Commenting on the results Neerja Kapur, Chairman cum Managing Director said "After a challenging FY22 where the company`s performance was adversely affected by COVID claims, the company has delivered good results in FY23. The gross written premium increased by only 5.3% as the company pursued its strategy of growth with profitability, which meant that the company had let go of some businesses where the price was not adequate. The profit after tax has increased to Rs 1055 crore in FY23 as compared to PAT of 164 crore of FY22, an increase of 543%. The underwriting results were negatively impacted to an extent of 224 crore due to adverse development of claims pertaining to previous years in the crop line of business. CAT losses in foreign operations in the 4th quarter also negatively impacted the results, with the full year results getting adversely impacted by 107 crore. In FY23, the company absorbed the entire impact of wage arrears and additional provisioning on account of employee benefits to the extent of 3445 crore, which was partially offset by investment income due to good market conditions.

Operationally, the company looks forward to an improved performance in FY24 in terms of premium growth, loss ratio, combined ratio as well as profits. The company has rolled out its price increases in retail health after a gap of 6 years. The pricing in the group health segment has been tightened. The Motor portfolio is witnessing growth once again after many years of muted performance and steps are being taken to reduce its loss ratio. The revised product filing guidelines have ensured that the time to market for new products has decreased significantly. The company will be launching several new products in the coming year."
