Our approach to the market, which is focused on flexibility, expertise and technology, has enabled us to offer easy, fast and highly personalised insurance services. This has allows us to further consolidate our positioning as a key player in specialty and parametric risks, serving SMEs and professionals. In addition, our strong capital position and constant technical profitability permit us to distribute our first dividend.”

STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE

The achievement of all our strategic objectives as announced to the market confirms the soundness of our business plan as well as the management team's strong ability to deliver. In particular:

- Our insurance portfolio is now significantly diversified. REVO has consistently expanded the types of cover in all lines of business, with growing market interest in parametric solutions (20,000 policies sold during the year);

- The OverX platform has proved to be the key competitive factor for business growth. Following the reinforcement of its digital infrastructure, the tool's features have been expanded, providing an offer that is increasingly tailored to the needs of intermediaries and final clients;

- REVO’s distribution network has proved itself to be able to support business growth. During the year, the exposure to the Broker channel and intermediaries operating through REVO Underwriting (Group brokerage company) increased;

- The teams are now complete in terms of key people. Recruitment continued in all business areas (38 additional HC), with a specific focus on Underwriting, Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence, further developing the Group's range of expertise in areas of strategic development in the coming years;

- The S&P outlook was upgraded to BBB+ positive, reflecting the Company's financial strength and profitability in a context of volumes growth;

- An "EE (strong)" rating was obtained from Standard Ethics, certifying the strong ESG orientation of the project, characterised by the relevance given to the governance structure, widespread transparency at every level of the organisation and a marked sensitivity to the social and environmental dimension;

- The exposure of investments to Italian risk was reduced, although the contribution of financial results exceeded plan expectations. The portfolio is highly liquid and now more diversified.

In 2023 the Company also implemented measures that are instrumental to the analysis and study of the strategic initiatives that will be consolidated beginning in 2024:

- The launch of the authorisation process for the opening of a Spanish branch, REVO Iberia. Through this operation the Group aims to diversify internationally, harnessing the strong operational synergies that will optimise investments already made in the development of OverX and the expansion of the distribution network. In the medium term, the initiative aims to ensure a comprehensive offer in the Iberian market similar to the Italian, with a GWP target of over €60 million in the medium term;

- The start of projects in the field of Artificial Intelligence, with the progressive automation of some business process tasks to further increase the level of operational efficiency;

- The launch of Italy’s first blockchain solution for managing Surety Bond, which allows the policyholder to benefit from a reduction in limits and accordingly ease their commitments.

KEY PLAN PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Following the adoption of the new IFRS 17 accounting standard, it should be noted that the overall impact for REVO from an economic and financial standpoint is limited, partly due to the adoption of the simplified PAA (Premium Allocation Approach), the characteristics of which significantly reduce the differences compared to the previous IFRS 4 standard.

As at 31 December 2023, the business mix of the insurance portfolio shows greater diversification than previous quarters, which is fully in line with REVO’s target of becoming the player of reference in the SMEs and professionals segment.

Insurance revenues from insurance contracts issued, presented in accordance with IFRS 17, reflect the same contribution from the individual lines. From a technical standpoint, the gross loss ratio for the period was 42.0%. The increase on the same period in the previous year (20.3%) reflects both the natural increase due to the greater diversification of the business(3) and the presence of extreme events in Emilia-Romagna and Northern Italy, the negative impact of which on the operating result, net of reinsurance, is approximately €5.9 million (approximately 4 percentage points in terms of net loss ratio).

There was also a steady reduction in the operating cost incidence (around -8.5 percentage points down on the previous year), along with a slight improvement in the incidence of intermediation costs (around -1.5 percentage points). As a result, the COR ratio(4) for the period stood at 85.8% compared with 75.7% in 2022. It is notable that since the start of the project, total IT investments amount to some €17.9 million, which is significantly higher than initial plan estimates. The opportunities offered by the quick appearance of new technologies that can be adopted as part of the development of the OverX platform have enabled REVO to implement functional solutions to increase the Company operational scalability, with consequent benefits in terms of operating profitability.

Finally, it is worth to highlight the positive contribution of the investment portfolio, with a result of €3.6(5) million compared to €1.9 million in 2022, and with a further reduction of the overall exposure to Italy (37.7% compared to 51.8% at 31 December 2022) in a favourable market context and positive net inflows for the Company. The adjusted operating profit in 2023 amounted to €21.3 million:

The adjusted net profit for the period was €14.8 million:

The main IFRS 4 indicators are summarised below for completeness of information:

- Adjusted operating profit of €21.0 million

- Adjusted net profit of €14.8 million;

- Net loss ratio of 38.4%;

- Net COR of 85.7%.
