CNP Assurances: Quarterly Indicators for the Nine Months Ended 30 September 2011
PARIS, November 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Nine-month premium income: €22.6bn
Positive net new money: €4.1bn for the Group
Net recurring profit before capital gains: €756m, up 5%
Nine-month net profit: €550m
CNP Assurances, the leading personal insurer in France with operations in the rest of Europe and in South America, has announced its quarterly indicators for the first nine months of 2011.
Highlights
- EBIT up on year earlier period:
- Improvement in business in the third quarter. Revenue performance in France in line with the market (down 11%), international revenue up 3.2%.
- Positive net new money in the third quarter.
- EBIT up 9.1%, lifted by steady growth in technical reserves and ongoing tight control of administrative expenses.
- Market impacts absorbed in the first nine months:
- Total impairment losses on equities and bonds recognised during the period: €226 million net of policyholder participation and tax, of which €44 million on Greek sovereign debt written down by 50% at 30 September across all maturities.
- Group's financial strength unchanged, with the solvency capital requirement covered 1.51 times including unrealised gains and 1.12 times by equity and quasi-equity alone.
Gilles Benoist, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"CNP Assurances continued to enjoy healthy operating momentum in its core personal risk and unit-linked savings businesses. Thanks to its high quality balance sheet, the Group was able to absorb the various market shocks of the period and maintain a healthy solvency margin."
- Business review for the first nine months of 2011[1]
Consolidated premium income fell 8.3% to €22.6 billion. The pension and personal risk businesses enjoyed double-digit growth of 25.9% and 13.7%, respectively. However, the savings business contracted during the period, primarily due to challenging conditions in the main markets, France and Italy. New money calculated on a French GAAP basis was down by a similar 8.9% to €23.3 billion.
Average technical reserves, excluding deferred participation, grew by an estimated 5.0% to €285.0 billion. Period-end, technical reserves were 3.2% higher like-for-like than a year earlier. Net new money for the Group as a whole came to a positive €4.1 billion for the period.

Whereas business in France and Italy was held back by the sluggish savings segment, premium income continued to climb rapidly in Brazil across business lines, as well as in Portugal[2] and Cyprus.
Excluding the impact of the end of the Cofidis partnership, sales of term creditor insurance advanced 13.4%[3], including growth of 9.4% in France and 31.1% in international markets.

