Interim Management Report

for the six month period ended 30 June 2025

RSA Insurance Group Limited (the Company) is incorporated and domiciled in
England and Wales. The Company's immediate parent company is 2283485 Alberta
Limited. The Company's ultimate parent company and controlling party is Intact
Financial Corporation (IFC).

RSA Insurance Group Limited and its subsidiaries (known as the Group or RSA)
operate in the UK, Ireland and Continental Europe. Several of the Group's
subsidiaries are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the
Prudential Regulation Authority.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the Group is the transaction of insurance and
related financial services.

In the UK, RSA currently offers predominately commercial lines insurance
including specialty commercial lines insurance, as well as personal property
and pet insurance, but is in the process of repositioning to become a leading
UK commercial and specialty lines insurer.

In 2023, the Group made the decision to exit the UK Personal lines market
(Motor, Home and Pet), including the announcement of the sale of its direct
Home and Pet operations to Admiral Group plc, which closed on 31 March 2024,
and its decision to transfer the Home and Pet partnerships to other parties or
to allow them to expire over time.

Also in 2023, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire the commercial
lines broker business of Direct Line Insurance Group (the DLG acquisition),
increasing its market share in the domestic commercial lines market. The NIG
and Farmweb brands were acquired through the DLG acquisition. The operational
transfer completed on 1 May 2024 and the transfer of policy renewals and
writing of new business started in June and July 2024 respectively.

RSA is also a specialist insurer largely in the London Market, currently
distributing through brokers under the RSA brand.

In Ireland, RSA holds a top six position in the multi-line insurance market,
distributing through 123.ie (a direct-to-consumer Personal lines brand),
affinity partnerships and brokers. In addition, RSA is Ireland's largest
commercial wind energy insurer.

In Europe, RSA operates within France, Belgium, Netherlands and Spain as a
commercial lines insurer distributing under the RSA brand via brokers.

In April 2025 the Group announced the rebrand of RSA, NIG and FarmWeb to
Intact Insurance that is occurring in phases through to 31 March 2026. Further
information on the rebrand is provided in note 8.2 - Trade names - rebrand.

RSA also provides reinsurance to other companies within the IFC group and has
quota share arrangements with Unifund Assurance Company (Unifund) and Belair
Insurance Company Inc. (Belair), under which the insurance risk for a
proportion of the business of those companies is transferred to the Group.
Further information is provided in note 19 - Related party transactions.

Business review

The Group reports a profit before tax of £80m for the six month period ended
30 June 2025 (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £150m). Net written
premiums(1) for the six month period ended 30 June 2025 are £1,706m (six
month period ended 30 June 2024: £2,147m) and net assets at 30 June 2025 are
£2,703m (30 June 2024: £2,767m).

Profit before tax of £80m consists of £120m underwriting result (six month
period ended 30 June 2024: £146m), investment result of £126m (six month
period ended 30 June 2024: £123m), £(16)m of central costs (six month period
ended 30 June 2024: £(8)m), and £(150)m of other charges (six month period
ended 30 June 2024: £(111)m).

The financial results for the six month period ended 30 June 2025 reflect the
process of repositioning the UK business to commercial and specialty lines
insurance and include £(79)m of Integration and restructuring costs (six
month period ended 30 June 2024: £(75)m). During the six month period ended
30 June 2024, Other net (losses) gains includes an £85m gain related to the
sale of the UK direct Home and Pet operations. Further information is provided
in note 14.1 - Components of other net (losses) gains.

Some of these measures are alternative performance measures (APMs). Refer to
note 20 - Alternative performance measures for a reconciliation of these
measures to the interim condensed consolidated income statement, and to Our
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) below for further information.

The Group paid an interim ordinary dividend of £160m to 2283485 Alberta
Limited during the period.

Our KPIs

The Group uses both IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures (APMs) to assess
performance, including common insurance industry metrics. Refer to note 20 -
Alternative performance measures for a reconciliation of these measures to the
interim condensed consolidated income statement.

The KPIs most relevant to the financial performance of the Group are as
follows:

Net written premiums(1) £1,706m (six month period ended 30 June 2024:
£2,147m): premiums incepted in the period, irrespective of whether they have
been paid, less the amount shared with reinsurers. They represent how much
premium the Group retains for assuming risk. The Group targets growth that
does not compromise underwriting performance.

