OPERATING PERFORMANCE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the financial year ending at 31 December 2021
1. Organization and principal activities
Saudi Reinsurance Company (formerly known as Saudi Re for Cooperative Reinsurance Company) (the “Company”) is a Saudi joint stock company registered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under commercial registration number 7001556021 dated 12 Jumad Al-Awal 1429H (corresponding to 17 May 2008) with a branch in the Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia with license number IS2014146. The address of the Company’s registered office is at 4130 Northern Ring Road Al Wadi, Unit number 1, Riyadh 13313-6684, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The objective of the Company is to transact cooperative reinsurance and related activities inside and outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Basis of presentation
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard “IFRS’’ as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements issued by Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (“SOCPA”) (collectively referred to as “IFRS as endorsed in KSA”).
The Company’s statement of financial position is not presented using a current/non-current classification. However, the following balances would generally be classified as current: bank balances and cash, time deposits, accrued special commission income from time deposits, reinsurance premium receivables (net), investments held at fair value through income statement, accrued special commission income from bonds and sukuk, retrocession balance receivables, deferred excess of loss premiums, retroceded share of outstanding claims, retroceded share of claims incurred but not reported, prepaid expenses, deposits and other assets, accounts payable, margin loan payable, retrocession balances payable, outstanding claims, claims incurred but not reported, accrued expenses and other liabilities, provision for Zakat and tax and accumulated surplus. The following balances would generally be classified as non-current: held-to-maturity investments, accrued reinsurance premiums, retroceded share of unearned premiums, deferred policy acquisition costs, property and equipment, net, investment in an equity-accounted investee, statutory deposit, accrued income on statutory deposit, accrued retroceded premiums, unearned premiums, unearned retrocession commission, employees end of service benefits and accrued commission income payable to SAMA.
The Company presents its statement of financial position in order of liquidity. As required by the Saudi Arabian Insurance Regulations, the Company maintains separate books of accounts for Reinsurance Operations and Shareholders’ Operations and presents the financial statements accordingly (refer to Note 33). Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses clearly attributable to either activity are recorded in the respective accounts. The basis of allocation of expenses from joint operations is determined and approved by the Management and the Board of Directors.
The statement of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows of the insurance operations and shareholders’ operations which are presented in Note 33 of the financial statements have been provided as supplementary financial information to comply with the requirements of the guidelines issued by the Saudi Central Bank (“SAMA”) implementing regulations and is not required under IFRSs. SAMA implementing regulations requires the clear segregation of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the reinsurance operations and the shareholders operations. Accordingly, the statements of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows prepared for the reinsurance operations and shareholders’ operations as referred to above, reflect only the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and comprehensive gains or losses of the respective operations.
For preparing the financial statements in compliance with IFRS, the balances and transactions of the reinsurance operations are amalgamated and combined with those of the shareholders’ operations. Interoperation balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses, if any, are eliminated in full during amalgamation. The accounting policies adopted for the reinsurance operations and shareholders’ operations are uniform for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
The inclusion of separate information of the reinsurance operations with the financial information of the Company in the statement of financial position, statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, cash flows as well as certain relevant notes to the financial information represents additional supplementary information required as required by the implementing regulations.
Surplus is distributed between reinsurance operations and shareholders operations in accordance with the implementing regulations issued by the SAMA, whereby the shareholders of the Company are to receive 90% of the annual surplus from reinsurance operations and the policyholders are to receive the remaining 10%. Any deficit arising on reinsurance operations is transferred to the shareholders' operation in full.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the measurement at fair value of investments held at fair value through income statement and investment in an equity-accounted investee which is accounted for under the equity method and End of Service Benefits (EOSB) at present value of future obligations using projected unit credit method.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements have been presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SR), which is also the functional currency of the Company.
(d) Fiscal year
The Company’s fiscal year is aligned with the calendar year i.e. it begins at 1 January and ends at 31 December.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. Based on the adoption of amendments to existing standard and in consideration of current economic environment, the following accounting policies are applicable effective 1 January 2021 replacing, amending or adding to the corresponding accounting policies set out in 2020 annual financial statements.
A. Amendments to existing standards
Below amendments to accounting standards and interpretations became applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2021. The Management has assessed that the amendments have no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Standard/Amendments | Description | Effective date | ||
Amendment to IFRS 16, “Leases” – COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions | As a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, rent concessions have been granted to lessees. Such concessions might take a variety of forms, including payment holidays and deferral of lease payments. In May 2020, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 16 that provides an optional practical expedient for lessees from assessing whether a rent concession related to COVID-19 is a lease modification. Lessees can elect to account for such rent concessions in the same way as they would if they were not lease modifications. In many cases, this will result in accounting for the concession as variable lease payments in the period(s) in which the event or condition that triggers the reduced payment occurs. | Annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020 | ||
Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 | IBOR reform refers to the global reform of interest rate benchmarks, which includes the replacement of some interbank offered rates with alternative benchmark rates. | Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 |
B. Standards issued but not yet effective
In addition to the above-mentioned standards, the following standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective. Further, the Company has chosen not to early adopt the amendments and revisions to the International Financial Reporting Standards which have been published and are mandatory for compliance for the Company with effect date in future dates.
Standard, interpretation, amendments | Description | Effective date | ||
Amendment to IFRS 16, “Leases” – COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions Extension of the practical expedient | As a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, rent concessions have been granted to lessees. In May 2020, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 16 that provided an optional practical expedient for lessees from assessing whether a rent concession related to COVID-19 is a lease modification. Lessees can select to account for such rent concessions in the same way as they would if they were not lease modifications. In many cases, this will result in accounting for the concession as variable lease payments in the period(s) in which the event or condition that triggers the reduced payment occurs. On 31 March 2021, the IASB published an additional amendment to extend the date of the practical expedient from 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2022. | Annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 | ||
A number of narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 37 and some annual improvements on IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IAS 41 and IFRS 16. | Amendments to IFRS 3, “Business Combinations” update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations. Amendments to IAS 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment” prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the Company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in statement of income. Amendments to IAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making. Annual improvements make minor amendments to IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of IFRS”, IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, IAS 41, “Agriculture” and the illustrative examples accompanying IFRS 16, “Leases”. | Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 | ||
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements’, on classification of liabilities | These narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date (for example, the receipt of a waiver or a breach of covenant). The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the “settlement” of a liability. | Deferred until accounting periods starting not earlier than 1 January 2024 | ||
Narrow scope amendments to IAS 1, IFRS Practice Statement 2 and IAS 8 | The amendments aim to improve accounting policy disclosures and to help users of the financial statements to distinguish between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies. | Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 | ||
Amendment to IAS 12 – deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction | These amendments require companies to recognize deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. | Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 | ||
IFRS 9 | Financial Instruments | See note below | ||
IFRS 17 | Insurance Contracts | See note below |
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments
This Standard was published on 24 July 2014 and has replaced IAS 39. The new standard addresses the following items related to Financial Instruments:
Classification and measurement
IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both:
(i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and;
(ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (“SPPI”).
The financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and realized gains or losses would be recycled through profit or loss upon sale, if both conditions are met:
(i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and for sale and;
(ii) the contractual terms of cash flows are SPPI
Assets not meeting either of these categories are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Additionally, at initial recognition, an entity can use the option to designate a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.
For equity instruments that are not held for trading, an entity can also make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of the instruments (including realized gains and losses), dividends being recognized in profit or loss.
Additionally, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.
Impairment
The impairment model under IFRS 9 reflects expected credit losses, as opposed to incurred credit losses under IAS 39. Under the IFRS 9 approach, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. Instead, an entity always accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Hedge accounting
IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for hedge accounting that align hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The requirements establish a more principles-based approach to the general hedge accounting model. The amendments apply to all hedge accounting with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of special commission rate risk (commonly referred to as “fair value macro hedges”). For these, an entity may continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements currently in IAS 39. This exception was granted largely because the IASB is addressing macro hedge accounting as a separate project.
Effective date
The published effective date of IFRS 9 was 1 January 2018. However, amendments to IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts: Applying IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts, published on 12 September 2016, changes the existing IFRS 4 to allow entities issuing insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 to mitigate certain effects of applying IFRS 9 before the IASB’s new insurance contract Standard (IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts) becomes effective. The amendments introduce two alternative options:
(1) apply a temporary exemption from implementing IFRS 9 until the earlier of
(a) the effective date of a new insurance contract standard; or
(b) annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. On 17 March 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) decided to extend the effective date of IFRS 17 and the IFRS 9 temporary exemption in IFRS 4 from 1 January 2021 to 1 January 2023. Additional disclosures related to financial assets are required during the deferral period. This option is only available to entities whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance and have not applied IFRS 9 previously; or,
(2) adopt IFRS 9 but, for designated financial assets, remove from profit or loss the effects of some of the accounting mismatches that may occur before the new insurance contract standard is implemented. During the interim period, additional disclosures are required.
The Company has performed a preliminary assessment which included below:
(1) The carrying amount of the Company’s liabilities arising from contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 (including deposit components or embedded derivatives unbundled from insurance contracts) were compared to the total carrying amount of all its liabilities; and
(2) The total carrying amount of the Company’s liabilities connected with insurance were compared to the total carrying amount of all its liabilities. Based on these assessments the Company determined that it is eligible for the temporary exemption. Consequently, the Company has decided to defer the implementation of IFRS 9 until the effective date of the new insurance contracts standard. Disclosures related to financial assets required during the deferral period are included in the Company’s financial statements.
Impact assessment
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the application and implementation of IFRS 9. As of the date of the publication of these financial statements, the financial impact of adopting the standard has yet to be fully assessed by the Company.
As at 31 December 2021, the Company has total financial assets amounting to SR 2,343,530,101 (2020: SR 2,060,313,935) and insurance related assets amounting to SR 435,966,183 (2020: SR 434,519,347) respectively. However, the Company is yet to perform a detailed assessment to determine whether the debt securities meet the SPPI test as required by IFRS 9. Credit risk exposure, concentration of credit risk and credit quality of these financial assets are mentioned in Note 31. The Company is currently assessing the impact on application and implementation of IFRS 9, however the Company expects the classification and measurement of financial assets to be impacted from implementation of IFRS 9 as company is yet to perform a detailed review.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
Overview
This standard has been published on 18 May 2017, it establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts and supersedes IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts.
The new Standard applies to insurance contracts issued, to all reinsurance contracts and to investment contracts with discretionary participating features provided the entity also issues insurance Contracts. It requires to separate the following components from insurance contracts:
(i) embedded derivatives, if they meet certain specified criteria;
(ii) distinct investment components; and
(iii) any promise to transfer distinct goods or non-insurance services.
These components should be accounted for separately in accordance with the related standards (IFRS 9 and IFRS 15).
Measurement
In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4,which permitted insurers to continue to use the accounting policies for measurement purposes that existed prior to January 2005, IFRS 17 provides the following different measurement models:
The General Measurement Model (GMM) is based on the following “building blocks”:
(a) the fulfillment cash flows (FCF), which comprise:
- probability-weighted estimates of future cash flows,
- an adjustment to reflect the time value of money (i.e. discounting) and the financial risks associated with those future cash flows,
- and a risk adjustment for non-financial risk;
(b) the Contractual Service Margin (CSM). The CSM represents the unearned profit for a group of insurance contracts and will be recognized as the entity provides services in the future. The CSM cannot be negative at inception; any net negative amount of the fulfillment cash flows at inception will be recorded in profit or loss immediately.
At the end of each subsequent reporting period the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts is remeasured to be the sum of:
- the liability for remaining coverage, which comprises the FCF related to future services and the CSM of the group at that date; and
- the liability for incurred claims, which is measured as the FCF related to past services allocated to the group at that date.
The CSM is adjusted subsequently for changes in cash flows related to future services but the CSM cannot be negative, so changes in future cash flows that are greater than the remaining CSM are recognized in profit or loss. The effect of changes in discount rates will be reported in either profit or loss or other comprehensive income, determined by an accounting policy choice.
The Variable Fee Approach (VFA) is a mandatory model for measuring contracts with direct participation features (also referred to as “direct participating contracts”). This assessment of whether the contract meets these criteria is made at inception of the contract and not reassessed subsequently. For these contracts, in addition to adjustment under GMM, the CSM is also adjusted for:
(i) the entity’s share of the changes in the fair value of underlying items;
(ii) the effect of changes in the time value of money and in financial risks not relating to the underlying items.
