Introduction

Macroeconomic background and market performance

Macroeconomic background

Globally, 2021 was characterised as a year of economic recovery, with global GDP forecast to rise by 5.9% (after falling by 3.5% in 2020). The economic recovery was particularly strong in the second quarter of the year, due to the removal of widescale restrictions and gradual expansion of the vaccination campaigns. On the other hand, in the third and fourth quarter, growth slowed as a result of increasing downside risks due, on the one hand, to the spread of new variants of COVID-19 and, on the other, to the emergence of increasing inflationary risks, in particular deriving from procurement difficulties and the increase in commodity and energy prices.

In the United States, GDP increased by 5.7% in 2021 (-3.4% in 2020). The recovery was particularly strong in the first and second quarter, and then continued in the third and fourth quarter. Economic growth was supported especially by an increase in consumption and private investments, and allowed for an improvement in the job market, with the unemployment rate falling from an average of 8.1% in 2020 to 5.4% in 2021. Monetary policy remained expansionary, with the Fed continuing with its bond purchase programme and keeping the Fed Funds rate at 0.125%. These factors helped to drive the inflation rate, which reached an average of 4.7% in 2021 compared to 1.2% in 2020.

In China, GDP increased by 8.1% in 2021 (+2.2% in 2020). Chinese growth was especially driven by robust expansion in industrial production, which offset less brilliant growth in domestic demand. In this context, the unemployment rate averaged 5.1% in 2021, while the annual average inflation rate was 0.9%. Also in this phase, the Chinese economy drove the growth of the emerging countries bloc, which was forecast at 6.9% in 2021, compared to the 1.6% decline in 2020.

In Japan, average estimated GDP growth for 2021 was 1.7%. Japanese growth was negatively affected (especially in the first and third quarter) by uncertain epidemic trends and particular procurement difficulties due to strong integration within global value chains. In this context, the unemployment rate remained steady at an annual average of 2.8%. Despite the very accommodative monetary policy (the policy rate was an average -0.03%), the inflation rate was negative on average compared to 2020, recording deflation of 0.2%.

In the Euro Area, GDP rose by 5.2% in 2021 (-6.5% in 2020). After a negative first quarter (-0.2% compared to the previous quarter), the economic recovery gained strength, marking 2.2% growth in the second and 2.3% growth in the third quarter. As a consequence of a new wave of the pandemic, growth slowed in the fourth quarter to 0.3% compared to the previous quarter. The average unemployment rate in 2021 was 7.7%, with the December 2021 rate at 7.0%. In this context, monetary policy maintained an expansionary tone throughout the year, with the ECB's main refinancing rate and the rate on deposits remaining unchanged (at 0.0% and -0.5%, respectively) and the implementation of the bond purchase programmes announced during the pandemic emergency (PEPP and APP). These measures allowed a recovery of the inflation rate, which in 2021 averaged 2.6%.

After a 9.1% decline in 2020, Italian GDP rose by 6.6% in 2021. After a weak first quarter (+0.3% over the previous quarter), growth strengthened during the year, buoyed by the recovery of industry and services, reaching 2.7% and 2.5% in the second and third quarter, to then close the final quarter of the year with 0.6% growth over the previous quarter. In this context, the average unemployment rate was 9.5%, with the December 2021 rate at 9.0%. The annual inflation rate was 1.9% (-0.1% in 2020).

Financial markets

The ECB's announcements in December regarding suspension of the PEPP from March 2022 and expectations of a more austere monetary policy drove a partial upturn in all the European interest rate curves, especially for the longer maturities. The 3-month Euribor rate closed 2021 at a stable -0.57%, only 3 basis points down on the figures at the end of 2020, while the 10-year Swap rate increased in the same period by 56 basis points, closing 2021 at 0.30%.

The gradual return to normal of the expansionary monetary policies also contributed to forcing up government interest rates in the main Euro Area countries. In Germany, the 10-year Bund closed 2021 at -0.16%, up 39 basis points on the values at the end of 2020, whilst in Italy the 10-year BTP closed 2021 at 1.19%, up 66 basis points. The 10-year spread between Italian and German rates was therefore 133 basis points at the end of 2021, up by 24 basis points compared to the end of 2020.

The year 2021 closed positively for the European stock markets which, after overcoming the most acute phase of the pandemic crisis, closed the year with strong increases. The Eurostoxx 50 index, referring to the Euro Area prices, showed a 21% increase in 2021 compared to the values at the end of 2020, whilst the FTSE Mib, referring to Italian listed companies, rose by 14.30% in the same period. The DAX, referring to German listed companies, instead closed 2021 up by +15.79% compared to December 2020.

Unemployment and inflation forecasts, along with the analysis of recent job market trends, underlie the change in rhetoric in the more restrictive sense on the part of the Fed in recent weeks. At its December meeting, inflationary risks and the progress made in the job market in the direction of full employment caused the Fed to announce that it would more quickly taper the rhythm of net purchases in its bond purchase programme. In any event, the first three quarters of 2021 were characterised by expansionary monetary policies and these measures supported the US stock indexes, allowing the S&P 500 to close 2021 up 26.89% compared to the end of 2020. The US dollar appreciated compared to the euro, with the EUR/USD exchange rate closing 2021 at 1.14, marking a 7.06% appreciation of the dollar compared to the end of 2020.

The year 2021 instead closed in an uneven manner across the international stock indexes: the Nikkei, referring to listed companies in Japan, closed 2021 up by 4.91%, while the Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets index, focusing on emerging markets, declined by 4.59% in 2021.

Insurance Sector

In 2021, due to the expected evolution of the last part of the year, taking into consideration the final data at the third quarter of 2021, Italian insurance premiums should reach €143.4bn, up 6.3% compared to 2020.

Total premiums of the Italian direct portfolio in the Non-Life business (only direct business) are expected to increase in 2021 by 2.2% compared to 2020. In the MV sector, consisting of MV TPL, Marine Vessels TPL and Land Vehicle Hulls, premiums should be down compared to 2020 (-2.3%). In the same period, total premiums in the MV TPL + Marine Vessels TPL business should decline by 4.7%, while Land Vehicle Hulls should be up by 7.2%. According to ANIA data, in 2021 the average premium in the MV TPL business saw a decrease of 4.0% compared to 2020, to €322. The ISTAT index of the MV TPL prices, the value of which reflects the price lists and not those actually applied by companies, instead recorded a 1.5% decline in 2021.

Non-MV Non-Life premiums should increase by 6.2% in 2021 compared to 2020. The Healthcare segment should rise by 5.7%, due to the strong growth in Health (+7.4%) and the more limited increase in Accident (+4.1%). The Property class should be up by 5.9% thanks to the good performance of Other Damage to Property (+6.3%) and the Fire class (+5.5%). Other Non-Life premiums should instead rise by 5.7% thanks to the increase in Bonds (+10.5%), Legal Expenses (+8.3%) and Credit (+6.3%), while General TPL is expected to grow by 7.8%.

In the MV sector, the negative trend for the agency channel should continue in 2021, with premiums down by 2.6% compared to 2020 and an overall weight of 82.5% on total premiums, against a strong increase in premiums in the banking channel (+22.4%), a decline in the Brokers channel (-15.5%) and essential stability in the Direct channel. Non-MV premiums in the agency channel should increase by 4.2%, in the banking channel and Direct channel they should rise by 22.7% and 15.8% respectively, while premiums from Brokersare expected to decrease by -3.2%.

Premiums in the Life segment (only direct business) are forecast to increase by 7.7% in 2021 compared to 2020, mainly as a result of the strong growth in Class III premiums (+41.4%). On the other hand, growth is expected to be down for Class I (-4.6%), Class IV (-1.8%), Class V (-19.2%) and Class VI (-28.5%).

In 2021, the agency channel in the Life segment should be up by 3.1%, with an overall weight of 14.0% on total premiums. The Consultants and Banks channels should also be up, by 31.1% and 5.2%, respectively, compared to 2020, accounting for 74.4% of total premiums, whilst the Direct and Brokerschannels are expected to decline by 0.6%.

Pension funds

In 2021, net deposits of assets under management (mutual funds, individual asset management, collective and individual pension plans) amounted to around €91.7bn, of which €71.4bn referring to collective management (open and closed funds).

Pension asset management, with net income of roughly €2.9bn in the third quarter of 2021, already broadly surpassed total net premiums from the previous year, equal to €1.5bn. It consistently recorded positive values throughout the year, with +€716.5bn in the first quarter, +€467bn in the second and +€981.1bn in the third. Asset management referring to pension funds (pension funds and individual pension plans) therefore amounted to €113bn at the end of the third quarter of 2021, equal to 4.5% of total assets under management, up 4.6% on the end of 2020.

In 2021, existing positions with pension funds increased by 403k compared to the end of 2020. The annual increase of 4.3% was higher than the 2.6% recorded in 2020 and slightly lower than the 4.4% of 2019. In December 2021, there were therefore 9.745m existing positions, of which 72.4% held by employees.

In line with aggregate trends, in 2021 there was an expansion in open funds which recorded an increase of 6.6% in existing positions, corresponding to 14.2% growth in funds assigned to services. For occupational funds (also inclusive of welfare funds), funds assigned to services increased by 8.2%. There was also an increase in existing positions of 2.9% for "new PIPs", for which the resources allocated to services were up by 13%. Lastly, for pre-existing pension funds, for which the available data date back to September 2021, the number of positions is basically unchanged compared to December of the previous year (-0.3%).

Thanks to the sustained growth in the equity markets during the year, in 2021 average 1-year returns of supplementary pension schemes linked to equities improved compared to the previous year. Indeed, in 2020 the returns of those lines were between -1.3% recorded for "new" PIPs and +5.6% for occupational pension funds, while in 2021 the values were between +11.1% for occupational funds and +18.9% for "new" PIPs. In general, the return observed for occupational pension funds went from +3.1% in 2020 to +4.9% in 2021, on the other hand in open pension funds it rose from +2.9% in 2020 to +6.4% in 2021, while in the "new" PIP unit-linked lines, it went from -0.2% in 2021 to +11.1% in 2021. On the segregated funds of "new" PIPs, the return dropped slightly, from 1.4% in 2020 to 1.3% in 2021, a figure which for this year is significantly lower than the revaluation of post-employment benefits (3.6%), which rose significantly compared to 1.2% in 2020 due to inflation.

Real Estate market

According to the Real Estate Market Observatory of the Tax Authorities, after the 7.7% decline recorded in 2020, in 2021 home sales in the residential sector rose by 29.5%, exceeding 2019 levels by a wide margin (+19.6%).

The strong expansion in housing investments was also reflected in home prices for the 13 major cities, which in 2021 saw a 1.0% increase compared to 2020, confirming the expansionary phase that began in the second half of 2020.

In the major cities, residential rent also increased over 2020 (+0.9%), although at a rate lower than the prices of existing homes (+1.0%) and with a stable cap rate. As for prices, the increase in rent involved nearly all of the major cities, except for Venice (-1.8%) and Rome (-0.8%), with Milan marking the best performance (+1.8%).

After the 13.3% decrease recorded in 2020, in 2021 sales in the non-residential sector were up by 37.9% on 2020, exceeding 2019 levels by 19.6%, similar to the trend for homes. The growth was more marked for offices (+53.5%) and stores (+38.8%), but more modest for the production sector (+20.5%). As observed for homes, the recovery also had positive impacts on non-residential property prices, although the decline in prices for stores and offices, which has now persisted over 28 half-years, continued in 2021, albeit at lower rates than those observed in 2020.

Main regulatory developments

In 2021, the reference regulatory framework for the sectors in which the Company carries on business saw numerous actions from the policy makers.

Relevant regulations for the insurance sector

As regards prudential insurance regulations, on 23 September 2021, the European Commission published a proposal (COM/2021/581) to amend the Solvency II Directive (Directive 2009/138/EC). The changes of most interest to the Italian insurance market regard the functioning of the Volatility Adjustment, the new formulation of which should guarantee a stronger potential for mitigation of excess financial market volatility at EU and domestic levels. In addition, the Commission proposes a significant review of group supervision rules, both in reference to identification of the "group" scope and as regards the group solvency calculation and corporate governance requirements. In the proposal, in order to mitigate the spread of systemic risk, the assignment of new macroprudential supervisory powers to the competent authorities is also envisaged. These include the option of forbidding dividend distributions and freezing policy surrender rights of contracting parties for a limited period of time and in exceptional crisis situations. Furthermore, the Authorities can ask insurance companies to adopt systemic risk management plans as well as an enhanced system for monitoring liquidity risk.

Other significant changes will be contained in the Solvency II Delegated Acts, for which the Commission, even if the legislative text has not yet been presented, has clarified its political guidelines. Particularly important among these is the proposal to ease the eligibility requirements for long-term equity investments, which could benefit from more favourable prudential treatment, and the proposal to correct the function of the Risk Margin which, according to the Commission, will allow an aggregate level reduction in capital requirements of more than €50bn.

In addition, on 23 September 2021, the European Commission presented a proposal for an Insurance Recovery and Resolution Directive (IRRD) (COM/2021/582) which follows the same lines as for banking sector regulations (BRRD) but without introducing additional capital requirements similar to those envisaged for banks ("Minimum Requirement for own funds and Eligible Liabilities" - MREL). The Commission's proposal envisages the obligation for insurance companies to prepare a "Pre-emptive recovery plan" (in effect similar to the "Pre-emptive recovery plan" already envisaged in Italian regulations) and the obligation for Resolution Authorities to prepare a "Resolution plan" (it envisages that at least 80% and 70%, respectively, of the insurance market in each Member State will be subject to recovery planning and resolution planning). In the preparation and updating phases of the "Resolution plan", the Resolution Authority will need to assess "resolvability" of the insurance company and, if significant impediments are found to the resolution option (and it considers action proposed by the company to remove the impediments to be insufficient), it can ask the insurance company to adopt highly incisive alternative measures, such as the closure of certain lines of business, limitations on intercompany loans and a reorganisation of operations.

Lastly, note that 22 December 2021 saw the entry into force of Directive (EU) 2021/2018, amending the Motor Insurance Directive (Directive 2009/103/EC), which must be adopted by Member States by 23 December 2023. The purpose of the Directive is to encourage alternative and sustainable mobility and strengthen the protection of injured parties in respect of damage resulting from accidents. The Directive amends the definition of "vehicle" and, consequently, extends civil liability policy obligations to include any motor vehicle propelled exclusively by mechanical power on land (but not running on rails), with: i) a maximum design speed of more than 25 km/h, regardless of net weight and their trailers; ii) a maximum design speed of more than 14 km/h and a maximum net weight of more than 25 kg. The new definition therefore excludes most electric scooters, segways and e-bikes in circulation. In addition, the activities of the Compensation Bodies is expanded, envisaging their involvement also if an insurance company defaults due to insolvency (i.e. the insurance company is subject to collective insolvency proceedings or to winding-up proceedings pursuant to Art. 268, letter d) of the Solvency II Directive). This latter situation guarantees the injured party in the event of a cross-border accident involving a foreign vehicle, the insurance company of which is no longer solvent. The onus upon Member States to guarantee that the Bodies reach compensation agreements, up to now mainly devolved to bilateral negotiation, is also extended, thereby facilitating recourse to the Compensation Bodies in all cases of crossborder claims. Furthermore, the Directive introduces the "claims-history statement" for policyholders to guarantee EU residents from all forms of contractual discrimination based on their nationality or based on their previous home Member State.

On 27 April 2021 in Italy, IVASS Regulation no. 47 containing provisions on restructuring and financing plans was issued. The Private Insurance Code (CAP) requires that insurance companies submit a restructuring plan to IVASS in the event of non-compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement and a financing plan in a case of non-compliance with the Minimum Capital Requirement. IVASS Regulation no. 47/2021 provides detailed instructions regarding the contents of individual and group restructuring and financing plans, as well as implementing rules on the preparation and authorisation process for the aforementioned plans.

Lastly, note that IVASS Regulation no. 48 containing capital add-on provisions was issued on 3 November 2021. The Private Insurance Code (CAP) envisages the option for Supervisory Authorities to require a capital add-on from insurance companies if, following a prudential control procedure pursuant to Art. 47quinquies of the CAP, significant shortcomings are detected, among other things, in the corporate governance system. IVASS Regulation no. 48/2021 clarifies the justifying conditions for IVASS to trigger such power and which parameters are used to determine the amount of the capital add-on.

As concerns accounting regulations, please note the following measures issued:

IVASS Measure no. 109

On 27 January 2021, IVASS published its amendments to Regulation no. 7/2007 concerning the extension to 1 January 2023 of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 referring to "Financial instruments" for the insurance sector.

Application Clarification on the treatment of tax credits

On 24 March 2021, IVASS published an Application Clarification concerning the treatment of tax credits connected with Decree Laws no. 18/2020 ("Cure Italy") and no. 34/2020 ("Relaunch"), which introduced several tax incentive measures connected to spending on investments (e.g., eco and sismabonus) and current expenditure (e.g., lease payments for premises not used for residential purposes). Specifically, IVASS clarified that:

  • it is possible to recognise them amongst assets covering the technical provisions if the overall investment portfolio respects criteria of security, quality, liquidity and profitability and is consistent with the risk profile and duration of the liabilities of the insurance company (IVASS Regulation no. 24/2016);
  • if eligible to cover the technical provisions and if suitable to generate remuneration, they may be classified under the reference assets for the calculation of the return on segregated funds (ISVAP Regulation no. 38/2011);
  • as regards accounting treatment, insurance companies that do not adopt international accounting standards to draft their financial statements must recognise the tax credits in Asset item E.III "Other Receivables" and the relative gains and losses in the income statement items III.7 "Other income" and III.8 "Other charges", respectively. The income must be broken down based on the effective interest rate calculated on initial recognition of the tax credit pursuant to OIC 15 (amortised cost).

Other regulations

As regards sustainable finance, 9 December 2021 saw the publication in the EU Official Journal of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, supplementing the Taxonomy Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2020/852) by establishing the technical screening criteria for determining the conditions under which an economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to climate change mitigation or climate change adaptation and for determining whether that economic activity causes no significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives (Climate Delegated Act). The Delegated Regulation in question applies from 1 January 2022. Then on 10 December 2021 the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 was published, supplementing Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation, by specifying the content and presentation of information to be disclosed by financial and non-financial companies subject to non-financial reporting obligations in relation to the extent to which their associated economic activities are sustainable pursuant to the EU Taxonomy. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 will be applied gradually, with the first phase relating to reporting of Taxonomy-eligible economic activities (for financial companies from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023) and a second phase relating to the reporting of Taxonomy-aligned economic activities (for financial companies from 1 January 2024, in reference to 2023).

Lastly, Regulation (EU) no. 2019/2088 of 27 November 2019 (the Disclosure Regulation) will apply from 10 March 2021, imposing transparency obligations on financial market operators in relation to the methods for integrating ESG factors into investment activities and internal processes. In order to comply with the Regulation's obligations, insurance companies have supplemented the precontractual and periodic disclosures on insurance-based investment products (IBIPs), specifying the potential impacts of environmental or social changes on product yields (sustainability risks). In addition, further transparency obligations apply to sustainable investment products, i.e. products whose investments can promote environmental or social characteristics or are designed to finance sustainable economic activities. Lastly, the insurance companies have published a statement on their websites regarding measurement methods for the effects of corporate investment decisions on environmental and social factors, as well as the remuneration policies of the company in relation to the integration of sustainability risks. Additional transparency obligations will be introduced after the adoption of the Delegated Acts to the Regulation in question (2019/2088), due for application from 1 January 2023.

Tax regulations

Various legal measures were issued in 2021 in the wake of the urgent legislation in 2020, starting with Decree Law no. 18 of 17 March 2020, the "Cure Italy Decree" (and subsequent Liquidity, Relaunch, August and Relief decrees), with the aim of extending or strengthening the support and relaunch measures for the economy that was hit hard by the COVID-19 epidemiological emergency.

These refer in particular to the following Decrees, later converted to law:

  • Decree Law no. 41 of 22 March 2021, "Urgent measures on support for businesses and economic, employment, health and local services operators, in relation to the COVID-19 emergency" (Support Decree)
  • Decree Law no. 73 of 25 May 2021, "Urgent measures relating to the COVID-19 emergency, for businesses, employment, young people, health and local services" (Support-bis Decree)
  • Decree Law no. 146 of 21 October 2021, "Urgent measures on economic and tax matters, job protection and needs that cannot be postponed", the Tax and Jobs Decree associated with the 2022 Budget Law.

The provisions of interest include:

  • the regulation in the Support-bis Decree which, with the aim of incentivising the capitalisation of businesses in economic difficulty as a result of COVID, upgraded the ACE benefit (Aid to Economic Growth), in particular increasing the extent of this benefit only for capital increases in the 2021 tax period and with a limit of €5m, raising the related notional yield to be deducted from the tax to 15% of the total - instead of 1.3% - and allowing businesses to make use of the benefit by alternatively transforming it into a tax credit;
  • the regulation in Decree 146 (later incorporated into the 2022 Budget Law), which rewrites the operating methods for the "Patent Box" benefit, repealing previous provisions which made the benefit commensurate with income from intangible assets, now replaced by a benefit that consists in increasing by 110% the costs incurred for research and development (R&D) relating to those same assets, used directly or indirectly in a company's business activities, excluding trademarks and know-how.

Also note the issue of the 2022 Budget Law - Law no. 234 of 30 December 2021, containing the State budget forecast for 2022 and the long-term budget for the three-year period 2022-2024, of which the following provisions are of particular interest:

• amendment of the revaluation and realignment rules for business assets contained in the August Decree (Decree Law 104/2020), trademarks and goodwill in particular, envisaging the tax deductibility of higher values recognised over 50 years instead of the 18 years indicated previously. Alternatively, the original amortisation schedule can be maintained, with the payment of a substitute tax at a variable rate (12.5% to 16%), as an additional option allowing the cancellation of all or part of a revaluation already applied or a realignment with offsetting or reimbursement of the substitute tax paid up to 3%. As an exception to the Taxpayers' Charter rules governing the effectiveness of tax laws over time, the regulations introduced become effective from the year after that in reference to which the revaluation or realignment were carried out.

  • The "Superbonus 110%" deduction, introduced by the Relaunch Decree (Decree Law 34/2020) has been extended, with different maturities depending on the type of beneficiary and/or year in which the expense is incurred, and gradual reduction of the current 110% percentage to 70% in 2024 and 65% in 2025, the last year of the benefit. With a view to combating credit fraud, on 25 February 2022 the Decree Law no. 13 (Fraud Decree) was issued, which definitively sanctioned the prohibition of further transfer of the tax credit, already introduced by the Decree Law no. 4 of 27 January 2022 (Support-ter Decree), however giving the possibility of making two further transfers in favor of qualified subjects, such as banks and financial intermediaries, companies belonging to a banking group, or insurance companies authorized to operate in Italy.
  • extension of the tax deductions on energy renovation works, recovery of building assets and the "facades bonus", and the introduction of new relief measures in reference to works for the direct purpose of overcoming and eliminating physical access barriers from existing buildings;
  • raising of the annual investment allowance for PIRs (long-term savings plans), from the current €30,000 to €40,000 for PIRs implemented up to 31 December 2019. The overall limit is also revised upwards, from €150,000 to €200,000. For alternative PIRs, implemented from 1 January 2020 onwards, the annual investment cap of €300k and total of €1,500,000 remain, at the same time removing the restriction that allowed only one "ordinary" PIR and one "alternative" PIR to be held by each natural person.

In 2021, no significant changes occurred in the series of national accounting standards issued by the OIC (Italian Accounting Standards Setter).

Information on significant events

COVID-19 - Impacts and initiatives of the Group

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began at the end of February 2020, also affected 2021 though with a lower impact on Group operations compared to the previous year.

In particular, the first part of 2021 saw the continuation of certain travel restrictions for individuals through selective lockdowns, mainly on a regional scale, which gradually eased with the arrival of summer and improvement in the pandemic situation. In the second part of the year, despite rising infections, the growing success of the vaccination campaign meant that severe travel restrictions on individuals were no longer necessary and allowed businesses to reopen, for example the winter tourism industry, after a long halt.

In operating terms for the insurance sector, the MV TPL class was, as already mentioned, still affected by a limited claims frequency, though up on the previous year, and this strongly boosted competition as regards rates, which continued to decline. An effect on UnipolSai also came from continuation of the #UnMesePerTe initiative, which from April 2020 and throughout 2021, for customers who had not already made use of it on first renewal of the policy, offered its customers a 1/12 discount (one month) in the premium previously paid.

In the Non-Life insurance business other than MV TPL, on the other hand, the strong economic recovery during the year and the action of our production networks allowed a considerable recovery in production with a level of 2021 premiums that, overall, exceeded the pre-pandemic values.

In a context still influenced by the effects of the pandemic, albeit much improved by the vaccines, the Group maintained strong prudential criteria for its year-end valuations of Non-Life technical provisions as shock absorbers against any future repercussions, not yet known, on the global insurance guarantees provided by the Group.

The performances of premiums and volumes managed were highly positive in the Life sector, where they were favourably impacted by financial market trends which in 2021, aided by the economic recovery, recorded no particular turbulence despite the succession of waves of the pandemic.

With reference to other businesses of the Group in 2021, as in 2020, the only significant repercussions were for the company Gruppo UNA, active in the hotel sector, on which the COVID-19 pandemic had a very significant impact. In order to limit the economic effects, the company kept the majority of its hotels closed also in the first part of 2021, concentrated in major Italian cities and in some tourist areas, and made recourse to the Salary Integrity Fund for employees of the hotels closed. The other Group companies, active in other types of businesses and moreover with sizes that are not particularly relevant within the Group, saw no significant impacts on the Income Statement for the period.

As in 2020, in drafting the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2021, appropriate analyses were again conducted to carefully consider the consequences of COVID-19, particularly with regard to the measurement of assets pursuant to IAS 36 and the identification of any impact, as regards COVID-19-related risks and uncertainties, on the going concern assumption and on strategic planning.

In particular, the financial statement measurements to determine the recoverable amount of goodwill as part of the impairment testing procedure are based on long-term economic and financial projections developed to take into account the Budget approved by the Board of Directors for 2022, strategic actions defined also for subsequent years and the related market scenario impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the basis of the long-term economic and financial projections prepared on information currently available, taking into account the nature and characteristics of the Group's businesses, it is not considered that the effects of COVID-19 can compromise going concern.

Main initiatives of the Group in response to the health emergency in 2021

At operating level, the Group continued with its actions and initiatives already undertaken in the course of 2020, adapting and adding to them over time as the health emergency and related regulatory measures developed. In particular, initiatives supporting customers and the agency network activated in the course of 2020 continued, as did the Group's careful and constant monitoring of the liquidity and solvency situation, with a view to allowing for the prompt activation of any risk profile optimisation actions.

In this context, with the aim of accelerating the national COVID-19 vaccination campaign and in coordination with the relevant national and regional institutions, the Unipol Group prepared a vaccination programme for all its employees, their family members, agents and agency personnel, as well as Groups and companies in the main Italian production industries, confirming Unipol's role as a central player in the process of integrating public and private healthcare. This was the first vaccination programme developed by a company operating anywhere in Italy, with over 200 approved vaccination sites, 4 specialist hubs and over 11 thousand vaccines administered during the year in 8 regions.

For employees, the Group extended the strongly precautionary initiatives already implemented in 2020 to contain the risk of infection and guarantee business continuity with maximum protection for personnel. For example, restrictions on travel and all gatherings, intensification of office disinfection activities, expansion of flexible entry and exit times and the protection of people in vulnerable situations were all extended.

Remote working was also envisaged for most of the year, as well as daily monitoring by the internally established Task Force and centralised management of office access authorisations. With a view to restoring normal working lives, from 4 November, in line with the recovery of all business and social activities in Italy, the Group organised a return to inoffice activities. After significantly expanding the scope of protections envisaged by law and having agreed to requests for remote working from all personnel considered "vulnerable" (vulnerable health conditions, beneficiaries of protection under Art. 3, Law 104/92 or Law 68/99, exempt from the vaccination campaign, pregnant workers or with children up to 1 year of age, and the over-sixties), the return to in-office work involved around 70% of personnel.

