Economic Report

Overall economic and industry-specific conditions

Economic development

[c. 8; p. 5] Global economic development and US trade policy

• Global economic growth remained at 3.3% YoY in 2025, the weakest value since the Covid year 2020.
• This was influenced by the start of US President Trump's second term and his administration's trade policy, including the "Liberation Day" in April and subsequent policy reversals.

[c. 9; p. 5] German and Eurozone economic performance

• The German economy recorded a 0.2% YoY increase in 2025 after two consecutive recession years.
• Germany's GDP was only 0.1% above its pre-Covid level at the end of 2019.
• Growth in Germany was driven by private and government consumption.
• Declines in construction and equipment investments were not offset by an increase in the defense sector.
• External trade faced headwinds due to trade disputes.
• The special fund for infrastructure announced in March and higher defense spending are expected to have their full effect in the coming years.
• The German economy, similar to France (which experienced political instability and government changes in 2025 due to budget disputes), lagged behind its European peers.
• Eurozone growth accelerated from 0.9% to 1.4% YoY in 2025.
• Excluding Ireland, which saw double-digit GDP growth in 2025 due to sharply rising (pharmaceutical) exports, Eurozone growth would have been only 0.9% YoY.

[c. 10; p. 5] US economic performance

• The US economy grew by 2.2% YoY in 2025 despite uncertainties from the new administration.
• Growth was primarily driven by private consumption, though its momentum cooled compared to H2 2024 due to a weaker labor market, persistent high price pressure (partly from tariffs), and a government shutdown in October/November.
• Only 181,000 new jobs were created in the US labor market in 2025 (prior: 1,459,000).
• The unemployment rate rose slightly from 4.1% to 4.4% over the year, as the labor supply decreased due to anti-migration measures.
• Equipment investments were a growth driver, achieving the strongest increase since 2014 due to the AI boom.
• A significant reduction in the foreign trade deficit, resulting from trade restrictions, also contributed to growth.

[c. 11; p. 5] China and Latin America economic performance

• China's economic growth was 5.0% YoY in 2025, resisting US tariffs (which reached almost 140% at times) and structural weaknesses in domestic consumption and the real estate sector.
• The government's growth target was met for the third consecutive year, partly due to state-supported industries like robotics and electric mobility.
• Latin American economies increased their growth in 2025 despite the challenging international environment, partly due to central bank interest rate cuts (excluding Brazil).
• The growth rate for Latin America was 2.8% YoY, reaching its 2000-2019 average for the first time since the post-Covid rebound.

[c. 12; p. 5] Global inflation and interest rates

• The global economy largely overcame the fiscal policy and energy price-induced inflation shock following the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
• In the Eurozone, inflation decreased from 2.4% to 2.0% YoY in 2025, reaching the European Central Bank (ECB) target, partly due to falling energy prices and a stronger Euro.
• The ECB cut its key interest rate from 3.00% to 2.00% in several steps during H1 2025.
• In the US, inflation also slightly decreased from 2.9% to 2.7% YoY, as the anticipated strong price effects from US tariff barriers did not fully materialize.
• US inflation remained above the Federal Reserve's target, leading the Fed to react cautiously to the weakening labor market by cutting the key interest rate from 4.50% to 3.75%.

Capital markets

[c. 13; p. 5] Global equity market performance 2025

• International equity markets reached new records in 2025, driven by a stable economic environment, falling key interest rates, positive corporate earnings development, and strong performance of technology and AI stocks.
• The US S&P 500 recorded numerous new record highs after a correction following the 'Liberation Day' shock in April.

[c. 13; p. 6]

• The S&P 500 ended 2025 with a price increase of +16.8% (all performance figures in USD), marking its sixth double-digit gain in the last seven years.
• The S&P 500 lagged behind other international markets in 2025, including overall industrial country stocks (MSCI World: +19.9%) and emerging market stocks (MSCI EM: +30.1%).
• Eurozone stocks (EURO STOXX: +37.9%) led the market in 2025, with Germany (DAX: +39.1%) performing particularly well, surpassing the US for the first time since 2022.

[c. 14; p. 6] Bond yields and currency movements 2025

• The yield on 10-year US Treasuries decreased by 0.40 percentage points to 4.17% in 2025, following Fed interest rate cuts, despite political attacks on the Fed's independence and rising national debt.
• The yield on German federal bonds of the same maturity jumped from 2.41% to 2.90% in March 2025 after the announcement of Germany's special fund for infrastructure and increased defense spending.
• The German federal bond yield fell below 2.50% within weeks due to doubts about quick implementation, but ended the year near its annual high at 2.86% (+0.49 percentage points) with the new federal budget and prospect of increased issuance activity.
• The Brent crude oil price fell from USD 75 to USD 61 per barrel in 2025 due to a stronger-than-expected increase in OPEC+ oil supply, with the Israel-Iran conflict causing only a brief rise towards USD 80 per barrel.
• The Euro appreciated significantly against the US Dollar from 1.04 to 1.18 in the first half of 2025, driven by doubts about US debt sustainability and tariff escalation.
• The Euro consolidated slightly below this level in the second half of 2025, against the backdrop of political attacks on the Fed's independence.

German insurance industry

[c. 15; p. 6] German insurance market premium growth

• Insurance market commentary is based on publications from the German Insurance Association (GDV) and includes preliminary data.
• German insurance industry premium income increased by 6.6% to EUR 253.6bn in fiscal year 2025, according to projections.
• Property and casualty insurers are estimated to have achieved premium growth of 7.7% to EUR 99.7bn in 2025.

