Admiral Announces Acquisition of RSA’s Direct U.K. Home and Pet Insurance Business
Admiral has announced the acquisition of Royal Sun Alliance’s U.K. direct home and pet insurance business. The purchase price is currently GBP 82.5 million, but the terms of the agreement mean there could be an additional GBP 32.5 million payment added to this, depending on the number of policies migrated. The acquisition is expected to close in the later part of next year’s first interim. While small, the acquisition is not insignificant, bringing in around GBP 165 million in gross premiums written, adding around 5% to Admiral's premiums. We maintain our EUR 30.7 per share fair value estimate and our narrow moat rating.
