Tryg Forsikring's results
H1 2017 results
Tryg forsikring reported a profit before tax of DKK 1,729m (DKK 1,536m) and a profit after tax of DKK 1,347m (1,211m). The H1 technical result was better than in the corresponding period last year, while the investment return was higher driven primarily by a positive development in equity markets. The underlying claims ratio for Private improved 0.25%, while the group underlying claims ratio improved modestly as profitability in Corporate remains under pressure. The expense ratio improved to 14.3 (15.1) driven by lower nominal costs and better top line growth. Premiums growth was 1.8% driven primarily by Private.
Dividend and capital
Tryg Forsikring will pay a half-year dividend of DKK 904m. The dividend is supported by the overall results, our ambition to grow the annual nominal dividend and a robust solvency ratio of 208 after deducting the H1 2017 dividend.
Own funds totalled DKK 10,016m at the end of H1 2017 against DKK 9,850m at the end of 2016. Own funds were positively impacted by the net profit for the half-year and negatively impacted by the announced half-year dividend. Tryg's own funds are predominantly made up of shareholders' equity and subordinated loans.
The solvency capital requirement calculated using the partial internal model was DKK 4,807m in Q2 2017 compared to DKK 5,064m in Q4 2016. The solvency capital requirement based on the standard formula was DKK 5,871m in Q2 2017 compared to DKK 6,243m in Q4 2016.
SFCR publication
Tryg forsikring was among the first European insurers to publish its Solvency Financial Condition Report on 16 May. The SFCR contained only limited additional information, including capital charges by geography, balance sheet according to Solvency II versus IFRS (statutory financial statements) and SCR components as at Q4 2016. There was a lot of industry attention around the publication of the SFCR report with a clear focus on capital quality, including the use of transitional measures and the impact of long-term guarantee measures. Tryg Forsikring's solvency position does not include any benefit from the measures above as the company is a pure non-life insurer with a relatively short duration of the liabilities (less than four years).
Update on pension obligations in Norway
In May 2016, Tryg Forsikring received notice of an action from Finansforbundet in Norway (Finance Sector Union of Norway) on behalf of a group of pensioners. The action concerned an adjustment in the pension schemes of Norwegian employees made in 2014. Tryg Forsikring has now received the actual lawsuit. According to Tryg Forsikring's calculation which is unchanged from previous communication, the claim will not exceed a maximum of approximately DKK 300m after tax for the persons affected by the adjustment. As previously communicated, Tryg does not agree that the adjustment was wrongful. Consequently, Tryg expects an action to be resolved in court and does not expect a ruling to be made for the next two years.

Business initiatives
New car insurance for young drivers in Denmark
On 15 June, Private Denmark launched a new car insurance product for young drivers under the age of 30. The driver may be rewarded with a cheaper insurance price of up to 30% depending on his/her driving style and behaviour. A dongle is installed in the car and wirelessly connected to an app which analyses the driving based on approximately 20 parameters. The driver is given a score between 1 and 15, 1 being the best after each drive. If the score is below 11, a bonus is earned. The app shows the driving behaviour and earned bonus. The bonus will be paid once a year.
Insurance solution for disabled people
Commercial launched a new insurance solution for disabled citizens and their assistants priced according to the pay-per-use principle. The solution is offered in cooperation with N.T. Falke, whose customers, the disabled each month receive an invoice including both salaries and insurance for the disabled and employees of N.T. Falke. This solution makes it cheaper and easier for the disabled to administer salaries and insurance.
Medical hotline
Tryg launched a medical hotline in Denmark and Norway, giving customers access to medical advice/treatment 24/7.
In Denmark, Private launched a medical hotline which is open nights and weekends via an app with video conference and manned by specialists in general medicine. This benefits customers who do not have to go to the duty doctor or the accident and emergency department. Experience shows that 70% of all calls can be resolved via the video conference by offering treatment or counselling.
Tryg Forsikring is the first insurance company in Norway to launch a medical hotline open 24/7 for private, commercial and corporate customers. Specialists in general medicine and nurses are ready to answer calls at all times – on workdays, evenings, vacations, bank holidays – counselling, answering questions, writing prescriptions or referring to a specialist.
Digitalisation
In Q1, Tryg's first fully digitalised travel insurance claim was processed in Norway. Following this, many other customers have benefitted from this fully automated solution which now both covers travel and contents insurance. In Q2, approximately 20% of all travel claims in Norway were processed as fully automated claims.
In Q2, new digital solutions have been developed for motor and contents products, especially in Norway. It is now possible for customers to extend or reduce coverage as well as cancel their insurance. In Denmark, solutions for a big affinity agreement were developed.
E-protect
Tryg was among the first companies to develop a cyber insurance for small and medium-sized companies and there have been a high interest for Tryg's E-protect product. In Q1, Tryg sold approximately 700 insurance policies and at the end of Q2, Tryg had sold approximately 3,500 insurance policies.

