Sampo Group’s results for January-
March 2025
• Top-line growth stood at 9 per cent on a currency adjusted basis on the back of continued strong 
development in target growth areas within the private operations in the Nordics and the UK.
• Underwriting margins benefited from a benign winter and large claims, and a continued positive 
underlying trend in the Nordics, leading the combined ratio to improve to 84.6 per cent.
• The underwriting result increased by 30 per cent on a currency adjusted basis to EUR 336 million 
as a result of the strong growth and improvement in margins.
• Operating EPS strengthened by 9 per cent to EUR 0.11, as the strong underwriting result more than 
offset softer investment returns and an increase in the share count.
• Following a detailed assessment, estimated synergies from the Topdanmark integration have been 
raised to EUR 140 million in 2028 from EUR 95 million (pre-tax) on higher expected cost benefits.
• After the strong first quarter performance, the outlook for 2025 underwriting result has been 
increased to EUR 1,400–1,500 million from EUR 1,350–1,450 million.
• Solvency II coverage increased to 180 per cent from 177 per cent at year end, and financial 
leverage amounted to 25.8 per cent.
“The first quarter of 2025 has provided a strong start to the year, underpinned by robust 
growth, disciplined pricing and continued high retention from satisfied customers. We are 
confident in our ability to build on this positive momentum throughout the year and remain 
an attractive asset for shareholders that value stability and operational excellence.”

Group CEO’s comment
Sampo delivered an excellent first quarter with growth of 9 per cent in the top-line and 30 per cent 
in underwriting profits on a currency adjusted basis, as we continued to capitalise on our strong 
positioning and rational markets conditions. We remain confident in the outlook for the year and 
have increased the estimated synergies from the integration of Topdanmark significantly.
As a northern European P&C insurer, the first quarter is typically the reporting period most influenced by weather. 
This year, Norway saw a fairly cold and snowy winter with some flooding and storms, while conditions in the other 
Nordic countries and the UK were more benign. However, underlying margin development also remained good and 
in line with recent trend with a 20 basis point improvement in the Nordic underlying risk ratio.
In the Private Nordic business, we kept our normal focus on customer value and on setting the right prices. 
Retention levels continued to increase slightly, and the combined ratio came down to 83.8 per cent, a very strong 
start of the year. We continued to observe a gradual but persistent movement of customers toward our digital 
tools with digital sales increasing by 20 per cent year on year. In Private UK, we negotiated with a competitive but 
rational market by finding pockets of attractively priced business in home, van, and bike insurance as well as in 
telematics. The latter has been transformed by new technology recently, enabling more accurate driving data to be 
collected and interpreted at a lower cost. With normal weather, we produced a combined ratio of 88.7 per cent.
This solid development in the private business drove a 9 per cent top-line increase at group level, continuing the 
strong growth momentum from recent years with growth of 12 and 11 per cent in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Now 
and then, there are regulatory reviews of various aspects of our business. We always strive to achieve good long-
term relationships with our customers, where high retentions, stability, customer satisfaction, and fair claims 
settlements are key. This has even meant that we have gained advantages from some previous regulatory reforms, 
like GIPP in the UK, and a focus on these aspects of stability for our customers is as important as sales.
For modern P&C insurers, efficiency gains are primarily achieved through investments in digitalisation and 
technology, and the corresponding processes. With this in mind, the acquisition of Topdanmark enables us to 
supercharge our performance in Denmark. Since completing the deal in October last year, we have re-assessed the 
synergy potential available, now with full insight into the business, and increased our synergy estimate to EUR 140 
million pre-tax in 2028, from the original EUR 95 million. All of the increase comes from cost synergies. The 
majority will derive from IT transformation, as we plan to overhaul our Danish operations with new, state-of-the-art 
core systems and applications, to the benefit of both customers and shareholders.
Conditions in the Nordic and UK P&C insurance markets in which we operate have remained very healthy with 
rational competition. Demand for P&C insurance products has been stable as it tends to be through the economic 
cycle, particularly in our resilient Northern European economies and our balance sheet continues to be in excellent 
shape. Although no company is an island, I feel that we are as well positioned as one can be to weather the 
potential effects from the recent increase in political and economic uncertainty. Indeed, given our strong cash flow 
profile and solid balance sheet, capital returns remain a central discussion point with our investors. Sampo has a 
strong track-record of attractive shareholder returns that we intend to stay true to. As mentioned with our full-year 
2024 results, we expect to launch a share buyback programme in 2025 and we will give an update on this no later 
than with our second quarter 2025 results, which will be roughly 12 months after the launch of our last programme. 
In the interim, I hope to gain additional clarity on potential holding company asset disposals.
To conclude, the first quarter of 2025 has provided a strong start to the year, underpinned by robust growth, 
disciplined pricing, and continued high retention from satisfied customers. We are confident in our ability to build 
on this positive momentum throughout the year and remain an attractive asset for shareholders that value stability 
and operational excellence.

