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 September 2014 versus the same period of 2013, was due mainly to very strong business growth, including a major account win, resulting in a much higher net written and earned premium, and combined with an improved claims ratio (74.2% vs. 75.3%) resulted in a significantly higher net underwriting result. The net underwriting result gains were partially offset by increased growth related operational expenses, such as commissions, levies and staff/infrastructure related expenses to support the growth. Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased by SR1,218,225K, an increase of 135%, and the net underwriting result for the three month period ended 30 September 2014, versus the same period of 2013, improved by SR165,391K, an increase of 95%. The improvement in the net earned premium by SR613,527K, represented an increase of 87%, 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 nine months ended 30th September 2014, versus the same period of 2013, was due mainly to very strong business growth, including a major account win, resulting in a much higher net written and earned premium, and combined with an improved claims ratio (80.3% vs. 81.9%), resulted in a significantly higher net underwriting result. The net underwriting result improved by SR298,412K versus the same period of the previous year, representing a 90% increase. Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased by SR2,316,069K, versus the same period of 2013, representing an increase of 89%. There was an increase in operating expenses driven by the growth, including commissions and levies (increasing by a combined SR80,192K ) and other expense 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 third quarter of 2014, versus the second quarter of 2014, was mainly due to very strong business growth, including a major account win, resulting in a much higher net written and earned premium, and supported by an improved claims ratio, collectively resulting in a significantly increased net underwriting result. This resulted in an improvement of surplus from insurance operations of SR139,017K, a surplus in the third quarter of SR176,976K versus SR37,959 in the second quarter of the same year. The net underwriting result for the three month period ended 30 September 2014, versus the second quarter, improved by SR163,242K, an increase of 93%. The claims ratio of the third quarter was at 74.2%, an improvement versus the second quarter at 82.3% due to seasonality of claims.
