Since 2011, the UNIQA Group has made sustainable progress in many areas through the gradual implementation of its UNIQA 2.0 long-term strategy programme. We improved once again in the 1st quarter of 2014– particularly in core insurance business. In an extremely challenging environment, we generated moderate growth of 2.3 per cent to €1,702.6 million in premiums written including savings portions. Retained premiums earned including savings portions rose somewhat more significantly by 3.4 per cent to €1,492.8 million. At the same time, we reduced the cost ratio from 22.3 per cent to 21.2 per cent and also improved the combined ratio, which is very important to insurance business, by 0.5 percentage points to 97.8 per cent. As a result, we succeeded in more than doubling the underwriting result to €65.6 million. This good development is largely attributable to the focus on our core business. However, in light of the historically low level of interest rates, the capital market environment remains difficult for insurance companies. Net investment income thus fell by 36.5 per cent to €143.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2014. It should be noted, though, that the comparative figure for the previous year included the book profit on the disposal of the Austria Hotels International Group, which amounted to €49.1 million, and higher positive exchange rate effects.
Overall, the UNIQA Group generated earnings before tax (EBT) of €81.4 million in the first three months of 2014 (after €116.8 million in the same quarter of the previous year). On a likefor-like basis, i.e. not including the non-recurring effect from the sale of the hotel group, we increased EBT by 20.2 per cent.
All in all, we have come another step closer to achieving our long-term goals. For 2014, we have set ourselves the target of significantly increasing our EBT once again on a year-on-year basis. This assumes that the capital market environment will be stable, that economic development will improve moderately and that losses caused by natural disasters will remain within a normal range. At all events, you can be sure that we will keep to our path and go on work forcefully.
Best regards,
Andreas Brandstetter CEO UNIQA Group
Vienna, May 2014
Since the beginning of 2014, the economic recovery of the euro zone has continued as expected. Economic growth, however, remained moderate. In the 1st quarter of 2014, there was a 0.2 per cent rise in real gross domestic product (GDP) as against the previous quarter. Sentiment among households and companies in the euro zone has improved on a broad basis in recent months. As a result, domestic demand in the euro zone is expected to gain ground again in 2014. In Austria, too, there have recently been increasing signs of greater optimism among consumers and companies. With anticipated GDP growth of 1.5 per cent, Austria is likely to remain one of the fastest-growing economies in the European Monetary Union (EMU) in 2014. However, in most euro zone countries the economic upturn has so far been too weak to significantly reduce the high unemployment rates. In March 2014, the unemployment rate in the euro zone amounted to 11.8 per cent. In Austria, it was well below the EMU average at 4.9 per cent. Inflation fell to new lows, reaching 0.7 per cent in April 2014. The European Central Bank has nevertheless kept its key interest rate unchanged at 0.25 per cent since the beginning of the year.
In Central Europe (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia), the economy is gaining further momentum. Following the upturn in the export sector, economic indicators have also pointed to an increasing recovery in domestic demand in the past months. As a result, economic growth of 2.6 per cent is expected in this region in 2014. In Romania, the economic upturn has been similarly positive to that of the Central European countries. In addition, the low inflation rates and interest rate levels as well as the general improvement in macroeconomic stability have supported the positive outlook in these countries.
In comparison to the high growth rates of the past years, Russia's economy is currently experiencing a slowdown. The geopolitical conflict with Russia is also impacting the Ukrainian economy, which is expected to slide deeper into recession this year. However, Ukraine's financial situation was stabilised in April 2014 by means of a stand-by arrangement with the International Monetary Fund for a loan of USD 17 billion.
Serbia's reformist government gained broad support for the implementation of economic reforms in the elections in March 2014. While this and the EU accession negotiations have led to growing hopes for a better development of the country's long-term growth potential, the economy is expected to be curbed somewhat by public-sector austerity measures in the current year. Although Croatia is recovering from the recession, the economy will continue to stagnate this year. In the southwestern Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro), growth of between 2 per cent and 3 per cent is forecast for 2014.
The quarterly financial statements of the UNIQA Group are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the International Accounting Standards (IAS). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34.
The scope of consolidation was extended by six companies in the reporting period as a result of the acquisition of the Baloise Group's insurance companies in Croatia and Serbia.
