Review of operations and results

AMP's profit attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited for the half year ended 30 June 2017 was $445 million (1H 16: $523 million).

AMP’s underlying profit for the half year ended 30 June 2017 was $533 million (1H 16: $513 million) .

Underlying profit is AMP’s key measure of business profitability, as it normalises investment market volatility stemming from shareholder assets invested in investment markets and aims to reflect the trends in the underlying business performance of the AMP group. Underlying profit excludes the impact of market volatility, accounting mismatches and other items.

Basic earnings per share for the half year ended 30 June 2017 on a statutory basis were 15.3 cents per share (1H 16: 17.9 cents per share). On an underlying basis, earnings were 18.1 cents per share (1H 16: 17.3 cents per share).

AMP’s key performance measures were as follows:

  • 1H 17 underlying profit of $533m increased 4% from $513m in 1H 16, driven by strong operating earnings growth from AMP Capital (+11%), AMP Bank (+10%) and New Zealand financial services (+5%).

  • Australian wealth protection earnings increased by 11% on 1H 16 reflective of the steps taken to stabilise the business in 2H 16.

  • Australian wealth management earnings declined 1% from 1H 16 largely due to margin compression from MySuper transitions and a reset of the investment management agreement with AMP Capital.

  • Underlying investment income decreased $11m to $50m from 1H 16 due to lower shareholder capital resources and a 50 bp reduction in the assumed underlying after-tax rate of return.

  • Australian wealth management 1H 17 net cashflows were $1,023m, up 76% from 1H 16. AMP’s retail and corporate super platform net cashflows were positively impacted by recent changes to superannuation contribution limits and large mandate wins.

  • AMP Capital external net cash inflows were $2,439m, up from net outflows of $153m in 1H 16. Inflows were driven by strong flows into fixed income and real asset (infrastructure and real estate) capabilities.

  • Underlying return on equity rose 2.6 percentage points to 14.5% in 1H 17 from 1H 16, largely reflecting the impact of capital management programs.

AMP Limited

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

For the half year ended 30 June 2017

Capital management

Equity and reserves of the AMP group attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited decreased to $7.2 billion at 30 June 2017 from $7.5 billion at 31 December 2016, mainly driven by the planned on market share buy back and investment in growth businesses.

AMP remains well capitalised, with $1.9 billion in shareholder regulatory capital resources above minimum regulatory requirements at 30 June 2017 ($2.2 billion at 31 December 2016).

Events occurring after reporting date

As at the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the reporting date that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the entity’s operations in future years; the results of those operations in future years; or the entity’s state of affairs in future years which is not already reflected in this report, other than the following:

Dividends

AMP’s interim 2017 dividend is 14.5 cents per share, franked to 90%. This represents an interim 2017 dividend payout ratio of 79% of underlying profit. AMP will continue to offer the dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) to eligible shareholders. For the 2017 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.

Reinsurance program

AMP’s focus has been to reposition the wealth protection business in Australia as significantly less capital intensive. In August 2017, AMP Life executed a comprehensive program of reinsurance arrangements effective 1 November 2017 that is expected to release approximately $500m of capital (subject to regulatory approval) and will result in the AMP Life retail portfolio being effectively 65% reinsured. This substantively completes the reinsurance program to release capital from the Australian WP business.

The new reinsurance arrangements apply to claims incurred from 1 November 2017. AMP will retain its current level of exposure to any claims incurred prior to that date, so the full benefit of the reduction in profit volatility will arise over time as all earlier claims are reported and settled.

Rounding

In accordance with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations Instrument 2016/191, amounts in this directors’ report and the accompanying financial report have been rounded to the nearest million Australian dollars, unless stated otherwise.

AMP Limited financial report Notes to the financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2017

Section 1: About this report

This section outlines the structure of the AMP group, information useful to understanding the AMP group’s financial report and the basis on which the half year financial report has been prepared.

  • 1.1 Basis of preparation of the half year financial report

  • 1.2 Understanding the AMP financial report

1.1 Basis of preparation of the half year financial report

The consolidated economic entity (the AMP group or AMP) comprises AMP Limited (the parent entity), a company limited by shares, and incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and all the entities it controlled during the period (subsidiaries).

The consolidated entity prepares a general purpose financial report. This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB134 Interim Financial Reporting . AMP group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing financial statements.

