Element EXPLAINATION
Reasons of increase (decrease) for the quarter compared with same quarter last year The improvement in results for the three month period ended 30th June 2014 versus the same period of 2013, was due mainly to strong business growth resulting in a higher net earned premium, and combined with an improved, lower, claims experience, resulting in a significantly higher net underwriting result. The net underwriting result gains were partially offset by increased growth related operational expenses, such as commissions and levies. Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased by SR501,250K, an increase of 57%, and the net underwriting result for the three month period ended 30 June 2014, versus the same period of 2013, improved by SR89,016K, an increase of 102%. The improvement in the net earned premium by SR401,208K, represented an increase of 67%, versus the same period of 2013.
Reasons of increase (decrease) for the period compared with same period last year The improvement in results for the 6 months ended 30th June 2014, versus the same period of 2013, was due mainly to strong business growth resulting in a higher net earned premium, and combined with an improved, lower, claims experience, resulting in a significantly higher net underwriting result. The net underwriting result improved by SR133,021K versus the same period of previous year, representing a 85% increase. Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased by SR1,097,844K, versus the same period of 2013, representing an increase of 65%, . There was an increase in operating expenses driven by the growth, including commissions and levies increasing by a combined SR44,684K and other increases were due to staff and infrastructure related costs required to support the growth.
Reasons of increase (decrease) for the quarter compared with the previous quarter The improved result in the second quarter of 2014, versus the first quarter of 2014, was mainly due to an improved, lower, claims experience, and supported by an increase in net earned premiums, collectively resulting in a significantly increased net underwriting result. This resulted in an improvement of surplus from insurance operations of SR60,802K, a surplus in the second quarter of SR37,959K versus a deficit in the first quarter of SR22,843. The net underwriting result for the three month period ended 30 June 2014, versus the first quarter, improved by SR62,029K, an increase of 54%. The main driver of the increase in net underwriting result was the reduced claims ratio of the second quarter versus the first quarter, at 82.3% versus 87.1% respectively.
