Tune Protect weighed by one-off Tenang impairment; excluding impairment, 4Q23 and FY23 posted PAT of RM3.5 mil and RM22.7 mil

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 February 2024 – Tune Protect Group Berhad (“Tune Protect” or “Group”; TUNEPRO, 5230) posted its financial results for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2023 (“4Q23”), underpinned by overall retention ratio and Net Written Premium (“NWP”) which grew 14% and 8.3% respectively. For the full financial year 2023 (“FY23”), retention ratio increased 17% but NWP fell 2.2% year-on-year (“YoY”).

Rohit Nambiar (“Rohit”), Tune Protect Group’s Chief Executive Officer cautioned that the impairment on Perlindungan Tenang Voucher (“PTV”) impacted the Group’s Profit After Tax (“PAT”), which decreased by more than 100% YoY in 4Q23, though the losses in FY22 turned to profit, improving significantly by more than 100% YoY in FY23.

To recap, the PTV Programme was a national initiative offering social protection for the lower income group to purchase insurance plans from participating licensed insurers. In the PTV Programme 2022, eligible recipients were given a RM75 voucher each to redeem annual insurance policies from participating insurers. The programme was later discontinued in FY23.

In February this year, the regulator notified that some of the policies underwritten by the Group’s subsidiary Tune Insurance Malaysia Berhad under PTV will not be eligible for redemption. As such, the financial results in FY23 have been impacted. The Group is planning to appeal the decision.

Profitable 4Q23, excluding one-off impairment
“Nevertheless, the impact of the PTV impairment was a one-off event in 2023. Excluding it, 4Q23 and FY23 PAT were up more than 100%, recording RM3.5 million and RM22.7 million respectively. Furthermore, the Group’s combined ratio would have been lower at 95.5% in 4Q23 and 95.3% in FY23,” explained Rohit.



Rohit added that the Group’s 4Q23 NWP was driven by the Motor segment which increased 56% YoY, led by Partnership channel growth. Travel NWP also contributed with 14% growth YoY, led by AirAsia, VietJet Air and AirArabia. The Group’s sustained focus in growing the three key pillars of Lifestyle, Health and SME while moving away from large Commercial businesses has seen its retention ratio continuing to improve by 14% in the quarter.

“In 2024, the Group is optimistic that travel products under the Lifestyle pillar will continue to achieve higher growth based on positive outlook in the travel segment locally and internationally. In the Motor segment, growth momentum in the recent quarters should continue in upcoming quarters,” said Rohit.

Focused on stable investment returns
The Group’s investment performance in FY23 was positive with YoY growth of total investment income of more than 100% to RM32.2 million in FY23. The change in the Group’s investment strategy has materialised in the form of stable investment returns.

Expansion via partnerships, innovative products
The Group continues to expand via partnerships and strategic collaborations, such as the offering of TravelEasy on the BigPay app to provide a worry-free travelling experience. TravelEasy offers domestic and worldwide coverage with 2 plans i.e. Basic Plan and COVID Lite Plan for claims on travel inconveniences, medical expenses and COVID-19. With just 5 easy steps, travellers can obtain coverage in less than 3 minutes.

Another exciting product in the Group’s portfolio is FLEXIOne, a customisable digital insurance solution that covers medical and critical illnesses. This pioneering insurance solution is powered by a user friendly Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) virtual assistant called “Tracy” to personalise and recommend the best-suited plan based on 3 simple questions. Premiums start from as low as RM5 per month.

The Group has fast gained recognition in the industry for its wide range of innovative products. It won the Claims Initiative of the Year from Insurance Asia News Awards for Excellence 2023 for its Parametric Claims solution. It was also a winner of the prestigious CXP Best Customer Experience Awards 2023.

As an employer of choice among insurers for millennial talents, the Group was named one of Malaysia’s top employers by Talentbank, one of only two insurance companies in the list. The Group’s long term commitment to excellence is reflected in its inclusion in the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index since December 2021. The company proudly remains the only insurer on the index.

3-year strategy helping to build long-term foundations
“The Group is definitely heading in the right direction with its 3-year strategy FY20-FY23 starting to bear fruit, such as retention upwards towards 70% in all Lines of Business (“LOB”). Overall retention ratio rose +17% YoY from 62% in FY22 to 79% in FY23,” said Rohit.

The company is constantly striving to operate more efficiently as an organisation, especially on a ratio basis. This is evidenced by its healthy combined ratio. Excluding the one-off Tenang impairment, combined ratio would have been below 100% in FY23.

Expanding the Group’s presence in Southeast Asia remains a cornerstone strategy. The Group has made tremendous strides in Vietnam with Gross Written Premium (“GWP”) growing by 74 times within the last 3 years. It retains its leadership position in the critical benchmarks of customer and partner Net Promoter Scores (“NPS”). Customer NPS grew from -16% in April 2021 to +45% in December 2023, while Partner NPS grew from +48% in April 2021 to +60% in December 2023.

Koot Chiew Ling (“Chiew Ling”), Principal Officer of Tune Protect Life said, “We are guided by our aspiration of bridging the protection gap in the country by providing affordable insurance solutions to consumers. With FLEXIOne, we are busting the myth that insurance is expensive and rigid.

