At least the AGM can be held "early" since they do not need to rent/hire Bomas/KICC since the AGM will be virtual. No need to plan for tents, gifts, food, etc for 1000s of shareholders.

I hope they announce a dividend but given COVID I am not banking on it anymore. If they do, pay it out pap!


Last year results was released on 28th March.I wonder why it has taken so long this time.The squabble in the board concerning Mwarania seems not to be over.
COVID? New Auditor General?

New Auditor General dealing with backlog that occurred when the office was vacant.

Remember last year they were given leeway to release unaudited FY results but couldn't pay dividends till the financial statements were audited by the Auditor General.
Dividend was paid in November.

Kenya Reinsurance has put a tender for sale of Reinsurance Plaza Kisumu.
Reserve price Ksh.1 billion
Applause Applause Applause Sell and pay a dividend Applause Are there buyers at that price in this market?


The rich Indians from Kisumu or government though the process may take time to conclude.

Part of the proceeds may also be used to put up their new commercial building (twin towers) in Upper Hill
There are many rich Luos who can buy it. Applause

Using the proceeds to build a new commercial building in Upper Hill, in the near future, would be STUPID and CRIMINAL. Shame on you

The proceeds should be invested in the stock market if the prices remain low. The best is to pay out a dividend. Next best is a share buyback.

@vvs.
There you have it;
""The reason (for sale) is strategic reinvestment," Kenya Re chief executive Jadiah Mwaraniah said in response to the Business Daily queries without divulging further details."

They will not use the proceeds to payout a dividend and highly unlikely stocks.



The main shareholder(GOK) with 60%,is in distress of cash for referendum,budget 2021/2022 and general election 2022.They could be pushing to get this cash.
They pushed safaricom to declare an interim dividend.

https://www.businessdail...rastatals-money-3296618

Can't rely on this since they ain't sure they will get a buyer.
Safaricom is a different case since it doesn't have financial regulatory compliances

Kenya Re is over-capitalized for the size of its business.
It is earning low returns on its cash (deposits, T-Bills).
The sale of the property is a matter for 2021.
The dividend is for FY2020.

BUT the IRA can block a dividend.



Property portfolio is more than 30% of its total assets.

Delay is due to change in actuarial valuation methodology in respect to Unearned Premium Reserves and claims reserves to an approach recommended by Insurance Regulatory Authority of Kenya.
This was to ensure regulatory compliance in reserving for both unearned premiums and claims by the corporation.
Every effort is being exerted to have the results released before 31 May 2021.

AM Best Credit Ratings agency says although Kenya Re has not yet released financial results for year-end 2020, it anticipates that underwriting performance will have improved materially compared with the prior year, when the company reported a combined ratio of 117.5%.

Am Best says outside Kenya where it gets compulsory 20% cession of business from local insurers, its competitive position is significantly weaker in other markets.

They shouldn't go below ksh.0.20.
The DPS should be at that level at worse or go higher.

The results are quite good under the circumstances. From the earlier press release it seems KenyaRe might have had take some additional hits/provisions relating to new rules/IFRS.

About time KenyaRe got real about property valuations. I always discount these when I do my analysis.

- Kisumu property for sale at 1bn but no offers it seems.
- Vacancies in existing properties due to COVID and other reasons.
- CMA looking to move
- Upper Hill plot is dead in the water for now.

There wasn't much of a FV loss in 2020 in the accounts but in reality it should have been much higher.
