09/04/2018

• CCR premium income stands at € 898 m at June 30, 2018 CCR public reinsurance activities, fueled chiefly by its Natural Disaster activity, are stable.

• The total cost of insured losses born by CCR was significant in the first half. A series of significant Natural Disaster events impacted the French territories. These primarily included the floods consecutive to Storm Eleanor (September 4 and 5), the floods occurring in the Seine and Marne basins (January-February 2018), and the violent storms of last spring. These events represent an estimated cost of € 262 m to CCR.

• The market value of CCR assets amounts to almost € 8 b. CCR assets decreased by almost € 500 m compared to December 31, 2017 due to the disbursements realized in the beginning of the year to compensate for losses arising from Hurricane Irma and the June 2016 Seine flood. The annualized rate of return stands at 1.6% at June 30, 2018 (stable compared to year-end 2017).
