A reconciliation between IFRS and non-IFRS measures is given in the Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) on pages 54 to 57.

• The largest element of Insurance revenue is Gross written premium (GWP) which increased by 10% to €226m (2023: €206m) with over 70% of the increase coming through our local offices.

• The Insurance service result decreased by €17m to €48m (2023: €65m). The decrease reflects higher Insurance service expenses (ISE) of €37m split between higher weather costs year to date and increased frequency and inflation in Motor Damage claims, net of increased Insurance revenue of €18m and reduced net expenses from reinsurance contracts held of €2m.

• Overall investment return was positive driven by cash and bond income as well as strong equity markets resulting in a profit through the Income Statement of €15m (2023: €8m) offset by mark-to-market losses through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) of €4m (2023: +€9m).

• The expense ratio increased to 27.7% (2023: 27.1%). The expense ratio includes Insurance acquisition expenses and Non-attributable expenses. Overall costs have been impacted by inflationary pressure on staff and IT costs as well as investment in increased operating capacity to support revenue growth.

• Net Asset Value per share of 1,293 cent has reduced from 1,330 cent at the end of 2023 as the dividend payments in May were offset by six months of 2024 profit.

Commenting on these results Tomás Ó Midheach, FBD Group Chief Executive, said:

"I am pleased to announce a strong, consistent performance from FBD for the first half of 2024 as the business continued to grow over the period across all customer sectors. Our customer focused strategy has established a strong momentum, as seen in the increase in number of new customers over the period and in the retention rates of our loyal customers.

GWP has grown by 10% year on year reflecting our 34-strong local office network, online offering and contact centre providing valued products, personalised service and support for our customers when they need us.

The Board has approved a special dividend of 100c per ordinary share. Our Solvency Capital ratio of 204%, after this dividend, demonstrates the strength of the franchise.

We welcome the certainty from the Delaney v Injuries Resolution Board case confirming the Judicial Council guidelines and we hope to see the increase in settlement rates continuing in accordance with the Insurance Reform agenda.

With regard to our claims experience, Motor Damage continues to experience double digit inflation year-on-year. In addition, Property claims increased substantially due to significant weather events in the first quarter, in particular Storm Isha.

We made further progress in relation to ESG advocacy, where we recently announced, in partnership with UCD, an investment in new agricultural research and education facilities at UCD Lyons Farm. This underscores FBD's commitment to supporting Ireland's rural communities and the future of Irish agriculture.

I would like to acknowledge the support of the Board and the wider FBD team for their commitment and hard work in delivering these half year results.

We look forward to building on this momentum in the second half of the year while delivering sustainable value for all our stakeholders."

A presentation will be available on our FBD Group website www.fbdgroup.com from 9.00 am today.

OVERVIEW

The FBD Group reported a profit before tax of €32.3m (2023: €39.5m), supported by continuing growth in Insurance revenue, increasing investment returns and favourable prior year reserve development, offset somewhat by weather and continuing frequency and inflation in Motor Damage and Property claims.

INSURANCE SERVICE RESULT

Insurance Revenue

Insurance revenue is 9.3% higher at €212.6m (2023: €194.5m). Gross written premium is the largest part of Insurance revenue and is 9.5% higher than 2023 at €226.1m (2023: €206.4m) with growth across all our customer groups. The Farmer sector is performing well, delivering more than half the premium growth. New business volumes saw double digit increases over the period. Underlying policy count growth across Farmer, Business & Retail sectors of 4.5%. Overall policy count growth of 1.1% is impacted by legacy scheme run-off* during 2024. Retention rates remain consistently high in the first half of 2024.

Average premium increased by 8.3% across the portfolio with almost two-thirds of the increase reflecting the change in mix and increasing liability and property coverage, with some rate applied reflecting the inflationary impacts. Private Motor average premium increased by 5.6%, excluding the legacy scheme run-off*, reflecting the increasing cost of Motor Damage claims, as repair costs are higher due to increasing costs of input (labour, paint costs and materials) and additional complexity (e.g. relating to advanced technology in newer vehicles) coupled with increasing frequency of such claims. Commercial Motor is seeing similar challenges to Private Motor. Home average premium increased by 11.5% reflecting increases in property sums insured as rebuild costs continue to increase. Farm average premium increased by 6.9% largely as a result of increases in property sums insured as rebuild costs continue to increase.

*Legacy scheme run-off is a broker scheme for Private Motor and Home now terminated, that included GWP €2.5m and 8,710 policies in H1 2023.

Insurance Service Expenses

Insurance service expenses (ISE) increased by €37.2m to €129.1m (2023: €92.0m). The table below splits the ISE into Gross incurred claims, Changes that relate to past service and Insurance acquisition expenses. The Gross incurred claims increased by €18.6m reflecting increasing frequency and inflation in Motor Damage claims costs and weather. Changes that relate to past service reduced by €15.0m reflecting reduced favourable prior year reserve movements, gross of reinsurance, including that related to Business Interruption, as well as other IFRS 17 specific movements in the Risk Adjustment and Discounting. Insurance acquisition expenses of €40.1m form part of the ISE and are referenced below under Expenses.

