps and FRAs are used to manage cash flows and interest rate risks related to the portfolio of bonds and insurance provisions. Share derivatives in the form of futures and options are used from time to time to adjust share exposures.
Derivative financial instruments are reported from the trading date and are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value. Positive fair values of derivatives are recognised as derivative financial instruments under assets. Negative fair values of derivatives are recognised under derivative financial instruments under liabilities. Positive and negative values are only offset when the company is entitled or intends to make net settlement of more financial instruments.
Calculation of value is generally performed on the basis of rates supplied by Danske Bank with relevant information providers and is checked by the Group's valuation technicians. Discounting on the basis of market interest rates is applied in the case of derivative financial instruments involving an expected future cash flow.
Recognition of the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of investments in foreign entities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges in foreign entities and which provide effective currency hedging of the net investment are recognised directly in equity. The net asset value of the foreign entities estimated at the beginning of the financial year is hedged 90-100% by
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 94
entering into short-term forward exchange contracts according to the requirements of hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the income statement on disposal of the foreign entity.
Reinsurers' share of provisions for insurance contracts
Contracts entered into by the Group with reinsurers under which the Group is compensated for losses on one or more contracts issued by the Group and that meet the classification requirements for insurance contracts are classified as reinsurers' share of provisions for insurance contracts. Contracts that do not meet these classification requirements are classified as financial assets.
The benefits to which the Group is entitled under its reinsurance contracts held are recognised as assets and reported as reinsurers' share of provisions for insurance contracts.
Amounts receivable from reinsurers are measured consistently with the amounts associated with the reinsured insurance contracts and in accordance with the terms of each reinsurance contract. Changes due to unwinding are recognised in insurance technical interest. Changes due to changes in the yield curve or foreign exchange rates are recognised as price adjustments.
The Group continuously assesses its reinsurance assets for impairment. If there is objective evidence that the reinsurance asset is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance asset to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
Receivables
Total receivables comprise accounts receivable from policyholders and insurance companies as well as other accounts receivable. Other receivables primarily contain accounts receivable in connection with property.
Receivables that arise as a result of insurance contracts are classified in this category and are reviewed for impairment as a part of the impairment test of accounts receivable.
Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and are subsequently assessed at amortised cost. The income statement includes an estimated reservation for expected unobtainable sums when there is a clear indication of asset impairment. The reservation entered is assessed as the difference between the carrying amount of an asset and the present value of expected future cash flows.
Other assets
Other assets include current tax assets and cash at bank and in hand. Current tax assets are receivables concerning tax for the year adjusted for on-account payments and any prior-year adjustments. Cash at bank and in hand is recognised at nominal value at the statement of financial position date.
Prepayments and accrued income
Prepayments include expenses paid in respect of subsequent financial years and interest receivable. Accrued underwriting commission relating to the sale of insurance products is also included.
Equity
Share capital
Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets. Costs directly attributable to the issue of equity instruments are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds, net of tax.
Revaluation reserves
Revaluation of owner-occupied property is recognised in other comprehensive income unless the revaluation offsets a previous impairment loss.
Foreign currency translation reserve
Assets and liabilities of foreign entities are recognised using the exchange rate applicable at the statement of financial position date. Income and expense items are recognised using the average monthly exchange rates for the period. Any resulting differences are recognised in Other comprehensive income. When an entity is wound up, the balance is transferred to the income statement. The hedging of the currency risk in respect of foreign entities is also offset in other comprehensive income in respect of the part that concerns the hedge.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 95
Contingency fund reserves
Contingency fund reserves are recognised as part of retained earnings under equity. The reserves may only be used when so permitted by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and when it is for the benefit of the policyholders. The Norwegian contingency fund reserves include provisions for the Norwegian Natural Perils Pool and security reserve. The Danish and Swedish provisions comprise contingency fund provisions. Deferred tax on the Norwegian and Swedish contingency fund reserves is allocated.
Dividends
Proposed dividend is recognised as a liability at the time of adoption by the shareholders at the annual general meeting (date of declaration).
Subordinate loan capital
Subordinate loan capital is recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subordinate loan capital is subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the borrowing period using the effective interest method.
