Commenting on the results, Andrew Langford, Chief Executive, said: 
 
 
"Recently published 2008 figures from the Irish Insurance Industry confirmed 
combined ratios of 137% for home and 105% for car insurance. This clearly 
demonstrates the need for the rate increases being applied throughout the 
industry in the year to date.  FBD took early action and applied single digit 
increases at the start of 2008 and again earlier this year, benefiting our 
underlying combined ratio.  As a result, any further FBD increases will be less 
severe than likely increases elsewhere. 
 
 
FBD Group has a strong capital base and balance sheet and a prudent reserving 
strategy. Despite the current difficult financial environment, FBD is confident 
that it will continue to outperform its peers in delivering higher returns for 
shareholders, particularly in an environment where premium rates are hardening."

  FBD HOLDINGS PLC 
HALF YEARLY REPORT 
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2009 
 
 
 
 
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT 
 
 
PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW 
 
 
In a very challenging trading and economic environment, FBD has delivered a 
robust performance and generated operating profits from both its underwriting 
and non-underwriting businesses. 
 
 
 
 
Underwriting 
At EUR10.1m, (2008: EUR35.9m) operating profit from underwriting is lower than last 
year principally because of reduced premium income, an increase in claims costs 
and a lower longer term investment return. 
 
 
Gross premium written in the first half of 2009 amounted to EUR180.7m, down 8.9%. 
The decline is reflective of the trend in the market as a whole - insurable risk 
varies directly with economic activity and consumer spending - and also the 
Group's decision to continue to prioritise underwriting discipline over volume 
growth, pending an improved pricing environment. While the Consumer Price Index 
shows a trend of increases in car and home insurance rates, it does not take 
into consideration lower levels of risk, for example reducing car values. 
Likewise, in the commercial insurance market, premiums are declining because of 
business closures and reductions in turnover and payroll costs across the 
economy. 
 
 
The Irish Insurance Federation recently reported a combined ratio of 98.1% for 
the insurance industry in the year ended 31 December 2008. The 2009 combined 
ratio for the industry as a whole is likely to have deteriorated further as a 
result of continuing competition in the second half of 2008, further adverse 
weather conditions and a worsening claims experience. The industry must operate 
at premium levels that provide an adequate return on capital. FBD will maintain 
its underwriting discipline to ensure that point is reached. Market rates did 
begin to harden late in 2008 and this has continued through the first half of 
2009. 
 
Recently published industry data shows that FBD continued to perform ahead of 
the market in 2008. FBD increased its market share for the eighth consecutive 
year and is now the second largest property and casualty insurer in Ireland, 
with a market share of 11.6%. 
 
 
FBD's progress in Dublin and other large urban centres continues, with growth of 
10% in customer numbers in the first half of 2009. The initiative launched in 
April 2008 to increase commercial lines business in Dublin, via intermediaries, 
has proven successful and further brokers have been added to our panel.  Our 
direct sales force in Dublin has also grown its commercial book. NoNonsense.ie 
and fbd.ie (our online offerings) continue to attract a higher proportion of 
customers from Dublin and other urban centres. Following the realignment of our 
office network, local office staff are focussed on providing an enhanced level 
of service to our farming and commercial customers. 
 
 
In May, FBD launched a new logo and brand identity, backed by a major marketing 
campaign. The logo is the first redesign in twenty years. It retains the green 
and blue which are FBD's legacy colours, but presents them in a much more modern 
style and typeface. The campaign is currently running across television, print, 
radio, outdoor and online media. 
 
 
The Group's loss ratio increased to 84.3% (2008: 75.1%) in the first half of 
2009. Property claims frequency across the Irish market continued to rise, 
primarily attributable to weather related claims in the month of January and an 
increase in claims associated with the economic downturn.  In addition, FBD's 
large claims experience was higher than normal partly attributable to a 
deterioration in a small number of prior year claims.  Frequency of motor claims 
has reduced as fewer accidents and deaths reflect the fall in the number of cars 
on the road and miles driven. The Group continues to successfully implement a 
number of initiatives to reduce the cost of claims. When the impact of the 
severe weather and abnormal level of large claims experienced in the first half 
are excluded, the claims initiatives together with our timely actions on rates 
are improving the underlying loss ratio. 
 
