Interim report Q2 and H1 2017 | Tryg A/S
Tryg's results
Tryg reported a profit before tax of DKK 915m (DKK 934m). The result was primarily driven by a technical result of DKK 810m (DKK 770m) and a net investment income of DKK 131m (DKK 181m). The technical result was positively impacted by a lower level of large claims compared to Q2 2016 while weather claims were at a similar level and the internal efficiency programme delivered savings of DKK 85m. Premium growth of 2.0% in local currencies against a decline in Q2 2016. The underlying claims ratio for Private improved by 0.5% while the underlying claims ratio for the Group improved by 0.1%. The investment return was DKK 131m (DKK 181m), driven primarily by favourable equity markets. Tryg will pay out a quarterly dividend of DKK 1.60 per share based on the overall results, Tryg's dividend policy and a strong solvency ratio of 209.
The combined ratio was 81.7 (82.6). Large claims and weather claims experience was favourable while run-offs were lower than in Q2 2016. The private underlying claims ratio, adjusted for weather claims and large claims, run-off and discount rate (to discount the claims provision) was 0.5% better than in Q2 2016, showing that profitability is improving. The group underlying claims ratio was 0.1% better than in Q2 2016 although profitability in Corporate remains under pressure. Tryg is actively reducing exposure to unprofitable segments and continues to expect an improvement in the underlying claims ratio for the full year 2017.
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) fell slightly to 22 (23), a development driven by a drop in Norway for both Private and Commercial, whereas there was an improvement in the Danish business. The share of private customers with three or more products went up to 58.1% (56.9%) with a positive development in both Denmark and Norway. For Denmark, the number of customers with three or more products was 59.5% – an improvement of almost 3 percentage points since Tryg started reporting on this figure in the beginning of 2015.
Looking at the customer targets, Tryg believes the NPS target will be met, while it is unlikely that the retention target will be achieved. For the target of customers with three or more products, Tryg is now experiencing good momentum where it is realistic to achieve the target for Denmark but not for the Group as a whole.
TryghedsGruppen, Tryg's majority shareholder, announced a member bonus in 2017 equivalent to 8% of premiums paid for 2016. The bonus should be seen in connection with Tryg's dividend, and will be paid to Tryg's Danish customers in September. There are ongoing discussions with the tax authorities to seek a more favourable treatment of the member bonus. Tryg continues to believe that the bonus scheme will be a competitive advantage in the long term.
The investment return totalled DKK 131m (DKK 181m) which was below the Q2 2016 level but well above normal expectations. The free portfolio generated a high return of DKK 124m, driven mainly by equity investments, while the match portfolio also produced a good result of DKK 78m driven primarily by narrowing Nordic covered bond spreads ('performance' component). The process of re-investing the proceeds from the properties sale in more diversified property exposure continues. Properties represented 13% of the free portfolio at the end of Q2 against a targeted property allocation of 20% which is likely to be reached towards year-end. Apart from that, asset allocation has remained broadly unchanged as Tryg continues to pursue a low-risk investment strategy.
Premiums
Gross premium income amounted to DKK 4,441m (DKK 4,379m), corresponding to a growth of 2.0% in local currencies.
Private lines grew by 1.4% with the Danish business growing more than 3%, while the Norwegian business developed negatively.
Commercial lines declined by 2.8% driven by a more pronounced fall in the Danish segment which reflected price initiatives introduced to improve profitability, but also the fact that Commercial still has to work on striking a better balance between the inflow and outflow of customers. The fall was less pronounced in Norway, helped, among other things, by the inclusion of the commercial part of the OBOS portfolio for the month of June. The underlying growth trend for both Denmark and Norway, however, has been more positive in Q2 compared to previous quarters.
Customer targets

Contents – Management's review
Interim report Q2 and H1 2017 | Tryg A/S | 5
Corporate lines were up 3.2%. The growth was driven by a positive renewal season in Denmark and a positive development in the guarantee business, a slight reduction in Norway and a new fronting agreement in Sweden. The underlying growth trend is lower than the reported growth for Q2.
In Private Sweden, premiums were up some 18%, including the acquisition of the Skandia child insurance portfolio. Premiums were virtually flat excluding the acquisition.
The underlying claims ratio for Private improved 0.5% and for the Group 0.1% in Q2 2017
Claims
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 67.4% (67.6%). The private underlying claims ratio excluding run-offs, large claims, weather claims and discounting was 68.5%, some 0.5% better than the corresponding quarter in 2016. The group underlying claims ratio was 71.3%, 0.1% better than the corresponding quarter in 2016. Tryg has announced price adjustments of 3% for 2017 following a similar move in 2016. These are expected to produce an improvement in the underlying claims ratio for the full year 2017.