Outlook
Operating environment and assumptions
The operating environment in the markets in which Sampo operates remains broadly unchanged from the start of 
2025, both in terms of competitive and claims cost development dynamics. The first quarter saw better than 
expected weather and large claims below budget but these do not change Sampo’s forward view of claims cost 
development.
Outlook for 2025
Following a favourable outcome on weather claims relative to normal levels, and, to a lesser degree, benign large 
claims and increased Topdanmark synergies, Sampo has decided to adjust its 2025 financial outlook to:
• Group insurance revenue: EUR 8.8–9.1 billion (from EUR 8.7–9.0 billion), representing growth of 5–9 per cent 
year-on-year.
• Group underwriting result: EUR 1,400–1,500 million (from EUR 1,350–1,450 million), representing growth of 6–14 
per cent year-on-year.
Any forecast of Sampo’s underwriting result is subject to estimates for weather claims, large claims, prior year 
development, and certain other items that may vary periodically and are out of Sampo’s control, meaning regular 
updates of the forecast are needed to reflect actual outcomes. Moderate deviations against normal and budget 
levels are typical on a quarterly basis and Sampo intends to broadly reflect these in the outlook statement in its 
quarterly reports. In addition to the underwriting result, Sampo derives a material share of its earnings from returns 
on its investment portfolio and insurance finance income and expense, meaning changes in the outlook cannot be 
assumed to translate one-for-one into net profit. Sampo does not provide an outlook for its net financial result.
The outlook for 2025 is consistent with Sampo’s 2024–2026 financial targets of delivering a combined ratio below 
85 per cent annually and operating EPS growth of more than 7 per cent annually on average. 
The outlook is subject to uncertainty related to occurrence and estimation of the cost of P&C claims, foreign 
exchange rates, and competitive dynamics. Revenue forecasts, in particular, are subject to competitive conditions, 
which may change rapidly in some areas, such as the UK motor insurance market. The revenue and underwriting 
profit figures in the outlook are based on currency exchange rates as of the latest reporting date. 
A full explanation of the alternative performance metrics used in the Outlook can be found in the section 
Calculation of key figures.
The major risks and uncertainties for the Group in the 
near-term
In its current day-to-day business activities Sampo Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties, mainly 
through its major business units. Major risks affecting the Group companies’ profitability and its variation are 
market, credit, insurance, and operational risks. At the Group level, sources of risks are the same, although they are 
not directly additive due to the effects of diversification. 
Uncertainties in the form of major unforeseen events may have an immediate impact on the Group’s profitability. 
The identification of unforeseen events is easier than the estimation of their probabilities, timing, and potential 
outcomes. Macroeconomic and financial market developments affect Sampo Group primarily through the market 
risk exposures it carries via its insurance company investment portfolios and insurance liabilities. Over time, 
adverse macroeconomic effects could also have an impact on Sampo’s operational business, for example, by 
reducing economic growth or increasing claims costs. 
INTERIM STATEMENT FOR JANUARY–MARCH 2025
Outlook