Insurance Service Expenses	Half Year ended 30 June 2024	Half Year ended 30 June 2023
	€000	€000
Incurred claims and other expenses	(133,378)	(114,744)
Changes that relate to past service - Changes in Fulfillment Cashflows (FCF) relating to the Liability for incurred claims (LIC)	44,400	59,375
Insurance acquisition expenses	(40,146)	(36,588)
Total Insurance service expenses	(129,124)	(91,957)

Injury notifications increased by 5% year on year largely reflecting increased policy count and injury frequency increased marginally. The average cost of injury claims settlements is up 2% in the last 12 months.

Claims being settled under the Personal Injuries Guidelines continue to be more than 40% lower in value when compared to the previous Book of Quantum. The level of acceptance of Injuries Resolution Board awards by the end of 2022 across the market was approaching pre-guideline levels at 48%. Higher acceptance rates reduce the number of cases through the courts system attracting higher legal costs. It will take time for the full impact to be known of the guidelines on claims settled through the litigation process.

Motor Damage notifications increased by 3% on the same period last year and settlement costs increased by 10% over the last 12 months, following double digit increases experienced in recent years. Increased repair costs are associated with advancements in technology and the impact of inflation on parts, labour and paint.

Property claim notifications are up 29% year on year due to an increase in the number of storm claims in 2024. The average cost of Property claims increased by 8% over the last 12 months compared to the previous year, excluding Business Interruption claims, due to a change in mix of claims and inflation, with double digit increases in Escape of Water claims and high single digit increases in Storm and Fire claims.

Reinsurance

The reinsurance programme for 2024 was successfully renegotiated with some changes to the expiring agreement, as more risk is retained at lower layers. Reinsurance market conditions and pricing increases incurred over recent years have diminished the value of lower layer protection. While the levels of expected reinsurance recoveries will reduce as a result of the changes, the reduced reinsurance premium would mean an expected net benefit to FBD in a typical year. Overall, we saw an increase in reinsurance rates for Property of 5.5% and Casualty of 8.5% on the comparable renewed cover.

For 2024, the net expense from reinsurance contracts held decreased by €1.6m being a small increase in the level of expected recoveries and a reduction in reinsurance premium reflecting reduced layer protection.

Weather, Claims Frequency and Large Claims

Net of reinsurance, weather losses to date in 2024 were substantially higher than the first half of 2023. This was primarily driven by Storm Isha which occurred in January 2024. There were no storms of note in the first half of 2023.

Large injury claims, defined as a value greater than €250k, notified to date in 2024 are slightly lower than the average of the past 10 years.

Expenses

The FBD Group's expense ratio is 27.7% (2023: 27.1%). Insurance acquisition expenses and Non-attributable expenses are combined to calculate the total expense cost of €59.0m (2023: €52.8m). The 12% increase includes additional costs to support continuing revenue growth, as well as inflationary impacts on employee expenses and IT costs along with an increase in depreciation costs as FBD increases capital investment in a more digitally enabled business.

Other Provisions Charges

Other provisions charges of €4.4m included in the Income Statement (2023: €12.4m), made up of Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) levy of €3.1m, ESG advocacy provision of €1.5m for the investment in new agricultural research and education facilities at UCD Lyons Farm and Motor Insurers Insolvency Compensation Fund (MIICF) contribution of €1.1m, net of small reductions in previous provisions.

INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT

We welcome the certainty brought by the recent Supreme Court ruling relating to Personal Injury Guidelines (Delaney v Injuries Resolution Board), which confirms that the guidelines are legally binding and remain in force . Injury settlement rates increased by 8% compared to the first half of 2023, reversing the recent downward trend.

The Minister for Justice's announcement accepting the recommendations of an expert group that there will be no change to the discount rate in catastrophic injuries cases brings welcome certainty. The rate will be reviewed at least every three years with a trigger mechanism introduced that will enable a review if economic circumstances or the rate is successfully challenged in the courts.

We note the publication of the ministerial report with recommendations on the indexation rate for periodic payment orders (PPOs). The indexation of PPOs will no longer be fixed solely on the Consumer Price Index. Instead, the indexation rate will be based on a combination of the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Annual Rate of Change (ARC) in nominal hourly health earnings. We understand the regulations to implement the recommendations are being drafted.

Under road legislation , Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) details are being provided to An Garda Síochana on a daily basis and enhancements to the Irish Motor Insurance Database (IMID) are ongoing. FBD are working towards providing driving licence numbers for all policyholders and named drivers on a phased basis starting in 2024. In addition, the Road Traffic and Roads Act made changes to RTA legislation to better regulate the use of scramblers/quads and e-bikes/e-scooters. FBD fully supports the work of the Government on all road safety matters.