In addition, a simplified Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) is permitted for the measurement of the liability for remaining coverage if it provides a measurement that is not materially different from the General Measurement Model for the group of contracts or if the coverage period for each contract in the group is one year or less. With the PAA, the liability for remaining coverage corresponds to premiums received at initial recognition less insurance acquisition cash flows. The General Measurement Model remains applicable for the measurement of the liability for incurred claims. However, the entity is not required to adjust future cash flows for the time value of money and the effect of financial risk if those cash flows are expected to be paid/received in one year or less from the date the claims are incurred.
Effective date
The Company intends to apply the Standard on its effective date i.e. 1 January 2023. The IASB issued an Exposure Draft Amendments to IFRS 17 proposing certain amendments to IFRS 17 during June 2019 and received comments from various stakeholders. On 17 March 2020, the IASB completed its discussions on the amendments to IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts that were proposed for public consultation in June 2019. It decided that the effective date of the Standard will be deferred to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier application is permitted if both IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments have also been applied.
Transition
Retrospective application is required. However, if full retrospective application for a group of insurance contracts is impracticable, then the entity is required to choose either a modified retrospective approach or a fair value approach.
Presentation and disclosures
The Company expects that the new standard will result in a change to the accounting policies for reinsurance contracts, retrocession and investment contracts with discretionary participating features, if applicable together with amendments to presentation and disclosures.
Impact assessment:
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the application and implementation of IFRS 17. As of the date of the publication of these financial statements, the financial impact of adopting the standard has yet to be fully assessed by the Company. The status of the implementation is as follows:
Impact area | Summary of impact | |
Governance and control framework | The Company has a comprehensive IFRS 17 governance framework which includes establishing a Steering Committee to provide oversight, monitor the progress of implementation, approve decisions, and assign roles and responsibilities to various stakeholders. The Company is currently implementing the control framework that will be adopted following IFRS 17 Go Live. | |
Operational area | The Company has completed the deployment of the IFRS 17 software, and is currently implementing changes to the accounting, actuarial modelling, processes and controls, data, and systems to comply with the requirements of IFRS 17. This includes implementing the Phase 3 Design decisions, blueprints of its end state functional design, transition processes, a comprehensive data policy and data dictionary. | |
Technical and financial area | The Company has documented the technical policy papers, finalizing the policy decisions and choices required under the IFRS 17 Standard. The policy decisions and choices are taken after performing detailed assessments and due deliberations among various stakeholders and have been approved by the Company’s IFRS 17 Steering Committee. The Company is currently assessing the expected financial impact of adopting the IFRS 17 Standard. | |
IFRS 17 Dry Run | The Company performed the first IFRS 17 dry run in November 2021. This involved preparing the IFRS 17 financial statements using data as at 31 December 2020 and the IFRS 17 software that has been implemented by the Company. The Company has refined its implementation plan taking into consideration the learnings from the first dry. The next IFRS 17 dry run will be performed in May 2022. | |
IFRS 17 Testing | The Company’s implementation plan includes a number of testing phases: parallel runs and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), in addition to the dry runs. |
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the application and implementation of IFRS 17 and has completed the Design phase on 31 March 2021. This will be followed by the implementation phase, which will involve refinement of Phase 3 design decisions, implementing changes to the accounting, actuarial modelling, processes and controls, data and systems, and performing user acceptance testing, dry runs, parallel runs and transition calculation to get the Company compliant with IFRS 17 by 1 January 2023. As of the date of the publication of these financial statements, the Company has submitted Phase 3 Implementation Plan to SAMA.
C. Significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, cash at banks and time deposits with an original maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.
Gross written premiums
Gross written premiums comprise total premiums in relation to contracts incepting during the financial year irrespective of whether they relate in whole or in part to a later accounting period. It includes an estimate of pipeline premiums, being those premiums written but not reported to the Company at the statement of financial position date. Pipeline premiums are reported as accrued reinsurance premiums in the statement of financial position.
Where contract terms require the reinstatement of coverage after a ceding Company’s loss, the mandatory reinstatement premiums are calculated in accordance with the contract terms.
Reinsurance premium receivable
Reinsurance premium receivable are recognized when notified by cedants and are measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the considerations received or receivable. Subsequently, it is measured at amortized cost. The carrying value of reinsurance premium receivable is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, with the impairment loss recorded in the statement of income. Reinsurance premium receivable are derecognized when the derecognition criteria for financial assets have been met.
Retrocession
The Company uses retrocession agreements to reduce its exposure to risks assumed to increase its aggregate underwriting capacity. The ceding of risk to retrocessionaires does not relieve the Company from its direct obligations to its ceding companies. Amounts receivable from retrocession is estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured parties. An impairment review of amounts recoverable under retrocession agreements is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting year. Impairment occurs when objective evidence exists that the Company may not recover outstanding amounts under the terms of the contract and when the impact on the amounts that the Company will receive from the retrocessionaire can be measured reliably. The impairment loss is recorded in the statement of income.
Premiums and claims are presented on a gross basis for both assumed reinsurance and retroceded business.
Retrocession liabilities represent balances due to retrocessionaires. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated retrocession contract. Retroceded assets and liabilities are derecognized when the contractual rights are extinguished or expired or when the contract is transferred to another party.
Deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)
Direct costs incurred during the financial period arising from the writing or renewing of reinsurance contracts are deferred to the extent that these costs are recoverable out of unearned premium. Subsequent to initial recognition, deferred costs are amortized using the same basis as for unearned premiums. Amortization is recorded in the statement of income. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period and are treated as a change in accounting estimate.
An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable amounts are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income. DAC is also considered in the liability adequacy test for each reporting period.
Deferred policy acquisition costs are derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of.
Investment in an equity-accounted investee
Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial statements include the share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of associates, until the date on which significant influence ceases.
Investments held at fair value through income statement
Investments held at fair value through income statement are investments designated at fair value through income statement at inception. For investments designated as fair value through income statement, the following criteria must be met:
• This designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets and liabilities or recognising gains or losses on a different basis; or
• The assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both, such assets and liabilities are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
These investments are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value.
Fair value adjustments and realized gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income.
Held-to-maturity investments
Investments having fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are initially recognised at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment in value. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition using an effective yield basis. Any gain or loss on such investments is recognised in the statement of income when the investment is derecognized or impaired.
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expense is not offset in the statement of income unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation.
Trade date accounting
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized/ derecognized on the trade date (i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the assets). Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require settlement of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.