 
Operating expenses increased 1.8% to EUR39.4m (2008: EUR38.7m). The benefit of the 
office network realignment process will be realised in the second half.  A rise 
in the cost of reinsurance and the impact of reducing net earned premium have 
contributed to an increase in the net expense ratio for the first six months to 
20.9% (2008: 17.5%).Given FBD's relatively fixed cost base, the Group will 
benefit from positive operating leverage as prices rise.Recently published 
industry data shows that the industry net expense ratio for the year 2008 was 
27.8% compared to FBD's 17.0%, providing the Group with a maintainable 
competitive advantage. 
 
 
The Group's combined operating ratio for the six months to 30 June 2009 was 
105.2% (2008: 92.6%) resulting in an underwriting loss of EUR8.3m (2008: 
underwriting profit of EUR12.8m). 
 
 
Longer term investment return at EUR18.4m was lower than the EUR23.1m in the same 
period last year because fewer assets are held for investment following 
distributions to shareholders. The rate of return on these assets reduced and 
the asset mix was more conservative. 
 
 
 
 
Non-underwriting 
Market conditions for the non-underwriting businesses in Ireland and Spain 
continued to be very challenging.  The Group's leisure and property interests 
include the La Cala and Sunset Beach resorts in Spain and FBD Hotels in Ireland. 
 
 
In the difficult trading conditions, these businesses delivered a solid result, 
breaking even in the period (2008: profit of EUR3.9m). Operating profit was lower 
than the previous year because fewer properties were sold in La Cala and 
performance in the hotels located in Dublin was impacted by market oversupply. 
 Sunset Beach Resort and the hotel and golf operations in La Cala performed 
strongly. The Irish hotels within the Group's property and leisure business were 
re-branded as FBD Hotels during the first half of 2009. 
 
 
Financial services - other includes the contributions from general insurance 
broking (FBD Brokers), life assurance/pension broking/investment advice (FBD 
Financial Solutions), instalment finance and costs incurred in the holding 
company.  The combined contribution of EUR2.8m (2008: EUR2.5m) was higher than last 
year, principally because 2008 included the costs incurred by the holding 
company following the unsolicited approach from Eureko B.V. 
 
 
FBD Brokers delivered a solid result in the first half. In a difficult 
investment climate, FBD Financial Solutions concentrated on sales of pension 
products as the market for retail investment products remained weak.The business 
unit has been pro-active in managing its cost structure, with headcount down by 
10%. During the period the business re-branded from FBD Life to FBD Financial 
Solutions to more appropriately reflect the services it provides to customers. 
 
 
 
 
Pre-tax result 
The loss before tax was adversely affected by negative fluctuations in 
investment returns amounting to EUR19.9m (2008: EUR44.2m) and write downs of 
non-underwriting land and buildings amounting to EUR11.1m (2008: nil). 
 
Restructuring costs of EUR2.0m have been charged to the Condensed Consolidated 
Income Statement in the first half of 2009 in respect of the finalisation of the 
office network realignment process, which brings the total cost of the 
restructuring process to EUR9.6m. This will deliver a two percentage point 
reduction in the Group's expense ratio in a full year, a payback period of 16 
months. The process is close to a successful conclusion and will allow FBD serve 
the changing needs of customers, cost effectively.  Group headcount (full time 
equivalents) has reduced from 1,741 at 31 December 2008 to 1,605 at 30 June 
2009. 
 
 
After charging finance costs of EUR1.8m (2008: EUR1.8m), the Group recorded a loss 
before tax of EUR21.8m (2008: EUR5.2m). 
 
 
 
 
La Cala Tranche II 
Subsequent to the failure of the relevant local authorities to complete the 
planning process relating to the Tranche II lands at La Cala before the deadline 
stipulated in conditional sale agreement, the Group succeeded in having legal 
title to the land transferred back in compliance with the terms of the 
agreement. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dividends 
The Board is committed to ensuring that the Group's capital position continues 
to be robust and its balance sheet well-managed. Consequently, in view of the 
continuing uncertain outlook for asset values in the short term, the Board has 
concluded that it should remain prudent at this time. The Group is, however, 
committed to a progressive dividend policy and efficient capital management and 
this is evidenced by the repatriation of EUR546m of funds to shareholders since 
2005 (excluding ordinary dividends). 
 