There are a number of proposed legislative developments, namely a Flood Insurance Bill; Consumer Insurance Contracts (Amendment) Bill 2023; and Consumer Protection Code Review. FBD continue to monitor each of these as they progress through the legislative process to assess portfolio impacts.

We also note a number of recently enacted legislative changes to the Judicial Council Act; Civil Liability Act; Occupier's Liability Act; Representative Actions for the Protection of the Collective Interests of Consumers Act; and the 6th Motor Insurance Directive. As with all changes to the underwriting environment we will continue to monitor the impact, if any, these have on our portfolios and ensure they are reflected in the price and provision of services we offer our customers.

UNDERWRITING

FBD Group generated an underwriting profit of €26.3m (2023: €36.8m) which translates to a Combined Operating Ratio (COR) of 87.7% (2023: 81.1%). The undiscounted Combined Operating Ratio (COR) was 91.9% (2023: 84.2%).

Investment Return

FBD's total investment return for HY24 is +1.0% (FY23: 1.5%). The investment return recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement is 1.3% (FY23: 0.7%) and in the Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income is -0.3% (FY23: 0.8%).

FBD continues to benefit from elevated cash and bond yields while equities have contributed materially to the strong Income Statement returns. The higher interest rate environment experienced since mid-2022 has led to a material increase in returns through the Income Statement from deposits and bonds. Bond maturities continue to be reinvested at higher interest rates, which is gradually increasing the income earned on these portfolios.

The decline in interest rates, amid expectations of aggressive central bank rate cuts, in the last quarter of 2023 proved over-optimistic and were swiftly repriced at the start of the year. The pricing of up to seven European Central Bank (ECB) cuts in 2024 has now reverted to potentially two or three and resulted in the benchmark German 5 year Bund increasing from 1.9% to 2.5%. The ECB cut rates by 0.25% in June and has signalled any further cuts will be dependent on inflation data. The increase in rates has led to mark-to-market losses on the bond portfolios but these have been mitigated by narrowing credit spreads and the 'pull-to-par' effect on bonds which sustained losses in 2022 as they converge towards their par value as they approach maturity. An improving macroeconomic environment has supported risk asset returns in general while equity markets have been driven by positive sentiment linked to the earnings potential from the expansion of Generative Artificial Intelligence.

Financial Services and Other Group activities

The FBD Group's financial services operations commission covered the expenses incurred for the period (2023 loss: €0.1m). Other Group activities include Holding Company costs which increased by €2.3m to €4.1m which primarily relates to a provision of €1.5m for the new agricultural research and education facilities at UCD Lyons Farm. The balance of the increase relates to consultancy costs incurred to support preparation for the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reporting requirements, as well as inflation.

Profit per share

The diluted profit per share is 77 cent per ordinary share, compared to a diluted profit of 89 cent per ordinary share in 2023.

Dividend

The Board has approved a special dividend of 100 cent per ordinary share returning a portion of excess capital to shareholders. Focus remains on annual dividend sustainability while maintaining a strong capital position.

The special dividend approved by the Board on 8 August 2024 will be paid on 18 October 2024 to the holders of shares on the register on 13 September 2024. The dividend is subject to withholding tax ("DWT") except for shareholders who are exempt from DWT and who have furnished a properly completed declaration of exemption to the Company's Registrar from whom further details may be obtained.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

Capital position

Ordinary shareholders' funds at 30 June 2024 amounted to €464.1m (31 December 2023: €477.0m). The decrease in shareholders' funds is driven by the following:

• Payment of the ordinary and preference dividends related to the 2023 financial performance totalling €36.2m;

• Repurchase and cancellation of own shares of €4.0m offsetting dilution from the vesting of awards under the employee share schemes; and

• OCI Losses after tax for the year of €2.8m made up of:

• Mark to market losses on our Bond portfolio of €3.9m;

• Net of:

• Insurance finance income for insurance and reinsurance contracts issued €0.6m;

• Income tax credit through Other Comprehensive income of €0.4m;

• An increase in Retirement benefit surplus (net of tax) of €0.1m;

• Increases to capital come from Profit after tax for the period of €28.1.m; and

• Share-based payment increase capital by €1.9m.

Net asset value per ordinary share is 1,293 cent, compared to 1,330 cent per share at 31 December 2023.

Investment Allocation

The FBD Group has a conservative investment strategy to ensure that its insurance contract liabilities are matched by cash and fixed interest securities of similar nature and duration. Cash allocations decreased and the Company divested €20m from its risk asset portfolio to fund dividends during the period. The average credit quality of the corporate bond portfolio has remained at A- while the allocation to BBB rated bonds remains stable at 38%. The duration of the corporate bond portfolio is unchanged at 3.5 years and the government bond portfolio duration decreased to 3 years (FY23: 3.5 years).

