Profit forecast model for 2022

    DKK 2,250-2,500m after tax, excluding run-off in Q2-Q4 but including the expected net gain of DKK 1.2bn from the divestment of Topdanmark Liv Holding A/S (closing assumed as at 31 December 2022).
  • The expected premium growth in non-life has been lowered from 4-5.5% to
    3-4.5% due to the reclassification of illness and  accident to discontinued operations.

Divestment of Topdanmark Liv Holding A/S

  • As announced on 18 March 2022, Topdanmark Forsikring A/S has signed an agreement to divest Topdanmark Liv Holding A/S and all subsidiaries hereof to Nordea Life Holding AB.
  • The divestment is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022.
  • Net gain of approx. DKK 1.2bn is expected to be booked on closing and is included in the updated profit forecast model.
  • The transaction is expected to release approx. DKK 3bn of solvency capital providing Topdanmark with the potential of carrying out an extraordinary distribution of dividend following the closing of the transaction.
  • From Q1 2022, the reporting setup has been updated to reflect the divestment. All subsidiaries held for sale are reported on the line “Profit after tax, discontinued operations”.
