DB Insurance (005830.KS): Earnings and dividend both very good

  • -  4Q17 saw net income of KRW96.8bn (+90.3% YoY), which was higher than the consensus of KRW88.2bn. Despite a marketing cost hike caused by the change of the CI design, the long-term loss ratio improved considerably (-3.8% YoY), which led to an improvement in the combined ratio (-0.5%p YoY ) .

  • -  The loss ratio in December fell by 4%p YoY. The general and long-term loss ratios respectively declined by 19.85%p and 5.6%p YoY while the long-term risk loss ratio fell by 11.6%p YoY. Indemnity policy renewals helped improve risk loss ratios, and fewer business days (-3 YoY) also helped.

  • -  The December expense ratio climbed by 4% YoY to 24.8% on a marketing cost hike (KRW10bn) stemming from the change of the CI design and an additional amortization of deferred acquisition expense. Even so, the combined ratio improved by 0.1%p YoY as lower loss ratios helped offset the impact.