Legal and regulatory framework

Supervisory requirements

[c. 16; p. 6] Regulatory environment

• Insurance companies (primary and reinsurance companies), pension funds, and capital management companies are subject to comprehensive legal and financial supervision by regulatory authorities worldwide.
• In Germany, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) is responsible for this supervision.
• There are also comprehensive legal requirements for business activities.
• Regulatory frameworks have become stricter in recent years, leading to increased complexity.
• This trend of increasing complexity continued in 2025.

Insurance Distribution Directive

[c. 17; p. 6] Regulatory requirements for insurance distribution

• The distribution of insurance products is subject to extensive legal requirements.
• Primary insurers must comply with legal requirements and the BaFin Circular 11/2018 regarding cooperation with insurance intermediaries and sales risk management when working with intermediaries.
• Product oversight and governance of insurance products are determined by, among other things, the European Commission's Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2358.
• A seven-day waiting period for concluding residual credit agreements for general consumer credit agreements was introduced on January 1, 2025.
• The Accessibility Strengthening Act and its corresponding regulation came into force on June 28, 2025, requiring certain products and services for consumers to be provided accessibly and with accessibility information.
• Services mentioned in the Act include those in electronic commerce, meaning the online sale of insurance products must now comply with applicable accessibility requirements.

Minimum requirements for business organization

[c. 18; p. 6] MaGo implementation

• The revised BaFin Circular 09/2025 (VA) on the official interpretation of the Minimum Requirements for Business Organization of Insurance Undertakings (MaGo) clarifies overarching aspects of business organization and central terms like "proportionality" and "administrative, management, or supervisory body" from the supervisory authority's perspective.
• Despite lacking direct legal binding, MaGo is considered in the HDI Group's business organization, particularly in general governance, key functions, risk management system, capital requirements, internal control system, outsourcing, and emergency management.

[c. 19; p. 7] Anti-money laundering and terrorism financing

• Insurance undertakings, as per Article 13 No. 1 of Directive 2009/138/EC, are obligated under § 2 Para. 1 No. 7 of the Money Laundering Act (GwG) in conjunction with § 6 GwG to implement internal safeguards against money laundering if they conduct life insurance activities under this directive, offer accident insurance with premium refunds, or grant loans as defined in § 1 Para. 1 Sentence 2 No. 2 KWG.
• The company is therefore obligated to comply with the provisions of the GwG and §§ 52 to 55 VAG regarding the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing, and other criminal acts due to its loan granting activities as defined in § 1 Para. 1 Sentence 2 No. 2 KWG.
• The company has established regulations and initiated organizational measures to fulfill these legal obligations.
• An anti-money laundering officer and deputy have been appointed.
• Loan granting is carried out as part of capital investment by Ampega Asset Management GmbH.
• A process has been established for control by the anti-money laundering officer.
• Changes to applicable legal regulations will result from Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 31, 2024, on the prevention of the use of the financial system for money laundering or terrorist financing, which will largely apply from July 10, 2027.
• Drafts for a few Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) are already available, including the practically very important RTS on Customer Due Diligence (CDD).
• Preparations for implementation are underway.

Digitalization

[c. 20; p. 7] Digitalization and regulatory compliance

• Digitalization has gained increasing importance in recent years, leading to a transition to digital, data-based business models.
• Legal questions and challenges related to IT security are becoming more important for HDI Group companies.
• The EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) introduces new requirements for insurance companies, effective January 17, 2025, to strengthen the European financial market against cyber risks and ICT incidents.
• The EU also enacted the Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) in 2024, which affects the insurance industry and will have a concrete impact on the HDI Group.

Data protection

[c. 21; p. 7] Data protection and compliance

Overall assessment of the economic situation

[c. 70; p. 19] HDI Versicherung AG operating performance

• HDI Versicherung AG's operating business was influenced by transformation and restructuring in the past fiscal year.
• The company significantly improved its net technical insurance result before fluctuation reserves.
• Net written premiums for the company saw a slight decline.
• Negative effects from continued claims inflation were overcompensated by a continued decrease in frequency claims.
• An increase in net large loss burden was offset by a decrease in claims expenses for natural catastrophes in motor and property lines due to the absence of cumulative events.
• The company's result after fluctuation reserves increased as planned compared to the previous year.
• This increase was due to positive operational development and a higher withdrawal from fluctuation reserves compared to the previous year.
• The company's net premium volume declined slightly YoY, as expected.
• Premium decline in motor insurance due to portfolio reductions was not fully offset by positive effects from premium adjustments and restructuring measures in corporate lines.
• Net claims expenses were below the previous year's level, as expected.
• This was primarily driven by a decrease in claims expenses for the fiscal year due to lower frequency claims in motor and private lines.
• A decrease in claims expenses for natural catastrophes in motor and property lines due to the absence of cumulative events was offset by an increase in large loss burden.
• Claims settlement declined due to increased expenses for necessary reserve adjustments for large losses from previous years, particularly in corporate and freelance professional lines.
• Expenses for insurance operations decreased YoY due to lower administrative costs, as forecasted.
• This led to a significantly improved technical insurance result, in line with expectations.
• Investment income was significantly below the previous year's level, contrary to expectations.
• This was caused by one-off effects from loss realizations in extraordinary investment income.
• This was offset by an income subsidy in other non-technical insurance income, as HDI Versicherung AG realized investment losses within the group-wide investment strategy, which were compensated by Talanx AG with an income-effective subsidy of EUR 132.7m.
• These developments collectively led to the expected increase in net income.

[c. 71; p. 19] Economic situation assessment

• The economic situation of HDI Versicherung AG is assessed as unchanged and stable at the time of preparing the management report.

