"Groupama posted a strong growth in income thanks to the mobilisation of its
elected representatives and its employees. This mobilisation is the fruit of
the high standard that we all share regarding the way in which we practise our
profession as a mutual insurer close to its customers and present locally in
each region. At the same time, we improved our financial flexibility with a
successful launch of our mutual certificates and we invest in the future by
being open to new practices and win-win agreements with top-tier partners",
stated Jean-Yves Dagès, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Groupama SA.

"We will continue to follow our strategic roadmap, which means tirelessly
reinforcing our economic performance in order to promote our mutualist values
of proximity, trust and innovative services by investing in the technologies
of the future, so as to keep in line with our customers' daily lives. In doing
so, we develop our own know-how and tie partnerships with leading companies in
order to create innovative and differentiating customer experience", added
Thierry Martel, Chief Executive Officer of Groupama SA.

Paris, 17 March 2016 - The board of directors of Groupama S.A. met on 16 March
2016, under the chairmanship of Jean-Yves Dagès, and approved the Group's
combined financial statements and the consolidated accounts of Groupama SA for
fiscal year 2015.

The Group's combined financial statements include all business of the Group as
a whole (i.e. the activity of the regional mutuals and of the subsidiaries
consolidated within Groupama SA). The consolidated accounts of Groupama SA
include the business of all subsidiaries as well as internal reinsurance
(nearly 35% of the premium income of the regional mutuals ceded to Groupama
SA).

The analysis below focuses on the combined scope. The key figures of the
consolidated scope are presented in the notes.



o Business activity focused on profitable growth

At 31 December 2015, Groupama's combined premium income stood at €13.7
billion, a +0.9% increase on a like-for-like basis.

In property and casualty insurance, the Group posted premium income growth of
+0.8% to €7.1 billion at 31 December 2015 thanks to a selective underwriting
policy and targeted tariff increases.

Premium income from life and health insurance was €6.3 billion at 31 December
2015, up +1.1%. This change was due in particular to the strong growth in the
group health insurance business both in France and internationally and the
turnaround in the savings/pension business in France with premium income
stabilising over the period after several years of decline.

Groupama's combined premium income by business activity at 31 December 2015

€ million 31/12/2015 Like-for-like change (%)
Property and casualty insurance 7,141 +0.8 %
Life and health insurance 6,324 +1.1 %
Financial and banking businesses 280 +0.1 %
GROUP TOTAL 13,745 +0.9 %



o In France

Insurance premium income in France at 31 December 2015 was €10.7 billion.

In property and casualty insurance, premium income rose +1.1% to €5.4 billion.
This reflects notably the +1.1% rise in insurance for individuals and
professionals to €3.2 billion (or almost 60% of written premiums in property
and casualty insurance). It benefited from the growth in the home insurance
(+2.6%) and professional risks (+5.9%) segments, which eased the slight
decline in premium income in motor insurance (-0.4%). The Group's specialised
subsidiaries (assistance, legal protection, credit insurance) continued their
development (+9.7%).

In life and health insurance, premium income at €5.3 billion was up +0.7%
compared with 31 December 2014. This resulted mainly from the increase in the
health insurance business (+2.2%), supported by strong growth in group health
(+14.2%). On this business line, group health market, Groupama has more than
50,000 new "ANI" policies. In individual savings/pensions, premium income was
stable, as the decrease in business in euro-denominated savings (-2.9%) was
offset by the sharp rise in unit-linked policies (+7.3%). Unit-linked premium
income in individual savings/pensions represented 31.5% of gross inflows at
the end of 2015, outpacing the market (20.9%, source: FFSA). After taking into
account arbitrages (euro contracts for unit-linked contracts), "Fourgous"
transfers, and inflows in 2015, the share of unit-linked outstandings in
individual savings reserves was 20.7% versus 17.6% at 31 December 2014.

o International

The Group is present in 11 countries around the world, mainly in Europe. It
also has growth opportunities in Turkey and in China, country in which it
ranks second among foreign damage insurers with €235 million in premium
income^[1]. At 31 December 2015, international premium income totalled €2.8
billion, up +1.3% compared with 31 December 2014.

Premium income from life and health insurance increased +3.7% to €983 million,
driven by strong growth in group insurance (+7.0%), particularly for the group
protection (+10.2%) and group health (+13.3%) segments. In individual
savings/pensions, premium income increased +2.8%, pertaining mainly to Italy.

Property and casualty insurance premium income totalled €1.8 billion at 31
December 2015, a stable level compared with 2014. The growth in the
agricultural insurance segment in Turkey and the fleet segment in Hungary
offset the decline in motor insurance (-4.4%), under the effect of difficult
macroeconomic or market conditions in certain countries (Italy, Greece, and
Turkey in particular).

Premium income in main international countries at 31 December 2015

€ million 31/12/2015 Like-for-like change (%)
Italy 1,600 +0.2%
Turkey 411 +5.1%
Hungary 304 -2.8%
Romania 181 +13.2%
Other countries 274 0%
International insurance 2,770 +1.3%

equity-method entity in Groupama's combined financial statements

o Financial and banking businesses

The Group's premium income was €280 million at 31 December 2015, of which €154
million from Groupama Banque, €121 million from Groupama Asset Management and
€5 million from Groupama Epargne Salariale.



o An active partnership policy

Groupama established major partnerships in 2015:

o Amaline and DIAC, the Renault Group's financing and services subsidiary,
teamed up in October 2015 to offer motor insurance to buyers of a new or
used car within the Renault and Dacia networks.

o On 4 January 2016, Groupama and Orange announced the beginning of
exclusive negotiations to enter into a partnership to develop a new
banking model that will allow Groupama to strengthen its online banking
activity and Orange to complete its diversification into banking services.
At the end of these negotiations, Orange could own 65% of Groupama
Banque.

