We also continued to deliver on our promise of being our customers’ reliable insurer.

Looking at some of the key financial highlights, underwriting discipline was maintained and Adnic delivered solid underwriting income with 17.2 per cent growth, compared to same quarter last year. The growth in underwriting income was due to the high client retention ratio and to winning new business whilst maintaining our prudent underwriting approach. Investment income through P&L was up 8.5 per cent compared to prior year and total investment return has recovered strongly with normalisation in financial market conditions.

Adnic remains focused on delivering high level of service and improving efficiencies through judicious investments in technology. The net profit for the first quarter represents an earnings per share of Dh0.23.

Adnic has built a strong track record of positive underwriting performance while maintaining its market share over the past five years. According to S&P, the company’s capital adequacy will remain at the 'AAA' benchmark in its model.
