We like the ICICIGI franchise given its granular retail portfolio, strong
underwriting and robust return ratios. The 4th largest non-life insurer is on
track to leverage its presence in 90% of the districts across India through
on-boarding of experienced agents, scaling up of its digital assets and
making further improvements to its “best-in-class” claims management
process. Thus, ICICI Lombard is positioned to be a major beneficiary of the
ongoing shift in market share towards service-oriented and efficient
players.

ICICI Lombard 10 September 2018

Largest private non-life insurer


 GDPI CAGR of 23% over FY15-18 (ex-crop 14%); forecast 15% CAGR over FY18-21E
ICICI Lombard is the 4th largest insurer in the Indian non-life insurance industry, controlling
8.2% of the premium market as of FY18 (10% as of YTD-Jul’18). Among private insurers, it
is the leader, controlling 19% of the market (ex-standalone health) as of FY18 (21% as of
YTD-Jul’18). Promoted by one of India’s largest private banks – ICICI Bank – the insurer
commenced operations in 2002 and is currently active in 638 of 716 districts across India.
Over FY15-18, the insurer clocked-in premiums growth of 23% outperforming the industry’s
21% growth rate. Ex-crop insurance, the premiums growth is in line with the industry at a
14% CAGR over FY15-18. We expect ICICIGI to maintain steady growth, delivering a 15%
CAGR in gross premiums over FY18-21E on a) supportive structural factors such as i)
significant under-penetration and low density, ii) rising urbanisation, iii) the government’s
focus on motor TP/health/crop insurance and iv) public listing of peers that would bring
pricing discipline; b) a retail-oriented product mix; and c) a well-diversified distribution
network.

 Market leader across industry cycles leveraging parent’s brand equity, diversified product
suite and multi-channel reach into c.90% districts across India
The company has maintained its market leadership across industry cycles (#1 among private
insurers since 2004) by outperforming industry growth. In 1QFY19, the insurer recorded a
13.7% YoY growth (ex-crop, growth was 14.1% YoY) in premiums vs. 12.2% for the
industry. Regarding the product mix, after de-tariffication in 2007, the share of retail lines
(such as motor and health) rose to 64% in FY07 (vs. 48% in FY06) and has since remained
between 60-70%. Retention ratios have improved in recent years in light of better risk
underwriting capabilities and stricter fraud control. Overall retention rates stood at 62-67%
over FY15-18 with product lines such as motor OD (65-85%), motor TP (74-96%), health
(70-80%) and personal accident (72-75%) recording robust retention.

ICICI Lombard 10 September 2018

Retail lines to drive premiums growth


ICICI Lombard’s product portfolio comprises of motor (own damage and third party liability) –
42% of GDPI in FY18, health and personal accident (19%), crop (19%), fire (7%),
engineering (2%) and marine (3%) lines. Over the years, the company has reduced its
exposure to corporate lines (fire, marine, engineering, aviation and liability) from 52% in
FY06 to under 20% in FY18.

Given the insurer’s focus on profitability, the insurer has adopted a cautious view on a) crop
insurance, due to the volatile nature of the tender-based business and heightened
competition; seeks to cap share in product mix to less than 20% and b) mass health due to
adverse historical loss experience. Regarding future growth engines, the insurer plans to
focus on, i) participating in the resurgence in property/corporate lines, ii) health insurance, iii)
SME segment within both property and health insurance and iv) retail motor, select
commercial vehicle segments within motor insurance.

Key product offerings:

 Retail insurance: It includes motor, health and personal accident insurance.

 Motor insurance (42% of GDPI as of FY18): The segment’s GDPI posted a 15% CAGR
over FY15-18, while its proportion in the overall portfolio declined from 51.2% in FY15 to
42.5% in FY18. The insurer consciously focuses on less risky, more granular segments
with 50% of the motor premiums coming from private cars, 17% from select CV
segments and 33% from two-wheelers. Versus this, the industry has roughly 40% and
45% of motor premiums coming from commercial vehicles and private cars respectively,
and c.15% from two wheelers. Further, motor insurance has two parts: own damage
(25% of total GDPI as of FY18) and third-party segment (18%). The introduction of
mandatory long-term insurance for private cars (policy period raised to 3-years) and 2Ws
(policy period raised to 5-years) should increase motor penetration and spur premiums
growth going forward.

Private car segment: The segment witnessed healthy premiums CAGR of 17% over
FY15-18 benefitting from tie-ups with various MVMs including Maruti, Hyundai and
Honda. It also offers add-ons such as comprehensive cover, zero depreciation
coverage, roadside assistance and engine protection coverage.
Two-wheeler segment: The segment saw premium CAGR of 20% over FY15-18
aided by the introduction of longer-tenure (two and three years) policies during
FY16. Further, it benefits from tie-ups with various MVMs including Hero
MotoCorp, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India. Long-term two wheeler policy
penetration increased from 8.6% in FY17 to 9.1% in FY18.
IRDA mandates long-term insurance for private cars and 2Ws: Following a Supreme
Court Committee on Road Safety recommendations, the IRDA made it compulsory
to offer long-term motor TP insurance for all new private cars (policy period raised
to 3 years vs 1 year) and new 2Ws (policy period raised to 5 years vs 1 year)
effective Sep’18. The move will address poor renewals (number of registered but
uninsured vehicles currently stands at c.60% of total vehicles) which become
especially acute for private vehicles after three years on the road. Although positive
from a penetration/ compliance perspective, the price adequacy still needs to be
tested given the proposed tariffs are different from adjusted existing motor TP
tariffs in the range of +3% to – 51% for cars and 2Ws.

Commercial vehicle segment: It consists of insurance products for goods carrying


vehicles, passenger carrying vehicles and construction equipment. The segment has
witnessed muted CAGR of 4% over FY15-18 as the company narrowed its focus to
the preferred/low-risk commercial vehicles such as three-wheelers, pick-up trucks,
construction equipment and tractors. Recently, the insurer turned positive on the
segment led by; a) consistent motor TP price increases primarily in medium and
heavy commercial vehicles, b) structural changes such as better vehicle design,
improved roads, mandatory speed governance for commercial vehicles and c) data
analytics to identify accident hotspots. All these developments are helping to reduce
claims frequency/severity thus making underwriting the business viable from an
ultimate loss ratio perspective.

