Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich) reported very strong profits for the full year 2022, with the highest business operating profit (BOP) since 2007. The year 2022 ended the second three-year financial cycle of the strategy to transform Zurich into a simpler, more innovative and customer-centric organization.

Group Chief Executive Officer Mario Greco said: "We have exceeded our financial targets for the second consecutive three-year period. These were tough years with unexpected challenges during which we had to stay very agile and focused on our goals. We continued to execute our strategy with strong discipline and successfully drove our results to deliver the targets. I would like to thank all my colleagues, our customers and our partners for this remarkable achievement.

"The P&C business reports today an excellent combined ratio and more importantly shows double digit top-line growth. Higher risk-adjusted prices in commercial insurance and continued measured progress towards our growth ambitions took P&C gross written premiums to a record level.

"The Life business achieved the highest profits ever, with a very light capital consumption. Our balance sheet remains excellent, especially as we progress with the sale of Life back books in Europe. This, together with our strong operating results, has allowed us to propose a 9% increase in the dividend per share to CHF 24.

"In November, we presented our new financial targets and raised our ambitions for the next three years. Over the period 2023-2025, we will accelerate the execution of our customer-centered strategy by further extending the application of data analytics throughout the Group and by accelerating digital innovation.

"The combination of continued margin improvement in our commercial business, improving trends in retail and our ability to grow across all our businesses supports the Group's higher financial ambition for the 2023-2025 cycle."

Full year 2022 BOP was USD 6.5 billion, an increase of 12% compared with USD 5.7 billion in 2021, with improvement across almost all operating segments. This led to a business operating profit after tax return on equity (BOPAT ROE) of 15.7%, the highest since 2009, and well above the 2020-2022 target of >14%.

Net income after tax attributable to shareholders was USD 4.6 billion, a decrease of 12% compared with the prior-year period. This was mainly driven by a lower level of capital gains, net losses on divestment of businesses and hyperinflation charges related to the Latin American business, which more than offset the higher level of BOP. This led to earnings per share (EPS) of USD 30.8 on a fully diluted basis. Adjusted for the one-off impact of the USD 260 million loss on disposals incurred in the second half of 2022, mainly driven by the sale of the Italian legacy life back book, EPS was USD 32.2, corresponding to a 5.1% compound annual growth rate compared with the year 2019.

Cash remittances of USD 12.4 billion in the 2020-2022 period on a cumulative basis were well above the target of >USD 11.5 billion. The Group's SST4 ratio was estimated at 265%, well in excess of the Group's target for an SST ratio of 160% or above.

Customer focus delivering results

Throughout 2022, the Group continued to advance its customer-focused strategy, increasing the use of data insights to improve their experience. This is reflected in higher customer satisfaction and loyalty across the retail business, with the retention rate up 2 percentage points to 82% and 5.7 million net new customers added3 over the last three years. This supported strong top-line growth with retail and SME gross written premiums up 13% on a like-for-like6 basis in 2022.

In the commercial business, demand from customers for dedicated services around current and emerging risks, including climate change, has helped make recently created Zurich Resilience Solutions one of the Group's fastest growing businesses.

Technology is playing a critical role in Zurich's ambition to be a provider of choice. In 2022, Zurich created a global digital platform that enables faster integration and more efficient collaboration with commercial customers and partners.

Responsible and impactful

Zurich made further progress in 2022 toward its ambition to be one of the most responsible and impactful businesses in the world and was awarded the highest environmental, social and governance (ESG) rating from MSCI and CDP. A key part of the goal is supporting a sustainable transition to net-zero emissions by addressing every lever available: reducing emissions in the Group's own operations, and working together with customers and companies that Zurich invests in.

Zurich is taking bold action to cut its own emissions. By the end of 2022, the Group had, among other measures, met its target of switching fully to renewable power worldwide and was on track to reduce air travel emissions by 70% compared with pre-pandemic levels7. The progress allowed Zurich to bring forward its target to achieve net-zero in its operations by 20 years to 2030.

Zurich continued to expand its customer offering of solutions designed to generate positive environmental or social impacts or contribute to mitigating climate risk. During the year, revenues from these sustainable activities doubled to USD 566 million.