Impairment of financial assets
An assessment is made at each statement of financial position date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset or a group of financial assets may be impaired. Impairment occurs when objective evidence exists that the Company may not recover outstanding amounts under the terms of the contract and when the impact on the amounts that the Company will receive can be measured reliably. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income. Impairment is determined as follows:
- For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in the statement of income;
- For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset; and
- For assets carried at amortized cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective special commission rate.
Prepayments
Prepayments represent expenses not yet incurred but already paid in cash. Prepayments are initially recorded as assets and measured at the amount of cash paid. Subsequently, these are charged to statement of income as they are consumed or expire with the passage of time.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. When significant parts of property and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in statement of income as incurred. Land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated.
The cost of all other property and equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Years | ||
Building | 33 | |
Computers and equipment | 3-5 | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 | |
Motor vehicles | 4 | |
Leasehold improvements | 10 |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. The carrying values of these assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of income or taken into income in the year the asset is derecognized.
Lease
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.
- Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
- fixed lease payments (including in substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives;
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
- the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
- the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
- the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
- the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating special commission rate, in which case a revise discount rate is used).
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The Company did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use of asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).
Accounts payable and accruals
Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.
Claims
Claims, comprise amounts of claims estimates notified by ceding companies under reinsurance contracts and related loss adjustment expenses, net of recoveries and are charged to statement of income.
These include the cost of claims and claims handling expenses paid during the period, together with the movements in provisions for outstanding claims, claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) and claims handling provisions. The ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided.
Any difference between the provisions at the reporting date and settlements and provisions in the following year is included in the statement of income for that year. The Company does not discount its liabilities for unpaid claims as substantially most claims are expected to be paid within one year of the financial reporting date.
The Company estimates its claims provisions based on previous experience. Independent loss adjusters normally estimate property claims. In addition, a provision based on Management’s judgment and the Company’s prior experience, is maintained for Incurred But Not Reported (“IBNR”) claims as well as for the cost of settling pending claims at the statement of financial position date. The IBNR amount is based on estimates calculated using widely accepted actuarial techniques such as Chain Ladder, Bornhuetter Ferguson Method and loss ratios which are reviewed at regular intervals by the Company’s appointed actuary. The techniques generally use projections, based on past experience of the development of claims over time, to form a view on the likely ultimate claims to be experienced. Regard is given to the variations in the business portfolio accepted and the underlying terms and conditions. Thus, the critical assumptions used when estimating provisions are that past experience is a reasonable predictor of likely future claims development and that the rating and business portfolio assumptions are a fair reflection of the likely level of ultimate claims to be incurred for the more recent years.
The outstanding claims are shown on gross basis and the related share of retroceded is shown separately.
Liability adequacy test
At each statement of financial position date, a liability adequacy test is performed to ensure the adequacy of the reinsurance contracts liabilities net of related deferred acquisition costs. In performing these tests, Management uses current best estimates of future contractual cash flows, claims handling and administration expenses. Any deficiency in the carrying amounts is immediately charged to the statement of income initially by writing off related deferred acquisition costs and subsequently, by establishing a provision for losses arising from liability adequacy tests.
End of service benefits
The Company operates an end of service benefit plan for its employees based on the prevailing Saudi Labor Laws. Accruals are made at the present value of expected future payments in respect of services provided by the employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The benefit payments obligation is discharged as and when it falls due. Remeasurements (actuarial gains/ losses) as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits obligation are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or any other benefits if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Zakat
The Company is subject to Zakat in accordance with the regulations of the General Authority of Zakat and Income Tax (“GAZT”). Zakat expense is charged to the statement of income. Zakat is not accounted for as income tax and as such no deferred tax is calculated relating to Zakat.
Income tax
The income tax expense or credit for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income, based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company, its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Adjustments arising from the final income tax assessments are recorded in the period in which such assessments are made.
Withholding tax
The Company withholds taxes on certain transactions with non-resident parties in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as required under Saudi Arabian Income Tax Law. Withholding taxes paid on behalf of non-resident parties, which are not recoverable from such parties, are expensed.
Value added tax (VAT)
Output VAT related to revenue is payable to tax authorities on the earlier of:
(a) collection of receivables from customers or
(b) delivery of services to customers.
Input VAT is generally recoverable against output VAT upon receipt of the VAT invoice. The tax authorities permit the settlement of VAT on a net basis. VAT related to sales/services and purchases is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position on a gross basis and disclosed separately as an asset and a liability.
VAT that is not recoverable is charged to statement of income as expense
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.
Premiums earned and commission income
Premiums and commission income are earned over the periods to which they relate to cover the reinsurance risk. Unearned premiums and commission income represent the portion of premiums written and commission income relating to the unexpired period of coverage and are deferred based on the following methods:
- Actual number of days for facultative reinsurance, non-proportional reinsurance treaties and portfolio transferred from insurance companies.
- For proportional reinsurance treaties under consideration of the underlying exposure in relation to the line of business as follows:
Line of business | Years | |
Engineering | 4 | |
Others | 2 | |
Special contracts | Based on underlying terms and nature |
The change in the provision for unearned premiums and commission income is taken to the statement of income in order to recognize revenue over the period to cover the reinsurance risks.
Deferred excess of loss premiums
The Company uses non-proportional excess of loss retrocession agreements on loss occurring basis to reduce its exposure arising from per risk, catastrophic losses on risks assumed and to manage underwriting capacity. The costs related to these agreements are amortized over the period of underwriting contracts and charged to statement of income.
Special commission income
Special commission income is recognized on an effective yield basis taking account of the principal outstanding and the applicable special commission rate.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
General and administrative expenses
All expenses incurred during the fiscal year not directly relating to underwriting are classified as general and administrative expenses.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Saudi Riyals at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. All differences are taken to the respective statements of income.
Segmental reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that is engaged in business activities from which it may earn revenues, incur expenses and which is subject to risk and rewards that are different from those of other segments. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer that makes strategic decisions. The Company is organised into business units based on their products, services and has seven reportable operating segments as follows:
- Engineering is a comprehensive insurance cover that is available to the insured in respect of contingencies which may happen on a construction or erection site. It provides an all risks cover for the works as well as a liability cover towards third parties for material damage or injury sustained as a result of the work being undertaken. The cover is also available for machinery.
- Fire insurance pays for specific losses when a property is damaged due to fire, flood, earthquake and other external perils. It may also provide indemnity for loss of profit in case of an industrial or commercial activity.
