Dear Shareholders, Distinguished Guests, and Partners,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to this important gathering and to present the CEO’s remark for the 2024/25 fiscal year. This year has been one of both meaningful progress and profound lessons for Zemen Insurance S.C. We navigated an operating landscape characterized by economic uncertainty, regulatory shifts, rising competition, and organizational transitions. Yet, despite these challenges, our company demonstrated resilience, discipline, and strategic focus achieving commendable performance in growth, profitability, and institutional strengthening.
Our Gross Written Premium Income (GWPI) reached Birr 699.5 million, marking a 28.27% growth from last year, an achievement realized despite delayed branch openings, high staff turnover, and market distortions affecting pricing and fair competition. While we fell short of our target, the growth underscores our expanding customer base and increasing market relevance. Profitability also showed a strong performance: Zemen registered Birr 211.8 million in gross profit 40.3% above budget and a 19.54% increase from last year.
Our paid-up capital grew substantially to Birr 415.3 million, strengthening our financial foundation, while total assets surpassed Birr 1.36 billion, reflecting a solid and growing balance sheet.
