20.2 Self-insurance Provision
Delhaize Group’s U.S. operations are self-insured for their workers compensation, general liability, vehicle accident and
pharmacy claims up to certain retentions and holds excess-insurance contracts with external insurers for any costs in excess of
these retentions. The self-insurance liability is determined actuarially, based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred
but not reported. The assumptions used in the development of the actuarial estimates are based upon historical claims
experience, including the average monthly claims and the average lag time between incurrence and payment.
The maximum retentions, including defense costs per occurrence, are:
USD 1.0 million per accident for workerscompensation;
USD 3.0 million per occurrence for general liability;
USD 3.0 million per accident for vehicle accident; and
USD 5.0 million per occurrence for pharmacy claims.
Our property insurance in the U.S. includes self-insured retentions per occurrence of USD 10 million for named windstorms, USD
5 million for Zone A flood losses and USD 2.5 million for all other losses.
Delhaize Group is also self-insured in the U.S. for health care, which includes medical, pharmacy, dental and short-term
disability. The self-insurance liability for claims incurred but not reported is based on available information and considers annual
actuarial evaluations of historical claims experience, claims processing procedures and medical cost trends.
