IRB Brasil RE informed today (April 22nd), in a statement sent to the market and to its shareholders, it made available a monthly report delivered to the Federal Insurance Commissioner (Susep), through the Periodic Information Form (FIP). The figures for February confirm the improvement trend in 2021 results.
For better understanding, once the FIP meets the requirements of the accounts plan defined by Susep, the company made available, on its Investor Relations website, a spreadsheet with the financial data for February and the first two months of the year. The material reconciles the information presented in the FIP with the Business Vision model, used in the company’s financial disclosures. It should be noted that this data is subject to change and it has not been audited.
Check out the highlights for February and 2021 first two months:
