SCOR SE (SZCRF.PK), a French tier 1 reinsurance company, on Friday reported a turnaround to profit for the first quarter with higher gross written premium. However, the company reported a decline in insurance revenue.
For the three-month period, the Paris-headquartered firm posted a net income of 311 million euros, compared with a net loss of 35 million in the previous year.
