Mondial Assistance Annual Report 2008

Brand values

Caring: a passion for people
We are people who care about people. This
is why the rst thing on our minds every day is
your well-being. And to make sure we are getting it
right, we listen to you rst to understand what you
need. This open dialogue is second nature to us.
Why? Simply because we really do care. An integral
part of our job is acting on our passion for people.
At the end of the day, it’s about helping you and
making you feel special.
Our passion makes the difference.

Connected: a global
community
We are as diverse and widespread as you are. In fact,
our strength lies in our diversity – the essence of our
global community. Have you ever wondered why
you can reach us and rely on us anytime, anywhere?
It’s simple. Because we are everywhere at all times.
Our vast human and technological connections
and resources make this possible. We use our global
resources to lend a helping hand, wherever you
may be.
Our global reach with our local human touch.

Proactive: going beyond
expectations
We’re never satis ed to just wait for your call. Each
of you and your customers is different. For us, part
of helping you is anticipating what you need before
you call; and offering solutions that exceed your
expectations after you call. Solutions that surprise,
innovate, and reassure above and beyond the call of
duty. When we put our proactivity to work, what we’re
really doing is working to improve the way we serve
you, continuously.
Creating solutions that innovate and surprise,
day in, day out.

Professional: expertise
at your service
We do not keep our wealth of skills and expertise
for ourselves but make them available to you, when,
where and how you need them. Whether you or your
customers need the full story, or just the answer, our
years of professionalism are the foundation of all our
business relationships. We have built a reputation of
excellence, and are proud that you are a part of it.
Our guarantee of excellence at your service.

Trust: to earn it everyday
Trust has to be earned. We know that. Whether
it’s towards a relative, a friend or a customer, we can
win your trust only one way – by showing you that we
are dedicated, honest and reliable every single day.
Our goal is to make sure that each one of your lives
is safer, simpler and more secure. To do this, earning
your trust comes rst. Trust truly is at the heart of
what we do.
The heart of who we are.

Group history

A history of
helping people
In 1950 in Switzerland, when people began traveling more,
a team of forward thinking business pioneers created ELVIA
Travel Insurance. This year marked the beginning of our
story in helping people. Twenty-four years later in 1974,
SACNAS-Mondial Assistance was founded in France; and our
helping reached a new level. The creation of SACNAS-Mondial
Assistance paralleled the development of the assistance busi-
ness, which, in addition to travel insurance, included roadside,
medical and repatriation assistance. In 1979, AGF became a
shareholder of Mondial Assistance.
During the 80’s and 90’s, still as two separate entities, (Elvia and
Mondial Assistance), we accompanied our corporate clients
through their own changes. As they grew geographically, so did
we, developing first in Europe and then gradually throughout the
rest of the world. In 1995, Elvia joined German’s Allianz Group.
In 2000 Elvia Travel Insurance and SACNAS-Mondial Assistance
successfully merged and created our group as we know it today.
With nearly 80 years of combined experience and know-how, we
became the leading world player in assistance, travel insurance
and customer services.
We acquired World Access in the United States in April 2000 and
Worldcare in Australia a year later.
In 2006, we launched a new Brand identity and values world-
wide. This was a long-term strategic step for us. It showed our
dedication to you and your well-being, and reflected our rich,
multi-cultural diversity.
In 2007 we hit a landmark year. On January 1st, our four French
companies – Mondial Assistance, France Secours, Elvia and
SSC – merged to form Mondial Assistance, a unique entity and
brand. In doing so, we confirmed and solidified our position in
France. And true to our goal to grow internationally, we ope-
ned offices in Mexico and India. We also acquired Medvantis,
a medical call-centre in Switzerland. We registered our Russian
office in 2007 and began operations there on March 1st, 2008.
Today, we operate under a unique brand name and speak to you
with a single voice. We are present on all 5 continents and feel
right at home in the 28 different countries where we are pre-
sent. Wherever you go, we are always close by, looking out for you.
We are here to make sure you have our help, anytime, anywhere.
You – our customers, stakeholders and staff members – were,
are and always will be what our business is all about.

Mondial Assistance Annual Report 2008 1

Editorial

Breaking from the string of bad news, we are proud to present
our 2008 results. They aptly reﬂect the energy and commitment that
the 9,817 talented people who make up our Group demonstrated this past year.
Together, they embody our business mission and passion - helping people,
anywhere, anytime. Our turnover was 1.597 billion euros, up 6%, and our net return
was 62.6 million euros, +9.6% over 2007 ! These results clearly reinforce
our leading world position in assistance and travel insurance.

2008: Growth in a troubled environment
Despite the current economic environment, the tourism market continued to grow slightly, but then slowed due to the volatile
world economy. The automotive industry took a real beating from the compounded effects of the crisis. The financial sector,
also seriously shaken, lost some important players, while a new financial landscape, though still in flux, begins to emerge.
In this complex, unstable context, competition remains fierce on the markets and continents where we are present.
Nevertheless we actively pursued growth in all regions where we currently operate, often despite unfavorable exchange rates.
Our efforts paid off because 2008 proved to be another strong growth year, + 6% with an operating profit of 106.1 millions
euros. Our excellent profitability, with a combined ratio of 94.9%, is the result of our strict, long-term cost control policy.

Innovation and sharing best practices – at the heart of our success
Our four business lines all contributed to sales growth. Tourism activities account for 48% of Group turnover, nearly 50% of
which is generated by e-tourism. The automotive business still represents 39% of overall sales, and today, health & lifecare
services constitute the Group’s third mainstay for development.

Geographic expansion leads to more balanced international sales
We registered our strongest geographic expansion in the Americas (Canada and Brazil) and the Asia Pacific (Japan and
Australia). Both regions, which represent 19% and 9.5% respectively, contribute more and more to Group turnover. In Europe,
71.5% of Group sales, Italy, Belgium, Spain and France registered the strongest growth. Five countries from three continents
(France, USA, Italy, Australia and UK) together represent 57% of Group turnover. This weight illustrates our objective to achieve
more balanced, international sales.

A new subsidiary joins the Mondial Assistance family
We continued to expand in Eastern Europe in 2008 and opened a subsidiary in Moscow, confirming our investment strategy in
BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). This geographic expansion strengthens our relations with global customers and
demonstrates our firm commitment to partners who wish to offer innovative, top quality services in every corner of the world.

2009: What lies ahead
Given the international context, we expect 2009 to be a difficult year. However, when signs of the crisis first appeared, we quickly adjus-
ted our strategy to limit costs and help absorb the impact. Today, our policy to balance risks, geographically and in terms of products
and distribution channels, is undeniably one of the Group’s solidifying factors as it allows us to absorb some of the negative effects of
the crisis. While we remain focused on our immediate future, we are also preparing our long-term growth comeback. By launching stra-
tegic initiatives outlined in our ambitious “2015 plan”, we will be able to double our turnover. In 2009 we will further develop synergies

And we will seize all opportunities in new distribution channels.