Sales are effected via call centres, the Internet, Tryg Forsikring's own agents, franchisees (Norway), interest organisations, car dealers, estate agents and Nordea branches.

H1 2017 results
The technical result was DKK 708m (DKK 591m). The combined ratio was 83.9 (86.2) with a lower claims level and a lower expense level.
Premium growth in local currencies was 1.0 (0.6), which represented an improvement of 0.4 percentage points compared to H1 2016 due to the positive development in the Danish part of Private.
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 69.8 (71.8), which represented an underlying improvement of 0.2 percentage points, due to the implemented price adjustments.
Results for Q2
Private posted a technical result of DKK 440m (DKK 393m) and a combined ratio of 79.7 (81.6). The results are positively affected by Tryg's efficiency programme and a low level of weather claims. Private reported a 0.5% improvement in the underlying claims ratio following a few quarters of deterioration and a stabilisation in Q1.
Premiums
Gross premium income rose by 1.4% (0.3%) when measured in local currencies. The positive development continued in the Danish part of Private with premium growth of more than 3% due to a combination of price adjustments, an increasing number of customers with three or more products, a high sales level of especially packages and continued high retention levels, but also a low level of sales from the banking channel. In the Norwegian part of Private, premiums were down 1.2%, which was an improvement from Q1 2017. The main explanation is still a reduction of the portfolio throughout 2016 and somewhat higher churn in the quarter. In Q2 2017, TryghedsGruppen communicated to the Danish
Tryg Forsikring, Half-year report 2017, page 5
customers that they will receive a bonus, which is expected to have a positive impact on customer loyalty.
The retention rate was 89.8 (90.0) for the Danish part of the business. In Norway, the retention rate was 85.5 (86.5), which both reflects a market trend and implemented price adjustments in 2017.
Claims
The gross claims ratio was 63.8 (65.9). The claims ratio, net of ceded business, constituted 65.8 (67.1) and was influenced by a lower level of weather claims, but also a higher level of run-off gains of 3.6 (3.3). The underlying claims improved by 0.5 percentage points as a result of the impact of the efficiency programme, pricing adjustments and claims reduction initiatives.
Expenses
The expense ratio for Private was 13.9 (14.5), which represents a satisfactory development and one that supports Tryg's target of an expense ratio at or below 14 in 2017. The development was supported by the efficiency initiatives in Norway in 2016 and the positive premium development in Denmark.
The number of employees totalled 969 at the end of the quarter against 929 at the end of 2016, reflecting an increase of 12 employees due to the OBOS acquisition. There was a reduction in Norway due to the structural initiatives in 2016 and an increase in Denmark primarily due to the hiring of trainees in the integrated customer and claims handling function.

Commercial
Commercial encompasses the sale of insurance products to small and medium-sized businesses in Denmark and Norway. Sales are effected via Tryg Forsikring's own sales force, brokers, franchisees (Norway), customer centres as well as group agreements. The business area accounts for 22% of the Group's total premium income.

