“After nine months, the Länsförsäkringar AB Group can report a 25% improvement in profit compared with the first nine months of 2015. Operating profit amounted to slightly more than SEK 1.7 billion. The strong earnings improvement was primarily driven by profit in the Bank Group. Growth and the customer inflow for the bank is continuing, with sustained high credit quality and a well-diversified geographic spread. During the period, our share of market growth in household lending was greater than our market share.
The stock market generally recovered relatively quickly following initial market unrest in the wake of the Brexit vote. This contributed to a favourable trend in managed assets during the quarter in unit-linked insurance, even though the earnings trend was slightly weaker year-on-year. In the non-life insurance business, health care insurance performed better year on-year due to lower claims costs. Agria is continuing to contribute a healthy volume trend and strong earnings. Since May, when the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority approved our application to use a partial internal model to calculate Solvency II capital requirements, we have continued to work on a model that accurately reflects our business model and our actual risk profile.
Another great achievement is that we continued to top reputation and customer satisfaction surveys. We have Sweden’s most satisfied retail bank customers for the third consecutive year according to the Swedish Quality Index,” says Sten Dunér, President Länsförsäkringar AB.
