Clarification of operating earnings post sale of Cobalt/Gordian
AMP Limited announced earlier today the sale of its closed reinsurance and general insurance operations, Cobalt/Gordian, to the Enstar Group Limited.
To assist the market in its analysis of AMP's future earnings, AMP is providing clarification around the use of tax losses in subsequent periods.
Part of the Cobalt/Gordian operating earnings in prior periods has been comprised of the gradual recoupment of carried forward tax losses from that business. By virtue of the tax consolidation regime, this loss recognition will continue to be reflected in AMP's operating earnings post the completion of the Cobalt/Gordian disposal.
For financial year 2008, that amount is currently estimated at approximately $28 million. The benefit is linked to overall taxable earnings and is to continue to 2012.
