Review of operations and results

Basic earnings per share for the half year ended 30 June 2014 on a statutory basis were 13.1 cents per share (1H 13: 13.6 cents per share).

AMP’s underlying profit for the half year ended 30 June 2014 was $510 million (1H 13: $440 million) . On an underlying basis, earnings were 17.2 cents per share (1H 13: 15.0 cents per share).

For the half year ended 30 June 2014

AMP’s key performance measures were as follows:

• 1H 14 underlying profit of $510 million, up 16% on 1H 13, reflecting a 17% increase in business unit operating earnings from 1H 13, partially offset by increased interest expense on higher average corporate debt

• 1H 14 cost to income ratio of 45.0%, an improvement of 3.4 percentage points on 1H 13; controllable costs up $4 million (0.6%) to $650 million

• Australian wealth management 1H 14 net cashflows were $1,116 million, down $267 million from net cashflows of $1,383 million in 1H 13 (cashflows exclude SMSF). Higher total retail net cashflows on AMP platforms of $1,625 million were partially offset by higher net cash outflows on external platforms of $615 million.

• AMP Capital external net cashflows were $1,642 million, up $3,712 million from a net cash outflow of $2,070 million in 1H 13, driven by stronger inflows generated by the China Life AMP Asset Management joint venture and MUTB alliance

• Underlying return on equity increased 1.3 percentage points to 12.5% in 1H 14 from 1H 13, reflecting the increase in underlying profit, partially offset by higher average capital held.

AMP’s total AUM was $205 billion at 30 June 2014 ($197 billion at 31 December 2013).

Differences between underlying profit and statutory profit

The 30 June 2014 underlying profit of $510 million excludes the impact (net of any tax effect) of:

• net loss from one-off and non-recurring items of $3 million

• AXA integration costs of $11 million

• business efficiency program costs of $49 million

• amortisation of AXA acquired intangible assets of $44 million

• market adjustment gains of $10 million, and

• accounting mismatches loss of $31 million.

A reconciliation between underlying profit and statutory profit is provided in note 2 of the financial report.

Under Australian Accounting Standards, some assets held on behalf of policyholders (and related tax balances) are recognised in the financial report at different values to the values used in the calculation of the liability to policyholders in respect of the same assets. Therefore, movements in these policyholder assets result in accounting mismatches which impact profit attributable to shareholders. These differences have no impact on the operating earnings of the group.

The impact of accounting mismatches on profit after tax arising from policyholder assets is as follows:

	1H 14	1H 13
Accounting mismatch profit/(loss)	$m	$m
Investments in controlled entities	3	19
Treasury shares	(37)	11
Superannuation products invested with AMP Bank	3	(10)
Owner occupied property	-	(2)
Total accounting mismatch profit/(loss)	(31)	18

Capital management

Equity and reserves of the AMP group attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited decreased to $8.03 billion at 30 June 2014 from $8.09 billion at 31 December 2013. .

AMP remains well capitalised, with $1.94 billion in shareholder regulatory capital resources above minimum regulatory requirements (MRR) at 30 June 2014 ($2.08 billion at 31 December 2013).

AMP’s interim 2014 dividend is 12.5 cents per share, franked to 70%. This represents a first half 2014 dividend payout ratio of 73% of underlying profit. AMP will continue to offer the dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) to eligible shareholders. For the 2014 interim dividend no discount will apply to the DRP allocation ‑ price. AMP intends to neutralise the impact of the DRP by acquiring shares on market to satisfy any entitlements under the DRP.