===== SIDA 6 =====

Inflation has continued to moderate, with euro-area headline inflation already being close to the central bank 
target. Also, services inflation seems to have started to retreat from the 4 per cent level where it persistently 
hovered in 2024. However, whereas low goods inflation has been supported by supply-chain normalisation, it may 
rise if trade restrictions increase import prices, and energy prices continue to be vulnerable to geopolitical events. 
Furthermore, rapid wage growth has kept services inflation high and could continue to keep price pressures 
elevated unless labour markets continue to loosen as currently expected. This creates uncertainty on whether 
central banks will be willing to cut interest rates as swiftly as expected. At the same time, the recent escalation of 
trade disputes is expected to depress economic growth in Europe as investments and consumption are held back. 
These developments may lead to both a significant slowdown in economic growth and a deterioration in the debt 
service capacity of businesses, households, and governments, raising the risk of abrupt asset repricing in financial 
markets. Furthermore, the potential escalation of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East represent a major 
economic risk. These developments are currently causing significant uncertainties in economic and capital market 
development. At the same time, rapidly evolving hybrid threats create new challenges for states and businesses. 
There are also a number of widely identified macroeconomic, political, and other sources of uncertainty which can, 
in various ways, affect the financial services industry in a negative manner. 
Sampo Group’s insurance exposures in Russia or Ukraine are limited to certain Nordic industrial line clients with 
coverage subject to war exclusions. On the asset side, Sampo has no material direct investments in Russia or 
Ukraine. Given the limited direct exposure, the biggest risk from the war in Ukraine to Sampo relates to the second 
order capital markets and the macroeconomic effects outlined above. 
Other sources of uncertainty are unforeseen structural changes in the business environment and already identified 
trends and potential wide-impact events, sometimes also driven by regulatory uncertainty. These external drivers 
may have a long-term impact on how Sampo Group’s business will be conducted. Examples of identified trends are 
demographic changes, climate change, and technological developments in areas such as artificial intelligence and 
digitalisation including threats posed by cybercrime.

Financial highlights for January–March 2025
Sampo Group started 2025 on a high note as the robust growth momentum seen in 2024 continued 
into the first quarter. This was particularly driven by strong performance within Private segments 
both in the Nordics and in the UK. The Group underwriting result increased by 29 per cent, 
supported by strong growth, positive underlying margin development, and favourable winter 
conditions in the Nordics. 
Gross written premiums (GWP), including brokerage income, increased by 9 per cent on a currency adjusted basis 
and by 10 per cent on a reported basis to EUR 3,616 million (3,297) in January-March 2025. Insurance revenue, 
including brokerage income, came in at EUR 2,188 million (2,020), representing 8 per cent growth year-on-year.
The Group’s strong top-line growth was particularly driven by the private business, both in the Nordics and in the 
UK. Private Nordic saw GWP growth of 8.5 per cent adjusted for currency and portfolio transfers, supported by 
high and slightly increasing retention, rate actions, and increased volumes especially in personal insurance and 
property. While Nordic new car sales showed some early signs of recovery, sales volumes were still at low levels. 
Geographically, the strongest growth within the Nordics was achieved in Norway where GWP increased by 17 per 
cent on a currency adjusted basis as the group was able to take advantage of supportive market conditions. 
Private UK delivered top-line growth of 26 per cent on a currency adjusted basis, driven by selective growth in 
attractive areas against a backdrop of declining but still rational UK motor market pricing. UK live customer policy 
count rose to 4.1 million, representing 17 per cent growth year-on-year and 5 per cent from the end of 2024, 
supported by good development in telematics, bike, and van insurance as well as continued growth in home. 
Nordic Commercial enjoyed solid GWP growth of 5.2 per cent adjusted for currency and portfolio transfers, driven 
by high retention and rate increases at 1 January renewals. Currency adjusted growth in SME stood at 5 per cent. In 
Nordic Industrial, the strong outcome at 1/1 renewals with high-single digit rate increases was offset by intentional 
de-risking of large property exposures. As a result of de-risking actions and lower new sales, the top-line remained 
broadly unchanged year-on-year.
The first quarter saw fairly benign Nordic winter conditions, in stark contrast to the very harsh winter in the prior 
year comparison period. In addition, the large claims outcome came in better than budget. As a result, severe 
weather and large claims had a positive effect of 1.5 percentage points on the Group’s Nordic risk ratio, whereas 
the comparison period saw a negative effect of 4.2 percentage points. Underlying margin trends remained robust, 
supported by disciplined underwriting and stable claims inflation, translating to a 0.2 percentage points 
improvement in the Nordic underlying risk ratio year-on-year. The Nordic operating cost ratio increased by 0.8 
percentage points year-on-year due to quarterly volatility and increased sales activity, but remains on track to 
improve in line with targets for the full year. 
Sustained top-line growth, combined with favourable claims environment and positive underlying development, 
drove underwriting result growth of 30 per cent on a currency adjusted basis and 29 per cent on a reported basis 
to EUR 336 million (260). The Group combined ratio improved to 84.6 per cent (87.1). 
To reflect the favourable outcome on weather relative to normal levels, and, to a lesser degree, better-than-budget 
large claims and higher Topdanmark synergies, Sampo has increased its outlook for 2025 underwriting result to 
EUR 1,400–1,500 million from EUR 1,350–1,450 million. This represents 6–14 per cent growth year-on-year. Further, 
following strong first quarter top line growth, the outlook for 2025 insurance revenue has been raised to EUR 8.8–
9.1 billion from EUR 8.7–9.0 billion, implying growth of 5–9 per cent year-on-year. The underwriting result is the 
main driver of Sampo’s long term profit development but its quarterly and annual result are affected by additional 
factors, particularly investment returns, for which no outlook is provided.
The net financial result amounted to EUR 101 million (265). Net investment income decreased to EUR 80 million 
(295) as the solid start of Nordic equity markets faded towards the end of the quarter, while the fixed income 
portfolio continued to provide stable returns. Insurance finance income or expense was EUR 21 million (-30), 
supported by positive effect from changes in discount rates.

