2019 Annual ResultsSCOR in 2019: profitable growth,
strong capital generation, high solvency
Net income of EUR 422 million and dividend of EUR 1.80 per shareSCOR navigates 2019 with disciplined and profitable franchise expansion, leveraging its balanced portfolio of risks between Life reinsurance and P&C reinsurance, and continues its strong value creation through delivering solid capital generation. In line with its consistent capital management process and dividend policy, the Group is proposing a dividend of EUR 1.801 per share for 2019.Gross written premiums total EUR 16,341 million in 2019, up 4.1% at constant exchange rates compared with 2018 (up 7.1% at current exchange rates).SCOR Global P&C gross written premiums are up 12.7% at constant exchange rates compared with 2018 (up 15.8% at current exchange rates). Altogether SCOR Global P&C adds approximately EUR 1.0 billion of gross written premiums in 2019 whilst absorbing a high level of natural catastrophe and man-made claims, and demonstrating technical profitability with a net combined ratio of 99.0% in 2019.SCOR Global Life gross written premiums are slightly down 1.8% at constant exchange rates compared with 2018 (up 1.2% at current exchange rates). This variation is largely driven by the renewal of certain Financial Solutions transactions as fee business (rather than as premiums) in 2019. Excluding these transactions, Life gross written premiums have grown by 4.5%2 at constant exchange rates. SCOR Global Life continues to successfully expand its franchise and delivers a strong level of technical profitability in 2019 by recording a technical margin of 7.5%.SCOR Global Investments pursues a prudent asset management strategy and delivers a strong return on invested assets of 3.0% in 2019, benefiting from capital gains.The Group cost ratio which stands at 4.7% of gross written premiums, is better than the “Quantum Leap” assumption of ~5.0%.The Group net income stands at EUR 422 million for 2019, up 31.1% compared to 2018. The return on equity (ROE) stands at 7.0%, 636 bps above the risk-free rate3. The normalized4 return on equity for the year is 9.0%, exceeding the profitability target of the strategic plan “Quantum Leap”.Group net operating cash flows stand at EUR 841 million in 2019, with robust cash flows from SCOR Global P&C in line with expectations despite significant payments on 2017 and 2018 natural catastrophe events. SCOR Global Life experienced lower cash flow as a result of the volatility on claim payments. 2018 was positively affected by a large one-off transaction. The Group’s total liquidity stands at EUR 1.5 billion at December 31, 2019.Shareholders’ equity stands at EUR 6,374 million at December 31, 2019, up by EUR 546 million compared with December 31, 2018, after the net income contribution of EUR 422 million and dividend payment of EUR 325 million in May 2019. This results in a strong book value per share of EUR 34.06, compared to EUR 31.53 at December 31, 2018.Financial leverage stands at 26.4% on December 31, 2019, improving by 1.1% points compared to December 31, 2018. Allowing for the intended call of the debt5 callable on October 20, 2020, the adjusted financial leverage ratio would be at 25.5%.The Group’s estimated solvency ratio stands at 226%6 on December 31, 2019, above the optimal solvency range of 185% – 220% as defined in the “Quantum Leap” strategic plan. This elevated solvency level is driven by strong capital generation and efficient capital management.Denis Kessler, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of SCOR, comments: “In 2019, the third consecutive year marked by a high level of natural catastrophes and man-made claims, as well as the persistence of a low interest rate environment, SCOR demonstrates once again its capacity to absorb shocks. The Group continues its development and its strong value creation, recording sustainable growth, an increase in profitability, and further strengthening of solvency. Our shareholder return is attractive with a proposed dividend of EUR 1.80 for 2019 subject to the approval of the Annual General Assembly. SCOR as an independent global Tier one reinsurance company is fully mobilized to reach the targets of its “Quantum Leap” strategic plan.”SCOR Group Full-Year and Q4 2019 key financial details:* Consolidated net income, Group share.**         *
 
