As a result of the depreciation in TL and the increase in the minimum wage MOD claim cost (spare part cost and labor expense) increased, leading to technical loss which arises from the portfolio that is already priced (in-force portfolio) in the first three quarters of 2022. The technical profit of the new business portfolio written in 2022 reached a level which compensates for the losses of the in-force portfolio in the third quarter and MOD technical loss turned into profit in the fourth quarter of 2022

In the actuarial valuation report on the risky drivers' pool ultimate loss ratio estimation prepared as of the third quarter of 2022 and published by PwC in December ultimate loss ratio of the traffic pool was revised upwards for all accident years

Increase in medium and large size claims in non-motor products

Total underwriting result (UWR) is positive with 463 million TL YoY increase reaching to 71 million TL in the fourth quarter of 2022

The combined ratio improved by 50pp YoY in the fourth quarter of 2022 and resulted as 105%. The decrease in the combined ratio comes entirely from the loss ratio which decreased to 83% in the fourth quarter of 2022

Net financial income, including FX gain/loss and financial expenses, decreased by 19% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and realized as 339 million TL. In 2022 137 million TL financial income was recorded from TL tax advantage funds, generating 37 million TL tax shield.

Prospects

We feel the deep sadness for the earthquakes that took place in Kahramanmaraş and affected approximately 12 provinces. We wish God's mercy on those who lost their lives and a speedy recovery to the injured ones. As always, we stand by our people in every way, both materially and morally, in this difficult period as Aksigorta. We would like to point out that we have the financial power to recover the claims of our policyholders. We foresee that with our excess of loss reinsurance agreement covering all catastrophic risks, including earthquakes and equalization reserve in our financials booked to recover the catastrophic risks such as flood and earthquake etc. could compensate the claims of the earthquake incurred and we do not see any negative impact on our equity and balance sheet profitability in 2023.

Topline growth will be maintained via:

  • Contribution of new agencies; in the last 5 years 1.612 new agencies are added to our agency network which make 34% of total agency GWP in 2022
  • # of agencies exceeded 3.600 in 2022
  • Increase in bank channel penetration with the complementary health product
  • Following corporate business potential closely
  • Telcosurance partnership with Vodafone to sell insurance products
  • IOT partnership with Fiat Connect to sell insurance products bundled with auto sales
  • Economic MOD product suitable for economic conditions

Combined ratio will be kept below 100% via:

  • Enhanced risk management policy and profitable insurance portfolio
  • Data analytics capabilities used in pricing and underwriting
  • Usage of robotic process automation (currently 160 processes are automated corresponding to 5,9m transactions and 200+ FTE in Jan.22-Dec.22 period) leading to operational efficiency & saving
  • New technologies applied in customers' claim experiences
  • New technologies such as AI, ML used in pricing of motor products
  • New collaborations in the Digital Channel
  • New products in the bank channel
