82 Overview Hannover Re Group Property & Casualty R/I Life & Health R/I Investment mgmt. Risk mgmt. Capital mgmt. Q1-3/2015 Outlook Appendix Rationale for the 2015 profit guidance Long-term success in a competitive business We expect a further increase in profits from our Life & Health business group We expect a largely unchanged technical profit from our Property & Casualty business Continued high-quality portfolio due to selective underwriting and concentration on renewal business Due to IFRS accounting constraints it will be difficult to further increase the confidence level of our loss reserves, which may result in a positive effect on our C/R Improved terms and conditions of our retrocessions should have a positive effect on our net margin We expect to achieve a largely stable absolute NII on the back of an increased investment volume (from a further positive cash flow) despite a deteriorating RoI We expect to maintain our competitive advantage of low administrative expenses Subject to no major distortions in capital markets and/or major losses in 2015 not exceeding approx. EUR 690 m. We are confident of achieving the guidance 80

88 Details on reserve review by Towers Watson The scope of Towers Watson s work was to review certain parts of the held loss and loss adjustment expense reserve, net of outwards reinsurance, from Hannover Rück SE s consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as at each 31 December from 2009 to 2013, and the implicit redundancy margin, for the non-life business of Hannover Rück SE. Towers Watson concludes that the reviewed loss and loss adjustment expense reserve, net of reinsurance, less the redundancy margin is reasonable in that it falls within Towers Watson s range of reasonable estimates. Life reinsurance and health reinsurance business are excluded from the scope of this review. Towers Watson s review of non-life reserves as at 31 December 2013 covered 99.1% / 99.1% of the gross / net held non-life reserves of 18.8 billion and 17.7 billion respectively. Together with life reserves of gross 2.8 billion and net 2.6 billion, the total balance sheet reserves amount to 21.7 billion gross and 20.3 billion net. The results shown in this presentation are based on a series of assumptions as to the future. It should be recognised that actual future claim experience is likely to deviate, perhaps materially, from Towers Watson s estimates. This is because the ultimate liability for claims will be affected by future external events; for example, the likelihood of claimants bringing suit, the size of judicial awards, changes in standards of liability, and the attitudes of claimants towards the settlement of their claims. The results shown in Towers Watson s reports are not intended to represent an opinion of market value and should not be interpreted in that manner. The reports do not purport to encompass all of the many factors that may bear upon a market value. Towers Watson s analysis was carried out based on data as at evaluation dates for each 31 December from 2009 to Towers Watson s analysis may not reflect development or information that became available after the valuation dates and Towers Watson s results, opinions and conclusions presented herein may be rendered inaccurate by developments after the valuation dates. As is typical for reinsurance companies, the claims reporting can be delayed due to late notifications by some cedants. This increases the uncertainty in the estimates. Hannover Rück SE has asbestos, environmental and other health hazard (APH) exposures which are subject to greater uncertainty than other general liability exposures. Towers Watson s analysis of the APH exposures assumes that the reporting and handling of APH claims is consistent with industry benchmarks. However, there is wide variation in estimates based on these benchmarks. Thus, although Hannover Rück SE s held reserves show some redundancy compared to the indications, the actual losses could prove to be significantly different to both the held and indicated amounts. Towers Watson has not anticipated any extraordinary changes to the legal, social, inflationary or economic environment, or to the interpretation of policy language, that might affect the cost, frequency, or future reporting of claims. In addition, Towers Watson s estimates make no provision for potential future claims arising from causes not substantially recognised in the historical data (such as new types of mass torts or latent injuries, terrorist acts), except in so far as claims of these types are included incidentally in the reported claims and are implicitly developed. In accordance with its scope Towers Watson s estimates are on the basis that all of Hannover Rück SE s reinsurance protection will be valid and collectable. Further liability may exist for any reinsurance that proves to be irrecoverable. Towers Watson s estimates are in Euros based on the exchange rates provided by Hannover Rück SE as at each 31 December evaluation date. However, a substantial proportion of the liabilities is denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent that the assets backing the reserves are not held in matching currencies, future changes in exchange rates may lead to significant exchange gains or losses. Towers Watson has not attempted to determine the quality of Hannover Rück SE s current asset portfolio, nor has Towers Watson reviewed the adequacy of the balance sheet provisions except as otherwise disclosed herein. In its review, Towers Watson has relied on audited and unaudited data and financial information supplied by Hannover Rück SE and its subsidiaries, including information provided orally. Towers Watson relied on the accuracy and completeness of this information without independent verification. Except for any agreed responsibilities Towers Watson may have to Hannover Rück SE, Towers Watson does not assume any responsibility and will not accept any liability to any person for any damages suffered by such person arising out of this commentary or references to Towers Watson in this document.
