Success in a Redefined World An Industry MutualPerspective
Who Are We? • OIL and OCIL are Industry Owned Insurance Companies (“Mutuals”) • Owned by and Serving the Oil and Gas Industry (70 of the Largest Global Companies) • OIL Writes $225 M Limits Property and Pollution Coverage – Formed 1972 • OCIL Writes $100 M Liability Coverage – Formed 1986 • Located Offshore in Bermuda
Other Companies and Institutions that Did Not Recognize and Adapt to Change • IBM’s Reliance on Mainframe Computers • The Polaroid Camera • Lloyds
Why Should We Be Concerned? • OIL and OCIL Enjoy High Customer/Shareholder Satisfaction • OIL for Example: • Built Capital of Almost $2 B with No Investment • Lowest Expense Ratio in Industry (3%) • Made $350 M in Income Last Year • Returned $700 M in Dividends in Last Three Years • Shareholder Base Expanding • So What’s the Problem?
The Challenge • Signs of Fundamental and Irreversible Change (Shift in the Paradigm) • In our Customer Base (the “Energy” Industry) • In our Competition (the Insurance/Financial Services Industry) • Change Can Impact Business Models • Change Can Create Threats • Also, New Opportunities
The Process • Retained External Resources (A T Kearney) • Interviewed All Shareholders • Interviewed Selected Brokers and Competitors • Developed Macro View of Industry Dynamics • Considered Implications to OIL/OCIL • Competitive Position • Challenges • Opportunities • Developed Specific Strategic Responses
Energy Market Dynamics • OIL & Gas Industry Reshaping into Three Distinct Groups • “Mega-majors” • Midrange • Specialists • Likely to Continue Due to Shareholder Pressure • Presence of Midrange Companies Will Diminish • Demand for Traditional Insurance Products Will Be Reduced • Diverging Risk Profiles and Preferences • Oil & Gas/Transportation/Utility “Convergence”
Insurance Market Dynamics • Excess Capacity Will Slow Return to Rational Pricing Prolonging Intense Competition • Non-traditional Alternatives Will Cap Rate Increases at Price Efficient Levels • Trend Towards Enterprise Risk Management • Deconstruction of the Value Chain – Segment Specialization • Emergence of E-Commerce
Impact of Energy and Insurance Market Dynamics Energy Industry Transformation Impact of Technology OIL OCIL Emergence of Alternative Solutions Intense Competition
Specific Strategic Responses • Retain and Build On Mutual Structure • Eligibility – Broaden “Energy” Definition • OCIL Declared Electric Utilities, Mining Eligible • OIL Changes (Under Review) • Coverage/Limits (Under Review) • Strategic Partnerships (Under Review) • Coordinate Strengths of OIL and OCIL • Leverage Unique Member ‘Franchise’
Specific Strategic Responses • Marketing/Shareholder Relations • Additional Resources • Product and Marketing Committee • Comprehensive Marketing Plan • Refine Equity of OIL Rating Formula • Changes in Sector Weighting • Governance • Ability to React Quicker • More Flexibility/Delegation • Governance Sub-Committee • E-Commerce Strategy
E-Commerce Strategy • Potential Savings to Industry So Great, E-Commerce Enabled Insurance Transactions Are Inevitable (Over $100 B Available - Kearney) • Cultural, Institutional and Regulatory Hurdles Have Delayed Development • Few Insurance Net Start-Ups Are Broad, Independent and Buyer-Focused • OIL/OCIL See a Unique Opportunity to Add Value to Shareholders by Facilitating Change
Our Vision of an Exchange:“Insurance Net” • End-To-End Integration (Linking Large Numbers of Buyers, Sellers, Advisors) • Independent (Not Favoring a Single Component of the Value Chain) • Open to All • Offering the “Three Cs” • Commerce • Content • Community • Buyer Focused and User Friendly
Options For Playing a Role • Develop Our Own Exchange • High Cost • Sub-Scale • High Risk of Losing the Race • Wait And See • No Control Over Developments • Sub-Optimal Solutions • No Value Added to Shareholders • Influence An Independent Exchange • Low Cost • First Mover Advantage • High Influence (Bring Financing and Critical Mass) • Enhanced Shareholder Value Proposition
Implementing an E-Commerce Strategy • Retained A T Kearney to Help With Due Diligence • Selected Existing Insurance Exchange Best Aligned With Our Vision • Assessed Capability of Execution • Strategic Investment in Early Financing Round • Chose Global Risk Exchange (“GRX”) • Seat on Board, Input Into Business Plan • Dedicated Energy Relationship Manager • Focus Groups, Beta Testing to Develop Product