On 11 March 2014, after approval had been granted by all of the authorities involved, the UNIQA Group completed the acquisition of the Croatian and Serbian insurance companies of the Swiss Baloise Group. The contract for the acquisition was signed in October 2013. The purchase price was €75 million. With the acquisition and integration of the two companies, the UNIQA Group is further expanding its market position in the Southeastern Europe region.
The premiums written by the UNIQA Group including the savings portion of unit- and indexlinked life insurance increased by 2.3 per cent to €1,702.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €1,664.0 million) due to the strong development in single premium business in the life insurance segment. Premium growth was curbed by a significant decrease in premiums in unit-linked life insurance. This development was also triggered by effects in connection with the resolution to completely withdraw from the German market and not to conclude any new business, which was adopted back in 2011. Recurring premiums decreased slightly by 2.1 per cent to €1,451.6 million (1–3/2013: €1,482.7 million), while single premiums in life insurance grew by 38.5 per cent to €250.9 million (1–3/2013: €181.2 million).
Premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and indexlinked life insurance (which amounted to €121.9 million after €157.4 million in the same period of the previous year) increased by 3.4 per cent in the 1st quarter of 2014 to €1,492.8 million (1–3/2013: €1,443.9 million). Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) grew by 6.6 per cent to €1,370.9 million (1–3/2013: €1,286.5 million).
In the 1st quarter of 2014, the premiums written in property and casualty insurance remained stable overall at €798.3 million (1–3/2013: €797.9 million). By contrast, retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) increased by 1.4 per cent to €621.0 million (1–3/2013: €612.3 million).
The premiums written in health insurance rose by 2.9 per cent in total to €249.5 million during the period under review (1–3/2013: €242.5 million). Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) increased by 2.3 per cent to €238.2 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €232.8 million).
In life insurance, premiums written including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance rose by a total of 5.0 per cent to €654.8 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €623.6 million). This was mainly due to the marked rise in single premiums (particularly in Italy). Single premium business increased by 38.5 per cent to €250.9 million in the 1st quarter (1–3/2013: €181.2 million). By contrast, recurring premiums fell by 8.7 per cent to €403.9 million (1–3/2013: €442.4 million). The annual premium equivalent (APE) in life insurance declined by 6.8 per cent to €429.0 million (1–3/2013: €460.5 million). As the average term of the single premiums in Europe is ten years, 10 per cent of the single premiums were included in the APE calculation, which serves to even out annual fluctuations. The risk premium share of unit- and index-linked life insurance included in the premiums amounted to €12.9 million in the 1st quarter (1–3/2013: €36.4 million). The insured sum in life insurance as at 31 March 2014 came to a total of €79,383.5 million (31 March 2013: €76,233.0 million). Including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance, premiums earned in life insurance rose by 5.8 per cent to €633.5 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €598.7 million). Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) increased by 15.9 per cent to €511.7 million (1–3/2013: €441.3 million).
The total amount of retained insurance benefits of the UNIQA Group rose by 4.9 per cent – still more slowly than retained premiums earned – to €1,098.9 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €1,047.3 million). Insurance benefits before reinsurance also increased by 4.9 per cent to €1,124.8 million (1–3/2013: €1,072.5 million).
Retained insurance benefits in property and casualty insurance rose by 2.4 per cent to €414.6 million (1–3/2013: €405.0 million). The loss ratio after reinsurance increased slightly to 66.8 per cent in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: 66.1 per cent). However, the combined ratio after reinsurance fell to 97.8 per cent (1–3/2013: 98.3 per cent) due to the improved cost situation. Before taking reinsurance into consideration, the gross combined ratio was 95.0 per cent (1–3/2013: 95.2 per cent).
By contrast, retained insurance benefits (including the change in actuarial provisions) in health insurance declined by 4.6 per cent to €192.5 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €201.8 million).
In life insurance, they increased by 11.7 per cent to €491.9 million (1–3/2013: €440.5 million).
Total operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received fell by 1.6 per cent to €316.4 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €321.5 million). Operating expenses for acquisition increased by 5.0 per cent to €224.8 million (1–3/2013: €214.1 million). Reinsurance commissions received in the amount of €7.8 million (1–3/2013: €7.9 million) were already deducted from acquisition expenses. Other operating expenses (administration costs) decreased by 14.7 per cent in the 1st quarter of 2014 to €91.6 million (1–3/2013: €107.4 million). The cost ratio – the ratio of total operating expenses to premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance – less reinsurance commissions received fell to 21.2 per cent (1–3/2013: 22.3 per cent).
