Zavarovalnica Triglav 1Q18: Strong start of the year with EUR 23.3m of profit.

GWP increased by 4.3% YoY in 1Q18 as well as NPE. More importantly strong growth dynamic is still present across all segments and countries, life in Slovenia and Montegnegro being an exception. On the other hand net claims increased by 2.3%, therefore claims ratio significantly improved vs 1Q17, namely by 3.6 p.p. Combined ratio (non-life) is at 88.5%. Net profit surged by 5.3% YoY to EUR 23.3m while solvency ratio remains strong with groups at 222%. For now we are sticking with our valuation of EUR 36 per share, albeit some upside risk has emerged due to 1Q18 earnings beat. Upside narrowed and seems limited, but note the management proposal of EUR 2.5 per share (yielding 7.2% gross). Consequently for now buy recommendation remains intact.