Underwriting result(1) £120m (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £146m).
Net earned premium and other operating income less net claims and underwriting
and policy acquisition costs. The Group aims to provide competitive pricing to
customers that delivers a sustainable ongoing underwriting profit for the
Group.

Profit before tax £80m (six month period ended 30 June 2024: £150m): net
profit or loss generated before taxes have been deducted. This is a key
statutory measure of the earnings performance of the Group. The Group seeks to
maximise its profit before tax.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Group continues to assess its principal risks and uncertainties and how
these are managed. Any update to the risk management information disclosed in
notes 9 and 11 of the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts is provided in the below
notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

(1)Net written premiums and the underwriting result are APMs. For further
information refer to note 20 for reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure.

1. Status of the Company

The Company is an indirect subsidiary of IFC. Its parent is 2283485 Alberta
Limited (a Canadian incorporated company), a wholly owned subsidiary of IFC,
the ultimate controlling party. It operates in the UK, Ireland and Continental
Europe.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's significant operating
subsidiaries are listed in Appendix A of the Group's annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. These interim
condensed financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the
meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the
year ended 31 December 2024 were approved by the board of directors on 4 March
2025 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The independent auditor's
report on the Group accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 is
unqualified, does not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and
does not include a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act
2006.

The registered office of the Company is Floor 8, 22 Bishopsgate, London, EC2N
4BQ, United Kingdom.

2. Basis of presentation
2.1 Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying
notes are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as
adopted by the UK. They were authorised for issuance in accordance with a
resolution of the Board of Directors on 5 August 2025.

2.2 Preparation and presentation of financial statements

These interim consolidated financial statements are condensed financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024,
prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.

The Group presents its interim condensed consolidated statement of financial
position broadly in order of liquidity.

Except where otherwise stated, all figures included in the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of pounds sterling
(£m).

2.3 Seasonality

General insurance business is seasonal in nature. While Insurance revenue net
of Expense from reinsurance contracts is generally stable from period to
period, insurance service results are influenced by weather conditions which
may vary significantly between reporting periods.

2.4 Going concern

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on
a going concern basis. In adopting the going concern basis, the Board have
reviewed the Group's ongoing commitments over the next twelve months. The
Board's assessment included review of the Group's strategic plans and latest
forecasts, capital position and liquidity including on demand capital funding
arrangements with IFC. The risk profile, both current and emerging, has been
considered, as well as the implications for capital. These assessments include
sensitivity analysis and stress testing and scenario analysis on
forward-looking capital projections, assessing a combined 1-in-10 year market
risk shock, a 1-in-20 year catastrophe shock, and reduction of longer-term
underwriting profitability. Key risk indicators demonstrate that the risk
appetite is aligned to the available capital. Risk management strategies are
in place to assess and mitigate climate risk, with stress and scenario testing
and climate scenario analysis informing the Group's policies and standards,
pricing, risk selection and reinsurance. The Board have considered the impact
of events after the balance sheet date, with none identified which could
impact the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on this review no material uncertainties that would require disclosure
have been identified in relation to the ability of the Group to remain a going
concern over the next twelve months from the date of the approval of the
interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.5 Foreign currency translation

The rates of exchange used in the preparation of the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements are as follows:

2.6 Geopolitical risk

The current geopolitical environment continues to contribute to uncertainty in
global trade, which has created capital market volatility and may affect the
global economic environment in the future.  Refer to note 4.2 - Geopolitical
risk of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2024 for more details.

5. Derivative financial instruments
5.1 Fair value and notional amount of derivatives

The Group generally uses derivatives for economic hedging purposes and to
improve the risk profile of its investment portfolio, provided the resulting
exposures remain within the guidelines of its investment policy. In certain
circumstances, these hedges also meet the requirements for hedge accounting.
Risk management strategies eligible for hedge accounting have been designated
as net investment hedges in foreign operations.

The following table presents the notional amount by remaining term to maturity
and fair value of derivatives held by the Group based on their designation in
qualifying hedge accounting relationships.

