Explained well . Few things to add :
1. Solvency is now near to bear minimum 1.5
2. Heavy reliance on motor insurance
3. Expenses ratio as % looks less as Gross Written Premium is increased where in fact in amount terms it has risen
4. Commission is still when Go Digit is also receiving reinsurance ceded commission, so if that is removed for once, the gross Commission % comes even higher.
5. There could be one reason for it as they have increased the number of POS points of their insurance, so more to give to agents to attract more people
6. The higher expense and commission clearly reflect in Ever highest Combined ratios compared to peers who are lowering it YoY
7. Investment yield gets better as underlying markets are rallying.
8. Price to Gross Written Premium is still high equivalent to the closest counter ICICI Lombard, i.e. around 3.5x despite the intentional discount given by the management highlighting investor interest.
9. Customer retention ratios are higher but if you cross verify with peer quarterly reports, the data mentioned in RHP is lower compared to 73% retention ratio of ICICI Lombard mentioned in their quarterly reports, courtesy of
"Exclusively commissioned RedSeer report"
Awaiting your inputs !!
