Dear Shareholders,
In the first nine months of 2016, UNIQA generated earnings before taxes of €172 million. This result includes extraordinary pre-tax income from the sale of the non-controlling interests in Niederösterreichische Versicherung AG amounting to €37 million, investments amounting to approximately €30 million, and an above-average claim load from major claims exceeding the comparative value in 2015 by around €30 million.
The third quarter of 2016 was characterised by an above-average number of major claims in Austria and on the international markets, causing the combined ratio in property and casualty insurance to increase in the first nine months of 2016 from 98.0 per cent to 98.2 per cent. We are not satisfied with this figure, which is clearly above our expectations. We will accordingly press forward unabated with our efforts to achieve further sustainable improvements in this area. The continuation of the positive trend we have seen in recent years of a steady decline in the combined ratio is a priority for us.
We increased recurring premiums by 1.9 per cent in the first three quarters of 2016. However, premiums written including savings portions fell by 2.3 per cent overall, driven by the decline in the single premium business in life insurance. Moderate growth in property and casualty insurance (+2.4 per cent) and very solid growth in health insurance (+4.0 per cent) were unable to compensate fully for the 9.2 per cent decline in life insurance.
Other operating expenses (administrative costs) rose by 7.8 per cent in the first nine months as a result of initial investments in the new IT core system. However, this includes investments amounting to around €30 million, i.e. costs would have fallen if these investments were not included.
In an environment characterised by negative interest rates and rapid changes in customer expectations, we will continue forcefully pursuing our strategy and, building on our strong capital position, concentrating more than ever on our core business. This means that we are moving away from activities that do not contribute directly to the success of the primary insurance business in Austria and the international markets. Our outlook for the entire year 2016 remains unchanged.
Sincerely,
Andreas Brandstetter CEO UNIQA Group
Vienna, November 2016
Analysts' fears of a short-term negative impact on the economy and financial markets since the UK's decision to leave the European Union (EU) in June 2016 have not been realised. The UK economy has not suffered a direct slump as originally feared, and a recession is no longer expected for the entire year of 2017. The economic impact appears to be very difficult to assess considering the rare nature of an event of this type, and any negative effects may also only occur following a longer time lag. The situation is a similar one in terms of the results of the presidential election in the USA. Although both the implementation and the impact are highly uncertain as of today, the economic programme includes a major fiscal stimulus for the US economy, triggering a positive response on the financial markets in early November.
The eurozone economy is continuing to demonstrate relative resistance to the headwind from the UK, the relatively modest global economic growth, and the many local internal and geopolitical trouble spots. These include for instance the lengthy efforts to form a government in Spain and the upcoming constitutional referendum and consolidation in the banking sector in Italy. According to the initial flash estimate, growth in GDP of 0.3 per cent was recorded in the third quarter of 2016 and the eurozone is projected to grow by 1.5 per cent over the entire year, thereby corresponding with the growth in GDP from the previous year. This continues to be supported by internal demand. However, the most recent surveys among consumers and companies no longer indicate increased dynamism, and the downward trend in the unemployment rate (10.0 per cent in September 2016) has levelled out somewhat in recent months.
The Austrian economy meanwhile is gaining pace. The growth in quarterly GDP in the third quarter of 2016 (0.5 per cent) was above that of the common currency area as a whole for the first time in a while. Economic growth overall this year will accelerate to around 1.4 per cent (from 0.8 per cent in 2015). Economic analysts state one-off effects from the tax reform and the increased expenditure on refugees as the reason for this. However, unlike the situation in most eurozone countries, the unemployment rate is experiencing negative development and increased to 6.3 per cent in September 2016.
The majority of financial investors expect the European Central Bank (ECB) to continue its high-volume acquisition of bonds ("quantitative easing") beyond the end originally targeted for this (March 2017). While the rate of inflation has been rising in the eurozone towards the end of the year (0.5 per cent in October), it still remains below the Central Bank's inflationary target in long-term forecasts. The ECB expects inflation to rise to 1.2 per cent in 2017 and 1.6 per cent in 2018. The core inflation rate (excluding energy and food prices) has not shown any signs of an upward tendency up to now (0.8 per cent in October 2016). The ultra loose monetary policy is driving interest rates to record lows in the eurozone. There is currently no end in sight to the period of low interest rates, and there are increasing indications that, aside from the monetary policy, fundamental trends, such as demographic changes and associated savings surpluses, persistent restraint among private investors and poor overall economic productivity gains, play a role here.
