esure Group plc

Hans, let me ask you about the bulking up in the UK over the past year.

Uh, the purchase of Esure from, from Bain Capital.

This, uh, environment feels as though there's a lot of competition still when it comes to the UK insurance market.

I mean, how would you describe the competitive landscape out there?

Uh, we have done a little bit more there in adjusting, uh, the premium wage.

Uh, the household, uh, market, uh, I would say is still in a very soft, uh, market, and there w- I'm, I'm curious to see what's gonna happen in, in the second, uh, half of the year also, um, after this, uh, very dry and, uh, and sunny weather.

The great advantage for us with the acquisition of Esure and also the business from Saga is that we are now very diversified, um, co-op distribution channels and also by customer groups, and that gives us a lot more flexibility, agility, I would say, to position ourselves, um, in this, uh, very competitive market as we have different channels to, uh, to reach the different, uh, customer groups.

So I'm, I'm confident on the quality of our business, our underlying, uh, performance, uh, but the market is, is still in a soft mode today.