===== SIDA 9 =====

Operating EPS increased by 9 per cent to EUR 0.11 (0.10) on the back of a higher underwriting result, which offset 
the softer investment returns and the negative effect from an increase in share count due to the Topdanmark 
exchange offer in 2024. Sampo targets more than 7 per cent operating EPS growth on average over 2024–2026.
The Group Solvency II coverage, net of dividend for 2024 and first quarter dividend accrual, stood at 180 per cent, 
up from 177 per cent at the end of 2024. Financial leverage stood at 25.8 per cent, down from 26.9 per cent at the 
end of 2024. Sampo targets a solvency ratio of 150–190 per cent and a financial leverage of below 30 per cent.
Following the completion of the exchange offer for Topdanmark in October 2024, the Group has re-assessed the 
synergy potential available, now with full insight into the business, leading to an increase in the run-rate synergy 
estimate to EUR 140 million pre-tax in 2028, up from the original EUR 95 million. The increase comes from higher 
than originally expected cost synergies, while the estimate for revenue synergies remains unchanged. In light of the 
potential for additional productivity gains, the operational ambition for the Nordic operating cost ratio reduction 
has been raised to 40 basis points annually from the around 20 basis points set at the Capital Markets Day in March 
2024. The cost of implementing the planned benefits remains unchanged at EUR 150 million and was fully charged 
through the P&L in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Segments
In March 2025, Sampo introduced new reporting segments to reflect its transformation into a fully-integrated P&C 
insurance group following the acquisition of Topdanmark in 2024. Sampo reports its financial performance  based 
on the Group’s operational business areas: Private Nordic, Private UK, Nordic Commercial and Nordic Industrial. 
Sampo has clarified the naming of segments compared to previously announced. 
Private Nordic
Sampo operates in the Nordic private insurance market through its main brand, If, and other brands 
including Topdanmark and various white-label partnerships. If’s business model is based on high 
customer satisfaction and leveraging the benefits from digital sales and service capabilities. In total, 
the Group serves around 3.7 million households in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.

