The business in health insurance and protection continued to grow (+8.2%) to 3.2 billion euros at 30 June 2023, driven by the health sectors (+5.8%) and collective acceptances (+51.5%).

In savings and pensions, premium income was down (-17.6%) to €1.2 billion at 30 June 2023, in a sluggish market. The rate of Unit-Linked policies in net life insurance inflows remains close to 50%, in line with that of last year.

• • International

Over the first half of 2023, premium income reached €1.5 billion, up +13.3% from 30 June 2022 on a like-for-like basis and with constant exchange rates, benefiting from the strong growth in activity in Romania (+27.8%) and in Hungary (+24.1%).

Property and casualty insurance premium income reached €1.1 billion as at 30 June 2023, up +13.9% from the previous period. This strong growth is driven by motor insurance (+14.6%) which is growing in most countries where the group operates, as well as the good performance of the business and local authority segments (+11.0%), particularly in Hungary, Italy and Romania.

The activity in health and protection increased significantly (+10.1%), benefiting from the growth of the group health (+32.2%) and individual protection (+6.2%) branches. 

Premium income in retirement savings grew strongly (+12.4%), particularly in individual retirement savings (+10.0%), supported by strong growth in unit linked (+25.6%), mitigated by the decline in euros products (-4.5%). This increase was driven by Hungary. Group pensions also increased (+29.5%), mainly in Greece (+36.1%).

 Balance sheet

Group’s IFRS equity amounted to €9.6 billion as at 30 June 2023 compared with €8.8 billion proforma as at 31 December 2022. This rise is linked half to the net income contribution and half to the market environment (exchange rate and revaluation reserve).

The group’s contractual services margin, which represents the deferred future profits of current contracts, calculated on a discounted basis, amounted to 3.8 billion euros at 30 June 2023 and increased by +2.2% compared to 31 December 2022.

At 30 June 2023, the Solvency 2 ratio, without transitional measure on underwriting reserves, was 222%. The increase of +15 points in this ratio compared with the end of 2022 is primarily due to changes in financial market conditions and the net income over the period. The ratio with the transitional measure on underwriting reserves authorised by the ACPR (French insurance and banking regulator), was 287%.

The Group's financial strength was highlighted by Fitch Ratings, which affirmed Groupama's rating to 'A+' with a 'Stable' outlook on 30 May 2023.