There are hardly any direct negative economic consequences that can be identified in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) following the Brexit referendum. The growth prospects for the entire region have even improved slightly since the recession in Russia is expected to be more moderate this year than had originally been expected at the start of the year. Excluding Russia, economic growth in those countries where UNIQA is represented is expected to be just under 3 per cent for this year and next. Some labour markets are continuing to provide positive surprises. Unemployment rates are falling more quickly than expected in many countries (including Poland, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary) and reaching levels that were last seen prior to the financial crisis in 2008/09.
Domestic demand shows a lively development in Central Europe, primarily as a result of the continuous growth in private consumption. Demand for investment should also increase again over the next few months as funds are expected to be accessed from the EU funds on a greater scale. There have been disruptions recently due to the migration to the new EU budget framework (2014–2020). This has historically represented a significant driver for growth for the EU Member States in CEE. The macroeconomic data available implies that the situation is easing in Ukraine. The recession is also coming to an end in Russia, and the fall in GDP following the severe recession in 2015 (–3.7 per cent) is only expected to amount to 0.5 per cent this year. The boom in Romania also reached a new high with a growth rate of 5.9 per cent in the second quarter of 2016. A cyclical recovery is continuing in Bulgaria and Croatia. In Serbia the economic recovery in the first half of 2016 was better than expected. Economic growth in Southeastern Europe is in general slowly approaching the potential for the region. Major investments in construction in particular are driving the economy in some countries in the Southwestern Balkans (Albania, Macedonia and Montenegro).
Premiums written at the UNIQA Group, including savings portions of unit-linked and indexlinked life insurance, fell by 2.3 per cent to €4,753.3 million in the first three quarters of 2016 (1–9/2015: €4,866.1 million) due to the decline in the single premium business in life insurance in Austria. While recurring premiums written rose by 1.9 per cent to €3,949.6 million (1–9/2015: €3,876.8 million), single premiums in life insurance fell by 18.8 per cent to €803.7 million (1–9/2015: €989.3 million).
Premiums earned including the net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance – amounting to €305.1 million (1–9/2015: €351.9 million) – fell in the first three quarters of 2016 by 2.9 per cent to €4,524.4 million (1–9/2015: €4,659.6 million). Net premiums earned (in accordance with IFRSs) fell by 2.1 per cent to €4,219.3 million (1–9/2015: €4,307.6 million).
Premiums written in property and casualty insurance grew in the first six months of 2016 by 2.4 per cent to €2,079.1 million (1–9/2015: €2,029.6 million). Net premiums earned (in accordance with IFRSs) increased by 1.5 per cent to €1,911.9 million (1–9/2015: €1,883.7 million).
In health insurance, premiums written in the reporting period increased by 4.0 per cent to €778.8 million (1–9/2015: €749.1 million). Net premiums earned (in accordance with IFRSs) also grew by 4.2 per cent to €775.2 million (1–9/2015: €744.0 million).
In life insurance, the premiums written including savings portions from the unit-linked and index-linked life insurance fell overall in the first nine months of 2016 by 9.2 per cent to €1,895.3 million (1–9/2015: €2,087.5 million). The general lack of single premiums in the UNIQA Austria segment was the reason for this. The single premium business decreased in the first three quarters of 2016 by 18.8 per cent to €803.7 million (1–9/2015: €989.3 million). Recurring premiums fell by 0.6 per cent to €1,091.6 million (1–9/2015: €1,098.2 million). The Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) in life insurance decreased by 2.1 per cent to €1,172.0 million as a result of this development (1–9/2015: €1,197.1 million). The APE calculation accounts for 10 per cent of single premiums, because the average term of single premiums in Europe is ten years. Annual fluctuations are smoothed out as a result in this calculation. The risk-premium portion accounted for in the premiums in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance in the first three quarters of 2016 was €26.8 million (1–9/2015: €36.3 million). The insured capital in life insurance totalled €81,858.8 million as at 30 September 2016 (30 September 2015: €80,397.7 million). Including the net savings portions of the premiums from the unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, premiums earned fell in life insurance in the first nine months of 2016 by 9.6 per cent to €1,837.3 million (1–9/2015: €2,031.8 million). Net premiums earned (in accordance with IFRSs) decreased by 8.8 per cent to €1,532.1 million (1–9/2015: €1,679.9 million).
