In the first half, RSA posted an underwriting profit worth £31 million – a turnaround from last year’s £143 million underwriting loss. Meanwhile net written premiums for the insurer’s continuing operations amounted to £1.5 billion, which is lower than 2021’s £1.7 billion.
Discontinued operations span Scandinavia and Canada, which RSA disposed of in June 2021. The group also recently divested its 50% shareholding in Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance (Middle East) BSC to National Life & General Insurance Company. The sale was completed on July 07.
RSA, which did not declare a dividend in the first half, transacts insurance and related financial services predominantly in the UK and Europe. Its immediate parent firm is Regent Bidco Limited, while RSA’s ultimate parent company and controlling party is Canadian group Intact Financial Corporation.
