Tryg's results
Tryg reported a Q2 technical result of DKK 1,144m (DKK 1,063m), driven by a positive top-line development, particularly in the Private and Commercial segments, good development in the core business and the continued delivery of Alka synergies. The underlying claims ratio for the Group improved by 0.8 percentage points, while it was flat for the Private segment. Both figures exclude the impact of COVID-19. The combined ratio was 81.0 (80.9). The investment return for the quarter was DKK -757m (DKK 541m), representing the sum of Tryg's stand-alone investment income, the cost of the currency hedge related to the purchase price of the acquisition and one month's of net profits from Codan Norway, Trygg-Hansa and 50% of Codan Denmark. The pre-tax result was DKK 274m (DKK 1,539m). A solvency ratio of 175, including the newly acquired businesses, was reported at the end of the quarter.
Results
Group premium growth was 4.7% (7.1% excluding bonus and premium rebates) in Q2, impacted primarily by a solid growth in the Private and Commercial segments in Denmark and Norway and a decrease in the Corporate segment following profitability actions. The Private segment reported a growth of 5.0%, or 8.6%, after adjusting for higher bonus and premium rebates compared to the corresponding period in 2020. The combined ratio was 81.0 (80.9), driving a technical result of DKK 1,144m (DKK 1,063m). Lower claims frequencies caused by COVID-19 had a net impact on the technical result of DKK 32m in Q2 2021. Since mid-April, governments
have gradually re-opened large sections of society and business in Denmark and Norway. Economic activity has consequently picked up substantially, resulting in a more normalised development of claims frequencies and of Tryg's business in general. Weather claims and large claims were below normal. The run-off result was 4.0% (3.6%). The Group's underlying claims ratio, adjusted for weather claims, large claims, run-offs, discount rate (to discount the claims provisions) and COVID-19 impact, was 0.8 percentage points better than in Q2 2020, as profitability initiatives in Commercial and particularly in Corporate are improving results. The Private underlying claims ratio was flat compared to Q2
2020 as growth remained robust in the quarter. Profitability is usually somewhat lower for "new business" compared to "old" business due to an approximately 3% higher claims frequency and higher distribution costs. When growth levels are very strong, the Private segment will therefore contribute less to the underlying development in the claims ratio. Commercial and especially Corporate, given Tryg's long-term initiatives, will ensure continuous improvement for the Group and more than offset developments in the Private segment. A higher share of premium income from the Private segment will be considered a key competitive advantage in the medium and long term. Tryg's Corporate business is actively increasing prices and reducing exposure to unprofitable segments and expects profitability to improve in 2021 and the following years.
Synergies from the Alka transaction amounted to DKK 35m (DKK 43m), of which DKK 9m stemmed from lower costs, DKK 14m from claims and DKK 12m from revenue initiatives.
Customer satisfaction increased from 83 in Q2 2020 to 84 in Q2 2021. For the sixth year in a row, TryghedsGruppen, Tryg's largest shareholder, decided to pay a member bonus. The bonus for 2021 is around DKK 700m, equivalent to 5% of premiums paid in 2020. The bonus should be seen in conjunction with Tryg's dividend and will be paid to Tryg and Alka customers in Denmark later this year. Awareness of the member bonus for non-customers was at a much higher level than the same period in 2020 and reached 43% in Q2 2021 (29%).
The total investment return amounted to DKK -757m (DKK 541m), driven primarily by a previously disclosed charge of approximately DKK 1.2bn for the currency hedge related to the RSA acquisition. Tryg's stand-alone investment result was DKK 253m supported by positive financial markets. The result for June* of Codan Norway, Trygg-Hansa and 50% of Codan Denmark, was DKK 181m and it is included in the investment income as "income from associates". Tryg's stand-alone investment result showed a free portfolio result of DKK 312m (DKK 519m), driven primarily by positive financial markets providing support to especially Tryg's equity, property and credit portfolios. The match portfolio also developed positively, driven primarily by narrowing covered bond spreads. The overall match portfolio result was DKK 19m (DKK 127m). Other financial income and expenses were DKK -78m (DKK -105m).
Tryg continues to pursue a relatively low-risk investment strategy with limited equity exposure and a conservative fixed-income profile (more than 90% of fixed-income securities are Nordic covered bonds). It should be remembered that Tryg marks to market both assets and liabilities (in accordance with Danish Financial Supervisory Authority rules), resulting in some P&L volatility in turbulent times. Other Nordic and European insurers, meanwhile, hold large parts of their fixed-income portfolios to maturity or book most

