VIENNA INSURANCE<br />
GROUP<br />
premiums for the Group as a whole during the period<br />
of 2004–2007 is here even surpassed by pre-tax profit,<br />
which grew an average of 41.0 per cent per year over<br />
the same period. The Vienna Insurance Group is profiting<br />
from its early involvement in the CEE region which<br />
– above and beyond the corresponding growth in premiums<br />
– is already making a solid contribution to<br />
profit. In particular, premiums written in the CEE region<br />
increased on average by 36.0 per cent per year<br />
during the time period 2004–2007, while the average<br />
annual growth in profit before taxes was 41.3 per cent<br />
over the same period.<br />
The Vienna Insurance Group believes that it can<br />
achieve both the planned consolidation of its leading<br />
position in Austria and further development of its market<br />
position in Central and Eastern Europe in spite of<br />
the current deterioration of the economic environment.<br />
The business model, broadly diversified by country,<br />
distribution channel and product, is continuously influenced<br />
and shaped by the experience and solid market<br />
knowledge of the Vienna Insurance Group. The<br />
Vienna Insurance Group has the knowledge needed to<br />
selectively take advantage of opportunities available in<br />
the insurance business. This will enable further growth<br />
to be achieved both in premiums and, combined with<br />
the conservative investment strategy followed by the<br />
Vienna Insurance Group, the earnings of the Group.<br />
Employees stand for success<br />
Particular thanks are naturally due to all employees of<br />
the Vienna Insurance Group for their tireless service to<br />
our customers and business partners at all locations.<br />
The motivation and commitment provided by all of our<br />

Insurance Group a successful enterprise and will continue<br />
to strengthen us in the future.<br />
