Earnings Forecast
16.11.2020

Vienna -

* Profit before taxes for the 1st to 3rd quarter of 2020 of about EUR 266
million
* Profit before taxes in the range of EUR 300 - 350 million expected for 2020

In the course of the results preparation for the 1st to 3rd quarter of 2020, the
impacts of the expected dampening effects due to the Covid-19 pandemic are
becoming more concrete. While the operating insurance business is performing
solidly and the premium development is slightly positive compared to the
previous year, the financial result was around EUR 114 million lower than in the
1st to 3rd quarter of 2019. This was driven by the negative performance of the
capital markets in the reporting period. The decline has a direct impact on the
result before taxes, which amounted to EUR 266 million in the 1st to 3rd quarter
of 2020 (minus 29% compared to the same period last year).

Based on these results for the 1st to 3rd quarter of 2020, which will be
published in detail as planned on November 26, 2020, and taking into account
current developments, the Managing Board of Vienna Insurance Group expects
profit before taxes for the full year 2020 to be in a range of EUR 300 - 350
million, subject to unpredictable volatilities on capital markets.