In its investment portfolio, Zurich reduced the emissions (CO2e) intensity of corporate investments by 12% in 2022 versus the 2019 baseline, following progress by investee companies on their path toward net-zero emissions. The Group's target is a 25% reduction by 2025.

Beyond the climate crisis, another priority is to help employees to be equipped for the future. The Group's focus on reskilling and upskilling its workforce resulted in an increase in the proportion of internal hires by 3 percentage points to 71% in 2022. Diversity efforts are paying off with more women serving in senior roles, with female representation in senior management8 increasing by 2 percentage points to 29%.

Supporting communities

Throughout the year, Zurich and the Z Zurich Foundation9 have provided humanitarian aid to the victims of the war in Ukraine. They raised CHF 2 million in the first months of the war and in June, Zurich delivered more than 200 tons of food aid to Kharkiv.

Zurich exited the Russian market in July 2022 when it sold its business in the country to 11 members of the unit's team.


Business performance
Property & Casualty
in USD millions, for the 12 months ended December 31 unless otherwise stated 2022 2021 Change in USD5 Change like-for-like5,6
P&C gross written premiums and policy fees 43,335 40,123 8% 14%
P&C business operating profit (BOP) 3,554 3,121 14% 19%
P&C combined ratio 94.3% 94.3% 0.0pts
  • Property & Casualty (P&C) BOP up 14% to USD 3,554 million, driven by further top-line growth while maintaining a strong combined ratio

BOP of USD 3,554 million was 14% higher than in the previous year. The result benefited from a record level of premiums and a strong combined ratio of 94.3% in line with the previous-year period. Lower catastrophe and weather-related claims were partially offset by the inflationary environment experienced within the retail and SME business in the second half of 2022, in particular within the motor business, while commercial insurance continued to benefit from higher earned rate and margin expansion. Excluding crop insurance, the combined ratio improved 0.5 percentage points year over year, driven by a 3.0 percentage points improvement in the commercial insurance combined ratio compared with the prior period.

Gross written premiums grew 14% on a like-for-like6 basis, adjusting for currency movements, with growth in both retail and commercial insurance across all regions. In the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, growth was driven by a combination of rate increases, higher retention and improved new business. North America continued to benefit from higher commercial insurance prices, as well as rising agricultural commodity prices driving top-line growth in crop insurance. Asia Pacific saw a strong recovery in the travel insurance business and overall growth across the region. Latin America returned to growth with a strong performance in Brazil supported by a rebound from lower levels in the previous year due to COVID-19. In U.S. dollars, the Group's P&C gross written premiums rose 8%, reflecting unfavorable currency movements.

The Group achieved price increases of about 6% in the year, supported by a commercial insurance rate change of 8%.

2022 2021 Change in USD5 Change like-for-like5,6

Life new business value, after tax 761 959 (21%) (15%)
  • Strong operating performance, with BOP at historic high of USD 1,963 million, while continuing to reduce the capital intensity of the business

Full year BOP of USD 1,963 million was up 8% compared with the prior-year period, despite unfavorable currency movements due to U.S. dollar appreciation against other major currencies. On a like-for-like6 basis, Life BOP rose by 23%, with stronger operating performance and lower COVID-19 claims more than offsetting the adverse effects of financial markets. COVID-19 claims fell to USD 57 million from USD 195 million in the previous year.

In EMEA, BOP increased by 16% on a like-for-like6 basis, with solid underlying performance, a better COVID-19 experience and favorable effects from management actions more than offsetting the adverse impact of financial market volatility. In Asia Pacific, BOP increased 3% on a like-for-like6 basis despite higher COVID-19 claims, as the spread of the Omicron variant in the first half-year led to an increased amount of hospitalization claims in Japan. In Latin America, BOP doubled on a like-for-like6 basis driven by an improved COVID-19 claims experience, profitable growth and favorable market movements.

Life new business annual premium equivalent (APE) sales increased 1% on a like-for-like6 basis. Growth was driven by higher sales in capital-efficient savings and protection products, which accounted for 95% of APE. In U.S. dollar terms, APE was 7% below the prior-year period, with growth in local currencies offset by U.S. dollar appreciation against other major currencies. In EMEA, APE sales were 3% below the previous year on a like-for-like6 basis. This was primarily driven by a reduction of low-margin individual savings in Spain and a slowdown of unit-linked sales in the second half-year, which were partially offset by growth in corporate savings in Switzerland. APE sales in Asia Pacific rose 14% on a like-for-like6 basis, driven by protection in Japan and Australia in the second half of the year. In Latin America, APE sales grew 8% on a like-for-like6 basis driven by protection in the Zurich branded business.

