Lisbon, 30th September 2024.GamaLife closed the first six months of 2024 with an IFRS net profit of 21.7 million euros, marking another successive period of positive growth.
Excluding one-off and exceptional items, the Company’s normalised pre-tax result was 30.8 million euros for H1 2024, compared with 34.8 million euros for H1 2023.
At 30 June 2024, the Solvency Capital Requirement Coverage Ratio reached 254%, a strong increase from 239% in December 2023, reflecting continuing capital generation both in Portugal and Italy alongside a conservative management of the investment portfolio.
Shareholders equity totalled 278 million euros, an increase of 15 million euros since December, reflecting the profit for the period offset by movement in reserves for the financial component of insurance contracts. Including the IFRS17 CSM of 343 million euros, and considering the net tax asset position of the company, the total comprehensive equity was in excess of 600 million euros at June 2024.
The Company reported total production of 231 million euros for the first six months of the year mainly reflecting sales of guaranteed and unit-linked products in Portugal. Commencing in the second half of 2024, GamaLife has started new business in Italy with a new guaranteed product (G Solution) targeting gross returns around 4.5% and distributed in a fully digital way through its new local IT platform.
‘We continue to deliver on our strategy both in Portugal and Italy combining growth, profitability and capital strength. I am particularly excited about the months ahead as we launch our distribution in Italy with a flagship guaranteed product that displays one of the best returns in the market. In Portugal we mark another year of innovation with the launch of the digital communication to clients, already reaching over 60% of them by email instead of paper, thus contributing to a more sustainable future for us and our planet. GamaLife now has over 100 employees in both countries with a strong leadership team and great talent at all levels of the organization.’ says Matteo Castelvetri, CEO of GamaLife.
