Statement by Group CEO Morten Hübbe:
We deliver a satisfying technical result, which is 14% higher than last year, primarily driven by the inclusion of Alka and a positive development in our core business. Interest rates have been falling further in the last few months meaning that Tryg will have to focus even more on its core insurance business to produce strong financial results.
We continue to see solid organic growth for the Group of 6.8% excluding Alka (including Alka 20.0%) primarily driven by the Private segment. Customer satisfaction is at the highest level and customers renewal of their insurances is record high. Every fourth Dane, or 1.3 million Alka and Tryg customers, have been paid a bonus by TryghedsGruppen equaling to 8% of premiums paid in 2018. Awareness of the bonus has increased especially for non-customers and is 38% higher compared to the same period prior year.
As part of Tryg’s strategic focus on claims prevention we have launched our 10th initiative with the aim of increasing safety in traffic and avoiding accidents. We have therefore launched a so-called mobile-blocker for car drivers, that prevents the driver from mobile web usage and texting while driving.
