Highlights Q1 2023

 

CR 93.2% and 21% volume growth in local currencies

Q1 2023 is the first quarter Protector Forsikring reports under full IFRS. The main change from NGAAP to full IFRS is related to IFRS 17 Insurance contracts. This new standard introduces new requirements for recognition, measurement, presentation, and information about issued insurance contracts, as well as new terminology and definition of the company's KPIs. The purpose of the new standard is to establish a uniform practice for accounting for insurance contracts. Please see the transition note below, note 28 in the annual report for 2022 and material regarding the transition to IFRS published separately on www.protectorforsikring.no for further information on effects of implementing IFRS.