The total amount of (net) insurance benefits for the UNIQA Group fell in the first three quarters of 2016 as a result of the significant decrease in premiums in life insurance by 2.3 per cent to €3,431.4 million (1–9/2015: €3,512.5 million). Insurance benefits before consideration of reinsurance decreased by 2.4 per cent to €3,520.2 million (1–9/2015: €3,607.6 million).
Net insurance benefits earned in property and casualty insurance increased slightly less than premiums by 1.3 per cent to €1,284.8 million (1–9/2015: €1,268.0 million). The loss ratio after reinsurance fell in the first nine months of 2016 to 67.2 per cent (1–9/2015: 67.3 per cent). The combined ratio after reinsurance remained at around the same level as the previous year at 98.2 per cent (1–9/2015: 98.0 per cent). Before consideration of the reinsurance, the combined ratio amounted to 96.3 per cent (1–9/2015: 96.3 per cent).
In health insurance, net insurance benefits (including the change in insurance provisions) grew in the first three quarters of 2016 by 7.8 per cent to €654.8 million (1–9/2015: €607.3 million).
Net insurance benefits decreased by 8.9 per cent in life insurance to €1,491.8 million due to the declining premiums in the single premium business (1–9/2015: €1,637.3 million).
Total operating expenses, less reinsurance commission received, rose in the first nine months of 2016 by 1.7 per cent to €1,015.0 million (1–9/2015: €998.5 million). Expenses for the acquisition of insurance fell by 0.8 per cent to €702.7 million (1–9/2015: €708.5 million). The reinsurance commission received amounting to €18.8 million (1–/2015: €17.8 million) has already been deducted from the acquisition costs. Other operating expenses (administrative expenses) increased in the first three quarters of 2016 as a result of initial expenses amounting to approximately €30 million in connection with the innovation and investment programme by 7.8 per cent to €312.4 million (1–9/2015: €289.9 million). The overall cost ratio, i.e. the ratio of total operating expenses to premiums earned, including the net savings portions of premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, therefore increased to 22.4 per cent, taking into account the reinsurance commissions received (1–9/2015: 21.4 per cent).
In property and casualty insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commission received rose in the first three quarters of 2016 by 2.5 per cent to €592.5 million (1–9/2015: €577.8 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance in this line of business amounted to 31.0 per cent (1–9/2015: 30.7 per cent).
In health insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commission received rose by 14.4 per cent to €132.2 million (1–9/2015: €115.5 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance amounted to 17.0 per cent (1–9/2015: 15.5 per cent).
In life insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received decreased by 4.8 per cent to €290.4 million (1–9/2015: €305.2 million). Nevertheless, the cost ratio after reinsurance increased to 15.8 per cent due to the declining premium development in the single premium business (1–9/2015: 15.0 per cent).
The UNIQA Group's investment portfolio (including investment property, financial assets accounted for using the equity method, investments in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance and cash and cash equivalents) increased to €30,584.9 million as at 30 September 2016, compared to the last reporting date (31 December 2015: €29,416.1 million).
Net investment income fell by 20.7 per cent to €490.1 million in the first three quarters of 2016 among other reasons due to negative currency effects (1–9/2015: €618.0 million). Furthermore, the prior-year amount was influenced by positive measurement results and the restructuring of the strategic investment policy carried out in 2015. As the 14.3 per cent holding in STRA-BAG SE was accounted for according to the equity method, there was a positive contribution to the results in the amount of €3.6 million (1–9/2015: €4.9 million) in the first three quarters of 2016. The sale of the stake in Niederösterreichische Versicherung AG resulted in a capital profit (before taxes) amounting to €37.2 million.
The UNIQA Group's technical result fell by 50.7 per cent to €74.4 million in the first three quarters of 2016 (1–9/2015: €151.0 million). Operating profit also decreased by 32.3 per cent to €230.6 million primarily due to less investment income (1–9/2015: €340.4 million). The UNIQA Group's earnings before taxes amounted to €172.2 million (1–9/2015: €301.9 million).
