INTEGRATED REPORT 2022
Given the dynamics of change and the difficult-to-predict conditions in which we had to operate, we can consider 2022 a time well spent, in which we achieved the goals we had set. Once again, we have proven the high resilience and effectiveness of our business model, the efficiency of those who manage and oversee our operations, and the commitment of our employees. This is evidenced by the financial results achieved, as well as the growth of operations in all of the PZU Group’s key markets, the certainty and quality of protection provided to clients, and the benefits generated for shareholders. The extraordinary challenges we faced last year confirmed that the goals we set in the Strategy for 2021-2024 and the decisions we made during its implementation were correct. Consistent implementation of strategic goals has been the best response to these challenges.
The PZU Group’s operations, in this uncertain environment, have been characterized by great stability and resilience. Effective risk management and a secure investment portfolio structure have allowed the company to maintain a strong capital position under the Solvency II regime. During the past year, S&P Global Ratings’ ratings for PZU and PZU Life remained unchanged at a high level of A- with a stable outlook. The Group’s good condition was also evident in stock market valuations. In 2022, shares of PZU SA, which heads the Group, rose by 21.1 percentage points above the WIG20 price index, which recorded a 20.8% year-on-year loss. After adjusting the PZU share price for dividends, the total return on PZU shares last year was 5.7%.