 
The Board has approved a 2009 interim dividend of 10 cent per ordinary share 
(2008: 30.25 cent). This will be paid on 2 October 2009 to the holders of shares 
on the register on 4 September 2009.The interim dividend is subject to 
withholding tax ("DWT") except for shareholders who are exempt from DWT and who 
have furnished a properly completed declaration of exemption to the Company's 
Registrar, from whom further details may be obtained. 
 
 
 
 
BALANCE SHEET 
 
 
The Group balance sheet remains very strong. Ordinary shareholders' funds 
amounted to EUR213.0m (December 2008: EUR235.4m) and net assets per share were 
640.22 cent (December 2008: 707.60 cent). 
 
 
The Group believes it is still appropriate to adopt a prudent balance sheet 
position and since the second quarter of 2007, it has reduced its equity and 
corporate bonds holdings from EUR348m to EUR40m at the balance sheet date. In the 
period, FBD Insurance has invested a further EUR115m in government gilts. The 
following table shows how the assets of the underwriting business are invested 
at 1 January and 30 June 2009.

In the Group as a whole, short term fluctuations and valuation adjustments 
amounted to a charge of EUR34.3m, including a EUR12.0m provision against secured 
loans and EUR10.9m relating to the revaluation of hotel and golf resort property 
assets. In addition, the Group's investment properties, principally those 
located in Dublin, have been revalued downwards by EUR6.3m. 
 
 
Under mark-to-market accounting principles, as set out in table 2 below, the 
Group booked EUR19.9m of investment fluctuations through the Condensed 
Consolidated Income Statement and recognised a further EUR14.4m write down of 
non-underwriting land and building values. Of this, EUR11.1m was charged to the 
Condensed Consolidated Income Statement and the balance of EUR3.3m went directly 
to reserves.

The Group's portfolio of prime property assets, held for the long term, has been 
independently valued by professional external valuers at 30 June 2009. The Group 
believes that the valuations incorporated in the balance sheet are prudent 
taking into consideration the quality of the underlying assets. 
 
 
Assets available to cover the solvency requirements of FBD Insurance at 30 June 
2009 stood at 50% of net earned premium, the same level as at 31 December 2008. 
With total assets of EUR1,012m and a prudent reserving policy, the underwriting 
business has a strong capital base and considerable balance sheet strength. 
 
 
 
 
OUTLOOK 
 
 
Underwriting 
Ireland is experiencing a period of unprecedented economic decline, the severity 
and duration of which remain uncertain. The Group's underwriting business, by 
its defensive nature, will be cushioned from the worst effects of the current 
economic cycle. 
 
 
Margins currently being achieved and lower investment returns in the Irish 
insurance industry necessitate further hardening of insurance rates to deliver 
an acceptable return on capital. In the absence of further severe weather or 
large claims incidence, the Group's focus on appropriate rating, managing claims 
costs and expense containment will deliver an improved combined ratio in the 
second half of the year.  Now that the realignment of the office network is 
close to conclusion, further opportunities to maximise efficiency will be 
identified and implemented. 
 
 
FBD Insurance will focus on profitable growth, maintaining underwriting 
discipline and constantly evolving its business to reflect customers' needs. The 
Group will continue to implement its plans to increase penetration of key urban 
markets, in particular Dublin. 
 
 
 
 
Non-underwriting 
The property and leisure markets in Ireland and Spain are expected to remain 
difficult throughout 2009 and beyond. Over-supply in the marketplace is the key 
challenge facing the property and leisure businesses, both in Ireland and in 
Spain and market capacity should reduce in the medium term. The Group will 
continue to outperform competitors by focussing on initiatives that will enhance 
revenues and/or reduce costs so as to maintain profitable and cash generative 
businesses through the recessionary period.  In the peak July/August season, 
trading was strong and the Group expects to report operating profits for these 
businesses in the full year. 
 