In property and casualty insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received decreased by 2.2 per cent to €192.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €196.9 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance in property and casualty insurance correspondingly fell to 31.0 per cent (1–3/2013: 32.2 per cent).
In health insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received climbed by 6.6 per cent to €39.8 million (1–3/2013: €37.3 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance in health insurance amounted to 16.7 per cent (1–3/2013: 16.0 per cent).
In life insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received fell by 3.7 per cent to €84.1 million (1–3/2013: €87.3 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance in life insurance decreased to 13.3 per cent (1–3/2013: 14.6 per cent).
The investment portfolio of the UNIQA Group (including self-used land and buildings, land and buildings held as financial investments, shares in associated companies, investments held on account and at risk of life insurance policyholders and liquid funds) increased by €881.1 million compared with the last balance sheet date and totalled €28,264.7 million as at 31 March 2014 (31 December 2013: €27,383.6 million).
Net investment income decreased by 36.5 per cent in the 1st quarter of 2014 to €143.6 million (1–3/2013: €226.0 million). The comparative figure for the previous year includes the book profit on the disposal of the Austria Hotels International Group, which amounted to €49.1 million. In addition, this development firstly results from the fact that the prior-year quarter was influenced by higher positive exchange rate effects than the 1st quarter of 2014, and secondly from the effect of the continuing low interest rates on new investment.
The technical profit of the UNIQA Group increased significantly by 146.3 per cent to €65.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €26.6 million). However, the UNIQA Group's profit on ordinary activities declined by 30.3 per cent to €81.4 million (1–3/2013: €116.8 million) due to the decreased investment result.
The net profit came to €57.7 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €77.5 million). The consolidated profit (after taxes and minority interests) accordingly also fell by 26.4 per cent to €55.9 million (1–3/2013: €76.0 million). Earnings per share amounted to €0.18 (1–3/2013: €0.36). The return on equity after taxes and minority interests was 7.9 per cent in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: adjusted 11.1 per cent).
Compared to the end of 2013, the UNIQA Group's total equity increased by 6.0 per cent to €2,957.0 million as at 31 March 2014 (31 December 2013: €2,789.9 million). This figure includes minority interests of €25.3 million (31 December 2013: €22.2 million). The solvency ratio (Solvency I) remained virtually unchanged at a satisfactory 286.6 per cent (31 December 2013: 287.1 per cent). The Group's total assets increased to €32,026.4 million as at 31 March 2014 (31 December 2013: €31,068.6 million).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to €329.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €374.8 million). Reflecting the investment of incoming revenue during the period under review, cash flow from the investing activities of the UNIQA Group amounted to minus €95.6 million (1–3/2013: minus €150.9 million). Cash flow from financing activities totalled minus €0.9 million (1–3/2013: €3.4 million). All in all, liquid funds decreased by €333.9 million to €852.3 million (1–3/2013: €1,186.2 million).
The average number of employees at the UNIQA Group increased to 14,656 in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: 14,400) as a result of the acquisition of the Baloise Group's insurance companies in Croatia and Serbia. Of this figure, 6,082 (1–3/2013: 6,115) were employed in sales positions. The number of employees in administrative positions rose to 8,574 (1–3/2013: 8,285).
UNIQA Austria's premium volume written, including the savings portion of unit- and indexlinked life insurance, decreased by 2.5 per cent to €817.8 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €838.9 million). This is due chiefly to a significant decrease in premiums in unitlinked life insurance. This development was also triggered by effects in connection with the resolution to completely withdraw from the German market and not to conclude any new business, which was adopted back in 2011. Recurring premiums fell by 1.8 per cent to €813.5 million (1–3/2013: €828.6 million). Single premiums declined by 58.2 per cent to €4.3 million (1– 3/2013: €10.3 million).

Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) were down by 1.1 per cent at €493.0 million (1–3/2013: €498.3 million).
In property and casualty insurance, UNIQA Austria increased premiums written by 1.1 per cent to €452.5 million (1–3/2013: €447.4 million), while in health insurance, the premium volume written rose by 1.8 per cent to €227.8 million (1–3/2013: €223.7 million).
The premium volume written in life insurance, including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance, declined by 18.0 per cent to €137.6 million (1–3/2013: €167.8 million). Recurring premiums fell by 15.4 per cent to €133.2 million (1–3/2013: €157.5 million), while single premiums declined by 58.2 per cent to €4.3 million (1–3/2013: €10.3 million). UNIQA Austria's premium volume in unit- and index-linked life insurance decreased by 42.7 per cent to €40.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €70.9 million).