- Marine insurance covers the loss or damage to cargo, terminals and or damage of ships or other means of transport of cargo by which property is transferred between the points of origin and final destination.
- Motor insurance pays for loss or damage to own motor vehicles involved in accidents. It also pays for losses caused by its use to third party properties and bodily injuries
- Protection includes term and credit life insurance. Term life insurance is used to provide financial aid for dependents in case of death and in certain cases of illness or disability. It can be an individual or a group policy with set duration limit on the coverage with the option to renew the policy or not. Credit life insurance is used to pay off a borrower’s debt if that borrower dies, with set duration limit on coverage with the option to renew the policy or not.
- General accident covers a variety of events/properties such as money, liabilities and personal accident whether for individual or group.
- Speciality includes Company’s participation in Lloyd’s market which specializes in writing worldwide property, marine, energy, speciality and non-U.S. liability insurance.
- Others include following business segments:
- Whole accounts covers ceding company’s retention (mainly in property, engineering, marine hull, marine cargo and sometimes include general accident and/or motor) on excess of loss basis
- Aviation (covers Aviation Hull, Aviation Liabilities and Spare Parts)
- Energy (covers Property Damage, Liabilities and Business Interruption)
- Agriculture (covers standing crops)
- Political Risk (covers Political violence, Sabotage and Terrorism)
Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss which, in certain respects, is measured differently from profit or loss in the financial statements.
No inter-segment transactions occurred during the year. If any transaction were to occur, transfer prices between business segments are set on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Segment income, expense and results will then include those transfers between business segments which will then be eliminated at the level of financial statements of the Company.
Contingencies and commitments
Contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity; or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
(i) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or
(ii) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements and are disclosed, unless the probability of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Commitments represent binding agreements of the Company to carry out specified courses of action involving in a transfer of cash or other asset to the respective counterparties.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these estimates and assumptions could result in an outcome that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
Further, the Company has considered the following:
- On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak as a pandemic in recognition of its rapid spread across the globe. This outbreak has also affected the GCC region including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Governments all over the world took steps to contain the spread of the virus. Saudi Arabia in particular has implemented closure of borders, released social distancing guidelines and enforced countrywide lockdowns and curfews.
- In response to the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the GCC, non-GCC and other territories where the Company operates and its consequential disruption to the social and economic activities in those markets, the Company’s Management has proactively assessed its impacts on its operations and has taken a series of proactive and preventative measures and processes to ensure:
– the health and safety of its employees and the wider community where it is operating
– the continuity of its business throughout the world is protected and kept intact.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Accrued reinsurance premium
Estimates have to be made for expected future premium for policies already written but not reported at the reporting date. Due to the nature of reinsurance business, it takes a significant period of time before all premiums are reported for a given underwriting period. Therefore, considerable judgment, experience and knowledge of the business is required by Management in the estimation of accrued premiums due from contract holders. Actual results may differ resulting in positive or negative change in estimated accrued premium income.
Effective 1 January 2020, the Company has revised method of estimating accrued reinsurance premium to enhance objectivity and consistency in the process. Accordingly, the accrued reinsurance premium at the reporting date is now determined by using actuarial techniques unlike previous basis of estimated premium income (EPI) recommended by the underwriters. The change in the estimation of accrued reinsurance premium has not only impacted the gross written premium for the period but also various elements including retroceded premium, change in unearned premium, net, retrocession commissions, changes in incurred but not reported claims, net, policy acquisition cost and profit commissions, other underwriting expenses and their related balances in the statement of financial position.
The accrued premium estimates are reviewed regularly by the Management by using various methods, but primarily by using historical reporting trends as a base for assessing future premium amounts. Historical premiums developments are mainly analysed by underwriting year, by type and line of business.
Determination of whether control exist over associate
The Company has investment in an associate which is not “controlled” by the Company and therefore, the associate is not consolidated in these financial statements. Determining whether the Company controls the associate usually focuses on the assessment whether the Company is exposed to, or has the right to, variable returns from its involvement with the associate and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Company reassesses whether it has control if there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.
The ultimate liability arising from claims made under reinsurance contracts
The estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under reinsurance contracts is the Company's most critical accounting estimate. There are several sources of uncertainty that are needed to be considered in estimating the liability that the Company will ultimately pay for such claims. The provision for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) is an estimation of claims which are expected to be reported subsequent to the statement of financial position date, for which the insured event has occurred prior to the end of financial reporting date.
The primary technique adopted by Management in estimating the cost of notified and IBNR claims, is that of using the past claims settlement trends to predict future claims settlement trends. Claims requiring court or arbitration decisions are estimated individually. Independent loss adjusters normally estimate property claims. Management reviews its provisions for claims incurred, and claims incurred but not reported, on a quarterly basis. The Risk and Underwriting Committee, in conjunction with the Company’s external actuaries, compares the changes in the technical reserves, to determine whether the change is reasonable.
Deferred policy acquisition costs
Commission and other costs directly and indirectly related to the acquisition and renewal of reinsurance contracts are recorded as deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and are amortized in the statement of income over the related period of policy coverage. If the assumptions relating to future profitability of these policies are not realised, the amortization of these costs could be accelerated and this may also require additional impairment.
Fair values of financial instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- in the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
The Investment Committee, in conjunction with the Company’s external fund managers, evaluates the performance of each investment to determine whether the same is reasonable in comparison to the market.
The Company’s Management evaluates the changes in the fair value of each of the other assets and liabilities, to determine whether the applied methodology is reasonable.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company’s Management has made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company only enters into insurance and reinsurance contracts with recognized, creditworthy third parties. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to bad debts.
The five largest customers account for 37% (2020: 38%) of the reinsurance premium receivable as at 31 December 2021.
Reinsurance premium receivables include premium deposits of SR 48,662,934 (2020: SR 49,796,634) and claims deposits of SR 16,635,171 (2020: SR 13,734,834). These deposits are retained by the cedants as per the terms of reinsurance treaties and are of rolling nature. These deposits are released within 12 months after the inception of the reinsurance treaty.