H1 2017 results
The technical result was DKK 354m (DKK 387m). The combined ratio was 81.5 (80.0) with a higher claims level and a slightly higher expense level.
Premium growth in local currencies was negative by 2.3 (-0.5), which was due to a combination of a lower retention level which was not compensated by a higher sales level. In general, the level between sales and the churn level is not satisfactory.
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 63.8 (62.5), which represented a higher level of weather claims and large claims, a positive effect from claims initiatives and price adjustments as well as a higher level of medium-sized claims.
Results for Q2
Commercial posted a technical result of DKK 171m (DKK 172m) and a combined ratio of 81.9 (82.4). The results are negatively impacted by a higher level of weather claims and large claims, but also a much higher run-off result.
Premiums
Gross premium income totalled DKK 949m (DKK 977m), which represents a 2.8% decline when measured in local currencies. The Danish part of Commercial reported a decline of 3.3% against an increase of 1.9% in Q2 2016, which, however, was due to regulations on some larger affinity agreements. In Norway, premiums dropped by 1.7% against a drop of -3.2% in Q2 2016. This improved development reflects that the acquisition of OBOS was effectuated from June with a premium income of NOK 10m for this month. In general, the underlying trend for premium growth was more positive in this quarter
Tryg Forsikring, Half-year report 2017, page 7
compared to previous quarters.
The retention rate for Denmark was more or less unchanged, while there was a drop in Norway from 87.5 to 86.8. Sales were slightly higher in both Denmark and Norway. In Denmark, the higher sales level was mainly related to the Commercial customer centre. The higher level in Norway was due to the increase in distribution power, especially in the franchise channel due to the restructuring of Commercial Norway in 2016, but also a high sales level in the Commercial customer centre.
Claims
The gross claims ratio was 62.9 (64.1), and the claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 64.3 (64.8). The lower level is composed of a higher level of run-off and a much higher level of weather claims and large claims. The claims level was positively affected by the claims efficiency programme and price adjustments, but we also saw a slightly higher level of medium-sized claims.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 17.6 (17.6), which is a too high level. The expense level is composed of expense initiatives, especially in the Norwegian part of Commercial, but also reflects the drop in top line growth. In Denmark, focus is on developing straight through processes for the main products, similar to most private products, which is expected to have a positive impact on the expense level.
At the end of Q2 2017, Commercial had 490 employees, up from 474 at the end of Q4 2016, primarily due to five employees from the acquisition of OBOS and employment of trainees in Commercial Denmark.
Tryg Forsikring, Half-year report 2017, page 8

H1 2017 results
The technical result was DKK 235m (DKK 295m). The combined ratio was 87.8 (83.9), and the lower level was primarily due to a lower run-off level.
Premiums increased by 3.3 (-2.9) in local currencies, mainly due to the positive development for the guarantee business and fronting business in Sweden. In Denmark and Norway, there was a slight net increase in the portfolio based on price adjustments and loss of customers.
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 77.5 (72.7), and the higher level was, as mentioned above, primarily due to a lower run-off level.
Results for Q2
The technical result amounted to DKK 156m (DKK 156m), and the combined ratio stood at 83.6 (83.1). The unchanged technical result is primarily due to a lower level of large claims and a similar lower level of run-off gains.
The guarantee business, Tryg Garanti, which is part of Corporate and has a market leading position, continues to develop positively. In Q2, the premium growth was DKK 15m – a growth of 15% – and the combined ratio was 65, reflecting a very strong profitability.
Premiums
Gross premium income totalled DKK 942m (DKK 921m), an increase of 3.2% when measured in local
Tryg Forsikring, Half-year report 2017, page 9
currencies. The development is attributable to a good renewal process in Denmark, where customers appreciate TryghedsGruppen’s bonus model and, as mentioned, also a continued good development for the guarantee business. In Norway, there was a drop in premiums, reflecting an increase in prices and the loss of a number of large customers due to the price increases. In Sweden, growth was 20%, mainly due to a continued increase in the number of fronting agreements with very low risk. In general, the underlying premium trend, excluding the guarantee business, is negative due to implemented initiatives and the current market environment combined with Tryg’s focus on profitability.
Claims
The gross claims ratio stood at 59.2 (60.6), while the claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 73.1 (72.2). The total level of large claims and weather claims was somewhat lower than last year, but at the same time, the run-off level was significantly lower.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 10.5 (10.9) – an improvement that underpins the corporate area’s strong focus on efficiency.
The number of employees in Corporate stood at 250 against 257 at the end of 2016. The reduction of seven employees was mainly due to a reduction in the Danish part of Corporate.
Tryg Forsikring, Half-year report 2017, page 10