Unit-linked sales advanced rapidly, rising by more than 11% overall and by 31% in international markets. As a result, the contribution of unit-linked sales to total savings and pensions revenue increased to 19.8% for the nine-month period from 18.5% in the first half. In the first nine months of the year, more than one out of every two savings and pensions products sold outside France had a unit-linked component.
- France
In France, premium income contractedby 11.1% to €17.6 billion, in line with the rest of the local market. Savings revenue retreated, but personal risk premiums grew by a strong 14.4%, while term creditor insurance business rose 1.4% in a slowing real estate market.
Net new money in France was a positive €2.6 billion[4], of which €665 million was generated in the third quarter alone. There was no major change in comparison with the second quarter, which saw net new money of around €705 million.
i. La Banque Postale
Premium income generated by La Banque Postale amounted to €7.3 billion, a decline of 7.4% that was mainly due to a loss of momentum in the savings business (down 8.2%). The term creditor insurance business continued to enjoy vigorous growth (up 15.0%), while the pensions and personal risk businesses were stable overall.
ii. Savings Banks
At €6.8 billion, premium income generated by the Savings Banks was down 17.9%, mainly reflecting a weaker savings segment. Unit-linked sales accounted for 16.2% of revenue, lifted by four BPCE debt tranches that were marketed during the period. Personal risk premiums were 52% higher, with more than 114,000 new policies sold since the beginning of the year.
iii. CNP Trésor
CNP Trésor's contribution to premium income amounted to €469 million, down 14.0%. The new product range launched in recent years accounted for 42% of sales and significantly contributed to supporting the loading rate.
By deploying several marketing initiatives targeting high-end customers, the network was able to adjust its revenue structure to include more premiums in excess of €100,000.
iv. Companies & Local Authorities
Premium income dipped a slight 1.4% to €1.2 billion for the nine-month period. In the Risk segment, premium rates were increased to maintain profitability at a time of worsening loss ratios. On corporate side, contracts won in 2010 helped to sustain business momentum in 2011.
Pensions revenue was down by 9.6%. However, in this segment, the last few months of the year are generally critical in determining full-year premium income.
v. Financial Institutions
Premium income generated by the financial institutions partnership centre shrank by 6.8% to €1.07 billion. The decline was primarily attributable to the loss of the Cofidis contract effective 1 January 2011, partly offset by high levels of business with other financial institutions since the beginning of the year.
Transaction volumes in the property market slowed during the period, but CNP Assurances was nonetheless able to leverage various positive market features through its term creditor insurance business. These included: still relatively low interest rates (below 4% in August), zero-interest home loans and the general perception of property as a safe haven.
In addition, the Group has fully implemented the new provisions of the AERAS aggravated risk convention since 1 September.
vi. Mutual Insurers
The mutual insurer partnership centre generated premium income of €732 million in the first nine months, up 13.2%, with the MFP Prévoyance subsidiary being consolidated for the first time.
- International operations
Premium income from operations outside France climbed 3.2% to €4.9 billion, or 1% to €5.6 billion under French GAAP[5]. At constant exchange rates, growth in international business was 2.7%. Excluding the impact of the end of the Cofidis partnership, it came to 4.8%.
This performance was led by robust sales in Brazil (up 18.5% to €2.1 billion) and further expansion in pensions (up 55%, including a major contract signed in the first quarter by CNP Europe Life in Ireland), personal risk lines (up 11.6%) and term creditor insurance (up 9%, or 31.1% excluding the Cofidis effect). The European savings business (down 24.4%) continued to be impacted by competition from on-balance sheet products offered by banks. However, business picked up in Italy in the third quarter, thereby limiting the decline in revenue to 27.5% for the first nine months versus 55% for the first half. New product launches and higher unit-linked revenues contributed to this improvement.
i. Caixa Seguros (Brazil)
Caixa Seguros's contribution to consolidated premium income rose 18.5% to €2.1billion. In local currency, growth came to 16.5%, attesting to the subsidiary's current strong momentum and the recovery staged since the first quarter. All segments delivered double-digit growth apart from property and casualty (up 2.8%), and marketing campaigns launched in the second quarter continued to deliver good results. Pensions revenue grew by 21%, savings by 18.7%, personal risk by 14.4% and term creditor insurance by 27.2%.
ii. CNP UniCredit Vita (Italy)
CNP UniCredit Vita's premium income dropped 36.0% year-on-year to €1.4 billion. Still impacted by lower sales of the UniGarantito traditional savings product, the savings business nevertheless improved significantly in the third quarter thanks to new product launches and sharply higher unit-linked revenues, up 154%. The Risk segment continued on the path of healthy expansion observed since January, with term creditor insurance surging 44.5% and personal risk gaining 2.1%, stimulated by the successful introduction of a new term life insurance contract early in the year.
iii. CNP Barclays Vida y Pensiones (Portugal, Spain and Italy)
Less than two years since its launch, the partnership with Barclays in southern Europe continued to develop rapidly. CNP BVP's premium income for the nine months totalled €592 million, representing twice the amount generated in the prior-year period[6]. Growth was underpinned by savings products in Italy - where the BLIP traditional savings contract with a unit-linked formula continued to meet with success - and in Portugal, as well as by robust expansion in term creditor insurance, particularly in Italy.
iv. CNP Marfin Insurance Holding (Cyprus/Greece)
Consolidated premium income for CNP Marfin Insurance Holding totalled €158 million in the first nine months of 2011, up 7% on the year-earlier period despite a very challenging economic environment. The vast majority of revenue was generated in Cyprus. Growth in savings revenue continued, led by two single-premium marketing campaigns carried out in Cyprus.

Net insurance revenue climbed by a solid 7.2% over the period thanks to growth in technical reserves which offset the impact of lower premium income. Net insurance revenue from sales of insurance products was up 5.5%, led by international markets, while revenue from own funds portfolios was 13.6% higher.
Administrative expenses remained under tight control, rising by just 3.1%. Costs shrank by 1.7% in France at comparable scope of consolidation, while increasing slightly in international markets due to investments in growth.
At 30 September, the Group wrote down all of the Greek sovereign debt in its portfolio, including bonds with maturities beyond 2020. Valued by the mark-to-model method, the bonds are now carried at 50% of their face value[7].
The total impact of Greek debt impairments and the decline in the stock markets represented €226.3 million in the first nine months of 2011.
In light of the above, net profit fell 30.8% to €550 million for the nine-month period.
3.Solvency capital
The estimated solvency capital requirement at 30 September 2011 under Solvency I was covered 1.51 times including unrealised capital gains and 1.12 times based on equity and quasi-equity alone, roughly the same coverage rates as at 30 June.