Fair values of investment funds are based on the net assets value (“NAV”) as disclosed in the fund’s latest available financial statements. The discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model has been used to value the debt securities, this model considers the present value of net cash flows to be generated from the debt security, discounted at the market yield of similar quoted instruments. The estimate is adjusted for the effect of non-marketability of the debt securities. The following table shows a reconciliation from the beginning balances to the ending balances for the fair value measurement in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Opening | Purchase | Sale | Realized loss | Unrealized gain | Closing | |

15. Accrued Reinsurance premiums
The gross written premiums (GWP) of proportional treaty and facultative reinsurance contracts include estimates of premiums due to the Company but not yet reported by the cedant. This portion of GWP is considered as pipeline premium and accounted in the Statement of Financial Position as ‘Accrued reinsurance premiums’ net of related acquisition costs. These pipeline/accrued premiums are estimated at the inception of the reinsurance contract based on cedents/brokers forecasts and management’s evaluation of these forecasts. Management reviews and evaluates all premium estimates, comparing actual premiums to expected ultimate premiums on a quarterly basis and any adjustments to these estimates are recorded in the financial statements as and when updated information comes to light.

Salary growth rate | 2.90 | 2.90 | |
Mortality rates | 10 | 10 | |
Discount rate | 3.89 | 3.10 |

35 – 40 | 20 | 20 | |
40 – 45 | 20 | 20 | |
45 – 100 | – | – |
Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes as to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, the amount of defined benefit obligations would have been:
2021 | 2020 | ||||
Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease | ||
Salary growth (0.5% movement) | 534,410 | (505,163) | 502,476 | (502,476) | |
Mortality rates (10% movement) | (3,322) | 6,660 | (5,471) | 5,500 | |
Discount rate (0.5% movement) | (476,077) | 507,223 | (451,664) | 482,873 | |
Withdrawal rate (50% movement) | (470,899) | 381,234 | (526,590) | 491,856 |
Risks associated with defined benefit plans
Salary increase risk:
The retirement benefit of the company is one where the benefit is linked with final salary. The risk arises when the actual salary increases are higher than expectation and impacts the liability accordingly.
Longevity risks:
The risk arises when the actual lifetime of retirees is longer than expectation. This risk is measured at the plan level over the entire retiree population.

21. CLAIMS DEVELOPMENT TABLE
The following table shows the estimates of cumulative incurred claims, including both claims notified and incurred but not reported for each successive underwriting year at each reporting date, together with cumulative payments to date. The development of reinsurance liabilities provides a measure of the Company’s ability to estimate the ultimate value of the claims. The Company aims to maintain adequate reserves in respect of its reinsurance business in order to protect against adverse future claims experience and developments. As claims develop and the ultimate cost of claims becomes more certain, adverse claims experiences will be eliminated which results in the release of reserves from earlier underwriting years. In order to maintain adequate reserves, the Company will transfer much of this release to the future underwriting years’ reserves when the development of claims is less mature and there is much greater uncertainty attached to the ultimate cost of claims.

The Company has recorded Zakat and tax provision based on the circular No. 12746/16/1438H (18 January 2017) issued by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), in which Saudi public listed companies are to provide for tax and Zakat based on the shareholding percentages of GCC and non-GCC founding shareholders. The shareholding percentages of GCC and non-GCC founding shareholders were 99.6% and 0.4% respectively as at 31 December 2021 (2020: 99.1% and 0.9%).
(d) Status of assessment
The Company has filed its tax/Zakat returns for the year ended 31 December 2020 and obtained the final Zakat certificate up to 2020. However, it is Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA)’s discretion to issue further assessments for 2019 and 2020.
In October 2021, the ZATCA has issued assessments for the years 2019 and 2020 with additional Zakat and income tax liability amounting to SR 3.1 million and SR 4.2 million, respectively. The Company filed an appeal with General Secretariat of Tax Committees (“GSTC”) against this additional amount. The Company’s management believes that there is a strong case against this additional assessment since the Company’s position on this item is strongly supported by the Zakat regulations.
(e) Status of VAT assessment
Other assets include payment made by the Company in relation to VAT assessment raised by Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (
23. SHARE CAPITAL
The authorized, issued and paid up share capital of the Company is SR 891 million (2020: SR 810 million) divided into 89.1 million (2020: 81 million) shares of SR 10 each.
The Company’s Board of Directors recommended, at their meeting on 30 March 2021, that the Company’s ordinary share capital be increased from SR 810 million to SR 891 million, a 10% increase, by issuing bonus shares at the rate of one share to every ten shares held. During the year ended 31 December 2021, on 14 July 2021, the Company got approval from the extraordinary general meeting to increase its share capital. The Company has utilized SR 81 million of its retained earnings for this purpose.

The weighted average number of shares have been retrospectively adjusted for all prior periods to reflect the element of increase in share capital as follows:
2021 | 2020 | ||
Issued ordinary shares opening balance as at 1 January | 81,000,000 | 81,000,000 | |
Effect of increase in capital | 8,100,000 | 8,100,000 | |

The Company has deposited an amount of SR 89.1 million (31 December 2020: SR 81 million) with a local bank, which has been rated “A” by Standard & Poor’s Rating agency representing the statutory deposit of 10% of its paid-up capital as required by the Implementing Regulations of the “Law On Supervision of Cooperative Insurance Companies” issued by SAMA. This statutory deposit cannot be withdrawn without the consent of SAMA. The statutory deposit generates special commission income which is accrued on regular basis and is shown as a separate line item as part of the shareholders’ liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position as “Accrued commission income payable to SAMA”. The accrued commission on the deposit as at December 2021 is SR 20,962,172 (31 December 2020: 20,185,653) and has also been disclosed in assets as “Accrued income on statutory deposit”.

31. RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk governance
The Company’s risk governance is manifested in a set of established policies, procedures and controls which uses the existing organizational structure to meet strategic targets. The Company’s philosophy revolves on willing and knowledgeable risk acceptance commensurate with the risk appetite and a strategic plan approved by the Board of Directors. The Company is exposed to insurance, retrocession, special commission rate, credit, liquidity and currency risks.
Risk management structure
A cohesive organizational structure is established within the Company in order to identify, assess, monitor and control risks.
Board of Directors
The apex of risk governance is the centralized oversight of the Board of Directors providing direction and the necessary approvals of strategies and policies in order to achieve defined corporate goals.
Senior management
Senior Management is responsible for the day to day operations towards achieving the strategic goals within the Company’s pre-defined risk appetite.
