Statement by Group CEO Morten Hübbe:
We deliver a good technical result, which is approximately 5% higher compared
to Q2 2016. Premium growth for the Group driven primarily by Private Denmark is
particularly noteworthy. Also, we are pleased to see progresses towards our
expense ratio target of 14 driven by our efficiency programme.
In addition, we continue to focus on digitalisation of our business and on
developing new, innovative insurance solutions, which should improve our
customers’ peace-of-mind. As an example, we have introduced new pay-per-use
coverages with a duration as low as 15 minutes. Also, we have experienced a
high demand from our customers for our latest product launches such as cyber
and child insurance products.
Finally, I am pleased that for the second year running, TryghedsGruppen has
sent bonus letters to approximately 850,000 of our Danish customers, explaining
that they will receive a bonus amounting to 8% of their premium paid for 2016.