Industry motor premiums have significant headroom to grow given, a) low vehicle
penetration (19 cars & 127 2Ws per 1,000 vs. 70 cars / 1,000 for other “less-
developed” nations); b) stricter focus on renewals given only 60% of cars aged over
3 years and only 10% of 2Ws aged over 3 years have insurance in India vs. 90%
globally. This issue will be addressed as the industry prepares for mandatory long-
term Motor TP insurance for 2Ws (5 years) and cars (3 years) from Sep’18; c) the
Motor Vehicle Amendment Act, currently pending in Rajya Sabha, which aims to
introduce i) higher penalties for traffic violations, ii) stricter licensing norms, and iii)
reducing the number of registered but uninsured vehicles; d) robust growth outlook
for motor vehicle sales in India which will have a direct positive impact on motor TP
due to its compulsory nature.

 Health & PA (19% of GDPI as of FY18): The segment’s GDPI posted a CAGR of 14% over
FY15-18 while its proportion in the overall portfolio declined from 23% in FY15 to 18.6%
in FY18 as the company reduced exposure to large corporate health and mass health
schemes on account of low profitability.
Retail Health: It is the dominant segment under Health GDPI consisting of benefit-
based (c.60% of retail health) and indemnity-based products (c.40%). Benefit-based
policies are sold through its banking partners/NBFCs and include lump-sum and
annuity-based accident related plans, critical illness plans and daily cash plans.
Indemnity-based policies are sold through the agency and banca-partner
distribution channels. Retail indemnity is a primary focus area for the company
especially in light of the Health Insurance 2016 regulation, which bars life insurance
companies from selling this product. The indemnity portfolio achieved 31% YoY
premiums growth in 1QFY19 vs. 3% growth in total retail health premiums.

Retail health GDPI achieved 18% CAGR over FY15-18 with its share of total health
portfolio increasing from 57% in FY15 to 63% in FY18. The company underwrites
its health insurance products based on various factors, including pre-existing
medical conditions and history of illness to mitigate the pricing risk and continually
monitors hospital networks, medical inflation and leakage by efficient network
management to reduce fraud instances.

Corporate health: The segment consists of policies purchased by corporations as


employee benefits. Corporate health for the insurer consists of 3 sections, 1) SME,
small corporates, 2) Mid-corporates and 3) Large corporates such as BFSI, IT
companies. While the all the sub-segments have witnessed price increases (both
new and renewal policies), given ICICI Lombard’s stringent underwriting standards,
the insurer still feels large corporate risks are under-priced and therefore continues

JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 10


ICICI Lombard 10 September 2018

to be cautious on the segment. It has de-focused from ticket sizes of more than INR
20mn and is targeting granular growth vs. lumpy accounts.

ICICI Lombard continues to remain bullish on the SME segment for both property
and group health underwriting in light of profitable claims experience and stickiness
of the business, given that it is sourced by agents, small brokers and is more
relationship/ service-based. The corporate health segment’s GDPI posted a CAGR of
16% over FY15-18 while its proportion in the total health mix has remained stable
at 33-35%. Combined ratios for corporate health have improved to 88% in FY18
vs. 104% last year driven by the rising share of profitable SME business. The insurer
continues to be selective and only underwrites appropriately priced risks.
Additionally, it offers value-added services such as wellness programmes, outpatient
coverage and provision of emergency services in collaboration with a global partner.

Mass Health: The segment consists of government health programmes such as the
Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY). In FY18, the scheme was extended to the
state of Odisha. Mass health has witnessed a decline in premiums of 36% over
FY15-18 with its proportion of health GDPI declining from 9% in FY15 to 2% in
FY18 owing to non-renewal of a mass health scheme (which accounted for 84% of
its Mass health GDPI in FY17) in Kerala due to inadequate pricing. Moreover, the
company is hesitant to grow this segment given adverse claims experience.

Personal Accident: Offerings include corporate (including mass personal accident,


c.18% of personal accident GDPI) and retail segments (c.82%). Retail PA insurance
policies are commonly bundled with other products. The company is focussed on
increasing share of retail PA segment by increasing the number of channel partners
and investing in the digital channel.

Going forward, health insurance premiums growth will be driven by, a) low health
penetration, b) high out-of-pocket medical expenditure/medical inflation and c)
favourable regulation/government stance. The Health Insurance 2016 regulation
introduced various product-related changes. These include i) prohibiting life
companies from selling indemnity products; ii) allowing pilot products by non-life/
standalone health insurers with minimum 1-year policy term in new risk areas; iii)
introducing ‘entry-age’ pricing to lure younger individuals to purchase health plans;
vi) allowing 1-year group health insurance products (except credit-linked products
where the policy tenure will match the loan period (not exceeding 5 years)).
Moreover, the announcement of the “Universal Health Coverage” goal in the
Budget 2018-19 along with a National Health Protection Scheme covering over 100
million families (or close to 500 million beneficiaries) offering a sum assured of INR
JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 11
ICICI Lombard 10 September 2018

0.5mn per family per year is a big positive for health insurance penetration and can
spur premiums growth. Given the substantial financial implications, states are
currently weighing between a trust model and an insurance model. Based on the
available bidding data, the winners have on average quoted 12-13% below the L2
bidder and almost 70-87% below the highest bidder. Going by historical loss
experience of these mass health schemes, the non-life insurance industry estimated
a premium of INR 2,500-3,000 per family per year. However, as a) the government
negotiates package rates with hospitals and b) private hospital participation
increases; the scheme should become viable at reasonably lower premiums.
Currently, ICICI Lombard has not participated in the bidding process.

 Corporate insurance: It includes fire, marine, engineering, health and liability insurance.
The segment is witnessing faster growth across most property products. Key
differentiators for ICICI Lombard vs. peers are, a) risk selection, b) working with corporate
clients offering them risk mitigation/management strategies; as of Mar’18 the insurer has
worked with over 800 large, SME corporates and c) continued investment into digitisation
/ automation.