Tryg remains focused on developments in the motor insurance portfolio and more specifically an increase in the number of accidents seen in 2015 and 2016. This development is continuing in 2017 (January to May) although monthly statistics are very volatile. Motor insurance remains a profitable business for Tryg, but recent negative developments need to be monitored closely to ensure a close balance between claims inflation and pricing trends.
In Scandinavia, the spring weather was generally mild, apart from a few heavy rain showers. Weather claims accounted for 0.9% of the claims ratio which is slightly below normal expectations for the quarter. Large claims weighed negatively at 1.3% (2.5%) of the claims ratio. The level of large claims was lower compared to an average quarter.
The claims-related part of the efficiency programme is progressing according to plan, and Q2 saw the realisation of efficiency increases of DKK 55m out of a target figure of DKK 250m for 2017. Initiatives include new agreements with the largest suppliers of building and damage control in Norway, and in Denmark, all customers with a car glass claim will be referred directly to the company responsible for handling this type of claims.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 14.3 (15.0). Insurance operating expenses were down slightly, and an improved top line drove the overall positive development. The efficiency programme is progressing according to plan and improved results by DKK 30m in Q2 out of a target of DKK 125m for 2017.
Tryg is strongly focused on achieving its expense ratio target of 14.0 in 2017. Many initiatives were planned and implemented in 2016 and despite some headwind, like the introduction of a new finance tax in Norway, Tryg remains confident about achieving the target.
The number of employees was 3,320 at the end of Q2 against 3,264 at the end of 2016. The acquisition of OBOS impacted the figure by 24 employees in Q2. In 2017, the number of employees is likely to increase slightly driven by the hiring of new trainees in the integrated customer and claims handling functions.
Investment return
The investment income was DKK 131m (DKK 181m), boosted primarily by positive equity markets. Both the free portfolio and the match portfolio generated overall good returns. The free portfolio produced a result of DKK 124m based on a return on equities of just below 3%, while investment-grade corporate bonds (a small asset class for Tryg) also produced good returns.
The match portfolio realised a result of DKK 78m driven by a slightly negative 'regulatory deviation' and pretty robust 'performance'. The positive performance was driven by narrowing Nordic covered bond spreads.
Profit before and after tax
The profit before tax was DKK 915m (DKK 934m), and the profit after tax and discontinued business was DKK 714m (DKK 734m). The overall tax item was DKK 202m (DKK 200m), resulting in a tax rate of 22%.
Tryg pays out a Q2 dividend of DKK 1.60 per share on 14 July 2017
Dividend and capital
Tryg will pay a quarterly dividend of DKK 1.60 per share corresponding to DKK 452m. The dividend is supported by the overall results, our ambition to grow the annual nominal dividend and a robust solvency ratio of 209 after deducting the Q2 2017 dividend. Tryg reported a solvency ratio of 202 at the end of Q1. The difference between the Q2 net profit and the dividend is the primary driver of the slightly higher own funds, while the solvency capital requirement fell by approximately DKK 150m driven primarily by a lower market risk following a reduced equity exposure. Actual property exposure in the free portfolio is still below target which has a positive impact on the solvency capital requirement (SCR) of approximately DKK 100m.

Interim report Q2 and H1 2017 | Tryg A/S | 6
Tryg'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. It is important to note that the spread risk sensitivity assumes a widening of 100 basis points across the entire fixed income book. Lower sensitivities are seen towards equity markets and interest rate movements. In April, EIOPA (European Insurance and Occupational Pension Authority) announced a new ultimate forward rate (UFR) level at 3.45% compared to previously 4.20%. The cumulative negative impact for Tryg's own funds (in 2022) will be approximately DKK 40m, hence very limited.
SFCR publication
Tryg was among the first European insurers to publish its Solvency Financial Condition Report (SFCR) 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 solvency capital requirement (SCR) components as at Q4 2016. There was a lot of industry attention around the publication of the SFCR with a clear focus on capital quality, including the use of transitional measures and the impact of long-term guarantee measures. Tryg's solvency position does not include any benefit from the measures above as the company runs a non-life insurance business with a relatively short duration of the liabilities (less than four years).

