Margin pressure from fixed cost absorption
Softer-than-expected top-line growth, particularly in Q4, caused a 90bps drag on margins from fixed cost absorption, which could recur if growth remains weak.
Regulatory changes (commission caps, IFRS transition)
Potential commission caps or IFRS-related adjustments could impact business model and profitability; management acknowledged uncertainty.

Strengthening of persistency assumptions due to 13-month persistency decline added 40bps margin drag; further deterioration could impact VNB.