Retained insurance benefits in the UNIQA Austria segment fell by 5.5 per cent to €406.6 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €430.3 million). The combined ratio in property and casualty insurance amounted to 96.3 per cent after reinsurance (1–3/2013: 94.6 per cent).

Net investment income in the UNIQA Austria segment fell by 30.1 per cent to €58.8 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €84.2 million). Earnings before taxes decreased by 19.9 per cent to €33.3 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €41.6 million) due to the lower investment result.
Premiums written at Raiffeisen Insurance fell by 5.6 per cent to €224.8 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €238.2 million). Recurring premiums decreased by 9.0 per cent to €204.4 million (1–3/2013: €224.6 million), whereas the volume of single premiums increased by 50.0 per cent to €20.4 million (1–3/2013: €13.6 million). Premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance fell by 6.6 per cent to €194.4 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €208.1 million). By contrast, retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) increased by 2.8 per cent to €160.7 million (1–3/2013: €156.3 million).
Premiums written at Raiffeisen Insurance in property and casualty insurance climbed by 5.9 per cent to €40.3 million (1–3/2013: €38.1 million). Raiffeisen Insurance does not offer health insurance.
Life insurance premiums written at Raiffeisen Insurance (including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance) fell by 7.8 per cent to €184.5 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €200.1 million). This is due chiefly to a significant decrease in premiums in unit-linked life insurance. This development was also triggered by effects in connection with the resolution to completely withdraw from the German market and not to conclude any new business, which was adopted back in 2011. Recurring premiums decreased by 12.0 per cent to €164.1 million (1–3/2013: €186.5 million), whereas single premiums rose by 50.0 per cent to €20.4 million (1–3/2013: €13.6 million).

Retained insurance benefits fell by 8.8 per cent to €156.2 million (1–3/2013: €171.3 million). The combined ratio in property and casualty insurance amounted to 80.8 per cent after reinsurance (1–3/2013: 104.3 per cent).
Operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received decreased by 29.5 per cent to €17.0 million (1–3/2013: €24.2 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance amounted to 8.8 per cent (1–3/2013: 11.6 per cent).

UNIQA International significantly increased its premiums written including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance by 13.0 per cent to €637.9 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €564.7 million). Recurring premiums increased by 1.1 per cent to €411.7 million (1–3/2013: €407.4 million). Single premiums climbed by 43.8 per cent to €226.2 million (1–3/2013: €157.3 million) as a result of very strong business in Italy. This meant that the international companies contributed 37.5 per cent of total Group premiums in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: 33.9 per cent). Premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance increased by 19.6 per cent to €484.7 million (1–3/2013: €405.1 million). Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) rose by 22.5 per cent to €430.2 million (1–3/2013: €351.2 million).

In Eastern Europe (EE) – consisting of Romania and Ukraine – premiums written, including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance, fell by 4.0 per cent to €49.5 million (1–3/2013: €51.5 million). In Southeastern Europe (SEE) – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia – they remained roughly on a par with the previous year's level at €53.6 million (1–3/2013: €54.0 million). In Russia (RU), premiums written increased by 14.6 per cent to €16.2 million (1–3/2013: €14.1 million). In Western Europe (WE) – Italy, Liechtenstein and Switzerland – premiums written, including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance, rose by 50.4 per cent to €295.3 million (1–3/2013: €196.3 million) due to the increase in single premiums in Italy.
In the UNIQA International segment, premiums written in property and casualty insurance decreased by 2.3 per cent to €286.4 million (1–3/2013: €293.1 million) due to the strategic reduction of low-margin vehicle business in CEE. The proportion of total premiums in property and casualty insurance attributable to Group companies outside Austria amounted to 35.9 per cent (1–3/2013: 36.7 per cent).
In health insurance, UNIQA International increased its premiums written by 15.7 per cent to €21.7 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €18.8 million), thus contributing 8.7 per cent (1–3/2013: 7.8 per cent) to the health insurance premiums of the UNIQA Group.
