IRB-Brasil Resseguros S.A. ("IRB Re" or "Company") Operating and financial analysis report31 March 31, 2025
Criteria for preparation
The supplementary consolidated financial information contained in this report, except as stated otherwise, is presented according to the Business View standard, based on the technical pronouncement CPC 11 (IFRS 4), and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to the institutions authorized to operate by the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP), according to the material accounting policies described in the Parent Company Financial Statements of the Company as at December 31, 2024. Certain managerial line items of the supplementary consolidated financial information are grouped differently from the accounting records established in such accounting practices adopted in Brazil, mainly in relation to the following:
Reinsurance claims are presented on retained basis, that is, net of the respective recoveries in the managerial line item "Retained Claims";
The portion of expense for retrocession related to ceded premiums is presented in the managerial line item "Retroceded Premiums", and the change in the technical reserves of retrocession premiums is included in the managerial line item "Change in Technical Reserves";
The exchange rate change related to operating movements (premiums, claims and retrocession profit or loss), including the estimated technical reserves (Premium-RVNE, PPNG-RVNE, Commission-RVNE, DCD-RVNR, IBNR, IBNER, and PDR), are included in the managerial line item "Financial Result";
The amounts of technical surplus, profit sharing and commissions related to written and retroceded premiums are included in the managerial line item "Acquisition Costs";
Certain totals are presented in the Managerial Statements of Profit or Loss as they represent the Company's Business View; and
The supplementary financial information is presented on a consolidated basis.
The preparation of supplementary consolidated financial information requires the use of certain accounting estimates and exercise of high level of judgment by the Management in applying certain accounting policies, as described in the material accounting policies of the Parent Company Financial Statements of the Company.
The CVM Resolution 42/2021 requires that beginning on January 1, 2023 the Brazilian public companies comply with the Technical Pronouncement CPC 50, which establishes the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of reinsurance contracts, in line with CPC 50 / IFRS17 issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which superseded CPC 11 / IFRS 4.
The analyses contained in this report are based on the above-described supplementary consolidated financial information and were adjusted to reflect the perspective of the Business View. The reconciliation of the Business View model is included in Section C - Information by operating segment, Explanatory Note 3 to the Parent Company and Consolidated Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to Brazilian publicly held companies.
The ratios presented in the "Key Indicators" section of this report are calculated based on the following criteria:
Retrocession Retroceded Premium / Written Premium
Loss Ratio Retained Claims / Earned Premium
OCR Loss Ratio Retained Claims (OCR) / Earned Premium
IBNR Loss Ratio Retained Claims (IBNR) / Earned Premium
Commission Ratio Acquisition Cost / Earned Premium
Other Income (Expenses) Ratio

Comment on performance - Business View Message from Management
The floods that stroke Rio Grande do Sul, at the end of April and beginning of May 2024, that led to a climate event of epic proportions and devastating impacts on the state, completed one year. This event was decisive to test our protections and underwriting strategy. We came out of it stronger and more confident about the path to follow in 2025.
In this first quarter of 2025, we have renewed an important share of our portfolio, corresponding to approximately 40% of total premiums for the year. We have noted that in this renewal, we are still in the hard market, but there are already signs of stabilization and a slight reduction in rates. We have kept the same underwriting discipline, focused on profitability, with a goal to reach the target combined ratio. Even while maintaining rigor in contract negotiations and achieving a reduction in the priced combined ratio, our renewal rate remained strong at 92%.
In some specific segments, the macro issue has affected the entire sector, such as the Agriculture one. According to IRB+Inteligência's collected data, based on SUSEP data, the Agriculture segment's premium volume that was ceded in reinsurance decreased 16% for 2024, having already dropped 11% for 2023.