Update on pension obligations in Norway
In May 2016, Tryg 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 has now received the actual lawsuit. According to Tryg's calculation which is unchanged from previous communication in the company announcement of 19 May 2016, 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 the action to be resolved in court and does not expect a ruling to be made for the next two years.
H1 2017 results
Tryg reported a profit before tax of DKK 1,694m (DKK 1,497m) and a profit after tax of DKK 1,319m (1,179m). 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. Premium growth was 1.8% driven primarily by Private.
In Q2, 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.

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 per 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 a company specialised within this field. The company's customers, the disabled, each month receive an invoice including both salaries and insurance for the disabled and the assistant. 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 was 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. 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 in Norway. It is now possible for customers to extend or reduce coverage as well as cancel their insurance online. In Denmark, improved online solutions for a big affinity agreement were developed. In Denmark, Tryg also launched a robot which handles the majority of all windscreen payments. We are working on developing similar solutions for other products and introducing the use of robotics in some processes.
Cyber insurance
Tryg was among the first companies to develop a cyber insurance for small and medium-sized companies and there has been considerable interest in Tryg's E-protect product (cyber insurance). In Q1, Tryg sold approximately 700 insurance policies and at the end of Q2, Tryg had sold approximately 3,500 insurance policies.

Private
Financial highlights Q2 2017
- Technical result of DKK 440m (DKK 393m)
- Combined ratio of 79.7 (81.6)
- Premium growth of 1.4 (0.3)
Results
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%, an improvement from Q1 2017. The main explanation is still a reduced portfolio throughout 2016 and somewhat higher churn in the quarter. In Q2, TryghedsGruppen communicated to the Danish 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 was 13.9 (14.5) representing a satisfactory development and supporting 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.
The number of employees was 969 against 929 at the end of 2016, reflecting an increase of 12 employees due to the OBOS acquisition. There was a reduction in Norway from the structural initiatives in 2016 and an increase in Denmark primarily due to hiring trainees in the integrated customer and claims handling function.
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 expense level. Premium growth was 1.0 (0.6) in local currencies, an improvement of 0.4 percentage points compared to H1 2016 due to the positive development in Private Denmark.
Private encompasses the sale of insurance products to private customers in Denmark and Norway. Sales are effected via call centres, the Internet, Tryg's own agents, franchisees (Norway), interest organisations, car dealers, estate agents and Nordea branches. The business area accounts for 49% of the Group's total premium income.
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 69.8 (71.8), representing an underlying improvement of 0.2 percentage points, due to the implemented price adjustments.

Commercial
Financial highlights Q2 2017
- Technical result of DKK 171m (DKK 172m)
- Combined ratio of 81.9 (82.4)
- Premium growth of -2.8 (0.4)
Results
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), a 2.8% decline in local currencies. Commercial Denmark 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 -3.2% in Q2 2016. This improved development reflects the fact that the acquisition of OBOS was implemented from June with a premium income of NOK 10m for the month. In general, the underlying premium growth trend was more positive in Q2 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 run-off level 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 too high. The expense ratio 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. Commercial had 490 employees, up from 474 at the end of 2016, primarily due to five employees from the acquisition of OBOS and employment of trainees in Commercial Denmark.
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 dropped by 2.3 (-0.5) in local currencies, due to 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) representing a higher level of weather claims and large claims, a positive effect from claims initiatives and price adjustments and a higher level of medium-sized claims.
Commercial encompasses the sale of insurance products to small and medium-sized businesses in Denmark and Norway. Sales are effected by Tryg's own sales force, brokers, franchisees (Norway) and customer centres, and under group agreements. The business area accounts for 23% of the Group's total premium income.

Corporate
Financial highlights Q2 2017
- Technical result of DKK 156m (DKK 156m)
- Combined ratio of 83.6 (83.1)
- Premium growth of 3.2 (-3.7)
Results
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 currencies. The development is attributable to a good renewal process in Denmark, where customers have come to appreciate Trygheds-Gruppen'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.
H1 2017 results
The technical result was DKK 235m (DKK 295m). The combined ratio was 87.8 (83.9), and the higher 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.

Sweden
Financial highlights Q2 2017
- Technical result of DKK 43m (DKK 49m)
- Combined ratio of 88.3 (85.2)
- Premium growth of 18.1 (-1.8)
Results
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.
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 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.
Sweden comprises the sale of insurance products to private customers under the 'Moderna' brand. Moreover, insurance is sold under the brands 'Atlantica', 'Bilsport & MC', 'Securator' and 'Moderna Djurförsäkringar'. Sales take place through its own sales force, call centres, intermediaries and the Internet. The business area accounts for 7% of the Group's total premium income.