By contrast, life insurance business in the UNIQA International segment increased significantly in the first three months of 2014. Premiums written including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance rose by 30.5 per cent to €329.8 million (1–3/2013: €252.7 million), primarily due to the positive business development in Italy, Russia and Ukraine. Single premiums grew by 43.8 per cent to €226.2 million (1–3/2013: €157.3 million). Recurring premiums also displayed considerable growth impetus, rising by 8.5 per cent to €103.5 million (1–3/2013: €95.4 million). The share of the UNIQA Group's total life insurance premiums attributable to UNIQA International thus climbed to 50.4 per cent in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: 40.5 per cent). Premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance in international business remained at the previous year's level at €57.9 million (1–3/2013: €58.4 million).
Retained insurance benefits in the UNIQA International segment rose by 32.2 per cent to €346.6 million (1–3/2013: €262.2 million) as a result of the increased business volume. The combined ratio in property and casualty insurance fell to 101.4 per cent after reinsurance (1–3/2013: 104.0 per cent). In the CE region, benefits decreased by 1.0 per cent to €60.8 million (1–3/2013: €61.5 million), while the figure for the EE region rose by 9.3 per cent to €21.1 million (1–3/2013: €19.3 million). In SEE, they decreased by 1.2 per cent to €23.8 million (1–3/2013: €24.1 million). In Russia, benefits amounted to €9.9 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €7.2 million), while in Western Europe they also increased by 53.8 per cent to €230.9 million (1–3/2013: €150.1 million).
Operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received fell by 0.5 per cent to €106.6 million (1–3/2013: €107.2 million) despite the increased business volume. The cost ratio after reinsurance therefore decreased to 22.0 per cent (1–3/2013: 26.5 per cent). In CE, costs fell by 8.7 per cent to €39.2 million (1–3/2013: €42.9 million), in EE they remained stable at €18.3 million (1–3/2013: €18.3 million), and in SEE they rose by 5.7 per cent to €17.9 million (1–3/2013: €16.9 million). In Russia, costs amounted to €5.1 million in the first three months of 2014 (1–3/2013: €4.8 million), while the figure for Western Europe increased by 9.7 per cent to €19.5 million (1–3/2013: €17.8 million). Operating expenses attributable to administration (UNIQA International AG) grew slightly by 2.9 per cent to €6.7 million (1–3/2013: €6.5 million).
Net investment income in the UNIQA International segment increased by 32.5 per cent to €41.0 million (1–3/2013: €30.9 million). The profit from ordinary activities rose significantly to €13.9 million (1–3/2013: €1.6 million).
Premiums written in the reinsurance segment amounted to €380.0 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €381.9 million). In property and casualty insurance, premiums written decreased slightly by 0.6 per cent to €366.9 million (1–3/2013: €369.0 million). In health insurance they amounted to €0.4 million (1–3/2013: €0.3 million), while in life insurance they amounted to €12.7 million (1–3/2013: €12.5 million).
Insurance benefits retained increased by 3.7 per cent to €194.2 million (1–3/2013: €187.2 million). Operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received remained stable at €87.7 million (1–3/2013: €87.0 million). Investment income in the reinsurance segment increased by 36.5 per cent to €6.3 million (1–3/2013: €4.6 million). Earnings before taxes climbed by 30.1 per cent to €12.4 million (1–3/2013: €9.6 million).
In the Group Functions and Consolidation segment, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received amounted to €3.0 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €3.8 million). The investment result amounted to minus €13.9 million in the 1st quarter of 2014 (1–3/2013: €28.1 million). The profit from ordinary activities in the Group Functions and Consolidation segment amounted to minus €13.8 million (1–3/2013: €28.2 million).

At the end of the 1st quarter of 2014, several stock indices were close to their level at the end of 2013. Questions relating to central bank policy, uncertainty regarding the economic situation and political turbulence in connection with Ukraine led to significant price adjustments in some cases, which interrupted the generally positive trend. After a positive start to 2014, fears of an overly rapid withdrawal of the US central bank's expansive measures, disappointing economic data from the USA and indications of a surprisingly weak economic development in the emerging markets (particularly in China) resulted in substantial price adjustments. These irritations were rapidly overcome on most markets, but the renewed upturn was halted in late February by the crisis in Ukraine. The following correction changed to a renewed upturn in mid-March, when it became established on the markets that the effects of the Ukraine crisis would remain at a manageable level.