of the asset moves to shareholders' equity. Asset allocation remained broadly unchanged during the period.
Premiums
Gross premium income was DKK 6,057m (DKK 5,595m), corresponding to a 4.7% growth in local currencies (7.1% excluding bonus and premium rebates). The Private segment reported a growth of 5.0%, or 8.6% when adjusted for bonus and premium rebates, which reflects the high profitability of many of Tryg's partner agreements and also some periodisation between quarters. The year-to-date growth in the Private segment was around 8%, which better reflects the underlying growth in this segment. Private sales generally remained strong throughout the COVID-19 period. In Denmark, growth continued to be driven by a combination of cross-selling to existing customers, new customers from partner agreements, like FDM and Danske Bank, and continued strong sales from the latest sales channel – Tryg's independent agents. As expected, there was a reduction in the Nordea portfolio as a natural consequence of the termination of the Nordea agreement, which also impacted the retention rate negatively, though Tryg still saw a net positive inflow when looking at Danske Bank and Nordea combined. Private Norway again saw strong sales from partner agreements with OBOS and NITO, and continued to record strong sales via the car channel Enter. Commercial premiums increased by 8.1%, with Denmark characterised by high organic growth and Norway characterised by growth through price initiatives. In Denmark, sales grew by 8.5%, with a net inflow of customers, while growth in Commercial Norway was 7.0%, partly due to the acceptance of price hikes by larger Commercial customers and therefore not expected to be a sustainable growth level. The Corporate segment continued its effort to improve profitability by increasing prices; top-line development was broadly flat. The Corporate segment in Denmark and Sweden reported a reduction due to price hikes. The growth in Corporate Norway also reflects the fact that price increases in that part of the portfolio started earlier compared to Corporate Denmark and Corporate Sweden. Profitability is generally a key focus for all Corporate areas. Private Sweden saw a flat top-line development, impacted by price adjustments for main products and pet insurance.
Claims
The claims ratio net of ceded business was 66.9 (66.6). The underlying claims ratio for the Group, excluding large claims and weather claims, runoffs, discounting and COVID-19, was 69.1 (69.9), which was 0.8 percentage points better than the corresponding quarter in 2020. The Private underlying claims ratio was flat at 68.1. The gradual reopening of societies and businesses has brought a normalisation of claims frequencies. Tryg reported a modest positive impact of DKK 32m (net) in Q2 from COVID-19. In general, the biggest impact of the lower frequencies stemming from reduced economic activity related to COVID-19 was reported in the Private segment. This impact has been excluded from the calculation of the underlying claims ratio.
The current strong level of growth in the Private segment is likely to impact the underlying claims ratio somewhat, as new business does not initially have the same profitability as old business. The claims ratio for new business is approximately 3% higher than existing business, primarily because new customers generally have a higher propensity to claim on their insurance more frequently in the first couple of years. Meanwhile, profitability initiatives in
Interim report Q2 and H1 2021 | Tryg A/S | 7
the Corporate segment should help sustain the improvement in the Group's underlying claims ratio. Tryg continues to expect an improvement in the underlying claims ratio for FY 2021.
Tryg has been working with procurement for many years and the procurement team collaborates on an ongoing basis with the claims department to monitor and control claims inflation. Tryg has benefited from the tight focus on procurement in recent months, which have been characterised by increased prices for materials, especially (but not only) in the property segment. Tryg has a cooperative arrangement with craftsmen, and for example uses three-year agreements to keep costs under control. These agreements ensure a stable income for craftsmen and are highly appreciated by both parties. More broadly, Tryg's business is relatively short tail, with an average duration of four years, while the duration on most Private products is less than one year. Price adjustments can be introduced if needed while inflation levels continue to be very carefully monitored.
Scandinavia has been relatively cold and wet, during spring and early summer, and a couple of smaller cloudbursts have been registered. Weather claims amounted to DKK 57m (DKK 49m), or 0.9% (0.9%) of the claims ratio. Large claims impacted the claims ratio negatively by 1.7% (1.3%), which is below the expected quarterly average. For the full year, Tryg assumes large claims (with no quarterly seasonality) of DKK 550m and weather claims (mainly in Q1 and Q4) of DKK 600m.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 14.1 (14.3), influenced by the good top-line growth and tight cost control. At its CMD in 2017, Tryg announced an expense ratio target for 2020 of around 14, as IT investments and an increase in employee numbers (especially in the short term) would be broadly offset by continuous efficiency improvements, driven primarily by lower distribution costs. The expense ratio target of around 14 has also been repeated for 2021. Cost synergies of DKK 9m from the Alka transaction helped the expense ratio slightly.
Investment return
Investment income was DKK -757m (DKK 541m). The number includes Tryg's stand-alone investment result, and as previously disclosed, it also includes a charge of approximately DKK 1.2bn for the currency hedge related to the RSA acquisition. Furthermore, prior to the demerger, equity accounting will be used to include the results of the acquired business. The investment result also includes the June stand-alone result for Codan Norway, Trygg-Hansa and 50% of Codan Denmark, which amounted to DKK 181m.
Tryg's stand-alone investment result showed a free portfolio result of DKK 312m (DKK 519m), driven primarily by positive financial markets providing support to especially Tryg's equity, property and credit portfolios. Equities were up more than 5% in Q2 2021, while fixed-income returns benefitted from narrowing credit spreads. The match portfolio returned a positive DKK 19m (DKK 127m). Other financial income and expenses were DKK -78m (DKK -105m).
Profit before and after tax
Profit before tax was DKK 274m (DKK 1,539m), while the profit after tax and discontinued activities was DKK -63m (DKK 1,246m). The total tax bill was DKK 337m (DKK 293m), equating to a tax rate of 345% (after adjusting the pre-tax result for the result from RSA). The unusual tax rate is driven by the approximate DKK 1.2bn charge for the currency hedge, which is non-tax deductible, as communicated previously.
Dividend and solvency
Own funds were DKK 17,395m at the end of Q2, while the SCR was DKK 9,916m. Both Own funds and the solvency capital requirement now fully incorporate Codan Norway, Trygg-Hansa and the 50% Codan Denmark ownership. The solvency ratio at the end of Q2 was 175. Tryg will be paying a Q2 dividend of DKK 700m or DKK 1.07 per share. The quarterly dividend is expected to remain flat, even in a ‘transition' year like 2021, when various items -- such as equity accounting of acquired assets, transaction costs and restructuring costs -- will impact the P&L account and the balance sheet compared to a normal year. On 11 June 2021, Tryg announced the sale of Codan Denmark for a total consideration of DKK 12.6bn, of which 50% pertains to Tryg, and 50% pertains to Intact. Following the closing of this divestment, Tryg intends to carry out a share buyback programme of approximately DKK 5bn. The precise buyback amount will be communicated when all aspects of the transaction are settled. As previously indicated, TryghedsGruppen does not expect to participate in a share buyback to facilitate overall increased ownership in Tryg.
H1 2021 results
Premium growth of 5.5%, when measured in local currencies, was primarily driven by solid growth in the Private and Commercial segments. The H1 technical result was DKK 1,895m (DKK 1,735m) and therefore better than the prior-year period, driven by the good growth, continuous improvements in the core business and the delivery of Alka synergies. Investment return was broadly similar at DKK -414m (DKK -439m). H1 2020 saw the outbreak of COVID-19, which caused extreme disruption in capital markets in March, while the negative investment result in H1 2021 is as expected impacted by the charge of approximately DKK 1.2bn connected to the RSA related currency hedge booked in Q2. Tryg reported a profit before tax of DKK 1,296m (DKK 1,167m). The solvency ratio was 175 at the end of H1 (with both Own funds and solvency capital requirement including the impact of RSA Scandinavia). Tryg has paid a Q1 dividend per share of DKK 1.07 and will pay a Q2 dividend per share of DKK 1.07, bringing the total dividend per share for H1 to DKK 2.14.

