As a result of 1st of January being a Public Holiday, we will extend the payment terms and conditions to ensure all premiums are settled by the 15th of January 2020. QUEENSLAND MEALS ON WHEELS Member Services Renewal Report MARSH | JLT 4 MARKET CONDITIONS We have experienced rapidly changing market behaviours over the past 2 years which has, for most insureds, driven rate increases, higher retentions, coverage restrictions, and enforced additional investment in risk mitigation. Below is a market update on the main areas of interest to QMOW Member Services. PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE: The above behaviour is principally due to the insurers incurring consecutive years of underwriting losses resulting from many factors including increased frequency and associated cost of localised natural catastrophe events (i.e. hailstorms, floods and other major weather perils), higher reinsurance and general operating costs and shrinking investment yields. As illustrated in the graph below, the Pacific region’s property insurance pricing on average increased circa 18.3% (continuing the steady pricing increases since 2015), in the second quarter of 2019, the sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year double-digit increases. CAT and non-CAT clients in Australia and New Zealand saw generally double-digit increases, with pricing up 10% to 20% for many clients. (Noting that this is based on increases is applied to ‘clean’/ claims free risks). In addition to high hazard business, real estate, mining, food and beverage, and downstream energy were more challenging in the quarter, with reduced capacity and appetite from major insurers. Following 2017, one of the worst catastrophe loss years on record, most property insurance buyers have experienced rate changes on their renewals in 2018, with coverage remaining broadly consistent with that in prior years. As we continue through 2019, we note that the property insurance marketplace continues to see rate increases, with many markets trying to re-establish underwriting discipline to drive towards profitability. While rates have increased over the past six quarters, most carriers state that current rates on their portfolios are still well below where they need to be to support the exposures they are writing. QUEENSLAND MEALS ON WHEELS Member Services Renewal Report MARSH | JLT 5 Certain industry classes and account characteristics have proven very difficult and may be viewed as having experienced a “hard market” renewal. These include but are not limited to high catastrophe risk accounts, Expanded Polystyrene Australia (“EPS”) risks and the mining sector. EPS risks continue to be viewed unfavourably with several more