Fire Insurance: The segment’s GDPI posted a CAGR of 19% over FY15-18 while its
proportion has declined from 8.2% in FY15 to 7.4% in FY18. It consists of, i) large
risks are risks with a sum insured of >INR 25 bn at one location and are generally
co-insured by multiple non-life insurers. These are typically better-managed risks,
are sold with favourable terms, and include deductibles in line with international
market standards, ii) mid-sized risks generally are underwritten by a single insurer
and are the most competitive and iii) small risks are distributed by bank partners and
agents, typically bundled with other products, and have attractive pricing. The
company uses granular risks to de-risk the concentration of exposures and diversify
its fire insurance portfolio. Regarding growth, the company plans to focus on
infrastructure projects and emerging sectors such as solar to drive growth.

clients. Currently, the company is focussing on innovative solutions, including loss

18, while its proportion in the overall portfolio declined from 2.6% in FY15 to 2.0%
in FY18. It offers long-term (including coverage for infrastructure and industrial
erection projects) and annual policies (consisting of contractor’s plant and
machinery insurance).

 Government Business Group (19% of GDPI as of FY18): This group caters to rural India
and includes various government programmes such as PMFBY and RWBCIS (weather
insurance) and RSBY (health insurance). The company uses multiple technology initiatives
such as the use of drones and remote sensing technology for crop yield estimation which
enables it to achieve operating efficiency, scalability of the business, manage risks and
facilitate faster claims settlement.

Crop insurance: Crop/weather insurance is usually sold as an add-on to agricultural


loans. However, non-loanee sign-up is also promising with the segment making up
10% of total enrolments in FY18. The segment’s premiums posted a CAGR of
100% over FY16-18 with its proportion in the overall portfolio rising from 7% in
FY16 to 19% in FY18. This robust CAGR was primarily led by the implementation of
the PMFBY programme in 2016. In FY19 so far, the company has covered farmers in
4 states and 30 districts for the Kharif season. This number is down from the 7
states and 56 districts covered during Kharif in FY18 owing to a) rising competition
leading to aggressive pricing and b) reinsurance rates hardening. In line with the
cautious view on the product line, the insurer would continue to base its
underwriting on multiple criteria, including i) diversification across agro-climactic

JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 14

zones, ii) avoidance of coastal areas, and iii) past yield data and premium payment
history. It aims to cap exposure to crop insurance to 15-20% of its total GDPI.

— Other Insurance: Other insurance refers to insurance products including travel


insurance, aviation, credit insurance, home insurance, liability insurance, fidelity
insurance, event insurance and art insurance. This segment posted a CAGR of 6%
over FY15-18 while its proportion in the overall portfolio declined from 11.2% in

Multi-channel distribution network


 Distribution network complements a diverse product mix

ICICI Lombard has an extensive multi-channel sales network covering 638 of 716 districts
across India comprising direct, individual agents, bank partners and brokers. Other corporate
agents including over 27 NBFCs, three small finance banks, five other financial institutions,
and certain affiliates of manufacturers together contribute c.8% of GDPI. While the
Corporate Insurance Group relies on direct and broker channels, the Government Business
Group utilises direct channel for sourcing business. The Retail Group primarily utilises bank
partners, brokers, individual agents and the digital channel for its sales. The insurer is
currently investing in increasing its penetration into T3 and T4 cities primarily through the
agency and virtual office network. A large part of the growth strategy around SMEs depends
on adding experienced agents to its network (added 3,000+ agents YoY as of Jun’18) which
use relationship-based selling and service-quality to attract/retain SME clients.

 Retail Insurance Group: caters to individual and SME customers offering motor, health,
home, travel and personal accident insurance. The company follows a location specific
strategy i.e. a) For top 20 cities, it follows a centralised vertical approach given the similar
demand patterns in these locations; b) For locations outside top 20 cities, it follows a
decentralised branch-level approach with focus on certain products and channels. The
company is currently present in over 200 cities (outside the top 20 cities) supported by
more than 5,000 individual agents. It also uses a network of 140+ virtual offices to cater
to small and remote locations.
Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (MVM): ICICI Lombard currently has agreements with over
85% of the MVMs (by vehicle sales in FY18) providing access to over 210 dealer locations
which play a key role in distributing insurance products. Such MVMs include Maruti
Suzuki India, Hyundai India, Hero MotoCorp and Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India. A
strong relationship with such dealers coupled with constant product innovation (support
solutions like roadside assistance) and various digitisation initiatives (such as mobile-based
cashless claims) has helped ICICI Lombard to achieve market leadership in the motor
insurance segment (18% market share in private motor OD; 13% market share in private
motor TP as of YTD Jul’18).

Recently implemented MISP guidelines has resulted in a) greater transparency in dealer-


insurer set-up, b) reduction in distribution costs (commissions capped at 22.5% for 2Ws
and 19.5% for four-wheelers and SUVs from the earlier 25-30%) a part of which will be
passed back to customers through discounts. Moreover, in terms of dealer market share,
the company expects minimal impact given the huge volumes generated by its insurance
policies and claims-servicing capabilities.

utilise the branch network, direct physical sales, online sales, mobile apps and lead
management at PoS. Banca-channel (ICICI Bank) generated 7% of the total GDPI in FY18
which is one of the lowest among bank-promoted peers HDFC Ergo (20% premiums
from banca channel) and SBI General (46% premiums from banca channel).

Individual Agents: Has the 3rd largest individual agency forces at 23,811 among private
sector non-life companies in India. They exclusively sell to individual and SME customers.
The company continues to invest in its agency channel while leveraging technology to set

Disciplined underwriting paying-off


ICICI Lombard’s combined ratios have improved significantly from 105% in FY15 to 100% in
FY18. The improvement has been driven by two factors: a) its loss ratio declined to 77% in
FY18 vs. 81% in FY15 driven by superior risk selection within existing retail lines such as
motor/health and reducing exposure to loss-making wholesale lines such as commercial
motor and corporate health and b) its expense (ex-commissions) ratio improved to 27% in
FY18 vs. 31% in FY15 as the company continued to invest in automation and digitisation
initiatives to control costs. In 1QFY19, combined ratios further improved to 98.8% (102% in
1QFY18).

 Improving loss ratio trend ICICIGI’s loss ratio increased marginally to 81.6% in FY16 (from
81.4% in FY15) primarily due to the impact of adverse weather conditions on crop
insurance claims and the impact of the Chennai floods (0.84% impact on loss ratio). It
improved to 76.9% in FY18 due to better loss experience within the retail lines and
reduced exposure to loss-making large group health and mass health business. FY18 also
saw reserve strengthening in a) crop insurance as it faced adverse loss experience in the
Kharif book and b) dismantled motor TP business which together came to INR 710mn.