The risks faced by the Company and the way these risks are mitigated by Management are as follows:
31.1 Reinsurance risk
The risk resulting from reinsurance business written is the risk that an insured event will occur including the uncertainty of the amount and timing of any resulting claim. The principal risk the Company faces under such reinsurance contracts is that the actual claims and benefit payments exceed the carrying amount of reinsurance liabilities. This is influenced by the frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid being greater than originally estimated and subsequent development of long-term claims.
The variability of risks is improved by the diversification of the risks written and the build-up of a large portfolio of reinsurance contracts, (inward business) as a more diversified portfolio is less likely to be affected across the board by change in any subset of the portfolio. The variability of risks is also improved by a careful selection of inward business, by the underwriting guidelines as well as the use of retrocession protection. The Company’s underwriting strategy includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Diversification in the type of accepted risks, and within each of these categories to achieve sufficiently large population of risks to reduce the variability of the expected outcome.
- Diversification of the underwriting risks in terms of type and amount of risk, industry and geographical location.
In order to minimize its financial exposure arising from large claims, the Company in the normal course of business, enters into retrocession agreements with other parties. Such retrocession agreements provide for higher underwriting capacity, and allow management to contain exposure with the risk appetite of the Company. The retrocession is effected under proportional treaties such as quota share and surplus and non-proportional treaties such as excess of loss for risk and catastrophe to ensure its net retention is aligned with its risk tolerance.
Although the Company has retrocession agreements, it is not relieved of its direct obligations to its ceding companies and thus a credit exposure exists with respect to its retrocessionaires, to the extent that any retrocessionaire is unable to meet its obligations assumed under such retrocession agreements.
Geographical concentration of risk
The Company accepts reinsurance business from insurance companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The written premiums are distributed geographically as follows:
For the year ended 31 December 2021 | Amount SR | Percentage % |
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia | 482,157,923 | 43 |
Asia | 321,286,167 | 29 |
Other Middle Eastern Countries | 91,740,808 | 8 |
Africa | 37,913,985 | 4 |
Others | 182,780,817 | 16 |
1,115,879,700 | 100 |
For the year ended 31 December 2020 | Amount SR | Percentage % | ||
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia | 346,881,286 | 37 | ||
Asia | 279,437,127 | 30 | ||
Other Middle Eastern Countries | 108,596,368 | 12 | ||
Africa | 37,869,697 | 4 | ||
Others | 162,329,739 | 17 | ||
935,114,217 | 100 |
The Company monitors concentration of risk by evaluating multiple risks covered in the same geographical location or by same party. For flood or earthquake risk, a complete city is classified as a single location. For fire and property risk a particular building and neighboring buildings, which could be affected by a single claim incident, are considered as a single location. Similarly, for individual marine risk, multiple risks covered in a single vessel voyage are considered as a single risk while assessing concentration of risk, however, for treaties where there are multiple risks are covered, there are limits for unknown accumulation. The Company evaluates the concentration of exposures to individual and cumulative insurance risks and establishes its reinsurance policy to reduce such exposures to the levels acceptable to the Company.
Key assumptions
The key assumptions underlying the liability estimates are the Company’s estimated ultimate loss ratio. The ultimate loss ratio was determined using actuarial methods.
Sensitivities
The analysis below is performed for reasonably possible movements in key assumptions such as the ultimate loss ratio with all other assumptions held constant showing the impact on net liabilities and net income as follows:
31 December 2021 | Change in assumptions | Impact on net liabilities SR | Impact on net income SR |
Ultimate loss ratio | +10% | 56,531,201 | 56,531,201 |
-10% | (56,531,201) | (56,531,201) |
31 December 2020 | Change in assumptions | Impact on net liabilities SR | Impact on net income SR | |||
Ultimate loss ratio | +10% | 39,197,981 | 39,197,981 | |||
-10% | (39,197,981) | (39,197,981) |
31.2 Retrocession risk
In order to minimize its financial exposure arising from large claims, the Company in the normal course of business, enters into retrocession agreements with other parties. Amounts recoverable from retrocessionaire are estimated and recognized in a manner consistent with the amounts associated with the underlying accepted policy benefits and in accordance with the terms of the respective retrocession treaties and are presented in the statement of financial position as reinsurance assets.
To minimize its exposure to significant losses from retrocessionaire insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its retrocessionaires and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the retrocessionaire.
Retrocessionaires are selected using the following parameters and guidelines set by the Company’s Board of Directors and Risk and Underwriting Committee. The criteria may be summarized as follows:
a. Minimum acceptable credit rating by recognized rating agencies (e.g. Standard & Poor’s) that is not lower than BBB (S&P) or equivalent.
b. Reputation of particular retrocessionaire companies.
c. Existing or past business experience with the retrocessionaire.
Furthermore, the financial strength, managerial and technical expertise as well as historical performance, wherever applicable, are thoroughly reviewed by the Company and matched against a list of requirements pre-set by the Company’s Board of Directors and Risk and Underwriting Committee before approving them as retrocessionaires.
Retrocession contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to ceding companies and as a result the Company remains liable for the portion of outstanding claims reinsured to the extent that the retrocessionaire fails to meet the obligations under the retrocession agreements. The net credit exposure in this connection is SR 116.1 million (due from retrocessionaires) (2020: SR 112.9 million).
31.3 Regulatory framework risk
The operations of the Company are subject to local regulatory requirements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Such regulations not only prescribe approval and monitoring of activities but also impose certain restrictive provisions such as capital adequacy to minimize the risk of default and insolvency on the part of the reinsurance companies and to enable them to meet unforeseen liabilities as these arise. The Company has stipulated risk management framework policy wherein the policies and procedures are defined to control and mitigate risk.
31.4 Claims management risk
Claims management risk may arise within the Company in the event of inaccurate or incomplete case reserves and claims
settlements, poor service quality or excessive claims handling costs. These risks may damage the Company and undermine its ability to win and retain business, or incur punitive damages. These risks can occur at any stage of the claims life cycle.
The Company’s claims teams are focused on delivering quality, reliable and speed of service. Their aim is to adjust and process claims in a fair, efficient and timely manner, in accordance with the policy’s terms and conditions, the regulatory environment, and the business’ broader interests. Prompt and accurate case reserves are set for all known claims liabilities, including provisions for expenses, as soon as a reliable estimate can be made of the claims liability.