All key figures in the table above are calculated on a net basis. Education and development costs are included in the cost ratio.
Premium development 
In the first quarter of 2025, Private Nordic delivered GWP growth of 8.5 per cent adjusted for currency effects and 
portfolio transfers, driven by a mix of rate increases covering claims inflation, strong retention and positive 
portfolio development.
Geographically, growth was particularly strong in Norway, where GWP increased by 17 per cent on the back of rate 
increases combined with strong new sales and high retention, driving an increase in the number of customers and 
insured objects.
In terms of product lines, the positive GWP development in Private Nordic was supported by strong development 
in key target areas, with 10 per cent growth in personal insurance and 7 per cent in property. In motor, GWP 
growth ticked up to 9 per cent from 5 per cent in 2024, partly helped by a rebound in Nordic new car sales, albeit 
from low levels. Nonetheless, Swedish mobility continued to weigh on GWP growth and customer metrics as 
growth was not as strong as in other countries.
Private Nordic digital sales continued to show strong momentum with an increase of 20 per cent year-on-year, and 
online claims intake continued to grow. Despite rate increases remaining above expected inflation levels, retention 
improved slightly and stood at >89 per cent (89) at the end of the quarter.
Underwriting performance
The underwriting result increased by 50 per cent to EUR 155 million (104) in January–March 2025 and the 
combined ratio improved to 83.8 per cent (88.4). The positive development was supported by a stronger risk ratio 
of 61.9 per cent (66.7), on benign winter conditions that stood in stark contrast to the severe winter observed in 
the prior year, as well as positive frequency development. The quarterly cost ratio increased slightly to 21.8 per 
cent (21.7) on normal quarterly volatility, but remains on track to support targeted efficiency improvements at 
Nordic level for the year.

Private UK
Sampo operates in the UK private insurance market through its customer brand Hastings, which is 
one of the leading digital P&C insurance providers focused on serving UK car, van, bike, and home 
insurance. The Group serves over 4 million UK customers and is specialised in price comparison 
distribution, advanced pricing, anti-fraud, and digital capabilities.

Combined ratio, %  88.7  91.4  -2.7 
Gross written premiums and insurance revenue include broker revenues. All key figures in the table above are calculated on a net 
basis.
Premium development 
In the first quarter of 2025, Private UK delivered GWP growth of 26 per cent year-on-year on a constant currency 
basis, as a result of increased growth in new business and renewal volumes. Net insurance revenue grew by 27 per 
cent year-on-year to EUR 470 million (369), due to a mix of average premium increases from 2024 continuing to 
earn through and an increase in customer numbers.
Live customer policies (LCP) increased to 4.1 million, up 17 per cent year-on-year and 5 per cent from the end of 
2024, predominantly on higher new business volumes driven by selective growth in attractive parts of the market, 
along with improved renewal rates over prior year. LCP growth was recorded across all product lines, with motor 
LCP up 14 per cent year-on-year and home LCP up 36 per cent year-on-year.
Underwriting performance
The underwriting result increased by 68 per cent to EUR 53 million (32) in January-March 2025, reflecting a 
stronger risk ratio on higher insurance revenue. 
Claims cost inflation has trended down during the quarter towards the long-term average of mid-single digits, 
reflecting specific action taken to reduce the cost of claims, alongside wider market trends. Claims frequencies in 
Q1 benefited from benign weather experience in what is typically a high frequency quarter.
Operating expenses increased by 29 per cent, driven primarily by higher acquisition costs related to new business 
volume growth in the quarter and by the Group’s sustained investments in digital and customer servicing 
capabilities. As a result of the lower risk ratio, partly offset by a modest increase in the cost ratio, the combined 
ratio for the period improved to 88.7 per cent (91.4).