Net profit for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to €149.9 million (1–9/2015: €247.8 million). This includes profit from discontinued operations (after tax) amounting to €7.5 million. Consolidated profit/(loss), i.e. profit/(loss) for the year attributable to the shareholders of UNIQA Insurance Group AG, decreased by 39.3 per cent to €148.8 million (1–9/2015: €245.0 million). Earnings per share amounted to €0.48 (1–9/2015: €0.79). Operating return on equity (earnings before taxes and amortisation of goodwill and impairment losses in relation to average equity including non-controlling interests and excluding the accumulated profits of the valuation of financial instruments available for sale) decreased in the first three quarters of 2016 to 8.7 per cent (1–9/2015: 15.2 per cent).
Total equity attributable to the shareholders of UNIQA Insurance Group AG amounted to €3,367.9 million as at 30 September 2016 (31 December 2015: €3,152.7 million). The noncontrolling interests came to €26.4 million (31 December 2015: €22.1 million). The Group's total assets rose overall as at 30 September 2016 to €34,240.2 million (31 December 2015: €33,078.4 million).
Net cash flows from operating activities in the first three quarters of 2016 amounted to €558.9 million (1–9/2015: €–42.9 million). Cash flows from the UNIQA Group's investing activities amounted to €–628.2 million (1–9/2015: €56.6 million) in line with investment of the revenues received in the reporting period; the financing cash flow amounted to €–147.0 million as a result of dividend payments (1–9/2015: €354.4 million). Overall, cash and cash equivalents fell by €669.4 million to €674.9 million (1–9/2015: €1,344.3 million).
The average number of employees of the UNIQA Group fell in the first nine months of 2016 to 13,908 (1–9/2015: 14,038). These included 5,418 field sales employees (1–9/2015: 5,423). The number of administrative employees fell to 8,490 (1–9/2015: 8,615).
The Half-Year Financial Report 2016 included an adjustment in the segment reporting of the UNIQA Group. In addition to UNIQA Austria, the UNIQA Austria segment now also includes the figures for the former Raiffeisen Insurance Austria segment.
The premium volume written including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance at UNIQA Austria fell in the first three quarters of 2016 by 8.2 per cent to €2,774.7 million as a result of the heavy decline in single premiums in life insurance (1–9/2015: €3,023.6 million). Recurring premiums rose on the other hand by 1.0 per cent to €2,717.5 million (1–9/2015: €2,689.8 million). Single premiums decreased considerably by 82.9 per cent to €57.2 million (1–9/2015: €333.8 million). Premiums earned, including the net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, decreased by 10.2 per cent to €2,203.7 million (1–9/2015: €2,453.6 million). The volume of premiums earned (net, according to IFRS) fell by 10.1 per cent to €2,040.0 million (1–9/2015: €2,269.6 million).
Premiums written in property and casualty insurance rose by 1.4 per cent to €1,222.1 million (1–9/2015: €1,205.1 million), and UNIQA Austria also recorded premium growth of 3.9 per cent to €719.2 million in health insurance (1–9/2015: €692.0 million).
Premiums written in life insurance, including savings portions of unit-linked and indexlinked life insurance, decreased in the UNIQA Austria segment by 26.0 per cent to €833.4 million as a result of the contraction in single premium business (1–9/2015: €1,126.4 million). Recurring premiums decreased by 2.1 per cent to €776.2 million (1–9/2015: €792.6 million), and single premiums also decreased considerably by 82.9 per cent to €57.2 million (1–9/2015: €333.8 million). Premiums in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance for UNIQA Austria fell in the first three quarters of 2016 by 8.3 per cent to €203.2 million (1–9/2015: €221.6 million).
Insurance benefits (net) fell by 10.6 per cent to €1,755.5 million in the UNIQA Austria segment in the first nine months of 2016 as a result of the decline in single premiums (1–9/2015: €1,964.0 million). In property and casualty insurance, the combined ratio after reinsurance amounted to 93.3 per cent (1–9/2015: 92.6 per cent).
Overall operating expenses, less reinsurance commission received, fell in the first three quarters of 2016 by 0.8 per cent to €424.7 million (1–9/2015: €428.1 million). The cost ratio (after reinsurance) amounted to 19.3 per cent (1–9/2015: 17.4 per cent).

For UNIQA International, premiums written including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance rose overall in the first nine months of 2016 by 7.9 per cent to €1,958.3 million (1–9/2015: €1,814.4 million). Single premiums rose by 13.9 per cent to €746.5 million (1–9/2015: €655.5 million). Recurring premiums also rose by 4.6 per cent to €1,211.8 million (1–9/2015: €1,158.8 million). The international companies thereby contributed a total of 41.2 per cent overall in the first three quarters of 2016 (1–9/2015: 37.3 per cent) to total Group premiums. Premiums earned, including the net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, increased by 7.8 per cent to €1,547.0 million (1–9/2015: €1,435.5 million). The volume of premiums earned (net, according to IFRS) even increased by 10.9 per cent to €1,405.6 million (1–9/2015: €1,267.6 million).