This half year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial position and financial performance of the AMP group as that given by the annual financial report. As a result, this report should be read in conjunction with the 2016 annual financial report of the AMP group and any public announcements made in the period by the AMP group in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

The principal accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the 2017 half year financial report are consistent with the accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the 2016 annual financial report. Comparative information has been reclassified where required for consistency with the half year’s presentation.

1.2 Understanding the AMP financial report

The consolidated financial statements of AMP Limited include the financial information of its controlled entities.

AMP business operations are carried out by a number of these controlled entities including AMP Life Limited (AMP Life) - a registered life insurance entity and its related controlled entities, AMP Bank Limited (AMP Bank) and AMP Capital investment management companies.

AMP Life’s business is conducted through statutory funds and relates to the provision of wealth management and life insurance products to investors, referred to as policyholders. The investment assets of the statutory funds represent the majority of the assets of the AMP group, a large proportion of which is held on behalf of policyholders. The corresponding liabilities to policyholders are classified as either life investment or life insurance contract liabilities. Under Australian Accounting Standards, some assets held on behalf of policyholders (and the related tax balances) are included in the financial statements at different values to those used in the calculation of the liability to policyholders in respect of the same assets. The impact of these differences flows through to shareholder profit and they are referred to as accounting mismatches in the segment disclosures in Note 2.1(b).

AMP Capital operates a large number of registered managed investment schemes and other pooled investment vehicles. AMP Life makes significant policyholder investments into these vehicles. In many cases, this results in the vehicle being controlled and therefore consolidated in its entirety into the AMP group financial statements, including the portion that represents the shareholdings of external parties, known as non-controlling interests.

As a consequence, these consolidated financial statements include not only the assets and liabilities, income and expenses and cash flows attributable to AMP Limited’s shareholders but also the assets and liabilities, income and expenses and cash flows of the statutory funds attributable to policyholders and non-controlling interests.

1 Underlying investment income consists of investment income on shareholder assets invested in income producing investment

assets normalised in order to bring greater clarity to the results by eliminating the impact of short-term market volatility on underlying performance. Underlying returns are set based on long-term expected returns for each asset class, except for a short-term return, equivalent to a one-year government bond, set annually for the implicit deferred acquisition costs component of shareholder assets. Market adjustment - investment income is the excess (shortfall) betw een the underlying investment income and the actual return on shareholder assets invested in income producing investment assets.

2 Other items largely comprise the net of one-off and non-recurring revenues and costs, including the cost of implementing significant regulatory changes.

  • 3 Market adjustment - annuity fair value relates to the net impact of investment markets on AMP's annuity portfolio.

4 Market adjustment - risk products relates to the net impact of changes in market economic assumptions (bond yields and CPI) on the valuation of risk insurance liabilities.

2.2 Taxes

This sub-section outlines the impact of income taxes on the results and financial position of AMP. In particular:

  • the impact of tax on the reported result;

  • amounts owed to/receivable from the tax authorities;

  • deferred tax balances that arise due to differences in the tax and accounting treatment of balances recorded in the financial report; and

  • discussion of the impacts of life insurance policyholder tax.

These financial statements include the disclosures relating to tax required under accounting standards. Further information on AMP’s tax matters can be found in the AMP Tax Report at www.amp.com.au.

(a) Income tax expense

The income tax expense amount reflects the impact of both income tax attributable to shareholders as well as income tax attributable to policyholders. In respect of income tax expense attributable to shareholders, the tax rate which applies is 30% in Australia and 28% in New Zealand.

Income tax attributable to policyholders is based on investment income allocated to policyholders less expenses deductible against that investment income. The impact of the tax is charged against policyholder liabilities. A number of different tax rate regimes apply to policyholders. In Australia, certain classes of policyholder life insurance income and superannuation earnings are taxed at 15%, and certain classes of income on some annuity business are tax-exempt. The rate applicable to New Zealand life insurance business is 28%.

The following table provides a reconciliation of differences between prima facie tax calculated as 30% of the profit before income tax for the half year and the income tax expense recognised in the Income statement for the half year.