Investment activities
Financial highlights Q2 2017
- Strong investment return of DKK 131m (DKK 181m)
- Free portfolio benefitted from positive equity markets, but emerging-market debt and high-yield bonds (small asset classes for Tryg) also posted strong returns
- Match portfolio result boosted by a good performance result driven by narrowing covered bond spreads
Q2 2017 was a strong quarter for Tryg's investment activities. The investment result totalled DKK 131m (DKK 181m), which was the result of a return of DKK 124m (DKK 122m) on the free portfolio, a return of DKK 78m (DKK 125m) on the match portfolio and other financial income and expenses of DKK -71m (DKK -66m).
The total market value of Tryg's investment portfolio was DKK 41bn (DKK 40.6bn) at the end of June 2017. The investment portfolio consists of a match portfolio of DKK 29bn and a free portfolio of DKK 12.0bn. The match portfolio is composed of
fixed-income assets that match the Group's insurance liabilities, so that fluctuations resulting from interest rate changes are offset to the greatest possible extent. The free portfolio represents the Group's net asset value, which is predominantly invested in fixed-income securities with a short duration, but also in equities and properties.
Free portfolio
In Q2, financial markets continued the positive trend seen after the US presidential election. The prolonged level of very low interest rates supported equities as an asset class and policy ideas such as a US fiscal stimulus, and a cut to US corporate tax has been supporting market developments in general. At the other end, it is noteworthy that the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility in equity markets, hit the lowest level of the last ten years during June 2017. Tryg's equity portfolio posted a return of DKK 65m (DKK 6m) or just below 3%, while overall the free portfolio was also helped by good returns on investment grade corporate bonds (2.2% in the quarter) and, to a smaller extent, emerging-market debt (a small asset class for Tryg). Emerging-market debt (sovereign debt of emerging-market countries) and high-yield cor

operate bonds totalled approximately DKK 1.4bn of investments at the end of Q2, equating to around 3% of total investments. The return on the investment property portfolio was DKK 11m (DKK 24m) or 0.7%. Tryg is still in the process of reinvesting
the proceeds from the property sales announced in December 2016. The targeted property allocation is not likely to be reached until Q4 2017. All in all, the return on the free portfolio was DKK 124m or 1.0% in Q2.

Match portfolio
The result of the match portfolio is the difference between the return on the match portfolio and the amount transferred to the insurance business. The result can be split into a 'regulatory deviation' and a 'performance result'. The 'performance' result was strong at DKK 49m (DKK 56m) as Nordic covered bond spreads – mostly Swedish and Norwegian covered bonds – narrowed against the swap curve. During Q2, covered bond spreads narrowed approximately 10 basis points in Norway and Sweden and a more modest 5 basis points in Denmark. The 'regulatory' deviation also posted a positive result of DKK 29m (DKK 69m) as the yield difference between Danish and Euro swap rates decreased by around 2 basis points and boosted the overall return. Tryg's IR team published a newsletter in August 2016 focusing on how to model the investment income line. The newsletter is available at Tryg.com
Other financial income and expenses
Other financial income and expenses totalled DKK -71m (DKK -66m). This item consists of a number of elements, the largest being the expenses from hedging the foreign currency exposure of Tryg's equity, as well as expenses associated with Tryg's subordinated debt.
H1 2017 results
The return on Tryg's investment activities totalled DKK 354m 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 -158m. Key drivers of the performance were a strong development in equity markets (equities returned 8.3% in H1) but also a good performance of emerging-market debt and corporate bonds.

Tryg was among the first companies to develop cyber insurance for small and medium-sized companies and interest has been considerable. At the end of Q2, Tryg had sold approximately 3,500 insurance policies.