6. Fair value measurement

The fair value of financial instruments on initial recognition is normally the
transaction price, being the value of the consideration.  After initial
recognition, the fair value of financial instruments is based on available
information and categorised according to a three-level fair value hierarchy.

6.1 Fair value hierarchy

The three-level fair value hierarchy comprises:

i.      Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

ii.     Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from data other
than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived
from prices); and

iii.    Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation
techniques that include significant inputs for the asset or liability
valuation that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market (Level 1) if
quoted prices for that financial instrument are readily and regularly
available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or
regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring
market transactions on an arm's length basis.

For Level 1 and Level 2 investments, the Group uses prices received from
external providers who calculate these prices from quotes available at the
reporting date for the particular investment being valued. For investments
that are actively traded, the Group determines whether the prices meet the
criteria for classification as a Level 1 valuation. The price provided is
classified as a Level 1 valuation when it represents the price at which the
investment traded at the reporting date, taking into account the frequency and
volume of trading of the individual investment, together with the spread of
prices that are quoted at the reporting date for such trades. Typically,
investments in frequently traded government debt would meet the criteria for
classification in the Level 1 category. Where the prices provided do not meet
the criteria for classification in the Level 1 category, the prices are
classified in the Level 2 category. Market traded securities only reflect the
possible impact of climate change to the extent that this is built into the
market price at which securities are trading.

In certain circumstances, the Group does not receive pricing information from
an external provider for its financial investments. In such circumstances the
Group calculates fair value, which may use input parameters that are not based
on observable market data. Unobservable inputs are based on assumptions that
are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions
for the same instrument nor based on available market data. In these cases,
judgement is required to establish fair values. Changes in assumptions about
these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are financial contracts whose fair value is
determined on a market basis by reference to underlying interest rate, foreign
exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument or other indices.

Cash and cash equivalents, loans, other assets and other liabilities and
issued debt

For cash and cash equivalents, loans, commercial paper, other assets,
liabilities, accruals and issued debt, carrying amounts are reasonable
approximations of their fair values. Loans represent direct lending for
investment purposes.

The principal investments classified as Level 3, and the valuation techniques
applied to them, are described below.

Investment property

Investment property valuations are carried out in accordance with the latest
edition of the Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institution of
Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and are undertaken by independent RICS registered
valuers. Valuations are based on the comparative method with reference to
sales of other comparable buildings and take into account the nature, location
and condition of the specific property, factoring in the occupational lease
terms and tenant covenant strength as appropriate. The valuations also include
an income approach using discounted future cash flows, which uses unobservable
inputs, such as discount rates, rental values, rental growth rates, vacancy
rates and void or rent free periods expected after the end of each lease.

Private fund structures

Debt and equity private funds are principally valued at the proportion of the
Group's holding of the Net Asset Value (NAV) reported by the investment
vehicle. Several procedures are employed to assess the reasonableness of the
NAV reported by the fund, including obtaining and reviewing periodic and
audited financial statements and estimating fair value based on a discounted
cash flow model that adds spreads for credit and illiquidity to a risk-free
discount rate. If necessary, the Group will adjust the fund's reported NAV to
more appropriately represent the fair value of its interest in the investment.

The items presented in the following table are measured in the interim
condensed consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. The
table does not include financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair
value for which the carrying value is a reasonable approximation of fair
value.

6.3 Fair value sensitivity (level 3 assets)

The following table shows the level 3 financial assets and investment property
carried at fair value as at the balance sheet date, the main assumptions used
in the valuation of these instruments and reasonably possible decreases in
fair value based on reasonably possible alternative assumptions.

(1)The Group's investments in financial assets classified at level 3 in the
hierarchy are primarily investments in various private fund structures
investing in debt instruments where the valuation includes estimates of the
credit spreads on the underlying holdings. The estimates of the credit spread
are based upon market observable credit spreads for what are considered to be
assets with similar credit risk. Reasonably possible alternative valuations
for these instruments have been determined using an increase of 50bps in the
credit spread used in the valuation (31 December 2024: 50bps).  Reasonably
possible alternative assumptions for investment property have been determined
using an increase of 50bps in the equivalent yield (31 December 2024: 50bps).

