Group CEO’s comment
The third quarter of 2024 marked another solid performance for Sampo. We continued to see robust 
top line growth with our nine-month underwriting result growing by 8 per cent, despite the severe 
winter in the first quarter, and profit before taxes increasing by 20 per cent. We also finalised the 
strategic transformation that began when I assumed the role of Group CEO in 2020 by completing 
the acquisition of Topdanmark.
As part of our P&C insurance focused strategy, we successfully completed the exchange offer for Topdanmark 
during the quarter. This milestone allows us to move forward with the integration, a process that is well underway 
and poised to bring notable synergies.  In particular, we anticipate benefits in key areas such as IT portfolio 
optimisation, increased operational digitalisation, and unified procurement. These synergies will not only enhance 
efficiency but also improve our ability to serve our customers. Through the deal, we have gained skilled 
Topdanmark personnel and have already established an integrated Nordic management team. I am confident that 
we will achieve our integration objectives and further solidify our leadership positions in the Nordic and Danish 
markets. 
Looking back, another important step in our strategic transformation was the acquisition of Hastings in 2020. The 
transaction is proving successful, both in terms of financial performance and strategic alignment. During the third 
quarter of 2024, gross written premiums in the UK grew by 28 per cent on a constant currency basis, fuelled by 
pricing actions taken in the latter half of 2023 and an 11 per cent increase in customer policies year-on-year, 
bringing the total to 3.8 million. During the third quarter alone, we added 159,000 motor policies. The strong 
performance illustrates the significant growth potential in the UK. However, as is always the case at Sampo, we 
only grow when we see the opportunity to earn attractive returns, and our nine-month operating ratio of 88.5 per 
cent shows that we are delivering on this commitment.
Operational momentum is strong also in the Nordics. Retention in Private remains high at 89 per cent as we 
continue to price for claims inflation, while the growth rates in online sales, property and personal insurance are all 
above target level, at 10 per cent, 6 per cent and 11 per cent year-to-date, respectively. We are also on track to 
achieve our cost ratio ambition for the year, despite continued investments in our capabilities. 
Nordic market dynamics remain stable, with some peers indicating large price increases, and claims inflation has 
trended down to 4 per cent. However, underwriting is more than just raising prices – we continuously leverage our 
expertise to actively manage our business. On electric vehicles, for example, we have been able to achieve the 
same profitability as on vehicles with Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) by ensuring that we price accurately, 
even if this has meant sacrificing market share in some areas. Meanwhile, in the Nordic Industrial market, we are a 
leading provider with a strong track record of profitability and a business that consumes very limited incremental 
capital. Over recent years, we have implemented rate increases that have driven material profitability 
improvements. We are now taking the opportunity to significantly cut our shares on large property risks to ensure 
that we continue to deliver stable underwriting results. The reductions will be targeted, and we will continue to act 
as a lead underwriter. Underwriting actions are part of our everyday business and a key driver of our strong 
financial track record.
In summary, the third quarter of 2024 was a financially stable quarter, with continued positive momentum in the 
Nordics and accelerated growth in the UK.  However, more importantly it was strategically critical as we completed 
Sampo’s transformation initiated in 2020. Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to leverage our operational 
capabilities and apply learnings from our impressive track record in the Nordic insurance business to our growing 
UK business. With this structure in place, I am confident in our ability to drive sustained value creation for our 
shareholders.