In Central Europe (CE) – i.e. Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary – the premium volume written, including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, rose in the first nine months of 2016 by 5.0 per cent to €623.9 million (1–9/2015: €594.2 million). In the region of Eastern Europe (EE), comprising Romania and Ukraine, an increase of 11.5 per cent to €120.8 million (1–9/2015: €108.3 million) was recorded.

Premiums written in the UNIQA International segment in property and casualty insurance increased by 4.9 per cent to €844.0 million (1–9/2015: €804.4 million). As such, the proportion of group companies outside of Austria in overall premiums in property and casualty insurance amounted to 40.6 per cent (1–9/2015: 39.6 per cent).
Premiums written in health insurance increased in the first three quarters of 2016 by 4.7 per cent to €59.7 million (1–9/2015: €57.0 million). As such, the segment was responsible for 7.7 per cent (1–9/2015: 7.6 per cent) of health insurance premiums in the UNIQA Group.
In international life insurance, premiums written, including savings portions from unitlinked and index-linked life insurance, grew in the first nine months of 2016 by 10.7 per cent to €1,054.6 million (1–9/2015: €952.9 million), driven primarily by the positive course of business in Italy.

The third quarter of 2016 has remained largely spared from the economic and political uncertainties that had put pressure on the mood at the international stock exchanges in the first half of 2016. As a result, the fundamentally positive situation on the stock markets – characterised by a positive trend towards profits overall and high appeal as compared with alternative forms of investment – came to the fore and led to rising prices on the markets around the world. The relatively cautious upturn and the somewhat low sales volumes on many stock exchanges are, however, indications of sustained caution of the part of investors.
Market development remains supported by policies implemented by the central banks. The expected tightening of interest rate policy in the US has so far led to one single interest rate increase in December 2015. Thus, weaker US economic data is also accompanied by a continuation of extraordinarily low interest rates. The US stock markets performed well in this environment: the Dow Jones Industrial (DJI), S&P 500 Index and NASDAQ Technology Sector Index reached their respective historical highs over the course of the third quarter of 2016, and also ended the quarter close to these highs. Growth rates are less spectacular compared with the price levels reached; for instance, the DJI grew by 2.1 per cent in the third quarter of 2016 and by 5.1 per cent overall for the first three quarters.
The pan-European stock market index Euro Stoxx 50 also recorded growth of 4.8 per cent in the third quarter of 2016. The crucial reasons for this included a stabilisation in economic expectations, as well as a technical response to the more favourable price levels, following the significant falls in prices during the previous half year. However, looking at the Euro Stoxx 50 over the course of the year thus far, it is in a negative range at –8.1 per cent.
The emerging markets were able to expand further on their price gains in the first half of 2016, supported by the continued low levels of interest rates and the prospect of an improvement of the economic situation in 2017: the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose by 8.3 per cent in the third quarter of 2016 (+14.1 per cent since the start of the year). Emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe also performed well in the third quarter of 2016: the Eastern European index CECE rose by 5.0 per cent.
The Vienna Stock Exchange has recorded an excessively volatile performance over the course of the year so far. Overreactions in the market to global economic concerns and the result of the Brexit vote pushed the ATX leading index below the 2,000 point mark twice during the year. A strong upward trend in the third quarter of 2016 (+14.8 per cent) made up for the setbacks in the first half of 2016 and even managed to drive the index level as at 3 September 2016 (2,405.28 points) above the level at the end of 2015. As such, the ATX was able to outperform the existing annual performance of the European benchmark Euro Stoxx 50 clearly thanks to an excellent third quarter in 2016.

The UNIQA share price rose slightly in the third quarter of 2016. It reached a quarterly high of €6.10 on 8 September 2016. The share price subsequently lost some of its value and was quoted at €5.79 as at 30 September 2016. UNIQA shares experienced a sideways movement after this and reached €5.75 on 4 November 2016. This represents a 23.6 per cent fall compared to the 2015 yearend value (€7.53).

There are no events after the reporting date that are subject to mandatory reporting.