8.2 Trade names - rebrand

In April 2025, the Group announced the rebrand of RSA, NIG and FarmWeb to
Intact Insurance that is occurring in phases through to 31 March 2026. As a
result, the Group reviewed prospectively the useful life of trade names
related to the DLG acquisition. These trade names are expected to be fully
amortised over the next nine months from the balance sheet date.

For the six month period ended 30 June 2025, the Group recorded accelerated
amortisation of £5m and integration costs of £4m relating to the rebrand.
These costs are recognised in Integration and restructuring costs.

The dated guaranteed subordinated GBP notes were issued on 10 October 2014 at
a fixed rate of 5.125%. The notes, with a remaining nominal value of £120m,
have a maturity date of 10 October 2045. The Group has the right to redeem
the notes in whole on specific dates from 10 October 2025 at a redemption
price equal to the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid
interest.  If the notes are not repaid on that date, the rate of interest
will be reset to 3.852% plus the appropriate benchmark gilt for a further five
year period.

The subordinated guaranteed US$ bonds were issued in 1999 and have a nominal
value of $9m and a redemption date of 15 October 2029. The rate of interest
payable on the bonds is 8.95%.

The bonds and the notes are contractually subordinated to all other creditors
of the Group such that in the event of a winding up or of bankruptcy, they
would be repaid only after the claims of all other creditors have been met.

The Group has the option to defer interest payments on the bonds and notes but
has to date not exercised this right.

There have been no defaults on any bonds or notes during the period.

17. Operating segments

17.1 Reportable segments

The Group's primary operating segments comprise UK, International and Central
Functions. The primary operating segments are based on geography and, during
2025, were engaged in providing personal and commercial general insurance
services. During 2023, the Group announced its exit from the UK Personal lines
general insurance market. This forms part of the UK operating segment. Refer
to note 5 - Business combinations and disposals in the Group's annual
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 for
further information on this transaction. International comprises operating
segments based in Ireland and Europe. Central Functions includes the Group's
internal reinsurance function, which includes reinsurance with the wider IFC
group. Each operating segment is managed by individuals who are accountable to
the Chief Executive and the Board of Directors, who together are the chief
operating decision makers in respect of the operating activities of the Group.
The UK is the Group's country of domicile and one of its principal markets.

17.2 Assessing segment performance

The Group uses the following key measures to assess the performance of its
operating segments:

i.      Net written premiums

ii.     Underwriting result

Net written premiums is a key measure of revenue used in internal reporting.

Underwriting result is the key internal measure of profitability of the
operating segments.

Net written premiums and underwriting result are APMs. Refer to note 20 for a
reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure.

Transfers or transactions between segments are entered into under normal
commercial terms and conditions that would also be available to unrelated
third parties.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTORS IN RESPECT OF THE HALF-YEARLY
FINANCIAL REPORT

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:

The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with
the UK-adopted IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and gives a true and fair
view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the
Group.

The interim management report includes a fair review of the information
required by:

a)   DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, being an
indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months
of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial
statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the
remaining six months of the year; and

b)   DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, being
related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of
the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial
position or performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in
the related party transactions described in the last annual report that could
do so.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO RSA INSURANCE GROUP LIMITED (the 'Company' and
'Group')

Conclusion

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
June 2025 which comprises the interim condensed consolidated statement of
financial position, the interim condensed consolidated income statement, the
interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim
condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the interim condensed
consolidated statement of cash flows and the related explanatory notes. We
have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report
and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial
statements.

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting
Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

 

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by
the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE) issued by the Financial
Reporting Council. A review of interim financial information consists of
making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A
review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable
us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.

 

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are
prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards. The
condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial
report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International
Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

 

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed
in an audit as described in the Basis for Conclusion section of this report,
nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have
inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that
management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern
that are not appropriately disclosed.

 

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with
this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease
to continue as a going concern.

 

Responsibilities of the directors

The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report
in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

 

In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible
for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative
but to do so.

 

Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the
Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the
half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions
Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive
than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of
this report.

 

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance
contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other
than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we
have formed.
