(First quarter of 2016 compared with first quarter of 2015)

“Growth for the Länsförsäkringar Alliance remained favorable. The positive trend in premiums for the non-life insurance business continued and we saw growth in most areas. However, higher claims costs and a weaker stock market meant that earnings were weaker than the first quarter of the preceding year. Fire-damage claims at the start of the year were the main reason that claims costs increased and the combined ratio rose to 97. The positive performance of the banking operations continued, with increasing business volumes and strengthened earnings.

During the quarter, we saw further examples of confirmation that our way of offering banking and insurance services is popular among customers. According to the 2016 Sustainable Brand Index survey, Länsförsäkringar is the most sustainable brand in the insurance industry and our bank again topped the 2016 Reputability Barometer”, says Sten Dunér, President Länsförsäkringar AB, the alliance’s jointly owned company.