Outlook
Outlook for 2024
Following the nine-month result, Sampo has maintained its 2024 outlook for a Group combined ratio of 83–85 per 
cent. The outlook excludes potential one-off integration costs related to the realisation of synergies with 
Topdanmark. 
Sampo Group’s combined ratio is subject to volatility driven by, among other factors, seasonal weather patterns, 
large claims, and prior year development. The net financial result will be significantly influenced by capital markets’ 
developments.
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 and through 
strategic investments. 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. 
Inflation has continued to fall in 2024 with euro-area headline inflation being already at levels in line with the 
central bank target. However, the fall in inflation has largely come from lower goods inflation and a decline in 
energy prices. Whereas the fall in goods inflation has been supported by supply-chain normalisation, 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 loosen as currently expected. This 
creates uncertainty on whether central banks will be willing to cut interest rates as swiftly as expected. This 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 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 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. 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–September 
2024
Sampo Group maintained robust top line growth in January-September 2024, driven by solid 
performance across the group but particularly in the UK. While the headline underwriting result 
development was affected by a harsh Nordic winter in the beginning of the year, followed by 
elevated large claims outcome, the Group underlying margins have continued to improve 
throughout the year. In addition, the result has been supported by strong investment returns. 
Furthermore, Sampo successfully completed its exchange offer for Topdanmark in September. 
Gross written premiums and brokerage income increased by 10 per cent on a currency adjusted and on a reported 
basis to EUR 7,718 million (7,006) in January-September 2024. If saw currency adjusted GWP growth of 4.8 per 
cent, driven by high and stable retention and price actions to cover claims inflation. In Private, GWP growth stood 
at 6.0 per cent on the back of solid performance in key focus areas, such as personal insurance and private 
property, while motor lines continued to face headwind from weak new car sales. Within corporate lines, 
Commercial saw good currency adjusted growth of 5.6 per cent, while the growth in Industrial slowed down to 1.2 
per cent on a currency adjusted basis due to a change of inception date for a small group of large contracts, 
affecting the third quarter. Excluding this, the GWP growth would have been 9.0 per cent on a currency adjusted 
basis for Industrial and 6.4 per cent for If as whole. Topdanmark reported GWP growth of 10 per cent, supported 
by the Oona Health acquisition, rate actions and continued net customer inflow, and 7 per cent on an organic basis. 
The UK has been leading the way throughout the year with a 27 per cent GWP growth in local currency basis. In 
recent quarters, UK growth has been driven by increased policy count, as well as large price increases 
implemented in the second half of 2023 in response to significant claims inflation.
Underlying margin development has been positive throughout the year with the Group underlying combined ratio 
improving by 1.6 percentage points. This has been driven by strong performance in the UK as well as a continued 
positive trend in the Nordics. If reported an undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improvement of 0.3 percentage points 
year-on-year, supported by disciplined underwriting and rate actions to cover Nordic claims inflation, which has 
been slowing down to around 4 per cent. In the UK, motor pricing has been fairly stable over 2024 while loss cost 
development has benefited from benign claims frequency trends.
The first nine months of 2024 saw a mixed claims environment as the severe Nordic winter in the beginning of the 
year was followed by more normal weather conditions as well as an elevated large claims outcome during the 
second and the third quarter. In total, large claims and severe weather had a 3.6 percentage points negative effect 
on the Group combined ratio, leading the combined ratio softening to 84.6 per cent (84.2). Nonetheless, strong top 
line growth meant the underwriting result increased by 8 per cent on a currency adjusted and reported basis to 
EUR 955 million (882). The outlook for the 2024 Group combined ratio has been maintained at 83–85 per cent.

===== SIDA 7 =====

The net financial result increased to EUR 573 million (385) as strong investment returns offset the negative effect 
from lower discount rates. Net investment income increased to EUR 818 million (489), mainly driven by mark-to-
market gains. The Group fixed income running yield stood unchanged at 4.0 per cent, while the mark-to-market 
yield decreased to 4.1 per cent at the end of September 2024, down from 4.7 per cent at the end of the second 
quarter. Insurance finance income or expense (IFIE) amounted to EUR -245 million (-103), including a negative 
effect from unwind of discounting of EUR -183 million (-166). Changes in discount rates had a negative effect of 
EUR -68 million on IFIE, whereas in the prior year the effect was EUR 110 million positive.
Operating EPS increased to EUR 1.68 (1.65) driven by higher underwriting result and buybacks. Sampo targets 
more than 7 per cent operating EPS growth on average over 2024–2026.
The Group Solvency II ratio, including dividend accrual, stood at 177 per cent, slightly down from 179 per cent at 
the end of the second quarter, mainly due to higher FX exposures and interest rate movements. Financial leverage 
amounted to 26.8 per cent, up from 26.1 per cent at the end of the second quarter, driven by executed buybacks 
and funds reserved for the squeeze-out of Topdanmark’s minority shares. Sampo targets a solvency ratio of 150–
190 per cent and a financial leverage of below 30 per cent.
On 16 September 2024, Sampo successfully completed an exchange offer for the shares it did not already own in 
Topdanmark. The squeeze-out of the remaining Topdanmark minority shares was completed in October 2024. The 
offer is summarised in section Other developments.