In relation to the return to office working, numerous preliminary and control activities were carried out, such as:

  • updating of the company COVID-19 Protocol consistent with legal changes and government protocol recommendations, also updating all training and education material and arranging its dissemination to all employees and external suppliers with access to company premises;
  • activation of the Green Pass control system, differentiating methods according to the size and characteristics of the offices (automatic readers in offices with turnstiles, through appointed personnel at other offices), as well as verification and monitoring at all offices of the correct application and compliance with the COVID-19 Protocol with the involvement of internal and external personnel;
  • prompt and widespread distribution of Personal Protection Equipment based on the plan for return to inoffice working;
  • management of health supervision consistent with ministerial indications, giving priority to close control requirements, prior to recruitments and returns after long absences;
  • specific site inspections of all canteen premises, though managed by external suppliers, and company catering areas.

Aside from the prevention and management actions intended to limit the health emergency, the decision was made to provide a remote counselling service, due to the continuation of the pandemic, called "Parliamone" ("Let's Talk About It"), to support people in managing critical issues in their personal lives, which the extensive pandemic period may have caused to emerge or accentuated.

To support the national health service's management of positive cases, and with the aim of activating suitable preventive measures, a medical support phone service was established - managed by UniSalute - available to Group employees.

Completion of the sale of Torre Velasca

In February 2021, the sale of the property in Piazza Velasca, located in Milan (Torre Velasca) was finalised as the condition precedent was met following the Public Administration's failure to exercise pre-emption rights. The sale price was €160m, resulting in a capital gain of €80.1m.

Settlement agreement regarding pending legal cases for corporate liability action against former directors and statutory auditors

In March 2021, with reference to the corporate liability action against several former directors and statutory auditors, approved by the Shareholders' Meetings of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni in the year 2013 and the relative pending legal cases, the Company signed a settlement agreement with all defendants which fully defines the two liability actions. This settlement agreement, which came into effect following the approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of UnipolSai and the other plaintiff companies of the Unipol Group and executed in full in 2021, in both its economic and procedural parts, resulted in the recognition of an overall gain of €42m, of which €29.7m pertaining to UnipolSai.

For more information on the terms and conditions of the above-mentioned agreement, please refer to the Information Document drafted pursuant to Art. 5 of the Related Party Transactions Regulation adopted by Consob with Resolution no. 17721 of 12 March 2010 as amended, provided on UnipolSai's institutional website.

Early repayment of UnipolSai subordinated loans maturing in 2021 and 2023

On 15 March and 28 April 2021, after obtaining the authorisation of the Supervisory Authority to exercise the right to early repayment on the part of the issuer, UnipolSai extinguished in full the subordinated loan (ISIN XS0130717134) for a nominal value of €300m, the contractual maturity of which had been scheduled for June 2021 and the subordinated loan (ISIN XS0173649798) in the residual nominal amount of €262m maturing in July 2023. The repayment of these loans is in line with a proactive debt management and aims to decrease the Company's financial leverage as a result of the issue of the RT1 instrument for a nominal value of €500m, finalised in the final quarter of 2020. In relation to the early repayment of the loans by UnipolSai, Unipol extinguished, for a residual nominal value equal to €268m, the outstanding loans previously granted by UnipolSai, when the latter had taken over the role of issuer of the subordinated loans originally issued by Unipol.

Exercise by UnipolSai of the tax realignment option (Decree Law no. 104/2020)

UnipolSai has taken advantage of the option set forth in Article 110, paragraph 8-bis of Decree Law 104/2020, which makes it possible to realign the values recognised for tax purposes of goodwill and other assets already recognised in the financial statements at 31 December 2019, to the values of such assets as set forth in the financial statements at 31 December 2020, against payment of a substitute tax of 3% of the higher value recognised for tax purposes. The realignment concerned goodwill totalling €318m and real estate valued at €24.8m, resulting in a substitute tax expense of €10.3m, of which €9.5m referring to goodwill and €0.7m referring to real estate. The substitute tax, to be paid in three annual instalments, the first of which was paid on 30 June 2021 within legal terms, was recognised in its entirety in the income statement in the first half of 2021.

As a result of the higher values recognised for tax purposes, UnipolSai achieved a benefit in terms of lower future IRES and IRAP taxes quantified at €104.6m, of which:

  • €98m referring to goodwill, which will translate into a reduction in current taxes starting from the year 2021, according to the amortisation plan established by tax regulations (50 years) for goodwill that has become deductible;

  • €6.6m referring to real estate, recognised in full in the income statement for the year 2021 due to the reabsorption of deferred tax liabilities previously recognised in the financial statements.

Equity investment in Banca Popolare di Sondrio S.p.A.

In 2021, partly through a reverse accelerated book-building procedure (RABB) and partly through market purchases, UnipolSai purchased 40,289,500 ordinary Banca Popolare di Sondrio ("BPS" or the "Bank") shares, equal to 8.89% of BPS share capital, in June 2021 increasing its equity investment to 43,126,000 BPS shares (9.51% of BPS share capital), taking into account the investment previously held. The transaction falls within the scope of UnipolSai's strategy to contribute to the development plans of the Bank, a business partner of the Unipol Group since 2010 within the Non-Life and Life bancassurance segment.

Fitch increases UnipolSai's rating to "A-"

On 10 June and 13 December 2021, the Fitch Ratings rating agency increased the Insurer Financial Strength Rating (IFSR) of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. two notches, from "BBB" to "A-". These increases were due to the recognition of the validity of the strategy and results achieved by the Group, particularly with respect to the decrease in investment portfolio concentration risk and the resulting capital strengthening in 2020, as well as the upgrade in Italy's rating (BBB/stable outlook) on 3 December 2021.

As a result, the ratings of the debt issues all improved by two notches as well:

  • the subordinated bonds of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. are now "BBB-";
  • the RT1 perpetual subordinated bond of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. is now "BB".

The rating agency maintained the outlook of the above-mentioned ratings at "stable".

UnipolSai presents "L'Italia che verrà – storie di aziende che progettano il futuro" (The Italy that will be - stories of companies designing our future)

In the course of 2021, UnipolSai carried out a project to showcase businesses that were able to stand out even during COVID-19 and continued to invest, design and plan, recognising in particular three areas of their activity: the relationship with the community in which they operate, the capacity to perform research and development and investment in young people.

With a view to receiving an ideal and proactive contribution to the project's development, UnipolSai requested the support of three major partners: CONFAPI, NOMISMA and Il Sole 24Ore.

With this project, UnipolSai aimed to strengthen relations with the world of Italian businesses, going beyond the broadly recognised role of insurance player to become an entity capable of accompanying companies on a path to growth and economic enhancement.

All of the companies admitted to "L'Italia che verrà" benefitted from broad visibility on the channels of UnipolSai and the initiative's partners throughout the programme, a free Legal Expenses policy and training courses for their employees, in collaboration with Unica Lab.

Share performance

Information on share performance

At the end of December 2021, the listed price of a UnipolSai share was €2.48, recording a rise of 14.3% in the last 12 months, versus increases of 23.7% in the FTSE Italia All-share index, of 23.0% in the FTSE MIB index and of 30.6% in the FTSE Italia All Share Insurance index.

Capitalisation values

Capitalisation at 31 December 2021 amounted to €7,018m (€6,140m at 31/12/2020).

Shareholding structure

The company is controlled by Unipol Gruppo, pursuant to Art. 2359, paragraph 1 of the Civil Code. The shareholding structure at 31 December 2021 is shown in the chart below:

The companies Unipol Finance, Unipol Investment and Unipolpart I are subsidiaries of Unipol Gruppo.

Operating performance

Although the pandemic continued in 2021, travel restrictions on individuals had less of an influence on the result, while the decline in MV TPL tariffs continued, reducing business profitability.

At 31 December 2021, direct insurance premiums, gross of reinsurance, stood at €9,590.9m (€9,870.4m at 31/12/2020, - 2.8%).

Non-Life direct premiums at 31 December 2021, amounting to €6,721.2m, were down slightly compared to €6,771.7m recorded at 31 December 2020 (-0.7%), owing to the good results obtained by the Non-MV sector, which made it possible to absorb the decline seen in the MV sector for the most part.

Indeed, there was a 4.1% decrease in the MV sector on the figures recorded at 31 December 2020, with premiums equal to €3,582.7m (€3,735.9m at 31/12/2020), values which still reflected both the strong competition in this market and the measures adopted by the Company to protect customers. These include in particular the #UnMesePerTe initiative, which from April 2020 and throughout 2021, for customers who had not already made use of it on first renewal of the policy, offered UnipolSai customers a 1/12 discount (one month) in the premium previously paid.

Indeed, growth was confirmed for Land Vehicle Hulls, with premiums amounting to €798.9m (+5.6%).

Non-MV premiums were up to €3,138.4m (+3.4% compared to 2020) due to the country's economic recovery and the commercial drive applied by the sales networks for these products.

On the claims front, in 2021, as already anticipated, although the restrictions on circulation enacted in the first half of the year were significant, they impacted the claims frequency less than in 2020. The Non-MV business posted positive performance, although it did suffer in the property classes from an increase caused by events of significant amounts.

Influenced by this context, the direct business combined ratio was 93.8% (86.3% at 31/12/2020), with a loss ratio, inclusive of the balance of other technical items, of 64.0% (56.9% at 31/12/2020) and an expense ratio at 29.8% of premiums written (29.4% at 31/12/2020). Please note that there was a moderate effect from the run-off of reserves from previous years, which in any event impacted the loss ratio by 4.1 points compared to 7.4 points in the previous year.

In the Life segment, the year recorded a decrease of 7.4%, with direct business premiums amounting to €2,869.7m at 31 December 2021. The comparison with the results of the previous year was impacted by the presence in 2020 of several non-recurring contracts of significant amounts. The commercial strategy, considering the level recorded by market interest rates, was primarily aimed at preserving the profit balance of the segregated funds, orienting premium income towards multisegment or class III products, which closed with significant growth.

As far as financial investment management is concerned, in 2021 the gross profitability of the financial investment portfolio continued to be influenced by reinvestment rates that remained at low values, but in any event obtained a yield of 3.6% of the invested assets (3.1% at 31/12/2020), of which 3.2% relating to the coupons and dividends component.

In real estate asset management, in the course of 2021 the renovation of properties continued and initiatives intended to reduce the vacancy rate of the real estate portfolio for third-party use became more incisive, thanks to a context of economic recovery which favoured leases.

As regards sales, aside from the finalisation of the sale of the Piazza Velasca property (Torre Velasca) in Milan for a price of €160m, generating a capital gain of €80m, properties or property units deemed non-performing continued to be sold as well.

UnipolSai closed the year 2021 with a net profit of €648.1m, compared to €814.3m in 2020, a year characterised by a net decline in claims due to the lockdowns imposed by the government to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aspects with the most impact on the operating performance are as follows:

A. At the end of 2021, premiums were €9,874.5m, of which €9,590.9m in direct business, with breakdown as follows:

Amounts in €m
Premiums Non-Life Life Total 2021 Total 2020 % Var. Var.on 2020
Direct business 6,721.2 2,869.7 9,590.9 9,870.4 (2.8) (279.5)
Indirect business 283.6 0.0 283.6 260.0 9.1 23.7
7,004.7 2,869.8 9,874.5 10,130.3 (2.5) (255.8)
Premiums ceded 284.3 5.9 290.2 288.5 0.6 1.7
Premiums retained 6,720.5 2,863.9 9,584.3 9,841.8 (2.6) (257.5)
% breakdown 70.1 29.9 100.0

The net retention of acquired premiums was 97.1%, substantially in line with the previous year (97.2%). The result from technical insurance management, which also includes operating expenses and allocation of the share of gains on investments, was overall positive for €745.9m (€926.2m in 2020) with the breakdown showing a positive €155.6m for the Life business and €590.3m for the Non-Life business.

  • B. Total operating expenses (including acquisition and collection commissions and other acquisition and administrative expenses) were €2,215.7m (+0.3% compared to 2020), with an incidence on (Life and Non-Life) premiums of 22.4% (21.8% in 2020). Net of reinsurers' commissions, total operating expenses were equal to €2,132.8m (+0.3% compared to 2020).
  • C. Investments and cash and cash equivalents (net of impairment) reached €48,935.8m (€48,813.5m in 2020), of which €5,401.5m (€5,085.7m in 2020) relating to investments in Class D.
  • D. Gains on investments and financial income, net of losses on investments and financial charges, excluding those benefiting policyholders that bear the risk and investments arising from pension fund management - Class D, amounted to €1,161.8m down €8.8m on 31 December 2020.

Net gains on investments and financial income, including net realised capital gains and impairment and reversals of impairment losses, amounted to €1,303.2m, increasing by €215.8m (+19.9%) compared with 31 December 2020.

  • E. Technical provisions for the Life and Non-Life businesses reached a total amount, at the end of 2021, of €44,238.9m (+1.5%); net of the reinsurer's share, they amounted to €43,733.9m (+1.6%). The technical provisions-premiums ratio was 185.3% in the Non-Life business (183.0% in 2020) and 1,089.3% in the Life business (991.4% in 2020).
  • F. Profit from ordinary operations amounted to €744.5m, while profit from extraordinary operations was also positive, and came to €134.3m, bringing pre-tax profit to €878.8m.

Direct premiums

Non-Life insurance business

The results from 2021 were affected by the continuation of the COVID-19 health emergency in the initial months of the year; the comparison with 2020 is not always representative of current trends, as last year there was a considerable decline in claims on the one hand and a slowdown in premiums on the other, due to the block on production activities and the restrictions adopted to limit infection.

Direct business premiums at 31 December 2021 amounted to €6,721.2m, down compared to premiums in 2020 by 0.7%, driven by the MV segment, which marked a 4.1% reduction, partially offset by growth of 3.4% in the Non-MV business. Also considering indirect business, premiums acquired during the year amounted to €7,004.7m (€7,031.6m in 2020).

In the MV business, the decline in premiums was due to the MV TPL business and caused by the decrease in the average premium, which was also affected by the #UnMesePerTe customer campaign discount, as well as the portfolio reduction. On the other hand, significant growth was confirmed for Land Vehicle Hulls.

In the Non-MV segment, premium growth was spread across all classes, with the exception of Goods, down slightly, and Accident, stable at 2020 levels.

In 2021, the Claims Department managed 1,1207,414 claims reported during the year for the Company (of which more than 77% have already been settled with payment) in addition to 381,946 claims from previous years existing at 1 January or reopened (of which nearly 63% already settled with payment).

"Fault" claims (Non-Card, Debtor Card or Natural Card) totalled 477,973, up by 10.5% (432,507 in 2020). In 2021, there was a generalised recovery in the number of claims (compared to 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic), which in any event remains at levels lower than pre-pandemic 2019.

Claims that present at least a Debtor Card claims handling totalled 272,531, up by 12.4% compared to the same period in the previous year.

Handler Card claims were 344,401 (including 80,850 Natural Card claims, claims between policyholders at the same company), up by 11.0%. The settlement rate in 2021 was 79.8%, down from the same period of last year (81.6%).

The weight of cases to which the Card agreement may be applied (both Handler Card and Debtor Card claims) out of total cases (Non-Card + Handler Card + Debtor Card) in 2021 came to 83.2% (82.8% in 2020).1

The average cost (amount paid plus amount reserved) for claims reported and handled (including claims reported late) decreased by 0.9% in 2021 (+6.1% in 2020). The average cost of the amount paid out declined by 1.6% (+4.1% in 2020).

The table below, regarding Italian direct business and for the main classes concerned, illustrates the claims settlement rate at 31 December 2021 and the comparison with 31 December 2020, obtained by comparing the number of claims paid out to the number of claims reported in the period or set aside at the end of the previous year, net of those cancelled as they were not followed up on.

Overall, charges relating to claims for the current and previous years came to €4,365.2m, and up compared with 2020 (+16.5%).

With regard to Italian direct business, claims paid from the current and previous years resulted in an outlay (net of coinsurers' share and recoveries, including appraisal costs) of €3,805.0m, a decrease of €361.1m compared with 2020 (- 8.7%).

1 "Debtor Card claims" are those claims managed by other companies for which their policyholders are fully or partially liable, and are settled through a specific clearing house set up at CONSAP.

"Handler Card claims" are those managed by companies whose policyholders are not liable, either fully or partially. In these cases, the company receives a lump-sum repayment from the counterparty's insurance company. Lastly, Non-Card claims are those which do not fall within the Card agreement.

Total non-life technical provisions reached €12,978.4m at the end of the year, an increase of €111.8m (+0.9% compared with 31/12/2020), amounting to 185.3% of premiums acquired (183.0% at 31/12/2020).

Operating expenses in the Non-Life business, including acquisition and collection commissions and other acquisition costs and administrative expenses, amounted to €1,979.5m compared with €1,982.6m in 2020. The impact on premiums written - direct business came to 29.8% (29.4% in 2020).

The technical result showed a positive balance of €590.3m (€936.1m in the previous year). The transfer of the share of net gains on investments came to €309.8m, compared with €156.3m in the previous year. Below we provide information on the technical performance of the main classes.

Direct premiums €617.6m (−0.2%) Number of claims reported 74,667 (−3.4%) Claims paid out €256.7m (+5.7%) Charges relating to claims €274.9m (+10.9%)

Accident premiums were basically aligned with the previous year: indeed, the recovery in this class suffered from the effects of the COVID emergency particularly in the first half of the year.

In the retail segment, there was a negative balance between the number of newly issued contracts and those that expired, although the numerous commercial initiatives activated generated satisfactory results, managing to provide a positive contribution to new business and support retention.

In the collective cover segment referring to significant customers, expiries were basically offset by new acquisitions. To offset the decline recorded in the first part of the year due to the pandemic, in certain cases economic relief was granted, in the form of discounts as well as insurance premium payment extensions.

The total cost of claims increased compared to 2020, although the class maintained a broadly positive technical balance.

Health

Direct premiums €186.2m (+2.4%) Number of claims reported 374,726 (+20.8%) Claims paid out €146.6m (+11.7%) Charges relating to claims €148.2m (+30.9%)

The Health class closed with premiums up compared to the previous year, especially thanks to the two initiatives linked to "Canvass Salute" and the new UnipolSai Salute 360° modular product. Incentives to the distribution network also contributed towards supporting business, offsetting the lower premiums referring to temporary COVID products, down in 2021 compared to 2020.

With respect to claims, the increase in the number of claims and as a result the relative cost depends on two factors:

  • the 2020 lockdowns entailed a generalised decline in healthcare services and, furthermore, in 2021 services resumed at an increased pace, to make up for those suspended in 2020;
  • claims from home quarantine, cover that the Company provided to the majority of its policyholders in March 2020, were paid out in the first half of 2021. Please note that, in the second half of 2021, the Company discontinued its offer of free home quarantine cover and, therefore, there was a proportionate reduction in the number of claims compared to the first half of 2021.

The factors cited above caused a deterioration in the class's technical balance.

Land Vehicle Hulls

Direct premiums €798.9m (+5.6%) Number of claims reported 311,245 (+16.4%) Claims paid out €422.5m (-4.0%) Charges relating to claims €506.3m (+21.5%)

2021 closed with further growth in premiums, linked to a positive trend in individual as well as cumulative policies. The increase in the number of contracts in the portfolio and recovery of the average premium, particularly on certain significant guarantees, such as Natural Events, are among the key factors affecting the growth in premiums. The number of claims and the relative cost rose significantly, in large part due to strong hail in the summer months, which caused a deterioration in the result, which in any event was confirmed as positive.

Fire

Direct premiums €582.1m (+6.8%) Number of claims reported 50,209 (−27.7%) Claims paid out €280.5m (−24.2%) Charges relating to claims €380.5m (+13.4%)

In the Fire class, the consistent increase in premiums compared to 2020 was confirmed in 2021, regarding both the Individuals and Businesses line. In this latter segment, the strong increase in premiums regards in particular businesses of more significant size, due to a general increase in tariffs on policies already in the portfolio and the acquisition of new risks in the market. With respect to individual and SME cover, the increase in premiums was instead more limited. As regards claims, they were down significantly in terms of number of claims as well as the amount of claims paid, essentially due to the decrease in damages from weather events, while the increase in the overall cost, caused by the increased weight of significant claims, led to a deterioration in the class's technical result.

Other Damage to Property

Direct premiums €616.7m (+2.9%) Number of claims reported 221,840 (-2.7%) Claims paid out €376.5m (+0.6%) Charges relating to claims €409.6m (+10.6%)

In the Other Damage to Property business, the general increase in premiums was confirmed, involving both the residences sector and the contracts sector, supported in large part by the Superbonus 110% which drove private building development.

Claims in all class sectors were down, while there was an increase in the overall cost of claims, also due to the deterioration in the Hail segment.

Land Vehicle TPL

Direct premiums €2,774.3m (−6.6%) Number of claims reported 477,973 (+10.5%) Claims paid out €1,810.4m (−11.3%) Charges relating to claims €2,027.1m (+19.3%)

In 2021, there was again a contraction in premiums as a result of the continuous decline in the average premium, which however slowed its downward trend starting from the second half of the year.

The number of vehicles insured in the single policy segment declined, primarily as a result of a lower contribution of new business. Instead, the growth recorded in the company car fleets segment, consistent with market trends, which reward innovative vehicle use methods (long-term rental and car sharing in particular), made it possible to ensure the overall stability of the portfolio.

Also during this year, investments continued to be made to support the Company's range of products and services, in particular the interest-free loan and the installation of "black boxes", a segment in which the Company has confirmed its position as leader with more than 4.0m devices installed and circulating and 45% penetration in the MV portfolio.

The number of claims reported increased compared to the previous year, but is still down compared to 2019, due to the measures linked to the pandemic crisis. Trends in claims reported and the average cost triggered growth in the overall cost compared to 2020, although it remained lower than in 2019.

The result of this class was confirmed as positive.

Other TPL

Direct premiums €701.0m (+2.3%) Number of claims reported 83,648 (+3.9%) Claims paid out €366.9m (−10.6%) Charges relating to claims €336.7m (+3.5%)

In the Other TPL class, premiums were up thanks to activities linked to the 110% Superbonus certification segment and the recovery in the Corporate segment.

The decline in the effects of the pandemic resulted in a recovery in certain activities, with an ensuing increase in the number of claims reported and the relative costs.

The class result was confirmed as broadly positive, as a result of the recovery policies enacted and the careful risk selection policy.

Credit and Bonds

Direct premiums €55.2m (+16.8%) Number of claims reported 345 (-29.3%) Claims paid out €13.0m (−42.9%) Charges relating to claims -€25.9m (-188.6%)

The year 2021 closed with a strong recovery in premiums, attributable first and foremost to market trends influenced by the high number of tenders called, also within the scope of the NRRP. Investments also resumed in the real estate sector, with the resulting new request for sureties for agreements with municipal authorities and to counterguarantee advances paid by promissee buyers.

Underwriting policies continue to be highly cautious, with accurate assessments of the effects of the pandemic. The Company's well-established customer assistance is confirmed, after verifying that their creditworthiness continues to be satisfactory.

The downward trend in new claims reported was confirmed. Settlements for the year were also down considerably, despite several enforcements linked to the energy supply world, given the anomalous trends recorded in that market in the second half of 2021. Albeit with the necessary focus on the specific context, recovery and/or compensation actions continued with respect to policyholders in relation to claims opened in previous years. Provisioning remained oriented to criteria of particular prudence, with positive effects in the medium/long term. The class's technical result was broadly positive for 2021.

In the Credit segment, the Company operates only on request of customers without any commercial initiatives required. Premiums confirmed a marginal amount, based on extremely modest, insignificant values.

Financial losses

Direct premiums €63.5m (+4.4%) Number of claims reported 31,258 (+3.3%) Claims paid out €20.0m (-7.7%) Charges relating to claims €18.8m (+19.7%)

Growth in premiums regards both risks linked to circulation, primarily consisting of the class with accessory cover included in MV offer packages, and risks linked to businesses, with the exception of Tourism, which continues to be impacted by the pandemic crisis.

The increase in claims reported and the total cost did not influence the class's positive performance.

Legal Expenses

Direct premiums €82.1m (+6.8%) Number of claims 7,898 reported (+7.4%) Claims paid out €13.1m (+17.3%) Charges relating to claims €8.4m (-35.6%)

All segments contributed to premium growth, in particular MV, due to an increase in the average premium for both individual and cumulative policies.

The increase in the number of claims reported and the amount paid was influenced by the comparison with the extraordinary situation last year and did not jeopardise the positive performance of this class.

Assistance

Direct premiums €209.3m (+5.8%) Number of claims reported 397,131 (+14.7%) Claims paid out €76.7m (−4.7%) Charges relating to claims €87.9m (+17.5%)

Thanks to the revision of the content of the products offered and increasing tariff personalisation, as well as initiatives intended to limit the costs of services, the class closed 2021 continuing with the trend of improvement in its main quality indicators and in line with the profitability recovery plans aiming to bring it back to the best market levels. The year closed with premiums up, due to the increase in the average premium, while the increase in claims reported as well as costs was due to the rebound compared to the reductions observed in 2020 triggered by pandemic-linked restrictions. The class's result was confirmed as positive and improving over previous years.

Goods in Transit

Direct premiums €14.0m (-2.9%) Number of claims reported 1,213 (−3.9%) Claims paid out €3.2m (−15.8%) Charges relating to claims €0.9m (+132.6%)

The actual number for 2021 underscores the limited reduction in total premiums, due primarily to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Italian economy, which reflect in the reduction of average premiums. The portfolio recorded growth in the number of policies, also as a result of commercial actions for the development of this class. Claims reduced both in terms of claims reported and the cost paid, confirming this class's positive technical margin.

Marine Vessels

Direct premiums €6.0m (+2.5%) Number of claims reported 410 (+9.3%) Claims paid out €5.4m (+14.9%) Charges relating to claims €4.2m (+21.9%)

The Marine Vessels portfolio includes primarily leisure vessels, a segment for which the increase in premiums was confirmed in 2021 due to the increase in the number of policies as well as the relative average premium. Claims rose compared to 2020, in terms of number as well as costs, which saw a considerable drop in claims, linked to the pandemic context and the reduction in damages from weather events, as well as the absence of significant claims.

The new Non-Life Products

In the MV TPL and Land Vehicle Hulls sector, during 2021, the new product "Contratto Base" was released, created following the initiation on 3 May 2021 of a complex online comparison system between insurance companies operating in Italy in the MV TPL business. This is the MV TPL contract relating to vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds for private use developed by the Ministry of Economic Development, which provides the minimum cover required by law for compulsory TPL insurance for the circulation of motor vehicles according to the "standard format" defined by regulations. This cover can be supplemented with "Additional Conditions" freely offered by insurance companies. The consumer can obtain a quote by accessing PreventIvass through the Companies' websites or directly on the website of IVASS or the Ministry of Economic Development.

It is also worth noting:

  • the new "Unibox Safe" telematic device designed to guarantee even greater security to customers as it includes an Emergency Call system that provides:
    • speakerphone contact with the support centre, which customers can activate at any time when needed;
    • automatic activation of roadside and medical assistance to guarantee timely support.

Unibox Safe is recharged by solar energy, so it is also sustainable; furthermore, it continues to meet customer saving expectations, allowing for a reduction in the premium based on the number of kilometres travelled.

  • The new "SuperEasy Più" telematic device, part of the self-installing device range, enabling customers to boost the level of protection of their vehicle and the likelihood of finding the vehicle if it is stolen.
  • The new "UnipolSai PiùStrade" product, offered as of 1 November 2021 to meet the specific insurance needs of car makers, banks and financial companies that intend to offer their customers insurance guarantees and services to complement their primary business.