Nordic Commercial
Sampo operates in the Nordic commercial insurance market through its customer brands If,

All key figures in the table above are calculated on a net basis. Education and development costs are included in the cost ratio.
Premium development 
GWP growth in Nordic Commercial for January–March 2025 was 5.2 per cent adjusted for currency effects and 
portfolio transfers. The positive development was supported by solid renewals and rate actions to mitigate claims 
inflation but was partly offset by effects from de-risking and workers’ comp adjustment premiums. 
Growth was particularly strong in Norway. The favourable GWP outcome in Commercial benefited from strong 
development in personal insurance, while growth in the SME portfolio stood at 5 per cent. The retention rate 
remained high and stable in line with the level observed at the end of 2024.
Underwriting performance
During the first quarter of 2025, the underwriting result for Nordic Commercial decreased by 9 per cent to EUR 78 
million (86) and the combined ratio softened to 85.5 per cent (83.5).
The risk ratio for the quarter stood at 60.6 percent (59.4), primarily due to less favourable prior year claims 
development compared to the same period last year. This effect was partly offset by large claims outcome better 
than budget, and less frequency claims compared to the same period last year. The quarterly cost ratio, which is 
affected by quarterly volatility, stood at 24.9 per cent (24.1).

All key figures in the table above are calculated on a net basis. Education and development costs are included in the cost ratio.
Premium development 
Nordic Industrial reported GWP growth of 0.3 per cent on a currency adjusted basis for the first quarter of 2025. 
Growth was driven by 1 January renewals and rate increases but partly offset by lower new sales in combination 
with lower retention year-on-year. The development can be attributed to reduced exposures to large property 
risks to ensure earnings stability, to a degree. In addition, lower project insurance premiums from previous 
underwriting years affected the quarter.  
Underwriting performance
The underwriting result for Nordic Industrial increased by 13 per cent to EUR 31 million (27) in January–March 2025 
and the combined ratio improved to 79.6 per cent (83.5). The positive development was supported by a strong risk 
ratio of 57.8 per cent (64.8) following a favourable large claims outcome below budget for the quarter. The cost 
ratio, which is affected by quarterly volatility, deteriorated to 21.8 per cent (18.7) mainly due to lower premium 
volumes.

The Group’s net investment income decreased to EUR 80 million (295). The decrease was primarily driven by lower 
mark value gains on Nordic equities as the buoyant market sentiment at the start to the year gave way to concerns 
over the impact of the US tariffs toward the end of the quarter. Net losses from equities were EUR -24 million, of 
which EUR -19 million related to Nexi, whereas the prior year comparison period enjoyed strong momentum with 
EUR 122 million net gains from equities. Meanwhile, the Group’s fixed income portfolio provided stable interest 
income of EUR 124 million (123). The fixed income running yield stood at 3.9 per cent at the end of March 2025, 
unchanged from the end of 2024. The mark-to-market yield amounted to 4.1 per cent, slightly down from 4.2 per 
cent at the end of 2024.
In total, the Group’s mark-to-market investment return stood at 0.5 per cent in the first quarter. The Group’s 
investment portfolio amounted to EUR 17.9 billion. Of this, 89 per cent was allocated to fixed income, 8 per cent to 
equities and 3 per cent to alternative investments.
Insurance finance income or expense stood at EUR 21 million (-30). This was supported by a positive effect of EUR 
91 million (34) from changes in discount rates, while the unwind of discounting stood broadly unchanged at EUR 
-57 million (-59). 
Driven by softer net investment income, the net financial result came in at EUR 101 million (265). 
Other income or expense was EUR -7 million (-16) and finance expenses stood at EUR -28 million (-26). The non-
operational amortisations increased to EUR -26 million (-18) as a result of the exchange offer for Topdanmark in 
2024.

Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting of Sampo plc (AGM), held on 23 April 2025, decided to distribute a dividend of EUR

The AGM authorised the Board to resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions, a maximum of 250,000,000 
Sampo plc A shares. The maximum number of shares represents approximately 9.29 per cent of all outstanding A 
shares of the company. The repurchased shares will be cancelled. The authorisation will be valid until the close of 
the next AGM, however no longer than 18 months from the AGM's decision.
Including proxy representatives, there were altogether 1,746,933,448 shares (64.91 per cent of all shares) and 
1,750,933,448 votes (64.96 per cent of all votes) in the company represented at the AGM.
The minutes of the Annual General Meeting are available for viewing at www.sampo.com/agm and at Sampo plc's 
head office at Fabianinkatu 27, Helsinki, Finland.
Hastings Group 
As disclosed at the year-end 2024, Hastings Group was subject to review by tax authorities in the UK and Gibraltar. 
On 3 March 2025, a first-tier tribunal ruled in favour of Hastings recovering input VAT on services provided to a 
non-EU customer for the period 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2023. On 28 April 2025, HMRC confirmed that it is 
not appealing the decision. Hastings did not recognize an asset for the recovery of the VAT at the end of the 
reporting period given the uncertainty in respect of the ultimate outcome and will therefore book GBP 25.7 million 
(app. EUR 31 million) in respect of such recoverable costs in its profit or loss during Q2/2025.

Notes
Accounting principles
Sampo Group’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU. The interim financial statements are not presented in accordance 
with IAS 34 standard as Sampo applies the statutes of security markets act (1278/2015), regarding the regular 
disclosure requirements. The same accounting principles and methods of computation are applied in this financial 
statement release as were applied in Sampo’s consolidated financial statements 2024. 
The financial statements 2024 are available on Sampo’s website www.sampo.com/year2024.
Information presented in the Interim Statement is unaudited. 
Accounting principles requiring management judgement and key 
sources of estimation uncertainties
New reporting segments 
In February 2025, Sampo introduced new reporting segments to reflect its transformation into a fully-integrated 
P&C insurance group following the acquisition of Topdanmark in 2024. 
Sampo reports its financial performance based on the Group’s operational business areas that are regularly 
reviewed by a chief operating decision maker. Segments’ customer bases, risks, and performance measures differ 
from each other. The control and management of business and management reporting are organised in accordance 
with the business segments. The new segments are Private Nordic, Private UK, Nordic Commercial, and Nordic 
Industrial: 
• Private Nordic includes the Group’s Nordic private customer business, previously reported under the If and 
Topdanmark segments in Sampo’s accounts. Sampo operates in the Nordic private insurance market through its 
main brand, If, and other brands including Topdanmark and various white-label partnerships.
• Private UK includes the Group’s UK business, previously reported as Hastings in Sampo’s accounts. Sampo 
operates in the UK private insurance market through its customer brand Hastings, which is one of the leading 
digital P&C insurance providers focused on serving UK car, van, bike, and home insurance.
• Nordic Commercial includes the Group’s Nordic commercial customer businesses, previously reported under the 
If and Topdanmark segments in Sampo’s accounts, as well as Oona Health. The segment focuses particularly on 
SMEs. 
• Nordic Industrial includes the Group’s Nordic Industrial customer business, previously reported under the If 
segment in Sampo’s accounts. Corporates with revenues of more than SEK 500 million (cEUR 45 million), or 
more than 500 employees, are classified as Industrial customers.
In addition to these four reporting segments, Sampo presents other operations, consisting mainly of the Group’s 
Baltic business but also of group eliminations and other internal items. Other operations are not considered a 
separate reporting segment as they do not fulfil the criteria for reporting segments under IFRS 8.
In each reporting segment, Sampo reports the key profit or loss figures from gross written premiums to the 
underwriting result. These key profit or loss figures are reported regularly to the management to assess the 
reporting segments performance. Items below the underwriting result, such as net investment income and 
insurance finance income or expense, are reported at the group level.

New Sampo shares issued in the share split
Sampo plc announced on 5 February 2025 the resolution by the Board of Directors of Sampo on a share split by 
way of a share issue without consideration in proportion to shares owned by shareholders. The new Sampo A and 
B shares were issued to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings on the record day of the share 
issuance on 12 February 2025, so that four (4) new A shares were issued for each existing A share and four (4) new 
B shares were issued for each existing B share. After the share split, shareholders had five Sampo shares for each

In total, 2,152,191,088 new Sampo A shares and 800,000 new B shares were issued in the share split. Following the 
registration of the new shares, Sampo’s total share count amounts to 2,691,238,860 shares. The total number of A 
shares is 2,690,238,860 and the total number of votes attached to these shares is 2,690,238,860. The total number 
of B shares is 1,000,000 and the total number of votes attached to the shares is 5,000,000. Earnings per share 
figure for the comparison period has been adjusted by the share split.

