Idaii Insurance ended the quarter with a profit of NIS 48 million, a decrease compared to the corresponding quarter last year.

Group Create dill Summarizes the third quarter of 2021 with an 8% increase in revenue to NIS 809 million. The total profit attributed to shareholders amounted to NIS 2 million. The decrease compared to last year is mainly due to a decrease in Idai Insurance’s underwriting profit due to the increase in travel and the frequency of accidents and thefts in the property vehicle industry, as well as the high index increase in the quarter and the decrease in the interest rate curve. The strengthening of the shekel hurt the overall profit in real estate activity. On the other hand, the trend of improvement in the operating parameters of the subsidiary Edgar continues. In addition, the rise in the index increased Tzur Shamir’s financing expenses.
The equity attributed to shareholders continued the upward trend from previous quarters and as of September 30, 2021 stood at approximately NIS 370 million, compared with approximately NIS 300 million at the end of 2020.
Highlights for the results of the subsidiary Ideai Insurance in the third quarter of 2021:
Ideai ended the third quarter with a profit of NIS 48 million, compared with a profit of NIS 77 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The results for the current quarter were influenced by significant growth in profit in the housing industry, and good profitability in the life and health industries. On the other hand, an increase in travel and the frequency of accidents and thefts in the property vehicle industry, as well as a rise in the high index in the quarter and a decrease in the interest rate curve that affected the compulsory vehicle industry, led to a decrease in underwriting profitability. The rate of decrease in gross premiums in the quarter moderated to about 3% thanks to continued growth in classic health products, apartments and life, along with the process of improving the customer portfolio in property vehicles, which is nearing completion.
Gross premiums in the third quarter amounted to NIS 584.2 million, compared with NIS 605.0 million in the corresponding period last year, a decrease of 3%. The change in gross premiums was affected by an increase in the volume of customers in the areas of housing, living and health on the one hand, and a decrease in the automotive industry (mainly due to the company’s initiatives to improve the customer portfolio and lower tariffs in the real estate industry). And a decrease in personal accident products (due to the reduction of activity until the end of the permit to market the product in its existing format in May).

Net income increased in the third quarter by approximately 10.2% and amounted to approximately NIS 42.2 million, compared with approximately NIS 38.3 million in the corresponding quarter last year.

In this quarter, direct financing revenues grew by approximately 64% and amounted to approximately NIS 239.5 million, compared with approximately NIS 146 million in the corresponding quarter last year.