 Motor insurance: Motor OD has historically been a profitable product line with CORs at
80-97% over FY15-18. This is in line with the insurer’s product mix, which has a higher
share of profitable private car and two-wheeler insurance. While Motor TP combined
ratios continued to be at 130-135%. In terms of loss ratios, Motor TP posted a healthy
improvement during 1QFY19 to 91% loss ratio vs. 98% last year primarily given the
selective and controlled participation in CV segment. Regarding annual motor TP tariff
hike, average rate hike for the industry came down in FY19 to c.6.1% as against an
average hike of 15.3% for FY18 making risk-selection very important. Moreover, the
company does not benefit from this given that the hikes are primarily in the large CV
segment where ICICI Lombard is not present. Given the company’s TP mix, the portfolio
only saw a price increase of 1.8% for FY19. Going forward, the insurer may
opportunistically look to enter the commercial vehicles space given improved pricing and

supportive structural factors like better vehicle design, improved roads, mandatory speed

ICICI Lombard 10 September 2018

Positive catalysts for an improvement in Motor TP underwriting performance are a)


passage of the Motor Vehicle Amendment Act, currently pending in Rajya Sabha, which
aims to introduce a 6-month time limit for claim filing to aid faster, more accurate claims
processing, thus reducing uncertainty and capping claims inflation and b) improving
expense ratios following MISP guidelines (effective from Nov’17) that bring erstwhile un-
regulated motor dealers selling policies within IRDA supervision. This will aid in i) reducing
dealer pay-outs as historically non-life insurers were paying dealers infrastructure and/or
outsourcing expenses with resulting commission rates at 25-30%. After MISP, they will be
capped at 22.5% for 2Ws and 19.5% for four-wheelers and SUVs, ii) better claims
management especially at the dealer-end; c) robust outlook for new motor sales given
low personal vehicle penetration (19 cars / 1,000; 127 two-wheelers/1,000); d) other
provisions of the Motor Vehicle Amendment Act such as, i) higher penalties for traffic
violations, ii) stricter licensing norms; and e) Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety
recommendation resulted in a mandatory 3-year motor TP policy for cars and 5-year
policy for motorbikes at the time of sale and registration to tackle poor renewals (number
of registered but uninsured vehicles currently stands at c.60% of total vehicles). Although
positive from a penetration/ compliance viewpoint, the price adequacy still needs to be
tested given that the proposed tariffs vary from adjusted existing prices in the range of
+3% to –51% for cars and 2Ws.

 Health insurance: Retail heath continues to be the largest sub-sector (>60% of total
health GDPI) and is also most profitable in terms of underwriting performance. Within
retail health, both indemnity portfolio (60% loss ratio as of Dec’18) and benefit portfolio
(45.7% loss ratio) have been profitable. Problematic corporate/group health premiums
have witnessed 20% YoY growth in FY18 driven by price corrections initiated in the
industry for both retail and corporate/group lines. Loss ratios in the group health segment
improved to 88% in FY18 vs. 104% last year driven by, a) change in expense allocation
method and b) higher share of SME business. Mass health segment premiums should
continue to shrink as the insurer is very cautious on the whole government segment. As
such, loss ratios for this product would continue to improve.

 Corporate/group health insurance witnessed meaningful price correction


The corporate health segment, which represents 35% of health GDPI has historically
impacted profitability due to the lack of pricing discipline among insurers given strong
bargaining power of corporate customers. Insurers have historically used the more
profitable retail health to offset losses in the corporate health portfolio. However, since
the Sep’17 public listing of industry leaders, ICICI Lombard (#1 in private sector) followed ICICI Lombard Market share:
by New India Assurance (NIA) (#1 in public sector), the non-life industry has benefitted 7% - Retail Health;
from the price correction initiated by them in the group/corporate health portfolio. From 6% - Corporate/Group Health;
exhibit 64/65, it is evident that premiums growth is stronger in recent quarters vs. last 1% - Government/Mass Health
year.
New India Market share:
Listed public peer, New India Assurance, witnessed group health (24% market share as of
14% - Retail Health;
YTD-Jul’18) loss ratios falling to 110% in FY18 vs. 125% last year largely due to price
24% - Corporate/Group Health;
corrections. The management expects this ratio to further decline to c.100% by FY19.
34% - Government/Mass Health
Moreover, even the retail health (14% market share as of YTD-Jul’18) loss ratio has
declined to c.78% vs. 85% last year largely owing to price increases effected for both
new policies (effective Apr’17) and for renewal policies (effective Aug’17). The full benefit
of retail price increases is expected over 2018-19. Price corrections have ranged from 20-
40% depending on the claims experience of the individual corporate/group accounts.
Using its dominant position in government/mass health (34% market share as of YTD-
Jul’18) business, New India has been able to push some price correction even in those
accounts. Overall, the management is targeting a total health portfolio loss ratio of
c.95% by FY19 vs. 103% in FY18. Moreover, NIA along with other PSU insurers invested
in a captive TPA which has in-house doctors to curb medical costs inflation and improve
health claims management. All this augurs well for private players in general and ICICIGI
in particular.

 Crop insurance dynamics changing with rising competition and hardening reinsurance
commissions rates

For ICICI Lombard, growth in crop insurance premiums (10% YoY growth in FY18) has
been slower than the overall company (15% YoY growth) and the industry (19% YoY
growth) in keeping with the cautious stance adopted by the management. The business
line has become less attractive as increasing competition erodes pricing and the largest
reinsurer, GIC Re tones down commission rates and introduced EOL clauses. In FY18,
adverse loss experience in Kharif underwriting in Tamil Nadu resulted in 8% escalation in
loss ratio to 78.5% in 4QFY18 (ex-crop, loss ratio was 70.5%). For FY18, crop loss ratio
increased to 135% vs. 84.2% last year. Going forward, the company plans to cap
contribution of crop insurance at 15-20% and as such premiums growth is set to be
muted for this segment.

