Statement by Group CEO Morten Hubbe:

2014 saw a substantial improvement in Tryg's financial results, and we delivered the best Q4 technical result since Tryg was listed. This means that we have already, one year ahead of schedule, nearly met the ambitious financial targets set in 2012 for our combined ratio, expense level and return on equity. This is a very satisfactory result, and one which was made possible by the committed efforts of Tryg's employees.

In 2014, we continued our work to make our internal processes more efficient, and we have implemented structural changes to strengthen Tryg's insurance operations in a permanent way and to support our most important mission - to deliver a world-class customer experience.

Up to 2017, we will strive for further efficiency improvements of DKK 750m and optimise our customer service business procedures to ensure that our customers are so satisfied with our services that they will stay with Tryg, buy more and recommend us to others. With this end in view, we have set out a number of concrete and ambitious targets to strengthen customer experience in Tryg.

With the important steps taken by Tryg in 2014, we now have an even stronger platform for meeting these targets, and we look forward to continuing to produce strong results in the coming years for the benefit of both customers and shareholders in Tryg.