31.5 Reserving and ultimate reserves risk
Reserving and ultimate reserves risk occurs within the Company where established insurance liabilities are insufficient through inaccurate forecasting, or where there is inadequate allowance for expenses and reinsurance bad debts in provisions. To manage reserving and ultimate reserves risk, the Company actuarial team uses a range of recognised techniques to project ultimate claims, monitor claims development patterns and stress-test ultimate insurance liability balances.
The objective of the Company’s reserving policy is to produce accurate and reliable estimates that are consistent over time and across classes of business (see Note 4).
31.6 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party will fail to discharge an obligation related to a financial instrument and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. For all classes of financial assets held by the Company, the maximum exposure to credit risk to the Company is the carrying value as disclosed in the statement of financial position. 37% of the Company’s receivables is due from one ceding and four broker companies as at 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: 38%). The company does not provide for reinsurance premium receivable from local ceding companies. However, the following policies and procedures are in place to mitigate the Company’s exposure to credit risk:
- To minimize its exposure to significant losses from retrocessionaires insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its retrocessionaires counterparties. Accordingly, as a pre-requisite, the parties with whom retrocession is effected are required to have a minimum acceptable security rating level affirming their financial strength.
- The Company, with respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets, only deals with commercial banks with strong financial position and credit ratings.
- The Company enters into inward insurance contracts with recognized, creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivables from ceding companies are monitored on an ongoing basis in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to bad debts.
- The Company seeks to limit credit risk with respect to ceding companies through monitoring outstanding receivables.
The credit ratings of the retrocessionaires ranges from B+ to AA.
The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk for the financial assets of the statements of financial position.

31.8 Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s transactions are carried out in local and foreign currencies. Management believes that there is no significant foreign currency exposure since most of the Company’s transactions that are not denominated in Saudi Riyals were undertaken in foreign currencies which are pegged to USD. Furthermore, Saudi Riyals are pegged to USD.
The table below represents the Company’s assets and liabilities denominated in major currencies as follows:

31.9 Special commission rate risk
The Company is exposed to special commission rate risk on its bonds and sukuk investments. Special Commission rate risk arises on bonds and sukuk which are exposed to the fluctuations in special commission rates.
The Company manages special commission rate risk by investing in various long and short duration financial assets, along with cash and cash equivalents. The investment committee monitors the duration of these assets on a regular basis. Duration of reinsurance operations and Shareholders operations’ investments in bonds and sukuk portfolios as at 31 December 2021 is around 5.1 years (31 December 2020: 5.37 years). A hypothetical increase/decrease of 10 basis points in yield curve will entail decrease/increase in bond/sukuk portfolio values of reinsurance operations and Shareholders operations’ investments by SR 2.35 million as at 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: SR 1.3 million).
a. Market price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate caused by the factors (other than those arising from commission rate risk or currency risk), that affect all financial instruments traded in the market.
Efficient management of market price risk is key to the investment of company assets. Appropriate levels of investment risk is determined by risk/return profile of the assets. The Company has a diversified portfolio of investments, including investment in the listed equities securities. The Company manages the equity market price risk through diversification and by placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. A 5% change in the fair value of these investments, with all other variables held constant, would impact the statement of income by increase / decrease of SR 5.67 million.
(2020: Nil).
31.10 Capital management risk
Capital requirements are set and regulated by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency. These requirements are put in place to ensure sufficient solvency margins. Further objectives are set by the Company to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business objectives and maximize shareholders’ value.
The Company manages its capital requirements by assessing shortfalls between reported and required capital levels on a regular basis. Adjustments to current capital levels are made in light of changes in market conditions and risk characteristics of the Company’s activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders or issue shares.
The table below summarizes the minimum regulatory capital of the Company and the total capital held:
2021 SR | 2020 SR | ||
Total capital held | 963,996,157 | 923,179,471 | |
Minimum regulatory capital | 200,000,000 | 200,000,000 |
In the opinion of the management, the Company has fully complied with the externally imposed capital requirements during the reported financial year.
b. Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments consist of financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Underlying the definition of fair value is a presumption that an enterprise is a going concern without any intention or need to liquidate, curtail materially the scale of its operations or undertake a transaction on adverse terms. The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, investments and accrued income and its financial liabilities consist of payables, accrued expenses and gross outstanding claims. The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying values at the statement of financial position.
32. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
(a) Legal proceedings and regulations
The Company operates in the reinsurance industry and is subject to legal proceedings in the normal course of business. While it is not practicable to forecast or determine the final results of all pending or threatened legal proceedings, management does not believe that such proceedings (including litigations) will have a material effect on its results and financial position.
(b) Recoverable and Guarantee deposits
The Company has deposited SR 171,976,521 (31 December 2020: 171,812,128) with Lloyd’s London as FAL for its continued participation in a Lloyds Syndicates and for 2019, 2020 and 2021 underwriting year. In addition at the end of previous year ended 31 December 2020, the Company has deposited SR 47,250,000 out of which SR 37,330,434 had been pledged with local bank to obtain the standby letter of credit towards Fund for its participation in a Lloyds Syndicates and for 2017 and 2018 underwriting years. During the year, the guarantee deposit with Lloyds have been withdrawn.

34. IMPACT OF COVID 19 OUTBREAK
In response to the spread of the COVID-19 in GCC and other territories and its resulting disruptions to the social and economic activities in those markets, management has proactively assessed its impacts on its operations and has taken a series of preventive measures, including the creation of on-going crisis management teams and processes, to ensure the health and safety of its employees, customers, and wider community. The Company’s operations may get affected due to COVID-19 claims on life and protection policies and business interruption policies. The Company’s operations currently remain largely unaffected on medical segment as the insurance industry is facilitated by the Government through free treatments of the COVID-19 affected patients.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 claims reported to the Company for life business so far amount to SR 13.1 million. The COVID-19 claims reported for business interruption policies are immaterial at this stage. The Company continues to monitor its exposure, including (i) the operational impact on its business, (ii) the consequences of a deterioration in macroeconomic conditions or of a slowdown in the flow of people, goods and services, especially on new business volumes, (iii) the extent of reinsurance coverage impacted, including retrocession cover, and (iv) change in asset prices and financial conditions.
35. RECLASSIFICATION
During the year, the Company has reclassified certain retrocessionaires’ account balances from retrocession balances payable to retrocession balances receivable. The reclassification was done to conform to the current period presentation and the impact to the overall financial statement’s presentation is not material.
The following table shows the impact on each financial statement caption affected by the reclassification:
