PARIS, November 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Attributable net profit for the first nine months up 3.6% to €811 million
CNP Assurances, the leading personal insurer in France with operations in the rest of Europe and in Latin America, has announced its indicators for the first nine months of 2013.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PERIOD
- IFRS premium income up 5.7% to €20.5 billion
- Net revenue up 3.0% to €2,351 million
- EBIT up 4.3% to €1,692 million
- Attributable net profit up 3.6% to €811 million
- First nine-month trends in line with the Group's strategic vision:
- Improving product mix in France
- On-going growth in Latin America
- Nine-month 2013 indicators
On an IFRS basis, premium income for the nine months ended 30 September 2013 stood at €20.5 billion, up 5.7% as reported and 7.3% at comparable scope of consolidation and constant exchange rates (like-for-like). Net new money* amounted to an inflow of €691 million for the period.
In France, premium income saw a decline of 1.8%, stemming mainly from the traditional savings contract segment, where the net outflow* totalled €1,080 million over the period.
Confirming the first-half's positive trend, unit-linked sales rose by 17.8%, led by La Banque Postale. As a result, net new money from unit-linked contracts represented an inflow of €290 million.
In the Personal Risk/Protection segment, which includes death/disability insurance, health insurance and term creditor insurance, premiums ended the period up 3.4%, lifted by the Caisses d'Epargne network.
Revenue in Latin America rose by 7.9% as reported and 22.4% like-for-like to €2.3 billion, reflecting firm expansion in the pensions and term creditor insurance segments in Brazil. Unit-linked business in the region was up 26.1% year-on-year and 41.3% like-for-like.
In the "Europe excluding France" region, premium income included a newly signed €420 million group pension contract. Excluding this factor, the region's underlying premium income surged 50.8% on the upturn in Italy after a historically weak first nine months of 2012, and the 74.6% growth in unit-linked sales in the region.
The new business margin widened to 13.5% in the first nine months of 2013 from 11.6% in full-year 2012, while the annualised value of new business rose by 21% over the same period.
This performance drove a further 2.2% increase in average technical reserves, to €298 billion.
Net insurance revenue stood at €1,784 million for the period, a year-on-year gain of 3.1% as reported and of 8.8% like-for-like.
In France, the 2.6% growth primarily stemmed from the improved product mix and the increase in technical reserves.
In Latin America, net insurance revenue rose by 11.0% as reported and 25.7% like-for-like, led by the sustained growth in business.
Net insurance revenue in the "Europe excluding France" region contracted by 22.3%, primarily due to the fall-off in savings technical reserves in Southern Europe.
Revenues from own funds portfolios rose by 2.8% as reported and by 5.5% like-for-like to €567 million.
* French GAAP
Net revenue for the first nine months of 2013 came to €2,351 million, an increase of 3.0% as reported and of 8.0% like-for-like.
The cost/income ratio improved to 37.0% from 38.2% in the first nine months of 2012.
Administrative expenses were almost unchanged, at €659 million for the period.
At €1,692 million, consolidated EBIT was up 4.3% as reported and 10.1% like-for-like.
Attributable net profit came to €811 million, a gain of 3.6% as reported and of 6.6% like-for-like.
Consolidated equity (excluding minority interests) increased by €338 million or 2.4% to €14,485 million at 30 September 2013.
The Solvency I coverage rate stood at 291%. Excluding unrealised capital gains, the rate was stable at 116%.
