Implementation of the Triglav Group’s business plans in 2023
In a challenging year marked by extreme CAT events, changes in the healthcare system and inflation, the Triglav Group achieved earnings before tax of EUR 21.1 million, or 80% less than planned.
Total written premium rose by 12% to EUR 1,653.7 million, exceeding the planned figures, which is slightly above the target of EUR 1.5–1.6 billion. Despite fierce competition, an increase was seen in all insurance markets, with the exception of Croatia, and in all insurance segments. Premium growth was 9% in the Slovenian market, 7% in the other markets of the Adria region and 28% in the international market.
The Group's combined ratio in non-life and health insurance stood at 101.6%. It increased by 1.9 percentage points compared to the previous year, due to the negative effects of changes in supplemental health insurance and a deterioration in the claims ratio.
The credit rating agencies S&P Global Ratings and AM Best re-affirmed the Group's "A" credit rating with a stable medium-term outlook, thereby confirming the Group's strong financial stability, capital adequacy and profitability. Achieving an "A" credit rating ensures an appropriate competitive position of the Group in insurance, reinsurance and financial markets as it confirms its financial strength and sound performance.
Plans of the Triglav Group for 2024
In 2024, the Triglav Group anticipates a moderately favourable macroeconomic situation. Business operations will be influenced by financial market developments, the termination of supplemental health insurance in Slovenia, reinsurance coverage and the development of potential in the markets where the Group operates.
Earnings before tax of EUR 100–120 million are planned, as a result of expected normalisation of business conditions compared to 2023. In the insurance business, the Group plans to operate profitably and record a total business volume of around EUR 1.6 billion, as well as achieve the combined ratio of non-life and health insurance at around 95%. In the health segment, the termination of supplemental health insurance is anticipated, while the development and provision of complementary health insurance products will continue.
Strategic guidelines will be consistently implemented. By continuing its digital transformation and developing service-oriented business ecosystems, the Group will further pursue its main strategic objective – an outstanding and uniform client experience. As the leading insurance and financial group in Slovenia and the Adria region, the Group will further strengthen its market position, while seeking opportunities according to the principle of free movement of services and through partnerships.
It will strive for cost optimisation and effectiveness (productivity gains, automation, digitalisation and centralisation). Priority objectives include effective risk management, maintaining financial stability and preserving high credit ratings from renowned rating agencies. The Company's dividend policy remains unchanged, and every effort will be made for the ZVTG share to remain a profitable, safe and stable investment for investors. The pursuit of the sustainable development strategy, as outlined in the Group's policies and ambitions, will remain a key focus.