In the Non-MV segment, the year 2021 was characterised by the following activities:

  • The new product "UnipolSai InViaggio", for trips taken for any reason and valid all over the world, which provides standard guarantees as well as the possibility for a reimbursement of travel expenses in the event of pandemics or epidemics and in the case of a medical or administrative block required due to quarantine or document irregularities.
  • The new product "UnipolSai Trasporto sicuro e semplice" is dedicated to the world of Goods Transport by Road, which includes Road Carrier TPL cover (Carrier TPL) combined with cover relating to Damages to the Goods transported on behalf of the party entitled (DPC). This is therefore an essentially new product as it includes both guarantees ("dual policy"). The product is intended for small goods transport companies that operate as road carriers.

Life business and Pension Funds

Total premiums (direct and indirect business) for 2021 came to €2,869.8m, down significantly compared with the previous year (−7.4%).

Direct premiums acquired during the year totalled €2,869.7m. The breakdown into individual and collective policies and between periodic premiums and single premiums is shown in the following table:

Total 2,870 3,099 (229) (7.4)

The individual policy sector recorded a 9.2% decline compared to 2020, which benefited from several non-recurring contracts of significant amounts.

Please also note that premiums for single-premium revaluable products remained limited to customers reinvesting sums deriving from the benefits due from the Company on the basis of other insurance contracts.

Again in the individual sector, Class IV premiums continued to increase (+27.3%) which shows the growing interest in products with long-term care coverage. Amongst the latter, as illustrated below as well as concerns New Life Products, the new product UnipolSai Autonomia Costante has been marketed since February 2021, enhancing the offer in a sector deemed fundamental and destined to develop in the near future considering current demographic and social trends.

Class III premiums increased (+64.7%) as a result of the good performance of the Multisegment and Unit-linked products.

Premiums on collective policies showed a slight decrease compared with the same period of the previous year (-4.7%), due entirely to Class VI (-17.4%).

The increase in first year premiums compared to the previous year (+20.4%) can be attributed to a general growth in business across all classes: Class I premiums increased by 12.4%, Class III by 52.3% and Class IV by 77.2%.

Operating expenses, including acquisition and collection commissions and other acquisition costs and administrative expenses totalled €153.3m (up by 6.4% compared to 31/12/2020), with a 5.4% impact on premiums written - direct business (4.7% in the previous year). The growth in the impact was due primarily to the decrease in the volume of premiums.

The amounts paid (direct and indirect business) came to a total of €2,835.8m, a decrease of 20.5% compared with the same period of the previous year, broken down as follows:

Amounts in €m 2021 2020 % Variation on 2020
Class I 1,788 1,709 4.6
Class III 81 64 27.1
Class IV n.s.
Class V 382 385 (0.8)
Class VI 584 1,410 (58.6)
Total 2,836 3,568 (20.5)

The significant decrease recorded in Class VI compared to the previous year (-58.6%) was mainly impacted by the liquidation in 2020 of the Cometa pension fund, in the amount of €1,038m, as the mandate had come to an end. The following table shows the breakdown of the amounts paid according to the reason for payment, compared to the previous year.

Amounts in €m 2021 2020 % Variation on 2020
Capital and annuities accrued 915 1,923 (52.4)
Surrenders and advances 1,671 1,422 17.6
Claims 244 218 11.5
Settlement expenses 5 4 4.1
Indirect business 1 1 (9.3)
Total 2,836 3,568 (20.5)

The net decline was basically due to a combination of a number of factors: on one hand, the component of maturing payments (capital and annuities) recorded a decrease of 52.4%, impacted by the comparison, already noted previously, of the removal of the Cometa Fund in 2020, as the mandate had come to an end, and on the other the increase in payments for redemptions and advances (+17.6%), with collective policies accounting for the bulk, especially in Class I, and on certain pension funds. The item relating to claims was up due to settlements referring to the pandemic (+11.5%).

Technical provisions for the direct and indirect portfolios came to €31,260.5m, an increase of 1.8% compared with the previous year.

The technical account result shows a positive balance of €155.6m, compared to -€9.9m in the previous year, due to the lower financial profitability linked in particular to the securities portfolio not covering segregated funds.

Pension Funds

Even within the current difficult economic context, UnipolSai has maintained its considerable position within the supplementary pension schemes market. In the second half of 2021, the Company was awarded management of the UBI Pension Fund, with initial assets of roughly €10m.

The Company managed a total of 21 Occupational Pension Fund mandates at 31 December 2021 (17 of them for accounts "with guaranteed capital and/or minimum return").

Resources under management totalled €4,031.6m (€3,388.6m with guaranteed capital) at the same date.

The assets of the open pension fund "UnipolSai Previdenza FPA" amounted to €912.5m; the fund has 40,174 members.

The new Life Products

In 2021, with a view to continuing to optimise the allocation of new business, the Company updated the Segregated Funds of the Class I and Multisegment products, specifically the Segregated Fund for "Investimento Garantito Fidelity" products, dedicated to policyholders that decide to reinvest the sums deriving from benefits from other insurance contracts. The new version of the product differs from the previous one only due to the reference Segregated Fund, while the other features of the product have remained the same.

In the second half of 2021, the Company updated the fund underlying the "Multiramo Investimento MixSostenibile" product.

Starting from 10 February 2021, the offer of Protection products was enhanced with a new individual product with longterm care coverage, "UnipolSai Autonomia Costante", which joins the previous one and requires a constant premium throughout the term of the contract. The main changes introduced concern:

  • the recognition of increased initial annuity to cover initial unforeseen expenses;
  • an increase in the age of entry;
  • the possibility to obtain reduced benefits if premium payments are suspended, starting from the eighth premium year.

As a further distinctive element, the possibility is provided to those who will subscribe the new Long Term Care product to obtain free of charge the integrated offer of services and benefits provided by UniSalute.

July 2021 saw the marketing launch of the product "TCM Gruppi Easy", which consists in 1-year insurance in the event of death for groups of employees, with fixed premium amounts for all employees and with simplified underwriting. The product offers three premium amounts, each of which envisaging a different level of insured capital that varies according to age bracket.

Sales and settlement organisation

Structure of the sales organisation

At 31 December 2021, the agency network comprised 2,213 agencies (2,314 at 31/12/2020), of which 2,208 private agencies and 5 corporate agencies, employing 4,051 agents.

The main measures taken to support the business included:

  • the entry of 263 new Family Welfare Specialists, 177 Business Specialists and 217 sub-agents. At 31 December 2021, the specialist network consisted of: 1,906 salespeople, of which 1,036 Family Welfare Specialists, 680 Business Specialists and 190 long-term rental specialists;
  • change initiatives intended to accelerate the use of new digital instruments by agencies, such as the Advanced Electronic Signature (AES), with more than 6.3m digital transactions at 31 December 2021 (32.0% of the total, compared to 21.0% at 31/12/2020), and the use of Multichannelling in the Agency, making it possible to support both renewals and new business (for the latter, limited to the Km&Servizi product);
  • further evolution of the UnipolSai website and App to manage, increase and improve the services offered. At 31 December 2021, 4.3m customers had registered in the reserved area. At the same date, nearly 4m had downloaded the App;
  • improvement in the Customer contactability rate (privacy, email and/or phone), which at 31 December 2021 had reached 63.4% of total active Customers compared to 56.1% at 31 December 2020; also due to this result, commercial communications reached 167m at 31 December 2021, up significantly compared to 2020, of which 155m directed to customers outside contract expiry timeframes to offer new services and products or inform them of the Company's initiatives.

In 2021, the Large Scale Retail and New Distribution Channels division continued with the placement of insurance products (Non-Life and Life), through the channels - Coop and Automotive - that make up its distribution network, and in the management of Utility and Flexible Benefit projects.

Settlement structure

The Claims Department of UnipolSai Assicurazioni conducts settlement activities for the classes MV, General TPL (including Legal Expenses), Accident and Property (Fire, Theft, Technological Risk, Mechanical Breakdowns and Other Damage to Property).

For specific types of claims (ex. Bonds, Transport, Hail, Assistance), settlement is assigned to centralised structures reporting to the Insurance General Directorate or to external providers (mainly under specific brokered contracts), while in the Health class, settlement is assigned to UniSalute, a Group company that specialises in the Healthcare sector.

The following actions were carried out in 2021 to boost the efficiency of settlement processes:

• Black Box: the project launched in partnership with UnipolTech continued, aiming to improve the effectiveness of the boxes and increase the available dataset. With a view to developing the telematic settlement process and innovatively using the information provided by black boxes for MV claims, in 2021 the new Unico 2.0 telematic portal was released, re-engineering the previous application and applying a re-design, also with the aim of facilitating the adjuster's decision-making process.

The optimisation of the Real Time 2.0 process continued, which envisages the opening of a claim from the moment of a crash detected in black box data, at the same time triggering initial contact with the policyholder and anticipating the information collection stage.

  • Anti-fraud Engine: again in 2021, activities continued for the improvement of the criteria adopted to identify fraud, guaranteeing to the Company an adequate system for combatting fraudulent phenomena through the evolution of the new anti-fraud engine and the platform created for the management of relationship charts, which makes it possible to identify the correlation between events and parties and more easily perform advanced searches in order to support investigations.
  • Damages from injuries: as part of the improvement of the current injury management process, in September 2021 the new Injuries Sheet was released, with the addition of a function associated with the Injuries calculator, also making it possible to perform different calculations for individual damage items.
  • CPM/SPM: the Medical Report Centre (CPM) is a service offered to the injured customer with non-severe injuries (MV, Accident or General TPL), who is given the option to perform the medical-legal examination directly at the offices of the Company and then to be paid promptly. The process was optimised for the booking of the visits by enhancing the customer's contract service and introducing the use of an electronic agenda for the booking of medical visits. In addition to the CPMs located in the Territorial Settlement offices, covering particularly vast areas or with a high incidence of examinations, the Company relies on Medical Booking Services (Servizi di Prenotazione Medica, SPM), for which the service is instead performed directly at the doctor's office of the independent expert, where the adjuster also goes with the required settlement tools. In order to improve the customer experience by offering innovative services, it is now possible to make direct CPM and SPM bookings from the UnipolSai App. At the end of 2021, geographical coverage was guaranteed by 78 CPMs and 332 SPMs.
  • Prompt Settlement: aside from continuous appraiser network monitoring, as of April 2021 this function was introduced, with the separation of damage item costs (estimate, towing, etc.) for increasingly accurate management of claims and the relative costs.
  • Video appraisal: this is a service which enables the independent expert to perform a remote appraisal and gather documents supporting the virtual resolution of the claim. This solution is currently being developed and will aim to allow for a considerable reduction in appraisal execution time, cost containment for site inspections, geolocation certification and the elimination of travel time for the customer and the adjuster.
  • Use of satellite data for the General Classes: the Lorentz Advanced Weather Data Collection Tool enables the adjuster and the independent expert to use meteorological information, provided by the main weather providers, for the optimal settlement of the claim. The tool has been implemented since June 2021, providing an additional view that integrates weather data with the trips recorded on the black box to verify claim consistency. The on demand use of the Copernicus Satellite Weather Data service is also active for the geolocation and mapping of flood events, helping to identify flooded areas after the event takes place. Thanks to these tools, the Company may achieve quicker investigation times and more precise estimates, in addition to identifying any fraudulent claims.

• General Classes Direct Repair: to offer an innovative service to customers, similarly to what is done for the MV Classes, there is a "direct repair intervention" process for General Classes (Piped Water, Research and Damage Repair, Weather, Plates and Electrical) to repair the damage without the Customer having to pay anything, and with consequent elimination of the excess, where present.

Operating and settlement expenses

Operating expenses, which include acquisition and collection commissions and other acquisition costs and administrative expenses, amounted to a total of €2,215.7m compared with €2,209.7m in 2020 (respectively €2,132.8m and €2,126.7m net of commissions received from reinsurers), an increase of 0.3% compared with 31 December 2020. As expected, administrative expenses rose compared to last year, which benefited from the effect of the cost containment actions deployed to deal with the effects of the pandemic during the first lockdown.

Acquisition costs were down slightly, referring only to indirect business and, for direct business, showing different trends for commissions and other acquisition costs. The former were up due to a different business mix as well as the change in the variable portion due to the claims recorded; while other acquisition costs were down as a result of the elimination of network support actions activated by the Company in 2020 during the most critical phases of the lockdown and lower expenses incurred in 2021 for advertising and sales campaigns.

The relative impact on premiums increased, from 21.8% to 22.4%, also as a result of the reduction in premiums.

Settlement expenses in the Non-Life and Life businesses came to €446.3m, slightly up on the figure recorded in 2020 (€445.9m).

Operating expenses (acquisition costs and administrative expenses) and settlement expenses

Acquisition and collection commissions and other acquisition costs totalled €1,804.2m (€1,820.6m in 2020) and other administrative expenses came to €411.6m (+5.8%), with impacts on premiums of 18.3% and 4.2%, respectively (18.0% and 3.8% in 2020).

Amounts in €m

Reinsurance

Indirect business

Total premiums of inwards reinsurance acceptances reached a total of €283.6m at 31 December 2021 (€260.0m at 31/12/2020), nearly entirely attributable to the Non-Life business.

In the Non-Life business, the values refer mainly to the treaty entered into starting from 2020 with the subsidiary UniSalute, which calls for the proportional ceding of 50% of Health and Accident business.

Reinsurance ceded

With regard to the risks underwritten in the Non-Life business, the reinsurance strategy proposed the same cover structures in place in 2020, maximising the effectiveness of the main non-proportional treaties. Also for the Azzurro RE II CAT Bond issued in 2020, the renewal took place in continuity, with the exception of the acquisition of Bridge cover to protect from Earthquake events with a view to risk mitigation.

The following cover was also acquired:

  • excess of loss treaties for the protection of MV TPL, General TPL, Fire (by risk and by event), Land Vehicle Hull Atmospheric Events, Theft, Accident and Transport portfolios;
  • stop loss treaty for the Hail class;
  • proportional treaties for: Technological risk (C.A.R. Contractors' All Risks -, Erection all Risks and Decennale Postuma - Ten-year Building Guarantee), Bonds (the retention of which is then protected by a "risk attaching" excess of loss), Aviation (Accident, Aircraft and TPL, the retention of which is protected by a "loss attaching" excess of loss), Legal Expenses, "D & O" and "Cyber" third-party liability.

To minimise counterparty risk, reinsurance coverage continued to be spread out and placed with the major professional reinsurers that have been given a high credit rating by major rating agencies, in order to provide a comprehensive and competitive service. As regards: Legal Expenses and part of Transport risks, these were instead ceded to specialised reinsurers and/or specialist Group companies.

Premiums ceded in the direct Non-Life business amounted to €283.4m at 31 December 2021 compared with €281.0m in the previous year. The retention ratio in the Non-Life business came to 95.8% at 31 December 2021, unchanged compared with the previous year (95.8%).

Also in the Life business, the renewal of covers relating to 2021 occurred fully in line with that already in place, therefore the risks underwritten in the Life business are mainly covered with two proportional treaties, one for individual risks and one for collective risks in excess of the risk premium. Retention is protected with a non-proportional cover in excess of loss by event that regards the Life and/or Accident classes. There are also two proportional covers for Long Term Care guarantees and one proportional cover for Individual Serious Illnesses.

Premiums ceded in Life direct business amounted to €5.9m at 31 December 2021, basically unchanged compared with the same period of the previous year (€6.0m).

The retention ratio in the Life business came to 99.8% at 31 December 2021, unchanged compared with 2020 (99.8%).

Operations to combat fraud and claims management

Operations to combat fraud

With regard to combatting fraud, Italian Decree Law no. 1 of 24 January 2012, converted with amendments into Italian Law no. 27 of 24 March 2012, led to the issue by IVASS of Regulation no. 44 of 9 August 2012, which states that an annual report must be prepared and sent to the Authorities containing the information necessary to assess the efficiency of processes, systems and people in order to guarantee the adequacy of the company organisation in relation to the objective of preventing and combating fraud in the MV TPL class.

The same Decree Law also requires insurance companies to provide an estimate of the reduced charges relating to claims arising from verification of fraud in their Management Report or in the Notes to the Financial Statements annexed to the annual financial statements and to publish it on their websites or using another appropriate form of disclosure.

Pursuant to and in accordance with Art. 30, paragraph 2 of Italian Decree Law no. 1/2012, the estimate of the reduction of charges for claims arising from this activity for 2021 totals approximately €37m.

This estimate consists of the sum of provisions/forecasts of expense for claims to be investigated for antifraud purposes that were settled without follow-up in 2021, regardless of the year when they are generated.

Register of complaints

From January to December 2021 there were a total (pursuant to the provisions of ISVAP Regulation no. 24 of 19 May 2008 and subsequent amendments) of 12,485 complaints for UnipolSai, 11,939 relating to Non-Life business and 546 relating to Life business, with an impact on policies in the portfolio of 0.034%, down by 23.68% compared with 31 December 2020.

11,809 replies had been sent by UnipolSai at 31 December 2021, while 676 complaints were in the assessment phase. The average response times were 16.06 days. 4,603 complaints were accepted, 5,749 were rejected and 1,457 were settled.

Disputes

MV TPL claims with cases in civil proceedings pending at 31 December 2021 amounted to 46,443, basically in line with the same period of 2020.

Also in this area, during 2021, disputes relating to 16,955 claims were settled.

Investments and cash and cash equivalents

At 31 December 2021 the amount of investments and cash and cash equivalents, net of depreciation of property, plant and equipment and taking account of impairment, equalled €48,935.8m.

76.8% of commitments were comprised of investments in bonds and other fixed-yield securities, shares and holdings of mutual funds and other financial investments. Investments in Group companies and other investees amounted to 8.7%, while investments in properties came to 2.3%. Investments relating to benefits linked to investment funds, market indices and assets from pension fund management accounted for 11.0%. Bank liquidity amounted to 0.8%.

Real Estate Management

The Company's real estate assets at the end of the year amounted to €1,140.3m, down compared with €1,240.6m at 31 December 2020.

In the course of 2021, within a difficult, albeit recovering, scenario, driven by the logistics and residential and high-value office segments, UnipolSai continued to enhance and develop its real estate assets. Furthermore, activities aimed at reducing the vacancy rate of the real estate portfolio for third-party use have become more incisive, which will make it possible to reduce unrented spaces, as a result generating an increase in rental income.

As concerns sales, aside from the finalisation of the sale in Milan of the Piazza Velasca property (Torre Velasca), several properties or property units considered non-performing were sold, facilitated by the support received by the sector from the tax incentives promoted by the Italian government, which gave a renewed impulse to the market of real estate to be renovated.

Overall, the consideration from the sale of real estate disposed of during the year amounted to €170.9m, resulting in net capital gains of €82.8m and with a reduction in the company's real estate assets equal to roughly €96m.

The requalification and development of real estate assets continued, regarding more than 60 properties for an amount in excess of €27m, a trend which in Italy was accentuated by the tax incentives promoted by the government, despite the difficulty in obtaining raw materials and the resulting international increase in prices.

The main projects developed over the course of the period regard office real estate located in the areas of Milan and Turin.

Lastly, please note that a property owned by the Company located in Milan at Corso di Porta Romana 19 obtained the BREEAM Certification with a level of Excellent in February 2021. The building was recently renovated and redeveloped with high quality standards, combining respect for sustainability parameters and energy efficiency, such so as to make it possible to obtain the BREEAM Certification, which is currently recognised as the top Sustainability Assessment Method for buildings.

Investments in Group companies and other investees

The total amount of the investments in Group companies and other investees totalled €4,263.3m (€4,312.7m at 31/12/2020), of which €3,677.6m refers to shares and holdings of investees (€3,530.0m at 31/12/2020), €9.4m consists of bonds issued by Group companies (€9.4m at 31/12/2020) and €576.3m in loans to Group companies (€773.2m at 31/12/2020).

Details on the investments held and the relevant changes are contained in attachments 6 and 7 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, respectively.

The breakdown of investments by business segment was as follows:

Amounts in €k 2021 2020
Insurance Companies 1,550,963 1,550,843
Banks 311,681 311,681
Financial companies 794,074 715,205
Real estate companies 558,115 512,889

Management companies distributing mutual funds 11,490 6,440
Other companies or entities 448,531 398,685
Total 3,677,557 3,530,048

At 31 December 2021, investments rose from €3,530.0m to €3,677.6m, with an increase of €147.5m compared to 31 December 2020 (+4.2%).

This change was mainly due to:

  • the subscription of the €40m capital increase of Gruppo UNA, the capitalisation of Meridiano Secondo for €45m, Nexitalia, Centri Medici Dyadea and Cambiomarcia for €5m;
  • establishment and capitalisation of UnipolPay with payments totalling €27.3m;
  • subscription of the share capital increase of UnipolSai Nederland Bv for €75m, which previously distributed part of the Share Premium reserve for €23m;
  • dissolution of UnipolSai Servizi Consortili in liquidazione for a value of €31.7m;
  • net value adjustments totalling €0.6m.

For additional information on the changes in the equity investments during the period, reference is made to Part B, section 2.2 - Investments in Group companies and other investees.

At 31 December 2021 bonds issued by Group companies and other investees amounted to €9.4m (unchanged compared to 31/12/2020), all classified under long-term investments, mainly comprising:

  • Profit Participating Bonds for a residual value of €6.8m, issued by the associates Garibaldi S.C.A. (€5.1m) and Isola S.C.A. (€1.8m), as part of the Porta Nuova real estate project;
  • Profit Participating Bonds for a residual value of €1.1m, linked to loans to the company Ex Var as part of the Porta Nuova real estate project.

With reference to these investments connected to the Porta Nuova real estate project, it is estimated that the future collections, expected in two tranches in July 2023 and April 2025, will guarantee the recovery of the remaining investment, plus additional proceeds, the quantification of which is currently uncertain as it relates to the outcome of the guarantees issued to the purchaser.

The item also includes the bonds issued by the investee Syneteristiki for €1.5m.

Loans to Group companies amounted to €576.3m (€773.2m at 31/12/2020). The item includes:

  • a loan taken out in favour of the holding company Unipol Gruppo for €300m, disbursed as part of the sale to Unipol of the investment in Unipol Banca in the course of 2020;
  • a loan to UnipolRental for €230m (€123.9m at 31/12/2020);
  • a loan to Meridiano Secondo for €36.8m (unchanged compared to 31/12/2020);
  • a loan to UCI for €3.5m disbursed in 2021;
  • a loan to Borsetto for €6.0m (€6.0m at 31/12/2020);
  • a loan to Butterfly for a nominal amount of €0.1m, wholly written off (unchanged compared to 31/12/2020).

The net decrease in this item, totalling €196.9m, was primarily due to the following transactions:

  • Unipol Gruppo repaid in full for €267.8m the loans granted in relation to the transactions during which the former company Unipol Assicurazioni took over the role of issuer, replacing the holding company Unipol Gruppo, of the Unipol 7% and Unipol 5.66% bond loans;
  • disbursement to the subsidiary UnipolRental of an additional amount of €106m;
  • taking out the loan in favour of the investee Ufficio Centrale Italiano (UCI), for €3.5m;
  • total repayment of €7m on the loan to the subsidiary UnipolTech;
  • early repayment by UnipolReC of the residual share, equal to roughly €30.8m, of the loan disbursed by UnipolSai, with the resulting full extinction of the loan;
  • full repayment by the subsidiary Cambiomarcia of the loan totalling €0.9m.

Other financial investments

Financial operations in 2021 were consistent with the Investment Policy guidelines adopted by the Company and with recommendations of the Group Investments Committee and Financial Investments Committee.

The criteria of high liquidity of investments and prudence were the guidelines of the investment policy, maintaining the necessary consistency with the liability profile. The investment policy applied the criteria of optimising the portfolio's risk-return profile.

With a view to simplifying the asset portfolio, the reduction of level 2 structured securities according to the IFRS13 hierarchy continued, both through sales and when the securities reached their natural maturity. The following table shows the changes that took place during the year.

Structured Securities

Amounts in €m 2021 2020 Change
Level 1 26.0 25.8 0.2
Level 2 251.8 271.2 (19.4)
Level 3 1.5 1.5
Total 279.3 298.5 (19.2)

2021 was characterised by operations focused on bonds and stocks. There was a decrease in the weight of the investment in government securities and bonds of financial corporate issuers against an increase in bonds of industrial corporate issuers.

Trading in interest-rate derivatives, in the Non-Life and Life portfolios, was functional to optimising strategies to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates.

Interest rate risk

The duration of the class C investment portfolio, an indicator of the Company's interest rate risk exposure, was 6.53 years at 31 December 2021. With specific reference to the bond portfolio, the duration was 8.31 years.

Liquidity risk

In the construction of the investment portfolio hedging provisions, priority is given to financial instruments that can be quickly transformed into cash and quantitative limits are specified for the purchases of securities that do not guarantee a rapid sale and/or a sale at fair conditions, because of their type or specific terms.

In that view, the Company constantly monitors cash flow matching between assets and liabilities in order to limit, particularly for segregated funds which no longer receive new business, the need to liquidate investments without adequate advance notice.

Performance of Group companies

The financial statements of (direct and indirect) subsidiaries and associates were filed pursuant to Art. 2429 of the Civil Code. The key figures of the main subsidiaries are reported below.

Insurance Companies

Incontra Assicurazioni recorded a €15.4m profit at 31 December 2021 (profit of €14.9m at 31/12/2020), with premiums of €109.2m, up compared to the previous year (€84.3m in 2020, +29.5%), for the most part concentrated in the Health and Pecuniary Losses classes. The gross technical provisions came to €344.8m (€328.0m at 31/12/2020).

Linear, a company specialised in direct sales (online and call centre) of MV products, in 2021 generated a profit of €12.6m (€22.1m at 31/12/2020). The decrease in the result was primarily due to an increase in the frequency of MV TPL claims (and the resulting increase in the loss ratio). Total gross premiums at €185.5m remained in line with 2020 (€185.3m). The partnership for the sale of Home Assistance insurance with Hera, an Italian multiutility based in Bologna, generated premiums written for €2.5m in 2021 (€2.2m at 31/12/2020). The contribution of the product "Poste Guidare Sicuri LN", placed through the Poste Italiane network, was also positive, recording premiums of €3.1m. Contracts in the portfolio at the end of 2021 were close to 674k units (+1.9%), an all-time high for the Company.

SIAT recorded a roughly €4.2m profit in 2021 (€3.4m at 31/12/2020) with total gross premiums (direct and indirect) at €151.2m (€149.4m in 2020). The increase is primarily attributable to the Goods and Aviation sectors, while for the Hulls segment there was a decrease (primarily ascribable to direct business) correlated with the portfolio reform, following the actions undertaken for the necessary improvement of the technical balance.

UniSalute confirms its leadership in the Healthcare segment, increasing direct premiums by 7.5%. Total premiums (including indirect business) amounted to €553m (€509.5m at 31/12/2020), up by 8.5%. The year 2021 recorded a profit of €45.1m, up compared to the previous year (€42.3m in 2020, +6.7%).

Arca Assicurazioni achieved a net profit at 31 December 2021 of €30.5m (€35.1m at 31/12/2020), recording direct premiums for €190.1m (+35.4%), with a significant increase in the Non-MV classes (+39.2%) and in the MV segment (+23%). The breakdown of the portfolio among the distribution channels is almost totally focused on the banking channel which, at 31 December 2021, recorded 99% of the total Non-Life premiums (98.5% at 31/12/2020). Overall, the banking channel recorded a 36% increase in premiums compared to the previous year, with premiums written totalling approximately €188.1m.

In the bancassurance channel, Arca Vita recorded premiums amounting to €2,395.7m (€1,118.6m at 31/12/2020). The volume of total investments reached the amount of €10,144.5m (€9,040.1m at 31/12/2020). Arca Vita recorded a profit of €62.9m (up compared to €61.8m in 2020).

BIM Vita recorded a profit of around €1.8m at the end of 2021, up compared to 31 December 2020 (€1.6m). Gross premiums written amounted to €74.9m (around €72.7m at 31/12/2020). The volume of total investments reached the amount of €668.3m (€625.9m at 31/12/2020).

