Chief Executive Officer's Address to the Annual General Meeting
12(th) May 2021
In the course of his address to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting today, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tomás O'Midheach, will make the following statement on current trading:
"The underwriting performance of our business for 2021 to date has been in line with expectations. While average premium charged has reduced, Motor and Liability claims experience has been benign and no significant weather events have occurred. Equity markets in the year to date have been strong and this has led to a positive investment return through the Income Statement. This has been partially offset by the impact of increases in bond yields through the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income leading to a small positive investment return for the year so far.
The provision we hold for Covid 19 business interruption claims relating to our pub policies remains at EUR65m net of reinsurance. A recent supplementary Court judgement gave additional clarity on costs and the definition of closure. The final determination of the remaining aspects of quantum should be determined following a further Court hearing in July. In the meantime we will continue to progress our claim with reinsurers. In addition we have engaged with the Financial Services & Pensions Ombudsman (FSPO) on complaints that they are in the process of adjudicating.
Gross Written Premium (GWP) has held up well in a very competitive market, for Private Motor in particular. This has been despite the impact of the pandemic on activity and sums insured as well as the continuing payment of premium rebates to Commercial customers. GWP is trending approximately 1% lower than the equivalent period in 2020 excluding the impact of Covid 19 rebates. Policy numbers have remained stable in the year to date, have increased by over 1% in the past year and there has been strong retention of existing customers. Average premium has reduced by 3% overall with Private Motor average premium down by approximately 5%.
FBD continues to rebate premium to businesses which have been closed for the Employers Liability/Public Liability/Business Interruption elements of their cover. In the year to date these rebates have totalled EUR4m and have been offset by a lower frequency of claims.
We are very supportive of the Government's insurance reform agenda to reduce premiums for farmers, businesses and consumers. We particularly welcome the new Judicial Council guidelines for personal injury awards and have been proactive in reflecting their impact in the prices charged to customers.
Overall, we remain confident in the underlying profitability, future growth prospects, capital strength of the business and in our ability to continue to provide excellent service to our customers. "