New business margin remained attractive at 24.8%, down from 29.1% in the previous year, due to a net unfavorable impact of modelling and assumption updates, a less favorable product mix within preferred lines, as well as adverse economic variances mainly related to higher discount rates. These factors also resulted in new business value of USD 761 million, 15% below the previous year on a like-for-like6 basis.

  • Farmers BOP increased by 18% to USD 1,909 million, on top-line growth at Farmers Exchanges2 and improved mortality experience related to COVID-19 at Farmers Life

Gross written premiums of the Farmers Exchanges2 increased by 9% in the year, benefiting from the inclusion of the MetLife business as well as rate-driven growth in the Business Insurance, Farmers Specialty and Farmers Home businesses. This was partially offset by declines in the Bristol West Auto and Farmers Auto books of business. The Farmers Exchanges'2 combined ratio increased 0.9 percentage points to 105.2%, mainly driven by an increase in the non-catastrophe loss ratio due to higher severity. This was partially offset by a reduction in catastrophe losses and a lower expense ratio compared with the prior year.

The surplus ratio declined due to the higher Farmers Exchanges2 premium base on which it is calculated as well as a decline in the ending surplus caused by market-driven movements in unrealized capital losses and a net underwriting loss. These were partially offset by higher net investment income and realized capital gains.

Farmers BOP of USD 1,909 million increased by 18% over the prior-year period, driven by a 13% increase in BOP at Farmers Management Services (FMS) and a strong improvement in the Farmers Life BOP due to better mortality experience related to COVID-19. Farmers Re posted a modest gain, driven by higher investment income and an improved combined ratio compared with the prior year.

FMS management fees and other related revenues were up 5% compared with the prior-year period. This was largely driven by growth in the fee base following the MetLife integration.

Farmers Life new business APE increased by 2% compared with the prior-year period. New business value fell 51%, driven by lower sales volumes, the impact of higher discount rates and a shift in business mix to lower-margin products.

Effective December 31, 2022, Farmers Re increased its participation in the Farmers Exchanges'2 all lines quota share treaty from 1.75% to 8.50%.

Group Functions & Operations had net expenses of USD 780 million, which was USD 26 million better than the prior-year period. This was mainly driven by lower Headquarter expenses.

The Group's Non-Core Businesses, which comprise run-off portfolios that are managed with the intention of proactively reducing risk and releasing capital, reported an operating loss of USD 195 million.

The net investment result on Group investments, which includes net investment income, realized net capital gains, losses and impairments, contributed USD 4.1 billion to the Group's total revenues, down 42% compared with the prior-year period. The net return on Group investments was 2.5%.

Shareholders' equity declined by USD 11.2 billion in 2022, mainly driven by net unrealized losses, unfavorable currency movements and the payment of the Group dividend of USD 3.5 billion. These were partially offset by net income attributable to shareholders of USD 4.6 billion.

The Group's SST4 ratio was estimated at 265%, well in excess of the Group's target for an SST ratio of 160% or above. The increase of 54 percentage points over 2021 was primarily driven by favorable market movements. Compared with the end of the first nine months of 2022, the ratio increased by 13 percentage points, with the sale to GamaLife of a life and pension back book in Italy adding 9 percentage points.

Outlook

Zurich is committed to the delivery of its targets for the 2023-2025 cycle.

For 2023 specifically, Zurich expects P&C commercial insurance margins to expand while rate continues to moderate throughout the year. Retail and SME P&C is expected to start to see improving results as the impact of price increases takes effect and claims inflation moderates.

Zurich will continue to find opportunities to profitably grow capital light Life operations, although weaker macro-economic conditions and financial market volatility may constrain new business production in the short-term.

Farmers Exchanges'2 GWP is expected to grow in the low single digits as the Exchanges focus on improving underwriting performance.

Detailed comparative information for 2022 based on IFRS 17 will be provided along with the first-quarter 2023 update on May 17.