DDOR Novi Sad closed with a €6.2m profit (Non-Life and Life business) at 31 December 2021 (down against €10.4m at 31/12/2020), with growing premiums (Non-Life and Life), which rose from €105.4m at the end of 2020 (of which €90.9m in the Non-Life sector) to €114.0m at 31 December 2021 (of which €95.6m in the Non-Life sector). Although the pandemic is not over yet, macroeconomic conditions in Serbia in 2021 were better than in 2020, with GDP up by roughly 7% and the insurance market showing positive trends, with the MV TPL, Life and Other Damage to Property lines of business representing roughly 75% of total premiums. The company continues to be a sector leader, with Non-Life premium growth of 5.1% and Life premium growth of 7.0%.

Other Companies

In 2021, companies continued to face the COVID-19 emergency which, particularly for Gruppo UNA, heavily impacted turnover, directing significant efforts towards the systematic reduction of the cost structure, although it maintained qualitative leadership over its competitors.

As regards the hotel sector, the revenues of the subsidiary Gruppo UNA rose compared to 31 December 2020 by 98.8% (from around €32.3m to around €64.2m), reflecting the recovery in the tourism market starting from June and until November. In the second half of the year, nearly all facilities reopened, and year-end was reached with just 5 hotels closed (with the exception of 3 seasonal hotels) out of 34. Despite the actions implemented to limit operating costs, the still low business levels entailed a loss of around €14.3m.

As concerns agricultural activities, packaged wine sales of the company Tenute del Cerro recorded an increase of 28.9% compared to 31 December 2020 - from €7.3m to €9.4m - while total revenues rose by 28.3%, from €8.0m to €10.3m. This trend, along with the limitation of operating costs, made it possible to close the period with a profit of €0.1m.

Casa di Cura Villa Donatello closed 2021 with revenue of €34.7m, up by around 19.3% compared to 2020 (€29.1m). Revenue trends show a continuation of the positive performance in the core business, for hospitalisation (hospital stays and outpatient surgery) as well as clinic activities (visits and diagnostics). The company recorded a profit of €1.0m, which more than doubled compared to 2020.

UnipolRental, the Group's long-term rental company, closed the year 2021 with strong business development. Total vehicles registered at 31 December 2021 came to 14,438 compared to 9,562 last year, also thanks to the business push from the agency channel, which brokered more than 20% of the company's contract portfolio.

Transactions with related parties

Consob, by issuing the Regulation introducing provisions pertaining to transactions with related parties, with resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010, as subsequently amended (the "Consob Regulation"), regulates the disclosure obligations and the decision-making rules pertaining to transactions with Related Parties carried out by listed companies, directly or through subsidiaries.

This regulation is a part of the broader framework of regulatory provisions for groups and conflict of interest, introduced with the reform of corporate law, in order to:

  • avoid the interference of the main shareholders (i.e. the shareholders or the parties that exercise control or a significant influence on the issuer) and of the management (i.e. the key managers) in the management of the company, to the detriment of minorities;
  • limit the risk that the executive bodies, carrying out operations outside ordinary activities and/or market or standard conditions, may damage the company's capital;
  • allow the performance of transactions with related parties that pursue objectives of efficient management of the company's resources.

The Procedure for related-party transactions (the "Procedure") - prepared pursuant to Art. 4 of the Consob Regulation and updated most recently by the Company's Board of Directors on 24 June 2021, effective as of 1 July 2021, in order to incorporate the amendments made to the Consob Regulation with resolution no. 21624 of 10 December 2020 - defines the rules, methods and principles that ensure the transparency and substantive and procedural fairness of the transactions with related parties carried out by UnipolSai, either directly or through its subsidiaries.

The Company is subject to management and coordination by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Parent"); therefore, in addition to being obligated to comply with the provisions of the Consob Regulation that specifically apply to it as a listed subsidiary, is also the recipient of the rules of conduct dictated by the Parent, also with reference - for matters of specific interest herein - to the similar procedure adopted by Unipol.

The Policy on intragroup transactions adopted pursuant to IVASS Regulation no. 30 of 26 October 2016 remains in place, since applicable.

With regard to the execution of Transactions with Related Parties qualified as of "Major Significance", please recall that, as specified in the section above "Information on significant events", in March 2021 UnipolSai entered into a settlement agreement with all of the defendants to settle in full the liability actions lodged, in the course of 2013 and 2014, by the Company and by several Unipol Group companies with respect to some directors and statutory auditors of companies of the former Premafin/Fondiaria-SAI Group.

This settlement agreement, entered into in March 2021, came into effect following its approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of UnipolSai and the other plaintiff companies of the Unipol Group and was executed in 2021, resulting in the recognition of an overall gain for the Unipol Group of €42.2m, of which €29.7m pertaining to UnipolSai.

Disclosure about Solvency II prudential supervision

The test for the capital adequacy of the Company is determined in compliance with the Solvency II regulations, which came into force on 1 January 2016. The main applicable legal and regulatory references are as follows:

  • Framework Directive 2009/138/EC ("SII Directive"), adopted in the Italian legal system with Italian Legislative Decree 74 of 12 May 2015, which amended and supplemented Legislative Decree 209/2005 (Private Insurance Code);

  • the Delegated Acts, issued with EU Delegated Regulation 35/2015 and subsequent amendments and integrations ("Regulation"), which supplement the SII Directive;

  • the Guidelines issued by EIOPA, adopted through the regulations issued by IVASS, including in particular:
    • IVASS Regulation no. 18 of 15 March 2016 contains the application rules and the methods to be adopted to determine the technical provisions;
    • IVASS Regulation no. 25 of 26 July 2016 pertaining to the identification, measurement and classification of the core equity components;
    • IVASS Regulation no. 32 of 9 November 2016 pertaining to Own Risk and Solvency Assessment provisions;
    • IVASS Regulation no. 34 of 7 February 2017 implementing provisions on the measurement of assets and liabilities other than technical provisions in the Solvency II Report;
    • IVASS Regulation no. 35 of 7 February 2017 containing provisions for the adjustment for the ability to absorb the losses of technical provisions and of deferred taxes in the determination of solvency capital requirements calculated with the standard formula.

Solvency capital requirements and relevant coverage ratios

The Company had equity admissible to cover the capital requirements equal to 3.26 times the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR), (at 31/12/2020, 3.18), and 7.03 times the Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) (at 31/12/2020, 6.42). The table below summarises:

The individual solvency capital requirements are calculated using the Partial Internal Model, approved by the Supervisory Authority for regulatory purposes. For the purposes of determining equity, the volatility adjustment prescribed by Art. 36-septies of the Private Insurance Code is applied.

Partial Internal Model

UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. was authorised by the Supervisory Authority to use the Partial Internal Model for calculating the individual solvency capital requirement with effect from valuations at 31 December 2016.

The Partial Internal Model is used to assess the following risk factors, as well as in the aggregation process:

  • Non-Life and Health Technical Insurance risks relating to the earthquake catastrophe component;
  • Life Technical Insurance risks;
  • Market risk;
  • Credit risk.

It is worth noting that, on 28 April 2021, by Measure no. 0089983/21, IVASS authorised UnipolSai Assicurazioni to make significant changes to the partial internal model for calculating the individual solvency capital requirement. The significant changes relating to the market risk and credit risk modules were applied with effect from the assessments at 30 June 2021.

There is a plan for the extension of the Partial Internal Model in order to include all measurable risk modules in its structure and reach a Full Internal Model type configuration.

Non-Life and Health technical insurance risk is represented by the following risk sub-modules: tariff-setting risk, provisions risk, catastrophe risk and surrender risk. A Partial Internal Model (for Earthquake catastrophe risk), Specific Company Parameters and the Standard Formula are used to calculate the solvency capital requirement. The Supervisory Authority, by Measure of 2 February 2016, authorised the use from 1 January 2016 of the specific parameters of the Undertaking for the calculation of the solvency capital requirement for the tariff-setting and provision risks in the following segments:

  • Segment 1, Proportional insurance and reinsurance on TPL resulting from the circulation of vehicles;
  • Segment 4, Proportional insurance and reinsurance against fire and other damage to property;
  • Segment 5, Proportional insurance and reinsurance on general TPL.

In addition, except with regard to Earthquake risk, the catastrophe risks and surrender risk are assessed using the Standard Formula.

Life underwriting risk (mortality/longevity risk, surrender risk and expense risk) is measured using the Partial Internal Model based on the Least Square Monte Carlo approach, consistent with the principles indicated in Solvency II regulations, which allow calculation of the Probability Distribution Forecast in relation to Life risk factors. Catastrophe risk, in addition to the Life underwriting risks relating to Unit-Linked and Pension Fund products, are assessed using the Standard Formula.

The market risk of the securities portfolio, for which the investment risk is not borne by the policyholders, is measured using the Partial Internal Model that adopts a Monte Carlo VaR approach. As part of the Internal Market Model, Life liabilities are replicated through cash flows with a maturity equivalent to Life provisions run-off for the guaranteed component and polynomial functions (the Least Square Monte Carlo approach) to represent the Future Discretionary Benefits component. Market risk of the securities portfolio for which investment risk is borne by policyholders and concentration risk are assessed using the Market Wide Standard Formula.

Credit risk is measured using the Partial Internal Model that adopts a CreditRisk+ approach. This model makes it possible to measure the risk of default relating to bank counterparties, concerning exposures deriving from cash available at banks and financial risk mitigation operations through derivative contracts, as well as to the insurance and reinsurance exposures. Furthermore, the model allows the risk of default deriving from exposures to intermediaries and policyholders to be measured.

The risk aggregation process, adopted by the Group according to the methods defined in the Partial Internal Model, calls for a bottom-up approach and may be broken down into two phases:

  • aggregation of the risk sub-modules which make up Market risks, Non-Life and Health Technical Insurance risks, Life Technical Insurance risks and Credit risks so as to obtain the Probability Distribution Forecast ("PDF") of each risk module;
  • aggregation of the risk modules of Market risks, Non-Life and Health Technical Insurance risks, Life Technical Insurance risks and Credit risks in order to calculate the Basic SCR.

The aggregation of the sub-modules involves three distinct approaches:

  • joint sampling of risk factors;
  • aggregation by means of the Var-Covar method (with a posteriori determination of the PDF);
  • aggregation of multiple marginal distributions through coupling functions.

Other Information

Human resource management and development

The Company's workforce at 31 December 2021 consisted of 6,994 employees. In 2021, 346 employees stopped working for the Company, of whom 11 for intra-group transfers and 335 due to actual termination, as a result of resignations, incentivised departures, retirement, participation in the "Solidarity Fund" and other reasons for termination. There were 191 entries, of whom 167 new hires, more specifically 126 on permanent contracts (hired from the market or hiring of former temporary workers), 41 on fixed-term contracts, still on the workforce at 31 December 2021, 1 reinstatement and 23 new entries due to mobility processes within the insurance Group. If calculated as full time equivalent (FTE), that is, considering the number of hours actually worked, the number of employees would be 6,788.

Personnel costs for remuneration, social security expenses and post-employment benefits amounted to €559.3m.

Please note that during the year 2019, trade union agreements were entered into in relation to jointly agreed termination of employment contracts for non-executive personnel meeting pension requirements by 31 December 2023. Overall, more than 800 employees participated in the plans.

In the course of 2021 the agreed termination of contract involved 266 workers, of whom:

  • 213 terminated due to access to the Solidarity Fund;
  • 53 terminated due to direct access to retirement.

Please also note that, in the course of 2020, trade union agreements were signed in relation to jointly agreed termination of employment contracts for executive personnel meeting pension requirements by 31 December 2023, which was then extended to 2024. These personnel will receive a cheque paid by the company that is equivalent to the future pension, until the state pension requirements are met. The agreed termination of contract involved 6 executives in 2021.

In terms of policies and projects, the most significant news for companies in the insurance segment was the renewal of the Group's Supplemental Corporate Agreement ("CIA"), with improved provisions on supplementary pensions, health care, remuneration for the contact centre staff and other institutions.

Training

Also in 2021, training initiatives took place remotely. The new MyUnica home page was released on the Unica portal, for a better user experience, with the expansion of the offer of online courses with self-enrolment for the development of personal skills, stimulating constructive dialogue between Managers and employees.

Employee training activities focused on implementing courses with mandatory and regulatory, technical, commercial, managerial and behavioural content. A total of 807 courses were created and held, several of which with training funded by the Banks and Insurance Companies Fund and the Executives Fund. Some of our distinctive training courses included the "Unipol Executive Master" for 22 resources, the "Unipol Innovation Laboratory" for 110 resources selected from the Next Generation Programme, the course for high-potential new hires "Unipol Insurance Master Program" for 20 young people and also the "Master in Business Insurance" for 21 participants in the Claims and Non-Life areas. A number of initiatives were aimed at developing behavioural, transversal and role-specific expertise. Support was provided (in terms of mindset) to the initiation of the company's first Digital Workplace dedicated to the Chief Claims Officer Department. Courses continued for the development of language skills (English) and for strengthening the capacity to work from a project perspective. Aside from compulsory training on Security, initiatives were also held on technological and regulatory topics, particularly online courses on the new company tools made available by the Group, specialised IT courses supporting business processes and regulatory/compulsory courses on Privacy and IVASS Regulations, in addition to the initiation of the Antitrust and Consumer Law Programme. Training also supported the reorganisation of the SME Non-Life structure, as well as that regarding the evolution of certain business applications, like the new Injuries Calculator for the Chief Claims Officer Department.

The training intended for the Sales Network referred to building courses, a total of 562, useful in further increasing skills, also in compliance with training obligations envisaged in the Regulations. The range of courses runs from the usual updating on regulations and new or revised products, to training on processes. It is also necessary to note the training activities linked to the release of many new products and the use of applications.

Participation continues in the main inter-company research centres, consortia and associations and industry meetings, as well as training competitions, such as the AIF Training Excellence Award, where this year Unica obtained two recognitions for its 2020 Inclusion Day.

The ISO 9001:2015 certification of Unica's Quality Management System was confirmed.

Protection of Privacy

Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of personal data (the "GDPR") requires continuous training on personal data protection and strong substantial accountability of the company, which must guarantee and be capable of demonstrating its compliance with the GDPR provisions.

To that end, in the course of 2021, the Company, with the support of the Group's Data Protection Officer – who performs the activities under his responsibility for the Parent and for its subsidiaries with registered office in Italy – continued to provide training to the employees both through e-learning courses and face-to-face meetings/lessons carried out remotely, in addition to evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of the oversight mechanisms, processes and organisational system implemented in order to guarantee that its personal data management complies with regulations in force and is more transparent with respect to data subjects, through:

  • monitoring of the record of processing activities required under Art. 30 of the GDPR;
  • updating of service agreements between Group companies and between them and external suppliers;
  • updating of company communication documents to outline guidelines and procedures for the proper management of personal data and to ensure the regulatory compliance of processing;
  • assessment on the compliance of processes and procedures with regulatory provisions;
  • monitoring of the implementation of the actions identified in the assessments;
  • monitoring of the reference regulatory framework, including through the analysis of regulations and/or guidelines of the European and national authorities subject to public consultation to propose, when necessary, requests for changes, amendments, supplements or clarifications with respect to topics linked to the processing of personal data;
  • analysis of the penalty measures issued by the Data Protection Authority;
  • impact assessments on data protection, in keeping with the privacy by design and by default principles.

Research and development activities

In response to a market scenario undergoing constant technological evolution, UnipolSai makes investments to develop and accelerate innovation and meet the new needs of customers.

For UnipolSai, intellectual capital represents most of the assets used to build its strategies and is continuously enhanced through investments in innovation.

Investment in data, telematics and the application of Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) generates real returns for the core business. The main effects are the improvement of the capacity to identify fraud, through the automatic and "predictive" flagging of suspicious claims; a reduction in the cost of claims; the expansion of knowledge of real customer needs and the subsequent creation of new services and products offered to customers in a range of segments.

Technological evolution also involves the service companies and ecosystems.

The Group frequently involved and leveraged the contribution of start-ups, universities and research networks in the innovation processes.

In the course of 2021, activities primarily concentrated on three lines of action.

• Development of omni-channel interaction with customers

A new version of the UnipolSai App was created which integrates new fuel payment functions with the partners API/IP and Tamoil, the management of the new Electronic Toll Payment service, the self-service sale of Pet and Travel products and gamification to support app usage, through the "Regali da APPlausi" campaign.

With over 3.1m downloads and +32% interactions, the UnipolSai App has once again been confirmed as the best app in the insurance market. The upward trend in electronic signatures and payments was also confirmed, with 6m signatures and 3m payments during the year.

• Introduction of new architectures and technologies

New IT platforms were designed and created for Electronic Toll Payment service management and the sale of Beyond Insurance products, to support the activities of UnipolTech, while the new payment platform supporting UnipolPay activities is currently being completed. Furthermore, the new Digital Workplace platform including new collaboration, community, content and knowledge management functions was released to more than 2,000 colleagues in the Claims Department, while the Univax IT platform was created and used during the year to support the management of the Group's vaccination campaigns, managed through UniSalute.

• Digitalisation and optimisation of processes and evolution of insurance products and systems Activities also continued in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Process Robotics, Data and Cybersecurity. On this last front, the authentication method was reinforced for roughly 9,000 Group employees and new Antispam and Threat Intelligence services were developed for the advanced search for threats on the internet and the dark web.

Communications

In 2021, activities related to the Digital sphere were characterised by strong integration and cross action between the web and social areas, to increasingly harmonise them and to create reciprocal synergies in the Group's communications.

The institutional content of the Unipol.it and UnipolSai.com websites has been continuously updated and the supervision of the shared information on these channels is increasingly based on a wider brand awareness.

On the institutional front, within a situation still characterised by the continuation of the condition of uncertainty dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic, from the perspective of digital corporate communications, the Unipol Vaccination Plan operation was particularly significant. An operation communicated carefully at the level of the Group's digital corporate channels and which reverberated through the various top level media.

The Unipol and UnipolSai corporate digital media, websites and social media, also amplified the new releases of spots in the UnipolSai "Always one step ahead" advertising campaign with Alessandro Gassmann, particularly the reworks of the Unibox theme, with the new Unibox Safe, and the Home topic.

Lastly, in December, external communications collaborated in synergy with internal communications to highlight a sustainability project created in partnership with Treedom: Unipol ushered in its "company forest", rich with 11k trees spread throughout many countries worldwide, which were donated to Group employees, bearing witness to the concrete commitment to following the principles underlying the UN's 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals.

Non-recurring significant transactions and atypical and/or unusual transactions

In 2021, in addition to any reported among the main events of the period, there were no non-recurring significant transactions and events, nor atypical and/or unusual transactions that, because of the significance, importance, nature of the counterparties involved in the transaction, transfer pricing procedures, or occurrence close to the end of the year, could give rise to doubts relating to: the accuracy and completeness of the information in these Consolidated Financial Statements, a conflict of interest, the safeguarding of the company's assets or the protection of noncontrolling shareholders.

Significant events after the reporting period

Acquisition of I.Car Srl

On 13 January 2022, UnipolSai acquired 100% of I.Car S.r.l. share capital at the price of €60m and 100% of Muriana Manuela S.r.l. share capital for €3m. The acquisition of these two companies, operating respectively in the motor vehicle anti-theft and insurance brokerage sectors, is consistent with development of the Mobility Ecosystem undertaken by the Group in recent years. The I.Car price could later be integrated with the payment of two variable tranches of around €10m each, which will be determined after approval of the I.Car financial statements for 2021 and 2022 in accordance with the criteria envisaged in the purchase agreement.

Termination of the agreement with Intesa Sanpaolo SpA

10 February 2022 saw the conclusion of the jointly-agreed termination of the agreement signed on 17 February 2020 between UnipolSai and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. in the broader context of Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.'s launch of a public exchange offer on 100% of UBI Banca shares and the related acquisition of business units referring to one or more insurance company investees of UBI Banca. This termination was the result of the assessment, agreed between the parties, of the transaction no longer being convenient and of mutual interest, taking into account the implementation costs and complexities.

UnipolSai and Linear: partnership with Pedius

In February 2022, UnipolSai and Linear announced the launch of the roadside assistance service as part of the Pedius app, which integrates functions for the hearing impaired and all individuals who cannot, temporarily or permanently, communicate verbally, transforming into a voice message any text entered and thereby removing communication barriers through the use of voice recognition and synthesis technologies.

MF Insurance Awards 2022

At the insurance excellence awards night on 24 February 2022, UnipolSai, Unisalute and Arca Vita received several recognitions in the "Companies of Value" category. Added to these was the Special ESG Insurance Elite Award for the best Standard Ethics sustainability rating for an Italian insurance company which went to UnipolSai.

Early repayment of loan disbursed by UnipolSai maturing in 2024

On 1 March 2022, Unipol, exercising the right to early repayment established in the contract, repaid in full the €300m loan disbursed by UnipolSai on 1 March 2019 as part of the sale to Unipol of the shareholding in Unipol Banca.

Partnership between UnipolSai and Ducati Corse

8 March 2022 saw the renewal, for the sixth consecutive year, of the partnership between UnipolSai and the Borgo Panigale team for the 2022 MotoGP World Championship.

Business outlook

After the robust economic recovery seen in Europe and in Italy in 2021, a slowdown in growth is forecast for 2022, intensified by the current geopolitical scenario. Having overcome domestic political uncertainties earlier in the year and, thanks to the success of the vaccination campaign and the limitation of the infection curve, reduced concerns relating to pandemic variants, tensions have progressively increased in relation to a number of factors of instability. Indeed, in the initial months of 2022, the international scenario was impacted by the deterioration of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which transformed into a large-scale clash of military forces following Russia's invasion of Ukrainian territory. Aside from the heavy price in terms of human life and refugees, the effects of the conflict and the ensuing economic and financial sanctions imposed on Russia by the international community are affecting the global economy. Some of the main impacts are expected to be difficulties in the procurement of raw materials, with additional increases in the relative prices, and the risk of an already stressed supply chain becoming even more compromised.

These situations of uncertainty and fears of the potential impacts are creating financial market tensions, with plummeting international share prices and upward trends in interest rates. All this reflects on the Company's financial investments, which have marked a reduction in their implicit capital gains, and on financial management, which in any event continues to be aimed at the consistency of assets and liabilities and optimising the risk/return profile of the portfolio, also with regard to the maintenance of an adequate level of solvency.

The uncertainty of the current context and, especially, its future evolution, does not make it possible to fully determine its effects on the financial situation and economic results of the Company. However, the Company does not carry out relevant economic activities in the area concerned by the conflict, does not hold, except to an extremely marginal extent, financial investments in securities of Russian or Ukrainian issuers and is not a contractual party to any relevant financial transactions with subjects or entities subject to the international sanctions.

With regard to the trends of the business sectors in which the Company operates, there are no particularly significant events to report with respect to the trends recorded throughout 2021.

Of particular note was the invitation submitted to UnipolSai to become a founding member of two of the five National Centres of Excellence established within the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (the "NRRP"). In particular, one located in Bologna concerns the establishment of the "National Centre for HPC supercomputing and the cloud" and "Quantum Computing", and the other, in Milan, regards the establishment of the "National Centre for sustainable mobility". UnipolSai immediately decided to participate in both initiatives, which moreover involve areas in which the Company is developing technological innovations for some time now.

The Group is completing activities for the preparation of the new 2022-2024 Business Plan, which will be presented to the financial markets this May.

Excluding unforeseeable events, also given the uncertainties in the reference context, the operating result for 2022 is expected to remain positive.

  1. Notes to the Financial Statements

Foreword

The Company purpose is management of all insurance, reinsurance and capitalisation classes allowed by law.

The Company can also manage supplementary pension schemes allowed by current law and subsequent amendments and supplements, as well as set up, form and manage open pension funds and carry on activities additional to or functional for managing these funds.

The financial statements have been prepared in observance of current statutory rules and those specific for the insurance sector. More specifically, they have been drawn up in compliance with the provisions set forth under Title VIII of Italian Legislative Decree 209 of 7 September 2005 (Insurance Code), of Italian Legislative Decree 173 of 26 May 1997 and ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 (the "Regulation") as amended, and implementing the instructions issued on the subject by the Supervisory Authority. For whatever is not explicitly regulated by the regulations of the sector, please refer to the general rules regarding financial statements in the Civil Code and the accounting standards issued by the Italian Accounting Standards Setter (OIC).

The financial statements comprise the Statement of financial position, the Income statement and these Notes along with their annexes, prepared according to the statements laid out in accordance with the Regulation. They are accompanied by the Statement of cash flows prepared in free form.

It is also accompanied by the Management Report.

The Statement of financial position and the Income statement are drawn up in Euro, without decimals, whilst amounts indicated in the Notes to the financial statements and the other tables are expressed in €k, unless otherwise indicated. The layout of the financial statements offers a comparison with the figures of the previous year. No significant events occurred after year end that could affect the financial statement results.

In order to supplement the disclosures provided in the aforementioned mandatory statements, the reclassification tables of the statement of financial position and income statement, as well as the statement of changes in shareholders' equity, are annexed.

The measurement criteria were adopted on the basis of going concern assumptions, in application of the principles of accrual, materiality and significance of the accounting data.

The UnipolSai administrative bodies and the manager in charge of financial reporting have provided the statement on the financial statements pursuant to Art. 81-ter, Consob Regulation 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended.

The financial statements of UnipolSai are audited by the independent auditors EY S.p.A., which has been appointed to audit the financial statements of the Company for the 2021-2029 period.

EU ESEF Regulation - Financial statements in the single electronic reporting format

The "Transparency Directive" (2004/109/EC) requires listed companies to publish their annual financial report in the "single electronic reporting format". To this end, Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 2018 (the "ESEF Regulation") imposed the obligation of drafting such reporting in XHTML format, also marking up certain information in the consolidated financial statements (financial statements and certain identifying data of the issuer) using XBRL specifications. The obligation of applying this preparation method, following an extension adopted at national level, comes into force starting from the 2021 financial year.

Part A: Measurement criteria

The accounting policies and the most significant criteria used in drawing up the financial statements are set out below.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets of a long-lasting nature are recorded at purchase or production cost. The accessory charges are also included in the purchase cost while the production cost comprises all costs directly chargeable to the single assets. They are amortised from the time they become available for use, or when they in any case generate economic benefits.

Acquisition commissions to be amortised

The acquisition commissions on Non-Life long-term contracts are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over three years. For the Life business, the commissions are amortised up to their respective loading, based on the duration of the contract, for a period no longer than ten years.

All other charges pertaining to acquisition of the contracts and their management are reflected in the income statement of the year when they are incurred.

Start-up and expansion costs

Expense incurred if the company is set up or for amendments to the By-Laws is recorded in this item. Charges regarding capital increases are amortised in a maximum period of five years, starting from the year when the capital increase takes effect, taking into account their future utility and their presumed useful life.

Goodwill

The goodwill acquired against payment is recorded under assets at cost, since it is included in the amount paid for the acquisition, and it is amortised on the basis of the useful life over a maximum period not longer than 20 years.

Other long-term costs

Long-term costs comprise those incurred for company reorganisation projects and increasing costs on leased real estate.

These costs are amortised in a period ranging from two to ten years in consideration of their functionality and presumed useful life. For projects under development, amortisation is suspended until the year in which they are first used.

Costs for purchases of portfolio regarding the Life business are amortised on a straight-line basis, in consideration of the average residual life of the contracts involved.

Trademarks are amortised in ten years.

Other long-term costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives.

Investments

Land and buildings

Properties are classified as fixed assets.

The costs of improvements and conversions are capitalised if they result in an increase in the useful life of the assets and of their profitability.

Properties used in operations for use by the company or leased to third parties are depreciated with a 3% constant rate. The land, including the portions of land regarding the buildings, is accounted for separately and is not depreciated. The properties not used for corporate business but instead as residential property are also depreciated, unless the constant maintenance carried out to prolong their use over time and retain their value does not justify their nonamortisation.

Assets that suffer impairment losses are written down.

The market value of the properties is given by an expert's analytical assessment for each real estate portion, unit or complex made by an independent external entity. Both the estimate reports and the external entity meet the requirement set forth in ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent integrations or amendments (Art. 16 to 20).