AMP Limited financial report Notes to the financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2017

Section 3: Investments and intangibles

3.3 Fair value information (continued)

AMP’s methodology and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below:

Equity securities and The fair value of equity securities traded in an active market and listed managed investment schemes
listed managed reflects the quoted bid price at the reporting date. In the case of equity securities and listed managed
investment schemes investment schemes where there is no active market, fair value is established using valuation techniques
including the use of recent arm’s length transactions, references to other instruments that are substantially
the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
Debt securities The fair value of listed debt securities reflects the bid price at the reporting date. Listed debt securities that
are not frequently traded are valued by discounting estimated recoverable amounts. The fair value of
unlisted debt securities is estimated using interest rate yields obtainable on comparable listed
investments.
Loans The fair value of loans represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be
received, based on the maturity profile of the loans. As the loans are unlisted, the discount rates applied
are based on the yield curves appropriate to the remaining term of the loans. The loans may be measured
at an amount in excess of fair value due to fluctuations on fixed rate loans. As the fluctuations in fair value
do not represent a permanent diminution and the carrying amounts of the loans are recorded at
recoverable amounts after assessing impairment, it is not appropriate to restate their carrying amount.
Unlisted managed The fair value of investments in unlisted managed investment schemes is determined on the basis of
investment schemes published redemption prices of those managed investment schemes at the reporting date.
Derivative financial The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives) is
assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices (current bid price or current offer price) at the reporting date. The fair value
of financial instruments not traded in an active market (eg over-the-counter derivatives) is determined
using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, option pricing
models, discounted cash flow methods and comparison to quoted market prices or dealer quotes for
similar instruments.
Subordinated debt The fair value of subordinated debt is determined with reference to quoted market prices at the reporting
date.

The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorised using the fair value hierarchy which reflects the significance of inputs into the determination of fair value as follows:

  • Level 1: the fair value is valued by reference to quoted prices and active markets for identical assets;

  • Level 2: the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices);

  • Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the 2017 financial half year. Transfers to and from Level 3 are shown in the Reconciliation of Level 3 values table later in this note.

Financial assets valuation process

For financial assets categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the valuation processes applied in valuing such assets is governed by the AMP Capital asset valuation policy. This policy outlines the asset valuation methodologies and processes applied to measure non-exchange traded assets which have no regular market price, including investment property, infrastructure, private equity, alternative assets, and illiquid debt securities. All significant Level 3 assets are referred to the appropriate AMP Capital valuation committee who meet at least every six months, or more frequently if required.

AMP Limited financial report Notes to the financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2017

Section 5: Other disclosures

This section includes disclosures other than those covered in the previous sections, required for the AMP group to comply with the accounting standards and pronouncements.

  • 5.1 Contingent liabilities

  • 5.2 New accounting standards

  • 5.3 Events occurring after reporting date

5.1 Contingent liabilities

As at the date of this report, there have been no material changes in contingent liabilities since those reported in the 2016 annual financial report.

Section 5: Other disclosures

5.2 New accounting standards

a) New and amended accounting standards adopted by the AMP group

There are no new standards or amendments to standards which apply for the first time in 2017 which would have a material impact on the financial reports of the AMP group.

b) New accounting standards issued but not yet effective

A number of new accounting standards and amendments have been issued but are not yet effective, none of which have been early adopted by the AMP group in this financial report.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15) and AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9) are effective for periods beginning on 1 January 2018. Implementation projects for these standards are well-progressed. Based on the current status of the implementation projects, no material impact on the AMP group is expected upon adoption of AASB 15 and AASB 9.

AASB 17 Insurance Contracts

AASB 17 Insurance Contracts (AASB 17) is effective for periods beginning on 1 January 2021. The new standard will introduce significant change to the accounting for life insurance contracts and the reporting and disclosures in relation to those contracts.

The new standard, of itself, does not change the underlying economics or cash flows of the life insurance business. However, it is anticipated that there will be an impact on profit emergence profiles from life insurance contracts. Subject to any changes to regulation or legislation which may be made in response to the new standard, there may also be an impact on the determination of capital requirements and income tax.

The detailed requirements of the standard are complex and, in some cases, the final impact of these requirements will not be determined until interpretations and regulatory responses to the new standard are developed. The AMP group is currently undertaking an assessment of the potential impact of this standard.

5.3 Events occurring after reporting date

In August 2017, AMP Life executed a comprehensive program of reinsurance arrangements effective 1 November 2017 that is expected to release approximately $500m of capital (subject to regulatory approval) and will result in the AMP Life retail portfolio being effectively 65% reinsured.

Other than this matter, as at the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial half year that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • the AMP group’s operations in future years;

  • the results of those operations in future years; or

  • AMP group’s state of affairs in future financial years.