At the beginning of 2016, UNIQA launched the largest innovation programme in its corporate history and will be investing around €500 million over the next few years in "re-designing" its business model and developing the necessary staff expertise and the requisite IT systems. Most of these significant future investments will take effect in 2016. Combined with ongoing, difficult structural conditions, such as sustained low interest rates, declining investment income and political uncertainties in certain markets, UNIQA expects earnings before taxes to decrease by up to 50 per cent for the 2016 financial year, compared with the very good results for 2015.
Despite the investments and challenging economic environment, UNIQA intends to continue increasing its annual distribution per share over the next few years as part of a progressive dividend policy.

The amounts indicated for each business line have been adjusted to eliminate amounts resulting from segment-internal transactions. Therefore, the balance of segment assets and segment equity and liabilities does not allow conclusions to be drawn with regard to the equity allocated to the respective segment.
The consolidated interim financial statements as at 30 September 2016 were prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) recognised by the European Union (EU) as well as the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee.
The accounting and consolidation policies correspond to those applied in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2015, with the exceptions described below.
In May 2014, the IASB issued Clarifications of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38). In connection with its annual improvement projects, the IASB also issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012–2014 Cycle in September 2014. The amendments specify the approach to and measurement and statement of transactions, harmonise terminology and can essentially be seen as editorial amendments to the existing standards. Furthermore, as part of its disclosure initiative, the IASB published changes to IAS 1 in December 2014 with the goal of eliminating hurdles perceived by preparers with respect to measurement bases used in the presentation of financial statements. They are applicable to financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. There are no material changes to the accounting, valuation and consolidation principles arising from application of the new or modified standards associated with this.
As early as December 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published its announcement "Investment entities: applying the consolidation exception". On 23 September 2016, amendments were published in the Official Journal of the European Union concerning IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 clarifying the application of consolidation exceptions in investment entities in European law. Because UNIQA does not apply these exceptions there are no effects of the clarifications to mention here.
On 12 September 2016, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance contracts". With these amendments the IASB addresses concerns about the different effective dates of IFRS 9, the financial instruments standard, and the forthcoming new insurance contracts standard (expected as IFRS 17 within the next six months). During the transition phase, the different effective dates may lead to greater volatility in profit or loss, accounting mismatches and a doubling of costs and efforts required to cope with the changes. For entities whose main business is issuing insurance contracts, the amendments introduce two optional approaches to the application of IFRS 9 "Financial instruments". On the one hand, there is the overlay approach which gives entities applying IFRS 9 at the first-time adoption date, 1 January 2018, the option to recognise, during the transition phase, some of the expenses and income from the profit and loss statement in other comprehensive income. On the other hand, there is the deferral approach which allows a company to apply IAS 39 for financial instruments instead of IFRS 9 for reporting periods that begin prior to 1 January 2021. Based on initial calculations, UNIQA fulfils the criteria to apply one of the two optional approaches. UNIQA has decided to apply the deferral approach.
A decision was made to streamline the group structure in the first quarter of 2016 as part of consistent efforts to implement the UNIQA 2.0 strategic programme that has been ongoing since 2011. Adjustments have been made to the reporting lines in the Group Management Board as a result of the decrease in the size of the Board as part of the strategic programme. The segment reporting was, therefore, subject to a strategic review and was adapted to the organisational structure as at 1 July 2016. The values for the previous year were adjusted accordingly in order to ensure comparability with the previous year's third quarter report.
The accounting and valuation methods of the segments that are subject to mandatory reporting correspond to the consolidated accounting and valuation methods described above. The earnings before taxes for the segments were determined taking the following components into consideration: summation of the IFRS earnings in the individual companies, taking the elimination of investment income in the various segments and amortisation of goodwill into consideration. All other consolidation effects (profit/(loss) at associates, elimination of interim results, and other overall effects) are included in "Consolidation". The segment profit/(loss) obtained in this manner is reported to the Management Board of the UNIQA Insurance Group AG to manage the Group in the following operating segments:
On 1 July 2008, securities previously available for sale were reclassified according to IAS 39/50E as other loans. In total, fixed-income securities with a carrying amount of €2,129.6 million were reclassified. The corresponding revaluation reserve amounted to €–98.2 million as at 30 June 2008. The fair value as at 31 December 2015 was €534.5 million; as at 30 September 2016 it amounted to €509.6 million. The carrying amount of the reclassified securities as at 30 September 2016 was €480.9 million (31 December 2015: €510.1 million). Amortisation expenses of €0.8 million were charged to profit or loss.