 Conservative reserving policy

ICICI Lombard became the first Indian insurer to disclose reserving triangles. As we can
see, the insurer has faced no reserve shortages in 7 / 10 accident years indicative of its
prudent approach to reserving. A substantial share of the company’s reserves relate to
motor third-party liabilities which typically have a longer claims reporting / settlement
cycle vs. other products. Since FY17 another long-tail business, crop insurance was added
to the IBNR reserving (was 42% of total IBNR reserves on gross basis; net would be lower
due to high reinsurance). Apart from inflation, other specific factors such as medical cost
trends, wage rate development and changes in legislation and social attitudes impact

In FY18, total reserves recorded a 35% YoY growth (vs. 44% YoY growth in FY17) led by
43% YoY growth in IBNR reserves on account of i) reserve strengthening in crop
insurance owing to adverse loss experience in Tamil Nadu (Kharif), ii) dismantled motor TP

Among major non-life insurers, only ICICI Lombard (motor TP market share: 7%) and
Reliance General (motor TP market share: 4.4%) have disclosed accident year reserving
triangles. As is evident, during the motor TP “pooling” phase, both ICICI Lombard and
Reliance General faced significant reserves shortfall due to uncertainty of the policies
being underwritten by pool members. Since the changes in the Motor TP rules for
commercial vehicles, insurers have witnessed better reserve adequacy.

ICICI Lombard 10 September 2018

 One of the lowest net expense ratios among private insurers

ICICI Lombard has the lowest expense ratio in the industry at 23.3% for FY18 vs. private
peers’ average of 30%. For 1QFY19, the net expense ratio was 22% vs. 24.3% last year.
This improvement is due to, a) favourable regulations: MISP guidelines capping
distribution commissions, b) higher productivity: inward migration of experienced agents
who are premium accretive from Day1 and c) continued investment into
automation/digitisation. The support of crop reinsurance commissions reduced YoY with
net crop commissions/net crop premium at 25% in FY18 vs. 30% in FY17. However, this
gap is being filled by better reinsurance rates in the group health business (net health
commissions/ net heath premiums increased to 22% in FY18 vs. 20% last year). As the
insurer focusses on better quality business within SME and select corporate/commercial
vehicle business, the expense ratio may trend upward but the loss ratios will be superior.
Moreover, as competition increases market share is shifting to insurers such as ICICI
Lombard who are service-oriented and more efficient.

The company has leveraged technology to improve its operational efficiency and has
implemented various processes including: i) migration to cloud technology platform, ii)
introducing mobile app for motor service centres to quicken claims inspection and
processing, iii) virtual risk inspections for fire and engineering policies issued to SMEs
without any intermediary, iv) telematics-based insurance for motor insurance customers
to help them obtain information on their vehicle’s performance, monitor fuel efficiency
and benefit from road travel safety features, v) mobile app for customers to facilitate self-
inspection and policy renewal, vi) investment into drone technology to inspect wind
turbine and solar photovoltaic modules in order to identify defects and improve efficiency,
and vii) automating various internal processes through the use of robotics and invested in
technologies like AI to reduce human intervention in the policy issuing process. This has
resulted in faster turnaround times with c.90% of new business applications initiated
through digital platform. Consequently, number of policies issued has increased by c.20%
over FY15-18 while employee productivity (GDPI per employee per annum) has improved
from INR 8.86mn in FY15 to INR 15.3mn in FY18 at a CAGR of 20%.

 Combined ratio among the lowest in the industry

ICICI Lombard benefits from its superior risk underwriting and operating efficiency which
helps keep both loss and expense ratios in check. Its combined ratio has increased from
104.9% in FY15 to 107.1% in FY16 primarily due to the impact of adverse weather
conditions on crop insurance claims and the impact of the Chennai floods in FY16. It
however improved from 107.1% in FY16 to 104.1% in FY17 due to the improvement in
the loss experience in the motor and crop insurance portfolios. In FY18, the combined
ratio improved to 100.2% driven by focus on profitable retail segments and exiting loss
making large corporate health/mass health business. This improvement carried into
1QFY19 with combined ratio of 98.8% vs. 102.4% last year.

The recent Kerala floods are expected to have minimal impact on the combined ratio as
ICICIGI generates only 0.70% of FY18 gross premiums from the state. This is 1.57% of
JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 25
ICICI Lombard 10 September 2018

the total non-life premiums for Kerala in FY18. In 1QFY19, the insurer underwrote 0.51%
of total gross premiums in Kerala. Most of the premiums are from motor, property and
health insurance (exited mass health scheme in Kerala in FY16) lines which have
historically been adequately reinsured and reserved.

 Comparison to global non-life insurance players

Combined ratios for Indian insurers seem slightly higher than developed countries' peers
due to a combination of both regulatory (allows claims reserve discounting; “cash before
cover”) and market (better discipline; higher awareness) factors.

Superior investment performance


In keeping with the nature of the business, majority of the investments are into fixed income
followed by equities, mutual funds and real estate. IRDAI as per the Investment Regulations,
2016 stipulates investment limits in central/state government securities, other approved
securities and housing/infra investment thereby controlling around 45-50% of the investible
funds.

Within the fixed income portfolio (83% of the total investments are into sovereign and AAA
rated securities), the company has experienced zero instance of default and only 6 ratings
downgrades in the insurer’s over 10 years of operations. Moreover, equity investments
accounted for 15% of the investments – highest share vs under 10% for peers.

 Strong investment performance; Higher yields bodes well for fixed income book

Historically, healthy investment performance has boosted bottom-line profitability. Using


S&P NIFTY as a benchmark, since FY04, its listed equity portfolio has generated a total
annualised return (including unrealised gains) of 29.8% vs. 17.0% for the benchmark. On
the fixed income side, yields (ex- equity, real estate) were 7.7% in FY18 vs 8.2% over the
last 5 years.

Higher rate environment bodes well for ICICI Lombard: The insurer should benefit in the
current rising interest rate environment as can be seen in Exhibit 80 where the book yield
(ex-capital gains) moves in tandem with market yields.

Both profit engines firing-up


Historically, investment performance has been a key driver of PAT as combined ratios
remained meaningfully above 100% over FY12-17. RoEs averaged 10% during this period.
Now, with underwriting performance turning positive, the insurer is on track to deliver 21%
ROE by FY21E led by improvement in underwriting profitability, strong investment
performance and operating efficiency. We forecast earnings CAGR of 24% over FY18-21E
with ROE of 21% in FY21E.