The allocation of the FBD Group's investment assets is as follows:

	30 June 2024		31 December 2023
	€m	%	€m	%
Corporate bonds	594	51 %	575	49 %
Government bonds	263	23 %	281	24 %
Deposits and cash	134	12 %	145	12 %
Other risk assets	149	13 %	161	14 %
Investment property	12	1 %	12	1 %
	1,152	100%	1,174	100 %

Solvency

The Half Year SCR is 204% (unreviewed) which reduced from 213% (audited) at 31 December 2023. In addition to the reduction related to the approved special dividend, the capital ratio has also reduced due to increased capital requirements relating to greater insurance exposure. The FBD Group is committed to maintaining a strong solvency position.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the FBD Group are outlined on pages 20 to 28 of the FBD Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 and continue to apply to the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.

Global economic growth is expected to be positive with the US likely to avoid a hard landing and other regions, including the Eurozone, rebounding from low growth or recessionary levels. Inflation has also been moderating with most economies on a path to meet their stable long-term target. Risks to this outlook remain with wage demands being a potential driver of continued above trend inflation while geopolitical tensions could cause another spike in energy prices. Escalation of ongoing conflicts and trade wars and potential instability arising out of upcoming elections in the US are other major risk factors.

In addition to global risks, the Irish economy is especially susceptible to wage inflation with the economy at full employment. Excessive expansionary fiscal policy and continued delays in addressing housing and other infrastructure issues could generate higher inflation and damage competitiveness.

Future financial market movements and their impact on balance sheet valuations, pension surplus and investment income are unknown and remain extremely sensitive to expectations around the future path of interest rates. The FBD Group's Investment Policy, which defines investment limits and rules and ensures there is an appropriate allocation of investments, is being continuously monitored.

The FBD Group continues to manage liquidity risk through ongoing monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows. The FBD Group's cash flow projections from its financial assets are well matched to the cash flow projections of its liabilities. The FBD Group holds cash resources significantly higher than its minimum liquidity requirement in order to mitigate any liquidity stress events. All of the FBD Group's fixed term deposits are with financial institutions which have a minimum A- rating. The FBD Group's asset allocation is outlined above.

Reinsurance is becoming more expensive as the cost of climate change is being felt across the insurance industry with some risks being reassessed. Delaying the transition to a greener economy will accelerate the effects of climate change that could drive further increases in reinsurance and insurance costs. Regular review of the FBD Group's reinsurers' credit ratings and reinsurer's outstanding balances is in place. All of the FBD Group's reinsurers have a credit rating of A- or better.

Hiring and retaining key talent is always a challenge in an economy with full employment. Our focus continues on delivering a positive working environment underpinned by continuous improvement as we invest in education and training, alongside well-being initiatives to support employees. Hybrid working and flexibility are key tools provided, where possible to support balance for employees as we work hard to ensure our employees feel valued and supported.

FBD model forward looking projections of key financial metrics on a periodic basis based on an assessment of the likely operating environment over the next number of years. The projections reflect changes of which we are aware and other uncertainties that may impact future business plans and includes assumptions on the potential impact on revenue, expenses, claims frequency, claims severity, investment market movements and solvency. The output of the modelling demonstrates that the FBD Group is projected to be profitable and remain in a strong capital position. However, the situation can change and unforeseen challenges and events could occur. The solvency of the FBD Group remains solid and is currently at 204% (unreviewed) (31 December 2023: 213%).

OUTLOOK

The economic outlook for 2024 is cautiously optimistic, both globally and domestically, with modest growth expectations despite on-going global uncertainties from geopolitical risks and uneven momentum in the disinflationary pressure. Economic growth has been positive in Ireland in the first half of 2024, and this is projected to continue over the medium term. Domestic inflation has declined, however, services and food inflation remain elevated. The pace of employment growth has slowed but unemployment rates are at historical lows and the tight labour market continues to put upward pressure on wages. Capacity constraints in housing and other infrastructure may also dampen growth expectations and contribute to inflation.

Resolution of the challenges to the Personal Injuries Guidelines is welcome and provides certainty around the constitutionality of the guidelines. The impact may bring more predictability and transparency to personal injury settlements, stabilising insurance costs and discouraging claims inflation; the ultimate impact will be seen in future years. There will continue to be inflationary pressure on Motor Damage costs as newer vehicles with advanced technology, including electric and hybrid vehicles, which are more complex to repair, become a greater proportion of the national fleet.

Income from our bond portfolios is projected to increase in the years ahead due to the impact of higher reinvestment yields as existing bonds mature.

