Address by the President of the Management Board Dear All, Despite the challenges in the field of investment returns and high expenses due to natural disasters, we can be satisfied with the results of the 2018 business year, at the end of which we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the founding of our Company. With a 6 percent growth in gross premiums written, achieved in all lines of business, we generated EUR 4.5 million of net profit with a combined ratio of 96.2 percent, which is 2 percentage points higher than the year before, due to large losses. Realised returns on investments have dropped significantly, which is also due to the considerable negative exchange rate differences in relation to transactions in Turkey, Russia and India. Capital adequacy remains at a high level and is comparable to that of 2017, which means that the risk profile has not changed significantly - this is also confirmed by the excellent (“A”) credit rating of S&P Global Ratings and A.M.
