RSA Insurance Group Limited (the Company) is incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. The Company's immediate parent company is 2283485 Alberta Limited. The Company's ultimate parent company and controlling party is Intact Financial Corporation (IFC).
RSA Insurance Group Limited and its subsidiaries (known as the Group or RSA) operate in the UK, Ireland and Continental Europe. Several of the Group's subsidiaries are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority.
The principal activity of the Group is the transaction of insurance and related financial services.
In the UK, RSA currently offers predominately commercial lines insurance including specialty commercial lines insurance, as well as personal property and pet insurance, but is in the process of repositioning to become a leading UK commercial and specialty lines insurer.
In 2023, the Group made the decision to exit the UK Personal lines market (Motor, Home and Pet), including the announcement of the sale of its direct Home and Pet operations to Admiral Group plc, which closed on 31 March 2024, and its decision to transfer the Home and Pet partnerships to other parties or to allow them to expire over time.
Also in 2023, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire the commercial lines broker business of Direct Line Insurance Group (the DLG acquisition), increasing its market share in the domestic commercial lines market. The NIG and Farmweb brands were acquired through the DLG acquisition. The operational transfer completed on 1 May 2024 and the transfer of policy renewals and writing of new business started in June and July 2024 respectively.
RSA is also a specialist insurer largely in the London Market, currently distributing through brokers under the RSA brand.
In Ireland, RSA holds a top six position in the multi-line insurance market, distributing through 123.ie (a direct-to-consumer Personal lines brand), affinity partnerships and brokers. In addition, RSA is Ireland's largest commercial wind energy insurer.
In Europe, RSA operates within France, Belgium, Netherlands and Spain as a commercial lines insurer distributing under the RSA brand via brokers.
In April 2025 the Group announced the rebrand of RSA, NIG and FarmWeb to Intact Insurance that is occurring in phases through to 31 March 2026. Further information on the rebrand is provided in note 8.2 - Trade names - rebrand.
RSA also provides reinsurance to other companies within the IFC group and has quota share arrangements with Unifund Assurance Company (Unifund) and Belair Insurance Company Inc. (Belair), under which the insurance risk for a proportion of the business of those companies is transferred to the Group. Further information is provided in note 19 - Related party transactions.
The Group reports a profit before tax of £80m for the six month period ended 30 June 2025 (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £150m). Net written premiums1 for the six month period ended 30 June 2025 are £1,706m (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £2,147m) and n et assets at 30 June 2025 are £2,703m (30 June 2024: £2,767m).
Profit before tax of £80m consists of £120m underwriting result (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £146m ), investment result of £126m (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £123m), £(16)m of central costs (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £(8)m), and £(150)m of other charges (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £(111)m).
The financial results for the six month period ended 30 June 2025 reflect the process of repositioning the UK business to commercial and specialty lines insurance and include £(79)m of Integration and restructuring costs (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £(75)m). During the six month period ended 30 June 2024, Other net (losses) gains includes an £85m gain related to the sale of the UK direct Home and Pet operations. Further information is provided in note 14.1 - Components of other net (losses) gains.
Some of these measures are alternative performance measures (APMs). Refer to note 20 - Alternative performance measures for a reconciliation of these measures to the interim condensed consolidated income statement, and to Our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) below for further information.
The Group paid an interim ordinary dividend of £160m to 2283485 Alberta Limited during the period.
O u r KPIs
The Group uses both IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures (APMs) to assess performance, including common insurance industry metrics. Refer to note 20 - Alternative performance measures for a reconciliation of these measures to the interim condensed consolidated income statement.
The KPIs most relevant to the financial performance of the Group are as follows:
Net written premiums1 £1,706m ( six month period ended 30 June 2024: £2,147m): premiums incepted in the period, irrespective of whether they have been paid, less the amount shared with reinsurers. They represent how much premium the Group retains for assuming risk. The Group targets growth that does not compromise underwriting performance.
Underwriting result1 £120m ( six month period ended 30 June 2024: £146m). Net earned premium and other operating income less net claims and underwriting and policy acquisition costs. The Group aims to provide competitive pricing to customers that delivers a sustainable ongoing underwriting profit for the Group.
Profit before tax £80m (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £150m) : net profit or loss generated before taxes have been deducted. This is a key statutory measure of the earnings performance of the Group. The Group seeks to maximise its profit before tax.
The Group continues to assess its principal risks and uncertainties and how these are managed. Any update to the risk management information disclosed in notes 9 and 11 of the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts is provided in the below notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
1 Net written premiums and the underwriting result are APMs. For further information refer to note 20 for reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure.

