I AGREE
Rating Action:

Moody's affirms Generali Deutschland's A3 IFSR

02 Oct 2017

Generali Lebensversicherung A3 IFSR also affirmed but outlook revised to negative

London, 02 October 2017 -- Moody's Investors Service today affirmed the A3 insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) of Generali Deutschland AG and its various insurance subsidiaries including Generali Versicherung AG, Generali Lebensversicherung AG (Generali Leben), AachenMuenchener Lebensversicherung AG and Cosmos Lebensversicherungs-AG. The outlooks are stable apart from Generali Leben for which the outlook has been revised to negative from stable.

A list of all affected ratings is available at the end of this press release.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating affirmation follows the planned actions recently announced by Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A. (Baa1 IFSR, stable) as part of the launch of the next phase of Generali Deutschland's industrial transformation. Moody's views these actions as positive for new business growth. The negative outlook assigned to Generali Leben reflects the potential constraints on its credit profile as a result of Generali's intention to place it into run-off during Q1 2018, with the possibility to dispose this portfolio in the future.

In terms of the specific actions announced by Generali Deutschland, Moody's believes that the proposed concentration of ten product factories into one to deliver simpler and more innovative products should aid new sales, reduce costs and ultimately simplify the group structure in Germany. New sales are also likely to benefit from the strengthening of the Generali brand in traditional channels, the new exclusive distribution agreement with DVAG involving non-life business, and the expansion of products offered by CosmosDirekt, Germany's largest direct insurer. The Group also estimate that Generali Deutschland's solvency will increase by 26% points as a result of Generali Leben being placed into run-off.

The negative outlook assigned to Generali Leben reflects Moody's view that the credit profile of run-off companies is more constrained than those actively selling new business whose profits can be used to replenish any potential capital erosion. Furthermore, Moody's believes that the placing into run-off of Generali Leben, with the envisaged possibility to sell this portfolio in the future, reduces the likelihood and/or magnitude of future Group support in extreme scenarios.

More broadly, the rating affirmation reflects Generali Deutschland's very strong market position in German life and non-life insurance, a controlled and extensive distribution capability, a prudent non-life reserving policy and a high weight of unit-linked and term life policies in its life portfolio relative to German peers. More negatively, there is a high exposure to interest rate risk as the balance sheet of its life companies remains dominated by traditional products with interest rate guarantees. The rating also factors in the linkages with the Italian parent company Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A.

WHAT COULD MOVE THE RATINGS DOWN/UP

GENERALI DEUTSCHLAND

In terms of rating drivers going forward, Moody's said that factors that could lead to an upgrade include: An improvement in the credit profile of Generali Germany's parent company, Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A., as evidenced by an upgrade of its insurance financial strength rating.

Conversely, factors that could lead to a downgrade include: 1) A deterioration in the credit quality of Italy particularly in case of a more than one notch downgrade of Italy's sovereign rating, which would exert pressure on the credit profile of Generali Germany's parent company; 2) deterioration of solvency and operating performance of the operating companies in Germany.

GENERALI LEBEN

Moody's said that given the negative outlook an upgrade is unlikely.

Conversely, factors that could lead to a downgrade include: 1) deterioration of solvency, operating performance, and asset quality; 2) a disposal of Generali Leben and/or diminished Group support in Moody's view; 3) a deterioration in the credit quality of Italy particularly in case of a more than one notch downgrade of Italy's sovereign rating, which would exert pressure on the credit profile of Generali Germany's parent company.

SUMMARY PROFILE OF AFFECTED GROUP

Headquartered in Munich, Germany, Generali in Germany comprises a holding company, Generali Deutschland AG and several operating companies.