We are always assessing ways that we can make a meaningful contribution to sustainability that supports our customers' needs. Following on from our 2023 €2.5m commitment to the ESG initiative for The Padraig Walshe Centre for Sustainable Animal and Grassland Research based in Teagasc Moorepark, we recently announced our commitment to partnering with UCD Agricultural Science Centre for investment in new agricultural research and education facilities at UCD Lyons Farm. Research and innovation are essential to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as Ireland strives to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

FBD has mobilised a project team including external support to ensure delivery of the reporting requirements under CSRD for inclusion in the 2024 Annual Report. We are continuing to progress our work on Science Based Targets to provide a benchmark for future decarbonisation improvements. FBD signed up to the UN Principles of Sustainable Insurance (PSI) and will issue our first annual disclosure outlining progress made in implementing the PSI in line with the UN Environmental Programme (EP) for Financial Institutions (FI) requirement.

As an organisation we deliver value for our customers and employees and focus on continuously improving to ensure their needs are central to what we do, as we continue to innovate and become a more digitally enabled organisation. We are mindful of the challenges, both global and national, including inflation and interest rates which impact affordability. FBD is well positioned into the future as demonstrated by a robust and growing business that is delivering for all stakeholders.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the half year ended 30 June 2024

Note 1 Statutory information

The half yearly financial information is considered non-statutory financial statements for the purposes of the Companies Act 2014 and in compliance with section 340(4) of that Act we state that:

• the financial information for the half year to 30 June 2024 does not constitute the statutory financial statements of the Company;

• the statutory financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 have been annexed to the annual return and delivered to the Registrar;

• the statutory auditors of the Company have made a report under section 391 Companies Act 2014 in respect of the statutory financial statements for year ended 31 December 2023; and

• the matters referred to in the statutory auditors' report were unqualified, and did not include a reference to any matters to which the statutory auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, Chartered Accountants and Statutory Audit Firm, have performed an interim review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' ("ISRE (Ireland) 2410") issued for use in Ireland' on the interim financial information for the period ended 30 June 2024.

Note 2 Going concern

The Directors have, at the time of approving the interim financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company and the FBD Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.

In making this assessment the Directors considered up to date solvency, liquidity and profitability projections for the FBD Group. The basis of this assessment was the latest quarterly forecast for 2024 and projections for 2025 which reflect the latest assumptions used by the business. The economic environment may impact on premiums including exposures, new business and retention levels. Expense assumptions can change depending on the level of premiums as discretionary spend and resources are adjusted and inflationary pressures are taken into account.

A number of scenario projections were also run as part of the Own Risk Solvency Assessment (ORSA) process, including a number of more extreme stress events, and in all scenarios the FBD Group's capital ratio remained in excess of the Solvency Capital Requirement and in compliance with liquidity policies.

The Directors considered the liquidity requirements of the business to ensure it is projected to have cash resources available to pay claims and other expenditures as they fall due. The business is expected to have adequate cash resources available to support business requirements. In addition the FBD Group has a highly liquid investment portfolio with over 75% of the portfolio invested in investment grade corporate and sovereign bonds with an average credit rating of A-. In the worst case scenario run the FBD Group's Capital Ratio remained in excess of the Solvency Capital Requirement and in compliance with liquidity policies.

Note 3 Summary of material accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The annual financial statements of FBD Holdings plc are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.

On the basis of the projections for the FBD Group, the Directors are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties which cast significant doubt on the ability of the FBD Group or Company to continue as a going concern over the period of assessment being not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Therefore the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Consolidated interim financial statements.

Consistency of accounting policies

FBD Holding Plc has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in its interim consolidated financial statements as in its 2023 annual financial statements, except for the following amendments which apply for the first time in 2024.

The FBD Group has considered the following new standards, amendments, and interpretations effective from 1 January 2024:

• Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 & IFRS 7);

• Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16);

• Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1); and

• Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the half year ended 30 June 2024

Note 3 Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

Consistency of accounting policies (continued)

The adoption of these new and amended standards did not have a material impact on the FBD Group's accounting policies, financial position, or performance. Consequently, the FBD Group has not made any significant changes to its accounting policies or disclosures.

In the application of the FBD Group's accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The key judgements and the key sources of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the interim financial statements are detailed below. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates of future cash flows to fulfil insurance/reinsurance contracts

The FBD Group estimates insurance liabilities in relation to claims incurred. In estimating future cash flows, the FBD Group incorporate, in an unbiased way, all reasonable and supporting information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date. This information includes both internal information and external historical data about claims and other experience, updated to reflect current expectations of future events.

Uncertainty in the estimation of future claims and benefit payments arises primarily from the severity and frequency of claims and uncertainties regarding future inflation rates leading to claims and claims-handling expenses growth. As a result of the uncertainties noted, the FBD Group holds a risk adjustment for non-financial risk in the insurance contract liabilities to reflect the uncertainty relating to all non-financial risks.

