- Premium growth of 5.1% in local currency terms for the quarter and driven by Corporate and New Markets
- The technical result was DKK 721m compared with DKK 602m in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the combined ratio was 86.2
- The pre-tax profit for the full-year 2007 was DKK 3,109m, meeting our expectations for the year
The profit and adjusted capital trigger a total amount of DKK 2,561m being returned to shareholders, equivalent to DKK 38 per share or a total distribution of 113% of the profit for the year after tax. The total amount distributed reflects TrygVesta's strong capital position.
Expectations for 2008 include gross earned premium growth of 5% in local currency terms, a combined ratio before run-off of around 90 and pre-tax profit of DKK 2,500m. Inclusion of capital losses on equities up to 18 February 2008 would reduce the pre-tax profit to DKK 2,100m.