The US stock index Dow Jones Industrial fell by 0.7 per cent in the 1st quarter of 2014. A relatively sharp drop in late January and early February was overcome through growing confidence in the central bank's policy and improved economic data. The Ukraine crisis had less of an effect on the US stock market than it did on Europe. However, the Euro Stoxx 50 quickly compensated for the price declines in the first half of March and even closed the 1st quarter with a slight increase of 1.7 per cent.
Weak Chinese economic data and the potential effects of a tightening of the US central bank's policy led to a downturn in the stock market performance in emerging markets at the beginning of the year. However, the decline was almost reversed over the remainder of the period, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index falling only slightly by 0.8 per cent overall in the 1st quarter. Despite a very substantial correction as a result of the Ukraine crisis, the CECE Eastern Europe Index even ended the first three months of 2014 with a slight increase of 1.5 per cent.

The Vienna Stock Exchange made a strong start to the 1st quarter, with the leading index ATX reaching its high for the year to date in mid-January at 2,729.07 points. Two significant corrections – resulting from concern about the global economic development and from the events in Ukraine respectively – caused the index value to fall by more than 12 per cent to its low for the year of 2,386.96 points as at 14 March 2014. However, a rapid recovery in the index performance meant that the overall decline in the ATX in the 1st quarter was kept within limits at 0.9 per cent.
The UNIQA share price rose in the first three months of 2014 and stood at €9.64 on 31 March 2014. This represents an increase of 3.9 per cent compared to the price at the end of 2013 (€9.28). The sharp rise in the shares' liquidity following the successful re-IPO in 2013 led to their inclusion in the leading index in Vienna, the ATX, in March 2014. The shares performed somewhat more weakly at the start of the 2nd quarter of 2014, closing at €9.13 on 5 May 2014. This corresponds to a slight decline of 1.6 per cent compared to their price at the end of 2013.
There were no events requiring reporting after the balance sheet date.
For 2014, the UNIQA Group has set itself the objective of significantly increasing its profit on ordinary activities again compared with 2013. This assumes that the capital market environment will be stable, that economic development will continue to improve moderately and that losses caused by natural disasters will remain within a normal range.

As a publicly listed company, UNIQA Insurance Group AG is obliged to prepare its Consolidated Financial Statements according to internationally accepted accounting principles. These Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the period ending 31 March 2014 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the International Accounting Standards (IAS), in the versions applicable to this reporting period. The accounting and valuation principles and consolidation methods are the same as those applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2013 business year.
On 1 July 2008, securities previously available for sale were reclassified according to IAS 39/50E as other loans. Overall, fixed-interest securities with a book value of €2,130.2 million were reclassified. The corresponding revaluation reserve as at 30 June 2008 was minus €98.2 million. The market value as at 31 December 2013 was €812.5 million; the current market value as at 31 March 2014 amounted to €796.1 million, which corresponded to a change in market value of plus €6.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2014. The book value of the reclassified securities amounted to €765.1 million as at 31 March 2014 (31 December 2013: 788.1 million). In addition, an amortisation gain of €80,436 was posted in the income statement.
For creation of these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, according to IAS 34.41, estimates are used to a greater extent than as in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition to the interim financial statement of UNIQA Insurance Group AG, the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include the interim financial statements of all Austrian and international subsidiaries. A total of 25 affiliated companies did not form part of the scope of consolidation. They were of only minor significance, even if taken together, for the presentation of a true and fair view of the Group's assets, financial position and income. The scope of consolidation, therefore, contains – in addition to UNIQA Insurance Group AG –127 subsidiaries in which the UNIQA Group held the majority voting rights.
The scope of consolidation was extended by six companies in the reporting period as a result of the acquisition of the Baloise Group's insurance companies in Croatia and Serbia.

The net investment income of €143.6 million included realised and unrealised gains and losses amounting to plus €0.1 million, which included currency losses of €1.5 million. The effects mainly resulted from investments in Russian rouble.
In addition, positive currency effects amounting to €1.9 million were recorded directly under equity.
The table below depicts the financial instruments for which subsequent valuation is performed at the current market value. These are divided into levels 1 to 3, depending on the extent to which the current market value can be observed.
Level 1 valuations at current market value are ones that result from listed prices (unadjusted) on the active markets for identical financial assets and liabilities.
Level 2 valuations at current market value are those based on parameters that do not correspond to listed prices for assets and liabilities as in level 1 (data) and are derived either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 valuations at current market value are those arising from models using parameters for the valuation of assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable prices, assumptions).
