Group results
Performance highlights
Growth in business volume of 8.0%
driven mainly
by higher gross premiums written
from the motor business, reflecting more policies sold and a higher average premium per policy, and
from the reinsurance business, due to new opportunities in foreign markets and greater participation in existing contracts
2025 net profit now estimated at
> €105m (vs. plan > €84m),
assuming no major loss events
FY profit outlook sharply raised
Lower finance result: interest expense
on subordinated bonds issued in 2024
Better insurance result: more favourable
claims experience and higher revenue
Net profit of €84.5m
(1-9/2024: €62.1m)
Credit rating reaffirmed

AM Best reaffirmed Sava Re's A ratings, outlook stable
Improved credit rating
June 2025
