Calculation differences may arise when rounded amounts and percentages are summed automatically.

  1. Including cash and cash equivalents
  2. Operating retuon equity (operating RoE) measures the profitability of the Group by expressing the business operating result as a ratio of the capital employed.
  3. The value is calculated using shareholders' equity before non-controlling interests, less the revaluation reserve and less hybrid bonds.
  4. Proposed dividend
  5. The calculation of this figure includes the proportional interest expenses for hybrid capital in 2018. The undiluted earnings per share equals the diluted earnings per share (in EUR).

Insuring more, responsibly

Dear Shareholders,

Ladies and Gentlemen!

"We want to be a reliable partner for our stakeholders." Sometimes this is easier said than done. I am therefore all the more pleased that we were able to demonstrate our reliability once again in 2021. With a more in premiums, profits and engagement and with the presentation of our new strategic programme for the period until 2025, we are reinforcing this objective.

We increased our premium volume by 5.5% in financial year 2021, thereby

exceeding­ the EUR 11 billion threshold for the first time, while also earning a solid pre-tax result of EUR 511.3 million. Our well-known strengths - diversity,­ long-term thinking, flexibility and

continuous­ improvement of the existing model - make us resilient and made this more in success possible. They helped us manage the effects of the ongoing pandemic. However, all of this is once again being put to the test by the current state of war in Ukraine. We have become even more closely united as a Group in the past two years and have proven our reliability under difficult conditions. This is all the more important in extreme situations such as those that currently exist in Ukraine. What matters at the moment is taking care of the people there, including our employees and customers. In addition to the human suffering, the conflict and sanctions can be expected to have far-reaching economic effects that are yet difficult to assess. We will also overcome this challenge together. Broad ­diversification across markets and lines of business and local entrepreneurship promote stability and allow us to provide mutual support. Our decentralised

structure­ allows our companies­ to react quickly with solutions that are custom-­ tailored to market needs - even in extreme situations.

Improved combined ratio, higher dividend

In spite of the major natural disasters that occurred in 2021, due to our comprehensive reinsurance programme, which limited the net impact on our results to around EUR 90 million, our combined ratio improved to 94.2%. This success was due in part to sustainable efficiency ­improvements in our business opera- tions. The pandemic also had a positive effect. The reduction in road traffic led to

a ­favourable claims development in

the motor line of business in 2021.
