Motilal Oswal Report

Star Health and Allied Insurance Company Ltd.’s net underwriting loss for Q4 FY22 came in at Rs 2.2 billion versus our estimate of Rs 2.9 billion of underwriting profit.

The disappointment was mainly led by 10% lower-than-expected gross written premium at Rs 36.9 billion (up 13% YoY/up 36% QoQ).

Net earned premium at Rs 26.2 billion was 21% below our expectation due to higher unexpired risk reserve.

Incurred claims at Rs 17.8 billion (34% better than expectation) saw a sharp decline of 33% sequentially. Resultantly, incurred claims ratio came in at 68.1% versus 209.4% in Q4 FY21 and 104.6% in Q3 FY22.

Overall, Star Health's combined ratio stood at 98.4% (12.2% better than expectation) versus 231% in Q4 FY21 and 136% in Q3 FY22.