Provisions for insurance contracts
Premiums written are recognised in the income statement (premium income) proportionally over the period of coverage and, where necessary, adjusted to reflect any time variation of the risk. The portion of premiums received on in-force contracts that relates to unexpired risks at the statement of financial position date is reported as premium provisions. Premium provisions are generally calculated according to a best estimate of expected payments throughout the agreed risk period; however, as a minimum as the part of the premium calculated using the pro rata temporis principle until the next payment date. Adjustments are made to reflect any risk variations. This applies to gross as well as ceded business.
Claims and claims handling costs are expensed in the income statement as incurred based on the estimated liability for compensation owed to policyholders or third parties sustaining losses at the hands of the policyholders. They include direct and indirect claims handling costs that arise from events that have occurred up to the statement of financial position date even if they have not yet been reported to the Group. Claims provisions are estimated using the input of assessments for individual cases reported to the Group and statistical analyses for the claims incurred but not reported and the expected ultimate cost of more complex claims that may be affected by external factors (such as court decisions). The provisions include claims handling costs.
Claims provisions are discounted. Discounting is based on a yield curve reflecting duration applied to the expected future payments from the provision. Discounting affects the motor liability, professional liability, workers' compensation and personal accident and health insurance classes, in particular.
Provisions for bonuses and premium discounts etc. represent amounts expected to be paid to policyholders in view of the claims experience during the financial year.
Claims provisions are determined for each line of business based on actuarial methods. Where such business lines encompass more than one business area, short-tailed claims provisions are distributed based on number of claims reported while long-tailed claims provisions are distributed based on premiums earned. The models currently used are Chain-Ladder, Bornhuetter-Ferguson, the Loss Ratio method and De Vylder's credibility method. Chain-Ladder techniques are used for lines of business with a stable run-off pattern. The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method, and sometimes the Loss Ratio method, are used for claims years in which the previous run-off provides insufficient information about the future run-off performance. De Vylder's credibility method is used for areas that are somewhere in between the Chain-Ladder and Bornhuetter-Ferguson/Loss Ratio methods, and may also be used in situations that call for the use of exposure targets other than premium volume, for example the number of insured.
The provision for annuities under workers' compensation insurance is calculated on the basis of a mortality corresponding to the G82 calculation basis (official mortality table).
In some instances, the historic data used in the actuarial models is not necessarily predictive of the expected future development of claims. For example, this is the case with legislative changes where an a priori estimate is used for premium increases related to the expected increase in claims. In connection with legislative changes, the same estimate is used for determining the change in the level of claims. Subsequently, this estimate is maintained until new loss history materialises which can be used for re-estimation.
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 96
Several assumptions and estimates underlying the calculation of the claims provisions are mutually dependent. Most importantly, this can be expected to be the case for assumptions relating to interest rates and inflation.
Workers' compensation is an area in which explicit inflation assumptions are used, with annuities for the insured being indexed based on the workers' compensation index. An inflation curve that reflects the market's inflation expectations plus a real wage spread is used as an approximation to the workers' compensation index.
For other lines of business, the inflation assumptions, because present only implicitly in the actuarial models, will cause a certain lag in predicting the level of future losses when a change in inflation occurs. On the other hand, the effect of discounting will show immediately as a consequence of inflation changes to the extent that such changes affect the interest rate.
Other correlations are not deemed to be significant.
Liability adequacy test
Tests are continuously performed to ensure the adequacy of the insurance provisions. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future cash flows of claims, gains and direct and indirect claims handling costs are used. Any deficiency results in an increase in the relevant provision, and the adjustment is recognised in the income statement.
Employee benefits
Pension obligations
The Group operates various pension schemes. The schemes are funded through contributions to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds. In Norway, the Group operates a defined-benefit plan. In Denmark, the Group operates a defined-contribution plan. A defined-contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions. In Sweden, the Group complies with the industry pension agreement, FTP-Planen. FTP-Planen is primarily a defined-benefit plan as regards the future pension benefits. Försäkringsbranschens Pensionskassa (FPK) is unable to provide sufficient information for the Group to use defined-benefit accounting. The plan is accounted for as a defined-contribution plan.