 Negative drag from underwriting to come down driven by lower loss ratios
ICICI Lombard’s underwriting performance has improved in line with IRDA’s efforts such
as de-tariffication, dismantling pooling arrangements and shifting to annual, inflation
linked pricing for Motor TP. Loss ratios have improved from 96% in FY11 to 76.9% for
FY18 – driven by increasing retailisation of the product mix and superior risk-selection
using the company’s loss experience across product lines accumulated over last 15 years.

Strong solvency to support growth


 Healthy solvency margin of 205% as of Mar’18; 4-year average dividend pay-out of 26%

Currently, solvency ratio stands at 205% as of Mar’18 vs. IRDA requirement of 150%.
The company strengthened its solvency in FY17 to 210% from 182% in FY16 becoming
the first Indian non-life insurance company to raise non-convertible debentures
amounting to INR 4.85bn. This amount is available to be included as tier I capital.
Regarding dividend policy, a dip in payout ratio in FY18 signals the investment phase for
the insurer as it builds its distribution network and incurs acquisition costs to on-board
SME clients to prepare for profitable growth.

Key risks
 Any disruption in key motor vehicle relationships, bank distribution partnerships could
adversely impact the motor portfolio and overall business of the company: One big
broker (sourced 8.1% premiums in FY17) and one big corporate agent (sourced 5.9%
premiums in FY17) make a significant contribution to gross premiums. Similarly, the
insurer has a key distribution partnership with ICICI Bank (7% of gross premiums). Any
disruption or adverse change in relation to such key distribution partners could
adversely impact the company’s business.

 Risks to crop insurance business: i) reduction in government support: In India, crop


insurance is experiencing growth due to significant subsidies recently offered by the
central and state governments, as such any reduction in support towards this program
could adversely impact growth of crop insurance. ii) selection and pricing of risks: since
crop insurance is a relatively new product line for the private general insurance industry,
there is a limited data-set to substantiate assumptions based on which the company
selects and prices risk consequently if ICICI Lombard misprices risk or is unable to select
better risks then this could result in significantly higher claims. iii) Reinsurance risk: a
major portion of crop reinsurance is available from GIC Re and this portfolio is unavailable
for reinsurance at a suitable price from other reinsurers consequently any change in the
terms of reinsurance provided by GIC Re could impact ICICI Lombard. Further, there is
increased amount of credit risk in this portfolio due to concentration of reinsurance with
one entity. iv) non-payment / delay in payments: a major part of the crop insurance
premiums are borne by the central and state governments consequently any delay / non-
payment due to dispute or political headwinds can adversely impact the company.

 If loss reserves which are based on estimates as to future claims liabilities prove
inadequate, it could lead to further reserve additions and have an adverse impact on the
company’s financial position.

 Catastrophe risks: Any heightened incidence of catastrophic events, including natural


disasters, could materially increase the company’s claim liabilities and have a material
adverse effect on its business.

 Reinsurance risk: Any negative development in company’s relationship with its major
reinsurance partner, GIC Re can have an adverse effect on the company’s business.

 Any adverse change in interest rates or adverse movements in the Indian equity markets
could potentially impair the company’s investment portfolio value and have a material
adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Credit risks related to the investment portfolio may expose the company to significant
losses: As of Mar’18, over 80% of the total debt portfolio was invested in sovereign and
domestic AAA rated securities. As such, any negative development in the issuer’s credit
rating can adversely impact the company’s results.

 Any change in the regulatory framework of motor insurance in India could have a
material adverse effect on the company’s business: From Apr’16, both motor pools have
been dismantled by IRDAI which put an end to loss-sharing within the segment. Any
attempt by IRDAI to again set up a third-party insurance pool may force the company to
assume some of the shared risk, which could have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition and operating results.

 Changes in the regulatory environment: Any change in policies issued by the IRDAI,
including foreign investment, interest rates, liquidity, capital adequacy, investments,
marketing and selling practices may adversely impact the company.

Appendix I: Non-life insurance in India


The Indian non-life insurance sector is the 11th largest non-life insurance market in the world
and the 4th largest in Asia in terms of gross premiums (SwissRe 2017). Long-term structural
factors such as strong economic growth, rising financial savings, favourable demographic
profile, rising income, rapid urbanisation and increasing awareness should lead to healthy
growth for the industry going forward.

 Non-life insurance premiums have posted a 17% CAGR over the past 17 years

Since 2002, after the insurance sector opened to private players, the non-life insurance
industry has recorded a 17% CAGR in premiums with the industry GDPI reaching INR
1.5trn in FY18. The growth story of the Indian general insurance can be divided into three
phases: a) before de-tariffing, b) after de-tariffing and establishment of the Indian Motor
Third Party Insurance Pool (IMTPIP), and c) dismantling of the motor pool.

 Phase 1: Before de-tariffing (2001-07): High growth phase

Over 2001-07, private players witnessed robust growth momentum and gained
significant market share (from 9% in FY03 to 33% as of FY07 on a GWP basis). During
this period, rates were regulated by tariffs for three major lines of business – Motor, Fire
and Engineering – which accounted for nearly two-thirds of the market premiums.
Further, pricing of different classifications of risk was done in an ad-hoc manner due to
lack of complete and reliable data. This resulted in cross subsidisation among different
classes of risk and also within a class with the good risks subsidising the loss making risks.
Insurance companies were generating profits on fire and engineering portfolios and cross
subsidising their marine and corporate health portfolio through these policies. During this
period, private non-life insurance companies’ premiums recorded robust growth, coming
in at an 80% CAGR, outperforming the industry CAGR of 17%. At the same time,
market share for private non-life insurers improved to 32% (on a GWP basis).

 Phase 2: Consolidation in growth after de-tariffing and establishment of the Indian Motor
Third Party Insurance Pool (IMTPIP) (FY08-11)

While the tariff regime helped non-life insurers improve their growth and gain market
share, the industry was facing challenges related to pricing flexibility, product innovation
and lack of private players’ participation in commercial third party motor policies due to
adverse claims histories. IRDA, in 2007, decided to de-tariff most of the policies, except
the motor third-party pool. There was a significant correction in the prices of Fire,
Engineering and Motor products as insurers dropped their prices in order to gain market
share. The prices dropped by as much as 50% as the IRDA intervened and capped
maximum discounts at 51.25% in Sep’07. After the regulatory changes to tariffs, the
industry experienced structural changes as companies realigned their business models in
response to the regulatory changes.