H1 2017 results
The technical result was DKK 81m (DKK 59m). The combined ratio was 88.2 (90.3). The higher result was due to the inclusion of the child insurance portfolio.
Premiums increased by 17.6% (-1.6%) in local currencies, which primarily reflects the acquisition of the child insurance portfolio, but also the fact that the Swedish business has managed to compensate for the loss of some larger agreements in recent years.
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 70.5 (70.2), which was affected by a lower run-off level but at the same time reflected an improved underlying claims level.
Results for Q2
Sweden posted a technical result of DKK 43m (DKK 49m) and a combined ratio of 88.3 (85.2). The weaker result can primarily be ascribed to a much lower run-off level. There was an underlying improvement in the claims level which can partly be ascribed to the inclusion of the profitable child insurance portfolio acquired from Skandia.
Premiums
Premium income totalled DKK 383m (DKK 338m), equating to an increase of 18.1% when measured in local currencies. The premium income excluding the child insurance portfolio was somewhat unchanged.
Tryg Forsikring, Half-year report 2017, page 11
Claims
The gross claims ratio totalled 70.5 (65.7), while the claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 71.3 (66.0). The higher claims level was due to the lower run-off level, but was positively affected by the acquisition of the profitable child insurance portfolio and the implemented price adjustments to improve profitability.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 17.0 (19.2), which is a positive development, also considering the integration of the child insurance portfolio.
The number of employees was 331 at the end of the quarter, which was a reduction of six employees compared to year-end 2016.

H1 2017 results
The return of Tryg's investment activities totalled DKK 358m in H1 2017. The result is composed of a return of DKK 336m on the free portfolio, a return of DKK 176m on the match portfolio and other income and expenses of DKK -154m. Key drivers of the performance have been a strong development in equity markets (equities returned $8.3\%$ in H1) but also a good performance of emerging market debt and corporate bonds.

The overall economic developments in Denmark and Norway remain broadly positive. The Danish economy is expected to grow 1.6%¹ in 2017 following growth of 1.1% in 2016. Unemployment is expected to fall from 4.2% in 2016 to 4.1% in 2017 before falling to 3.9% in 2018, while house prices are likely to continue to rise, driven by historically low interest rates and rising employment. Car sales remain dominated by small cars as car tax in Denmark remains one of the highest in the world. Total car sales were down 1.2%² in Q2 2017 on Q2 2016.
The Norwegian economy bottomed out in 2016 with GDP (mainland) growth of 0.8% and it is expected to post improved growth of 1.8% in 2017. The unemployment rate is likely to improve from 4.7% in 2016 to 4.4% in 2017. The drop in oil investments is likely to be half of what it was in 2016 (-7% compared to -14% approximately) and is being offset by strong growth in construction activity driven by new housing starts and new commercial construction activity. As mentioned previously, the turbulence in the oil sector has far-reaching implications in Norway. Tryg is mostly impacted indirectly as some industries serving the oil sector are feeling the current difficult situation. The direct impact is minimal due to Tryg's very limited exposure to the oil sector. The economic troubles in Norway are mostly affecting the overall level of premiums in our Norwegian business, which remains under some pressure. Car sales in Norway were down 2.3%³.
On 14 February 2017, Tryg announced the acquisition of OBOS Forsikring in Norway, which has a portfolio of approximately NOK 170m (approximately DKK 140m). OBOS Forsikring was included by one month in Tryg Forsikring's H1 report. TryghedsGruppen's member bonus scheme (to be paid in September) is also expected to support the long-term development in premium income.
The investment portfolio is divided into a match portfolio corresponding to the technical provisions, and a free portfolio which roughly corresponds to shareholders' equity. The objective is for the return on the match portfolio and changes in the technical provisions due to interest rate changes to be neutral when taken together.
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 expenses on the subordinated loans.

