How will Sampo create shareholder value over the next ten years?

Sampo’s subsidiary If has agreed to acquire the Nordic roadside assistance company Viking Redningstjeneste TOPCO A/S. The acquisition price for 100 per cent ownership of the company is EUR 32 million, which will be paid in cash. The enterprise value of the transaction is EUR 114 million.

Sampo Groups profit before taxes for January-September 2019 was EUR 1,073 million compared to EUR 1,643 million a year ago. In the third quarter, profit before taxes decreased to EUR 92 million from 490 million a year ago and earnings per share was only EUR 0.01 (0.70)

The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has today approved Sampo’s application for the termination of the financial and insurance conglomerate (FICO). Henceforth, Sampo Group’s solvency will be calculated only by Solvency II rules. In other words, Sampo becomes an insurance group again.

Nordic Capital and Sampo have agreed to acquire in total 17.47 per cent of Norwegian Finans Holding, which is the parent company of Bank Norwegian. The transaction price is NOK 68 per share, in total NOK 2,218 million.

The first half of the year 2019 was very mixed for Sampo Group. Our insurance businesses, once again, reported strong results but results for Nordea remained at weak level.
