Slide Commentary

Please refer to the presentation document for further details

RESULTS BY SECTOR - slide 5

In the first quarter 2024 it was not possible to calculate the contribution of BPER and BPSO to Unipol accounting economic results because of the short time available. A three- months' time lag in the incorporation of the banks' results is also expected at 1H24 and at 9M24, while a realignment is expected to be carried out at 2024YE.

To facilitate the comparisons, this presentation shows 1Q24 and 1Q23 results as both including and excluding the banking contribution (worth highlighting is that in 2023 BPSO was consolidated starting from the fourth quarter only).

At 1Q24 Unipol consolidated pre-tax result, excluding the contribution of the aforesaid banking stakes, was 361€m, of which 298€m pertaining to Non-Life sector, 66€m to Life and -3€m to the Other sector. The net result amounted to 242€m (226€m in 1Q23 under the same basis of consolidation), that was 195€m net of minorities (176€m in 1Q23).

Including the consolidated banking stakes, the estimated net result would have been

363€m, or 308€m after minorities. The corresponding consolidated net profit reported at 1Q23 was 284€m (230€m net of minorities).

At UnipolSai the 1Q24 consolidated net result was 235€m, or 227€m after minority interests. The consolidated net result of the same period last year was 231€m, or 218€m net of minority interests.

NON-LIFE PREMIUM COLLECTION - slide 6

Non-Life premium collection reached 2,280€m, growing by 8.7% y-o-y under the same basis of consolidation. The increase was driven by Motor (+11.2%), although Non-Motor showed an excellent trend as well (+6.6%, Unisalute up by 23.1%). All Ecosystems contributed to this growth.

The mix between Motor and Non-Motor continued to be in favour of the latter.

With respect to distribution, as usual the majority of contracts (70%) were intermediated by the network of agents.

No relevant changes were recorded in the breakdown by market segment, with the focus remaining on retail and SMEs, very close to 75%.

COMBINED RATIO - slide 7

The total combined ratio was 91.1%, resulting from 99.6% in Motor and 83.3% in Non- Motor. Loss ratio (64.5% vs 68.4%) benefited inter alia from the excellent top line trend and the lower impact of natural catastrophes and other large losses.