1Q24 1Q25
These factors: a less hard market, lower Agriculture premium ceded in reinsurance, and non-renewal of Life premiums, explain the drop in premiums for the 1Q25.
The loss ratio remains controlled. In 1Q25, the volume of retained claims accounted for 66.5% of earned premiums, compared to 58.2% for the 1Q24. This ratio was negatively impacted by a claim in the Property domestic market. Meanwhile, there was a reversal of a reserve of Special Risks (O&G), with a positive impact.
The Company understands that there is room for improvement in administrative expenses and is working on the revision of service contracts, optimizing processes and reducing personnel.
Our finance income has also shown a good performance for the quarter, due to higher interest rates.
For the year 2025, we want to maintain our core business, of domestic P&C, at the same combined ratio level reported for 2024. And our goal is to focus on international P&C, so that it develops like the domestic market. To reach these goals, we have focused on training personnel, improving the team, introducing international practices, and sharing decisions and responsibilities. We have received for the second consecutive year the Great Place to Work certification, which stresses the concern of the senior management to make IRB(Re) an employer capable of attracting market talents to assist it with building and leading new opportunities in the insurance market, fulfilling its purpose of protecting society.

Scenario in the industry Insurance and Reinsurance Market
IRB+Inteligência data shows that business lines with higher volume of incurred claims were also the ones that reported high written premiums: Motor, Life and Property. These figures demonstrate the relevance of the insurance industry in critical moments. However, the market penetration in the Brazilian society is still low, approximately 6% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Many families and businesses ignore the types of insurance protection available or underestimate the risks. As a result, the impacts that could have been mitigated become great difficulties to be faced.
In 2024, the insurance market reported growth in all segments, reaching a revenue of R$ 207.6 billion -- up by 10.2% from 2023. The business lines that represented the largest shares of this increase were Life and Property, accounting for nearly 67% of such progress.
Also in 2024, insurers transferred R$ 26.3 billion to reinsurance, up by 4.4% from 2023, stimulated by greater cessions in the Property (14.1%) and Surety (20.8%) business lines. The Agriculture segment, on the other hand, reduced cession by 18.1% YoY. Among the ceded premiums, 54.5% were transferred to local reinsurers.
The net income of insurers totaled R$ 35.9 billion, down by 4.1% from 2023, reflecting the increase in incurred claims and acquisition costs over the year.

1Q25 Performance analysis ri.irbre.com 13
In the first quarter of the year, written premiums were down by 13% from 1Q24, totaling R$ 1.2 billion. The Company's strategy continues to aim at building a healthy portfolio, prioritizing increase in profitability. In the domestic market, written premiums reached R$857 million, down by 19% from 1Q24, while in the international market we reported a growth of 3%, to R$391 million. The drop in written premiums can be explained by our change in the focus on the Life Segment, where we do not have appetite for renewal of non-profitable contracts, and which premiums reduced by 62% in the domestic market, and the performance in the Agriculture sector that fell 14% in Brazil.

The component of the Changes in Technical Reserves of Premiums is the Unearned Premium Reserve (PPNG), which corresponds to the portion of the premium of risks underwritten by the company to be recognized over the effective period of contracts.
The PPNG is determined for both written premiums and retrocession premiums of the company. The balance between the change in the PPNG - Reinsurance (calculated on written premiums) and the change in PPNG - Retrocession (calculated on retroceded premiums) is the change in Retained PPNG, reported in the line-item Changes in Technical Reserves.

YoY - 1Q25 x 1Q24
1Q24
1Q25
In the first quarter of the year, loss ratio totaled 67%, compared to 58% for the same quarter of the previous year. In this quarter, a large loss was incurred in the Property domestic line, and a smaller one, but also important, in the Special Risks line (Energy). On the international market, there was a reserve reversal related to an Oil & Gas claim in Mexico, which was settled for less than the amount originally reserved.
Loss ratio - Brazil
In nominal terms, retained claims increased 51% to R$445 million for the 1Q25 compared to 1Q24. The loss ratio in Brazil segment stood at 78.8% for 1Q25, compared to 44.7% for 1Q24, as a consequence of the large losses in Property and O&G, besides Life, which is in process of decreasing its portfolio exposure.
Loss ratio - Abroad
The loss ratio abroad stood at 41.8% for 1Q25, lower than the 93.3% ratio for 1Q24. In nominal terms, retained claims amounted to R$117 million, down by 50% from the 1Q24. We noted that the International Property loss ratio improved to 43.5% and Agriculture reported a loss ratio of 7.0%. Special Risks reported a reversal of the reserve that positively impacted the portfolio.