For the defined-benefit plan recognised in the statement of financial position, an annual actuarial calculation is made of the capital value of the future benefits to which employees are entitled as a result of their employment with the group so far and which must be disbursed according to the plan. The capital value is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which are based on input Cf. note 20.
The capital value of the pension obligations less the fair value of any plan assets is recognised in the statement of financial position under pension assets and pension obligations, respectively, depending on whether the net amount is an asset or a liability.
In case of changes to assumptions concerning the discounting factor, inflation, mortality and disability or in case of differences between expected and realised returns on pension assets, actuarial gains or losses ensue. These gains and losses are recognised under other comprehensive income.
In case of changes to the benefits stemming from the employees' employment with the group so far, a change is seen in the actuarially calculated capital value which is considered as pension costs for previous financial years. The change is recognised in the results immediately. Net finance costs for the year are recognised in the investment return. All other costs are recognised under insurance operating costs. The plan is closed for new business.
Other employee benefits
Employees of the Group are entitled to a fixed payment when they reach retirement and when they have been employed with the Group for 25 and for 40 years. The Group recognises this liability at the time of signing the contract of employment.
In special instances, the employee can enter into a contract with the Group to receive compensation for loss of pension benefits caused by reduced working hours. The Group recognises this liability based on statistical models.
Income tax and deferred tax
The Group expenses current tax according to the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Current tax liabilities and current tax receivables are recognised in the statement of financial position
Tryg Forsikring, Annual report 2016, page 97
as estimated tax on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for change in tax on prior years' taxable income and for tax paid under the on-account tax scheme.
Deferred tax is measured according to the statement of financial position liability method on all timing differences between the tax and accounting value of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax is measured using the tax rules and tax rates that apply in the relevant countries on the statement of financial position date when the deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets, including the tax value of tax losses carried forward, are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be realised against which the temporary differences can be offset.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences concerning investments, except where Tryg Forsikring controls when the temporary difference will be realised, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not be realised in the foreseeable future.
Other provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of an event prior to or at the statement of financial position date, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow out of the Group. Provisions are measured at the best estimate by management of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation.
Provisions for restructurings are recognised as obligations when a detailed formal restructuring plan has been announced prior to or at the statement of financial position date at the latest to the persons affected by the plan.
Own insurance is included under other provisions. The provisions apply to the Group's own insurance claims and are reported when the damage occurs according to the same principle as the Group's other claims provisions.
Debt
Debt comprises debt in connection with direct insurance and reinsurance, amounts owed to credit institutions, current tax obligations and other debt. Derivative financial instruments are assessed at fair value according to the same practice that applies to financial assets. Other liabilities are assessed at amortised cost based on the effective interest method.
Cash flow statement
The consolidated cash flow statement is presented using the direct method and shows cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as well as the Group's cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the financial year. No separate cash flow statement has been prepared for the parent company because it is included in the consolidated cash flow statement.
Cash flows from operating activities are calculated whereby major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments are disclosed.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments in connection with the purchase and sale of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment as well as financial assets and deposits with credit institutions.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the size or composition of Tryg Forsikring's share capital and related costs as well as the raising of loans, repayments of interest-bearing debt and the payment of dividends.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and demand deposits.

Impairment test
Goodwill
In 2016, Tryg acquired Skandia's child and adult accident insurance portfolio. The insurance activities were incorporated into the Tryg Group's business structure from 1 september 2016.
In 2014, Tryg acquired Securator A/S, Optimal Djurförsäkring i Norr AB and Codan's agricultural portfolio. The insurance activities were incorporated into the Tryg Group's business structure and merged into Tryg in 2015.
At 31 December 2016, management performed an impairment test of the carrying amount of goodwill based on the allocation of the cost of goodwill to the cash-generating unit, which consists of Moderna, Securator and the Skandia portfolio, respectively. The Value-in-use method is used.