Assumptions used to develop estimates about future cash flows are reassessed at each reporting date and adjusted where required.

Methods used to measure the LIC

The FBD Group estimates insurance liabilities and reinsurance assets in relation to claims incurred on a risk basis. Estimates are performed on an accident year basis with further allocation to annual cohorts of portfolios based on available data. Judgement is involved in assessing the most appropriate technique to estimate insurance liabilities for the claims incurred. In certain instances, different techniques or a combination of techniques have been selected for individual accident years or groups of accident years within the same type of contracts.

The ultimate cost of outstanding claims is estimated by using a range of standard actuarial claims projection techniques, such as, but not limited to, Chain Ladder, Bornheutter-Ferguson, Initial Expected Loss Ratio and frequency-severity methods.

The liabilities for incurred claims represent the cost of claims outstanding. Actuarial techniques, based on statistical analysis of past experience, are used to calculate the estimated cost of claims outstanding at the period end.

The estimation of outstanding claim also includes factors such as the potential for inflation and the potential impact of the Personal Injuries Guidelines. Provisions for more recent claims make use of techniques that incorporate expected loss ratios and average claims costs (adjusted for inflation) and frequency methods. The average claims cost and frequency methods are particularly relevant when calculating the ultimate cost of the current accident year.

FBD received the final judgement in relation to the Covid-19 Business Interruption test case in 2023. This has provided more certainty on the measurement of losses and FBD have now closed approximately 70% of claims while continuing to work with remaining policyholders to make the final settlement of their claims.

The calculations are particularly sensitive to the estimation of the ultimate cost of claims for the particular classes of business and the estimation of future claims handling costs. Actual claims experience may differ from the assumptions on which the actuarial best estimate is based and the cost of settling individual claims may exceed that assumed.

The actual amount recovered from reinsurers is sensitive to the same uncertainties as the underlying claims. To the extent that the underlying claim settles at a lower or higher amount than that assumed this will have a direct influence on the associated reinsurance asset.

To minimise default exposure, the FBD Group's policy is that all reinsurers should have a credit rating of A- or better or have provided alternative satisfactory security.

For the half year ended 30 June 2024

Note 3 Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

Discount rates

The FBD Group is required to discount future cash flows related to incurred claims as the weighted time to settlement is greater than one year from the date claim occurred.

The FBD Group determines the risk-free discount rate using a bottom-up approach. Under this approach, the discount rate is determined as the risk-free yield curve adjusted for differences in liquidity characteristics between the financial assets used to derive the risk free yield and the relevant liability cash flows (known as an illiquidity premium).

The FBD Group uses the Euro denominated EIOPA prescribed rates under Solvency II as the risk-free yield. The EIOPA EUR spot rates are derived from market observable EUR swap rates for durations one to twenty years.

The illiquidity premium is determined by reference to observable market rates.

The yield curves used to discount the estimates of future cash flows are as follows:

	Currency	1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years	15 years	20 years
30 June 2023	EUR	4.1 %	3.6 %	3.3 %	3.0 %	2.9 %	2.8 %
31 Dec 2023	EUR	3.5 %	2.6 %	2.5 %	2.5 %	2.6 %	2.5 %
30 June 2024	EUR	3.4 %	2.9 %	2.8 %	2.7 %	2.8 %	2.7 %

Methods used to measure the risk adjustment for non-financial risk

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is the compensation that is required for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of cash flows that arises from non-financial risk as the insurance contract is fulfilled. As the risk adjustment represents compensation for uncertainty, estimates are made on the degree of diversification benefits and expected favourable and unfavourable outcomes in a way that reflects the FBD Group's degree of risk aversion. The FBD Group estimates an adjustment for non-financial risk separately from all other estimates.

The risk adjustment is calculated at the entity level and then allocated down to each group of contracts in accordance with their risk profiles. A confidence level approach is used to derive the overall risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The FBD Group aim to target a risk adjustment within a range between the 75^th and 80^th percentiles. At year-end 2023, the risk adjustment was at the 80^th percentile, and remained at the 80^th percentile to date.

As the FBD Group is using the PAA method, a risk adjustment is only required for the LIC and not the LRC (unless there is an onerous group).

To determine the risk adjustment for non-financial risk for reinsurance contracts, the FBD Group will apply these techniques both gross and net of reinsurance and derive the amount of risk transferred to the reinsurer as the difference between the two results.

The methods and assumptions used to determine the risk adjustment for non-financial risk were not changed in 2024.

Uncertainties in impairment testing

The FBD Group has carried out impairment testing on tangible and intangible assets. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its value in use or its fair value less costs to sell. In the case of the Property, Plant and Equipment (excluding Owner Occupied Property which is held at revalued amount), policy administration system, Intangible Assets and Right of Use Assets there is no reliable estimate of the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the assets would take place and there are no direct cash-flows expected from the individual assets. These assets are an integral part of the FBD General Insurance business, therefore, the smallest group of assets that can be classified as a cash generating unit is the FBD General Insurance business.