There has been a gradual lowering of corporate tax rates in Denmark, Norway and Sweden in recent years. In Denmark, the tax rate is expected to be 22% in 2017. In Norway, the tax rate is expected to be 25%, and in Sweden 22%. When calculating the total tax payable, it has to be remembered that gains and losses on shares are not taxed in Norway. All in all, this causes the expected tax payable for 2017 to be around 22-23%.

The possible payment of dividend is influenced by contingency fund provisions of DKK 1,611m (DKK 1,774m as at 31 December 2016). The contingency fund provisions can be used to cover losses in connection with the settlement of insurance provisions or otherwise for the benefit of the insured.

2 Acquisition of activities
In March 2017 Tryg Forsikring and OBOS BBL signed an agreement whereby Tryg Forsikring acquired OBOS Forsikring AS. The agreement was approved by the Danish and Norwegian FSA end of May and implemented 1 June 2017. The Acquisition affects the financial statement from 1 June 2017:
Net assets acquired
| Intangible assets | 51 |
|---|---|
| Financial assets | 121 |
| Total reinsurance of provisions | 49 |
| Receivables, other assets and accrued income | 113 |
| Liabilities | |
| Provisions for insurance contracts | 143 |
| Debt, accruals and deferred income | 74 |
| Net assets acquired | 117 |
| hereof cash | 13 |
| Purchase price | 168 |
| Purchase price in cash | 155 |
| Goodwill | 51 |
Tryg Forsikring will 1st January 2018 acquire FDM's insurance portfolio from LB Forsikring. The acquisition have no effect to the financial statement in H1 2017.
3 Related parties
In H1 2017 Tryg Forsikring A/S paid Tryg A/S DKK 2,700m in dividends (in H1 2016 Tryg Forsikring A/S paid Tryg A/S DKK 1,450m in dividends). In H1 2017 Respons Inkasso AS DKK 1m dividend to Tryg Forsikring A/S. (in H1 2016 Thunesvei 2 AS, Vesta Eiendom AS, Respons Inkasso AS and Tryg Garantiforsikring A/S paid DKK 5m, DKK 23m, DKK 1m and DKK 290m in dividends to Tryg Forsikring A/S).
There have been no other material transactions with related parties.
4 Contingent Liabilities
In May 2016, Tryg Forsikring received notice of an action from Finansforbundet in Norway (the Finance Sector Union of Norway) on behalf of a group of pensioners. The action concerned the adjustment in the pension schemes of Norwegian employees made in 2014. Tryg Forsikring has now received the actual lawsuit. According to Tryg Forsikring's preliminary calculations, the claim will not exceed a maximum of approximately DKK 0.3bn after tax for the persons affected by the adjustment. Tryg Forsikring and its legal advisor does not agree that the adjustment was wrongful and consider the claim uncertain. Consequently, Tryg Forsikring expects an action to be resolved in court and does not expect a ruling to be made for the next 2 years.
Therefore the claim is not recognised as a liability in the financial statement, but recognised as contingent liability.
5 Accounting policies
Tryg Forsikring's interim report for H1 2017 report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report of the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the executive order issued by the Danish FSA's regulations on financial reports for insurance companies and transverse pension funds.
The application of IAS 34 means that the report is limited relative to the presentation of a full annual report and that the valuation principles are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Changes in accounting policies
There have been no changes to the accounting policies or estimates in H1 2017.
