Definitions:

IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards.

Shareholder's Equity – A firm’s total assets minus its total liabilities.

Gross Written Premiums – Premiums registered on the books at the time a policy is issued and paid for, on a gross basis (before deductions of costs, such as reinsurance).

Net Income – Net income (loss) is calculated by taking revenues and adjusting for the cost of doing business, interest, taxes and other expenses.

Combined Ratio – The sum of two ratios: loss ratio is calculated by dividing incurred losses plus loss adjustment expense (LAE) by earned premiums (the calendar year loss ratio); and expense ratio is calculated by dividing all other expenses by earned premiums.

Statutory Surplus – An insurance company's total assets minus its total liabilities, both computed under accounting principles prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory authorities.