Business initiatives
In 2021, Tryg continues to build on the foundation for customer and sales excellence established during the previous strategy period (2018-2020). Additionally, 2021 will see a strong focus on the B2B segment, and initiatives will be implemented to grow the Commercial segment and increase profitability in the Corporate segment.
Private
In Private, Tryg continues to build on the strong foundation of innovative capabilities, increasing 'tryghed' (peace of mind) for customers and increasing profitability.
In Q2, Tryg launched several new products to increase 'tryghed' for customers. In Norway, Tryg works with Housecar.no, offering comprehensive insurance and roadside assistance when renting recreational vehicles via the Housecar platform. In Denmark, an updated travel insurance has been launched with better coverage for domestic vacations and for COVID-19. All new products and services seek to address customers' immediate needs, making it easier to be 'tryg'.
Tryg Norway has continued to focus on up- and cross-selling. As the distribution of Enter car insurance has been very successful in the recent year, particular attention has been paid to cross-selling to Enter customers. As a result, the number of Enter customers with additional Tryg insurances has increased approximately 4% from Q2 2020 to Q2 2021. In Denmark, an initiative to utilise data to a greater extent when pricing new customers and adjusting prices based on claim history was implemented in Q2 2021 to maintain current profitability.
Business-to-business
In the business-to-business (B2B) segment, there is a dual focus on growth in small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) while also increasing profitability on large businesses. Both focus areas are equally important to ensuring a competitive position in the B2B segment in the Nordics. To underpin growth, initiatives related to the expansion of the product portfolio and increasing the quality and effectiveness of distribution have been prioritised. To ensure profitability, achieving the right balance between risk and price is a priority.
Tryg recently launched a health product for Commercial customers in Denmark. The health product is tailored to small enterprises that require basic health insurance with only the most frequently used coverage. The product includes services such as stress and psychological counselling, as well as access to the Tryg Health App, where customers, among other things, can access the services provided via their insurance and get advice on how to prevent health problems.
To further strengthen growth in the SME segment, a digital risk advisory portal for Commercial distribution has been launched in Q2 2021. The portal collects and displays customer data from a multitude of sources to support the effective and accurate risk assessment of existing and new customers.
Claims
The implementation of a new and more effective claims handling system continues in Tryg's Danish and Norwegian claims organisations. The new claims handling system boosts the quality of the claims handling process by ensuring that all the correct information is collected, and that the customer receives payment as fast as possible.
In Sweden, the digitalisation of the customer claim journey continues. The aim is to provide Moderna customers with the best and fastest possible experience when submitting claim requests. To help ensure this, Moderna has implemented Swish payments to Private customers in Moderna. In Q2 2021, almost 50% of all customers chose to receive their claims payment via Swish.
Corporate Responsibility
Tryg's Corporate Responsibility strategy 'Driving sustainable impact' supports Tryg's customers in the green transition by offering sustainable insurance products and sustainable claims handling. In order to provide this, Tryg favours working with sustainable suppliers. Tryg has begun to screen suppliers for compliance and performance. Tryg evaluates suppliers in relation to the minimum requirements described in Tryg's Supplier Code of Conduct and performs an ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) risk screening.
A practical example of how Tryg works with sustainability is the focus on 'smart repair', with a cooperative agreement between Tryg, repair shops and car importers now established in Denmark. The aim is to reduce plastic waste by repairing damaged bumpers instead of replacing them. In 2021, the target is to repair at least 25% of all bumper damage, with an estimated waste reduction of 15-20 tonnes of plastic. In Q2 2021, approximately 26% of all bumpers were repaired, putting Tryg on track to realise this target.
In Norway, Tryg has entered a cooperative agreement with 'Sykkelverket', whereby claims on high-end bicycles above NOK 20,000 are sent for valuation. The purpose is to repair rather than replace when possible and use the network of 'Sykkelverket' to obtain replacement bikes.
Alka
In connection with the acquisition of Alka, Tryg communicated a guidance of DKK 300m of synergies that are expected to be achieved in 2021. Synergy realisation remains on track with a further DKK 35m achieved in Q2 2021, bringing total synergies to approximately DKK 239m.
The synergies are accumulated from a large number of initiatives focusing on revenues, costs and claims. With respect to claims, some of the synergies are derived from continued savings from better supplier contracts, e.g. from renegotiating roadside assistance and building network contracts. Others are related to a more effective distribution setup, with best practices from Tryg's sales channels applied to Alka, which has positively affected revenues.

