Statement by Group CEO Johan Kirstein Brammer:Q1 was characterised by a high level of weather and large claims, and an increased frequency of motor claims. These events have given us the opportunity to show our customers that we are able to offer them security and help in demanding situations.

Despite a challenging quarter, our earnings diversification remained effective, with a notably strong performance in Sweden balancing out the challenges in our Norwegian market. Hence, initiatives are ongoing in our Norwegian business to support an improved profitability. Despite some headwind, it is positive to see that the Group’s insurance service result shows an improvement of nearly DKK 200 million compared to the same quarter last year, when excluding the high level of weather and large claims.