  3. choose a plan based on the Plan Recommender that is AI-assisted, thus removing the hassle of deciding what is best, especially for first-time buyers and beginners;
  4. enjoy a straight through and efficient purchase journey with its straight through process where only 3 simple health questions are asked for a hassle-free acceptance.

Tune Protect NWP rose 22% YoY, profitable bottom line driven by improved underwriting performance and investments

Highlights:
  • 3Q23 NWP rose 22% YoY, turned around from a loss in 3Q22
  • Insurance service result grew more than 100% YoY in 3Q23
  • Combined ratio in 3Q23 and year-to-date lower than 100%
KUALA LUMPUR, 23 November 2023 – Tune Protect Group Berhad (“Tune Protect” or “Group”; TUNEPRO, 5230) continued its turnaround with impressive financial results for the third quarter of the financial year 2023 (“3Q23”) with a double digit growth of 22% year-on-year (“YoY”) in Net Written Premiums (“NWP”) and a profitable bottom line driven by improvements in underwriting performance and investments.

Travel, Motor and Health lead topline growth While the Travel, Motor and Health segments led the Group’s topline growth, the overall retention ratio in 3Q23 and 9M23 exceeded the Group’s target of 70% by 4% and 6% respectively.

Rohit Nambiar (“Rohit”), Tune Protect Group’s Chief Executive Officer said, “The Group’s NWP across all the main pillars increased 22% YoY in 3Q23 and this growth has more than compensated for the absence of the Perlindungan Tenang (“Tenang”) scheme which was discontinued in FY23. Growth in the Health pillar was led by the Foreign Worker segment, while growth in the Lifestyle pillar was led by the Motor segment (up 41.1% YoY) and Travel segment (up 25.5% YoY). On the other hand, the SME segment fell marginally by 7.6% due to lower growth in the Engineering segment, which was offset by growth in the SME Fire segment (up >100% YoY).”

7.5% YoY. Though the 9M23 NWP The Group’s Digital Partnerships and eCommerce registered commendable 3Q23 NWP growth of recorded a decline by 17.6% if Tenang was included, the NWP growth excluding Tenang was encouraging with a healthy 38.8% growth, signalling the trailing off of the dependency on Tenang. The number of digital partners increased from 65 in 3Q22 to 79 in 3Q23.



Rohit explained that despite the 15.3% drop of insurance revenue YoY to RM106.9 million in 3Q23, the Group’s quarterly profitability was underpinned by the growth of the insurance service result, coupled with improved investment performance.

“Insurance service result grew more than 100% YoY to RM6.7 million in 3Q23. Furthermore, lower allocation of reinsurance premium turned insurance service result from negative to positive translating to a lower combined ratio of 95.2% during the period. In 3Q23 and the first 9 months of 2023 (“9M23”) combined ratio were lower than 100%. These healthy indicators, coupled with rising investment performance with total investment income of RM6.8 million have led to the Group’s profitability in the quarter,” Rohit said.

Pioneering MSME solutions with CGC collaboration The Group continues to place great emphasis on its digital partnerships, both domestically and regionally. The Group remains an industry pioneer by becoming the first insurer to collaborate with Credit Guarantee Corporation (“CGC”) to introduce digital insurance solutions for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (“MSMEs”). Through the partnership, CGC offers solutions such as Tune Protect’s SME Business Shield, SME EZY and PA Easy via affiliate links. The Group has also been participating in CGC’s outreach programmes for MSMEs, offering educational initiatives such as interactive workshops, training programmes and informative sessions.

The Group is also making huge strides in expanding its presence in Southeast Asia. A prime example is Vietnam which has emerged as a significant contributor to the Group’s topline performance after the Malaysia and Thailand markets. The Group’s partnership with Baoviet Insurance and Vietjet Air contributed 15% of the total Gross Written Premium (“GWP”) from Vietnam in 3Q23. More than 80,000 Travel insurance policies were issued in the quarter through Vietjet Air’s flight booking platform, which is also set to be activated in Indonesia by 4Q23 and India, Japan and South Korea by 1Q24, with more countries planned beyond.

Another of the Group’s key focus area is the next phase of the new Group’s core system HYDRO and Tune Integrated Producer System (“TiPS”) implementation. The next phase of HYDRO involves immediate policy processing, centralised customer record, automated workflow and speed-to-market. The implementation of TiPS includes one stop point of sales for quotation, payments endorsement and renewals, one stop service counter for sales dashboard and statement, as well as online learning for distributors and intermediaries.

Positive outlook on investment yields The Group has affirmed its investment strategy for its portfolio totalling RM714.5 million as of 30 September 2023. Moving forward, Rohit is confident that the Group will deliver favourable investment returns.

“Close to 80% of our portfolio is invested in money market funds and term deposits. Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) has again maintained the current Overnight Policy Rate (“OPR”) at 3.0% for the 3rd successive meeting, reiterating its stance that the monetary policy remains supportive of the economy and is consistent with the current assessment of inflation and growth prospects. Our conservative asset allocation continues to shield us from recent market volatility. We will remain vigilant on developments in both global and local capital markets,” Rohit concluded.