In accordance with IAS 34.41, estimates and planning have been used to a greater extent in preparing the interim financial statements than for annual reporting.
The consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in millions of euros (rounded based on commercial rounding methods). Rounding differences may occur through the use of automated calculation tools when totalling rounded amounts and percentages.
With the objective of enabling a clearer presentation of cash flows, reclassifications have been made compared to the presentation in the previous years. Prior-year amounts have been adjusted accordingly.
The scope of consolidation – including UNIQA Insurance Group AG – also included 120 subsidiaries (31 December 2015: 123) and nine associates (31 December 2015: 9) using equity method accounting.
UNIQA Real Estate Inlandsholding GmbH (Vienna) was included within the scope of consolidation for the first time effective 14 June 2016. Sedmi element d.o.o. (Zagreb, Croatia) and Deveti element d.o.o. (Zagreb, Croatia) were merged with UNIQA osiguranje d.d. (Zagreb, Croatia) in January 2016. Furthermore, BSIC Holding LLC (Kiev, Ukraine) was liquidated. Dr. E. Hackhofer EDV-Softwareberatung Gesellschaft m.b.H. (Vienna), which was entered into the Company Register on 1 July 2016 retroactively from 31 December 2015, was merged as transferor company with UNIQA IT Services GmbH (Vienna). Following approval by the Austrian Supreme Court sitting as a competition high court, on 7 July 2016 the acquisition of a 75 per cent stake in Vienna-based Privatklinik Goldenes Kreuz Privatklinik BetriebsGmbH was finalised. Moreover, UNIQA Real II, spol. s r.o. was sold effective 12 August 2016.
As part of the UNIQA 2.0 strategic programme focussing on the core insurance business in the key markets of Austria as well as Central and Eastern Europe, UNIQA also sold its 29 per cent interest in Medial Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft m.b.H. (Vienna) to NOVOMATIC AG (Gumpoldskirchen) in a transfer agreement dated 28 July 2015. Medial Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft m.b.H. has an equity investment of around 38 per cent in Casinos Austria Aktiengesellschaft (Vienna); correspondingly, UNIQA holds an interest of around 11 per cent in Casinos Austria Aktiengesellschaft. The disposal to NOVOMATIC AG is subject to a condition pre-cedent – Medial Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft m.b.H has therefore been reported under assets in disposal groups held for sale. The conditions precedent are essentially mandatory approvals still required under merger law and public law approvals. In a decision dated 26 August 2016, the Higher Regional Court Vienna in its function as anti-trust authority prohibited the takeover of shares by NOVOMATIC AG. NOVOMATIC AG filed an appeal with the Austrian Supreme Court. Because the decision concerning this appeal is still out UNIQA is investigating alternative options for selling the shares in Medial, in the event that the Supreme Court upholds the decision. The sale of the stake in Medial is expected to take place in 2017.
Following the approval by the Supervisory Board dated 7 September 2016, on 13 September 2016 the Group Management Board decided to sell 20 per cent of the shares in Raiffeisen evolution project development GmbH (Vienna). The transfer agreement is currently being prepared. The associate is reported as at 30 September 2016 under the item assets in disposal groups held for sale, with a carrying amount of €15.8 million.
The reporting currency for UNIQA Insurance Group AG is the euro. All financial statements from international subsidiaries, which do not report in euros, are converted at the exchange rate applicable at the reporting date in accordance with the following guidelines:
The resulting currency translation differences are recognised directly in equity. The exchange rates essential to the Group are summarised in the following table:

A range of Group accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group has defined a control framework with regard to the determination of fair value. This includes a measurement team, which bears general responsibility for monitoring all major measurements of fair value, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the Group Management Board.
The measurement team carries out a regular review of the major unobservable input factors and the measurement adjustments. If information from third parties (e.g. price quotations from brokers or price information services) is used to determine fair values, the measurement team examines the evidence obtained from the third parties for the conclusion that such measurements meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy to which these measurements are attributable. Major items in the measurement are reported to the Audit Committee.
