Chairman's Address to the Annual General Meeting
5 May 2017
In the course of his address to shareholders at the Annual
General Meeting today, the Chairman, Mr. Michael Berkery, will make
the following statement on current trading:
"FBD continues to make progress in improving profitability
helped by strong underwriting actions and favourable weather year
to date. We have maintained excellent levels of retention of key
customer groups through our strong customer relationships and the
level of service we provide.
The hardening of insurance rates has continued into 2017 albeit
at a more moderated level as we maintain our focus on underwriting
discipline and profitability.
The injury claims environment remains uncertain and FBD welcomes
the increased attention and action this is receiving from
Government. FBD believes that sustained public policy action is
needed to improve the claims environment in Ireland. We note the
progress to date on the recommendations from the Cost of Insurance
Working Group.
The Group's low risk investment allocation has provided a return
largely in line with expectations since the start of the year.
Year to date the Group has seen a steady improvement of its key
measure, Combined Operating Ratio, towards the target range of mid
to high nineties."