Third quarter 2024 in brief
Strong top line growth, continued positive underlying development, and normal weather conditions  
exceeded negative effects from above-budget large claims, leading to growth in underwriting profit.
Gross written premiums and brokerage income rose by 8 per cent on a currency adjusted basis and by 9 per cent 
on a reported basis, reaching EUR 2,088 million (1,909) in July-September 2024. In Private, currency adjusted 
growth stood at 4.3 per cent, supported by solid performance in non-motor lines and continued high retention. 
Digital sales increased by 13 per cent and personal insurance GWP grew by 8 per cent. Commercial saw currency 
adjusted growth of 3.7 per cent, as good growth in SME was partly offset by sluggish development in workers’ 
compensation in Finland. Industrial currency adjusted GWP declined by 33 per cent as the inception date for a 
small group of large contracts was moved from the third quarter to the fourth quarter. Excluding this, currency 
adjusted growth in Industrial would have been 3.7 per cent. Topdanmark continued its strong top line development 
during the third quarter with 12 per cent GWP growth, supported by the acquisition of Oona Health, and 8 per cent 
growth on an organic basis.
The UK stood out with the strongest GWP growth of 28 per cent on a local currency basis, driven by a 11 per cent 
increase year-on-year in live customer policies as the operating environment remained supportive for pursuing 
growth. The third quarter saw 8 per cent growth in motor policies and 30 per cent growth in home policies year-
on-year, increasing the total policy count to 3.8 million, up from 3.6 million at the end of June 2024.
The third quarter saw normal weather conditions, whereas the prior year comparison period was materially 
affected by multiple severe weather events. However, this was partly offset by an adverse large claims outcome, 
which had a 2.8 percentage points negative effect on Group combined ratio. The underwriting result increased by 
31 per cent on a currency adjusted basis and by 32 per cent on a reported basis to EUR 374 million (284) and the 
combined ratio improved to 82.5 per cent (85.1). The Group underlying combined ratio improved by 1.7 percentage 
points driven by strong performance in the UK and continued stable underlying development in the Nordics. If 
reported an undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improvement of 0.2 percentage points year-on-year

Severe weather includes natural catastrophes. 
Negative figures for prior year development indicate positive reserve run-off. The discounting effect represents the impact of 
discounting of current year claims reserves on the underlying combined ratio. 
The net financial result decreased to EUR 128 million (156) driven by lower discount rates. Net investment income 
amounted to EUR 340 million (127) as fixed income instruments’ market values benefited from lower interest rates 
in the quarter. IFIE swung to EUR -212 million (29) driven by a negative effect of EUR -156 million from changes in 
discount rates, whereas the comparison period saw a positive effect of EUR 102 million. The effect from unwind of 
discounting amounted to EUR -63 million (-53).
Operating EPS was slightly up to EUR 0.59 (0.58) as the higher underwriting result was partly offset by lower 
realised gains in the investment portfolio.

Underwriting performance
If reported an insurance service result of EUR 642 million (628) and a combined ratio of 83.6 per cent (83.2) in 
January-September 2024. The underlying margin trend remained positive with an undiscounted adjusted risk ratio 
improvement of 0.3 percentage points and a cost ratio reduction of 0.2 percentage points year-on-year. The third 
quarter was affected by elevated large claims in Industrial and Commercial, while there were no severe weather 
claims. If delivered a third quarter insurance service result of EUR 251 million (201) and the combined ratio stood at 
81.1 per cent (84.1). The undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.2 percentage points and the cost ratio 
reduced by 0.1 percentage points compared to the third quarter last year.