The Value in Use cash flow projections are based on the quarterly forecast for 2024 approved by the Board in May 2024 and the five year strategic projections approved by the Board in quarter four 2023. The 2029 and 2030 figures are extrapolated assuming the performance in 2029 and 2030 are in line with 2028. The time period of six years used in the cash flow projections is less than the weighted average remaining useful life of the assets in the FBD General Insurance business being assessed. This projection and plan refresh represent management's best estimate of future underwriting profits and fee income for FBD.

General Insurance business projections factors in both past experience as well as expected future outcomes relative to market data and the strategy adopted by the Board. The underlying assumptions of these forecasts include average premium, number of policies written, claims frequency, claims severity, weather experience, commission rates, fee income charges and expenses. The average growth rate used for 2024 is 7%, the growth rate into 2025 is 5%, followed by a 4% growth rate from 2026 to 2028.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the half year ended 30 June 2024

Note 3 Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

The growth rate is assumed to be flat for later years. Future cash flows are discounted using an estimated weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 9.1% which is considered a reasonable estimate following the recent increase in risk free rates.

Sensitivity analysis was performed on the projections to allow for possible variations in the amount of the future cash flows and potential discount rate changes. The sensitivities include climate change scenarios, delayed benefits from the Judicial Council Guidelines, additional inflation in claims settlements, reduced growth rates and positive impacts of new initiatives.

The level of headroom has remained in line with year-end 2023, and in all scenarios run, the value in use of the cash generating unit exceeded the carrying value of the assets, demonstrating that no reasonably possible change in key assumptions would result in an impairment of the assets. The largest reduction in the level of headroom was from a climate change scenario.

Note 4 Finance income / (expense) recognised in comprehensive income

The FBD Group disaggregates finance income or expense on insurance contracts issued and reinsurance contracts held between income statement and OCI. The impact of changes in market interest rates on the value of the insurance liabilities are reflected in OCI in order to minimise accounting mismatches between the accounting for financial assets and insurance assets and liabilities.

The FBD Group adopts a conservative investment strategy to ensure that its technical provisions are matched by cash and fixed interest securities of low risk and similar duration. All of the FBD Group's fixed interest securities are classified as FVOCI whereby accumulated mark to market gains or losses are reclassified to the profit and loss account on liquidation.

The tables below detail:

• the element of interest accretion on the LIC from the prior reporting period; and

• the effect of changes in interest rates and other financial assumptions during the period on the finance income/(expense) recognised in comprehensive income.

Total investment return during the period is detailed in note 6 including the corresponding mark to market gains or losses on FVOCI recognised.

In monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

• All assets are allocated to reportable segments. Assets used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of activity by each reportable segment; and

• All liabilities are allocated to reportable segments. Liabilities for which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in proportion to segment assets.

The FBD Group's customer base is diverse and it has no reliance on any major customer Insurance risk is not concentrated on any area or on any one line of business.

The FBD Group's half yearly results are not subject to any significant impact arising from seasonality of operations.

Note 7 Income taxation charge

The effective tax rate for the period was 13.0% (30 June 2023: 15.6%) which is the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full year. The effective tax rate for the period was slightly higher than the standard Irish corporation tax rate of 12.5% primarily due to assumed higher disallowable expenses in the period.

Note 8 Earnings per €0.60 ordinary share

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the ordinary shareholders is based on the following data:

	€000s	€000s	€000s

	Cent	Cent	Cent
Basic earnings per share	79	91	194
Diluted earnings per share¹	77	89	190

¹ Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential vesting of share-based payments.

The 'A' ordinary shares of €0.01 each that are in issue have no impact on the earnings per share calculation. The 'A' ordinary shares of €0.01 each are non-voting. They are non-transferable except only to the Company. Other than a right to a return of paid up capital of €0.01 per 'A' ordinary share in the event of a winding up, the 'A' ordinary shares have no right to participate in the capital or the profits of the Company.

The below table reconciles the profit attributable to the parent entity for the year to the amounts used as the numerators in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the year and the comparative year including the individual effect of each class of instruments that affects earnings per share:

Lease liabilities	3,495	4,214	3,828
Subordinated debt	49,749	49,690	49,721

Equity and debt instruments at FVTPL (mandatory) have decreased by €12,424,000 since 31 December 2023 due to a €20,000,000 divestment from the portfolio offset by €7,576,000 in gains in the period.

Other receivables increased by €8,360,000 since 31 December 2023 due to higher prepayments and accrued income at the reporting date.

An ECL for 'Debt instruments at FVOCI' of €510,988 (30 June 2023: €928,000, 31 December 2023: €512,000) does not reduce the carrying amount of the asset in the statement of financial position, which remains at fair value. Instead an amount equal to the allowance that would arise if the assets were measured at amortised cost is recognised in OCI with a corresponding charge to provision for credit losses in the income statement.