The Group has also built numerous partnerships to support the collaborative
economy and innovation. For French VSEs and SMEs, Groupama Banque and Gan
Assurances established partnerships with the crowdfunding platforms Unilend
and Lendopolis respectively. To facilitate the management of motor claims,
Amaline signed a partnership with Coyote that enables its policyholders
equipped with a Coyote S to use video in the event of a car accident. In the
agricultural area, Groupama joined forces with Airinov, a leader in drones for
agriculture, to participate in the development of drones, risk protection and
deployment of new services for farmers. Groupama also teamed up with
WeFarmUp.com, the world's first farm equipment sharing platform. With this
partnership, Groupama wishes to provide its expertise as an insurer to both
owners and lessee to lease their equipment with confidence.



o Sharp increase in net income

Economic operating income increased 26% to €163 million at 31 December 2015,
despite two significant adverse factors: the low-interest rate environment and
changes in legislative environment for motor third-party liability in Turkey.

Economic operating income from insurance amounted to +€270 million in 2015
(+42% over the period).

o In life and health assurance, it reached +€152 million in 2015, up +€74
million compared with 2014 (+€61 million in France and +€13 million
internationally). This growth in France came mainly from the active
transformation of portfolios in recent years, particularly the development
of unit-linked contracts and cost control.

o In property and casualty insurance, economic operating income amounted to
+€118 million compared with +€112 million for the previous period. The
non-life net combined ratio was 99.2% in 2015, stable compared with 2014
(+0.2 points).

In France, it was 97.9% and improved by 0.5 points compared with 2014. This is
explained by the reduction in severe and climate-related claims and the
stability of the attritional loss experience.

Internationally, the non-life net combined ratio stood at 104.4%, up +3.0
points compared with 31 December 2014. Much of this change (+5.7 points) came
from the sharp deterioration of the motor third-party liability market in
Turkey, related to changes in legislative environment, thus masking an
improvement in the combined ratio in Italy (-3.2 points) and Greece (-3.1
points).

The Group continues to control its general expenses, contained at a level
equivalent in absolute value to 2014, while increasing its investments
particularly in digital to cope with the rapid changes in technology and
customer expectations. Groupama has thus reduced its annual costs by €400
million since the beginning of 2012.

Banking and financial businesses contributed €9 million to economic operating
income, while holding companies (which bear the Group's holding and financing
costs) contributed -€117 million in economic operating income at 31 December
2015.

The transition from economic operating income to net income incorporates
non-recurring items of €205 million at 31 December 2015 versus €128 million at
31 December 2014. These non-recurring items mainly correspond to the capital
gains realised with the divestments in Véolia Environnement and Mediobanca and
the favourable effect of the change in fair value of assets recognised through
profit or loss.

The Group's overall net income increased sharply (+43%) to €368 million at 31
December 2015.



o A solid balance sheet

At 31 December 2015, insurance investments amounted to €83.9 billion, and
unrealised gains totalled €10.1 billion, including €7.3 billion on bonds, €0.7
billion on equities, and €2.1 billion on real estate assets.

The Group continued its asset derisking policy particularly by reducing its
equity portfolio, which, net of hedges, represented 5.0% of the asset
portfolio^[2] at 31 December 2015 versus 5.3% at 31 December 2014.

The Group's shareholders' equity totalled €8.2 billion at 31 December 2015, up
+2% compared with 31 December 2014.

During 2015, the Group strengthened its financial flexibility.

o Groupama is the first mutual insurer to have issued mutual certificates
"Certificats Mutualistes", a new source of funding dedicated to joint
mutualist organisations, created by the law on the Social and Solidarity
Economy of 31 July 2014. Groupama Rhône Alpes Auvergne's launch of the
first issue in December 2015 was very satisfactory. All of the Group's
regional mutuals will start issuing mutual certificates in June 2016.

o As at 31 December 2015, dated subordinated debt amounted to €750 million
versus €791 million as at 31 December 2014. This decrease came from the
early redemption of the 2005 perpetual subordinated bond (TSDI) for its
outstanding amount of €41 million. Groupama's debt to equity ratio
excluding revaluation reserves thus decreased to 10.2% in 2015 versus
11.6% in 2014.

^[2] Asset breakdown calculated at market value, excluding minority
interests, unit-linked products, and repurchase agreements

o A robust solvency margin

At 31 December 2015, the Solvency 2 coverage ratio was 263%. Groupama
calculates its Solvency 2 ratio at the Group level, with the incorporation of
a transitional measure on technical reserves in accordance with the statutory
regulation.

The margin requirement under Solvency 1 is also covered more than 2.5 times by
the Group.

i misteri della vigilanza,

interessante articolo di Serra sul sole che descrive bene la situazione

"la vigilanza deve scendere dalla torre di cristallo"
 
Ultima modifica:
Obiezioni e adontamenti tutti condivisibili, però lo si sa da tempo che un'eventuale sposalizio (col problemino, maldigerito a Nord, della holding "furbata" da smaltire in 3 anni) di questo tipo avrebbe portato a certe letterine.
 
Rott

Tutte le cedole e rimborsi di T1 devono essere discussi con ECB. Anche se escono dal computo del capitale. Questa e' la prassi aldila' di quello che dicono prospetti vecchi e nuovi. Possono essere delle mere formalita' per gruppi solidi oppure rappresentare degli ostacoli insormontabili per banche deboli.

Quindi ci possiamo scordare il richiamo di Banca Italease? visto come stanno gestendo la faccenda BP-PMI......
 
ha un residuo di 17 milioni la italease, non ha senso non richiamarla nonostante tutte le menate delle discussioni su fusione/non fusione