The second major development was the introduction of the IMTPIP (India Motor Third
Party Insurance Pool) for commercial vehicles in Apr’07. This was done to induce private
insurers to underwrite commercial TP policies as losses will be shared amongst the pool
based on market share, and not on the basis of actually business underwritten. The
introduction of IMTPIP led to increase in combined ratios as the presence of the IMTPIP
encouraged insurers to settle claims without implementing adequate controls.

During this period, gross premiums posted a CAGR of 15.7% over FY07-11 while private
insurers’ market increased to 39% (on GWP basis) in FY11.

 Phase 3: Improvement in growth led by relaxation in regulatory norms (FY12 onwards)

This was the most encouraging phase for the non-life insurance industry with some
relaxation in regulations norms and introduction of some new schemes like crop
insurance scheme that positively impacted the growth in this industry:

JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited Page 40


ICICI Lombard 10 September 2018

i) IRDA decided to index any future increase in Motor TP insurance premium to reduce
mounting pool losses for the industry. While third party motor insurance tariffs continued
to be regulated, the IRDAI began reviewing and revising the tariffs on an annual basis
from 2011 as against the earlier practice of revising tariffs once every five years.

ii) IRDA replaced IMTPIP with new Indian Motor Third Party Declined Risk Insurance Pool
(IMTPDRIP) which provided the option to insurers to transfer policies that they had
underwritten to the Declined Risk Pool (DRP), which were not as per the insurers’
underwriting guidelines. The dismantling of the IMTPIP resulted led to the improvement in
combined ratios for the industry. Effective Apr’16, IRDA dismantled all motor pooling
arrangements. Instead a formula will be used to calculate the minimum motor TP business
non-life insurance companies need to underwrite in any given year. This will be
proportional to their industry and motor market share.

iii) This period also saw the introduction of Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2015,
increasing the maximum permissible shareholding of foreign investors in Indian non-life
insurance companies from 26% of paid-up equity capital to 49%.

iii) In Jan’15, the IRDAI mandated that the lower of a company’s own risk experience or
industry-wide losses (also known as burning costs) should be factored into pricing,
starting with the property and group health insurance segments. This was done to ensure
better pricing of risk by insurers.

iv) To increase the insurance coverage of cropped area, the Indian government has
launched two major crop-related government schemes – the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima
Yojana (PMFBY) and the Restructured Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (RWBCIS).
The PMFBY, which was launched in Apr’16 replaced the older crop insurance government
schemes, subsidises yield-based crop insurance for farmers. It provides coverage of all
food crops, oilseeds, commercial and horticultural crops. It is based on tender process
covering different geographies through which insurance companies submit their premium
quotes based on their individual actuarial assumptions. While total premiums are based
on the actuarial premium estimated, farmers have to pay uniform premiums that are
determined on the basis of the type of their crop. The difference between the actuarial
premium and the premium paid by farmers is being borne equally by Central and state
governments. Claims are paid based on the yield for a group of farms, as measured by a
government authorised surveyor.

The RWBCIS subsidises weather based crop insurance for farmers. The insurance provides
an index-based cover which provides protection against variation in specified weather
indices such as rainfall, humidity, temperature or a combination of these factors.
Threshold levels are defined for the weather indices in the policy and a claim is payable
when the actual weather index breaches the predefined threshold level. The crop
insurance schemes contributed to significant growth in industry premiums in FY17
(32.4%), led by 288% increase in crop insurance premiums in FY17.
These favourable regulatory changes aided the growth of the industry. During this period
(2011-17), gross premiums increased at a CAGR of 18.1% over FY11-17 while private
insurer’s market share increased to 47% in FY17 driven by ease in regulations in existing
product lines and opening up of new channels of growth such as crop insurance.

During FY18, the industry witnessed steady premiums growth of 17.5% YoY driven by
motor TP (+24% YoY), retail health (+27% YoY) and crop insurance (+19% YoY).

Key growth drivers


 Penetration ratio is amongst the lowest in the world

Despite being the second largest populous country in the world, India is the 4th largest
non-life insurance market in Asia by premium following Japan, Korea and China. The
non-life insurance penetration, after remaining stable for close to 10 years at 0.7-0.8%
until 2016, recently jumped to 0.93% in 2017 – still one of the lowest in the world. India
trails behind its Asian peers such as Korea (5.0%), Taiwan (3.4%), Japan (2.3%), China
(1.9%), and global peers like US (4.3%). India's insurance density is also very low at USD
18 compared with the US (USD 2,542), Japan (USD 901) and China (USD 159).

 Strong long-term structural growth drivers remain intact

This situation reflects the fact that India’s insurance market is still in its infancy, implying
robust growth potential. Against the backdrop of: i) strong long-term structural growth
term drivers such as high household savings, rising income levels, strong economic
growth, favourable demographic profiles and increasing urbanisation as well as ii) low
penetration for most consumer products such as cars; 2W - only 60% of cars older than 3
years are insured in India as against the global benchmark of 90% and that only around
25% of two wheelers are insured as against a global benchmark of over 90%; iii)
changes in lifestyles/aspirations; iv) stabilisation/improvement in penetration ratio which
has remained stable at 0.7-0.8% in the last decade and v) major regulatory risks a thing
of the past for the industry, India’s long-term structural non-life insurance growth story of
remains intact.

Favourable macroeconomic factors including propitious regulations have resulted in the


non-life insurance premiums recording a CAGR of 17% over the last 17 years. A rejig of
the government crop/weather insurance under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana allowed
the industry to report a strong 32.4% growth for FY17 and 17.5% in FY18.

