• Strong growth across Savings and Insurance
• Operational result [1] of NOK 1,091 million, up by 16 per cent year-on-year
• Group profit [1] of NOK 1,586 million, reflecting continued growth and improved insurance result
• Annualised Return on Equity [1] of 19 per cent in the third quarter

"We're delivering a record-strong quarter as the business continues to grow by double digits. Profitability in the Insurance segment strengthened further during the quarter, with a combined ratio of 89 per cent, improving from 94 per cent in the third quarter of 2024.", says Odd Arild Grefstad.

"I'm proud to see our innovative and preventive concept `VEL', designed to help employees stay healthy, recover faster, and reduce long-term sick leave, now progressing from a pilot to full-scale implementation. VEL is now integrated into our disability insurance product. Rising disability rates are a pressing societal challenge that impact individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. We hope that VEL will make a positive contribution - both by helping people who need it, and reducing costs for society, companies and our own insurance business.", says Grefstad.

"We are delivering strong momentum across all business areas and are well positioned to reach our 2025 target. We look forward to sharing updated strategic and financial ambitions at our Capital Markets Day on 10 December.", adds Grefstad.

Strong Result Development Across the Business

Storebrand achieved a record-high operational result of NOK 1,091 million in the third quarter, up 16 per cent year-on-year, driven by strong performance in the Insurance segment. The financial result amounted to NOK 495 million in the third quarter. Group profit rose 8 per cent year-on-year from the third quarter last year to NOK 1,586 million.

Fee and administration income amounted to NOK 2,124 million in the third quarter, up from NOK 1,971 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in fees and administration income was driven by the savings segment, which recorded growth across all sub-segments.

Insurance premiums rose 20 per cent in the third quarter, fuelled by robust growth and repricing, especially within the Retail segment. The combined ratio improved to 89 per cent from 94 per cent in the third quarter last year. Storebrand exceeded NOK 10 billion in portfolio premiums. The market share in Norwegian retail P&C was 7.6 per cent, compared to 7.4 per cent in the last quarter [2].

Total assets under management stood at NOK 1,561 billion at the end of the third quarter compared to NOK 1,469 billion at year-end 2024 and NOK 1,507 billion at the end of the second quarter. The increase in the third quarter was driven by NOK 16 billion of net flows and positive market returns. In addition, the bank lending portfolio increased by NOK 2.9 billion during the quarter to NOK 95.3 billion. 

Strong balance sheet and increased return on equity

Annualised return on equity [1] reached 19 per cent for the period, reflecting both strong seasonal insurance result and a positive one-off item of NOK 70 million in the financial result.

Storebrand has a strong capital position reflected by a solvency ratio of 195 per cent at quarter-end, above the communicated 175 per cent threshold for overcapitalization. Storebrand has an approval from the Norwegian FSA to conduct NOK 1.5 billion in share buybacks for the full year of 2025, with NOK 342 million remaining to be completed during the fourth quarter.

The long-term ambition is to conduct annual share buybacks of NOK 1.5 billion, totalling NOK 12 billion until the end of 2030, on top of increasing annual dividends in the same period.

Storebrand will host a Capital Markets Day on the 10 December 2025 to provide a strategic update on the business and announce updated financial targets.
