MILLIRE 2021 ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2021 Millî Reasürans Türk Anonim Şirketi (Currency: Turkish Lira (TL)) (Convenience Translation of Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes Originally Issued in Turkish, See Note 2.1.1) 2.1.6 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors Accounting of fire and earthquake premiums obtained from foreign reinsurance treaties on the basis of branches Fire and earthquake premiums obtained from foreign reinsurance treaties could not accounted on the basis of branches in the previous years due to limitations imposed by local legislation of the foreign countries, notification characteristics of the treaties and total premiums used by foreign companies in the reconciliation process. Therefore, all premiums obtained from aforementioned treaties are accounted on the fire branch. According to the letter dated August 2, 2011 and numbered B.02.1.HZN.0.10.03.01/38732 sent by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance to the Company, it is allowed to use average rate calculated over separately reported fire and earthquake premiums for unclassified premiums of proportioned treaties. Furthermore, according to the letter dated August 12, 2011 sent by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance to the Company, prospective application as at June 30, 2011 effective from January 1, 2011 is allowed since retrospective application is impossible. Accordingly, financial statements prepared As of December 31, 2021, premiums obtained from foreign proportioned treaties are accounted on the basis of average earthquake premium ratio calculated from foreign proportioned treaties over the period of January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2021. The same ratio is used for unproportioned reinsurance treaties in accordance with the Communiqué released on July 28, 2010 and numbered 27655 “Communiqué on Amendments to Communiqué on Technical Reserves for Insurance, Reinsurance and Pension Companies and the Related Assets That Should Be Invested Against Those Technical Reserves”. Distribution of commissions and claims between the fire and earthquake branches is parallel with the aforementioned method. According to the letter dated January 12, 2012 and numbered B.02.1.HZN.0.10.03.01/854 sent by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance to the Company, determination of final claims for the last business year used in IBNR calculation has been changed as of December 31, 2011. Accordingly, the final premium amount earned for the last business year is determined by considering premium development factors since premiums may be accrued in the following years under the terms of the agreements. Based on the calculated final premium amount of the last business year, unearned premium reserves and earned premiums are determined. Aforementioned earned premium amount is multiplied by the average of claim/premium ratio of the previous years to determine final claims amount of the last business year. IBNR is calculated by subtracting the paid and reported claims of the last business year from the final claims amount determined by the aforementioned method. In addition, IBNR amounts reported by sedan companies are taken into consideration and in order to prevent duplicate provision; paid claims, outstanding claims reserve and premiums of reported claims are excluded from the data set used in the calculation of IBNR. The Company determined final IBNR amount by adding reported IBNR amounts to IBNR amounts calculated from the data prepared in accordance with the principals mentioned above. According to 16 th article of “Circular on Actuarial Chain Ladder Method (2010/12)” dated September 20, 2010 and announced by Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance, ACML calculation should be made through main branches. However, as of December 31, 2012, the Company has calculated ACML reserve for General Damages main branch as two separate subbranches namely agriculture and non-agriculture branches. Because, Agriculture and Engineering subbranches under General Damages main branch have different characteristics in conversion process of outstanding losses to paid losses, IBNR calculation of General Damages branch produces unreliable and improper results. The Company applied to Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance on January 17, 2013 with letter numbered 300, so as to receive permission to calculate IBNR reserve for General Damages branch as agriculture and non-agriculture subbranches separately. Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance has given permission the Company in order to calculate IBNR reserve for General Damages within two subbranches with the letter dated January 28, 2013 and numbered 24179134. As at December 31, 2021, the Company recognised the amount that arose due to change in calculation method for IBNR on General Damages branch. Significant changes in accounting policies and significant accounting misstatements are applied retrospectively and prior period financial statements are restated. If the changes in accounting estimates are for only one period, they are applied prospectively both in the current period when the change is made and in the future period if the change is made. Critical accounting judgements used in applying the Company’s accounting policies are explained in 3 - Significant accounting estimates and requirements . 2.2 Consolidation “Circular Related to the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Insurance, Reinsurance and Individual Pension Companies” issued by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance in the Official Gazette dated 31 December 2008 and numbered 27097 (“the Circular for Consolidation”) requires that insurance, reinsurance and individual pension companies issue consolidated financial statements starting from 31 March 2009.
