The combined ratio was 82.8 (83.2) driven by a generally improved underlying performance but also a year with high level of weather related claims in all our main markets.

Statement by Group CEO Johan Kirstein Brammer:
Despite a challenging year, Tryg Forsikring’s core business continued to develop positively with a premium growth of 4.8%. The top-line development was driven primarily by price adjustments in the Private and Commercial businesses. Despite high inflation for the majority of 2023 and heavy weather related claims in all markets, we deliver an insurance service result of DKK 6,399m in line with our guidance. The result is supported by positive developments in the core insurance business.

One of the key focuses of the 2024 strategy has been to reduce the exposure of our Corporate business to US liability and property insurance outside the Nordics, and I am happy to report that we have reached this already in 2023. This initiative will improve profitability and reduce earnings volatility in the Group.

To enhance competitiveness in a challenging macroeconomic environment, and to reinforce our commitment to the 2024 targets, we made some strategic and operational adjustments in 2023.  We continued to capitalise on our scale and delivered synergies from the integration of Trygg-Hansa and Codan Norway ahead of schedule, we merged our Corporate segments in Denmark and Norway, and adjusted the leadership structure in Sweden to reflect the operating model of the Tryg Group. 

2023 was a historical year in regards to the high number of weather related events in all our main markets. I'm proud of the way we have served and helped our customers with high agility in connection with these events, and that that our dedicated employees have managed to lift, and maintain, a very high level of customer satisfaction despite the extraordinary high number of claims.