Investments in group companies and other investees

These are mainly represented by long-term commitments such as controlling interests, interests in affiliates and in other companies.

The investments concerned are recognised at purchase or subscription cost or at a value below cost if, on the basis of the financial position of the companies invested in, the investments show evidence of impairment.

The shares of parent companies held to serve executive personnel incentive plans based on financial instruments are recognised in the short-term portfolio and valued at the lower of cost and market value.

Other financial investments

All long-term and short-term debt and equity instruments falling within the Company's portfolio are assigned based on the classification criteria established in a special framework resolution passed by the Board of Directors. In particular, the following types of assets are classified amongst long-term investments:

a) investments in financial instruments (debt and equity instruments) under item C.II (Investments in group companies and other investees) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 if considered strategic with particular reference to the medium to long-term development objectives;

for the Life business

  • b) the investments in financial instruments under item C.III (Bonds issued by holding companies, subsidiaries, associates, affiliates and other companies) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 for the part intended to hedge provisions for types of defined benefit policies as they are characterised by maximum correlation with commitments undertaken;
  • c) the investments in bonds and other fixed-yield securities under item C.III.3 (Bonds and other fixed-yield securities) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 other than those indicated in point b) if consistent with the time horizon and level of the benefit guaranteed to the policyholders;
  • d) the investments in equity instruments and the like under items C.III.1 (Shares and holdings) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 and C.III.2 (Mutual investment fund units) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 if their aptitude to form a long-term investment proves evident and, in any case, they must be residual in nature with respect to the sum total of the portfolio of a long-lasting nature.

It is specified that the investments in financial instruments under item D (Investments benefiting Life business policyholders that bear the risk and investments arising from pension fund management) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 must always be assigned to the "investments with short-term use" compartment for consistency with the current value measurement criterion applied to them, even if they have the characteristics for falling under "investments with long-term use".

for the Non-Life business

  • e) the investments in bonds and other fixed-yield securities under item C.III.3 (Bonds and other fixed-yield securities) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 with long-term investment aims as they are functional for the insurance business;
  • f) the investments in equity instruments and the like under items C.III.1 (Shares and holdings) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 and C.III.2 (Mutual investment fund units) of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997 if their aptitude to form a long-term investment proves evident and, in any case, they must be residual in nature with respect to the sum total of the portfolio of a long-lasting nature.

The investments described in point e) and point f) must not in any case exceed the maximum limit of 60% of the total items C.III.1, C.III.2 and C.III.3 of the Assets accounts of the Statement of Financial Position pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 173/1997.

Without prejudice to the above, the measurement criteria of the other financial investments are explained hereunder.

Shares and mutual fund units

Shares classified as current assets and mutual investment fund units are recognised at the lower of average purchase cost and market value, which for listed securities is the average price recorded in the last month of the year and for unlisted securities a prudent estimated realisable value.

The shares and mutual fund units classified as durable goods are kept at the purchase cost, if necessary adjusted by the write-downs due to impairment considered long-term.

Bonds and other fixed-yield securities

The securities held long term among the Company's assets are measured at the average purchase or subscription cost, adjusted or integrated by an amount equal to the accrued portion for the year of the negative or positive difference between the repayment value and the purchase price, with separate recognition of the portion for the year relating to any issue spreads. Write-downs are made only in the event of confirmed impairment. For implied rate securities (zero coupon bonds, etc.) the capital adjustment already accrued during the year is taken into account.

Securities used for current commitments are aligned to the lower between the average cost, increased or adjusted for issue spreads matured and the return accrued on implied rate securities, and that of the market (for listed securities) formed from the arithmetic mean of prices recorded in December and (for unlisted securities) from the estimated realisable value at the end of the year, determined on the current value of securities traded on regulated markets and with similar characteristics.

Write-downs in previous years are not maintained if the reasons giving rise to such write-downs should no longer apply.

Loans

They are recognised at their estimated realisable value.

Financial derivatives

Financial derivatives, as defined by ISVAP Regulation no. 36 of 31 January 2011 and subsequent amendments, are used only for hedging purposes, to reduce the risk profile of the assets/liabilities hedged, i.e. to optimise their risk/return profile.

The derivative contracts in force at the end of the period are measured according to the "principle of valuation consistency". Specifically, the unrealised capital losses or gains are charged to the income statement consistently with the corresponding unrealised capital losses and gains calculated on the assets and liabilities hedged.

According to the provisions of Art. 2427-bis of the Civil Code, the fair value of the derivative is indicated for transactions existing at the close of the year.

This value represents the amount at which an asset can be exchanged (or a liability paid off) in a free transaction between aware and independent parties.

For those financial instruments for which there is an active market, the fair value coincides with the market value, while the fair value for instruments for which there is no active market is determined based on the current value of a similar instrument or by using generally accepted valuation models and techniques.

Premiums collected or paid for options on securities, shares, currencies or interest rates in place at year end are respectively recognised in items G.VI "Sundry loans and other financial payables" and C.III.7 "Sundry financial investments".

On expiry of the option:

  • if exercised, the premium is recorded as an adjustment to the purchase or sale price of the underlying asset;
  • if abandoned, the premium is recognised under "Gains/losses on realisation of investments".

Gains on securities

The interest income accrued is recognised to the income statement according to the accruals principle, as is the difference accrued between the repayment value and the price of issuing bonds and similar securities. The difference between the repayment value and the carrying amount of the accrued difference is considered for the securities constituting fixed assets.

The dividends are recognised in the year in which their distribution is resolved.

The gains and losses arising from the trading of fixed-yield securities and shares are recognised to the income statement according to the actual date of redemption.

Deposits with ceding companies

The item includes the deposits set up with ceding companies in connection with risks underwritten in reinsurance, and are recorded at nominal value.

Investments benefiting Life business policyholders that bear the risk and investments arising from pension fund management

These are recorded at current value, pursuant to the provisions of Art. 17, paragraph 2 of Italian Legislative Decree 173/97, particularly:

  • a) for listed investments, it is the value of the last trading day of the year;
  • b) for the investments traded in unregulated markets, it is an estimate of their realisable value on the same date;
  • c) for the other assets and liabilities and the cash and cash equivalents, it is usually their nominal value.

They are recognised at their estimated realisable value. In particular:

  • receivables from policyholders for premiums of the year and of previous years represent the receivables accrued, but not yet collected at year end. The specially set up bad debt provision takes into account the possible future loss calculated based on experience and on final data of the year in progress;
  • receivables from intermediaries include the receivable from agents, brokers and other intermediaries, in addition to the receivables for reimbursements paid to preceding agents. They are directly adjusted by way of write-offs for final losses and write-downs for assumed non-collection, done by allocating the amount resulting from the analytical verification of the single positions to a special provision;
  • receivables from companies are the year-end balances adjusted by a special provision for any write-downs resulting from the checks made on the single positions of doubtful collection;
  • receivables from third parties and policyholders for amounts to be collected are made up of recoveries to carry out in connection with the claims for which payment of the indemnity has been made. These receivables are considered collectable based on a prudent valuation;
  • receivables relating to reinsurance business with companies include all receivables deemed collectable and are consequently adjusted by a special bad debt provision calculated based on the checks on the single positions;
  • other receivables include all receivables that do not fall under the above-mentioned items and, if the relative requirements are met, are adjusted by a special provision for depreciation determined on the basis of the assumed collectability. As recommended by IVASS application clarification of 23 March 2021, this item includes tax credits relating to tax subsidies (such as the ecobonus and the sismabonus) acquired from third parties (direct beneficiaries or previous purchasers) and recoverable by offsetting future payments according to methods and timing established in the reference regulation.

Other assets

Furniture, office machinery, plant and movables recorded in public registers

The assets falling under fixed assets are stated in the financial statements at purchase cost or at transfer values and are amortised based on their estimated useful life.

Subordinated liabilities

The loans issued that fall within this category are recognised at their nominal value.

Accruals and deferrals

Accruals and deferrals are calculated on an accrual basis.

Non-Life business technical provisions

Premium provision

The premium provision in the Italian direct portfolio broken down into its components is determined by applying Articles 37 and 37-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 209/2005 and in compliance with the provisions and valuation methods provided for by Annex no. 15 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 (former ISVAP Regulation no. 16 of 4 March 2008 as amended):

a) the provision for unearned premiums is calculated using, for the classes concerned, the analytical method "pro rata temporis" provided for by paragraph 5 of the mentioned annex 15, of the above-mentioned Regulation, except for the risks in the Credit class for contracts executed or renewed by 31 December 1991, for which the calculation criteria provided for in Annex 15"bis of the Regulation no. 22 and subsequent integrations and amendments apply;

  • b) the provision for unexpired risks, connected with the technical performance and intended to cover the part of risk falling within the period after year end, consists - in accordance with the simplified method laid down in paragraph 6 of the aforesaid Regulation - of the classes where valuation of the total amount of the reimbursements and relevant costs arising from insurance contracts concluded before the year ended exceeds that of the provision for unearned premiums and of the premium instalments that will become due after that date in connection with the same contracts; for unearned premiums for unearned premiums;
  • c) the provisions in addition to the provision for unearned premiums, connected with the special nature and characteristics of some risks (damages caused by hail and other natural disasters: damages caused by earthquake, seaquake, volcanic eruption and associated phenomena; damages caused by nuclear energy and risks included in the Bonds business) are determined based on the provisions given in the mentioned Annex 15 paragraphs 9 to 20.

The provision for profit sharing and reversals in the health business is calculated in respect of amounts to pay to the policyholders for contracts containing the profit participation or reversals clause.

The reinsurers' share of the premium provisions is calculated by applying to the premiums ceded the same criteria as those used for calculating the premium for direct insurance business provision.

Other technical provisions

The item includes the ageing provisions of the health class, intended to cover the deterioration of the risk as the age of the policyholders rises, calculated on the basis of the flat-rate method provided for by Art. 44, paragraph 3 of Annex no. 15 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 as amended, to the extent of 10% of the gross premiums written of the year pertaining to contracts having the characteristics given under paragraph 43/1 of the annex.

Equalisation provisions

The equalisation provisions allocated to equalise fluctuations in the rate of claims of future years or to cover particular risks such as credit risk, risk of natural disasters or damages caused by nuclear energy are calculated according to the provisions in ministerial decree no. 705 of 19 November 1996 as defined in paragraph 50 of annex 15 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008.

Claims provision

The direct claims provision is ascertained analytically by estimating the presumed cost of all the claims outstanding at the end of the year and on the basis of prudent technical valuations carried out with reference to objective elements, in order to ensure that the total amount set aside is enough to meet the claims to be settled and the relative direct expenses and settlement expenses.

In particular, the provisions for claims reported are estimated using the inventory method and the adjusters' estimates are also combined, where application conditions are satisfied, with the results of statistical methods such as the Chain Ladder, the Bornhuetter Ferguson and the ACPC (Average Cost Per Claim) and with valuations based on the average costs for the year (for similar groups covering a sufficiently large number of claims).

These methods were applied after consistency of the underlying data had been verified using the model assumptions.

The Chain Ladder method is applied to the "paid" and "loading" factors. The method is based on historical analysis of the factors that affect the trend in claims. The selection of these factors is based on the figures for the accumulated amounts paid out, which produces an estimate of the final cost per year of occurrence if the claims for that year have not been paid in full.

The Chain Ladder method is suitable for sectors in which the figures are stable and is therefore not suitable in cases in which there are no significantly stable previous periods and in cases of significant changes in the settlement rate. The Bornhuetter Ferguson method uses a combination of a benchmark, or estimates of the ratio of losses to 'a priori'

premium and an estimate based on claims incurred (Chain Ladder). The two estimates are combined using a formula that gives greater weight to experience. This technique is used in situations in which the figures are not suitable for making projections (recent years and new classes of risk).

The ACPC method is based on a projection of the number of claims to be paid and the respective average costs. This method is based on three fundamental assumptions: settlement rate, basic average costs and exogenous and endogenous inflation.

These methods extrapolate the final cost according to the year in which the claim is incurred and according to similar groups of risk on the basis of the trends in claims recognised in the past. When there was reason for deeming the trends recognised to be invalid some of the factors were modified and the projection adapted to fit the available information.

Some examples of what affects the trends could be:

  • changes in the claims handling procedures involving different approaches to settlement/making allocations to provisions;
  • market trends showing increases higher than inflation (may be linked to the economic situation or to political, legal or social developments);
  • random fluctuations including the impact of "major" claims.

Claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated on the basis of the historical trends within the company, with the number and the average costs of the claims being estimated separately.

The reinsurers' share of the claims provision reflects the sums recovered from them to meet the reserves, the amounts being laid down in the individual policies or in the contracts.

Life business technical provisions

The amount recognised is calculated in accordance with Art. 23-bis and with Annex 14 and 14-bis to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008, as amended by IVASS Measure no. 53 of 6 December 2016. The technical provisions are broken down as follows:

1. Mathematical Provisions:

The mathematical provision for direct insurance is calculated analytically for each contract on the basis of pure premiums, with no deductions for policy acquisition costs to be amortised, and by reference to the actuarial assumptions (technical interest rates, demographic models of death or disability) used to calculate the premiums on existing contracts, in accordance with paragraphs 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 19 of Annex no. 14 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008. The mathematical provision includes the portion of pure premiums related to the premiums accrued during the year. It also includes all the revaluations made under the terms of the policy and is never less than the surrender value.

2. Additional Provisions:

• Additional provision for demographic risk: in this regard, it was decided to add to the provisions to be set up to cover commitments undertaken with the policyholders, in compliance with Paragraph 36, Annex 14 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008 after having verified a variance between the demographic bases used to calculate the principals forming the annuities and table A62 prepared by ANIA.

• Additional provision to cover the possible variance between the expected rates of return on the assets held as a hedge against the technical provisions and commitments by way of levels of financial guarantees and adjustments made to the benefits provided under the policies, in compliance with paragraph 22 of Annex no. 14 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008.

  • Additional provision covering the time offset between the period in which the return to be paid contractually was accrued and the time when it is actually paid to the policyholder, in compliance with paragraph 23 of Annex no. 14 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008.
  • The additional provision set up to hedge the risk of mortality in insurance contracts in Class III (as laid down in Art. 2, paragraph 1, of Italian Legislative Decree 209 of 7/9/2005), which provide a benefit should the insured party die during the term of the contract, in compliance with paragraph 41 of Annex no. 14 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008.
  • The additional provision set up to fund guaranteed benefits on maturity or when certain events occur (as laid down in Art. 2, paragraph 1, of Italian Legislative Decree 209 of 7/9/2005), in compliance with paragraph 41 of Annex no. 14 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008.

3. Provision for amounts payable:

The provision for amounts payable is determined according to the criteria laid down in Art. 23-bis, paragraph 5, of ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008 and it includes the total amount needed to cover payment of benefits that have fallen due but not so far been paid, surrendered policies and claims not yet paid.

4. Technical provisions for supplementary insurance:

The Technical provisions of supplementary insurance were calculated on the basis of gross premiums according to the pro-rata temporis method, in compliance with the provisions of paragraph 18 of Annex no. 14 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008.

5. Provision for profit sharing and reversals:

The Provision for profit sharing and reversals includes the amounts to be attributed to the policyholders or to the beneficiaries of the contracts by way of technical profit sharing and premium reversal, provided that such amounts were not attributed to the policyholders, in accordance with paragraph 6 of Article 23-bis of ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008.

6. Other Technical Provisions:

Other technical provisions entirely consist of amounts set aside for future operating expenses and are calculated on the basis of the provisions of paragraphs 17 and 20 of Annex no. 14 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008.

For all the other methodological aspects regarding calculation of the technical provisions, including the additional provisions, please refer to the Actuarial function.

Technical provisions where the investment risk is borne by policyholders and provisions arising from pension fund management

According to the provisions of paragraph 39 of Annex no. 14 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22/2008, for Unit-Linked policies and class VI contracts pursuant to Art. 2, paragraph 1, of Italian Legislative Decree 209/2005, the mathematical provisions were calculated on the basis of the number and value of the shares of the respective investment lines in effect on the measurement date, i.e. at the market value of the corresponding covering assets.

Provisions for risks and charges

These include the allocations deemed most suitable for liabilities temporary in nature, of certain or probable existence whose amount or contingency date cannot be determined at year end.

They do not include the provisions used to correct values of asset items.

  • In particular:
    • the income tax provisions include the tax expenses allocated for items that will be taxed in subsequent years;
    • the other provisions include the foreseeable expenses of various types and those deriving from the dispute in progress, analytically measured for the single positions.

Income tax for the year

Starting from the 2015 tax year, UnipolSai adopted, and subsequently renewed for the successive three-year periods, including the one currently in progress (2021-2023), the participation in the Group tax regime, regulated by Art. 117 et seq. of Italian Presidential Decree no. 917/86, under the tax consolidating company Unipol Gruppo, together with its own subsidiaries that meet the regulatory requirements. An agreement was signed with the consolidating company, regulating the financial and procedural aspects governing the option in question.

Income tax for the year is recognised among costs for the year and calculated in accordance with current tax regulations. It represents:

  • the charges/income for current taxes;
  • the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising during the year and usable in future years;
  • for the portion due for the year, offsetting of deferred tax assets and liabilities generated in previous years; • the expense, if any, for substitute tax of the income tax related to special cases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised, calculated on the temporary differences that have arisen or been deducted during the year (including the portion of the tax assets and liabilities relating to the subsidiaries for which the tax regime provided for in Art. 115 et seq. of the Consolidated Income Tax Act was chosen), affecting deferred tax assets and the provision for deferred taxes, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on the basis of the tax rates set by current tax regulations and applicable to future years in which all or part of the temporary differences that underly them are expected to be reabsorbed.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is reasonably certain that they will be recovered in future years. Deferred tax liabilities are always recognised.

The disclosure pursuant to Art. 2427, paragraph 1, letter 14 of the Civil Code, together with the statement of reconciliation between theoretical and effective tax charges, is provided in section 21 - Information on the non-technical account.

Payables and other liabilities

These are recorded at their nominal value and represent the Company's payables to third parties.

Specifically, post-employment benefits reflect the liabilities accrued with all the workforce at year end, in conformity with current laws and the collective labour agreements.

Treasury shares

Treasury shares in the portfolio are recognised on the basis of their purchase value as a direct decrease in shareholders' equity, in a special item Negative reserve for treasury shares in the portfolio.

Earned premiums

The total for the year is obtained by adding the premium provision. Gross and ceded written premiums included all amounts accrued during the year for the insurance contracts, regardless of the fact that these amounts have been collected, net of cancellations caused by technical reversals of single securities issued during the year, and by contract changes, with or without premium changes, introduced with replacements or appendices, in conformity with the provisions of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 as amended and integrated.

Profit from investments in the income statement

Shares of profits from investments to the technical account of the Non-Life business and to the non-technical account of the Life business are assigned in compliance with the provisions of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 as amended and integrated, as explained in the relevant sections of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Inwards reinsurance

The technical components communicated by the ceding companies relating to the year, even if incomplete, are estimated for the residual part in order to determine the correct competence and the pertinent retrocessions. The technical provisions are those communicated by the ceding companies, potentially supplemented to take additional foreseeable losses into account.

Translation of balances in foreign currencies

Items expressed in foreign currencies are treated in accordance with the principles of multicurrency accounting. In compliance with Art. 2426, paragraph 8"bis of the Civil Code, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and financial assets (held as investments) in foreign currencies are recognised at the spot rate at the time of purchase. Other items expressed in a foreign currency are recognised at the year-end rates. All translation differences are recognised in the Income Statement.

Exchange rates used

The main exchange rates used for the translation into euros are as follows:

Currencies 31/12/2021 31/12/2020
US Dollar 1.1326 1.2271
Pound Sterling 0.8403 0.8990
Swiss Franc 1.0331 1.0802
Canadian Dollar 1.4393 1.5633
YEN 130.3800 126.4900
Swedish Krona 10.2503 10.0343

Criteria adopted in breaking down the elements common to the Non-Life and Life businesses

The Company is authorised to jointly carry on insurance and reinsurance activity in both the Life and Non-Life businesses.

Pursuant to Art. 7 of ISVAP Regulation no. 17 of 11 March 2008 implementing Art. 11, paragraph 3 and 348 of Italian Legislative Decree 209 of 7 September 2005, the overheads are recognised to the appropriate account when they are directly chargeable to it on the basis of the information regarding the cost centre.

The costs and revenue common to the two management accounts that were impossible to assign from the very beginning to a specific account and that were therefore recognised indistinctly were broken down at year end based on the framework resolution passed by the Board of Directors according to the criteria consistent with the organisational structure and by using appropriate parameters. In particular:

Acquisition costs

The common costs of the organisational units that pertain to the company's technical/commercial structure, whether central or local, are divided up based on productivity parameters that primarily include the value of the premiums and the number of contracts in the Non-Life and Life portfolios. As the case may be, a single parameter or a combination of several parameters can be used.

Settlement expenses

Considering that the settlement activities are assigned to separate organisational units between the Non-Life and Life businesses, as a rule settlement expenses common to the two management accounts do not arise.

If in the aftermath of organisational changes common cost centres should arise in the future, the relevant costs must be divided based on suitable quantitative parameters in connection with the activity the organisational units to which they refer carry out.

Administrative expenses

The common administrative expenses (referring to organisational units not directly attributable to a specific management account) are divided between Non-Life and Life businesses on the basis of suitable quantitative parameters in connection with the type of activity carried out by the organisational unit to which they refer (i.e. the number of parties, number of policies in portfolio, the amount of the premiums, etc.). As the case may be, a single parameter or a combination of several parameters can be used.

Gains on investments

Recognition of the gains on assets and financial income reflects the actual income coming from the loans and the liquid funds pertaining to the Life business and the Non-Life business.

In the case of advances made by one business on behalf of the other, shares of income calculated in proportion to the entity and to the duration of the disbursements made, applying market rates, are recognised to the account involved.

Asset and financial charges

These are mostly distinctly recognised (Life and Non-Life) from the very origin.

The common costs, mostly pertaining to the structure expenses, are divided up on the basis of the incidence of the investments between the two businesses.

Other gains and other losses

These are assigned to each management account consistently with the attribution of the event or of the statement of financial position and income statement entries to which they relate.

Gains from recoveries of common costs from third parties are divided with criteria consistent with those used for dividing the costs recovered.

Extraordinary income and expenses

The capital gains and losses deriving from the disposal of properties, tangible assets, profits and losses deriving from the trading of securities classified as "long-term" and extraordinary gains and losses are charged to the management accounts based on their origin, meaning based on how the assets are attributed on the date of their realisation or their measurement.

Income tax

Income tax pertaining to investment property is assigned to each management account based on the allocation of the investments to which they refer.

Income tax (IRES, IRAP and deferred tax assets/liabilities) are assigned based on the contribution of each business to the tax result of the year.

Uncertainty in the use of estimates

The application of certain accounting standards implies significant elements of judgment based on estimates and assumptions which are uncertain at the time they are formulated.

As regards the 2021 financial statements, it is believed that the assumptions made are appropriate and, therefore, that the financial statements have been drafted clearly and give a true and fair view of the statement of financial position, income statement and statement of cash flows. The relevant paragraphs of the notes to the financial statements provide full and adequate details of the reasons underlying the decisions made and the measurements performed. In order to formulate reliable estimates and assumptions, reference has been made to past experience, and to other factors considered reasonable for the case in question, based on all available information.

However, we cannot exclude that changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a significant effect on the statement of financial position and income statement as well as on the potential assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements for disclosure purposes, if different elements emerge with respect to those considered originally.

In particular, the greater use of subjective assessments by company management was necessary in the following cases:

  • calculation of the current value of financial assets and liabilities where this could not be directly observed on active markets. In this case, the subjective elements lie in the choice of measurement models or input parameters that cannot be directly observed on the market;
  • definition of parameters used in the analytical assessment of securities investments to verify any impairment. In particular, reference is made to the choice of measurement models and the main assumptions and parameters used;
  • assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets;
  • quantification of provisions for risks and charges where there is uncertainty about the amount required and the contingency periods;
  • in the estimation processes leading to determination of the technical provisions.

In such cases an explanation is provided with the aim of providing investors with a better understanding of the main causes of uncertainty, but in no way is meant to suggest that alternative assumptions might be appropriate or more valid. In addition, the financial statements measurements are made on the basis of going concern assumptions, as no risks have been identified that could compromise orderly business operations.

Part B: Information on the Statement of Financial Position and Income Statement

The Company jointly carries on the Non-Life and Life insurance businesses and, as required by ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 as subsequently amended and integrated, separately draws up a Statement of Financial Position regarding the Non-Life business (Annex 1) and a Statement of Financial Position regarding the Life business (Annex 2), as well as the statement of breakdown of the profit (loss) for the year between the Non-Life business and the Life business (Annex 3).

The financial statements for the year 2021 closed with a profit of €648,137k, €487,623k of which in the Non-Life business and €160,514k in the Life business.

Statement of Financial Position - Assets

The items in the Statement of Financial Position and the changes in corresponding balances with respect to the previous year are given below, with additional information as required by current regulations.

Section 1 - Intangible assets - (item B)

The "intangible assets" item at 31 December 2021 amounted to €715,302k, decreasing by €16,380k compared to the financial position of the previous year (−2.2%). The various components are commented on below.

1.1 Acquisition commissions to be amortised (item B.1)

Acquisition commissions to be amortised totalled €78,272k, €63,024k of which in the Life business and €15,248k in the Non-Life business. The change is positive by €1,626k compared to the financial position of the previous year.

1.3 Goodwill (item B.4)

Goodwill came to a total of €328,558k, €275,569 of which belonging to the Non-Life business and €52,988 to the Life business, and it is amortised in 20 years. The change is negative by €55,071k compared to the financial position of the previous year, due to amortisation for the period.

The item includes:

  • the goodwill relating to the company transactions that Aurora Assicurazioni merged into Unipol Assicurazioni concluded in 2004, for a residual value of €17,703k in the Non-Life business and €12,970k in the Life business;
  • the deficit arising from the merger of Unipol, Milano and Premafin into UnipolSai, that took place on 6 January 2014 for a residual value of €260,784k of which €220,864k related to the Non-Life business and €39,920k to the Life business;
  • the deficit emerging from the merger by incorporation of UnipolSai Real Estate, Europa Tutela Giudiziaria, Sai Holding, Systema and UnipolSai Servizi Tecnologici into UnipolSai, which took place on 31 December 2015 with accounting effect on 1 January 2015 for a residual amount of €754k allocated entirely to the Non-Life business;
  • the goodwill recognised in relation to the acquisition on 31 December 2015 of the Linear Life business unit for a residual amount of €99k attributed entirely to the Life business;
  • the deficit emerging from the merger of Liguria and Liguria Vita, which took place on 31 January 2016 with accounting effect on 1 January 2016 for a residual amount of €36,248k allocated entirely to the Non-Life business.

1.4 Other long-term costs (item B.5)

Other long-term costs, amounting to €308,472k (item B5), recorded a net increase of €37,065k compared to the 2020 figure. Of this item, €6,792k referred to the Life business and €301,680k to the Non-Life business.

The changes during the year are listed and summarised in the following table:

Valori in migliaia di euro 31/12/2020 Purchases Amortisation/
depreciation
31/12/2021
Development and integration projects 204,838 82,565 42,241 245,161
Software and Licences 57,163 20,418 20,358 57,223
Improvements to third party assets 9,315 1,357 4,672 6,000
Other long-term expenses 92 20 24 88
Total 271,407 104,360 67,294 308,472

The most consistent component regarded expenses for third-party services relating to IT development and integration projects, which had a balance of €245,161k at 31 December 2021, with increases during the period of €82,565k due primarily to IT projects and the development of digital technologies.

Other long-term expenses included trademarks for €68k.

Research, development and advertising costs were not recorded as intangible assets. These costs are recognised in profit or loss as in previous years.

All assets classified under this item are considered of long-term use.

The changes in intangible assets during the year are summarised in Annex 4.

