Management Board Report on the Company Activities in 2015 Last year, our insurance company successfully built on the development attained in the previous year. Although the entire non-life insurance market grew only slightly and outgoing tourism stagnated in spite of the economic growth, we again achieved doubledigit percentage growth in the premiums written. We have maintained a leading position among insurance companies offering travel insurance on the Czech market, which has not been at all easy in the sharply competitive environment. Our financial results again placed us among the most successful members of our international group of specialised travel insurance companies, something for which our entire team of our associates can rightly take pride. We appreciate that for the ninth time in a row the Association of Czech Insurance Brokers chose us as the Insurance Company of the Year in the specialised insurer category. Furthermore, in the TTG Travel Awards we were selected as the insurance company with the best travel insurance, for the 13th time in a row. We see this award, granted by experts as well as the general public, as a commitment that only strengthens our resolve to maintain the high quality of services we provide. Because the outgoing tourism market again constricted last year, it is very important for us that we were chosen as the travel insurance supplier not only by nine of the ten largest tour operators, but also by hundreds of travel agencies and by airlines. Together, we faced the turbulence in foreign tourism that increasingly reflects the complexities of international political developments. Our profound understanding of the issue and close cooperation with the Association of Czech Travel Agents allowed us hand in hand with Czech Insurance Association to actively influence the adoption of an amendment of the Tourism Act. In spite of numerous obstacles, we successfully ensured that tour operator insolvency insurance would continue in a reasonable scope. Naturally, large tour operators account for the greatest share of our sales. Last year, however, smaller partners accounted for the greatest increase of sales, in particular, travel agents and airline ticket agents. In this segment, the total volume of premiums
8 /
ERV Evropská pojišťovna annual Report 2015
received increased by 19 % from year to year. We are happy that our traditional concept of agent care was successfully adapted to their individual needs. It meant not only a further advance in electronic data exchange technology, but above all, investments into training and vendor support. Direct sales to the private clientele were up by 6 % last year, to which on-line sales contributed the most. Aside from the development of on-line systems, we also invested into a new mobile application that offers clients a fast and smart way to contact the insurance company and, above all, access to instant assistance while abroad. The broadening of the Sbaleno product line before the summer season clearly contributed to increased interest in our individual insurance. In corporate insurance, we achieved record growth of 8 %. Closer cooperation with leading brokerage firms bore fruit. Together, we attracted many new corporate clients. Because this segment is very important for us, we are shifting our services to a new level, especially in terms of the flexibility of our offer of appropriate insurance coverage matching the diverse needs of companies. Overall, ERV Evropská reported gross premium written of CZK 436 million for 2015, which is 15 % more than in 2014. A large part of the turnover is consistently generated by medical expenses insurance, followed by travel cancellation and luggage insurance. The technical result was CZK 41 million, non-technical result reached CZK 12 million.
We insured over 752 tsd. clients in 2015, which is roughly by 13 % more than in 2014. We managed to preserve the average premium on the same level as the year before. The claims development in travel insurance was up last year, primarily due to the 25% increase in claims frequency, even though average claim amount held steady at around CZK 10,000. The importance of coordinating our steps with the international EuroCenter network, which focuses on managing the costs of medical treatment in all major tourist destinations around the world, was confirmed repeatedly. The growth in operating costs corresponded to the increased share of sales through partners receiving high commissions. In combination with a higher collection of premiums, and a significant reduction of the operating costs ratio, we managed to close the year with a very good financial result: a profit of CZK 43 million. Our solvency indicator again significantly exceeded the statutory requirements for our sector.
Our profit confirmed that ERV Evropská’s entire team of 50 employees again did an outstanding job last year. The Management Board would like to take this opportunity to thank them again for their excellent commitment and support for our shared goals. Last year, we managed to grow in spite of the significant growth in previous years. We know very well that maintaining such a trend is difficult, and in 2016, we cannot do without further innovation in services and technologies. Hence, we are planning further changes in our products and do not intend to neglect the most recent trends in terms of digitisation. In doing so, we are glad that we can rely on our company’s sound financial position and on the strong international backing of the ERV Group, ERGO, and Munich Re. Prague, January 2016

The System of Governance is set to ensure a continuous and systematic risk management. The Company is exposed to insurance risk naturally resulting from underwritten insurance contracts as well as to other risks, especially market, credit, operational, liquidity and concentration risk.
The Company is exposed to an insurance risk and a risk arising from underwriting I nsurance Risk insurance contracts within its product portfolio. in Non-life Insurance The insurance risk results from uncertainty relating to a period, frequency and a claims burden covered by insurance contracts. The most significant risk is the one resulting from an insufficient technical reserve as well as the risk arising from a premium volume. The premium volume is arranged upon historical background, which may differ from reality. An assessment of a reserve may be significantly influenced by the risk of trend, risk of estimation, change in background etc. Tests of reserve sufficiency are being used while assessing reserves to eliminate the risk resulting from it. To manage the insurance risk the Company utilizes internal guidelines for product development, internal rules for calculation of technical reserves, and obtains a strategy on reinsurance undertakings.

24 /
ERV Evropská pojišťovna annual Report 2015
Strategy of Reinsurance The Company reinsures some risks arising from insurance contracts to mitigate
a risk of loss and protect its own sources of capital. The reinsurance program of the Company is based upon a combination of reinsurance treaties with external reinsurers and reinsurance treaties with its own parent company. The Company concludes both proportional and disproportional reinsurance treaties to reduce its exposure to risks. To obtain a supplementary protection the Company utilizes facultative reinsurance at some insurance contracts.
Market Risk With respect to the nature of pursued insurance activities, market risk does not represent a significant threat to the operation of the Company and its ability to fulfill its obligations towards its clients. The only field being monitored by the Company is a monetary risk.
Monetary Risk
The Company is exposed to monetary risk through transactions conducted in foreign currencies. Since the Company closes its books in Czech Crowns, any changes in rates of exchange of Czech Crown may have an impact on the financial statement of the Company.
Credit Risk The Company is exposed to credit risk, which results from inability of a counterparty to pay sums due from a debt in full amount. Main areas where the Company is exposed to credit risk are: Reinsurer’s share on insurance liabilities Debt of a reinsurer concerning a settled claim Outstanding premium An outstanding premium is continuously monitored and a methodology of creation of adjustments is described in the article "Adjustments". The Company conducts its own recovery of debt from insurance. Efficiency of this process is regularly controlled.
Operational Risk Operational risk is a risk of a potential loss resulting from missing or insufficient internal processes, human resources and/or systems, or from other reasons, which may arise from either internal or external events. The Company analyses these risks and proposes adjustments of working procedures and processes with the aim to eliminate events incurring loss related to operational risk.
Liquidity Risk The Company is exposed to daily requirements for liquidity resulting from compensation payments. The risk of liquidity is represented by an event when an amount of money necessary to meet obligations is not available for adequate costs at its due date. The need for liquidity is continuously monitored in order to ensure necessary sources. The Company has several disposable sources of financing, and keeps, in accordance with the legislation, a sufficient proportion of financial placements in liquid financial instruments. In 2015 there were no remarkable facts apart from those mentioned in the Notes Other Remarkable Facts to these financial statements.
