WARSAW--Polish state-controlled insurer Powszechny Zaklad Ubezpieczen SA (PZU.WA) Thursday reported an 2.9% annual fall in net profit due to lower income from its vast financial portfolio.

The insurer's earnings between July and September fell to 1.09 billion zlotys ($350 million), exceeding expectations of a fall to PLN919 million.

In PZU's core insurance business, gross written premiums fell only marginally to PLN3.91 billion, but were below expectations of PLN4 billion.

Net claims paid by the insurer decreased 5.6% on the year to PLN2.75 billion, in line with expectations.