Section 2 - Investments (item C)

2.1 Land and buildings (item C.I)

Class C.I asset accounts net of their depreciation broke down as follows at 31 December 2021:

Amounts in €k Assets Accum. deprec. Net assets
Property for own use 666,591 187,495 479,096
Property for use by third parties 819,991 170,170 649,821
Other property 9,096 9,096
Other rights 2,630 350 2,279
Total 1,498,307 358,014 1,140,293

All land and buildings owned are considered of long-term use.

In implementing the reference IVASS regulation (ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008), the Company calculated the current value of owned land and buildings using appraisal estimates prepared by independent experts appointed by the Board of Directors, through the distinct measurement of each asset by applying methodologies that differ according to the characteristics of the asset: either the equity type supplemented by elements that take into account the profitability of the property, the comparative type, or the transformation type.

  • the assignment of shares of the parent Unipol to executive personnel, under the compensation plans based on financial instruments, for €7,264k.

More in particular, with reference to the individual investee Companies, the following is pointed out:

• Cambiomarcia: on 19 March 2021, the shareholders' meeting - along with other matters subject to discussion decided to increase the share capital to €250k, therefore by €236k. This increase was subscribed by the sole shareholder and paid on 25 March 2021, along with the share premium determined by the Cambiomarcia Board of Directors as €4,764k, for a total of €5,000k.

On 3 June 2021, following the determination of the net financial position and the shareholders' equity at the date on which the Cambiomarcia sale took place - lower than those items at the reference date - the amounts deposited in restricted current accounts in favour of the sellers were released, for a total amount reduced by €77k, equal to the price adjustment. The final carrying amount of the equity investment is €10,848k.

  • Centri Medici Dyadea: on 20 April 2021, the shareholders' meeting approved full coverage of cumulative losses at 31 December 2020 by decreasing the share capital from €1,859k to €649k and subsequently increasing the share capital by €5,000k. The sole shareholder UnipolSai made a preventive payment for the share capital increase, which was therefore subscribed and paid in at the same shareholders' meeting. Therefore, the Company owns 100% of the share capital, equal to a nominal value of €5,649k.
  • Downall in liquidazione: on 1 April 2021, following the conclusion of the voluntary liquidation procedure, the company was stricken from the Milan Register of Companies.
  • Gruppo GPA in liquidazione: on 8 July 2021, following the conclusion of the bankruptcy procedure in which it was involved, the company was stricken from the Milan Register of Companies.
  • Gruppo UNA: on 4 June 2021, UnipolSai made a capital account payment of €40,000k in favour of the subsidiary in order to replenish its shareholders' equity, which had reduced due to losses during the health emergency. The year 2020, which closed with a loss of €23,000k, resulted in the reduction by more than one-third of the share capital and tourism industry trends at global level in the first half of 2021 did not show signs of a recovery. The capital strengthening was carried out in order to allow the subsidiary to relaunch its business and guarantee its proper positioning in the reference market.
  • Ital H&R: the financial statements at 31 December 2020 closed with a negative shareholders' equity of €198k, making the subsidiary meet the conditions set forth in Art. 2482-bis and 2482-ter of the Italian Civil Code. At the request of the Board of Directors of Ital H&R, on 30 March 2021, the sole shareholder UnipolSai made a capital account payment of €300k in order to enable the company to bring its shareholders' equity back above the minimum limit established by law.
  • Meridiano Secondo: on 19 January 2021, the subsidiary requested a capital account payment for a total of €60,000k, to be disbursed in four tranches of €15,000k, intended to finance owned real estate initiatives. On 25 January, 20 April and 20 December, UnipolSai disbursed three tranches for a total of €45,000k.
  • MNTTN: on 22 June 2021, the company MNTTN S.p.A. was established by full payment of the share capital of €120k which is held entirely by UnipolSai. The company, after enrolling in the Single Register of Intermediaries at IVASS, will carry out insurance brokerage activities.
  • Nextalia SGR: on 12 February 2021 at the time of its establishment UnipolSai subscribed 50k class B shares of the management company by making a payment of €5,050k, of which €5,000k for the share premium. UnipolSai therefore owns 5% of the total share capital of Nextalia SGR (broken down into 800k class A shares and 200k class B shares).
  • Nuove Iniziative Toscane: on 4 June 2021, a capital account payment of €500k was made within the scope of the capitalisation commitment for a total of €5,700k assumed by UnipolSai with reference to the primary urbanisation works required to activate the Marescialli School, as part of the Castello project, delayed by the collection of the security deposit when the preliminary agreement was signed for the sale of several owned lots of land to Toscana Aeroporti. The residual commitment at 31 December 2021 amounted to €3,000k.
  • Servizi Immobiliari Martinelli: on 1 March 2021, it repurchased the shares held by the non-controlling shareholders UnipolSai and Casa Amica. Against the sale of 200 shares with a nominal value of €100 held, UnipolSai collected €100k. The transaction led to a capital gain of €80k.
  • UnipolAssistance: on 13 December 2021 a payment of €141k was made to cover prior year losses.
  • UnipolPay: on 30 June 2021, the authorisation was received from the Bank of Italy to exercise e-money institute (IMEL) activities. On 5 July, UnipolPay was enrolled with the Register of Companies of Bologna, with the simultaneous conversion of the receivable for the payment of share capital carried out on establishment on 2 December 2020 into an equity investment for €350k. On 7 July and 22 December 2021, UnipolSai paid, in two tranches of €10,000k and €17,000k, the share capital increase for a total of €27,000k approved by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting on 7 July 2021.
  • UnipolSai Servizi Consortili in liquidazione: to conclude the voluntary liquidation process, on 23 December 2021 the consortium members approved the final liquidation financial statements and the relative distribution plan. On the same date, the consortium made a payment for the amounts due: the Company collected a total of €31,787k, of which €29,054k for the distribution of capital reserves and €2,733k for the distribution of profit reserves. UnipolSai also received €161k by way of funding for two outstanding dispute positions transferred by the Consortium, as well as fully depreciated property, plant and equipment. The consortium was struck off from the Bologna Register of Companies on 29 December 2021.

• UnipolSai Nederland B.V.: on 25 June 2021, the Dutch subsidiary made a partial repayment of the Share Premium reserve for €23,000k, using the available liquidity deriving from the sale of UnipolSai shares in 2019. On 20 December 2021, UnipolSai made the payment of €75,000k to the Share Premium reserve, in order to provide the subsidiary with the financial resources required to subscribe a share capital increase in the same amount of the subsidiary UnipolRe Dac.

With regard to further details on the shares and holdings (item C.II.1), please refer to the following statements provided in the annexes to the notes to the financial statements:

a) changes in shares and holdings in the year (Annex 5);

b) statement with information relating to Group companies and other investees (Annex 6);

c) analytical statement of movements of investments in investees (Annex 7).

Current value of investments (as per Annexes 5 and 7).

For the investments traded in unregulated markets, a prudent analytical evaluation of their probable realisable value was made.

In particular, the current value of investments in subsidiaries and associates was determined considering the shareholders' equity, if necessary adjusted to take into account current values of the assets and, where verifiable, a goodwill value: the value of recognition higher than the portion of shareholders' equity stated in the latest financial statements of the investee, if any, refers to an estimated value of the economic capital of the company deriving from appraisals issued by independent experts at the time of acquisition or from estimates made internally on the basis of methodologies and parameters commonly used in professional practices, and from the evaluation of the prospective plans drawn up by the company.

The current amount of investments was €3,599,137k, whilst their carrying amount comes to €3,677,557k. The difference referred exclusively to investments in listed companies.

As provided for by Art. 16 of Italian Legislative Decree 173/97, the following table regarding the investments in subsidiaries and associates classified as "long-term" is provided, the carrying amount being higher than the pro-rata shareholders' equity of the investee:

With regard to the investments referred to above, note that the higher carrying amount in the financial statements compared to the corresponding portion of the carrying amount of shareholders' equity represents goodwill. This higher value is supported by an internal estimate intended to determine the "value in use" of the equity investment, as specified below.

For investments held in insurance companies, the following methodologies were used:

Linear and UniSalute: the excess capital version of a Dividend Discount Model (DDM) was used;

Arca: the Sum of Parts ("SoP") method was adopted, using an Appraisal Value type method for Arca Vita and Arca Vita International, and the excess capital version of the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) for Arca Assicurazioni;

DDOR Novi Sad: the excess capital version of a Dividend Discount Model (DDM) was used.

As regards the investments held in companies other than insurance ones:

MNTTN: the company, which carries out insurance brokerage activities was established in June 2021, therefore it is considered to be in the start-up phase;

UnipolPay: the company, which issues electronic money, was established at the end of 2020 and enrolled in the Register of Companies in July 2021, therefore it is considered to be in the start-up phase.

Marina di Loano: the higher amount recognised in the financial statements relative to the corresponding portion of shareholders' equity is due to unrealised capital gains on properties;

Meridiano Secondo and Casa di Cura Villa Donatello: the higher amount recognised in the financial statements relative to the corresponding portion of shareholders' equity is due to unrealised capital gains on properties and to entries pertaining to tax items;

Gruppo Una, Centri Medici Dyadea, Cambiomarcia and UnipolRental: in order to determine the "value in use", the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) methodology was used;

UnipolSai Nederland BV: the higher value recognised on the financial statements compared to the corresponding portion of shareholders' equity is due to the unrealised capital gain on the carrying amount of the subsidiary UnipolRe;

Funivie Piccolo San Bernardo: the higher carrying amount with respect to the corresponding share of shareholders' equity is supported by the adjusted shareholders' equity, which takes into account the state relief recognised by the company in the year subsequent to the reference year;

With regard to the associates, note that on the basis of information currently available in connection with the expected repayment flows for Isola and Garibaldi, recoverability of the investment is not considered in jeopardy.

The other differences are not deemed significant.

Bonds

At 31 December 2021, bonds issued by Group companies and other investees amounting to €9,419k had been booked, all classified under long-term investments, unchanged compared to the previous period.

Currently, the item includes the following bonds:

As has already been pointed out in the Management Report, the decrease in the item was basically due to the net effect of the following transactions:

  • full repayment by Unipol, for a residual nominal value equal to €267,785k, of the loans previously granted by UnipolSai, when the latter took over the role of issuer of the subordinated loans originally issued by Unipol;
  • in July 2021, €26,118k was distributed to the subsidiary UnipolRental, as the residual share of the loan granted on 21 July 2020 for a total of €150,000k. In the following months, an additional loan to be disbursed in multiple tranches was granted for up to a maximum amount of €150,000k, disbursed on 9 July 2021 for €80,000k;

Item C.III.6, totalling €118,097k, refers to term "bank deposits" with a duration of more than 15 days, with an increase by €97,982k.

The amount at the end of the period also included the deposit of the sum withheld as a guarantee on the price for the purchase of the category A shares of UnipolRental (equal to 25% of the relative equivalent value), for a value at 31 December 2021 of €17,516k (€19,456k at 31/12/2020) and deposits of sums withheld as a guarantee on the price for the purchase of the Cambiomarcia shares for a value of €573k (€650k at 31/12/2020).

Transactions involving bonds attributed to the long-term segment

To ensure the availability of freely negotiable investments, the Company has adopted an Investment and Liquidity Policy that was approved with a board of directors' resolution, wherein a maximum limit of long-term investments was established (70% Life and 60% Non-Life), calculated on the Company's total investments, which include both equity instruments and debt securities, except for investments considered strategic, all investments falling under Class D (Class III and Class VI) and those covering defined benefit policies.

The total of the reference investments to verify the incidence of the securities of the long-term segment at 31 December 2021, calculated as explained above, consists of the following, separately for the Non-Life and Life businesses:

Non-Life business

Amounts in €k
Non Life- Business 2021
C.III.1 Shares and holdings 662,898
C.III.2 Mutual investment fund units 2,429,643
C.III.3 Bonds and other fixed-yield securities 7,517,293
C.III.6 Bank deposits 18,097
C.III.7 Sundry financial investments (*)
F.II.1 Liquidity 81,234
Total 10,709,165

(*) limited to repurchase agreements.

Life business

Amounts in €k
Life- Business 2021
C.III.1 Shares and holdings 602,416
C.III.2 Mutual investment fund units 2,574,628
C.III.3 Bonds and other fixed-yield securities (*) 23,527,584
C.III.6 Bank deposits 100,000
C.III.7 Sundry financial investments (**)
F.II.1 Liquidity 315,107
Total 27,119,734

(*) Except those covering defined benefit policies.

(**) limited to repurchase agreements.

In the period, no transfers of securities were made from the long-term segment to the short-term segment and vice versa for the Non-Life and Life businesses.

Total long-term investments in the Non-Life business at 31 December 2021 amounted to €3,880,661k, which is 36.24% of total financial investments.

Total long-term investments in the Life business at 31 December 2021 amounted to €16,566,402k (not including those covering defined benefit policies), which is 61.09% of total financial investments.

Overall, in the Non-Life segment sales amounted to €144,978k and resulted in the realisation of net capital gains of €19,461k, in the Life segment they amounted to €69,812k, with net capital gains realised of €4,323k.

The sales carried out in the Non-Life business followed two different approaches. On one side, the sales concerned securities with long-term maturities, as part of the process of reducing concentration risk on Italian government bonds, and on the other they regarded securities maturing within 2021, in order to anticipate the provision of liquidity necessary to meet structural portfolio requirements, given the particularly negative level of rates on extremely shortterm maturities.

In the Life business, sales were determined by the need to rebalance the assets underlying the segregated funds.

The sales of structured securities carried out in both segments are in any event part of the programme for reducing exposure to structured securities and simplifying the Company's portfolio.

2.4 Deposits with ceding companies (item C.IV)

These receivables at 31 December 2021 amounted to €170,704k, increasing by €23,046k compared to the 2020 figure (+15.6%).

These are deposits set up as guarantee at the ceding companies in connection with the risks undertaken in reinsurance, whose movements (establishment and repayment) take place annually or periodically. Their duration largely depends on the specific nature of the underlying insurance benefits and on the actual duration of the reinsurance agreements, which are renegotiated at the end of each year.

Deposits with ceding companies were not written down as they are considered recoverable.

Section 3 - Investments benefiting Life business policyholders that bear the risk and investments arising from Pension Fund management (item D)

The investments regarding the technical provisions pertaining to contracts having the characteristics indicated by Art. 41 of Italian Legislative Decree 209 of 7 September 2005 "Private Insurance Code" are reported in Class D.I. These are specifically Index-Linked and Unit-Linked products.

The balance of Class D.I amounted to €1,100,372k, which increased by €292,214k compared to the previous year (+36.2%).

During the period, no assets were transferred from class D.I to class C, or from class C to class D.

The details of the assets relating to contracts whose benefits are linked with investment funds and market indices (item D.I) are provided in Annexes 11 (Total), 11/1 and 11/2 for the two types of product (Index-Linked and Unit-Linked). Class D.II records the investments relating to the defined contribution open pension fund and includes 17 occupational pension funds for which management backed by guarantee is carried out.

These investments at the end of 2021 amounted to a total of €4,301,119k, increasing by €23,536k (+0.6%) compared to the previous year, primarily due to the liquidation of the Cometa fund.

Section 4 - Technical provisions - reinsurers' share (item D.bis)

The balance of this item at 31 December 2021 amounted to €504,989k. The breakdown and change compared with the previous year are summarised in the following table:

Amounts in €k 2021 2020 Change on
2020
Life business technical provisions 12,156 13,255 (1,099)
Life business - amounts payable 1,962 5,967 (4,005)
Non-Life premium provision 90,826 81,738 9,088
Non-Life claims provision 400,046 455,916 (55,871)
Total 504,989 556,876 (51,887)
(9.3)%

The amount, down compared to the previous year, reflects the performance of the direct business of the company and the trend in reinsurance agreements.

The technical provisions - reinsurers' share are calculated using the same criteria used for allocating direct business provisions while also considering the contractual reinsurance clauses.

The reinsurers' share is determined with the same criteria used for forming risks underwritten provisions and represent their share of the contractual commitments.

Section 5 - Receivables (item E)

The balance of this item at 31 December 2021 was €3,430,900k. The breakdown and change compared with the previous year are summarised in the following table:

13.0%

Receivables from policyholders (item E.I.1) accounted for 5.7% of direct premiums of the year (6.1% in 2020).

These receivables included receivables of doubtful collection, against which a write-down of €58,610k was made (unchanged compared to 31/12/2020). The valuation of receivables from policyholders was made taking into account the historic trend of the rates of recovery of the receivables. Significant unit amounts in the receivables of doubtful collection are not reported.

Receivables from agents and other intermediaries (item E.I.2) mostly consist of the portfolio reimbursements from the agencies and the receivables for premiums collected toward the end of the year.

The bad debt provision allocated and referred mainly to receivables for reimbursements, which totalled €18,111k, was sufficient to cover the receivables of doubtful collection.

Receivables from policyholders and third parties for amounts to be recovered amounted to €121,160k, and are recorded at their estimated realisable value. With respect to 31 December 2020, they decreased by €8,850k.

Receivables from insurance and reinsurance companies and from reinsurance intermediaries (item E.II), for the most part short-term, derived from inwards and outwards reinsurance relations, and amounted to €64,846k at 31 December 2021, increasing by €7,148k compared to 2020 (+12.4%).

These amounts are net of the relevant bad debt provision that totalled €22,087k. The doubtful positions are measured individually.

The receivable is secured by a bank guarantee on first request for the initial amount of €29,823,750 then reduced - following the payments made in the meantime - to €18,171,750. The guarantee covers MMA's commitment to the obligation for periodic settlement of the additional differential that may be noted by the Auditor, no later than 3 months from the end of each half, with respect to the net amount paid after 30 June 2014, net of the relative periodic payments received.

  • €300,000k (former Unipol Assicurazioni) subordinated bond loan issued in July 2003 by the holding company Unipol Gruppo that the Company took over as issuer in 2009. The loan was for 20 years with option of early repayment every three months starting from July 2013. The loan, which was listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, had characteristics such that it could be calculated amongst the elements forming the Solvency margin, had a comparable subordination level to Tier II and was subject to the interim measures prescribed by the Solvency II regulations. Following a partial repurchase at the end of 2009 for a nominal value of €38,311k, the actual debt of this loan amounted to €261,689k. The total net interest for the year at 31 December 2021 was €1,688k.

The total interest for the year at 31 December 2021, also taking into account the subordinated loans terminated early, totalled €101,704k.

(*) The "Additional Costs Clauses" contained in the original loan agreements, oblige UnipolSai to indemnify Mediobanca for any cost incurred by the latter due to changes in the laws or in their interpretation or application; this case emerged when EU Regulation no. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council (Capital Requirement Regulation) came into force, amending the system of deduction of the loans granted by banks to insurance companies.

Non-Life business technical provisions

The Non-Life business technical provisions at 31 December 2021 totalled €12,978,356k (+€111,793k compared to 31/12/2020) and were formed in observance of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 as amended (hereafter defined "Regulation"), issued in implementation of Art. 37, paragraph 1 of Decree Law 209/2005.

Premium provision

The premium provision amounted to €3,015,973k (-0.5% compared to 31/12/2020) and breaks down as follows:

  • €2,910,204k for premium provision for unearned premiums and supplementary provisions;
  • €59,691k for premium provision for unexpired risks;

The premium provision for unearned premiums was calculated for each risk according to the "pro rata temporis" method, which involves deferring a portion of premium proportionate to the hedge time lacking until the receipt expires.

Then the directly chargeable acquisition costs are deducted in order to calculate the premium provision. They are calculated based on the percentage incidence, compared to gross premiums written, of expense items relating to acquisition commissions, overcommissions and other items incurred during the year.

As for the supplementary provisions of the premium provision:

• the bonds supplementary provision, which amounted to €38,164k, was calculated on the basis of Articles 10 and 11 of Annex no. 15 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations (the value for the previous year was €35,549k);

  • the supplementary provision for insurance covering damages caused by natural disasters consisting of earthquake, seaquake and volcanic eruption amounted to €319,967k (€278,566k at 31 December 2020) and was calculated on the basis of Art. 16 of Annex no. 15 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations;
  • the supplementary provision for insurance covering damages caused by hail was calculated on the basis of Articles 12 and 13 of Annex no. 15 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations. Based on the verifications performed, it was not necessary to allocate any additional amounts to that provision, like what took place at 31 December 2020;
  • the allocation regarding the provision for unexpired risks, corresponding to €59,691k, was calculated on the basis of Art. 8 of Annex no. 15 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations (empirical method), based on the ratio of claims to premiums pertaining the current generation recorded in the reporting year and measured also taking into account values gathered from the ratio in previous years;

The instalments falling due are calculated by adding up all the portions of premium still unissued until the year is completed. To measure the claims to premium ratio, the Company considered the average of the values recorded in the last three financial statements. Only in the case in which this result was higher than 100% was a provision for unexpired risks set aside. The provision is equal to the sum that allows the balance between premium provisions plus instalments falling due and the expected costs to be re-established. Based on these calculations, the provision was made to the Land Vehicle TPL and Fire classes, the only classes where the expected claims exceed the value of the premium provision plus the instalments due.

The item Provision for unexpired risks also still includes the share of premiums which it is estimated have not yet been exposed to risk, intended to cover the discount usable by customers in the future when they renew their MV TPL policy, equal to one month of the premium not used (#UnMesePerTe initiative). The amount at 31 December 2021, equal to €43,839k, was calculated considering the one-month premiums accrued, the relative fees and the propensity to renew;

• the supplementary provision in the Credit class amounted to €10k (€29k at 31/12/2020) and was determined on the basis of the provisions of Annex no. 15-bis to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent integrations and amendments, and Article 4 of Ministerial Decree of 23 May 1981.

Other provisions

  • The provision for profit sharing and reversals (item C.I.3) amounted to €3,475k. The decrease compared to 31 December 2020 was €2,235k (−39.1%) and was calculated according to the provisions of Art. 45 of Annex no. 15 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations, taking into account the amounts to pay to policyholders and beneficiaries of the contracts by way of technical profit sharing and premium reversal.
  • Other technical provisions (item C.I.4) amounted to €527k (€678k at 31/12/2020). They consist of the direct business ageing provision calculated on the basis of Articles 42, 43 and 44 of Annex no. 15 to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations in the amount of €490k (€644k at 31/12/2020) and the indirect business ageing provision in the amount of €37k (€34k at 31/12/2020), not present in the previous year.

All health insurance contracts part of the Italian portfolio not having the characteristics set forth in Art. 43 of Annex no. 15 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations were selected, and left out, of the calculation when determining the direct business ageing provision. The gross premiums of 2021 relating to the remaining portfolio amounted to €4,903k.

The flat rate of 10% was applied on these premiums. This rate is considered sufficient considering the low average contractual duration of the policies in portfolio (5 years) and since there is no long-term "whole life" product.

• The equalisation provisions (item C.I.5), which amounted to €89,189k (€83,487k was the amount of the provisions at 31/12/2020) included €88,826k for the equalisation provision for risks of natural disasters aimed at offsetting the trend of claims over time and formed based on Art. 37 of Decree Law 209/2005, €70k for the equalisation provision for credit insurance business and the remaining €293k for the other technical provisions of indirect business.

Claims provision:

The claims provision (direct and indirect business) amounted to €9,869,193k, an increase compared to last year's figure of €9,746,935k. As far as direct business is concerned, it consists of:

  • €8,012,280k for compensations and direct expenses;
  • €1,034,319k of provision for claims incurred but not reported;
  • €600,165k of provision for settlement expenses.

The increase in the claims provision resulted from claims for the year: indeed, claims resumed compared to the year 2020, when they slowed due to the lockdown imposed by the Italian government to address the spread of the pandemic. The claim settlement rate remained at high levels, although it was down, and positive run-offs were lower than last year.

The provision in indirect business totalled €222,430k.

The claims provision for direct business is calculated with the so-called inventory method together with assessments made with statistical-actuarial methodologies, as established by Art. 24 of Annex no. 15 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations. Upon opening of the claims an estimate of reference is proposed on the system that the adjuster is required to accept until when he/she has information that allows him/her to make a more detailed appraisal of the claim.

The provisions are continuously updated. The adjuster must update the reserve each time he/she learns of information that causes a considerable shift in the value of the position in question since it affects the liability or the value of the damage.

The update of the provisions is monitored with the creation of an automatic ageing report that is triggered when some conditions (no estimate, reopening, change in outcome) occur or by the fact that a given number of months has elapsed, variable depending on the class, over which the adjuster must update the valuation of the provision.

The final quantification of the total amount to record on the financial statements is determined by, where applicable, also resorting to statistical-actuarial methodologies carried out by the management structure in conformity with regulations in force. More specifically, evaluations deriving from the trend of the property/persons mix, the settlement rate and the average cost of the previous year are used for the MV TPL claims for the year.

The indirect settlement expense quantification and attribution procedure involves an analysis by cost centre of the personnel expenses and overheads that catalogues what is attributable to the settlement expenses beforehand.

Attribution to the single classes (for the not directly allocated expenses) and to generation for the year is done according to the claims paid.

The provision for direct and indirect settlement expenses was measured by applying, per year of occurrence of the claims, the percentage obtained from the historic analysis of the incidence of the expenses paid on the indemnities to the amount of the provisions estimated at final cost.

The provision for claims incurred but not reported is calculated based on the provisions of Art. 29 of Annex no. 15 of ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 and subsequent amendments and integrations, with the frequency of the claims and average cost measured separately.

The final figures recorded in the year with regard to what is forecast at the end of the previous year are also considered for the allocations. For more details on the methods used to calculate the claims provision, please refer to section A of these notes.

The changes in the year in the premium provision components (item C.I.1) and the Non-Life claims provision (item C.I.2) are indicated in Annex 13.

Life business technical provisions

The Life business technical provisions (Class C.II) at 31 December 2021 amounted to a total of €25,859,011k (€25,635,922k at 31/12/2020). The increase was €223,089k.

The amount of the technical provisions is adequate for the Company's commitments with the contracting parties, the policyholders and the beneficiaries, and are broken down as follows:

  • €25,485,124k relating to the mathematical provision of direct business and the supplementary insurance provisions;
  • €269,519k for direct business amounts payable;
  • €96,520k relating to the sundry technical provisions, which entirely refer to allocations for future operating expenses;
  • €5,525k relating to the provision for profit sharing and reversals;
  • €1,814k relating to the mathematical provision of indirect business;
  • €510k for indirect business amounts payable.

The provision for direct business amounts payable at the end of the year amounted to €269,519k (€502,455k at 31/12/2020), €137,372k of which relating to the previous year. The comparison with the figure at the end of 2020 was impacted by significant volumes expiring at the end of December 2020 settled in the early months of 2021, for contracts issued at the end of 2000, the last year with the benefit of tax deductibility on all life policies.

The changes in the year in mathematical provision components (item C.II.1) and provision for profit sharing and reversals (item C.II.4) are indicated in Annex 14.

The other technical provisions (item C.II.5), which amounted to €96,520k at 31 December 2021 (€97,224k the figure at 31/12/2020) entirely refer to allocations for future operating expenses and are broken down by class as follows:

Section 11 - Technical provisions where the investment risk is borne by policyholders (item D.I) and provisions arising from Pension Fund management (item D.II)

This category includes the Life insurance policies where the yield is based on investments or indices for which the policyholder bears the risk. The related mathematical provisions are calculated with reference to the obligations provided by the agreements and are represented with the best possible approximation by the reference assets.

The total amount at 31 December 2021 amounted to €5,401,491k, increasing against the previous year by €315,750k (+6.2%) compared to the previous year. With reference to the product types in the portfolio, the amount of the technical provisions breaks down as follows:

The deferred tax provisions amounted to €33,238k and referred to the charge expected for taxes that will become due in future years.

Additional information on the deferred tax liabilities is provided in the statement (drawn up pursuant to Art. 2427, paragraph 1, point 14 of the Civil Code) provided in section 21 of the Income Statement.

Provisions for tax risks, €9,317k, included items pertaining to current and potential tax disputes, of which €7,642k for disputes and €1,675k for other estimated risks.