The Company is an indirect subsidiary of IFC. Its parent is 2283485 Alberta Limited (a Canadian incorporated company), a wholly owned subsidiary of IFC, the ultimate controlling party. It operates in the UK, Ireland and Continental Europe.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's significant operating subsidiaries are listed in Appendix A of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. These interim condensed financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 were approved by the board of directors on 4 March 2025 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The independent auditor's report on the Group accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 is unqualified, does not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and does not include a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The registered office of the Company is Floor 8, 22 Bishopsgate, London, EC2N 4BQ, United Kingdom.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the UK. They were authorised for issuance in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 5 August 2025.
These interim consolidated financial statements are condensed financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.
The Group presents its interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position broadly in order of liquidity.
Except where otherwise stated, all figures included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of pounds sterling (£m).
General insurance business is seasonal in nature. While Insurance revenue net of Expense from reinsurance contracts is generally stable from period to period, insurance service results are influenced by weather conditions which may vary significantly between reporting periods.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In adopting the going concern basis, the Board have reviewed the Group's ongoing commitments over the next twelve months. The Board's assessment included review of the Group's strategic plans and latest forecasts, capital position and liquidity including on demand capital funding arrangements with IFC. The risk profile, both current and emerging, has been considered, as well as the implications for capital. These assessments include sensitivity analysis and stress testing and scenario analysis on forward-looking capital projections, assessing a combined 1-in-10 year market risk shock, a 1-in-20 year catastrophe shock, and reduction of longer-term underwriting profitability. Key risk indicators demonstrate that the risk appetite is aligned to the available capital. Risk management strategies are in place to assess and mitigate climate risk, with stress and scenario testing and climate scenario analysis informing the Group's policies and standards, pricing, risk selection and reinsurance. The Board have considered the impact of events after the balance sheet date, with none identified which could impact the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
Based on this review no material uncertainties that would require disclosure have been identified in relation to the ability of the Group to remain a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of the approval of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of financial instruments on initial recognition is normally the transaction price, being the value of the consideration. After initial recognition, the fair value of financial instruments is based on available information and categorised according to a three-level fair value hierarchy.
The three-level fair value hierarchy comprises:
i. Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
ii. Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from data 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); and
iii. Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include significant inputs for the asset or liability valuation that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market (Level 1) if quoted prices for that financial instrument are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.
For Level 1 and Level 2 investments, the Group uses prices received from external providers who calculate these prices from quotes available at the reporting date for the particular investment being valued. For investments that are actively traded, the Group determines whether the prices meet the criteria for classification as a Level 1 valuation. The price provided is classified as a Level 1 valuation when it represents the price at which the investment traded at the reporting date, taking into account the frequency and volume of trading of the individual investment, together with the spread of prices that are quoted at the reporting date for such trades. Typically, investments in frequently traded government debt would meet the criteria for classification in the Level 1 category. Where the prices provided do not meet the criteria for classification in the Level 1 category, the prices are classified in the Level 2 category. Market traded securities only reflect the possible impact of climate change to the extent that this is built into the market price at which securities are trading.
In certain circumstances, the Group does not receive pricing information from an external provider for its financial investments. In such circumstances the Group calculates fair value, which may use input parameters that are not based on observable market data. Unobservable inputs are based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions for the same instrument nor based on available market data. In these cases, judgement is required to establish fair values. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
Derivative financial instruments are financial contracts whose fair value is determined on a market basis by reference to underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument or other indices.
Cash and cash equivalents, loans, other assets and other liabilities and issued debt
For cash and cash equivalents, loans, commercial paper, other assets, liabilities, accruals and issued debt, carrying amounts are reasonable approximations of their fair values. Loans represent direct lending for investment purposes.
The principal investments classified as Level 3, and the valuation techniques applied to them, are described below.
Investment property
Investment property valuations are carried out in accordance with the latest edition of the Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and are undertaken by independent RICS registered valuers. Valuations are based on the comparative method with reference to sales of other comparable buildings and take into account the nature, location and condition of the specific property, factoring in the occupational lease terms and tenant covenant strength as appropriate. The valuations also include an income approach using discounted future cash flows, which uses unobservable inputs, such as discount rates, rental values, rental growth rates, vacancy rates and void or rent free periods expected after the end of each lease.
Debt and equity private funds are principally valued at the proportion of the Group's holding of the Net Asset Value (NAV) reported by the investment vehicle. Several procedures are employed to assess the reasonableness of the NAV reported by the fund, including obtaining and reviewing periodic and audited financial statements and estimating fair value based on a discounted cash flow model that adds spreads for credit and illiquidity to a risk-free discount rate. If necessary, the Group will adjust the fund's reported NAV to more appropriately represent the fair value of its interest in the investment.
The items presented in the following table are measured in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. The table does not include financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value for which the carrying value is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

