Pascal Michard, Aéma Groupe Chairman of the Board of Directors, said: "In 2023 we completed the group's structure, and confirmed our mutualist mission at the service of everyone. Our size and our dynamism mean we can look to the future with strong commitments that echo the group’s fundamentals. We are well placed to amplify our primary mission of offering the most accessible protection to everyone, in a context where social, economic and environmental imperatives are more pressing than ever.” Adrien Couret, Aéma Groupe CEO, added: "From its foundation by Macif and AÉSIO mutuelle, to the creation of Ofi Invest and the acquisition of Abeille Assurances, Aéma Groupe has, in the last three years, established a new model for the French insurance landscape. We are convinced that the mutualist not-for-profit model is a strength in a volatile world. It’s a model that works because of the complementary nature of our diverse business lines, and because of our strong brands. It’s a model of openness, proved by tactical acquisitions we’ve made across the value chain. 2023 marks the end of our first strategic plan. We’ve achieved resilient growth, earnings and solvency in what has become a far more challenging environment. Our next strategic plan will be devoted to consolidating this model, between the development of our brands and synergies within the Group".
AÉMA GROUPE: A BALANCED DIVERSIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES AND RISKS 1. Premium income that reflects the French insurance market The Group's premium income totalled 15.6 billion euros in 2023, down 3.1% on 2022. In the property and casualty business, earned premiums rose by 4.2% to 5.7 billion euros, accounting for 37% of the Group's consolidated premium income. This increase was driven by strong development momentum in both motor and home insurance. In the health and personal risk business, earned premiums rose by 2.7%* to 3.3 billion euros, contributing 21% to the Group's consolidated premium income. *+0.6% on a like-for-like basis The pensions and savings business, with gross new money of 6.6 billion euros, contributed 42% of the Group's consolidated premium income. On a like-for-like basis, business was down 11.1%. However, assets under management, which account for the bulk of the retirement savings sector's revenues, increased to 107.4 billion euros, confirming the solidity of the business model. 2. An economic contribution driven by retirement savings and asset management Group net income in 2023 was €50.9 million, down 58.2%. This was marked by a fall in the technical margin of the property and casualty business (combined ratio of 105.6%), penalised by a year of extreme weather events, tighter reinsurance conditions, and significant inflation in average repair costs. In health and personal risk, the technical margin improved following pricing adjustments (combined ratio of 100.9%), a better technical balance, and reduced operating costs. The investment margin also improved as a result of higher interest rates and capital gains. Net pensions and savings income remains the main contributor to the Group's net income, at €100.8 million euros. However, this was down on the previous year, partly explained by the full-year effect of the subordinated debt issued by Abeille Vie in 2022. Assets under management amounted to 203.6 billion euros (+13.7% vs 2022). Much of this growth came from the acquisition of Egamo (18.5 billion euros AuM) by Ofi Invest on December 31, 2023*. Asset management made a positive contribution of €47 million to the Group's net income. *Pro forma scope including Egamo assets, resulting from the announcement in November 2023 of a long-term partnership with the VYV mutual group, and the acquisition of its management company Egamo by Ofi Invest Asset Management at the beginning of January 2024. 3. Increased solvency since the Group was founded The Group's Solvency 2 (S2) ratio is 178%, down 10 points compared with 2022. This decrease is mainly the result of the redemption of 400 million euros of external subordinated debt in March 2023, as well as to changes in market conditions and the commutation of a reinsurance treaty. These last two points increased the capital requirement in 2023.
2023, THE FINAL YEAR OF A SUCCESSFUL FIRST STRATEGIC PLAN A growing group with a solid business model that has proved its relevance in a challenging economic climate By combining strong brands – AÉSIO Mutuelle, Macif, Abeille Assurances, Ofi Invest – that are references in their markets, with complementary expertise, and driven by a common set of values, Aéma Groupe now covers all protection needs of more than 11.7 million policyholders (+130,000 members and customers in 2023). Despite the difficult and volatile economic climate since it was formed, Aéma Groupe has held its position in the top 5 of the French insurance and asset management (via Ofi Invest) markets in France in 2023. On the strength of its unique mutualist model, Aéma Groupe has built a solid and steadily growing group thanks to the stability of its governance by two mutuals, Macif and AÉSIO Mutuelle, and thanks to the complementary nature of its business lines, distribution networks and risks. Attractiveness and consolidation Following the acquisition of Abeille Assurances, the creation of Ofi Invest and the affiliation of MMJ to UMG Aésio, the group continued its consolidation in 2023 through a strategy of acquisitions made in all its business lines. This has demonstrated Aéma Groupe’s attractiveness and its leading position on the French insurance market. In addition, Aéma Groupe has developed synergies between its brands, by pooling technical expertise, service providers and purchasing contracts. The affirmation of an activist mutualist model In an uncertain socio-economic context, and in a society in need of long-term, meaningful collective projects, Aéma Groupe is positioning itself as a player in the social and solidarity economy. Aéma Groupe is proud of its mutualist identity. In 2023, Aéma Groupe's activities generated an unprecedented 9.23 billion euros for redistribution to its policyholders, an increase of 330 million euros compared to 2022, including 4.38 billion euros in property and casualty insurance benefits, 2.58 billion euros in health and personal insurance benefits, and 2.27 billion euros from its pensions and savings products. Deeply committed to society and the environment, Aéma Groupe has spent the last three years developing and implementing actions dedicated to supporting the environmental transition. With strong mutualist values and convictions, the group acts not only as a shareholder, but also as a responsible investor. With more than 200 billion euros in assets under management, Aéma Groupe's substantial investment capacity is a strong lever for accelerating the transition in the face of growing climate and societal challenges. Since 2021, Aéma Groupe has invested more than 6 billion euros in green, social and sustainable bonds, including more than 1.3 billion euros in 2023. Convinced that unity is strength, Aéma Groupe has also joined a number of industry initiatives – the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and the Forum for Responsible Investment (FIR) – and actively participates in debates and shared commitments across the ecosystem. Through its membership of the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA), Aéma Groupe has adopted the ambitious strategy of decarbonizing its portfolio. In July 2023, the group signed the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation's (FFBF) Deep Sea Mining appeal to help, protect and restore biodiversity and ecosystems through their investments and financing activities.
“ON YOUR MARKS!” A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN TO 2026 Aéma Groupe's first strategic plan, Cap 2023 "Building to conquer", established a new leading mutualist player in the French insurance market. Encouraged by this successful growth, the group has announced a new strategic plan: "Aéma 2026: À vos marques!” ["Aéma 2026 : on your marks!” - the French word “Marque” means “Brand”]. In a challenging macroeconomic environment, this new plan aims to consolidate the group's common project, its economic and financial foundations, and those of its entities. The plan, based on the governance of its founding mutuals and its new structure around its 4 brands, articulates the respective strategic plans of Macif, AÉSIO mutuelle, Abeille Assurances and Ofi Invest:
With the deployment of this new strategic plan over the period 2024-2026, Aéma Groupe intends to fulfil its original ambition of guaranteeing quality protection that is accessible to as many people as possible in the face of economic, social and environmental difficulties.