RSA Scandinavia H1 financial performance
Trygg-Hansa and Codan Norway reported a good H1 financial performance. Trygg-Hansa reported a top-line growth of approximately 3% and a technical result of DKK 1,052m (DKK 1,071m), two relatively large weather events impacted the technical result negatively during the spring while the run-off result was higher than the corresponding period. Profitability for the main products remained stable.
Codan Norway reported an H1 technical result of DKK 58m, tight expense control and a positive run-off development are the key drivers.
The June technical result ended up at DKK 163m for the combined Trygg-Hansa and Codan Norway.
The overall after tax net profit for June (Codan Norway, Trygg-Hansa and 50% of Codan Denmark) was DKK 181m, which is the amount included in Tryg's Q2 result (income from RSA Scandinavia).

Private
Private encompasses the sale of insurance products to private individuals in Denmark and Norway. Sales are distributed via multiple channels eg. call centres, the internet, Tryg's own agents, Alka (Denmark), franchisees (Norway), interest organisations, car dealers, estate agents and Danske Bank branches. The business area accounts for 57% of the Group's total premium income.
Results
Private reported a technical result of DKK 645m (DKK 607m) and a combined ratio of 81.1 (80.8). The higher premium level positively impacted the result, while the underlying claims ratio was flat, impacted by a lower level of run-offs and a similarly lower level of weather claims. The net impact of COVID-19 in the Private segment was positive in the quarter at 0.8% (1.3%) of the combined ratio.
Premiums
Gross premium income increased by 5.0% (10.0%), impacted by a much higher level of bonus and premium rebates due to increased profitability in partner agreements. Premium growth, excluding bonus and premium rebates, was 8.6%. Private Denmark continued to grow on the back of high sales levels for partner agreements (FDM and Danske Bank), cross-selling to existing customers and a high level of sales from independent sales agents. Private Norway reported increased growth in local currency, positively impacted further by strong sales to OBOS and
NITO customers and the car sales channel Enter. The retention rate was 90.1 (90.9) for Denmark, which was a favourable development compared to previous quarters, when Tryg as expected reported higher churn in the Nordea portfolio due to the cancellation of this agreement. The drop in the Nordea portfolio was more than offset by sales to Danske Bank customers. In Norway, the retention rate developed favourably, reaching 87.9 (87.8).
Claims
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 67.5 (67.1), COVID-19 impacted the figures positively by 0.8% (1.3%), while a higher level of large claims 0.4% (0.3%) was recorded due to a fire claim in the property segment in Norway.
The underlying claims ratio was unchanged, driven primarily by claims reduction initiatives, price adjustments broadly in line with inflation and was slightly negatively impacted by the continued high inflow of new business in Denmark and Norway. New business has a higher

claims level in the short term due to customers' higher propensity to claim on their insurance, and it may also include some initial discount. As mentioned, the net impact from COVID-19 in the Private segment was 0.8% (1.3%) of the combined ratio, primarily driven by a lower level of travel claims.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 13.6 (13.7), broadly unchanged despite continued high growth and thus reflecting the focus on efficient distribution. The number of employees was 1,320 at the end of the quarter against 1,344 at the end of 2020. The decrease in number of employees was mainly due to restructuring activities in both Denmark and Norway.
H1 2021 results
The technical result was DKK 1,051m (DKK 920m). The combined ratio was 84.4 (85.4). The outbreak of COVID-19 in Q1 2020 resulted in a high level of claims on travel insurance, while the significantly lower level of travel claims in 2021 explains the improved result. Overall, COVID-19 had an impact of 1.3% in H1 2021 against 0.2% in H1 2020. Premium growth was 6.4% (10.2%) due to strong sales to partner agreements and high performance in general from all sales channels. The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 70.8 (71.7), with COVID-19 the main driving force behind the improvement.