Premium development
If reported gross written premiums, GWP, of EUR 4,603 million (4,373) in January-September 2024. Premium 
growth of 4.8 per cent on a currency adjusted basis was negatively affected by a change of inception date from 
the third quarter to the fourth quarter for a small number of large Industrial contracts. Excluding effect from the 
inception date change, currency adjusted GWP growth would have been 6.4 per cent in January-September. 
Growth in the first nine months was robust across business areas and countries and driven primarily by rate 
increases exceeding Nordic claims inflation. The positive development benefited from successful renewals in 
business areas Industrial and Commercial at the beginning of the year. 
In January-September 2024 business area Private’s currency adjusted GWP growth was 6.0 per cent primarily 
driven by price increases covering claims inflation. The positive development was supported by 11 per cent growth 
in Personal insurance, and 6 per cent growth in Property insurance. Continued low new car sales volumes 
dampened GWP growth in the Motor segment, which stood at 4 per cent. Geographically, growth continued to be 
particularly strong in Norway. In the third quarter, currency adjusted GWP growth for Private was 4.3 per cent. 
In the first nine months, new car sales remained weak across the region, with numbers down by 6 per cent year-on-
year for the Nordics and 8 per cent for If’s largest market Sweden. Excluding the impact of the Swedish mobility 
business, currency adjusted GWP growth January–September was 6.9 per cent for Private and 6.6 per cent for If 
(adjusted for the inception date change in Industrial). The retention rate in Private in the third quarter of 2024 
remained at 89 per cent, despite rate adjustments to cover claims inflation. Momentum in Private digital sales 
growth remained good with a year-on-year increase of 13 per cent.
Currency adjusted GWP growth in Commercial for January–September 2024 was 5.6 per cent. The positive 
development over the period was mainly driven by successful renewals and continuous rate increases in line with 
claims inflation. Currency adjusted GWP growth in the third quarter was 3.7 per cent, supported by over 5 per cent 
growth in the SME segment, partly offset by workers’ compensation Finland. 
Commercial digital sales increased by 20 per cent year-on-year, driven by an expansion of the digital offerings and 
increased usage of self-service solutions. The number of logins to MyBusiness in the quarter increased by more 
than 30 per cent compared to the same period last year. 
Industrial reported GWP growth of 1.2 per cent on currency adjusted basis, or 9.0 per adjusted for the changed 
inception date, in January-September 2024. Inflation driven rate increases, particularly in the property segment, 
and a good renewal outcome in the beginning of the year contributed to the positive development. In the third 
quarter, which is seasonally lighter with few renewals, the currency adjusted GWP growth was -33 per cent, or 3.7 
adjusted for the changed inception dates. During the quarter, Industrial continued to reduce exposures to certain 
large property risks in order to ensure lower large claims volatility.
The Baltic business delivered currency adjusted GWP growth of 5.4 per cent in January–September 2024. The 
positive development was mainly driven by repricing initiatives to mitigate claims inflation. However, increased 
competition in the latter part of the period resulted in a negative GWP development of -1.6 per cent in the third 
quarter.
Combined ratio development 
If reported combined ratios of 83.6 per cent (83.2) and 81.1 per cent (84.1) for the first nine months and the third 
quarter, respectively.
After a favourable large claims outcome in the first quarter of the year, the following two quarters saw adverse 
large claims development in both Industrial and Commercial. Large claims in the first nine months had a 2.0 
percentage points negative effect on the combined ratio. In the third quarter, the corresponding number was 4.5 
percentage points, mainly driven by large property claims.

Severe weather events in January–September had a negative impact of 2.8 percentage points on the combined 
ratio. The first quarter of the year was affected by the storm Ingunn and an unusually harsh Nordic winter, while 
limited severe weather claims were reported in the second quarter. There were no severe weather claims reported 
in the third quarter of 2024, whereas the comparison quarter was impacted by the storm Hans and the cloudburst 
in Oslo, Norway. If’s large claims outcome is reported as a deviation against budget, while severe weather and 
natural catastrophe effects are disclosed in full. 
Prior year gains in the first nine months stood at 4.9 per cent (5.4) and the risk adjustment and other technical 
effects had an impact of 1.5 percentage points (1.1). In the third quarter, prior year gains amounted to 6.8 per cent 
(7.9), driven by reserve releases from long-tailed lines. The risk adjustment and other technical effects amounted to 
1.5 per cent (1.0). 
The discounting effect reduced to 2.8 per cent (3.1) and 2.5 per cent (3.0) for the first nine months and the third 
quarter respectively, as a result of lower discount rates.
In total, the risk ratio deteriorated by 0.7 percentage points year-on-year to 62.9 per cent (62.2) in the first nine 
months of 2024. The undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.3 percentage points year-on-year. In the third 
quarter, the risk ratio was 60.5 per cent (63.4), while the undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.2 
percentage points. 
The January–September 2024 cost ratio improved to 20.7 per cent (20.9) which is in line with If P&C’s target for 
2024–2026 of a ~20 basis point yearly cost ratio reduction. The third quarter cost ratio stood at 20.6 per cent 
(20.7). Education and development costs are included in the cost ratio.