As far as possible, the Group uses data that are observable on the market when determining the fair value of an asset or a liability. Based on the input factors used in the valuation techniques, the fair values are assigned to different levels in the fair value hierarchy:
If the input factors used to determine the fair value of an asset or a liability can be assigned to different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the entire fair value measurement is assigned to the respective level of the fair value hierarchy that corresponds to the lowest input factor significant for the measurement overall.
The Group recognises reclassifications between different levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the change occurred.
For the valuation of capital investments, procedures that are best suited for appropriate ascertainment of the value are applied primarily in the Group. The following standard valuation procedures are applied for financial instruments which come under Levels 2 and 3:
The valuation method in the market-value-oriented approach is based on prices or other material information from market transactions which involve identical or comparable assets and liabilities.
The net present value approach corresponds with the method whereby the future (expected) payment flows or earnings are inferred on a current amount.
The cost-oriented approach generally corresponds with the value which would have to be applied in order to procure the asset once again.
The fair value of investment property within the scope of the impairment test in accordance with IAS 36, as well as for the disclosures according to IFRS 13, is determined based on expert reports.
The loans are accounted for in accordance with the valuation method in the "Loans and receivables" category at amortised cost. Any required impairment is determined with due regard to the collateral and the debtor's creditworthiness.
The fair value of financial liabilities and subordinated liabilities is determined using the discounted cash flow method. Yield curves and CDS spreads are used as input factors.

Transfers were made in the reporting period from Level 1 to Level 2 amounting to €816.1 million and from Level 2 to Level 1 amounting to €1,116.4 million. These are attributable primarily to changes in trading frequency and trading activity.
In accordance with the hierarchy set forth in IFRS 13, Level 3 primarily includes fixed-income securities and other equity investments that come under the category "Available for sale". The other equity investments include the shares in Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich Aktiengesellschaft (RZB shares) as their most crucial individual item.

The transfers between Levels 2 and 3 were completed as a result of changes in the observability of the relevant input factors.
For the RZB shares the sensitivity analysis was determined as part of a valuation report and relates to a change in the discount rate and the increase or decrease in the growth rate. An increase in the discount rate by 100 basis points results in a 15 per cent reduction in the value of the RZB shares. A reduction in the discount rate by 100 basis points results in a 12 per cent reduction in the value. An adjustment to the growth rate by 100 basis points results in virtually no adjustment in value.
For the most important fixed-income securities, an increase in the discount rate of 100 basis points results in a 2.2 per cent reduction in the value. A reduction in the discount rate by 100 basis points results in a 2.2 per cent increase in value.

UNIQA was awarded the right to acquire a 75 per cent stake in Vienna-based Privatklinik Goldenes Kreuz Privatklinik BetriebsGmbH ("Goldenes Kreuz") via the PremiQaMed Group in July 2015. The acquisition was subject to review under competition law. The deal was finally closed on 7 July 2016 following confirmation by the Austrian Supreme Court sitting as a competition high court.
If the acquisition had taken place on 1 January 2016, according to estimates of the Group Management Board the non-insurance result would have amounted to €156.9 million and net profit would have been €150.6 million. In determining these amounts, the Management assumed that the provisional fair value adjustments at the time of the acquisition would also have been valid in the event of an acquisition on 1 January 2016.
The consideration paid for the acquisition comprises exclusively cash and cash equivalents amounting to €4.0 million. The incidental costs incurred for this acquisition in 2016 amounting to €0.0 million (1–9/2015: €0.2 million) are recognised under other operating expenses.

At the time of the preparation of the interim report, the necessary market assessments and other calculations had not yet been completed. They were determined based on the best estimate of the foreseeable values carries out by Management.
Receivables (receivables and other assets) acquired in the course of the acquisition have a fair value of €4.9 million. Based on the best possible estimate, there were no uncollectible receivables at the time of the acquisition.
Preliminary calculations based on the estimates made show that no goodwill was generated with the acquisition of the "Goldenes Kreuz" private clinic in Vienna.
Non-controlling interests of 25 per cent were recognised at the time of acquisition and measured at a fair value of €1.3 million.
The consideration paid is offset by an acquired cash position of €0.8 million.
The Management Board of UNIQA Insurance Group AG hereby confirms that, to the best of its knowledge, the condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group as required by the applicable accounting standards and that the interim Group Management Report gives a true and fair view of important events that have occurred during the first nine months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed interim financial statements, of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining three months of the financial year and of the major related party transactions to be disclosed.
These condensed interim financial statements were neither audited nor reviewed by an auditor.
