Sign InAlm. Brand Group has issued a profit warning for 2026, reversing its previous optimistic outlook following a significant ruling by the Supreme Court. The court decision pertains to workers' compensation, lowering the threshold for lost earnings capacity compensation to 5% from the previous 15%. This legal shift is expected to necessitate a strengthening of reserves, directly impacting the insurance service results which were previously guided at DKK 1.8-2.0 billion. The warning overshadows the robust performance initially reported in the group's Commercial Lines during the first quarter. Analysts are now assessing the long-term financial implications of this increased liability on the company's balance sheet. This development highlights the regulatory and legal risks currently facing the Danish insurance sector.
