Focus now on embedding improvements in business to ensure sustainability

Wealth protection – improvement plan

Guidance

  • 1H 14 results reflect success of management actions, including:

  • 2H 14 profit margins expected to increase slightly relative to 1H 14

  • › improved claims management processes for in-force claims, which have reduced claims reserves

  • Best estimate assumptions unchanged from FY 13 guidance

  • › retention campaigns targeting customers with higher propensity to lapse

  • Continue to anticipate aggregate FY 14 claims will be broadly in line with FY 13 experience, with gradual improvements from FY 14

Next steps

  • Longer-term strategic initiatives now building on these activities, including:

  • Group risk experience outcomes in 2H 14 should improve post repricing actions

  • › fundamentally different claims management approach – initial pilot in 2H 14

  • FY 14 best estimate lapse assumptions around 1 percentage point worse than FY 13 lapse experience; gradually reverting to levels approximately in line with FY 12 experience by 2017

  • › new claims management platform – first release expected late 2H 14

  • › targeted retention programs for customers and advisers

  • Gradual reversion of best estimate claims and lapse assumptions to lower longer term levels, combined with increasing costs from strategic investment, will require ongoing delivery of improved lapse and claims outcomes to avoid re-emergence of negative experience

  • › new insurance proposition built around customer needs – currently testing concepts; aspects of new offer expected to be in market next year on ‘test and learn’ basis

==> picture [110 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

  • Shift in philosophy to help customers return to health and work, rather than simply pay a benefit, delivering encouraging results in customer satisfaction and commercial outcomes in early pilots

Guidance summary

Controllable costs

  • FY 14 controllable costs expected to rise by around 1.5% from FY 13

  • › Growth in underlying costs from CPI and wages expected to be fully offset by business efficiency program. Any outperformance in business efficiency program likely to be directed to further investment in customer and growth initiatives

  • › Removal of research and development tax credits (FY 13: A$15m; FY 12: A$13m) and anticipated stronger NZ foreign exchange rate will lift total controllable costs by around 1.5%

  • Expected business efficiency program pre tax costs of A$145m in FY 14, A$90m in FY 15 and A$28m in FY 16

  • Business efficiency program estimated cumulative controllable cost benefit to P&L of A$19m in FY 14, FY 15 A$69m, FY 16 A$138m (see chart 19 for estimated variable cost savings)

  • Estimated incremental AXA integration cost synergy benefit of A$17m (post tax) expected in FY 14

  • Amortisation of acquired AXA intangibles of approximately A$89m in FY 14 (post tax)

  • AMP Capital is targeting a cost to income ratio of 60%-65% for FY 14

Wealth management

AMP continues to expect average margin compression of 3.5%-4.5% per annum over the MySuper implementation period from 2013 to 2017; as MySuper plan transitions have now commenced, average compression is expected to be around the higher end of this range, as previously guided, through to 2017 and may be volatile from period to period

Wealth protection

  • 2H 14 profit margins expected to increase slightly relative to 1H 14

==> picture [110 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

  • Continue to anticipate aggregate FY 14 claims will be broadly in line with FY 13 experience, with gradual improvements from FY 14 from the expected impact of management actions currently underway

  • Group risk experience outcomes in 2H 14 should improve post repricing actions

  • FY 14 best estimate lapse assumptions around 1 percentage point worse than FY 13 lapse experience; gradually reverting to levels approximately in line with FY 12 experience by 2017

  • Gradual reversion of best estimate claims and lapse assumptions to lower longer term levels, combined with increasing costs from strategic investment, will require ongoing delivery of improved lapse and claims outcomes to avoid re-emergence of negative experience

Mature

Expected to run off between 4%-6% per annum; in volatile investment markets this run-off rate can vary substantially

Dividend policy

Full year payout ratio of 70%-80% of underlying profit

Capital

  • APRA has released its planned final capital standards for conglomerate groups but deferred implementation to allow for any potential changes that may result from the FSI recommendations and the Government’s response to them. APRA has committed to providing a minimum 12 months’ transition time before any new standards come into force

  • AMP expects to be compliant with the requirements when implemented. Based on the standards in their current form, AMP expects to meet additional capital requirements from within existing capital resources

  • The rate of return used for calculating underlying investment income on total shareholder assets in FY 14 will be unchanged from FY 13 (3.0% pa after tax on total shareholder assets, except for DAC which will be 1.8% pa after tax)

  • Best estimate assumptions unchanged from FY 13 guidance

financial advisers
Structure where advice, solutions and services designed as a package to meet customer goals
provides significant benefits to customers, including access to affordable advice
Provides extra layer of training, investment and supervision
Concerns about cost of superannuation
system compared with overseas pension
systems
Similar concerns behind Cooper recommendations, resulting in MySuper implementation on 1 January
2014; need time for this reform to work through
Competitive pressures, including MySuper, reducing revenue margins between 3.5%-4.5% pa in wealth
management business
Valid comparisons with overseas systems need to account for inclusion of insurance, active
management and investment choice, and ability to invest in long term assets such as infrastructure
Best basis for comparisons is net return to consumers
Increased focus on development of
retirement incomes market
AMP already No. 2 in retirement incomes market; A$29b in retirement assets under management
A$1b+ of 1H 14 flows onto North platform directed to account-based pension products
Complex issues need to be addressed in policy setting; requires in-depth, holistic review to set
retirement incomes framework to meet evolving community demands