FBD Brokers, which is ideally placed to benefit from premium rate increases, is 
developing new market segments, while providing enhanced customer value. FBD 
Financial Solutions will continue to provide professional advice to customers 
and to concentrate on the sales of pension and protection products.We anticipate 
that the market for retail investment products will remain weak. 
 
 
 
 
Group 
FBD Group has a strong capital base and balance sheet and a prudent reserving 
strategy. Despite the current difficult environment, the Board is confident that 
FBD will continue to outperform its peers in delivering higher returns for 
shareholders - FBD has the people, plans, infrastructure and financial strength 
to continue to deliver long-term profitable growth, particularly in an 
environment where premium rates are hardening. 
 
 
 
 
    PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES 
Under the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 the Group is 
required to give a description of the principal risks and uncertainties it 
faces. 
 
 
The Board considers that the risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Annual 
Report for the year ended 31 December 2008 continue to reflect the principal 
risks and uncertainties of the Group over the remainder of the financial year. 
In the Annual Report 2008 risk is categorised as general insurance risk, capital 
risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk. 
 
 
Further information on these risks is included in pages 78 to 82 of the Annual 
Report 2008, which quantifies the sensitivity of parameters such as loss ratio, 
equity and property values and exchange and interest rates. There were 
significant market movements in property values over the six months under review 
and the impact has been reflected in the financial statements. The risks and 
uncertainties have not altered and further movement in the parameters 
described above may be experienced in future periods. 
 
 
    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 
 
 
There were no related party transactions in the half year that have materially 
effected the financial position or performance of the Group in the period. 
 
 
    AUDIT REVIEW 
 
 
This half yearly financial report has not been audited or reviewed by the 
auditors of the Group. 
 
 
      FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS 
 
 
Some statements in this announcement are forward-looking. They represent 
expectations for the Group's business, and involve risks and uncertainties. 
These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and 
projections about future events. The Group believes that current expectations 
and assumptions with respect to these forward-looking statements are reasonable. 
However, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other 
factors, which are in some cases beyond the Group's control, actual results or 
performance may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such 
forward-looking statements.

FBD HOLDINGS PLC 
 
 
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
For half year ended 30 June 2009 
 
 
 
 
Note 1 - Accounting policies 
 
 
The annual financial statements of FBD Holdings plc are prepared in accordance 
with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial 
statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in 
accordance with International Accounting Standards 34 'Interim Financial 
Reporting', as adopted by the European Union. 
 
 
The accounting policies used by the Group to prepare the interim financial 
statements for the six month period ended 30 June 2009 are the same as those 
used to prepare the Group Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2008 
(which is available at www.fbdgroup.com), except for brokerage revenue 
recognition mentioned immediately below and the impact of the adoption of the 
Standards and Interpretations described hereafter. 
 
 
In the 2008 Annual Report the revenue recognition accounting policy stated that 
"brokerage revenue is recognised on a cash receipts basis". In practice the 
treatment would more accurately be described as follows: Insurance agency 
commissions, for which no further services are required are recognised as 
revenue on the effective commencement or renewal date. If further services are 
to be rendered the commission, or part of it, is deferred and recognised over 
the period during which the policy is in force. 
 
 
IFRS 8 Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2009). 
Adoption of IFRS 8 has not resulted any change in the Group's reportable 
segments (see note 3) and has no impact on the reported results or financial 
position of the Group. 
 
 
IAS 1 (revised 2007) Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). 
 
 
The revised Standard has introduced a number of terminology changes (including 
revised titles for the condensed financial statements) and has resulted in a 
number of changes in presentation and disclosure. However, the revised Standard 
has had no impact on the reported results or financial position of the Group. 
 
 
The information for the year ended 31 December 2008 does not constitute 
statutory accounts as defined in Section 19 of the Companies (Amendment) Act 
1986. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the 
Register of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was not qualified 
and did not contain any matters to which attention was drawn by way of emphasis. 
 
 
Certain amounts in comparative periods have been reclassified or restated to 
conform with current period presentation or to provide additional information. 
 
 
This half yearly financial report has not been audited or reviewed by the 
auditors of the Group.
