Premiums earned
The actuarial premiums earned that determine the income for the year. In order to determine these, the changes to the unearned premiums, the cancellation provisions and the premium volume not yet written are taken into account, along with the gross premium volume written attributable to the financial year.
Insurance benefits
Total of insurance benefit payments and changes in the claims provision during the financial year in connection with direct insurance and reinsurance contracts (gross). This involves net insurance benefits when reduced by the amount ceded to reinsurance companies. This does not include claims settlement expenses and changes in the provisions for claims settlement expenses.
Operating expenses
This item includes acquisition expenses, portfolio management expenses and the expenses for implementing reinsurance. The operating expenses remain for the company’s own account following deduction of the commissions and profit participation received from the reinsurance business ceded.
Reinsurance
An insurance company insures part of its risk via another insurance company.
Equity method
Investment in associates is accounted for using this method. The value assessed corresponds with the Group’s proportional equity in these companies. In the case of shares in companies that prepare their own consolidated financial statements, their Group equity is assessed accordingly in each case. Within the scope of ongoing valuations, this value must be updated to incorporate proportional changes in equity; it is used to impute the pro rata profit on ordinary activities to the Group results.
Non-controlling interests
Shares in the profit/(loss) that are not attributable to the Group but rather to companies outside the Group that hold shares in affiliated companies.