The provision for future charges, which amounted to €317,428k, presented a net increase of €25,793k compared to the previous year, and mainly consists of:

• €111,506k for allocations for charges arising from relations with the intermediaries both for items in litigation and for estimated losses on portfolio indemnities to assign (€113,791k at 31/12/2020);

  • €60,602k for cases in litigation given to lawyers (€63,986k at 31/12/2020);

The surplus is recognised against liabilities closed in the course of 2021.

€37,873k of the employee leaving provision were used for the disbursements incurred during the year and are adequate to make future payments.

The movements of the provisions for risks and charges during the period are summarised in Annex 15. The contra-items in the income statement to allocations to provisions for risks and charges are primarily the item other expenses and the item income taxes for the year; the solidarity and employee leaving provision in the item extraordinary expenses.

Ongoing disputes and contingent liabilities

Relations with the Tax Authorities

There were no significant changes compared to the financial statements at 31 December 2020. Amounts deemed fair to cover the potential estimated liabilities deriving from already formalised charges, for which no tax dispute has yet been brought or has not yet been formalised, were allocated to the income tax provision and the provision for sundry risks and charges.

As regards the settlement of the dispute deriving from the application of VAT on delegation fees against co-insurance relations with other companies in the insurance sector, the expense for which was allocated during previous years, in 2021 the years 2016 and 2017 were settled with the competent Regional Directorate of the Italian Revenue Agency, with the payment only of the tax and interest due, while the year 2018 has not yet been defined.

Commitments deriving from the sale of Unipol Banca

As part of arrangements relating to the sale to BPER Banca of the entire equity investment in Unipol Banca, Unipol Gruppo and UnipolSai committed, inter alia, to indemnifying BPER Banca - on a pro-rata basis in relation to the interest transferred - for losses deriving from specifically identified dispute counterclaims of the Unipol Banca Group outstanding at 31 March 2019 (€10m; the "Losses from Dispute Counterclaims"), provided that such losses are effectively and definitively incurred and within the limits and to the extent they exceed, net of tax relief, the related provisions allocated in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Unipol Banca Group at 31 March 2019. Similarly, the acquirer BPER is committed to paying an amount to the sellers for any excess of the aforementioned provisions over and above the Losses from Dispute Counterclaims. Provisions deemed suitable were allocated against the commitments described above.

Consob sanction proceedings

By means of communications dated 19 April 2013, Consob commenced two separate sanction proceedings against Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni for charges relating to their respective 2010 consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to Art. 187-septies, paragraph 1 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, Consob notified Ms. Jonella Ligresti and Mr. Emanuele Erbetta, for the offices held in Fondiaria-SAI at the time of the events, of the violation set forth in Art. 187 ter, paragraph 1, of the Consolidated Law on Finance. Fondiaria-SAI is also charged with this violation as a party bearing joint and several liability. It is also charged with the offence set forth in Art. 187-quinquies, paragraph 1, letter a), of the Consolidated Law on Finance for the aforementioned violation of Art. 187-ter, paragraph 1 of the Consolidated Law on Finance by Ms. Jonella Ligresti and Mr. Emanuele Erbetta, acting in the above mentioned capacities.

Consob also made the same charge against Milano Assicurazioni. In this regard, pursuant to Art. 187-septies, paragraph 1 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Commission charged Mr. Emanuele Erbetta, for the role he held in the subsidiary at the time of the events, with the violation established in Art. 187-ter, paragraph 1, of the Consolidated Law on Finance. Milano Assicurazioni is also charged with this violation as a party bearing joint and several liability. It is also charged with the offence set forth in Art. 187-quinquies, paragraph 1, letter a), of the Consolidated Law on Finance for the aforementioned violation of Art. 187-ter, paragraph 1 of the Consolidated Law on Finance by Mr. Emanuele Erbetta, acting in the above mentioned capacity.

Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni (currently UnipolSai), assisted by their lawyers, presented their conclusions, asking that the administrative penalties set out in Articles 187-ter, 187-quinquies and 187-septies of the Consolidated Law on Finance not be imposed on the companies. On 20 March 2014 the Consob issued a resolution whereby, not deeming that the parties' defences deserved to be accepted, it ordered:

  • Jonella Ligresti to pay €250k and to be disqualified from office for four months;
  • Emanuele Erbetta to pay €400k and to be disqualified from office for eight months;
  • UnipolSai to pay €650k.

UnipolSai provided for the payment of the fines, and also filed an appeal against Ms. Ligresti. Mr. Erbetta directly paid the penalty imposed on him. In any case, UnipolSai challenged the decision before the Court of Appeal of Bologna, which rejected the appeal on 6 March 2015. The Company, assisted by its lawyers, challenged the decision before the Court of Cassation which, on 6 December 2018, rejected the appeal and confirmed the Consob sanctions.

In March 2019, the Company challenged the decision before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), asking for the cancellation of the sanction for the breach of the ne bis in idem principle, according to which a person should not be submitted to sanction or judicial proceedings several times for the same fact.

IVASS assessments

On 2 July 2014, IVASS sent to UnipolSai the order of sanctions at the end of the proceedings started in 2012 against Unipol Assicurazioni on the matter of the measurement of the claims provisions of the MV and Boats TPL classes. The sanction imposed was €27,500. Since UnipolSai does not deem the conclusions of the Institute to be acceptable in any way, it appealed against this decision before the Regional Administrative Court (TAR). On 9 September 2015 the Regional Administrative Court rejected the appeal of the Company, which challenged the ruling before the Council of State.

On 21 February 2019 the Council of State accepted an objection submitted by the Company and cancelled the sanction, the amount of which was recovered in full on 26 August 2021.

By notice served on the Company on 11 October 2021, IVASS ordered the initiation of inspections intended, in relation to MV TPL underwriting and settlement processes, to ascertain the adoption of recent regulatory provisions, respect for the CARD convention and the connected governance and control aspects.

Corporate liability action against certain former directors and statutory auditors decided by the Shareholders' Meetings of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni

On 17 October 2011, Amber Capital LP, fund manager of Amber Global Opportunities Master Fund Ltd, a Fondiaria-SAI shareholder, in accordance with Art. 2408 of the Civil Code, informed the Board of Statutory Auditors of Fondiaria-SAI of various transactions carried out by companies in the Fondiaria-SAI Group with "related" companies attributable to the Ligresti family, criticising the "non-market" conditions and "anomalies" of said transactions.

On 16 March 2012 the Board of Statutory Auditors of Fondiaria-SAI issued an initial response in its "Report pursuant to Art. 2408, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code", after which by letter dated 26 March 2012 the shareholder Amber Capital requested further investigation.

The Board of Statutory Auditors therefore performed further controls and investigations. On 15 June 2012 IVASS served Measure no. 2985 upon Fondiaria-SAI by which the Authority defined the proceedings launched pursuant to Art. 238 of the Private Insurance Code, and through IVASS Communication prot. no. 32-12-000057 of the same date charged Fondiaria-SAI with significant irregularities pursuant to Art. 229 of the Private Insurance Code, with particular reference to a number of transactions implemented by Fondiaria-SAI and its subsidiaries with counterparties qualifying as related parties of Fondiaria-SAI, and assigning a fifteen-day deadline for the effects of these transactions to be permanently removed.

IVASS considered that the actions proposed or implemented by the Company were not suitable to correct the situation which led to the charges cited in the notice of 15 June 2012, prolonging – according to IVASS – the inability of Fondiaria-SAI to remedy the violations and the relative effects.

Therefore by Measure no. 3001 of 12 September 2012 (the "IVASS Measure"), IVASS appointed Prof. Matteo Caratozzolo as ad acta commissioner of Fondiaria-SAI (the "Commissioner"), also as Parent, considering the requirements of Art. 229, Italian Legislative Decree no. 209 of 7 September 2005 to be met.

In particular, with regard to the disputed transactions considered not only on an individual basis but as a whole, IVASS tasked the Commissioner with (i) specifically identifying the individuals responsible for the transactions carried out to the detriment of Fondiaria-SAI SpA and its subsidiaries; (ii) determining the damage suffered by the same; (iii) promoting or encouraging the promotion of all necessary initiatives, including judicial, at Fondiaria-SAI SpA and its subsidiaries, suitable, in relation to the disputed transactions, to safeguard and reintegrate the assets of Fondiaria-SAI SpA and its subsidiaries; (iv) exercising the powers held by Fondiaria-SAI SpA as Parent and as a shareholder in the shareholders' meetings of the subsidiaries.

Following the in-depth examinations conducted regarding the above-mentioned transactions, entered into by the Fondiaria-SAI Group primarily in the real estate segment in the 2003-2011 period, which directly involved members of the Ligresti family and certain SPVs attributable to said family, the Commissioner asked the Boards of Directors of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni to call the respective shareholders' meetings, placing on the agenda the proposed corporate liability action, pursuant to Articles 2392 and 2393 of the Civil Code, against some directors and statutory auditors of the companies (jointly with other parties).

On 5 February 2013, the Boards of Directors of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni, having examined the respective reports drafted by the Commissioner in accordance with Art. 125-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, resolved, following the aforementioned request, to call the Shareholders' Meetings of the two companies for 13 and 14 March 2013, on first and second call respectively.

The Shareholders' Meetings, held on second call on 14 March 2013, resolved to promote corporate liability action against the persons indicated in the reports prepared for the Meetings by the Commissioner and made these resolutions public in accordance with law.

As a result of the aforementioned resolutions, the ad acta Commissioner appointed his own lawyers who arranged for civil proceedings to be brought before the Court of Milan against the parties identified as responsible for the transactions described above ("Main Liability Action"). The proceedings are currently at preliminary investigation stage during which the court has, amongst other things, ordered a technical court expert's report.

In relation to the aforementioned transactions, the Companies requested and, on 20 December 2013, obtained a seizure order from the Court of Milan against some of the defendants in the above proceedings. The Company made arrangements to enforce the attachment through the parties concerned and through third parties, and the related enforcement proceedings are still in progress.

The attachment was challenged by the counterparties and on 24 March 2014 the Court of Milan, sitting en banc, confirmed the precautionary provision, rejecting all complaints filed by the counterparties.

Furthermore, with reference to the other transactions involved in the complaint from Amber Capital LP, not included in the Commissioner's mandate ("Minor Transactions"), on the invitation of the Board of Statutory Auditors of Fondiaria-SAI pursuant to Art. 2408 of the Civil Code, the Boards of Directors of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni conducted investigations and checks, which showed that Minor Transactions were also carried out by companies in the Fondiaria-SAI Group with "related" companies attributable to the Ligresti family with various breaches of directors' and statutory auditors' duties. In particular, the investigations and checks highlighted both breaches of directors' and statutory auditors' duties and damages to the company assets of the Fondiaria-SAI Group.

The persons who, as a result of the checks performed by the Boards of Directors, were deemed responsible for the Minor Transactions are (i) members of the Ligresti family, who exercised control over the Fondiaria-SAI Group companies involved, and who would have pursued their own personal interests to the detriment of said companies in violation of Articles 2391 and 2391-bis of the Civil Code and the procedure governing "related party" transactions; (ii) the former "executive" directors, who would have proposed and implemented the transactions in question, and the directors of the internal control committees of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni, who would also have been responsible for the violation of said regulations and procedures; (iii) the statutory auditors who would have also been responsible for the damages suffered by the companies in the Fondiaria-SAI Group due to the violation of Articles 2403 and 2407 of the Civil Code and Art. 149 of the Consolidated Law on Finance.

The liability of members of the Ligresti family in relation to the transaction in question (as with the transactions already involved in the Main Liability Action) would derive not only from the violation of their duties of the offices of director formally held in Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni but also (aa) from the "unitary management" they would have illegitimately exercised over companies in the Fondiaria-SAI Group by helping to approve and implement the transactions constituting a "conflict of interests" and "in violation of the principles of correct corporate and business management" (pursuant to Art. 2497 of the Civil Code); (bb) the de facto interference (in particular from Mr. Salvatore Ligresti) in the administration of the companies in the Fondiaria-SAI Group (in accordance with Art. 2392 of the Civil Code).

Consequently, on 30 July 2013 the Ordinary Shareholders' Meetings of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni resolved to promote Minor Liability Action pursuant to Articles 2392 and 2393 of the Civil Code and, to the extent they may apply, Articles 2043 and 2497 of the Civil Code, against certain former de facto and official directors of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni, regardless of their particular offices held and even if no formal office was held; certain former directors of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni and, pursuant to Art. 2407 of the Civil Code, against certain members of the Board of Statutory Auditors of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni.

In connection with the resolutions mentioned above, UnipolSai (formerly Fondiaria-SAI) served the writ of summons. In March 2021, as the case was still pending, the Company signed a settlement agreement with all defendants which fully defines the two liability actions and which was subject to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting of UnipolSai and the other plaintiff companies of the Unipol Group. The agreement was fully implemented in accordance with the agreed methods and terms. While for the Main Liability Action the formal extinction of the process was declared, for the Minor Liability Action procedural obligations the court adjourned for further consideration on a marginal issue relating to the attribution of legal expenses not concerning the Company.

The terms and conditions of the above-mentioned agreement are summarised in the Directors' Report and in the Information Document drafted pursuant to Art. 5 of the Related Party Transactions Regulation adopted by Consob with Resolution no. 17721 of 12 March 2010 as amended, published with the timing and methods set forth by law and provided on the Company's institutional website.

Ongoing disputes with investors

From 2003 onwards, a number of La Fondiaria Assicurazioni ("Fondiaria") shareholders have initiated a series of legal proceedings claiming, albeit on different legal grounds and justifications, compensation for damages allegedly suffered due to failure to launch the takeover bid on Fondiaria shares by SAI Società Assicuratrice Industriale ("SAI") in 2002.

On the whole, 16 proceedings were brought against the Company; 14 of these were settled at various degrees and stages of the proceeding, while one was extinguished when the first court's decision handed down in favour of the Company became definitive, as the opposing party failed to appeal it.

At 31 December 2021, only one case was still pending before the Court of Cassation, following the decision issued by the Milan Court of Appeal after resumption by the plaintiff. An appropriate provision has been allocated to cover this pending dispute.

Other ongoing proceedings

For some time now UnipolSai Assicurazioni SpA has been a party in criminal and civil proceedings referring to events occurred during the previous management of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni. A summary of the criminal cases finalised during 2021 and those currently still pending is provided below.

2021 saw the definitive closure of legal proceedings in Criminal Case 21713/13 (formerly Gen. Criminal Records Reg. 20219/2012), originally pending before the Fourth Criminal Section of the Court of Turin against officers of the previous management of Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni, accused of the offences of false corporate communications under Art. 2622 of the Civil Code in relation to the 2010 financial statements of Fondiaria-SAI SpA and market manipulation under Art. 185 of the Consolidated Law on Finance ("TUF") on Fondiaria-SAI and Milano Assicurazioni securities, owing to the alleged falsification of the financial statements that allegedly pertained to the claims provisions; within this proceeding, UnipolSai Assicurazioni SpA was summoned and appeared before the court as civilly liable for the actions of the defendants.

At the end of the preliminary hearings and of the trial phase, on 11 October 2016 the Court affirmed the criminal liability of the majority of the defendants and sentenced them, jointly and severally with those bearing civil liability, including UnipolSai Assicurazioni, to provide compensation for damages in favour of the 2,265 civil claimants admitted, as well as to pay for the legal expenses of the lawyers of the civil claimants.

The decision pronounced by the Court of Turin on 11 October 2016 was challenged before the Turin Court of Appeal, which on 12 March 2019 cancelled the decision due to lack of area jurisdiction and ordered the forwarding of proceedings papers to the Court of Milan.

On 12 May 2021, at the request of the Public Prosecutor's office, the Court of Milan ordered the definitive dismissal of the proceedings on all counts and for all defendants.

As reported in the Financial Statements ended 31 December 2018, some investors have autonomously initiated civil proceedings for damages. In these proceedings, the plaintiffs summarily stated that they had purchased and subscribed Fondiaria-SAI shares as they were prompted by the information in the information prospectuses published by Fondiaria-SAI on 24 June 2011 and 12 July 2012 in relation to the increases in share capital under option resolved by the company on 14 May 2011, 22 June 2011 and 19 March 2012 respectively, and in the financial statements of Fondiaria-SAI relating to the years 2007-2012. UnipolSai (former Fondiaria-SAI) appeared at all Civil Proceedings and disputed the plaintiffs' claims.

Two civil proceedings before the Court of Turin ended with rulings that rejected the merits of the Plaintiff's requests, acquitting UnipolSai from all compensation claims. The two rulings have become res judicata since they were not appealed by the counterparties.

On 18 May 2017, the Court of Milan instead partially upheld the compensation claims of another shareholder. The Company appealed against the sentence before the Milan Court of Appeal, which only partially accepted the appeal. The Company therefore appealed against the sentence before the Court of Cassation, which has not yet scheduled the hearing for the discussion of the case. The Court of Rome, with a sentence published on 12 May 2020, vice versa fully rejected the compensation claims submitted by another investor with respect to the share capital increases noted above. The opposing party challenged the sentence before the Rome Court of Appeal, and at the last hearing on 13 December 2021 the Court adjourned for further consideration.

In another case pending on the same issues, the Court of Milan accepted the compensation claims of another investor, with a ruling dated 20 March 2019. After being appealed by the Company, the ruling was overruled in full by the Milan Court of Appeal with a ruling dated 22 October 2020. The opposing party challenged the appeal sentence before the Court of Cassation. The hearing for discussion of the case has not yet been scheduled.

On 15 February 2021, the Court of Milan has partially upheld the compensation claims of other shareholders. The Company appealed against the sentence before the Milan Court of Appeal. The next hearing to finalise conclusions is set for 6 April 2022.

Another two cases pending on the same issues are still in the introductory/preliminary phase before the Court of Milan.

Provisions deemed suitable were made in relation to the disputes with investors described above.

Relations with the Antitrust Authority

On 8 May 2020, the Antitrust Authority notified UnipolSai Assicurazioni of the initiation of preliminary proceedings concerning the "#UnMesePerTe" promotional campaign, involving the dissemination, in print media, on television and in other media, of advertising messages which allegedly lacked the required clarity and transparency.

UnipolSai filed a detailed defence brief, affirming the full legitimacy and fairness of its initiative, as well as its ethical and social merit. Moreover, with a view to further improving transparency towards its customers, the Company enacted a series of behaviours on its own initiative which were then subject to a commitment proposal formalised with the Antitrust Authority on 26 June 2020 and supplemented, based on the Authority's observations, on 6 November 2020. These measures are intended to facilitate knowledge and use of the benefits deriving from this campaign by extending the initiative to 31 December 2021 (but still with reference to policies in force at 10 April 2020) and sending individual communications to potential beneficiaries concerning how to use the voucher offered when the policy is renewed, as well as providing a detailed disclosure on the possibility of revoking consent to the use of personal data for marketing purposes issued to the Company on the "unmeseperte" mini-website from 11 April 2020 to 29 May 2020.

By a measure passed on 26 February 2021, the Antitrust Authority accepted the commitments proposed by the Company and settled the proceedings without confirming any infractions and, therefore, without imposing penalties.

On 26 November 2020, the Antitrust Authority notified UnipolSai Assicurazioni of the initiation of second preliminary proceedings concerning MV TPL claims settlement, characterised by an alleged hindrance of the right of consumers to access the relevant deeds and the failure to specify the criteria for the quantification of damages in the phase of formulating the compensation offer. On 16 April 2021, the Antitrust Authority then notified the objective extension of these proceedings, claiming failure to comply with the terms of Art. 148 of the CAP for the settlement/challenge of MV TPL claims.

UnipolSai deems these objections completely unfounded and, to protect its rights, has engaged its lawyers to represent it in the proceedings, which are currently ongoing.

  • sureties against insurance contracts issued for €42,967k.

The change in the item guarantees given by third parties in the interest of the company was caused by the cancellation of guarantees of €561,689k given by the holding company Unipol Gruppo in favour of the bondholders of the subordinated loans that Unipol Assicurazioni took over as issuer in 2009 following the early repayment by UnipolSai of such loans during the year 2021.

Information on financial derivatives

In compliance with the instructions issued by IVASS (Regulation no. 24 of 6 June 2016) and consistent with the guidelines established by the Company's Board of Directors, the use of derivatives during the year was aimed solely at hedging the risk of security position and the exchange rate or portfolio management optimisation risk, ruling out merely speculative aims.

These aims were achieved through the specific derivatives listed in the Board of Directors resolution and involved securities held in portfolio at the time of conclusion of the related contract and for its entire duration. All the transactions were initiated with banking counterparties or similar or proven reliability.

For the determination of the fair value of OTC type derivatives, UnipolSai uses valuation methods (Mark to Model) in line with the methods commonly used by the market and based on data directly available on the market.

For derivatives on which a CSA (Credit Support Annex) collateralisation agreement is provided between the company and the authorised market counterparties, provision is made for use of the EONIA discount curve (Euro OverNight Index Average) or the ESTR (Euro Short Term Rate) curve. As regards uncollateralised derivatives, CVA (Credit Valuation Adjustment) and DVA (Debit Valuation Adjustment) adjustments are made. It should be noted that, at 31 December 2021, all derivative positions represented collateralised contracts for which CSA agreements are in place with the counterparties involved in the trading.

The objective of the models used to calculate the fair value is to obtain a value for the financial instrument consistent with the assumptions that market participants would use to quote a price, assumptions that also concern the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique and/or in the inputs used.

For the proper Mark to Model valuation of each category of instrument, adequate and consistent pricing models must be defined beforehand as well as the market parameters.

The list of the main models used for Mark to Model pricing of OTC derivatives is provided below:

  • Securities and interest rate derivatives:

    • Discounted cash flows;
  • Black;

  • Black-Derman-Toy;
  • Hull & White 1, 2 factors;
  • Libor Market Model;
  • Longstaff & Schwartz;
  • Kirk.
  • Securities and inflation derivatives:
    • Discounted cash flows;
    • Jarrow-Yildirim.
  • Securities and share, index and exchange rate derivatives: - Discounted cash flows; - Black-Scholes.
  • Securities and credit derivatives
    • Discounted cash flows;
      • Hazard rate models.

The main observable market parameters used to perform Mark to Model valuations are as follows:

  • interest rate curves for reference currency;

  • interest rate volatility surface for reference currency;

  • CDS spread or Asset Swap spread curves of the issuer;
  • inflation curves for reference currency;
  • reference exchange rates;
  • exchange rate volatility surface;
  • share or index volatility surface;
  • share reference prices;
  • reference inflation curves.
  • The main non-observable market parameters used to perform Mark to Model valuations are as follows:
  • correlation matrices between risk factors;
  • historical volatility;

  • credit risk parameters such as the recovery rate if not available in the CDS quotation.

The derivatives for which there may be no consistent and validated valuation models available for the purposes of measuring fair value, are valued on the basis of the prices provided by the counterparty. It should be noted that, at 31 December 2021, all derivative positions represent contracts for which the measurement is of the internal Mark to Model type and the market parameters used for the measurement are exclusively of the observable type.

In the termsheets of the derivatives existing at 31 December 2021 there are no specific significant terms and conditions that may influence the amounts, the maturities and the certainty of the future flows differently from the contractual provisions.

Section 18 - Information on Non-Life business technical account (I)

The gross premiums at 31 December 2021 amounted to €7,004,738k, decreasing by €26,842k (-0.4%) compared to 31 December 2020.

Net of reinsurance, the premiums earned amounted to €6,743,742k (€6,637,569k at 31/12/2020). The premiums are broken down by business segment in the Management Report.

The summarised information on Non-Life business technical account - Italian business and foreign business - is reported in Annex 19.

Other technical income, net of reinsurance (item I.3), equalled €34,702k at 31 December 2021 (€41,656k at 31/12/2020) and included €8,548k regarding the Land Vehicle TPL class, consisting of recovered expenses for managing claims on behalf of companies, €1,056k of recovered commissions and €12,014k for the reversal of commissions on premiums of previous years cancelled. Indirect business included €3,690k as reinstated premiums envisaged contractually by reinsurance treaties and estimated on the basis of the claims provisions at year end.

The charge of the claims for the Non-Life business (item I.4) amounted to €4,365,220k, (€3,747,221k at 31/12/2020) and included, in addition to the change in the claims provision, the amounts paid in the year for direct and indirect business as compensation and settlement expenses, net of the relevant recoveries and the reinsurers' shares, as established by Art. 48 of Italian Legislative Decree 173 of 26 May 1997. The provision on the claims of previous generations amounted to €6,999,188k at the end of the period.

The changes, referred to Italian direct business, are summarised in the table below:

Amounts in €k 2021
Opening claims provision 9,557,944
Payments in the year for prior year claims 2,367,548
Closing claims provision 6,999,188
Breakdown of claims provision 191,208
% impact on opening provision 2.00%

When considering the amounts to be recovered and the recoveries made, the positive run-off was as follows:

Amounts in €k 2021
Amounts to be collected at the end of the previous year 130,010
Amounts collected in the year 109,365
Amounts to be collected at the end of the year 104,301
Changes in the amounts to be collected 83,656
Total effect 274,865

The run-off of provisions for claims of previous years was positive on nearly all classes. The savings achieved on claims closed compared to the initial claims provision were high and, in particular for the Third Party Liability classes (MV TPL and General TPL), they were mostly used to revalue the cases still in the provisions.

As shown in the table, the positive overall result of the run-off of claims provisions also benefited from a significant positive differential relating to the recoveries (€83,656k).

The amount of the reversals and profit sharing (item I.6) recognised to the policyholders or other beneficiaries had a net balance of €3,775k (€2,857k at 31/12/2020) and referred almost entirely to technical profit sharing.

Operating expenses amounted to €1,979,457k, already net of the commissions received from reinsurers (€82,283k), and included acquisition and collection expenses for €1,707,583k (down by 1.3% compared to the 2020 figure) and other administrative expenses for €351,878k (+6.2% compared to the 2020 figure).

The balance of item I.7.f "commissions and profit sharing from reinsurers", equal to €82,283k (−0.4% compared to the 2020 figure), referred to commissions for €82,184k and to profit sharing for €98k.

  • €141,340k relating to direct business,
  • €293k relating to indirect business and,
  • €2,354k relating to premiums ceded.

In direct business, the most important items regard cancellations of premiums of previous years for €84,729k, "black box" costs for €44,518k and the management rights of the CARD room for €7,316k.

Premiums ceded mostly included the estimate of reinstated premiums envisaged contractually by reinsurance treaties and estimated as €1,604k on the basis of the claims provisions at 31 December 2021.

Item I.9 "change in equalisation provisions", which was negativa for €5,730k, is due to the lower provisions in the year compared to the previous year. The detail of these provisions, by class, is reported in section no. 10 (Technical provisions). The change in indirect business equalled €25k of costs.

Transfer of shares of the profit from investments from the non-technical account and indication of the base applied for the calculation - Item I.2

The profit from investments assumed to determine the share to be transferred to the Non-Life business technical account derives from the sum of the amounts, posted in the non-technical account, of the gains on investments and the relevant asset and financial charges.

The share to be assigned to the technical account, pursuant to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 as amended, is obtained by applying to the aforementioned gains on investments the ratio between the semisum of the technical provisions net of the reinsurance at the end of the current year and at the end of the previous one and the same semisum increased by the value of the semisum of the shareholders' equity also resulting at the end of the current year and at the end of the previous one.

The breakdown in the individual portfolios and classes of the share of the profit assigned to the technical account was also made on the basis of the provisions of the aforementioned ISVAP Regulation.

At 31 December 2021 profits from investments were transferred from the non-technical account to the technical account for €309,849k (€156,260k the 2020 figure).

The change in provision for amounts payable, net of the reinsurers' share, equalled -€229,192k (€159,330k the 2020 figure). The change is basically due to volumes expiring at the end of 2020 and paid in the early months of 2021, also linked to contracts issued at the end of 2000, the last year with the benefit of tax deductibility on all life policies.