Net financial result
For the first nine months of 2024, If reported a net financial result of EUR 442 million (373) as higher net 
investment income offset negative effects from lower discount rates. The mark-to-market return on investments 
stood at 5.9 per cent (4.0). The corresponding numbers for the third quarter were EUR 88 million (135) and 2.4 per 
cent (0.8). 
At the end of September, the fixed income running yield was 4.3 per cent (4.1), unchanged from the second 
quarter. However, as a result of increased fixed income instruments’ market values, the mark-to-market yield 
decreased to 4.0 per cent from 4.8 per cent at the end of the second quarter.
In January–September 2024 the unwind of discounting amounted to EUR -131 million (-118) and changes in discount 
rates had an impact of EUR -58 million (77). In the third quarter the unwind of discounting was EUR -44 million 
(-35), and effects from changes in discount rates amounted to EUR -122 million (88).

All key figures in the table above are calculated on a net basis.
The first nine months of 2024 were supported by a continuously stronger growth in gross written premiums. 
Topdanmark reported GWP of EUR 1,212 million (1,098), corresponding to an organic growth rate of 7.4 per cent, 
excluding impact of the Oona Health acquisition. Organic growth was, among other things, supported by rate 
increases across all major product areas, a continued net customer inflow, and specific rate adjustments on 
workers’ compensation effective 1 July 2024 following the implementation of new legislation affecting the 
calculation of awarded compensations. Organic growth in the third quarter of 2024 was 8.0 per cent.
The claims experience was marked by a high frequency of weather-related claims, most notably in the first quarter 
of the year but also somewhat above budget in the third quarter. Large claims saw a favourable outcome, 
especially in the first six months of the year with only a few large fire-related claims in the commercial segment. 
The combined ratio increased to 84.2 per cent (82.4) and the underwriting result rose to EUR 173 million (168) in 
January–September 2024.
With the support of a strong net financial result, Topdanmark’s profit before taxes increased to EUR 159 million 
(143) for January–September 2024 in Sampo Group’s profit and loss account. The result included one-off costs of 
EUR 15 million after tax in the third quarter related to the combination agreement entered into with Sampo. 
On 17 June 2024, Topdanmark and Sampo entered into a combination agreement pursuant to which Sampo made 
a recommended public exchange offer to the shareholders of Topdanmark. The offer period was launched on 9 
August 2024 and expired on 9 September 2024. As a result of the exchange offer, Sampo plc held 82.6 million 
shares in Topdanmark as at 30 September 2024, corresponding to approximately 92.6 per cent of all outstanding 
shares and votes in Topdanmark (excluding Topdanmark treasury shares). On 20 September 2024, Sampo plc 
initiated a compulsory acquisition of the remaining Topdanmark shares which ended on 25 October 2024. Today, 
Sampo plc thus holds all shares in Topdanmark, and the Topdanmark share was delisted from public trading on 
Nasdaq Copenhagen on 18 October 2024. Further details on the offer are available in the section