Commercial
Commercial encompasses the sale of insurance products to small and medium-sized businesses in Denmark and Norway and under the brand 'Tryg Garanti' in selected European countries. Sales are distributed via Tryg's own sales force, brokers, Alka (Denmark), franchisees (Norway), customer centres and Group agreements. The business area accounts for 22% of the Group's total premium income.
Results
Commercial posted a technical result of DKK 241m (DKK 223m) and a combined ratio of 81.5 (81.1). The results were positively impacted by higher premium income, an underlying improvement and a higher run-off level. The net positive impact from COVID-19 on the combined ratio was 0.4 (2.4). In general, Tryg reports positive developments for Commercial, with the Danish part showing growth in customer numbers after focusing on smaller Commercial customers, while Norway focused on improving profitability through price adjustments.
Premiums
Gross premium income totalled DKK 1,316m (DKK 1,187m), representing an 8.1% increase in local currencies. In Denmark and Norway, Tryg saw good development in premium growth, which, as mentioned, in Denmark was driven by net gains in customers and in Norway, primarily by increasing prices for unprofitable customers with a high level of acceptance. Tryg also reported healthy growth in the credit and surety business (Tryg Garanti), especially in Germany and the Netherlands.
The retention rate at Commercial Denmark was 88.7 (88.5), which can be ascribed both to an improved service concept and the member bonus from TryghedsGruppen. In Norway, the retention rate was flat at 89.3 (89.3), driven by continued strengthening of the customer focus.
Claims
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 64.9 (64.9). The flat development was impacted by improved underlying claims levels, a higher level of large claims, and also a higher run-off level. The claims level was positively affected by profitability initiatives, particularly in Norway, and the general claims efficiency programme, which lead to an improved underlying claims level. The net positive impact from COVID-19 on the combined ratio was 0.4 (2.4), primarily driven by travel claims.

International Business Case Competition in Q2, Tryg participated in the case competition for students studying International Business at Copenhagen Business School. The participants offered possible solutions for reaching Tryg's Commercial segment. The competition presented an exciting way to engage with talented students.
Expenses
The expense ratio was 16.6 (16.2), and Tryg continues to see good results from the new initiative of recruiting independent sales agents selling exclusively for Tryg at lower costs than traditional sales agents. The slightly higher expense ratio is not representative of a trend but primarily driven by quarterly fluctuations in the expense level.
At the end of the quarter, Commercial had 610 employees against 617 at the end of 2020, primarily due to distribution efficiency.
H1 2021 results
The technical result was DKK 463m (DKK 365m). The combined ratio was 82.0 (84.8), with a significantly lower large claims level, improved underlying claims ratio, and a lower run-off level. Premium growth was 6.7% (5.1%), driven by solid organic growth in Denmark, the credit and surety business, and pricing initiatives in Norway with high acceptance. The net positive impact from COVID-19 on the combined ratio was 0.6 (1.0), primarily driven by less travel activity.

Corporate

Corporate sells insurance products to corporate customers under the brands 'Tryg' in Denmark and Norway, and 'Moderna' in Sweden. Sales are effected both via Tryg's own sales force and via insurance brokers. Moreover, customers with international insurance needs are serviced by Corporate through its cooperation with the AXA Group. The business area accounts for 15% of the Group's total premium income.
Results
The technical result amounted to DKK 174m (DKK 183m) with a combined ratio of 79.7 (77.7). The broadly unchanged technical result is due to an underlying improvement in the claims ratio as result of continued profitability initiatives, primarily in Norway, and a higher level of large claims and a slightly higher level of run-offs. The net positive impact from COVID-19 on the combined ratio was 0.0 (1.8).
Premiums
Gross premium income totalled DKK 864m (DKK 825m), representing a modest increase of 0.4% (0.1%) compared to the prior-year period when measured in local currencies. Premiums were impacted by profitability initiatives in all countries, resulting in a drop in premium income for Denmark and Sweden and an increase in premium income in Norway, mainly due to an inflow of new customers.
Claims
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 69.2 (67.1). The total level of large claims, weather claims and positive run-off was somewhat lower than the same period last year. The underlying claims level improved, primarily due to profitability initiatives in Norway, but an improved underlying claims level was also seen in the Danish and Swedish portfolios due to significant profitability initiatives. There was no net positive impact from COVID-19 on the combined ratio at 0.0 (1.8), highlighting that business in the Corporate is stabilising.
Expenses
The expense ratio was in line with the level of last year at 10.5 (10.7). At the end of the quarter, the number of employees in Corporate was 220 against 212 at the end of 2020.

H1 2021 results
The technical result was DKK 222m (DKK 363m), while the combined ratio was 87.1 (78.3). The lower result and the higher combined ratio reflect a much higher level of large claims and a lower level of run-off gains. Premiums increased by 2.2% (2.7%) when measured in local currencies, mainly due to a loss of business in Denmark caused by the profitability initiatives, high acceptance of price hikes in Norway and inflow of new business. The net positive impact from COVID-19 on the combined ratio was very modest, at 0.2 (0.8).

