¹) On 31 Dec. 2009 Nordea was consolidated as an associate to Sampo and Sampo became a financial and insurance conglomerate, in accordance with the Act on Supervision on Financial and Insurance Conglomerates (2004/699). The group solvency is calculated according to Chapter 3. The adjusted solvency is determined on the basis of the Group financial statements as permitted by the Financial Supervisory Authority.
²) Key figures for P&C Insurance are based on activity based costs and cannot, therefore, be calculated directly from the consolidated income statement.
³) The Board of Director's proposal to the Annual General Meeting for the accounting period 2016.
In calculating the key figures the tax corresponding to the result for the accounting period has been taken into account. The valuation differences, adjusted with the deferred tax liability, on the investment property have been taken into account in return on assets, return on equity, equity/assets ratio and net asset value per share. Additionally, the items in the other comprehensive income have been taken into account in return on assets and return on equity. In the net asset value per share, the Group valuation difference on associates Nordea and Topdanmark have also been taken into account.