All key figures in the table above are calculated on a net basis.
Hastings’ gross written premiums for January-September 2024 increased by 27 per cent year-on-year on a 
constant currency basis to EUR 1,637 million (1,265), reflecting higher average premiums from rate increases 
implemented, mainly during 2023, alongside increases in live customer policies (‘LCP’). Total LCP increased to 3.8 
million, up 11 per cent year-on-year, largely due to increased new business competitiveness. Motor LCP increased 
by 8 per cent year-on-year following continued strong growth in the third quarter. Home LCP grew by 30 per cent 
year-on-year.
During the year, Hastings has observed a moderate slow-down in overall claims inflation, from around the 12 per 
cent level seen during 2023, to the high single digit range. Claims frequencies continue to track below historically 
observed levels, reflecting both the impact of underwriting action and benign weather experience at the start of 
2024 as compared to 2023.
The underwriting result increased by 61 per cent to EUR 139 million (86). Operating expenses increased in line with 
revenue growth, driven by higher acquisition expenses related to new business volume growth and by sustained 
investment into digital, customer and claims servicing initiatives. Hastings’ operating ratio for the period improved 
to 88.5 per cent (90.5) with an operating ratio of 86.5 per cent (90.0) for the third quarter driven mainly by a 
stronger loss ratio.
The net financial result increased to EUR 31 million (15). This was mainly driven by investment income being up 73 
per cent year-on-year and offsetting the negative effect from lower discounting rates. 
As a result of both the higher underwriting result and net financial result, Hastings’ profit before taxes doubled to 
EUR 140 million (70). Included within other items is EUR 35 million (30) of non-operational amortisation related to 
intangible assets identified on acquisition of the Hastings Group by Sampo plc in 2020, without which profit before 
taxes would have been EUR 175 million (100).

Financial position
Group solvency 
Sampo Group’s Solvency II ratio, net of dividend accrual based on the regular dividend of EUR 1.60 per share for 
2023, amounted to 177 per cent at the end of September 2024. The Solvency II coverage decreased slightly from 
179 per cent at the end of the second quarter, explained by higher FX exposure due to cumulative results as well as 
interest rate movements partly offsetting operating capital generation. Sampo targets a Solvency II ratio of 150–
190 per cent. 
The regulatory Solvency II ratio, excluding dividend accrual, amounted to 198 per cent based on own funds of EUR 
6,031 million and solvency capital requirement of EUR 3,043 million at the end of September 2024.
Financial leverage position
Sampo Group’s financial leverage is calculated as Group financial debt divided by the sum of IFRS shareholders’ 
equity and financial debt. The Group targets financial leverage of below 30 per cent.
The Group’s shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 7,101 million and financial debt to EUR 2,597 million at the end 
of September 2024, translating into a financial leverage of 26.8 per cent, up from 26.1 at the end of June 2024. The 
increase was driven by shareholders’ equity decreasing from EUR 7,349 million at the end of the second quarter 
due to executed buybacks and funds reserved for the squeeze-out of Topdanmark’s minority shares. The financial 
debt has remained broadly unchanged during the year.

Public exchange offer for Topdanmark
On 17 June 2024, Sampo announced that Sampo and Topdanmark had entered into a combination agreement, 
pursuant to which Sampo would make a recommended best and final public exchange offer to acquire all of the 
outstanding shares in Topdanmark not already owned by Sampo. Under the terms of the offer, Topdanmark 
shareholders would receive 1.25 newly issued Sampo A shares in exchange for each share held in Topdanmark. 
On 8 July 2024, Sampo announced that all necessary regulatory approvals had been obtained for the exchange 
offer. Sampo’s Extraordinary General Meeting held on 9 July 2024 authorised the Board to resolve on a share issue 
to acquire Topdanmark shares.
The offer period began on 9 August 2024 and expired on 9 September 2024. Based on the final result announced 
on 16 September 2024, Sampo received acceptances representing approximately 92.6 per cent of the entire share 
capital and total number of voting rights in Topdanmark, excluding Topdanmark’s treasury shares. Based on the 
final result, the Board resolved to issue 48,198,710 new Sampo A shares to Topdanmark shareholders. The new 
Sampo shares were listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen and the trading commenced on 18 September 2024.
On 20 September 2024, Sampo commenced a compulsory acquisition of the 6,613,865 Topdanmark shares held by 
the remaining minority shareholders of Topdanmark in accordance with the Danish Companies Act and the VP rule 
book. The price per Topdanmark share offered in the compulsory acquisition was DKK 366.38, corresponding to 
1.25 times the Sampo closing share price of EUR 39.29 on Nasdaq Helsinki on 14 June 2024. The compulsory 
acquisition price thereby reflected the valuation of the Topdanmark shares (including the premium of 27 per cent) 
indicated in the announcement published on 17 June 2024. The total acquisition cost of the minority shares 
amounted to EUR 325 million.
The compulsory acquisition was completed after the end of the reporting period on 25 October 2024. Topdanmark 
shares were removed from trading on Nasdaq Copenhagen on 18 October 2024. Sampo will begin reporting on the 
delivery of synergies from the first quarter of 2025.