An ECL of €142,000 (30 June 2023: €312,000, 31 December 2023: €142,000) has reduced the carrying value of 'Other receivables' and an ECL of €16,000 (30 June 2023: €12,000, 31 December 2023: €16,000), has reduced the carrying value of 'Loans'.

(b) Fair value measurement

The following table compares the fair value of financial instruments not held at fair value with the fair value of those assets and liabilities:

	Half year ended 30/06/24	Half year ended 30/06/24	Half year ended 30/06/23	Half year ended 30/06/23	Year ended 31/12/23	Year ended 31/12/23

Financial liabilities
Subordinated debt	47,094	49,749	45,484	49,690	46,868	49,721

The carrying amount of the following assets and liabilities is considered a reasonable approximation of their fair value:

• Cash and cash equivalents

• Deposits

• Other receivables

• Other payables

• Lease liabilities

Certain assets and liabilities are measured in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at fair value using a fair value hierarchy of valuation inputs. The following table provides an analysis of assets and liabilities that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

Level 1

Fair value measurements derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Cash and cash equivalents (Level 1) are valued using the latest available closing NAV of the Money Market Fund.

• Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income - quoted debt securities are fair valued using latest available closing bid price.

• Collective investment schemes, fair value through profit or loss (Level 1) are valued using the latest available closing NAV of the funds.

Level 2

Fair value measurements derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). There are no assets/liabilities deemed to be held at this level at end of the periods disclosed.

(b) Fair value measurement (continued)

Level 3

Fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Valuation techniques used are outlined below;

• Collective investment schemes, fair value through profit or loss (Infrastructure and Senior Private Debt funds) are valued using the most up-to-date valuations calculated by the fund administrator allowing for any additional investments made up until period end. These collective investment schemes are fund-of-funds and typically apply the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEV) as well as other industry guidance and standards. Valuations are subject to external audit at both the underlying fund and fund-of-funds level. It is not possible to provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs as this information is not provided by the underlying funds.

• Unquoted investments, fair value through profit or loss, are classified as Level 3 as they are not traded in an active market.

• Investment property and property held for own use were fair valued by independent external professional valuers at year end 2023 and they have confirmed these values remain reasonable. FBD Group occupied properties have been valued on a vacant possession basis applying hypothetical 10-year leases and assumptions of void and rent free periods, market rents, capital yields and purchase costs which are derived from comparable transactions and adjusted for property specific factors as determined by the valuer. FBD Group investment properties have been valued using the investment method based on the long leasehold interest in the subject property, the contracted values of existing tenancies, assumptions of void and rent free periods and market rents for vacant lots, and capital yields and purchase costs which are derived from comparable transactions and adjusted for property specific factors as determined by the valuer. The independent external valuers considered the impact of sustainability factors on the valuation of both the investment property and property held for own use, including physical / climate risk. The table below shows the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements of the properties.

APPENDIX

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APMs) (UNREVIEWED)

The FBD Group uses the following alternative performance measures: Loss ratio, expense ratio, combined operating ratio, actual investment return, net asset value per share, return on equity and gross written premium.

Loss ratio (LR), expense ratio (ER) and combined operating ratio (COR) are widely used as a performance measure by insurers, and give users of the financial statements an understanding of the underwriting performance of the entity. Undiscounted LR and undiscounted COR provide a view of the underwriting performance of the entity when discounting is removed. Investment return is used widely as a performance measure to give users of financial statements an understanding of the performance of an entity's investment portfolio. Net asset value per share (NAV) is a widely used performance measure which provides the users of the financial statements the book value per share. Return on equity (ROE) is also a widely used profitability ratio that measures an entity's ability to generate profits from its shareholder investments. Gross written premium is a component of insurance revenue and is widely used across the general insurance industry.

The calculation of the APMs is based on the following data:

Independent review report to FBD Holdings plc

Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed FBD Holdings plc's condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "interim financial statements") in the half yearly report of FBD Holdings plc for the six month period ended 30 June 2024 (the "period").

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 and the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019.

The interim financial statements, comprise:

• the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024;

• the condensed consolidated income statement and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period then ended;

• the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period then ended;

• the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; and

• the explanatory notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The interim financial statements included in the half yearly report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 and the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019.

As disclosed in note 3 to the interim financial statements, the financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the group is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' ("ISRE (Ireland) 2410") issued for use in Ireland. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We have read the other information contained in the half yearly report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (Ireland) 2410. However future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The half yearly report, including the interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half yearly report in accordance with the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 and the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019. In preparing the half yearly report including the interim financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements in the half yearly report based on our review. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions relating to going concern, is based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion paragraph of this report. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 and the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