Economic conditions

[c. 106; p. 28] Global economic outlook and risks

• Global economic growth slightly cooled in 2025 due to escalating tariff disputes and geopolitical conflicts, but did not collapse.
• Global economic growth is expected to continue this trend in 2026, with a forecast of +2.7% YoY.
• Stable growth is supported by the delayed effect of central bank interest rate cut cycles ending and persistently high or increasing fiscal stimulus.
• The global economy is gradually adapting to the new global trade order, with no expectation of further escalation of US-initiated trade conflicts or a collapse in increased AI investments.
• In the Eurozone, higher fiscal stimulus, particularly increased government investments in infrastructure and defense in Germany, is expected to slightly accelerate growth dynamics during the year.
• Solid purchasing power from lower inflation and stable growth should support private consumption in the Eurozone.
• External trade in the Eurozone faces headwinds from the reorganization of global trade, including weak exports and increasing (cheap) imports from China due to trade diversion away from the US.
• Lower energy prices YoY and a stronger Euro, along with increased imports from China, are expected to contribute to a further decline in the Eurozone's inflation rate.
• US economic growth is expected to stabilize at the previous year's level.
• Consumer restraint in lower and middle-income households in the US, due to labor market weakness and increased prices (partly tariff-related), may be partially offset by wealthy households, but no further acceleration is expected.
• Investments in AI are expected to continue providing tailwinds in the US, though it remains to be seen if announced high investments by large tech companies fully materialize.
• Very expansive fiscal policy, including tax cuts, should also support the US economy.
• A significant increase in the US unemployment rate in 2026 is expected to be avoided by a simultaneously lower labor supply (less migration).
• The US inflation rate is expected to reach its tariff-related peak by mid-year but will exceed the Fed's 2% target for the sixth consecutive year on average.
• Upside risks to the global economic outlook include stronger fiscal support, a potential ceasefire in the Ukraine war, or an AI-driven productivity boost.
• Risks to the global economic outlook are predominantly on the downside.
• Primary downside risks include various geopolitical conflicts (e.g., Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Taiwan, Ukraine) that could lead to significant deterioration.
• Additional risks include potentially unstable government constellations in many countries (e.g., US Midterms, German state elections, France, Japan).
• Political attacks on the Federal Reserve and other institutions in the US pose a significant risk to political and economic stability.
• Increased politicization of the Fed, combined with the sharply increased US national debt, could lead to a serious crisis of confidence with repercussions on international capital markets.
• A potential AI crash is another risk; if confidence in the technology and its potential returns wanes due to immense capital requirements, it could worsen investment activity in the sector and the overall investment climate.
• The sustainability of high government debt outside the US also remains a concern.
• Structural risks such as climate change, demographic development, and de-globalization could increase inflation risk in the medium term and lead central banks to adopt a sustainably more restrictive monetary policy.

Capital markets

[c. 107; p. 28] Central bank interest rates

• The ECB is likely to maintain its deposit rate at 2.00% by the end of 2026, supported by inflation slightly below its 2% target and subdued positive economic momentum.
• The Fed's room for maneuver is limited by persistent US inflation above 2%.
• The US key interest rate is expected to be 3.25% at year-end, following two further interest rate cuts of 0.25 percentage points each, due to a weakening US labor market and political pressure.

[c. 108; p. 29] Bond yields and equity outlook

• The yield on 10-year German government bonds is expected to rise towards 3.00% during the year due to increased issuance activity for additional expenditures.
• The yield on 10-year US Treasuries is expected to be 4.25% at year-end, only slightly above its value at the end of 2025.
• Slight further price gains for equities are anticipated, provided the mentioned risks do not materialize to a greater extent.

Future industry situation

[c. 109; p. 29] macroeconomic environment and growth outlook

• The macroeconomic environment continues to be characterized by significant risk factors and uncertainty in both national and international insurance markets.
• Growth prospects for the national market in the coming years are primarily supported by announced fiscal spending.

German insurance industry

[c. 110; p. 29] German insurance market outlook

• The German insurance market is expected to continue growing in 2026, but with less momentum compared to the strong premium growth of the past fiscal year.

Property and Casualty Insurance

[c. 111; p. 29] German P&C outlook

• For German P&C insurance, slight follow-up effects are expected in 2026 for sum and premium adjustments, driven by cost increases and inflation from recent years.
• Premium income growth is expected to approach the long-term average again.

Opportunities from the development of framework conditions

Digitalization

[c. 112; p. 29] Digitalization and AI strategy

• Digitalization is fundamentally reshaping the insurance industry, impacting business processes and models through digital technologies.
• This development is crucial for the competitiveness of insurance companies, creating new opportunities in customer communication, claims processing, data analysis, and new business development.
• Numerous projects are underway to manage digital transformation, including creating added value through artificial intelligence (AI).
• The Talanx Group has implemented its own generative AI solution, Chat@HDI, and integrated Microsoft Copilot to gain real-time insights from unstructured text or image data to support employees.
• Benefits for customers and employees are already apparent, primarily time savings through optimized processes, while adhering to data protection and compliance regulations.
• This includes the European Union's (EU) Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), which came into force on August 1, 2024, with most regulations to be implemented by August 2, 2026.
• The AI Act aims to regulate the development and use of AI in the EU, protect fundamental rights of individuals and groups, build trust in the technology, and foster innovation through clear guidelines.
• If digitalization projects are implemented faster and adopted by customers more quickly than currently expected, it could positively impact premium development and earnings, potentially leading to exceeding forecasts.