in connection with the exchange offer. The new shares represented approximately 8.76 per cent of all Sampo 
shares and approximately 8.75 per cent of the votes conferred by all Sampo shares immediately following the 
completion of the share Issue. 
To reduce the dilution effect from the offer, Sampo had allocated EUR 800 million to share buybacks and the 
squeeze-out of Topdanmark minority shares as announced on 17 June 2024. As the first step of this capital 
deployment, Sampo launched a buyback programme of EUR 400 million, which started on 18 June 2024. Following 
the announcement of the result of the exchange offer on 16 September 2024, the programme was increased to 
EUR 475 million and extended to end no later than 30 November 2024 from the original end date of 31 October 
2024, as the total acquisition cost the Topdanmark minority shares amounted to EUR 325 million. In January-
September 2024, Sampo repurchased 7,672,051 own A shares, representing 1.39 per cent of the total share count. 
Of this, 6.8 million shares were repurchased during the third quarter. The repurchased shares will be cancelled.

===== SIDA 33 =====

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 2023, with the exception of  an 
addition to the accounting principles described below. 
The financial statements 2023 are available on Sampo’s website www.sampo.com/year2023.
Information presented in the Interim Statement is unaudited. 
Acquisition of Topdanmark’s non-controlling interest
On 17 June 2024, Sampo announced that Sampo and Topdanmark had entered into a combination agreement, 
based on which Sampo made  a recommended best and final public exchange offer to acquire all of the 
outstanding shares in Topdanmark not already owned by Sampo.  For more detailed description of the acquisition, 
please see section Other developments and note 8.
In accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, after the control of a subsidiary has been gained, 
any subsequent change in the ownership, not resulting in a loss of control, is treated as an equity transaction 
between the non-controlling interests and the owners of the parent company (IFRS 10.23). The acquisition of non-
controlling interest of Topdanmark is accounted for as an equity transaction between the NCI and the owners of 
the parent. The original purchase price allocation calculation (PPA), prepared at the time of the original acquisition 
in 2017 and including goodwill, remain unchanged. 
As the proportion of the equity held by the non-controlling interest changes, the carrying amounts of both the 
equity owners of the parent and the  non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes. The difference 
between the book value of the NCI and the consideration paid is recognised directly in equity (retained earnings) 
and attributed to the owners of the parent company. 
As a result of the transaction, Sampo will be allocated a greater portion of the profits of Topdanmark in the periods 
after the additional interest has been acquired. Therefore, during the reporting period, the NCI’s share of the profit 
has been calculated as weighted average on their remaining share of ownership. 
Additions to the accounting principles 
Investment component
During the reporting period, investment components have been identified in reinsurance contracts held for cash 
flows repaid to a policyholder in all circumstances, i.e. regardless of whether an insured event occurs or not. 
Identified amounts of investment components are excluded from recognised amounts for reinsurance result in the 
statement of profit and other comprehensive income. 
Change in presentation
The accounting policies for presentation applied in the financial statement release are the same as those applied in 
the financial statements 2023, except for the updated accounting policy for the presentation of the change in 
discounting effect relating to risk adjustment. The change in discounting effect is now allocated between the 
insurance service expenses and insurance finance income or expenses.

