Our 2024 half-year results are in — here are the key highlights at a glance:    ✔ Helvetia generated underlying earnings in the first half of 2024 of CHF 285.2 million (first half of 2023: CHF 289.7 million). All business areas and segments delivered solid results. Relative to the prior-year period, a higher net claims burden from natural catastrophes – especially in Switzerland – impacted the result.     ✔ Helvetia successfully continued on its selective growth path with a focus on profitable and capital-efficient business fields and increased its business volume by 4.7% to CHF 6,927.2 million on a currency-adjusted basis (first half of 2023: CHF 6,687.0 million).    ✔ High resilience unchanged through diversified business base:  Helvetia benefited from its diversified business base in what was in some ways a challenging market environment. The S&P Global Ratings (S&P) rating agency recently confirmed its “A+” rating for Helvetia. Helvetia’s resilience is also reflected in its capitalisation, which remains excellent. The SST ratio was estimated to be around 300% at the end of June 2024. #Helvetia #insurance #HalfYearResults #growth #profits #finance

Exciting news! 🚄 We are proud that the SBB CFF FFS (Swiss Federal Railways) has been a valued client in our Helvetia portfolio for several years. This year, we are finalizing a contract amendment for 2025 that introduces a bonus-malus approach linked to the SBB’s CO₂ reduction efforts. This innovative concept ties a new clause in their reinsurance contracts to their ESG goals. The goal? Encourage and reward environmental performance. If SBB exceed their CO₂ reduction goal in 2025, we will waive part of the reinsurance premium, allowing SBB Insurance AG (the captive insurer of SBB) to reinvest in sustainability projects. Conversely, if targets aren’t met, higher premiums will apply – which we will then invest in green initiatives. This approach showcases our commitment to being solution-oriented and bringing our expertise closer to our customers when it truly matters. 🌍🔄 #Helvetia #insurance #ESG #sustainability #SBB