Capital
The solvency ratio (based on Tryq's partial internal model) was 209 at the end of Q2, an increased level compared to the 202 reported at the end of Q1. Own funds were boosted primarily by the difference in the reported net profit of DKK 714m and the announced dividend of DKK 452m (DKK 1.6 per share). The OBOS acquisition was included in the solvency figures with an overall impact of just above DKK 100m. Property allocation in the free portfolio remains slightly below the targeted level which has a positive impact on the solvency ratio (via a reduced market risk). This situation is temporary and will be fully reversed in the next few quarters. Finally, equity exposure was reduced and this has a positive impact on the solvency capital requirement (SCR) via a reduced market risk.
Own funds
Own funds totalled DKK 10,058m at the end of Q2 2017 against DKK 10,037m at the end of Q1. Own funds were positively impacted by the net profit for the quarter and negatively impacted by the announced quarterly dividend. Tryq's own funds are predominantly made up of shareholders' equity and subordinated loans.
Solvency capital requirement
Tryq calculates the individual solvency requirement based on a partial internal model in accordance with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority's Executive Order on Solvency and Operating Plans for Insurance Companies. The model is based on the structure of the standard model. Tryq is using an internal model to evaluate insurance risks, while other risks are calculated using the standard model components.
The solvency capital requirement calculated using the partial internal model was DKK 4,821m in Q2 2017 compared to DKK 4,975m in Q1 2017. The fall was driven primarily by a lower market risk following a reduced equity exposure. The solvency capital requirement based on the standard formula was DKK 5,887m in Q2 2017 compared to DKK 6,181m in Q1 2017.
Ultimate forward rate (UFR) change
During the spring, EIOPA (European Insurance and Occupational Pension Authority) announced the revised ultimate forward rate (UFR) that insurance companies must use to discount their liabilities. As mentioned previously, this is an issue primarily for life insurers with very long-term liabilities, while it is not a significant issue for non-life insurers. The expected UFR will move from the current 4.20% level to 3.45% in 2022. There will be a gradual annual change. The aggregated (in 2022) negative impact for Tryq's own funds is approximately DKK 40m, hence very limited.
Solvency financial condition report (SFCR)
Tryq 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 with a clear focus on capital quality, including the use of transitional measures and the impact of long-term guarantee measures.
Tryq'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).
Rating
Tryq has an 'A1' (stable outlook) insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) from Moody's. The rating agency highlights Tryq's strong position in the Nordic P&C market, robust profitability, very good asset quality and relatively low financial leverage. Moody's also assigned an 'A3' rating to Tryq's subordinated debt.

Outlook
Financial targets 2017
- Return on equity of ≥21% after tax
- Combined ratio ≤87
- Expense ratio ≤14
The overall economic developments in Denmark and Norway remain broadly positive. The Danish economy is expected to grow 1.6%[a] 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%[b] 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%[c].
In the annual report 2016, Tryg communicated an expected growth in premium income between 0% and 2% for 2017. 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's Q2 report. TryghedsGruppen's member bonus scheme (to be paid in September) is also expected to support the long-term development in premium income.
Tryg has a solid reserving position underpinned by positive run-off results since 2005. At the Capital Markets Day in November 2014, Tryg announced that the run-off level in the period between 2015 and 2017 was likely to be higher than in the previous period. Tryg expects this to be the case until the end of 2017, after which we expect a gradual fall in the level of the run-off results towards a long-term level of 2.5-3.0%.
In 2017, weather claims and large claims, net of reinsurance, are expected to be DKK 500m and DKK 550m, respectively, which is unchanged relative to 2016.
At the Capital Markets Day in November 2014, Tryg announced the following 2017 financial targets: a return on equity of 21% or above after tax, a combined ratio at or below 87 and an expense ratio at or below 14. Tryg has therefore 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. Half of the targeted savings or DKK 375m pertain to 2017.
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 results in expected tax payable for 2017 of around 22-23%.

6 Acquisition of activities
In March 2017 Tryg and OBOS BBL signed an agreement whereby Tryg 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
Assets
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
Puchase price 168
Purchase price in cash 155
Goodwill 51
Tryg will 1st January 2018 acquire FDM's insurance portfolio from LB Forsikring. The acquisition has no effect to the financial statement in H1 2017.
7 Related parties
In H1 2017 Tryg Forsikring A/S paid Tryg A/S DKK 2,700m and Tryg A/S paid TryghedsGruppen smba DKK 1,440m in dividends (H1 2016 Tryg Forsikring A/S paid Tryg A/S DKK 1,450m and Tryg A/S paid TryghedsGruppen smba DKK 593m in dividends).
There have been no other material transactions with related parties.
8 Contingent Liabilities
In May 2016, Tryg 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 has now received the actual lawsuit. According to Tryg'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 and its legal advisor do not agree that the adjustment was wrongful and consider the claim uncertain. Consequently, Tryg 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.
9 Accounting policies
Tryg's interim report for H1 2017 report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the requirements of the NASDAQ Copenhagen for the presentation of financial statements of listed companies.
The interim report of the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the executive order issued by the Danish FSA on the presentation of financial reports by insurance companies and profession-specific 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 accounting estimates in H1 2017.