Sweden
Sweden 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, partners and online. The business area accounts for 6% of the Group's total premium income.
Results
Sweden posted a technical result of DKK 85m (DKK 67m) and a combined ratio of 80.9 (83.7). The higher technical result was primarily due to improved underlying performance. The net impact from COVID-19 on the combined ratio was 0.0 (1.8).
The Swedish business pays a great attention to customer service and has achieved great success with Swish Payout (the main Swedish payment app supported by all Swedish banks). This system enables customers to receive claims compensation in a few seconds instead of the customary few days. Almost 50% of all customer payments are now completed via Swish Payout, which has led to a much higher customer satisfaction compared to the traditional payment system.
Premiums
Premium income totalled DKK 446m (DKK 415m), representing a positive development of 2.4% (7.4%) when measured in local currency. This development was primarily due to price initiatives to improve profitability that impacted both retention and sales levels. Private Sweden decided to drop one of its main aggregators, as the profitability for leads was not acceptable and instead chose to focus on own distribution and partnerships.
Claims
The claims ratio, net of ceded business, was 63.4 (65.1). The lower claims level was primarily due to a lower level of run-off, but Tryg continues to see an improved underlying claims ratio based on the implemented profitability initiatives. The net impact from COVID-19 on the combined ratio was neutral at 0.0 (1.8), illustrating a more normalised situation. Price adjustments have been implemented to improve profitability for both main products and smaller products, such as pet insurance.
Expenses
The expense ratio was somewhat lower at 17.5 (18.6), which did not reflect a new trend but merely seasonal volatility. At the end of the quarter, the number of employees was 423, 15

Investment activities
The investment return for the quarter was DKK -757m (DKK 541m), representing the sum of Tryg's stand-alone investment result, the cost of the currency hedge related to the purchase price of the acquisition and the net profit for June of Codan Norway, Trygg-Hansa and 50% of Codan Denmark, which totalled DKK 181m.
Tryg's stand-alone investment result showed a free portfolio result of DKK 312m (DKK 519m), driven primarily by positive financial markets providing support to especially Tryg's equity, property and credit portfolios. The match portfolio also developed slightly positively, despite a significant weakening of Danish mortgage bonds in May and increasing EUR-DKK yield-spread. The overall match portfolio result was DKK 19m (DKK 127m). Other financial income and expenses were DKK -78m (DKK -105m).
The total market value of Tryg's investment portfolio was DKK 44.6bn at 30 June 2021. The investment portfolio consists of a match portfolio of DKK 32.0bn and a free portfolio of DKK 12.6bn. The match portfolio is composed of low-risk fixed-income assets that mirror the Group's insurance liabilities, so fluctuations resulting from interest rate changes are therefore offset to the greatest possible extent. The free portfolio reflects the Group's capital, it is invested in a global multi-asset low-risk portfolio strategy, predominantly in fixed-income securities of short duration but also in equities and properties.
Free portfolio
Macroeconomic expectations are improving, driven by an accelerated rollout of COVID-19 vaccination programmes (in some countries faster than others) while there remain differences in the lockdown (or reopening) across countries, with the Nordic countries managing the situation relatively well compared to many other countries. Equity markets performed well and Tryg's equity portfolio was up approximately 5% (12% in the prior-year period) for the quarter. Interest rates have moved higher upward since the beginning of the year, driving a mark-to-market loss on some parts of the fixed-income portfolio. Properties generated a return of 3.8% (1.4%), led by price increases due to the very low

interest rates environment, a higher savings level after COVID-19 and fears of inflation. Tryg's free portfolio was up overall 2.5% (4.9%) in Q2 2021.
Match portfolio
The result of the match portfolio is the difference between the return on the match portfolio and the amount transferred to the technical result. The result can be split into a "regulatory deviation" and a "performance result". The "regulatory deviation" reported a positive contribution of DKK 8m (DKK 27m). The "performance" result represented a positive contribution of DKK 11m (DKK 100m) and is driven by decreasing covered bond credit spreads in Q2 and reversed the increase in the Danish Mortgage market in May.
Investment activities post RSA Scandinavia acquisition
The investment result, starting Q3 2021, will be shown as Tryg's stand-alone investment result and (in a separate line) the income from RSA Scandinavia. All tables with reference to the free and match portfolio returns will be unchanged offering the same transparency into Tryg's investments activities. Following the acquisition of RSA's Scandinavia activities, Tryg will increase its invested assets by approximately DKK 25bn, divided between an approximately DKK 6-7bn higher free portfolio and an approximately DKK 18-19bn higher match portfolio. These invested assets pertain to Codan Norway and Trygg-Hansa alone. During the transition period, Tryg will gradually start to adjust the assets mix moving towards the allocations of Tryg's portfolio.

