| Element | EXPLAINATION |
|---|---|
| Reasons of increase (decrease) for the quarter compared with same quarter last year | The improvement in results for the three (3) month period ended 31st March 2016, versus the same period of 2015, was mainly due to strong business growth, resulting in a higher net earned premium and, combined with an improved, lower, net claims incurred to net earned premium ratio (2016 Q1 at 85.2% versus 2015 Q1 at 86.0%) resulting in a higher net underwriting result. The net underwriting result gains were supported by a higher bad debt provision reversal during the first quarter of 2016, versus the same period of 2015, but were offset by an increase in growth related operational expenses, such as staff costs, commission and levies, an increase in the Cooperative Distribution expense due to the higher surplus from insurance operations. Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased by SR366,580K, an increase of 18%, and the net underwriting result for the three month period ended 31st March 2016, versus the same period of 2015, improved by SR67,040K, representing an increase of 32%. The improvement in underwriting result was partially offset by an increase in expenses of SR27,430K, representing an increase of 15%, and the increased Cooperative Distribution expense of SR4,509K, representing an increase of 115%. The improvement in net earned premium, by SR368,680K, represented an increase of 24%, versus the same period of 2015. The surplus from Insurance Operations increased by SR45,092K to a surplus of SR84,293K from Insurance Operations for the period ended 31st March 2016, representing an increase of 115% versus the surplus from Insurance Operations of SR39,201K for the same period of 2015. Investment income also improved, up by SR2,606K to SR11,823K, representing an increase of 28%, versus the SR9,217K for the same period of 2015. |
| Reasons of increase (decrease) for the quarter compared with the previous quarter | The decline in result in the first quarter of 2016, versus the fourth quarter of 2015, was mainly due to higher claims in the first quarter of 2016 (due to seasonality of claims, as reflected by the net claims to net earned premium ratio, 2016 Q1 at 85.2% versus 2015 Q4 at 79.3%) which resulted in a decrease in net underwriting result of SR96,569K, a 26% decrease. There was also an increase in selling and marketing expenses driven by commissions and levies impacted by the seasonality of the Gross Written Premium (GWP) growth (Combined Q1 expense of SR81,842K versus Q4 2015 expense of SR60,278k, an increase of SR21,564K, representing an increase of 36% versus the previous quarter). This was partially offset by Cooperative Distribution reduced by SR14,396K due to the reduced surplus from Insurance Operations, at SR84,293K for the current quarter versus the SR228,251K for the previous quarter, a reduction of 63%. Gross Written Premium (GWP) were higher by SR1,346,035K in the first quarter of 2016, versus the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 122%, and net earned premiums were higher by SR70,509K, an increase of 4%. |