Accounting principles requiring management judgement and key 
sources of estimation uncertainties
Application of new or revised IFRSs and interpretations
The Group will apply new or amended standards and interpretations related to the Group’s business in the financial 
years when they become effective, or if the effective date is other than the beginning of the financial year, during 
the financial year following the effective date. The new IFRSs coming into effect in financial year 2024 will not have 
any significant influence on the Group's financial reporting.
Acquisition of Topdanmark’s non-controlling interests
Measurement of acquired Topdanmark shares 
Sampo has determined that the measurement of acquired Topdanmark A/S shares is based on the compensation 
given as an exchange of those shares. The issue price was determined based on the closing price of the Sampo 
class A shares on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on the last full trading day prior to the Sampo Board resolving upon the 
directed issuance of shares. 
Recognition of liability to non-controlling interest
Following the completion of the offer and reaching ownership percentage of 92.6 per cent in Topdanmark, Sampo 
initiated a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares in Topdanmark A/S. Sampo concluded that an obligation 
to purchase the remaining Topdanmark A/S shares held by the NCI should be recognised as a liability against 
retained earnings. The liability amounted to EUR 325 million. The price per Topdanmark share offered in the 
compulsory acquisition was DKK 366.38, corresponding to 1.25 times the Sampo closing share price of EUR 39.29 
on Nasdaq Helsinki on 14 June 2024.
Pillar II
Sampo Group is within the scope of Pillar II regulations (EU Minimum Tax Directive and OECD Safe Harbour rules). 
Sampo Group companies have applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for any 
potential impacts of the top-up tax and account for it as a current tax should it occur. Sampo Group will, as of 
fiscal year 2024, be subject to the global minimum top-up tax rules either at the ultimate parent entity level, by 
Sampo plc in Finland, or domestic top-up tax in the countries where Sampo Group companies operate and where 
such rules are enacted. At the reporting date, Sampo Group has identified that Hastings’ operations in Gibraltar are 
subject to the global minimum top-up tax rules. 
Discontinued operations in 2023
In order to segregate Mandatum subgroup in the demerger of Sampo plc, Mandatum’s assets and liabilities were 
reclassified as a disposal group held for distribution to owners and related liabilities on 31 March 2023. In the 
statement of profit and other comprehensive income, the result of Mandatum is reported as a single line item as 
profit from the discontinued operations. The partial demerger was completed on 1 October 2023, and the first 
trading day for Mandatum on Nasdaq Helsinki was 2 October 2023. In the demerger, all the shares in Mandatum 
Holding Ltd (a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Sampo plc) and the related assets and liabilities were transferred 
without a liquidation procedure to Mandatum plc, a company incorporated in the demerger on the effective date. 
In addition, EUR 102 million of Sampo's general liabilities, not allocated to any specific business operations, were 
allocated to Mandatum plc. These liabilities cannot be legally transferred due to their nature, and therefore Sampo 
and Mandatum agreed on forming an equivalent debt relationship between them on 2 October 2023.

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 
On 17 June 2024, Sampo announced that Sampo and Topdanmark had entered into a combination agreement, 
based on which Sampo made  a recommended best and final public exchange offer to acquire all of the 
outstanding shares in Topdanmark not already owned by Sampo. The offer period began on 9 August 2024 and 
expired on 9 September 2024. For more detailed description of the acquisition, please see sections Other 
developments. 
Based on the final result announced on 16 September 2024, Sampo received acceptances representing 
approximately 92.6 per cent of the entire share capital and total number of voting rights in Topdanmark, excluding 
Topdanmark’s treasury shares. The Board resolved to issue 48,198,710 new Sampo A shares to Topdanmark 
shareholders and the subscription price for the new class A shares was EUR 41.50 per share. The price was 
determined based on the closing price of the Sampo class A shares on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the last full trading 
day prior to the Sampo Board resolving upon the directed issuance of shares. The share issue amounting to EUR 
2,000 million was recognised in the invested unrestricted equity.
As the transaction with the non-controlling interest is accounted for as an equity transaction, the compensation 
paid to the NCI for their shares in Topdanmark A/S is recognised as a decrease in the retained earnings amounting 
to EUR 1,666 million. The relative portion of the NCI’s share in equity, amounting to EUR 334 million, has been 
allocated to the owners of the parent company. 
During the reporting period, the NCI’s share in the statement of profit or loss of EUR 49 million is calculated as 
weighted average on their remaining share of ownership.
On 20 September 2024, Sampo commenced a compulsory acquisition of the 6,613,865 Topdanmark shares held by 
the remaining non-controlling shareholders of Topdanmark. Related to the compulsory acquisition, Sampo 
recognised a liability against the retained earnings amounting to EUR 325 million in the third quarter.
