Specifically, for Alleanza the Value of New Business is up 9.0% on the 2007 figure (from € 288.9 million to € 314.8 million). This excellent performance derives mainly from an increase in new business volumes (+14.9% in terms of premiums and +11.7% in terms of Annual Premium Equivalent), also supported by an outstanding performance by pension product deposits. Consolidated Net Profit, calculated according to IAS/IFRS international accoun- ting standards, was € 407.8 million, down 4.5% on the previous year. Alleanza’s Net profit for 2008 was € 135.9 million compared to the € 235.9 mil- lion of 2007. The result benefited from recognition of lower capital losses on the securities portfolio of € 363.6 million, due to the effect of the decision to exercise the option offered by Legislative Decree 185/2008, converted to Law no. 2 of 28 January 2009 and enacted by ISVAP Regulation 28/2009. The positive impact on net profits (after reinsurance and tax) was € 176.4 million. The above-men- tioned regulation allows the valuation of short-term securities at the initial entry value in the half-year report as at 30 June 2008 or, for securities not included in the portfolio as at that date, according to their purchase cost. The use of this regime also envisages that a profit amount, corresponding to the difference between values recorded in application of the above-mentioned provisions and the market value as at year-end, must be allocated to a specific unavailable profit reserve net of related tax. Further details of the effects of the transaction will be provided in the report on operations and the notes to the accounts. The € 100.0 million decrease in net profits was due to: ■ stability of the technical balance; ■ increased realised profits on long-term investments of € 62.1 million, mainly due to the effect of capital gains from the sale of part of the investment in Intesa Sanpaolo; ■ increased net income for € 42.0 million; ■ increased extraordinary income of € 15.9 million, deriving mainly from capital gains on disposal of company-owned properties; ■ increased income from investments amounting to € 181.2 million due to: ■ increased interest and other financial income of € 102.2 million; ■ increased net impairment of securities of € 62.9 million, linked to the negative financial market performance; AALLEANZALLEANZA ASSICURAZIONI Statutory Financial Statements 2008 8 Company Offi ces and Head Offi ce Report on Operations Results for the Year Statutory Financial Statements Notes to the Accounts Report by the Board of Auditors Report by the Auditing Company Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting ■ decrease in dividends from group companies, mainly Intesa Vita, Generali Properties and Alleanza Investments of € 69.7 million; ■ decrease in dividends of other associated companies of € 20.7 million; ■ decreased realised capital gains of € 130.1 million; ■ increased operating expenses of € 22.7 million, essentially attributable to the increase in acquisition costs due to higher new business premiums and reduced reinsurers’ commissions; ■ higher taxes of € 15.9 million, due to the change in composition of financial income, with a lower proportion taxed at special rates.
