Zavarovalnica Triglav 1Q17: Strong top-line, slight miss on bottom line, expecting another hefty dividend.

​GWP increased by hefty 8.5% YoY in 1Q17, above our expectations and with strength across the board. Expense ratio improved from 29.7% to 27.9% while investment result also significantly improved. Nevertheless profit is down by 1.5% YoY, which is slightly below our expectations. Namely net claims matched NPE. On the other hand it seems Triglavs extremely high dividend yield will repeat. All in all we see no reason for now to change our stance – target price and recommendation remain unchanged.