SCOR Global P&C adds approximately EUR 1.0 billion of gross written premiums in 2019 whilst demonstrating technical profitability and absorbing a high level of natural catastrophesIn 2019, SCOR Global P&C delivers a strong growth of 12.7% at constant exchange rates (+15.8% at current exchange rates) with gross written premiums reaching EUR 7,147 million. The strong profitable growth is largely driven by robust successive renewals in H2 2018 and 2019 on U.S Treaty reinsurance as well as on Specialty insurance.SCOR Global P&C key figures:SCOR Global P&C absorbs an elevated level of natural catastrophes activity whilst delivering technical profitability with a resilient net combined ratio of 99.0% in 2019:A nat cat ratio of 11.6% (vs. 7% nat cat budget) in 2019 mainly driven by Typhoons Hagibis (EUR 227 million net of retrocession and pre-tax) and Faxai (EUR 156 million net of retrocession and pre-tax) in Japan, Hurricane Dorian (EUR 90 million net of retrocession and pre-tax) in the Bahamas as well as by the development of Japanese Typhoons Jebi and Trami that occurred in 2018 (EUR 66 million net of retrocession and pre-tax) in H1 2019. The Group’s exposure to these events is within the Group’s risk appetite;A net attritional loss and commission ratio of 80.5%, slightly higher than 2018 (79.7%) due to a modestly higher level of man-made claims and the impact of the decision taken on the Ogden rate in the United Kingdom (EUR 13 million pre-tax); andA reserve release of EUR 110 million7 (pre-tax) in 2019, versus EUR 100 million (pre-tax) in 2018.The 2019 normalized net combined ratio stands at 96.1%8, slightly above the 95% to 96% assumption of “Quantum Leap”9 due to the elevated man-made claims.SCOR Global P&C has limited exposure to social inflationSCOR Global P&C has limited exposure to social inflation, with a modest and recently built U.S. casualty portfolio  representing approximately 12% of reserves and 11% of gross written premiums. Furthermore, there is very limited or no appetite to those business lines most impacted by social inflation:No appetite for workers compensation; andVery limited appetite for commercial auto and medical malpractice business, with these lines representing only approximately 1.5% of SGP&C reserves.Of the casualty business written by SGP&C, the book is highly diversified across personal and professional lines and across sectors. The portfolio is largely proportional and so benefits directly from primary market price increases, with limited ‘edge-effect’ from excess of loss treaties.The Group is confident in the secure reserving position, with a best estimate reserving evaluation that includes consideration of upward market loss trends.SCOR Global Life’s profitable growth is driven by continued successful franchise expansionIn 2019, SCOR Global Life’s gross written premiums stand at EUR 9,194 million, slightly down 1.8% at constant exchange rates (up 1.2% at current exchange rates) compared to 2018. The renewal of certain Financial Solutions transactions as fee business (rather than premium business) in 2019 has mechanically reduced the gross written premiums growth, with no impact on profitability.Excluding these transactions, gross written premiums have grown by 4.5%10 at constant exchange rates, driven by continued franchise development.SCOR Global Life key figures:The net technical result stands at EUR 624 million in 2019 (+6.0% at current FX).The technical margin of 7.5% in 2019 stands broadly in line with “Quantum Leap” assumptions11 benefiting from:Positive impact of 0.4% from the above-mentioned Financial Solutions transactions that renewed in 2019 as fee business12;Solid technical result from in-force business. U.S. claims are approximately EUR 80 million13 higher than in 2018, balanced by active portfolio management and a strong reserve position; andProfitability of new business in line with the Group’s ROE target.SCOR Global Investments delivers a strong return on invested assets of 3.0 % in 2019, pursuing a prudent asset management strategy and benefitting from capital gainsTotal investments reach EUR 28.9 billion, with total invested assets of EUR 20.6 billion and funds withheld14 of EUR 8.3 billion.In the current financial environment, SCOR’s pursues a prudent asset allocation and adopts a more cautious positioning of its fixed income portfolio:Liquidity is at 6 % of total invested assets;Corporate bonds account for 43 % (compared to 49% vs. Q4 2018) of total invested assets; andThe fixed income portfolio is of very high quality, with an average rating of A+, and a duration of 3.4 years15.SCOR Global Investments key figures:(*)  Annualized, including interest on deposits (i.e. interest on funds withheld).(**) Annualized, excluding interest on deposits (i.e. interest on funds withheld).The investment portfolio remains highly liquid, with financial cash flows16 of EUR 7.8 billion expected over the next 24 months.The investment income on invested assets stands at EUR 588 million in 2019, benefiting from strong performance of the real estate and fixed income portfolios, with realized gains of EUR 93 million, generating a return on invested assets of 3.0% in 2019.This performance is also supported by a strong income yield, standing at 2.6% in Q4 2019 YTD.The reinvestment yield stands at 2.0% at the end of Q4 201917.