Knowledge management

[c. 113; p. 29] Knowledge and innovation management

• Knowledge and innovation management are increasingly important in the insurance industry.
• The Talanx Group established a Best Practice Lab to promote targeted knowledge and innovation exchange.
• Experts exchange ideas in Excellence Teams on an international level regarding specialized topics and jointly develop new solutions.
• Topics for new solutions include pricing, sales, marketing, claims, fraud management, customer service centers, and digitalization.
• Results and solutions from the Best Practice Lab are provided to Talanx Group companies to continuously improve their processes and methods.
• Faster generation and implementation of new solutions and ideas through the Best Practice Lab could positively impact premium development and earnings, potentially leading to exceeding forecasts.

Agility

[c. 114; p. 29] Agile organization strategy and benefits

• The globalized world in the information age is characterized by increasing speed of change, volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA).
• To keep pace with the speed of change, HDI Versicherung is transitioning to an agile organization.
• Being an agile organization means being a learning organization focused on customer benefit to increase company profit.
• HDI Versicherung employs interdisciplinary and creative teams, open and direct communication, flat hierarchies, and a culture that embraces mistakes.
• Initiatives support the transition to an agile organization by designing workplaces to shorten communication paths and promote cross-departmental exchange.
• Hybrid work allows employees to work remotely up to 60% of the time, improving work-life balance while maintaining direct colleague interaction.
• Agility offers opportunities for customers, employees, and investors.
• Customers benefit from new insurance solutions tailored to their needs.
• Employees gain more design options and growth opportunities through agile work.
• Investors benefit from increased company profit when customers are satisfied and employees reach their full potential.

[c. 114; p. 30]

• Faster-than-expected implementation of the agile transformation could positively impact earnings and lead to exceeding forecasts.

Development of HDI Versicherung AG

[c. 115; p. 30] Financial stability and 2026 outlook

• For corporate lines, the portfolio review in commercial customer business and the reduction of loss-making portfolios will continue.
• A moderate decrease in premium volume is expected for fiscal year 2026.
• A slight decrease in expenses for insurance claims is also expected, despite an anticipated normalization of natural catastrophe claims in the coming year.
• A moderate decrease in insurance operating expenses is projected, following continued cost discipline.
• Overall, a slight decrease in the underwriting result after fluctuation provision is expected for fiscal year 2026.

[c. 116; p. 30] Investment and non-underwriting results outlook

• A significant increase in investment income is expected, driven by rising extraordinary investment income after loss realizations in the current reporting year.
• The non-underwriting result is expected to decline slightly overall.
• The net income for the coming year is expected to be slightly below the previous year's result.

Assets

[c. 129; p. 38] Intangible assets and investments valuation

• Intangible assets are capitalized at acquisition cost less linear depreciation over an estimated useful life of five years.
• Self-created intangible assets of fixed assets are not capitalized per § 248 Abs. 2 Satz 1 HGB.
• Shares in affiliated companies and participations are valued at acquisition cost, reduced by any write-downs according to the mitigated lower of cost or market principle (§ 341b Abs. 1 Satz 2 HGB in conjunction with § 253 Abs. 1 Satz 1, Abs. 3 Satz 5 HGB).
• Loans to affiliated companies and companies with which an equity relationship exists are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method per § 341c Abs. 3 HGB.
• Capital investments are recognized at the purchase price upon acquisition.
• The difference to the repayment amount is amortized using the effective interest method.
• Necessary write-downs are made according to the mitigated lower of cost or market principle.

• The principle of value recovery is observed (§ 341b Abs. 2 HGB in conjunction with §§ 255 Abs. 1 and 253 Abs. 1 Satz 1, Abs. 4 and Abs. 5 HGB).
• Securities intended to serve the business permanently are valued according to the mitigated lower of cost or market principle, following the regulations for fixed assets (§ 341b Abs. 2 zweiter Halbsatz HGB in conjunction with § 253 Abs. 1 Satz 1, Abs. 3 Satz 5 HGB).
• Permanent impairments are written off through profit or loss.
• To assess permanent impairment for bearer bonds, other fixed-interest securities, and debt instruments held through funds (recognized as fixed assets), credit checks of issuers and rating developments are considered.
• For publicly traded shares, the criteria recommended by the IDW Insurance Expert Committee are used to determine permanent impairment.
• A permanent impairment may exist if the fair value of a security has been consistently more than 20% below its book value for the six months preceding the balance sheet date, or if the average daily stock price over the last 12 months is more than 10% below the book value.
• The assessment of the probable permanence of an impairment for units or shares in investment funds with an unrealized loss on the investment unit at the balance sheet date is based on the assets held in the fund (look-through-approach).

[c. 130; p. 39] Securities and loans valuation

• For securities acquired above or below par, the difference is amortized over the term using the effective interest method.
• Registered bonds, promissory note receivables, and loans are recognized at amortized cost (§ 341c Abs. 3 HGB).

• These structured products are recognized and valued according to the balance sheet item in which they are classified.
• Structured products in the portfolio are financial instruments where a fixed-income cash instrument is contractually combined with one or more derivatives.
• If the conditions of IDW RS HFA 22 are met, these are uniformly recognized at amortized cost according to the regulations for capital investments recognized as fixed assets, using the mitigated lower of cost or market principle (§ 341b Abs. 1 Satz 2 HGB in conjunction with § 253 Abs. 3 Satz 5 HGB).

