Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Shareholders ofSaudi Reinsurance Company(A Saudi Joint Stock Company)Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Saudi Reinsurance Company (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, and the statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) that are endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and other standards and pronouncements that are issued by the Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (“SOCPA”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“the Code”), as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the requirements of the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of Reinsurance contract liabilities and Reinsurance contract assets

Reinsurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets are carried in the statement of financial position at X2,190 million and X120 million respectively.

The Company measures reinsurance contracts issued using the general measurement model (GMM) as the total of the fulfillment cash flows, which comprise estimates of the present value of the future cash flows (“PVFCFs”), with a risk adjustment for non-financial risk; and the contractual service margin (“CSM”).

The PVFCFs and the CSM amounted to X1,266 million and X750 million respectively at the reporting date.

The determination of the PVFCFs and the CSM involves actuarial models. Its accuracy is dependent on the input data being correct and requires management to apply significant judgements, make significant estimates, for example loss ratios, claims development factors and discount rates etc. and use actuarial models. The risk of error arises as a result of the inappropriate choice of actuarial methodologies, techniques and assumptions. Management used an external actuary to assist them in the aforementioned determination.

We considered the valuation of the PVFCFs and the CSM as a key audit matter due to the following:

  • significant judgments applied and estimates made by management;
  • the quantitative significance of the amounts to the financial statements; and
  • the level of audit effort required.

Refer to notes 3 and 4 for material accounting policy and significant accounting estimates and judgments adopted by the Company and note 7 for the details of reinsurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets.

Our audit procedures included, inter alia, the following:

  • Obtained an understanding of the process adopted by management to determine the PVFCFs and the CSM and identified the key controls in this process;
  • Assessed the abovementioned key controls to determine if they were appropriately designed and tested these controls to determine if they were operating effectively throughout the year;
  • Tested the data used in the process of valuation of the PVFCFs and the CSM, on a sample basis, by agreeing amounts to supporting documentation;
  • Tested samples of claims outstanding as at the year-end by comparing the amount of the claim to appropriate documentation, such as reports from loss adjusters, confirmations obtained from lawyers and reinsurance contracts; and
  • Evaluated the objectivity, skills, qualifications and competence of the independent external actuary and read the terms of the actuary’s engagement with the Company to determine if the scope of his work was sufficient for audit purposes.

In addition, with the assistance of our internal actuarial specialists, we:

  • Reviewed the report issued by the external actuary;
  • Evaluated the methodology applied to determine the PVFCFs and CSM;
  • Recalculated the CSM recognised for services provided for a sample of groups of contracts;
  • Assessed the appropriateness of key actuarial assumptions by independent recalculation of ultimate premiums and ultimate claims;
  • Reperformed the calculation of the present value of future cash flows on a sample basis and assessed the reasonableness of management’s estimates; and
  • We assessed the disclosures relating to this matter in the financial statements against the requirements of IFRSs.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024 were jointly audited by another joint auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 20 March 2025,
(corresponding to 20 Ramadan 1446H).

Other Information

Other information consists of the information included in the Company’s 2025 annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The Board of Directors and management is responsible for the other information in the annual report. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors’ report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above, when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRSs that are endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements issued by SOCPA, the applicable requirements of the Regulations for Companies and Company’s By-laws, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, i.e. the Board of Directors, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs that are endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs that are endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
  • may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosure are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because of the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
