Milan, 19 May 2017 – The meeting of the Board of Directors of Intesa Sanpaolo Vita of 5 May 2017, chaired by Luigi Maranzana and under the direction of the managing director Nicola Maria Fioravanti, also head of the Insurance Division of Intesa Sanpaolo, has approved the results only of subsidiaries subject to a controlling interest (excluding therefore Fideuram Vita) of the Intesa Sanpaolo Vita Insurance Group at 31 March 2017 and, for the Unitary Division², the consolidated/aggregate results of the Intesa Sanpaolo Vita Insurance Group, including Fideuram Vita, which represent, in terms of entity³, the uniform scope of the Insurance Division of the Parent Company Intesa Sanpaolo.

“A quarter of great satisfaction for the Insurance Companies of the Group” – said Nicola Maria Fioravanti, Head of the Insurance Division of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group – “which continue to contribute and strengthen the Wealth Management Company model that the Intesa Sanpaolo Group has adopted.

The results are the consequence of the strategic choices made over time which have allowed us to further strengthen assets under management that reach approx. 145 billion, shareholders' equity of over 5.3 billion and the solvency requirement equal to 190%.

We continue to maintain leadership in the Life segment thanks to the 23.9 billion of premiums collected in 2016 - corresponding to a market share of 20% - and we are working to achieve significant and sustainable growth also in the non-life segment, in order to position ourselves among the big players in the domestic market.

Over the past two years we have doubled non-life written premiums and the first quarter recorded over 116 million euro, an increase of approx. 24% compared to the same period in 2016.

We expect that on an annual basis the result will further improve, also thanks to the constant commitment of our Banca dei Territori colleagues and to an extension of the product range able to better respond to the diverse needs of our customers.

Maintaining the strong growth already achieved in the supplementary pension segment remains one of our further goals, where our target this year is 100,000 new subscriptions.

The results continue to confirm the effectiveness of our Bankinsurance model and the perfect synergy between the various Group Divisions to the benefit of our customers, of which we are extremely proud”.