[c. 131; p. 39] Asset revaluation and receivables

• In accordance with the value recovery principle (§ 253 Abs. 5 Satz 1 HGB), write-ups are made to assets that were written down in previous years, up to the amortized cost or a lower market or stock exchange value, if the reasons for the permanent impairment have ceased to exist and a recovery in value has occurred.
• Receivables from direct insurance business are recognized at nominal amounts.
• The general valuation allowance for receivables from policyholders is determined for the reporting year based on historical experience (past defaults).
• A general rate of 1% is applied for receivables from intermediaries.
• Settlement receivables and other receivables are capitalized at nominal amounts.
• Due to the cost cut-off before the balance sheet date, cost bookings incurred after the cut-off date are recorded under other receivables.
• This position is offset by cost estimates for the period between the cost cut-off and the balance sheet date, which are shown in other provisions.

[c. 132; p. 39] Cash and accruals

• Current balances with credit institutions, checks, and cash on hand are recognized at nominal value.
• Items to be included in active accruals are recognized at nominal value.

Liabilities

[c. 133; p. 40] Equity and Reinsurance Accounting

• Subscribed capital, capital reserves, and retained earnings in equity are recognized at nominal value.
• Reinsurers' contractual shares of relevant gross positions are determined and booked for material reinsurance contracts as of the current reporting date.
• For selected reinsurance contracts, a one-month time lag relative to gross positions is applied, with separate estimated bookings for material movements (e.g., major claims) made and considered up to the current reporting date.

[c. 134; p. 40] Premium and Claims Reserves

• Unearned premiums are calculated for directly written business using the 1/360 system or on a daily pro rata temporis basis, in accordance with supervisory regulations and the letter from the Federal Minister of Finance dated April 30, 1974.
• Reinsured portions are accrued in line with contractual agreements.
• The premium reserve for lifetime household insurance policies is calculated using the prospective method, adhering to § 341f HGB and the legal ordinance issued under § 65 Abs. 1 VAG, on an individual contract basis and considering future costs.
• The technical interest rate valid at the time of contract inception is used.
• The reserve for outstanding claims in directly written business is determined individually for each claim.
• For participation business, data from leading insurance companies is adopted.
• If data from leading insurers was not available by the balance sheet date, reserves per business relationship are estimated based on past experience.
• Group valuation is used for small outstanding claims in motor liability, comprehensive, and partial comprehensive insurance.
• A late claims reserve is calculated for claims not yet reported by the balance sheet date, based on historical data.
• The number of expected late claims and the average expected claim amount are determined actuarially.
• For long-tail lines where the standard method is unsuitable, the HGB late claims reserve is derived from the actuarially determined IFRS reserve, including a surcharge.
• If current information is available in individual cases, an appropriate amount is reserved based on that information.
• The pension reserve calculated according to § 65 VAG and the reserve for expected settlement expenses are also reported.
• The reserve for settlement costs comprises external and internal costs.
• The external claims settlement cost reserve is formed specifically for each individual claim.
• The internal settlement cost reserve is determined using a factor-based approximation method.
• This method uses paid claims as a volume measure for incurred costs and determines future internal settlement cost reserves as a percentage of current claims reserves for compensation.
• The percentage/factor is calculated as the average of historical observation years.
• A reduction of the determined factor is applied based on line-specific experience, assuming that part of the claims settlement for known claims has already been performed.

[c. 135; p. 40] Pension and Other Technical Reserves

• The pension reserve (gross) included in the reserve for outstanding claims is calculated based on actuarial principles.
• The calculation uses the German Actuarial Association (DAV) 2006 HUR mortality tables for women and men.
• The technical interest rate is set as the minimum of the originally valid maximum technical interest rate and the reference interest rate, according to § 5 Abs. 4 of the Reserve Ordinance.
• Technical interest rates for pension obligations:

[c. 135; p. 41]

• • before 2015: 1.57%
  • 2015 to 2016: 1.25%
  • 2017 to 2021: 0.90%
  • 2022 to 2024: 0.25%
  • 2025: 1.00%
• Claims from recourse, recoveries, and sharing agreements for already settled claims are treated as deductions within the claims reserve.
• The formation of the reserve for premium refunds complies with contractual provisions.
• The calculation of the fluctuation reserve follows the regulations of § 29 and the appendix to § 29 RechVersV, as well as the Insurance Reporting Ordinance (BerVersV).
• Other technical provisions are determined as follows:
  • The lapse reserve is calculated by determining an average lapse rate for the last three years and multiplying it by the current year's premiums.
  • The reserve for obligations arising from membership in Verkehrsopferhilfe e.V. is formed according to the association's notification.
  • The reserve for impending losses from directly written or reinsured insurance business, reported under other technical provisions according to § 31 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 RechVersV, is formed as a negative balance between expected income for contracts with a legal obligation at the balance sheet date and expected expenses.
  • Income includes expected premiums and interest effects thereon.
  • Expenses include claims expenses and administrative costs.
  • Expense items are derived from past data and adjusted if the forecast of future development would be distorted by effects from previous claims years.
• For technical provisions from reinsured business, the reserves reported by the primary insurers are generally recognized, unless better internal information is available.
• If information is not available at the time of balance sheet preparation, claims reserves are estimated based on the previous year's data.
• Pension obligations are recognized at the fulfillment amount deemed necessary based on reasonable judgment, according to § 253 Abs. 1 Satz 2 HGB.
• These obligations are discounted according to § 253 Abs. 2 Satz 2 HGB using the average interest rate over the last ten years, published by the Bundesbank according to the Reserve Discounting Ordinance (RückAbzinsV) as of September 30, 2025, and projected for December 31, 2025, with an assumed remaining term of 15 years.
• The principles of IDW RH FAB 1.021 apply to the valuation of reserves for reinsured direct commitments.
• Pension provisions for unfunded employer-financed commitments are determined using the projected unit credit method.
• Pension provisions for non-securities-linked employee-financed commitments are determined using the projected unit credit method, unless benefits are covered by reinsurance.
• For reinsured benefits, the fulfillment amount corresponds to the fair value of the coverage capital of the life insurance contract plus profit participation.

