Gjensidige generated a profit after tax of NOK 2,122.4 million in the second
quarter. Excluding the negative impact of NOK 419.3 million or DKK 290 million
related to the Danish Supreme Court ruling, the insurance service result
increased significantly year-on-year, driven by continued revenue growth,
improved margins and strong cost control. The result from Pension and the
financial result from the investment portfolio contributed to an annualised
return on equity of 33.3 per cent. The capital position remains strong.
"I am pleased with the insurance service result this quarter. We continue to
deliver revenue growth, high operational efficiency and cost discipline, while
customer retention remains high," says CEO Geir Holmgren.
During the quarter, new partnerships were established while key agreements were
renewed, broadening Gjensidige's market access and reinforcing positions in
attractive customer segments. New agreements with Tesla and Privatmegleren are
important additions to Gjensidige's partner portfolio.
"We have also entered into a new partnership with Huseierne and renewed our long
-standing partnership with Tekna. These partnerships strengthen our ability to
reach attractive customer groups, create new business opportunities, and support
profitable growth over time," says Holmgren.

Insurance revenue from general insurance increased by 7.3 per cent to NOK
11,257.8 million (10,493.2) in the quarter, or by 9.3 per cent measured in local
currency. The growth was mainly driven by pricing measures across the Private
and Commercial portfolios in both geographies, in addition to higher volumes in
Private Norway. Price increases and volume growth in Sweden also contributed to
a higher insurance revenue for the Group.
The general insurance service result was NOK 2,375.0 million (2,200.5). Adjusted
for the impact from the Danish court ruling described above, the combined ratio
was 75.2 per cent and the insurance service result was NOK 2,794.3 million. The
improvement was driven by revenue growth and lower loss and cost ratios.
Pension
The pension segment recorded a profit before tax adjusted for the contractual
service margin (CSM) of NOK 245.4 million (285.5), reflecting a decrease in the
insurance service result adjusted for CSM, partly offset by higher net finance
income and income from the unit linked business.
Financial result
The financial result for the investment portfolios was NOK 786.4 million
(1,102.0). Net of insurance finance (unwinding and changes in financial
assumptions), the net financial result for the investment portfolio was NOK
374.1 million (699.3).