 Favourable demographic profile and rising urbanisation

India is leading with the highest young population across the globe - with a median age
of 28 years. 90% of the Indians are expected to be below the age of 60 by year 2020;
and 63% of the people are expected to be between the age of 15-59. The number of
individuals in the age of 25-49, which is the target population for the industry, is
increasing in India and would boost industry growth. A high share of working population,
coupled with rapid urbanisation and rising affluence, is expected to propel the Indian
non-life insurance sector growth. India has a very low urbanisation rate as compared with
Asian peers such as China, Japan and Thailand. The share of urban population rose
steadily from 28.8% in 2004 to 31.2% in 2016. The increase in urbanisation would lead
to improved financial literacy among the consumers, eventually supporting the growth of
non-life insurance industry.

 Favourable regulatory stance to support growth:

1. Health Insurance regulations in 2016 brought several positive changes to the product
line for non-life insurers including i) prohibiting life insurance companies from offering
indemnity based products, which would bring greater clarity between life-health vs. non-
life-health products. ii) Pilot products may be offered by non-life insurers and health
insurers for a policy term of at least one year, for a maximum of five years. This will allow
non-life insurers to cover risks, which have not been covered by insurers until now. iii)
Defined benefit products are allowed to offer a bonus in terms of an increase in the sum
assured based on the claims experience. iv) the concept of ‘entry-age’ pricing was
introduced, which means insurers will now be able to provide attractive pricing to lure
younger individuals into health insurance plans. v) Insurers can offer group health
insurance products for a one-year term, except in the case of credit-linked products, for
which the term can be extended up to the loan period (not exceeding five years).

Non-life and health insurers have advantages over life insurers. i) Non-life insurers are
allowed to re-price premium rates every year. Life insurers are required to fix their
premiums for three years. ii) Non-life and standalone health insurers sell indemnity-type
products that are cheaper than the defined benefit products offered by life insurers. Life
insurers have been barred from selling indemnity-type health products. iii) Non-life
insurers had a head start (going back to the 1980s) over life insurers, which started selling
health insurance in 2005. iv) life insurance companies are not permitted to engage in
coinsurance reinsurance known as original terms reinsurance), unlike non-life and
standalone health insurers.

2. Introduction of formula based writing for third-party auto insurance: IRDAI in Apr’16,
removed any kind of pooling arrangement for commercial motor TP with the onus of
writing motor TP business shifting to individual companies based on a formula that takes
into account their market shares both within the industry and within motor lines. Lack of
visibility of risk within motor TP and especially within commercial motor TP resulting from
a pooled arrangement was a major downside risk for the underwriting performance of
the sector. Going forward, company level underwriting along with healthy growth in
motor TP tariffs (CAGR of 1% to 22% across various lines) augurs well for the
underwriting health of the industry.

3. The passage of the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, a legislation which is currently
pending in Rajya Sabha is expected to improve profitability of the motor segment in the
long term for the following reasons i) 6-month timeline to file claims, ii) In case of non-
receipt of premium insurers can take measures to protect the corresponding claim liability
of the company, and iii) higher penalties for violations.

Alongside baptising new channels of distribution such as micro agents, web aggregators,
insurance marketing firms, POS, to increase insurance penetration in the country, IRDA in
2016 has increased the maximum remuneration payable to intermediary from 15% to 16.5%
for certain segments such as Fire-retail, Marine cargo to improve the renewal rate. The
commission rate for comprehensive auto insurance policies rate was increased from 10% to
15% and also introduced commissions in third-party motor insurance policies at 2.5% of the
annual premium. Additionally, the regulator introduced a new “rewards-based” payment to
align incentives for the channel partners and boost the distribution network. Moreover, in
2017 the IRDA passed the MISP regulations which cap dealer commissions at 22.5% for 2Ws
and 19.5% for four-wheelers and SUVs from the earlier 25-30%.

 Market structure – private players gaining market share

India’s non-life insurance sector comprises 30 public and private sector companies. The
four Public sector insurers – New India, National, Oriental and United have focused on top
line and market share rather than underwriting profitability. They have cut premiums,
especially in the group health insurance category where buyers have strong bargaining
power. In the last 3 years, public sector insurers have lost their market share (45% market
share in FY18 vs. 52% in FY15) most of which accrued to the private sector insurers
especially the top-5 private insurers and standalone health players. In addition, the sector
consists of mono-line insurance companies such as AIC, Star Health, Apollo Munich. Top-
5 private insurers – ICICI Lombard, BAGIC, HDFC Ergo, Reliance General and SBI General,
have been gaining market share (22% in FY15 vs. 25% in FY18) due to their niche focus.

 Product mix shifting to retail and crop insurance: Since 2007, product the non-life
insurance industry’s product mix has been dominated by retail products including Motor
and Health and their proportion has broadly remained stable at 60-65%. The share of
corporate products such as Marine and Fire declined from 16% in FY10 to 9% in FY18
due to the increase in competitive scenario. Recently, rejig of the government crop
insurance scheme under PMFBY has allowed the industry to report a healthy 32.4%
growth for FY17 while the proportion of the crop insurance segment has increased to
20% (vs. 12% in FY07). In FY18 however, share of crop insurance stood at 17%.

 Diversified channel mix dominated by agency and direct channel

Non-life insurers employ a multi-channel approach to sell their products, including


individual agents, bank partners, other corporate agents, brokers, direct sales and online
channels. The distribution mix has broadly remained stable over the years with agency
network and direct channel driving retail lines while brokers are more attuned towards
wholesale segment. The online channel has started gaining traction in recent years while
offering various benefits including higher cross-selling, better renewals, lower commission
rates and improved access to customer data and behaviour patterns. The standardisation
of policies – especially in Motor and Health – should aid the online distribution channel’s
growth.

Increase in competitive pricing and CAT events has resulted in an elevated combined
ratio: While growth has remained healthy for the industry, intense competition, coupled
with several large catastrophic events such as Cyclone Phailin (2013), Uttarakhand floods
(2013), J&K floods (2014), Cyclone Hudhud (2014) and Chennai floods (2015) in recent
years has adversely impacted the profitability of non-life insurers. The impact has been
more severe for public sector insurers given their high exposure to property/government
insurance. Recent steps taken towards the public listing of these insures are expected to
benefit the industry, bringing about improved underwriting discipline, risk management,
disclosure and corporate governance. In FY17, the pressure on profitability was primarily
driven by reserve strengthening by PSUs and heightened competition in the motor
segment.

The Kerala floods in Aug’18 are expected to result in claims amounting to INR 5bn
(according to media reports) primarily for property, motor and health insurance policies.
