ANNEX IIInstructions regarding reporting templates for individual undertakings

S.19.01 — Non–life insurance claims

General comments:

This section relates to annual submission of information for individual entities.

Claims development triangles show the insurer's estimate of the cost of claims (claims paid and claims provisions under Solvency II valuation principle) and how this estimate develops over time.

Three set of triangles are required regarding claims paid, best estimate of claims provisions and RBNS claims.

This template shall be reported for each line of business, as defined in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, and material considering the following specifications:

  1. i.

    reporting by line of business: it is required to report lines of business 1–12 (as reported in S.17.01) for both direct and accepted proportional reinsurance (to be reported together) and lines of business 25–28 for accepted non–proportional reinsurance;

  2. ii.

    If the total gross best estimate for one non–life line of business represents more than 3 % of the total gross best estimate of the claims provision the information shall be reported with the following split by currencies in addition to the total for the line of business:

    1. a)

      Amounts in the reporting currency;

    2. b)

      Amounts for any currency that represents more than 25 % of the gross best estimate of the claims provisions in the original currency from that non–life line of business; or

    3. c)

      Amounts for any currency that represents less than 25 % of the gross best estimate of the claims provisions in the original currency from that non–life line of business but more than 5 % of total gross best estimate of the claims provisions in the original currency.

  3. iii.

    If the total gross best estimate for one non–life line of business represents less than 3 % of the total gross best estimate of the claims provision no currency split is required, only the total for the line of business shall be reported.

  4. iv.

    The information by currency shall be reported in the original currency of the contracts unless otherwise specified.

Undertakings are required to report data on an accident year or underwriting year basis, in accordance with any requirements of the National Supervisory Authority. If the National Supervisory Authority has not stipulated which to use then the undertaking may use accident or underwriting year according to how they manage each line of business, provided that they use the same year consistently, year on year.

The default length of run–off triangle is 15 + 1 years for all lines of business but the reporting requirement is based on the undertakings' claims development (if length of the claims settlement cycle is shorter than 15 years, undertakings are required to report according to the internal shorter development).

Historical data, starting from the first time application of Solvency II, are required for claims paid and RBNS claims but not for Best Estimate of Claims Provision. For the compilation of the historical data for claims paid and RBNS claims the same approach concerning the length of triangle for the on–going reporting will be applied (i.e. the shorter between 15 + 1 years and the undertakings' claims settlement cycle).

All or part of an obligation moves from S.19.01 into S.16.01, when both of the conditions below are met:

  1. iii.

    All or part of the obligation has been formally settled as an annuity; and

  2. iv.

    a best estimate of an obligation formally settled as an annuity can be established using life techniques.

Formally settled as an annuity typically means that a legal process has ordered that the beneficiary is to receive payments as an annuity.

The sum of provisions in templates S.16.01 and S.19.01 for one non–life line of business, as defined in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, represents the total claims reserves originating from this line of business.
