Gallagher Re assesses global (re)insurers’ financial health
Our friends at Gallagher Re have shared their latest assessment of global (re)insurers’ financial health. The report summarises key themes emerging from global (re)insurers’ financial results for year-end 2022 and has been prepared by Gallagher Re’s Strategic and Financial Advisory team.
Key themes from Q4 and FY 2022 global (re)insurance results:
- Year-on-year premium growth averaged 12.1% for FY 2022, supported by improved pricing for commercial lines and reinsurance business.
- The average combined ratio deteriorated marginally to 95.7% (FY 2021: 94.7%), mainly due to an inflation-driven increase in the attritional loss ratio.
- Investment losses weighed on the average full-year ROE, which dropped to 10% (FY 2021: 12.6%).
- Shareholders’ equity decreased by an average of 27% in FY 2022, driven by unrealised losses on investments and to a lesser extent capital return (both dividends and buybacks).
- Despite declining shareholders’ equity, European solvency remained robust at 235% (FY 2021: 225%), supported by higher risk-free interest rates and retained profits.
- The total average consensus 2023 earnings per share (EPS) estimate was virtually unchanged following FY 2022 results.