Primary assumptions for impairment test:
When assessing the cash flow management has based its estimates of premiums earned on the insurance portfolio adjusted to reflect the expected effect of business decisions and market development from past experiences. The portfolio is indexed with the wage and salary index. Claims incurred are based on expected claims ratios, which corresponds to current levels. Moderna is adjusted for weather and large-scale claims as well. Nonsurance is taken into account when looking at the overall technical result together with the expected cost ratio. Required returns are based on management's own requirements for returns of the individual cash generation units and are not expected to change significantly in the near future.
Moderna
Comprises the sale of insurance products to private customers under the 'Moderna' brand. Moreover, insurance is sold under the brands Atlantica, Bilsport & MC and Moderna Djurförsäkringar. Sales take place through its own sales force, call centres and online.
The cash flows appearing from the latest prognosis approved by management for the next 6 quarters are used when calculating the value in use of Moderna. The cash flows in the latest budget period have been extrapolated for financial years after the budget periods (terminal period) and adjusted for expected growth rates determined on the basis of expectations for the general economic growth. The required return is based on an assessment of the risk profile of the tested business activities compared with the market's expectations for the Group.
The impairment test shows a calculated value in use of approximately DKK 1.2bn (DKK 1.3bn) relative to a recognised goodwill of DKK 354m (DKK 368m) and Equity of DKK 0.7bn (DKK 0.8bn) and does not indicate any impairment in 2016.

Securator
In 2014, Tryg Forsikring acquired Securator A/S. The insurance activities were incorporated into the Group's business structure in 2014 and are reported under Sweden. In 2015, Securator was merged into Tryg Forsikring A/S and is reported as part of the Swedish affinity portfolio. Securator is a Danish market leader within the sale and brokering of multi-annual product insurance via dealers in the electronics and telecommunications sector and supermarket chains.
The cash flows appearing from the latest prognosis approved by management for the next 6 quarters are used when calculating the value in use of Securator. The cash flows in the latest budget period have been extrapolated for financial years after the budget periods (terminal period) and adjusted for expected growth rates determined on the basis of expectations for the general economic growth. The required return is based on an assessment of the risk profile of the tested business activities compared with the market's expectations for the Group. The impairment test shows a calculated value in use of approximately DKK 84m (DKK 184m) relative to a recognised goodwill of DKK 84m (DKK 184m) and equity of DKK 138m (DKK 174m), which has led to an impairment in 2016 of DKK 100m, which is recognised in Other costs. The impairment is due to a lower sale of electronics, than expected and the loss of two major partners, which has led to a decline in the assumptions used.

| - Earned premium assumed CAGR > 10 years | 3% | 3% |
| - Required return before tax | 12% | 11% |
| - Expected level of Combined ratio | 89 - 91% | 83 - 91% |
Sensitivity information
Impact on equity from the following changes:
CAGR +1.0 percentage point (0 - 10 years) 6 6
CAGR -1.0 percentage point (0 - 10 years) -6 -5
Required return +1.0 percentage point -15 -35
Required return -1.0 percentage point 20 48
Combined ratio +1.0 percentage point -11 -16
Combined ratio -1.0 percentage point 10 17
An increase in the required return or combined ratio will result in a write-down of the goodwill associated with Securator. We do not expect an increase in these assumptions.
Skandia child and adult accident insurance
The impairment test for Skandia portfolio, performed at year end, is based on the valuation at the time of acquisition due to the short ownership period
The assets and liabilities have not changed significantly since the latest calculation and the recoverable amount calculated would exceed the carrying
Trademarks and customer relations
As at 31 December 2016 management performed a test of the carrying amounts of trademarks and customer relations as an integral part of the Moderna. The impairment test of the acquired agricultural portfolio is based on renewal and retention rates, which are on the expected level. The test did not indicate any impairment.
Software and assets under construction
As at 31 December 2016 management performed a test of the carrying amounts of software and assets under construction. The impairment test compares the carrying amount with the estimated present value of future cash flows. The test did indicate an impairment of DKK. Assets under construction are not depreciated but tested once a year for impairment or when there is any indication of a decrease in value. Software with a limited useful lifetime is amortised over 4 years using the straight-line method. Amortised software is assessed for impairment at the balance sheet date or when there are indications that the future cash flow cannot justify the carrying amount. In this event that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, the difference is recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less sales costs and value in use.