1 The Group's investments in financial assets classified at level 3 in the hierarchy are primarily investments in various private fund structures investing in debt instruments where the valuation includes estimates of the credit spreads on the underlying holdings. The estimates of the credit spread are based upon market observable credit spreads for what are considered to be assets with similar credit risk. Reasonably possible alternative valuations for these instruments have been determined using an increase of 50bps in the credit spread used in the valuation (31 December 2024: 50bps). Reasonably possible alternative assumptions for investment property have been determined using an increase of 50bps in the equivalent yield (31 December 2024: 50bps).

8.2 Trade names - rebrand
In April 2025, the Group announced the rebrand of RSA, NIG and FarmWeb to Intact Insurance that is occurring in phases through to 31 March 2026. As a result, the Group reviewed prospectively the useful life of trade names related to the DLG acquisition. These trade names are expected to be fully amortised over the next nine months from the balance sheet date.
For the six month period ended 30 June 2025, the Group recorded accelerated amortisation of £5m and integration costs of £4m relating to the rebrand. These costs are recognised in Integration and restructuring costs.

The dated guaranteed subordinated GBP notes were issued on 10 October 2014 at a fixed rate of 5.125%. The notes, with a remaining nominal value of £120m, have a maturity date of 10 October 2045. The Group has the right to redeem the notes in whole on specific dates from 10 October 2025 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest. If the notes are not repaid on that date, the rate of interest will be reset to 3.852% plus the appropriate benchmark gilt for a further five year period.
The subordinated guaranteed US$ bonds were issued in 1999 and have a nominal value of $9m and a redemption date of 15 October 2029. The rate of interest payable on the bonds is 8.95%.
The bonds and the notes are contractually subordinated to all other creditors of the Group such that in the event of a winding up or of bankruptcy, they would be repaid only after the claims of all other creditors have been met.
The Group has the option to defer interest payments on the bonds and notes but has to date not exercised this right.
There have been no defaults on any bonds or notes during the period.
The issued share capital of the parent company is fully paid and is summarised in the following table:

17.1 Reportable segments
The Group's primary operating segments comprise UK, International and Central Functions. The primary operating segments are based on geography and, during 2025, were engaged in providing personal and commercial general insurance services. During 2023, the Group announced its exit from the UK Personal lines general insurance market. This forms part of the UK operating segment. Refer to note 5 - Business combinations and disposals in the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 for further information on this transaction. International comprises operating segments based in Ireland and Europe. Central Functions includes the Group's internal reinsurance function, which includes reinsurance with the wider IFC group. Each operating segment is managed by individuals who are accountable to the Chief Executive and the Board of Directors, who together are the chief operating decision makers in respect of the operating activities of the Group. The UK is the Group's country of domicile and one of its principal markets.
The Group uses the following key measures to assess the performance of its operating segments:
i. Net written premiums
ii. Underwriting result
Net written premiums is a key measure of revenue used in internal reporting.
Underwriting result is the key internal measure of profitability of the operating segments.
Net written premiums and underwriting result are APMs. Refer to note 20 for a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure.
Transfers or transactions between segments are entered into under normal commercial terms and conditions that would also be available to unrelated third parties.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTORS IN RESPECT OF THE HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with the UK-adopted IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group.
The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by:
a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and
b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last annual report that could do so.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO RSA INSURANCE GROUP LIMITED (the 'Company' and 'Group')
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 which comprises the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the interim condensed consolidated income statement, the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE) issued by the Financial Reporting Council. 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 (UK) 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.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
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 management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management 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 this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
Responsibilities of the directors
The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information
In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