[c. 136; p. 42] Pension Valuation Assumptions and Other Liabilities

• The valuation is based on the HEUBECK-RICHTTAFELN 2018 G withdrawal probabilities, which have been strengthened in line with the risk profile observed in the portfolio.
• Other assumptions for the calculation include:
  • Salary dynamics: 3.25% (prior: 3.50%)
  • Pension dynamics: 2.08% (prior: 2.14%)
  • Interest rate: 2.06% (prior: 1.90%)
• The total expected return required for the valuation of reinsured direct commitments ranges from 3.30% to 3.60%, depending on the life insurer.
• The considered fluctuation corresponds to company-specific probabilities diversified by age and gender.
• Securities-linked employee-financed commitments exclusively consist of benefit-congruent reinsured pension commitments, which must be valued according to IDW RS HFA 30 Rz. 74 in conjunction with § 253 Abs. 1 Satz 3 HGB.
• For these commitments, the fulfillment amount is at least the fair value of the coverage capital of the life insurance contract plus profit participation.
• Other provisions are recognized at their probable necessary fulfillment amount based on prudent commercial judgment.
• If expected maturities exceed one year, these provisions are discounted according to § 253 Abs. 2 Satz 1 HGB using the average interest rate (reporting date interest rate as of December 31, 2025) over the last seven years, published by the Bundesbank according to the Reserve Discounting Ordinance (RückAbzinsV).
• Other liabilities are recognized at their fulfillment amounts.
• Deferred income is reported under passive deferred items for income received before the balance sheet date that represents earnings for a specific period thereafter.
• Foreign currency positions are converted at the balance sheet date using the spot rate (foreign exchange mid-rate) for balance sheet items and the average rate for profit and loss statement items.
• For monthly foreign currency valuation, inventory positions are converted at the respective spot rate at the end of the month.
• The conversion rate for the monthly valuation of profit and loss statement items is the respective closing rate of the previous month.
• These positions are valued using a rolling procedure.
• The addition of the converted individual values effectively results in a conversion using average rates.
• To improve the clarity of the financial statements, the balance sheet, income statement, and notes are prepared in thousands of Euros.
• Individual items, subtotals, and totals are commercially rounded.
• The sum of individual values may therefore differ from subtotals and totals due to rounding differences.

Determination of fair values of investments

[c. 139; p. 46] Valuation of investments in affiliated companies and participations

• The fair value of shares in affiliated companies and participations is determined differently based on the company's purpose and size.
• Companies valued using the earnings value method are typically assessed at the present value of future distributable financial surpluses (earnings value).
• For companies that subscribe to equity instruments not traded on the capital market (investment vehicles for Private Equity, Real Estate funds, and other alternative investments), valuation is analogous to directly held comparable instruments using the Net Asset Value method.
• The fair values of loans to affiliated companies and companies with participation relationships, registered bonds, promissory note receivables, and loans are determined using a present value method with product- and rating-specific yield curves.
• Special features such as deposit insurance, guarantor liability, or subordination are considered in the spread surcharges used.

[c. 140; p. 46] Valuation of other investments

• The fair value of other investments is generally determined based on the over-the-counter value according to § 56 RechVersV.
• For investments with a market or stock exchange price (shares, units or shares in investment funds, bearer bonds, and other fixed-income securities), the fair value is the value on the balance sheet date or the last preceding day for which a market or stock exchange price was ascertainable.
• In cases where no stock exchange listings are available, yield curves based on pricing procedures established in financial markets are used.
• Investments are valued at most at their expected realizable value, considering the principle of prudence.
• The fair values of special funds held in the portfolio correspond to the determined redemption price.
• The fair value of publicly traded shares and equity funds accounted for as fixed assets is determined using the EPS (earnings per share) method, an earnings value method per share based on annual earnings expectations estimated by independent analysts or the higher market values.
• If the EPS value exceeds 120% of the market value, it is capped at 120%.
• For fixed-income securities held via special funds and accounted for as fixed assets, the bonds are recognized at amortized cost, provided there are no indications of an expected permanent impairment.
• The creditworthiness of the issuer and the development of ratings are used for this assessment.
• For default titles and titles whose market value is less than 50% of the nominal value, the lower market value is generally used.
• The fair value of Private Equity, Infrastructure, and Real Estate funds held in the portfolio is determined based on the last Net Asset Value (Capital Account) reported by the General Partner, which is updated to the reporting date for interim calls and distributions.
• For determining the fair value of swaps, the Discounted Cash Flow method is applied separately for both legs of a swap.
• For the fixed-rate leg, the entire cash flow is rolled out until maturity, and for the variable-rate leg, the cash flow is rolled out until the next interest rate adjustment date.
• The sum of the present values (considering the sign for the long/short position) results in the theoretical price or the current asset and liability position of the entire swap transaction.