It leverages a powerful underwriting logic, designed to replicate the decisions of a senior underwriter, and enables significant administration efficiency with redesign of entire back-office processes; and“Move 2 Cloud”, an internal project which is part of SCOR’s multi-cloud ambition to move key technology assets (such as the Group Internal Model) to the public cloud environment. The objective is to offer flexibility, to benefit from an extensive computing capacity and to optimize cost in an innovation-friendly environment.SCOR actively integrates environmental, social and governance considerations across all its operations; its efforts are recognized through non-financial rating agency upgradesSCOR actively integrates environmental, social and governance considerations across all its operations.The priority driver of SCOR’s policy in this area is to contribute to mitigation of climate change and adapt its organization to its subsequent effects, as illustrated by the numerous commitments made during the last 10 years and further enhanced within the “Quantum Leap” strategic plan.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE GLOBAL VIRTUAL ASSISTANT MARKET
The growing requirement for efficient administrative support services is driving the virtual assistant market in the BFSI sector. Virtual assistants, who manage administrative tasks including data entry, document preparation, and email correspondence, are a wonderful asset to financial firms. Their remote access to planning resources from a home office makes it easier for clients to cooperate and boosts output. Additionally, virtual assistants with specialised knowledge in banking, finance, and regulatory compliance improve customer service and operational performance in the BFSI sector.
Because they offer administrative help to companies in the retail and e-commerce sectors, virtual assistants are essential to this industry. Virtual assistants let retailers focus on their main business activities by streamlining their operations and performing tasks like inventory management, product listing updates, and customer questions and orders processing. Their remote access to common calendars and other planning materials guarantees smooth client collaboration and improves responsiveness to client requests. Because virtual assistants provide flexible support services that can adjust to changing demand levels, they can help retail and e-commerce enterprises scale.
Virtual assistants are fostering growth in the automotive industry by offering administrative support services to companies in this field. Virtual assistants help auto firms with a range of duties, such as addressing client questions, making appointment arrangements, and organising logistics for car delivery and maintenance. The flexibility and efficiency of the automotive supply chain are increased by their remote access to planning documents and capacity to work from home offices. Furthermore, virtual assistants enhance client satisfaction by offering prompt help and support during the whole lifespan of a vehicle.
The market for virtual assistants is expanding in the healthcare industry as providers look to enhance patient care and streamline administrative procedures. Virtual assistants help healthcare businesses by taking care of patient queries, organizing appointments, and helping with medical paperwork duties. They may collaborate with healthcare professionals more easily and efficiently since they can work from home offices and access shared calendars and patient information. By promptly responding to questions and concerns about healthcare, virtual assistants can help to increase patient satisfaction.
The demand for cost-cutting and operational efficiency, the emergence of software-defined networking (SDN) technologies, and the growing complexity of network infrastructures are the main drivers of the market for network automation. In response to expanding digital transformation projects and the growth of cloud-based services and apps, organisations across a wide range of sectors are adopting automation to increase agility, streamline network administration operations, and boost security posture.
