Health and bancassurance to drive future growth: P&C premium growth remained solid but +44 (0)20 3555 7393

slightly uneven, with Motor performing strongly while parts of Non-Motor were softer. The alessia.magni@barclays.com

slowdown in Non-Motor was driven partly by Marine insurance (-28% GWP YoY) as a result of Barclays, UK

geopolitical disruption and to some extent the Health business. In Health, premium growth Claudia Gaspari

slowed slightly in the quarter, but management attributed this to the non-renewal of some +44 (0)20 3134 6039

unprofitable corporate contracts, while structural growth drivers remain strong and should claudia.gaspari@barclays.com

show positive developments in the following quarter. Bancassurance continues to be a key Barclays, UK

growth engine, with strong momentum in Health. Motor GWP was higher than expected as a

result of higher fleet in Motor and a strong contribution from the Stellantis partnership,

boosting both volumes and profitability in MOD, in our view.