The change in technical provisions, net of reinsurance (item II.6), amounted to €868,163k (-€21,854k the 2020 figure).

Detailed in Annex 24 are the asset and financial charges and the unrealised losses relating to investments benefiting policyholders that bear the risk and investments arising from pension fund management (item II.10), equal to €154,852k (€119,738k the 2020 figure).

Other technical charges, net of reinsurance (item II.11), equal to €47,722k (-8.3% compared to the 2020 figure), mainly comprised:

• management fees for €36,890k;

  • cancelled premiums of previous years for €7,784k;
  • commissions on investments related to Unit-Linked Policies and pension funds for €1,389k.

Transfer of shares of the profit from investments to the non-technical account and indication of the base applied for the calculation - Item II.12

The profit from investments assumed to determine the share to be transferred to the non-technical account derives from the sum of the amounts, posted in the technical account, the gains on investments and the relevant asset and financial charges. Excluded for the purposes above are unrealised gains as well as unrealised asset and financial charges relating to investments benefiting policyholders that bear the risk and investments arising from pension fund management, which remain as entirely attributed to the technical account.

The share to be assigned to the non-technical account, pursuant to ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008, as amended, is obtained by applying to the aforementioned profit from investments the ratio resulting between:

  • the semisum of the shareholders' equity resulting at the end of the current year and at the end of the previous one;
  • this amount, increased by the semisum of the technical provisions (net of reinsurance) also resulting at the end of the year and at the end of the previous one.

However, if the profit from investments that remains assigned to the Life business technical account is lower than the amount of the profits from investments contractually recognised to the policyholders in the year, the portion to transfer to the non-technical account must be adequately reduced by an amount equal to this lower value, until it is entirely cancelled.

The breakdown of the individual portfolios and classes of the portion of the profit from investments regarding the technical account was based on their actual origin until reaching the portion of the income equal to the profits from investments contractually recognised to the policyholders; the propositional method envisaged by the aforementioned ISVAP Regulation was applied to the remaining difference.

Based on the results of the calculation made according to these criteria, €94,632k (€83,814k the 2020 figure) were transferred from the Life technical account to the non-technical account of profits from investments.

Section 20 - Development of the technical items for the class

20.1 Non-Life insurance

The summary of technical accounts by individual class (Italian portfolio) is shown in Annex 25. The accounting entries pertaining to the technical accounts are posted in the accounts mainly broken down by class. The accounting entries that are common to more classes pertain to the overheads.

To attribute the overheads to the individual classes, direct attributions were partly made. Differentiated allocation parameters were also partly applied, based on the nature of the expense to break down. The main parameters used were determined on the basis of the premiums, the number of policies and the compensations paid. On this point reference is made to section A - Measurement criteria.

The summary of the technical account summarising all Non-Life classes (Italian portfolio) is shown in Annex 26.

20.2 Life insurance

The summary of technical accounts by individual class (Italian portfolio) is shown in Annex 27. The accounting entries pertaining to the technical accounts are posted in the accounts mostly broken down by class.

As regards the latter, net of any portion transferred to the non-technical account, this was allocated to the classes proportionally to the technical provisions according to the already mentioned ISVAP Regulation no. 22 of 4 April 2008 as amended or integrated.

Overheads were assigned to the individual classes through various parameters, such as payments, parties insured and commissions paid.

On this point reference is made to section A - Measurement criteria.

Only the transactions on derivative contracts in place at the time of preparation of the financial statements that imply commitments for the company must be entered.

If the contract does not exactly match the figures described or if the typical elements of more than one case merge, this contract must be included in the most similar contractual category. Netting is not allowed, unless this refers to purchase/sale transactions referred to the same contract type (same content, maturity, underlying assets, etc.)

The contracts that require the swap of two currencies must be posted once, conventionally referring to the currency to be purchased. The contracts that require the swap of both interest rates and currencies must be posted only under the contracts on currencies.

The derivative contracts that require the swap of interest rates are conventionally classified as "purchases" or "sales" depending on whether they imply the purchase or sale of the fixed rate for the insurance company.

(1) For the derivative contracts that imply or may imply forward equity swaps, their settlement price must be stated; in all the other cases, the nominal value of the reference capital must be specified

(2) Enter the fair value of the derivative contracts

  1. Board of Statutory

Auditors' Report

Report of the Board of Statutory Auditors to the Shareholders' Meeting of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A., prepared pursuant to Art. 153 of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998

Dear Shareholders,

in the year ending on 31 December 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors carried out the activities within its competence, also acting as Internal Control and Audit Committee, pursuant to the applicable legal and regulatory provisions, taking into account the Rules of Conduct of the Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti e degli Esperti Contabili (National Institute of Chartered Accountants), the communications issued by CONSOB at this regard (in particular, communication no.2 DEM/1025564 of 6 April 2001 as amended), as well as the instructions laid out in the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies("Corporate Governance Code").

In compliance with Art. 153 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 ("Consolidated Law on Finance" or "TUF"), the Board of Statutory Auditors therefore reports on its supervisory activity.

Please note that the current Board of Statutory Auditors was appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2021, which renewed its composition, however retaining within it an element of continuity with the previous Control Board.

1. Activities of the Board of Statutory Auditors in the financial year ending 31 December 2021

In 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors exercised its supervision, holding a total of 20 meetings, including those held by the previous Control Board, with an average length of approximately one hour and 40 minutes.

The Board of Statutory Auditors also took part in:

  • eight Meetings of the Board of Directors;
  • ten meetings of the Control and Risk Committee;
  • six meetings of the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties ("Related Party Transactions Committee");
  • four meetings of the Remuneration Committee,

and was informed in relation to the work carried out by the Appointment and Corporate Governance Committee in five meetings held during the year which the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors was invited to attend starting from the second half of 2021.

As part of its activities aimed at the mutual exchange of information between the bodies and functions involved in the internal control and risks management system, the Board of Statutory Auditors also met with:

  • the Chief Risk Officer and the Heads of Audit, of the Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering Function (jointly, "Control Functions"), and the Head of the Actuarial Function (jointly with the Control Functions, "Key Functions"), the Manager in charge of financial reporting ("Financial Reporting Officer"), as well as the Heads and/or representatives of the company departments each time involved by the supervisory activities of the Control Board;
  • the Supervisory Board established pursuant to Legislative Decree 231, 8 June 2001 ("Legislative Decree no. 231/2001"), Art. 6, Par. 1, letter b);
  • the representatives of the independent auditors, EY S.p.A. (hereinafter also "EY" or "Independent Auditors"), within the framework of relationships between control board and independent auditors required by laws and regulations in force.

Pursuant to Art. 151 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Control Board has also had meetings and/or exchanged information with the Boards of Statutory Auditors of the subsidiaries.

In particular, please refer to Regulation no. 38 issued by IVASS on 3 July 2018.

2. Most significant economic, financial and equity transactions. Other noteworthy events

2.1 Activity performed by the Board of Statutory Auditors

Pursuant to the reference laws and regulations in force, the Board of Statutory Auditors describes below the outcomes of its control and audit activity. It therefore acknowledges that it has:

  • monitored compliance with laws and by-laws and compliance with the rules of proper administration, particularly in regard to the most significant economic, financial and equity transactions mentioned here;
  • obtained information from the Directors also by attending the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board Committees - on the activity carried out and on the most significant economic, financial and equity transactions performed by UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. ("UnipolSai" or "Company"), also those carried out through direct or indirect subsidiaries. Based on the information made available, the Board of Statutory Auditors reasonably believe that the activities and transactions approved and carried out comply with laws, by-laws and rules of proper administration and do not appear to be manifestly imprudent or risky, or in contrast with the resolutions adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting, or able to jeopardise the integrity of the company assets. In addition, transactions involving a potential conflict of interests were approved in compliance with laws, regulations and codes of conduct adopted.

The Board of Statutory Auditors also notes that it has received adequate information with regard to the effects deriving:

  • from the health emergency due to the COVID-19 respiratory syndrome ("COVID-19") on the business outlook as well as on the actions and initiatives undertaken to deal with it, taken by the Company and by the Unipol Group with respect to employees and the distribution network, as well as with respect to their customers, as reported in detail in the Management Report. In this regard, it should be noted that the Control Board was constantly informed of the analyses carried out, particularly with regard to the identification of any impact, due to risks and uncertainties linked to COVID-19, on business continuity, strategic planning and plan targets;
  • from the Russia-Ukraine conflict currently in progress and the consequent economic and financial sanctions imposed on Russia by the international community. With regard to this, the Control Board has verified that the Company does not carry out relevant economic activities in the area concerned by the conflict; does not hold, except to an extremely marginal extent, financial investments in securities of Russian or Ukrainian issuers, and is not a contractual party to any relevant financial transactions with subjects or entities subject to international sanctions. However, as indicated in the Management Report, the situation of uncertainty and fears regarding the potential impacts that may derive from the war are creating financial market tensions, with plummeting international share prices and upward trends in interest rates, with consequent reflections on the Company's financial investments. The development of this context and the relative impacts on the company's outlook are continuously monitored by the relevant company's functions. Considering the uncertainty of this situation, the Board of Statutory Auditors in turns monitors, to the extent of its competence, also in compliance with the attention notice issued by CONSOB on 18 March 2022, the possible effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the consequent restrictive measures adopted by the European Union on the financial situation, also from a prospective point of view, and on the economic results of the Company, checking if the future development of the same might involve significant impacts on the business performance. The Control Board has also checked that the Company has arranged suitable and efficient organisational and technical procedures aimed at the mitigation of the risks linked to cyber-security aspects.

2.2 Main significant events

In regard to the main events and the most significant economic, financial and equity transactions carried out by the Company in 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors reports as follows:

Early repayment of the subordinated loans maturing in 2021 and 2023. On 15 March and 28 April 2021, subject to the authorisation of the Supervisory Authority to exercise the right to early repayment, the two subordinated loans were extinguished in full, of which one was for a nominal value of €300m, with contractual maturity scheduled for June 2021, and the other for a residual nominal amount of €262m, whose contractual maturity was scheduled for in July 2023. At the time of the repayment by UnipolSai, Unipol Group S.p.A. ("Unipol") extinguished, for a residual nominal value equal to €268m, the loans outstanding with the same Company, previously granted when UnipolSai had taken over the role of issuer of the loan.

Exercise of the tax realignment option (Decree Law no. 104/2020). UnipolSai has taken advantage of the option set forth in Article 110, paragraph 8-bis of Decree Law 104/2020, which makes it possible to realign the values recognised for tax purposes of goodwill and other assets already recognised in the financial statements at 31 December 2019, to the values of such assets as set forth in the financial statements at 31 December 2020, against payment of a substitute tax of 3% of the higher value recognised for tax purposes. The realignment concerned goodwill for a value of €318m and real estate for a value of €24.8m, resulting in a substitute tax expense of €10.3m, to be Milanpaid in three annual instalments, the first of which was paid during the year 2021. Following the amendments introduced by the 2022 Budget Law - Law no. 234 of 30 December 2021, the amortisation period for tax purposes of the higher values of goodwill subject to the realignment was increased from 18 years to 50 years. Due to the effect of the higher taxable values recognised, UnipolSai has achieved a benefit in terms of lower future IRES and IRAP taxes quantified at €104.6m and recognised in the income statement as an increase in net deferred taxes, of which €98m with reference to goodwill, which will translate into a reduction in current taxes from the year 2021, according to an amortisation plan allowed by the tax regulations (50 years) for goodwill that has become deductible, and €6.6m with reference to property, entirely recognised in the income statement for the year 2021 due to the effect of reabsorption of deferred taxes already recognised in the financial statements. The realignment of tax values entails the requirement of restricting a reserve subject to suspended taxation for €332.5m, in an amount corresponding to the higher values recognised for tax purposes net of the substitute tax due.

Acquisition of Shares of Banca Popolare di Sondrio S.p.A. In the course of 2021, in part through a reverse accelerated book-building (RABB) procedure and in part on the market, UnipolSai acquired 40,289,500 ordinary shares of Banca Popolare di Sondrio S.p.A. ("BPS" or the "Bank") equal to 8.89% of the share capital of the Bank. Taking into account the shares previously held in portfolio, therefore, UnipolSai holds a total shareholding of 43,126,000 shares, equal to approximately 9.51% of the share capital of BPS. The transaction falls within the scope of UnipolSai's strategy to contribute to the development plans of the Bank, a business partner of the Group within the Non-Life and Life bancassurance segment.

Completion of the sale of Torre Velasca. In February 2021, the sale of the property in Piazza Velasca, Milan (Torre Velasca), was finalised following the Public Administration's failure to exercise pre-emption rights. The sale price was €160m, resulting in a capital gain of roughly €80.1m.

Capital account payment to Gruppo UNA S.p.A. On 4 June 2021, UnipolSai made a capital account payment of €40m in favour of the subsidiary Gruppo UNA S.p.A. in order to replenish its shareholders' equity, which had reduced due to losses during the COVID-19 health emergency.

More information on these transactions and additional events is provided in the Management Report and the Notes to the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2021.

2.3 Significant events after the end of the financial year

In regard to the significant events occurred after the end of the financial year, the Board of Statutory Auditors believes the following should be mentioned:

Russia-Ukraine conflict currently in progress. In the initial months of 2022, the worsening of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine became apparent, which had transformed into a large-scale war. The effects of the conflict and the ensuing economic and financial sanctions imposed on Russia by the international community are affecting the global economy. Some of the main impacts are expected to be difficulties in the procurement of raw materials, with additional increases in the relative prices, and the risk of an already stressed supply chain becoming even more compromised. These situations of uncertainty and fears of the potential impacts are creating financial market tensions, with plummeting international share prices and upward trends in interest rates. All this reflects on the Company's financial investments, which have marked a reduction in their implicit capital gains, and on financial management, which in any event continues to be aimed at the consistency of assets and liabilities and optimising the risk/return profile of the portfolio, also with regard to the maintenance of an adequate level of solvency. The uncertainty of the current context and, especially, its future evolution, does not make it possible to fully determine its effects on the financial situation and economic results of the Company. As highlighted above, however, UnipolSai does not carry out relevant economic activities in the area concerned by the conflict, does not hold, except to an extremely marginal extent, financial investments in securities of Russian or Ukrainian issuers and is not a contractual party to any relevant financial transactions with subjects or entities subject to the international sanctions.

Termination of the agreement with Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. 10 February 2022 saw the conclusion of the jointly-agreed termination of the agreement signed on 17 February 2020 between UnipolSai and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. in the broader context of Intesa's launch of a public exchange offer on 100% of UBI Banca S.p.A. ("UBI Banca") shares and the related acquisition of business units referring to one or more insurance company investees of UBI Banca. This termination was the result of the assessment, agreed between the parties, of the transaction no longer being convenient and of mutual interest, taking into account the implementation costs and complexities.

Early repayment of loan disbursed by UnipolSai to Unipol maturing in 2024. On 1 March 2022, exercising the option of early reimbursement contractually provided, Unipol fully repaid the loan of €300m disbursed by UnipolSai on 1 March 2019, in the context of the exercise of the sale option relative to 27.49% of the share capital of Unipol Banca S.p.A. and UnipolReC S.p.A., due to it with respect to Unipol itself due to the option contract subscribed on 31 December 2013 between the then Fondiaria-Sai and Unipol.

2.4 Dispute proceedings

In regard to disputes involving the Company in 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors was informed and kept up to date in regard to the ongoing sanction and legal proceedings, described in the Notes to the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2021, to which reference is made.

2.5 Related-party and inter-company transactions. Atypical and/or unusual transactions

In compliance with the provisions of the Regulations indicating provisions with regard to transactions with related parties adopted by CONSOB with resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010 as subsequently amended ("Consob Regulation"), the Company set out a Procedure for transactions with related parties ("OPC Procedure"), lastly updated on 24 June 2021 with effect from 1 July 2021, and Operational Guidelines for the application of the same. The Board of Statutory Auditors has acknowledged the amendments made to the OPC Procedure in order to adapt its content to the provisions introduced by CONSOB Regulation by Resolution no. 21624, 10 December 2020, implementing Directive (EU) 2017/828 ("Shareholder Rights Directive II"), checking the compliance of the same with the new provisions.

The Board of Statutory Auditors also monitored the transactions with related parties to ensure they met the criteria of substantive and procedural correctness, pursuant to the aforementioned reference provisions and the internal procedure adopted, and that they were not in contrast with the Company's interest, in particular considering the settlement agreement relating to the social responsibility actions previously deliberated with respect to some former directors and auditors, approved by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of UnipolSai held on 28 April 2021, verifying the procedure adopted for investigation and judgement purposes, as well as its compliance with the laws and regulations in force as well as internal regulations, by reviewing the available documentation and attending the meetings of the Related Parties Committee and the Board of Directors.

The Board of Statutory Auditors also reviewed the transactions exempt from the application of the aforementioned internal procedure, verifying the correctness of the valuations made at this regard.

In regard to the provisions issued by IVASS with Regulation no. 30 of 26 October 2016 regarding inter-company transactions and risk concentrations, the Board verified that the Policy adopted by the Company on the matter ("Intercompany Policy") complies with these provisions, also taking into account its annual update and the Operating Guide for the application of the aforementioned Policy. The supervisory activity performed by the Control Board has also shown that the transactions with counterparties within the Group were carried out in compliance with the Policy on inter-company transactions and settled at market conditions.

With regard to the overall context of inter-company transactions and/or transactions with related parties put in place during the 2021 financial year, please note that the Board of Statutory Auditors believes that the outsourcing agreements in place between UnipolSai and the Parent Company Unipol, as well as with other Group companies, comply with the applicable sector regulations.

In regard to the relations between UnipolSai and other Group companies, as well as other related parties, the Control Board believes the disclosure provided in the Management Report and in the Notes to the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2021 to be adequate.

Lastly, it was verified that no atypical or unusual inter-company transactions and/or transactions with related parties were identified that might cast doubt on the accuracy and completeness of the information, the absence of conflicts of interest and the safeguard of corporate assets.

3. Organisational structure of the Company

The Board of Statutory Auditors has acknowledged that:

  • UnipolSai is subject to management and coordination by the parent company Unipol, pursuant to Arts. 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code;
  • pursuant to sector regulations, in compliance with IVASS Regulation no. 38, 3 July 2018, and taking into account the qualitative and quantitative parameters indicated in the Letter to the market issued by IVASS on 5 July 2018, the Company has adopted the "enhanced" corporate governance model;
  • in compliance with the provisions set forth in the Corporate Governance Code, UnipolSai is qualified as a "large company", as its capitalisation exceeded Euro 1 billion on the last trading day of each of the last three calendar years, with "concentrated ownership", as Unipol holds the majority of the votes that may be exercised in the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

Also noting that, as reported in the 2021 Annual report on corporate governance and ownership structures ("Governance Report"):

  • UnipolSai has chosen to adopt a "traditional" management and control system, which provides for the presence of a Board of Directors (which works with the support of board Committees with proposal, advisory, investigation and support functions) and with a Board of Statutory Auditors (with control functions), both appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • the independent audit of financial statements for the 2021-2029 nine-year period was assigned to EY by the Shareholders' Meeting of 17 April 2019;
  • some internal company committees were created by the Board of Directors or the General Manager, mainly consisting of the Top Management of UnipolSai, to provide support to the General Manager in the implementation and supervision of the policies of direction, coordination and operational strategy specified by the Board of Directors and implemented by the same Top Management;
  • the role and powers of these bodies are discussed in detail in the Governance Report,

the Board of Statutory Auditors acknowledged the organisational structure adopted and was informed of the changes that occurred from time to time in the internal structure of UnipolSai and its subsidiaries, monitoring its suitability, for matters within its competence.

In particular, based on the information acquired, the Board believes the size, structure and positioning of the Company's Key Functions to be appropriate to guarantee the effective operation of the internal control and risk management system as a whole.

The Board of Statutory Auditors also acknowledged the provisions issued by the Company to its subsidiaries, pursuant to Art. 114, Par. 2 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, to ensure the prompt delivery of the information needed to fulfil the communication obligations laid out by the law and by Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and Council of 16 April 2014, also through meetings with the heads of the relevant company functions and the independent auditors. No particular issues worth reporting were brought to light by these activities.

The Control Board exchanged information with the Boards of Statutory Auditors of the subsidiaries, also through specific meetings, pursuant to Art. 151 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, being informed about the checks that were carried out by the same while exercising their supervisory activities. In this regard, no issues worth reporting were brought to light. The Control Board has in turn made a similar report to the Board of Statutory Auditors of the parent company Unipol.

4. Internal control and risk management system, administrative/accounting system and financial disclosure process

4.1 Internal control and risk management system

The internal control and risk management system is a key element in the overall system of governance. It consists of a set of rules, procedures and organisational structures for the purpose of actual, effective identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks, in order to contribute to the sustainable success of the companies. In particular, this system aims at ensuring:

  • the effectiveness and efficiency of corporate processes;
  • the identification, assessment, including forward-looking, management and adequate control of risks, in line with the strategic policies and risk appetite of the company, including from a medium/long-term perspective;
  • the prevention of the risk that the Company be involved, even unintentionally, in illegal activities, in particular those related to money laundering, usury and terrorist financing;
  • the prevention and correct management of the potential conflicts of interest with related parties and/or intra-group counterparties, as identified by the reference legal and regulatory provisions;
  • the verification that corporate strategies and policies are implemented;
  • safeguarding of company asset values, also in the medium to long term, and proper management of assets held on behalf of customers;
  • reliability and integrity of information provided to corporate bodies and the market, with particular reference to accounting and operational information, and of IT procedures;
  • adequacy and promptness of the corporate data reporting system;
  • compliance of the Company's business activities and transactions executed on behalf of customers with the law, supervisory regulations, corporate governance regulations and the internal measures adopted.

The guidelines of the internal control and risk management system are laid out in the Group Directives on the corporate governance system ("Directives"), approved by UnipolSai's Board of Directors, most recently updated on 16 December 2021, which govern, among other things, the role and responsibilities of the parties involved in this system. The Guidelines are completed by the Key Function Policies. The coordination procedures and information flows between the parties involved in the internal control and risk management system are described in the aforementioned Key Function Policies, as well as in the Regulations of the board committees. The Company has also set internal regulations laying out policies and guidelines as well as specific operating procedures.

The risk management system provides appropriate understanding of the nature and significance of risks to which the Group and the individual companies, including UnipolSai, are exposed and is an integral part of business management.

The identification, evaluation and monitoring of the risks are carried out on ongoing basis to take into account the changes occurred both in the nature and size of the business and in the market context, and whether new risks arise or the existing ones change and are processes carried out according to procedures that guarantee an integrated approach at Group level.

The Parent Company Unipol ensures that the risk management policy is implemented consistently and continuously within the entire Group, taking into account the risks of each company in the scope of group supervision and their mutual interdependencies, with reference to the provisions laid out in Art. 210 and 210-ter, paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Private Insurance Code ("PIC"). The principle of proportionality continues to apply, based on the nature, extent and complexity of the risks inherent in company activities carried out by the various Group companies.

For more details on the main characteristics of the internal control and risk management system adopted by the Company, please refer to the Governance Report.

In this context, the Board of Statutory Auditors constantly monitored the suitability of the internal control and risk management system and the administrative/accounting system, and the latter's ability to correctly represent operating events. To do so, it has relied on (i) the information collected from the heads of the respective functions, (ii) the review of company documents, (iii) the analysis of the audit plans and the results of the audits carried out by the independent auditing firm and the internal control bodies and functions.

In addition, the activities performed by these company functions were reviewed to achieve an assessment of the suitability and the effective operation of the overall internal control and risk management system. This was done by directly reviewing the activities carried out by the Key Functions and the Financial Reporting Officer and by taking part in the meetings of the Control and Risk Committee. Based on the audits carried out to fulfil its supervisory obligations, the Control Board did not identify issues worth reporting in this regard. The Board also believes that the Key Functions and the Financial Reporting Officer are able to ensure a suitable control of the internal control and risk management system.

As part of its supervision of the internal control and risk management system, the Board of Statutory Auditors has, among other things, paid specific attention to Information Technology aspects, with special reference to the issues concerning cyber-security, reviewing the related risk aspects through meetings with the Chief Information Officer, carried out at the time of the regular meetings of the Control and Risk Committee.Based on the outcomes of the above mentioned analyses, the Board of Statutory Auditors considers the risk related to all aspects of cyber-security to be adequately monitored.

The Board of Statutory Auditors also verified the activities carried out by the Company in the process of compliance with Regulation (EU) no. 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 regarding personal data protection by evaluating the compliance of the organisational controls introduced with the regulation governing personal data protection.

4.2 Administrative/accounting system and financial disclosure process

The Governance Report describes the main characteristics of the control model adopted to support the Financial Reporting Officer in the assessment of the suitability and effective application of the administrative procedures relating to accounting and financial reporting, based on a process inspired by the CoSo Framework, recognised as the reference standard for the implementation and assessment of internal control systems.

The risk management and internal control process in the context of financial disclosures implemented by Unipol, defined on the basis of specific guidelines identified in compliance to the above mentioned standard, is articulated over several phases, whose details are reported in the Report on the internal control system relative to accounting and financial disclosures in compliance to the "savings law" (the "262 Report"). This Report reflects the characteristics of the control system implemented and the results of the data verification and monitoring activity carried out by the relevant corporate units, on the result of which the Chairman of the Board of Directors, with the powers conferred for the purpose, and the Financial Reporting Officer signed the statements required by Art. 154-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance.

The Board of Statutory Auditors reviewed the contents of 262 Report and monitored, through meetings with the Financial Reporting Officer and the independent auditors, the process of preparation and dissemination of financial information. In particular, no significant shortcomings relating to the internal control system for financial and/or accounting disclosures were highlighted by the Supplementary Report ("Supplementary Report") prepared by EY pursuant to Art. 11 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and Council ("Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014").

The Board also monitored, for matters within its competence, compliance with legal provisions concerning the drafting of the Financial Statements and the contents of the Management Report, which are believed to be exhaustive. Taking into account that - pursuant to Art. 14 of Legislative Decree no. 39, 27 January 2010, as amended by Legislative Decree no. 135, 17 July 2016 ("Legislative Decree 39/2010") the Independent Auditors state in their report, among other things, that the Management Report is consistent with the Financial Statements and complies with legal provisions, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified that the report issued by EY has not brought to light findings in this respect.

It is observed that, in the implementation of the "Transparency Directive"3 , which requires issuers whose real estate assets are quoted in regulated markets of the European Union to prepare their financial annual report in a single electronic communication format, the technical procedures for the fulfilment of this obligation are governed by delegated Regulation of the European Commission no. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (the "ESEF Regulation"). In compliance with this latter Regulation, the Separate Financial Statements and the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2021 of UnipolSai are prepared and published in the XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) format, also marking some of the economic information in the Consolidated Financial Statements with XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) language specifications with the objective of further increasing the accessibility, analysis and comparability of the data contained therein.

The Independent Auditors have expressed in their Report an opinion of compliance of the Separate Financial Statements and the Consolidated Financial Statements to the ESEF Regulation.

In turn, the Board of Statutory Auditors has verified the fulfilment of the above mentioned obligations in the context of the tasks of their pertinence with regard to compliance with the applicable pro-tempore laws.

4.3 Disclosure of non-financial information

With respect to the obligations laid out by Italian Legislative Decree no. 254, 30 December 2016, on the disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by some large-scale companies and groups, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified that UnipolSai is not subject to this obligation as it falls into one of the cases of exemption and equivalence laid out in Art. 6, Par. 2, being a subsidiary company included within the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement prepared by the Parent Company, Unipol.

5. Other activities carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors

Taking into account the fact that the Company complies with the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors has assessed, within the area of its competence, the content of the Report on corporate governance and has no remarks to make in this regard. Referencing the provisions of Art. 123-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance on the consistency opinion that the independent auditors must provide on some information included in the aforementioned Report on corporate governance, the Control Board verified that the Independent Auditors' Report accompanying the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2021 ("Independent Auditors' Report") issued by EY contained no findings in this regard.