6 Insurance contract liabilities
Insurance liabilities reflect the liability the Group has for its insurance undertakings, in other words, the insurance 
contracts underwritten. The liability consists of two parts, the liability for remaining coverage and acquisition cash 
flow assets as well as the liability for incurred claims. 
The liability for remaining coverage relates to the obligation to investigate and pay valid claims that have not yet 
occurred. The liability consists of the premium payments received for insurance services to be provided after the 
closing date, i.e. relating to the unexpired portion of the insurance coverage, and adjusted for acquisition cash 
flows. The liability for incurred claims relates to the obligation to investigate and pay valid claims that have 
occurred. The liability is designed to cover anticipated future payments for all claims incurred, including claims not 
yet reported.

8 Acquisition of Topdanmark’s non-controlling interest 
Background
In 2024, Sampo acquired the remaining non-controlling interests in Topdanmark A/S. The transaction was 
completed on 25 October 2024. Following the acquisition of NCI, Sampo plc sold all shares in Topdanmark A/S to 
If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd. 
Equity transaction  
The transaction with the non-controlling interest was accounted for as an equity transaction in Sampo Group 
during H2/2024. The compensation paid to the NCI for their shares in Topdanmark A/S was recognised as a 
decrease in the retained earnings amounting to EUR 2,325 million. The portion of the NCI’s share in equity, 
amounting to EUR 394 million, was allocated to the owners of the parent company, and recognised as an increase 
in retained earnings. The total decrease of retained earnings amounted to EUR 1,931 million.   
The acquisition costs related to the equity transaction, amounting to EUR 31 million, were accounted for as a 
deduction from the equity. Overall, the transaction decreased Sampo Group’s total equity by EUR 356 million 
consisting of compensation paid in compulsory acquisition of EUR 325 million and transaction costs of EUR 31 
million. 
Sale of Topdanmark A/S shares to If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd
On 1 November 2024, Sampo plc sold all the issued shares in Topdanmark A/S to If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd. The 
transaction was completed at arm’s length basis. The sale price, based on the recent market value of EUR 4,659 
million, equivalent to approximately DKK 34.7 billion, was paid through a loan agreement and a shareholder’s 
contribution between Sampo plc and If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd. On 1 November, the loan agreement, amounting 
to EUR 1,724 million, consisted of EUR nominated facility of EUR 862 million and DKK nominated facility of DKK 
6,432 million (approx. EUR 862 million). The remaining part of the purchase price was paid through a shareholder’s 
contribution amounting to SEK 34 029 million (approx. EUR 2,934 million) granted by Sampo plc to If Holding. The 
shareholder’s contribution was recognised as an increase in the carrying amount of If Holding’s shares in Sampo 
plc’s balance sheet. 
As the sale transaction of Topdanmark’s shares is an intra-group transaction, all impacts, including the sales gain of 
the shares, are eliminated on the Sampo Group level. 
9 Subsequent events after the balance sheet date
Hastings Group 
As disclosed at the year-end 2024, Hastings Group was subject to review by tax authorities in the UK and Gibraltar. 
On 3 March 2025, a first-tier tribunal ruled in favour of Hastings recovering input VAT on services provided to a 
non-EU customer for the period 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2023. On 28 April 2025, HMRC confirmed that it is 
not appealing the decision. Hastings did not recognize an asset for the recovery of the VAT at the end of the 
reporting period given the uncertainty in respect of the ultimate outcome and will therefore book GBP25.7 million 
(app. EUR 31 million) in respect of such recoverable costs in its profit or loss during Q2/2025.
