SCOR Global P&C<br />

The table below shows the movement in the net reserves for unpaid losses and loss expenses of SCOR Global P&C.<br />

The table begins by showing the initial reported year-end gross and net reserves, including IBNR, recorded at the balance<br />

sheet date at the exchange rates applicable at each balance sheet date.<br />

The cumulative redundancy/deficiency line represents the cumulative change in estimates since the initial reserve was<br />

established. It is equal to the latest incurred claim amount less the initial reserve. The amounts in this line in the loss<br />

development tables are not a precise indication of the adequacy of the initial reserves that appear on the first and third line<br />

of the table. Trends and conditions that have affected development of liabilities in the past may not be indicative of future<br />

developments. Accordingly, it may not be appropriate to extrapolate future redundancies or deficiencies based on these<br />

tables.<br />

The next section of the table shows the portion of the initial year-end net reserves that was paid (claims paid) as at the end<br />

of subsequent calendar year. Claims paid are converted to EUR at the average foreign exchange rates during the year of<br />

payment and are not revalued to the initial exchange rates at which the reserves were established. Additionally, payments<br />

include losses covered by unearned premium reserves, less DAC, in addition to those covered by the initial claims reserves.<br />

The net incurred losses section is the sum of the paid claims and the change in claims reserves and IBNR at the average<br />

exchange rate of the period.<br />

A significant portion of SCOR Global P&C reserves relates to liabilities payable in currencies other than the EUR. The<br />

fluctuations of the EUR to those currencies are embedded in the data in the below table.<br />

The following tables present the consolidated ten-year loss development of our Non-Life operations on an IFRS basis and a<br />

three-year reconciliation of beginning and ending reserve balances on an IFRS basis. The IFRS loss development data is<br />

presented on a calendar year basis, as well as the reserve reconciliation data represents our allocation of incurred and paid<br />

losses and loss adjustment expenses between current and prior years on a calendar year basis.<br />