[c. 141; p. 47] Investments with hidden liabilities and impairments

• For the following investments accounted for at acquisition cost, the fair values are below the book values:
  • Shares in affiliated companies: Book value EUR 9,416k; Fair value EUR 7,743k; Balance -EUR 1,673k.
  • Loans to affiliated companies: Book value EUR 104,696k; Fair value EUR 99,516k; Balance -EUR 5,180k.
  • Loans to companies with participation relationships: Book value EUR 3,471k; Fair value EUR 3,171k; Balance -EUR 300k.
  • Units or shares in investment funds: Book value EUR 159,472k; Fair value EUR 144,298k; Balance -EUR 15,175k.
  • Bearer bonds and other fixed-income securities: Book value EUR 1,335,690k; Fair value EUR 1,315,553k; Balance -EUR 20,137k.
  • Other loans to companies with participation relationships: Book value EUR 451,127k; Fair value EUR 436,112k; Balance -EUR 15,015k.
  • Total: Book value EUR 2,063,873k; Fair value EUR 2,006,393k; Balance -EUR 57,480k.
• Depreciation of EUR 35,313k (prior year: EUR 111,638k) was avoided for investments accounted for as fixed assets, applying § 341b para. 2 HGB.
• These are considered temporary impairments.
• To assess the existence of a permanent impairment for fixed-income securities, creditworthiness checks of issuers and rating developments are used.
• These hidden liabilities were not written off extraordinarily according to § 253 para. 3 sentence 5 HGB, as they are essentially interest-induced and thus not considered permanent.
• Due to the creditworthiness of the issuers, payment defaults are not expected.
• For determining the existence of an expected permanent impairment of units or shares in investment funds, the criteria recommended by the Insurance Expert Committee of the IDW are used.
• A permanent impairment may exist if the fair value of a security has been permanently more than 20% below the book value in the six months preceding the balance sheet date, or if the average daily stock exchange price in the last 12 months is more than 10% below the book value.
• If the necessary information for a look-through approach is available, the assessment of the expected permanence of an impairment for units or shares in investment funds with a hidden liability at the balance sheet date is based on the assets held in the fund.
• Depreciation on investments includes extraordinary depreciation according to § 277 para. 3 sentence 1 HGB of EUR 11,492k (prior year: EUR 794k).

• In such cases, unscheduled write-downs to the lower fair value are only made for permanent impairments (mitigated lower-of-cost-or-market principle), and only temporary impairments are carried forward as hidden burdens to subsequent years.
• Classification as serving permanent business operations requires an intention and ability to hold these investments permanently.
• Market prices are used to determine fair value or current value where available.
• For investments not valued based on market prices (e.g., shares in affiliated companies, alternative investment funds, registered bonds, promissory note receivables, and loans), there is an increased valuation risk due to the need for model calculations.
• Management's discretionary decisions, estimates, and assumptions, including the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors (such as interest rate developments), are required for investment valuation.
• Minor changes in these assumptions and methods can significantly impact investment valuation.
• The valuation of investments was particularly important due to their material significance for the company's financial position and earnings, the extent of hidden burdens carried forward under the mitigated lower-of-cost-or-market principle, and the estimation uncertainties associated with management's discretion.
• The audit assessed the models used by the company and the assumptions made by management, utilizing internal specialists for investments, valuation expertise, and industry knowledge.
• The audit evaluated the design and effectiveness of the company's controls for investment valuation and recording investment results.
• Individual audit procedures were performed on investment valuation, including assessing management's estimates regarding the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors (including interest rate developments).
• The audit also verified the underlying valuations and their recoverability based on provided documents and checked the consistent application of valuation methods and period allocation [p.64, p.65].

[c. 207; p. 65]

• For hidden burdens, the audit assessed whether the conditions for the intention and ability to hold permanently were met and if existing impairments were not permanent.
• Valuation reports (including applied parameters and assumptions) for significant shares in affiliated companies were also assessed.
• Based on audit procedures, management's assessments and assumptions for investment valuation were found to be justified and sufficiently documented.
• Information on investments is provided in the "Accounting and Valuation Methods" section and the notes to "Balance Sheet - Assets" in the appendix.

❷ Valuation of loss reserves

[c. 208; p. 65] Technical provisions valuation

• Technical provisions (Schadenrückstellungen) of EUR 3,261,447k are reported under the balance sheet item 'Provision for outstanding claims' in the company's financial statements, representing 78.5% of the balance sheet total.
• Insurance companies must form technical provisions to the extent necessary, based on sound commercial judgment, to ensure the continuous fulfillment of obligations from insurance contracts.
• Determining assumptions for valuing technical provisions requires management to consider commercial and regulatory requirements, assess future events, and apply suitable valuation methods.
• This includes the expected impact of increased inflation rates on the formation of claims provisions in affected segments.
• The methods and calculation parameters used to determine the amount of claims provisions are based on management's discretionary decisions and assumptions.
• Minor changes to these assumptions and methods can significantly impact the valuation of claims provisions.
• The valuation of claims provisions was particularly important for the audit due to their material significance for the company's financial position and earnings, as well as the considerable discretion of management and associated estimation uncertainties.
• The audit assessed the methods used by the company and the assumptions made by management, considering industry knowledge, experience, and recognized methods.
• The audit also evaluated the design and effectiveness of the company's controls for determining and recording claims provisions.
• Further analytical and individual case audit procedures were performed regarding the valuation of claims provisions.
• Data underlying the calculation of the fulfillment amount was reconciled with basic documents.
• The calculated results for the amount of provisions were verified against applicable legal regulations, and the consistent application of valuation methods and period delimitations were checked.
• Management's assessment of increased inflation rates on affected segments was also evaluated.
• Based on audit procedures, the assessments and assumptions made by management for the valuation of claims provisions were found to be justified and sufficiently documented.

[c. 208; p. 66]

• Information on the company's claims provisions is included in the 'Accounting and Valuation Methods' section of the notes.

