        Management Commentary:

    S Kannan, managing director and chief executive officer at ICICI Prudential      Life, said, “We have maintained positive momentum in business and profitability during the nine months ended FY2023 and have registered a strong year-on-year growth of 23.2% in the Value of New Business, which stood at 17.10 billion for the period ending 9M-FY2023. This consistent track record of healthy compounding of VNB and near doubling of the VNB margin are a result of the “transformative” diversification in products, distribution partnerships and customer segments that began in FY19.

        Outlook:

    ICICI Pru.’s revenue jumps by 78% YoY at the same time the profits of the company decline by 29% in the same period of time. However, VNB grew at 23.2% along with the persistency ratio which improved across all cohorts of 13th, 25th, 37th, 49th, and 61st months. India’s insurance sector has a low penetration of about 22% which is very low as compared to the other developed nations and going forward it is expected to grow to 125% by FY-2035 which gives the company a huge headroom to grow. The 9M EPS of the company stands at ₹4.02 and we expect it to be at ₹5.36 for FY23 at the P/E of 90.36x
