This performance reflects disciplined execution of strategic priorities and sustained momentum in the Travel segment, reinforcing the Group\u2019s resilience amid a dynamic market environment.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Improved Net Insurance Service Result and Combined Ratio<\/strong><br>\r\n\r\nThe Group\u2019s Net Insurance Service Result grew 55.7% YoY in 3Q25, driven by lower net incurred claims from a more favourable Motor and Fire claims experience and a stronger contribution from the Travel segment. These factors also supported an improved Combined Ratio, which declined 4.9% YoY. Despite softer investment income, higher total other income and expenses, and challenges from its Thai associate, PAT increased 3.8% YoY, underscoring the Group\u2019s ability to deliver growth in a mixed operating environment.\r\n<br><br>\r\nFor 9M25, Net Insurance Service Result more than doubled YoY, supported by a 10.9% reduction in Combined Ratio. PAT also recorded over 100% YoY growth, attributed to lower total other income and expenses, in line with the Group\u2019s cost optimisation initiatives.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Revenue Growth &#8211; Travel Segment and Income Diversification<\/strong><br>\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Group\u2019s profitability were supported by the improvement in Net Claims Incurred (\u201cNCI\u201d) ratio attributed to claims management efficiencies and better cost efficiency which improved 7.2% YoY in 9M25,\u201d said <strong>How Kim Lian (\u201cHow\u201d), Group Chief Executive Officer of Tune Protect<\/strong>. \u201cOur business was further strengthened by the substantial growth in ancillary income and Technology fee contribution, which quadrupled since 1Q25, generating approximately RM13.18 million. This reinforces our strategy to diversify revenue streams beyond insurance.\u201d\r\n<br><br>\r\n\u201cAlthough insurance revenue for 3Q25 declined 12.7% YoY in line with the Group\u2019s earlier decision to shift towards higher-quality and more profitable business segments, we are still confident that we will regain revenue growth in the long-term in tandem with the uptrend in the Travel segment and diversification of our revenue streams,\u201d How added.\r\n<br> <br> \r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Group-performance-3Q25-9M25-Financial-Overview.png\" alt=\"\">\r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\n<br> \r\n<strong>Strengthening Investment Income Through Tactical Asset Allocation<\/strong><br>\r\n\r\nThe Group\u2019s total investment income in 3Q25 declined slightly by 3.8% YoY, reflecting market profit-taking during the quarter. Despite this temporary dip, investment performance is expected to remain stable in 4Q25, supported by proactive portfolio management.\r\n<br><br>\r\nAs of 30 September 2025, Tune Protect\u2019s investment portfolio stood at RM731.7 million, comprising 91% in unit trust funds and 9% in deposits. Within unit trust funds, 95% were allocated to fixed income funds and 5% to money market funds.\r\n<br><br>\r\nTo enhance portfolio yield, the Group implemented a Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA) strategy, shifting unit trust investments from low-risk asset funds into corporate bond funds. This approach positions the portfolio to benefit from widening credit spreads and anticipated policy rate easing, reinforcing Tune Protect\u2019s commitment to optimising returns while maintaining a prudent risk profile.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Strategic Pillars Driving Sustainable Growth<\/strong><br>\r\n\r\nTune Protect\u2019s growth strategy is anchored on three key pillars and have delivered tangible progress in 9M25:\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><strong>In-Country General Insurance Business<\/strong> \u2013 Focused on profitability and operational efficiency, recording a 4.6 percentage point reduction in Motor loss ratio through enhanced claims management,  and partnership with Shopee (via PolicyStreet) delivered >100% topline growth<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Strategic Regional Business<\/strong> \u2013 Expanded travel insurance footprint by onboarding 380 travel agents in Malaysia, extending the Universal Travel Insurance \u2013 Inbound Plan to 20 Asian markets, and introducing Fly-Thru misconnection benefits for AirAsia travelers.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>New Income Streams Beyond Insurance<\/strong> \u2013 Launched innovative offerings such as travel eSIM campaigns and premium concierge services, including airport transfers and lounge access, creating incremental earnings and enhancing customer engagement.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n<br> \r\n<strong>Positive Outlook Supported by Core Growth Drivers<\/strong><br>\r\n\r\nThe Group anticipates a positive trajectory for revenue and profit growth, supported by airline expansion plans and rising travel demand across Asia. Air travel in the region is projected to grow at a five-year CAGR of 8\u201311%, and Tune Protect is well-positioned to capture this trend through strategic alliances with AirAsia and AirArabia. These partnerships, backed by a combined order book of over 700 aircraft, present significant opportunities for insurance uptake and ancillary bundles.\r\n<br><br>\r\nBeyond insurance, ancillary income is expected to maintain strong momentum, with deeper integration into the Travel ecosystem and offerings such as eSIM, baggage solutions, and premium travel services. \r\n<br><br>\r\n\u201cTune Protect is well-positioned to meet rising demand for travel and insurance solutions, and we expect a strong 4Q25 aligned with peak travel season trends. Looking ahead, as we prepare for Visit Malaysia Year 2026, our focus is on elevating the arrival experience and making protection and convenience seamlessly accessible to travellers,\u201d How concluded.\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Profitability Sustained: PAT grew more than double YoY for 9M25; fifth consecutive quarter of profits and positive Net Insurance Service Result Travel Segment Momentum: Travel GWP surged 36.4% in 3Q25 and 31.8% in 9M25 YoY, with portfolio mix rising to 46% (from 37% a year ago), reinforcing a shift toward scalable, higher-margin products New income [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10179"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10179"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10179\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10182,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10179\/revisions\/10182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
