Core Viewpoint - The insurance industry is experiencing significant changes in the structure and estimation of incurred but not reported (IBNR) reserves, which are crucial for understanding the financial health of insurance companies. The IBNR reserves for 2024 are estimated at approximately 248 billion, accounting for 37.5% of the total reserves, remaining stable compared to the previous year [11][13][16]. Group 1: IBNR Reserves - IBNR reserves are primarily composed of three parts: reported but not settled claims, unreported claims, and claims handling expense reserves. The estimation of IBNR involves predicting future claims based on historical data and actuarial models, which introduces a degree of uncertainty [10][11]. - The proportion of IBNR reserves to total reserves has increased from 15.4% in 2010 to 39.4% in 2022, but has shown signs of a recent decline [13]. - For major insurance companies in 2024, the IBNR proportion of total reserves is as follows: People's Insurance Company of China (35.3%), Ping An Property & Casualty (39.9%), and China Pacific Insurance (35.8%), with the latter showing a decrease of 4.3 percentage points compared to the previous year [16][18]. Group 2: Cash Flow and Cost Ratios - A new accounting standard for insurance contracts has introduced a metric for changes in cash flow related to incurred claims liabilities. This metric reflects the difference between actual and estimated claim payments, impacting the book value of insurance liabilities [5][24]. - The ratio of changes in incurred claims liabilities to insurance service revenue for 2024 is projected to be -4.5%, indicating favorable changes that have led to a reduction in the comprehensive cost ratio for eight major insurance companies by approximately 4.5 percentage points [7][29]. - The total incurred claims liabilities for eight companies adopting the new accounting standard represent about 75% of the market share in the property and casualty insurance sector [24]. Group 3: Industry Trends and Comparisons - The average IBNR proportion across the industry for 2024 is 37.5%, with a simple average of 46.3% and a median of 43.2%. Ten companies have an IBNR proportion exceeding 70% [14]. - The ratio of total reserves to earned premiums for 2024 is 44.1%, reflecting a year-on-year increase of approximately 1 percentage point, with top three companies at 43.8% and smaller companies at 44.6% [13]. - The report highlights the differences in IBNR proportions among companies, which can be attributed to business structure and claims efficiency improvements [14][16].
