Sampo has published a supplement to the demerger prospectus for Mandatum

Sampo has published a supplement to the demerger prospectus prepared and published by Sampo on behalf of Mandatum plc in order to carry out the partial demerger of Sampo plc and listing of Mandatum’s shares on Nasdaq Helsinki. The supplement document includes information on the sale and purchase agreement concerning certain of Sampo's assets, the Transitional Service Agreement between Sampo and Mandatum, the establishment of Mandatum plc's Remuneration and Audit Committees, as well as continuation of the distribution partnership between Mandatum and Danske Bank and a change to the expected management team. The Finnish language version of the supplement has been approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority. The Finnish-language supplement and its unofficial English translation are available, together with the previously published demerger prospectus and supplements and their unofficial English translations at .

The Annual General Meeting of Sampo plc, held on 17 May 2023, approved the Board’s proposal to separate Mandatum from Sampo Group through a partial demerger. In the demerger, all of the shares in Mandatum Holding Ltd and related assets and liabilities will transfer without a liquidation procedure to Mandatum plc. As demerger consideration, Sampo shareholders would receive one new share in Mandatum plc, the company to be incorporated in the demerger on the effective date of the demerger, which is expected to be 1 October 2023, for each existing series A or series B share in Sampo plc.

Sampo Oyj (Buy, TP: EUR48.00) - Pricing power remains strong

Helped by strong growth in both Hastings and recently acquired Topdanmark, Sampo reported PTP 11% higher YOY in Q3. Underwriting performance continues to be strong in Hastings and If P&C, where the underlying claims ratio improved 0.3%-points YOY. We have made limited 2025–2026e EPS changes in light of the report. We reiterate our BUY and EUR48 target price.

Consolidating forces

A benign quarter without major weather events should lead to strong YOY improvement in earnings across the Nordic non-life sector, helped by favourable financial markets and the ongoing momentum from multiple rounds of premium price rises. Industry consolidation continued with the acquisition of Topdanmark by Sampo, set to be completed by 18 October. The transaction should lead to increased consolidation, promoting rational market behaviour in Denmark. Based on a growing discount to peers, we hi...

Sampo Oyj (Buy, TP: EUR47.00) - Staying ahead of claims inflation

Q2 PTP was EUR444m, up 22% YOY, driven by rebounding financial markets and strong insurance revenue growth. If P&C’s underlying claims ratio continues to improve, and repricing and stable customer retention yielded gross written premium (GWP) growth of 6.7% YOY. The offer to acquire Topdanmark has received all necessary regulatory approval, and we still view a transaction as favourable for Sampo. We have raised our 2025–2026e EPS by ~1% on strong growth, and reiterate our BUY and EUR47 target pr...

Seeing the effects of repricing

Warm weather in the quarter, albeit with periods of heavy rainfall, should support seasonally low claims, while we expect to see the results of the strong premium repricing since H2 2023. Stable interest rates in most markets and solid equity performance QOQ should further support Q2 earnings. Sampo is our Nordic non-life top pick, following its long-awaited bid for the remaining shares in Topdanmark.
