Danish term or phrase: tekniskt resultat
Of course "technical results" is sometimes used, but incorrect I would say.
I would say that “underwriting profits” would be a better translation.
But what terminology is used in the EU institutions?

underwriting profit
Explanation:
Both underwriting and technical profit are used within EU institutions. I prefer underwriting as being clearer in an ins. context than tech. which could also be ambiguous for a paper profit.

IATE:

SV försäkringstekniskt resultat
underwriting profit/loss
teknisk vinst
tekniskt resultat
EN technical profit

SV tekniskt resultat
försäkringstekniskt resultat
EN underwriting profit