Management's review - Contents
Solvency and dividend
The solvency ratio at the end of Q2 includes all figures related to RSA Scandinavia, this means that both Own funds and the solvency capital requirement are now fully reflecting the acquisition. The solvency ratio (based on Tryg's partial internal model) was 175 at the end of Q2, compared to 180 (adjusted for the equity raise) at the end of Q1 2021. Own funds were DKK 17,395m, and the solvency capital requirement was DKK 9,916m. Both figures now include Codan Norway, Trygg-Hansa and 50% of Codan Denmark. The level of the solvency ratio of 175 is in the middle of the previously guided range of -170 and 180 as per end of Q2. Tryg will pay a quarterly dividend of DKK 1.07 per share in Q2 corresponding to DKK 700m. That amount has already been deducted from the overall Own funds level.
Own funds
Own funds totalled DKK 17,395m at the end of Q2 (DKK 46,058m at the end of Q1 including the proceeds from the rights issue). The downward move was primarily driven by the inclusion of the RSA transaction (primarily intangible assets from the acquisition). Additionally, the move in Own funds from Q1 to Q2 has been characterised by an overall increase in qualifying debt (call back of old Tier 2 and the issuance of new Tier 2 and Tier 1) for approximately DKK 1bn. Tryg's overall result and the dividend payment are also included in the Own funds. Tryg's Own funds predominantly consist of shareholders' equity and subordinated loans. These items should be adjusted for the total amount of intangibles on the balance sheet (fully deducted in Solvency 2).
Solvency capital requirement
Tryg calculates its individual solvency capital requirement based on a partial internal model in accordance with the Danish FSA's Executive Order on Solvency and Operating Plans for Insurance Companies. The model is based on the structure of the standard model. Tryg uses an internal model to evaluate insurance risks, while other risks are calculated using standard model components.
The solvency capital requirement, calculated using the partial internal model, was DKK 9,916m (DKK 5,123m at the end of Q1). The increasing SCR is driven by the enlarged perimeter including Codan Norway, Trygg-Hansa and 50% of Codan Denmark. The Q2 SCR is slightly higher than the previously disclosed "pro-forma" number of DKK 9.8bn, which is entirely driven by a higher market risk charge, primarily stemming from the positive development in equity markets in Q2. Tryg has mentioned previously that once the sale of Codan Denmark becomes effective, the solvency capital requirement will be, all else being equal, DKK 1bn lower.
Moody's rating
Tryg has an 'A1' (stable outlook) insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) from Moody's. The rating agency highlights Tryg'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 Tryg's subordinated debt and a 'Baa3' rating to the Tier 1 notes. All ratings were confirmed following the announcement of the RSA Scandinavia assets acquisition and the recent bond issues.

² Pro-forma technical result based on reported five-year historical average contribution by country for Tryg and Denmark, Sweden, Norway, plus estimated transaction synergies by country
The previous three-year strategy period ended in 2020 with Tryg meeting all its financial targets. A new Capital Markets Day was initially scheduled for 28 January 2021 but has been postponed to 16 November 2021 in order to include Codan Norway & Trygg-Hansa in the new strategy and financial targets. The acquisition is considered transformational, as it will create the largest Scandinavian non-life insurer and double the pro-forma technical result. Hence, including the acquired asset in future financial targets is deemed essential for Tryg's next Capital Markets Day. Tryg has decided to publish a detailed outlook for 2021 together with the annual report. It is important to note that Tryg will not publish annual financial guidance going forward (i.e. in future annual reports), but will instead refer to the financial targets presented at the next Capital Markets Day in autumn 2021 for the next three years ending in 2024.
Tryg (excluding RSA's assets) expects a technical result in the range of DKK 3.5-3.8bn (DKK 3.3-3.7bn previously) in 2021. On 5 July, the guidance has been upgraded and narrowed following a positive H1, while the range is due to the natural volatility of large and weather claims and profitability initiatives which could impact the top line, especially in the Corporate and Commercial segments. The low end of the range would imply a significantly higher level of weather and large claims compared to normalised guidance of large claims of DKK 550m and weather claims of DKK 600m a year. Run-off gains are expected to be between 3-5%. After Q1, Tryg guided for an investment income of between DKK 350m and DKK 500m. The standalone investment result totalled DKK 440m in

H1, and the updated forecast is therefore for an investment result between DKK ~450m and DKK 550m for the full-year. A newsletter explaining all the movements is available on tryg.com. Additionally, a link on tryg.com provides daily updates on the return from the free portfolio (the capital of the company) for greater transparency about overall investment income. Other income and costs in the P&L are expected to be between DKK -200m and -300m (DKK -150m and -250m in the Q1 2021 report). This item includes the depreciation associated with the Alka acquisition, some holding company costs not related to the insurance portfolio and the income and costs related to selling pension products for Danske Bank. Additionally, in Q2, some IFRS 17 implementation costs are being booked together with expenses related to Group projects, including the acquisition of RSA Scandinavia.
Impact of RSA's assets
The acquisition of RSA's Norwegian and Swedish businesses and 50% of RSA's Danish business has been finally approved by all relevant authorities, and the closing date was 1 June. Based on this, RSA's assets are being 'equity-accounted'
for starting 1 June 2021. Tryg will book the net profit contribution (for the relevant period) from the acquired assets under 'income from associates' under investment activities. A profit of DKK 181m has been included for the month of June. In the table taken from the rights issue prospectus, it is possible to see the results for the past three years of Codan Norway and Trygg-Hansa consolidated.
Tryg has disclosed total costs of DKK 4.4bn related to the RSA transaction.
Some of these costs will be booked in the P&L, while some will be recognised on the balance sheet. In 2020, the RSA related currency hedge was booked with no impact on the P&L. In Q2 2021, an expense of approximately DKK 1.2bn related to the cost of the contract has as expected been booked in the P&L following the closing of the transaction. Additionally, DKK 1.5bn (previous guidance DKK 1.6bn) pertaining to underwriting fees for the rights issue and to the fees of financial and legal advisers has been booked on the balance sheet. Approximately DKK 700m was booked in Q1 as a deduction from shareholder equity and an additional DKK