Acquisition costs amounted to R$175 million for 1Q25, a drop of 31% from the 1Q24. The commission ratio stood at 21%, from 28% for the 1Q24. The reduction in acquisition costs is due to the end of a specific contract of the life segment in June 2024, as explained in the previous quarters.
The commission ratio of Life and Non-Life segments shown in the following chart indicates the stability of the Non-Life ratio, while the Life one changes the direction after the cancellation of the contract in the 3Q24.

(R$ in millions)
The underwriting profit amounted to R$103 million for the 1Q25, down by 16% from the 1Q24.
When we analyze the underwriting result by geography, we note that the domestic market result decreased to R$10 million, in view of the large losses that occurred in Property and Special Risks. In the international market, meanwhile, the underwriting changed from a loss of R$47 million to a profit of R$93 million, helped by the reversal of a reserve for Special Risks, as previously mentioned.
General and administrative expenses
Quarterly History(R$
in millions)
Administrative expenses totaled R$97 million, up by 30% from the 1Q24, impacted by the 8% increase in the Personnel line item, which reached R$43 million (of which R$2 million due to terminations related to the Voluntary Termination Program) and the increase from R$25 million to R$46 million in the Other Expenses line item (where we recorded depreciation of the investment under IFRS17 and Digital Transformation, besides the fines amounting to R$5 million related to the subsidiary abroad and the administrative proceedings with the regulatory authority).
The G&A ratio stood at 11.5% for the 1Q25, up by 3.3 p.p. from the 1Q24. Part of these expenses refers to the legacy (administrative expenses related to attorney fees and others, to handle the past issues of the Company).
Measures taken to reduce Administrative Expenses:
Personnel cuts: 23 people accepted the Voluntary Termination Program, which will result in savings with less headcount in 2025;
Negotiation of service contracts;
Revision of processes.

In the first quarter, the Finance Income and Share of Profit of Equity-Accounted Investees amounted to R$210 million, up by 58% from the first quarter of 2024, mainly explained by the exchange rate change, which benefitted income by R$45 million and the result of the onshore investment portfolio of R$145 million, benefitted by the interest rates for the period.
In 1Q25, a portion of the sovereign bonds (Global 26) was sold, resulting in a loss of R$17 million.

Net income
In 1Q25, the Company reported net income of R$119 million, compared to a net income of R$79 million for the 1Q24, a growth of 50%. The good performance was due to the Finance Income and Share of Profit of Equity-Accounted Investees of R$210 million, and the underwriting profit of R$103 million.
Pursuant to the Income Tax Rules, Decree 9,580 of 2018, art. 580, there is no time limit for offsetting tax losses, but a limit to the amount to be offset, equivalent to 30% of the taxable profit for the period.
Dividends
On January 13, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation of all 420,125 common shares issued by the Company and held in treasury. To access the Material Fact notice, click here.
The cancellation of the treasury shares did not affect the Company's capital. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had retained losses of R$ 300 million.
According to IRB(Re)'s by-laws, the calculation of the distribution of mandatory minimum dividend is made based on the profit for the year after deduction for retained losses, provision for income tax and legal reserve. This amount is recorded as a liability in the line-item trade payables, as it represents a legal obligation established in the company's by-laws.
The Company adopts the regulation of the Brazilian Insurance and Reinsurance Regulator (SUSEP), which imposes regulatory liquidity and solvency limits (Refer to Note 21 - Regulatory Ratios in the Notes to the individual and consolidated quarterly financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and December 31, 2024). Thus, the measurement basis for reserve and profit allocation, including mandatory minimum dividend and proposed extraordinary dividends, follows the accounting rules of SUSEP, that is, does not consider the effects of CPC 50 / IFRS 17, which is not yet approved by this regulatory authority.
