Insurance premium income in France amounted to
€9.5 billion as at 30 June 2023, up +4.3% compared with 30
June 2022.
In property and casualty insurance, premium
income reached €5.1billion as at 30 June 2023, up +8.7% compared
with 30 June 2022. Individual and professional insurance rose +7.9%
to €2.8 billion, driven by growth in home insurance (+11.3%)
and motor insurance (+4.6%). Insurance for businesses and local
authorities increased significantly (+8.7%) as well as the
agricultural segment (+11.9%).
The business in health insurance and protection
continued to grow (+8.2%) to 3.2 billion euros at 30 June 2023,
driven by the health sectors (+5.8%) and collective acceptances
(+51.5%).
In savings and pensions, premium income was down
(-17.6%) to €1.2 billion at 30 June 2023, in a sluggish market. The
rate of Unit-Linked policies in net life insurance inflows remains
close to 50%, in line with that of last year.
Over the first half of 2023, premium income
reached €1.5 billion, up +13.3% from 30 June 2022 on a
like-for-like basis and with constant exchange rates, benefiting
from the strong growth in activity in Romania (+27.8%) and in
Hungary (+24.1%).
Property and casualty insurance premium income
reached €1.1 billion as at 30 June 2023, up +13.9% from the
previous period. This strong growth is driven by motor insurance
(+14.6%) which is growing in most countries where the group
operates, as well as the good performance of the business and local
authority segments (+11.0%), particularly in Hungary, Italy and
Romania.
The activity in health and protection increased
significantly (+10.1%), benefiting from the growth of the group
health (+32.2%) and individual protection (+6.2%)
branches.
Premium income in retirement savings grew
strongly (+12.4%), particularly in individual retirement savings
(+10.0%), supported by strong growth in unit linked (+25.6%),
mitigated by the decline in euros products (-4.5%). This increase
was driven by Hungary. Group pensions also increased (+29.5%),
mainly in Greece (+36.1%).
The Group’s premium income was
€103 million, including €99 million from Groupama Asset
Management and €4 million from Groupama Epargne
Salariale. Results
The Group’s economic operating income was
€612 million as at 30 June 2023.
It comes from property and casualty insurance
for 378 million euros at 30 June 2023, and benefits from very
moderate climate claims, while the first half of 2022 was marked by
an exceptionally high level of climate events. The group’s non-life
combined ratio was 91.6% at 30 June 2023, including the benefit of
the current year’s provisions discount, as required by IFRS 17, and
97.8% excluding this discount benefit.
In life and health insurance, operating income
was €239 million as at 30 June 2023, which comes mainly from
business in France.
The economic operating income from financial
activities amounted to +€15 million, and the Group’s holding
business posted an economic operating loss of – €19 million as at
30 June 2023.
The reconciliation of economic operating income
to net income includes non-recurring items, in particular the
foreign exchange loss related to the sale of the group’s Turkish
activities, which was already deducted from equity. The Group’s
overall net income was +€447 million as at 30 June 2023, a
strong increase compared to proforma net income at 30 June 2022 of
-96 million euros (232 million euros in IFRS 4 standards at 30 June
2022).
Balance sheet
Group’s IFRS equity amounted to €9.6 billion as
at 30 June 2023 compared with €8.8 billion proforma as at 31
December 2022. This rise is linked half to the net income
contribution and half to the market environment (exchange rate and
revaluation reserve).
The group’s contractual services margin, which
represents the deferred future profits of current contracts,
calculated on a discounted basis, amounted to 3.8 billion euros at
30 June 2023 and increased by +2.2% compared to 31 December
2022.
At 30 June 2023, the Solvency 2 ratio,
without transitional measure on underwriting reserves, was 222%.
The increase of +15 points in this ratio compared with the end of
2022 is primarily due to changes in financial market conditions and
the net income over the period. The ratio with the transitional
measure on underwriting reserves authorised by the ACPR (French
insurance and banking regulator), was 287%.
The Group's financial strength was highlighted
by Fitch Ratings, which affirmed Groupama's rating to 'A+' with a
'Stable' outlook on 30 May 2023.