Other information

[c. 209; p. 66] Auditor responsibility for other information

• The legal representatives are responsible for the other information.
• Other information includes the business report (excluding further cross-references to external information), with the exception of the audited annual financial statements, the audited management report, and the auditor's confirmation.
• The auditor's audit opinions on the annual financial statements and the management report do not extend to the other information, and accordingly, the auditor does not express an audit opinion or any other form of audit conclusion on it.
• In connection with the audit, the auditor has the responsibility to read the aforementioned other information and to assess whether it contains material inconsistencies with the annual financial statements, the content-audited management report disclosures, or the knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibility of the legal representatives and the Supervisory Board for the financial statements and the management report

[c. 210; p. 66] Responsibilities for financial statements and management report

• The legal representatives are responsible for internal controls deemed necessary to enable the preparation of annual financial statements free from material misstatements due to fraud or error.

• The legal representatives are responsible for the arrangements and measures (systems) deemed necessary to enable the preparation of a management report in accordance with applicable German legal requirements and to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the statements in the management report.
• The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the company's accounting process for the preparation of the annual financial statements and the management report.

[c. 211; p. 67] Periodenabgrenzung überprüft. Hinsichtlich der Beurteilung vorhandener stiller Lasten haben wir gewürdigt, inwieVerantwortung des Abschlussprüfers für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses und des Lageberichts

• The auditor's objective is to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error, and that the management report provides a true and fair view of the company's situation, complies with German legal requirements, and accurately presents future development opportunities and risks.
• Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with § 317 HGB and the EU-APrVO, observing German auditing principles established by the IDW, will always detect a material misstatement.
• Misstatements can result from fraudulent acts or errors and are considered material if they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users based on the financial statements and management report.
• The auditor assessed the valuation reports (including parameters and assumptions) for significant investments in affiliated companies.
• The auditor confirmed that management's assessments and assumptions for valuing investments are justified and sufficiently documented.
• Information on the company's investments is in the "Accounting and Valuation Methods" section and the "Balance Sheet - Assets" notes of the appendix.
• The financial statements include technical provisions for outstanding claims (Schadenrückstellungen) of EUR 3,261,447m, representing 78.5% of the balance sheet total.
• Insurance companies must form technical provisions as necessary, based on sound commercial judgment, to ensure the long-term fulfillment of obligations from insurance contracts.
• Determining assumptions for valuing technical provisions requires management to consider commercial and regulatory requirements, assess future events, and apply appropriate valuation methods.
• This includes the expected impact of increased inflation rates on the formation of claims provisions in affected segments.
• The methods and calculation parameters used to determine claims provisions are based on management's discretionary decisions and assumptions.
• Minor changes to these assumptions and methods can have a material impact on the valuation of claims provisions.
• The valuation of claims provisions was particularly important due to their material significance for the company's financial position and earnings, as well as the considerable discretion of management and associated estimation uncertainties.
• The auditor identifies and assesses risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and management report due to fraud or error, plans and performs audit procedures in response to these risks, and obtains sufficient and appropriate audit evidence.
• The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than from error, as fraud can involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misleading representations, or overriding internal controls.
• The auditor obtains an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit of the financial statements and arrangements/measures relevant to the audit of the management report, to plan appropriate audit procedures, but not to express an opinion on their effectiveness.
• The auditor, with internal valuation specialists, assessed the methods and assumptions used by the company for claims provisions, considering industry knowledge and recognized methods.
• The auditor evaluated the design and effectiveness of the company's controls for determining and recording claims provisions.
• Further analytical and individual case audit procedures were performed on the valuation of claims provisions.
• The data underlying the calculation of the fulfillment amount was reconciled with basic documents.
• The auditor verified the company's calculated results for the amount of provisions against applicable legal regulations and checked the consistent application of valuation methods and period cut-offs.
• Management's assessment of increased inflation rates on affected segments was also evaluated.
• Based on audit procedures, the auditor confirmed that management's assessments and assumptions for valuing claims provisions are justified and sufficiently documented.
• The auditor assesses the appropriateness of accounting methods applied by management and the reasonableness of estimated values and related disclosures.
• The auditor draws conclusions on the appropriateness of management's going concern assumption and whether there is material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
• If material uncertainty exists, the auditor is required to draw attention to related disclosures in the financial statements and management report or modify the audit opinion if disclosures are inappropriate.
• Conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the audit opinion; future events or conditions may cause the company to cease operations.
• The auditor assesses the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including disclosures, and whether they present a true and fair view of the company's assets, financial position, and results of operations in accordance with German generally accepted accounting principles.

[c. 211; p. 68]

• The auditor assesses the consistency of the management report with the financial statements, its legal compliance, and the picture it conveys of the company's situation.
• Audit procedures are performed on the forward-looking statements presented by management in the management report.
• Based on sufficient appropriate audit evidence, the auditor verifies the significant assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements and assesses their appropriate derivation from these assumptions.
• The auditor does not express a separate audit opinion on the forward-looking statements or their underlying assumptions.
• There is a significant unavoidable risk that future events may differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
• The auditor discusses with those charged with governance the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, including any material deficiencies in internal controls identified during the audit.
• The auditor provides a declaration to those charged with governance that relevant independence requirements have been met and discusses all relationships and other matters that could reasonably be thought to bear on independence, and, where applicable, actions taken or safeguards applied to eliminate threats to independence.
• From the matters discussed with those charged with governance, the auditor determines those that were most significant in the audit of the financial statements for the current reporting period and are therefore the key audit matters.
• These matters are described in the audit opinion, unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure.