780m has been booked in Q2. Total restructuring costs expected of DKK 1.6bn (previous guidance DKK 1.5bn) will also be booked in the P&L. At the time of writing, some DKK 500m is expected to be booked in H2 2021, and the remaining DKK 1.1bn in 2022. However, the exact timing remains uncertain as it depends on the assets separation expected during the spring in 2022. A first draft of the purchase price allocation shows likely annual amortisation of intangible assets (after-tax) in the range of DKK 600-800m following the assets separation expected in the spring of 2022.
Solvency and dividends
Tryg has announced dividends of between DKK 2.6bn and DKK 3.0bn for the full-year 2021. A quarterly dividend of DKK 700m (DKK 1.07 per share) was announced for Q1 2021, and the same amount will be paid after Q2 in line with Tryg's policy to pay a flat nominal quarterly dividend. The solvency ratio is now expected to be approximately 180 (previously above 170) at the end of 2021.

The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board have today considered and adopted the interim report for H1 2021 of Tryq A/S and Q2 2021 and H1 2021 of the Tryq Group.
The report, which is unaudited and has not been reviewed by the company's auditors, is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Danish Financial Business Act and the requirements of the NASDAQ Copenhagen for the presentation of financial statements of listed companies.

We are furthermore of the opinion that the management's review includes a fair review of the developments in the activities and financial position of the Group and parent company, the results for the period and of the Group's and parent company's financial position in general and describes the principal risks and uncertainties that the Group and parent company face.

4 Equity investments in associates
Acquisition of activities
RSA Scandinavia (Scandi JVco)
On 1 June 2021, Tryg acquired RSA's Swedish (Trygg-Hansa) and Norwegian (Codan Norway) businesses and a co-share of RSA's Danish business, being Codan Denmark. The transaction was performed with Intact Financial Corporation as co-investor. Tryg's share of purchase price amounted £4.2bn.
RSA shareholders were entitled to receive 685 pence per ordinary share which represents an aggregate cash consideration of approximately £7.2bn, consisting of:
- £3.0bn for the acquisition of RSA's Canadian, UK and International operations and the Intact's indirect co-share of RSA's Danish business; and
- £4.2bn for the acquisition of RSA's Swedish and Norwegian businesses and Tryg's co-share of RSA's Danish business.
Due to the shareholders' agreement Tryg will not have control of RSA's Scandinavian business but will have significant influence. Accordingly, the investment is classified as an investment in associates. Investments in associates are accounted for by applying the equity method, whereby Trygs shares of the current profit/loss is recognised in the investment activities as profit/loss from associates.
Equity method will be applied from closing up until the Swedish and Norwegian businesses will be separated from the Danish business through a demerger. After demerger the Swedish and Norwegian businesses will be fully consolidated in the financial statement. Until the demerger Tryg's investment is considered one unit of account. Demerger is expected in Q1 2022.
Prior to the delivery of sole legal ownership of the Swedish and Norwegian businesses to Tryg pursuant to the demerger, Tryg will enjoy all benefits and risk of the Swedish and Norwegian businesses including by having sole control of their daily and long-term operations pursuant to the shareholders' agreement.
In respect of Codan Denmark, Intact and Tryg will co-own Codan Danmark on a 50/50 economic basis. Tryg will indirectly have 50% of the voting rights, however, Tryg's ability to exercise such voting rights will be restricted, as to ensure compliance with the competition law. Intact will have sole control of Codan Denmark with Tryg's rights being reduced to minority shareholder protection rights.
Initial recognition comprise:
| Purchase price (GBP 4.205m) | 36,357 |
|---|---|
| Value adjustment from hedge of firm commitment | -1,240 |
| Costs directly attributable to the acquisition | 780 |
| Cost on initial recognition | 35,897 |
Net profit (after tax) related to the RSA transaction 1 June – 30 June 2021 amounts DKK 181m. The amount is recognised in the investment return as Profit/Loss from associates. The net profit relates to the net income after tax for the Tryg-Hansa and Codan Norway and 50% of the share of Codan Denmark.
Tryg hedged the purchase price to foreign currency fluctuations entering into a RSA related currency hedge (deal contingent forward). Premium inherent in the contract amounts to DKK 1,285m. The hedge has resulted in a positive FX value adjustment of DKK 250m. The total effect of the DCF hedge is a negative value adjustment of DKK 1,035m and is included in investment return. - Of which DKKm 156 was recorded in Q1 and DKKm -1,191 in Q2 2021.
The purchase price was deposited on an Escrow account. However, the account carried negative interest. The resulting interest expense amounted DKK 33m.
