<Impact of the Thai Flooding to Our Business Projections for Full-Term FY2011>
The flooding in Thailand which began in early October of this year is still continuing. Although draining work has begun in some industrial parks, we are still not able to visit the affected factories for loss surveys and are thus unable to determine the extent of the damage to our individual clients.
Therefore, we have factored in the Thai flooding loss by applying certain damageability percentages to the insured values of the properties which exist in areas where inundation has been confirmed, to our updated Business Projection for Full-Term FY2011.
For the Thai flooding, we estimate the total gross loss (before reinsurance) to be about ¥200.0 billion, half of which to be our Group's net incurred loss.
The breakdown of net incurred losses amongst Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire and our overseas group companies is about ¥50.0 billion each.
We also expect to pay out approximately ¥25.0 billion of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire's expected losses during FY2011, most of which will be covered by its (or, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire's) catastrophe loss reserves.
We have identified flooding in Thailand as one of the significant risks and have carried out risk analyses such as assessing the PML of our portfolio, however, the magnitude of the current flooding both in terms of geographical scope and duration of time has exceeded our assumptions and that of many other experts.
Nevertheless, we view the expected loss from the Thai Flooding can be fully absorbed by the capital buffer Tokio Marine holds for this kind of extreme event and therefore the impact on our financial soundness will be limited.
