DIRECTORS’ REPORT

For the half year ended 30 June 2022

Divestment of equity interest in Resolution Life Australasia

On 3 November 2021 AMP Limited announced it had agreed to the divestment of its 19.13% equity interest in Resolution Life Australasia (RLA) for a consideration of $524 million to Resolution Life Group. This transaction completed on 28 June 2022.

Review of operations and results

The profit attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited for the half-year ended 30 June 2022 was $481 million (1H 21: profit of $146 million).

Basic earnings per share for the half year ended 30 June 2022 on a statutory basis was 14.7 cents (1H 21: 4.3 cents). On an underlying basis, the earnings per share was 3.6 cents (1H 21: 4.5 cents).

Key performance measures of the group were as follows:

  • 1H 22 NPAT (underlying)[1] of $117 million decreased 25% from $155 million in 1H 21. This decrease largely reflects the impact of lower AMP Bank earnings (-45%) relative to 1H 21 reflecting lower net interest margin, as well as 1H 21 benefitting from a one-off credit loss provision release, lower Australian Wealth Management earnings reflecting strategic competitive repricing (-20%) and lower New Zealand Wealth Management earnings (-11%) in a weaker market.

  • AMP’s total assets under management (AUM) and administration of $152.3 billion[2] in 1H 22 decreased by $19.6 billion (-11%) from FY 21 due to negative investment market returns and net cash outflows.

  • AMP Bank’s residential mortgage book increased to $22.4 billion driven by competitive pricing, consistent service and targeted growth in principal and interest loans across both owner-occupied and investment lending.

  • Australian Wealth Management net cash outflows were $1.9 billion in 1H 22, compared to net cash outflows of $3.6 billion in 1H 21. Net cash outflows in 1H 22 also included $1.0 billion of regular pension payments to members (1H 21: $1.0 billion). The improvement in net cash outflows was largely attributable to lower outflows across products.

  • AMP’s controllable costs, excluding AMP Capital discontinued operations, of $378 million were 11% lower than 1H 21 due to cost out benefits partly offset by structural cost increases.

  • AMP’s cost to income ratio was 68.4% in 1H 22, up from 65.7% in 1H 21 due to lower revenues.

  • Underlying return on equity was 5.6% in 1H 22, down from 7.4% in 1H 21.

  • 1H 22 total eligible capital resources were $1,455 million above regulatory and internal target requirements, up from $383 million at FY 21.

Operating results by business area

The operating results of each business area[3] for 1H 22 were as follows:

AMP Bank – 1H 22 NPAT (underlying) of $46 million decreased by $38 million (45%) from 1H 21 largely due to net interest income reducing $28 million (14%) from 1H 21, 1H 21 including a $12 million release of credit loss provision relating to COVID-19, and an increase in controllable costs.

Australian Wealth Management – NPAT (underlying) of $36 million in 1H 22 declined 20% from 1H 21 primarily due to hedging volatility in the North guarantee from market volatility and lower revenue predominantly from the impact of strategic repricing in Master Trust and Platforms, mostly offset by lower variable and controllable costs from the sale of the employed advice business and cost reduction initiatives.

New Zealand Wealth Management – 1H 22 NPAT (underlying) of $17 million decreased by $2 million (11%) from 1H 21 primarily due to the lower equity markets in 1H 22.

AMP Capital – AMP Capital continuing operations NPAT (underlying) of $26m was up 63% from $16m in 1H 21 due to higher contributions from joint venture investments. AMP Capital discontinued operations NPAT (underlying) of $31m was up 19% from $26m in 1H 21 benefitting from increased sponsor earnings in 1H 22.

Capital management and dividend

Equity and reserves of the AMP group attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited was $4.6 billion at 30 June 2022 ($4.0 billion at 31 December 2021).

AMP’s surplus capital above regulatory and internal target requirements at 30 June 2022 is $1,455 million ($383 million at 31 December 2021).

In line with prior guidance, the board has resolved not to declare a dividend in 1H 22. As a result of a strengthened capital position, AMP will return $1.1 billion of capital to shareholders comprising $350 million via an on-market share buyback, to commence immediately, with a further $750 million of capital returns planned in FY 23 subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. The $750 million return is expected to comprise a combination of capital return, special dividend or further on-market share buyback.

Strategy and prospects

AMP provided an update on its strategic growth plans for AMP Limited on 30 November 2021, setting a clear path to create a new AMP by:

– Separating the AMP Capital business from AMP, and then looking to demerge that business (or execute trade sale) to allow both businesses to focus on growth opportunities in their respective markets and realise efficiencies;

  • Renewing AMP’s purpose and values to put the customer at the centre, and continuing to drive cultural transformation;

  • – Repositioning core capabilities to drive growth in banking and wealth platforms;

  • Delivering stable earnings in the Master Trust and New Zealand Wealth Management businesses, and accelerating the transformation of Advice;

  • Simplifying the business to drive efficiency and agility, including delivering on the 2019 to 2022 $300 million cost reduction program; and

  • – Exploring new opportunities, including in retirement and in direct-to-consumer solutions, as well as in new business adjacencies.

1 NPAT (underlying) represents shareholder attributable net profit or loss after tax excluding non-recurring revenue and expenses. 2 Includes SuperConcepts assets under administration.

3 Operating results have been re-presented to align to the HY 2022 Investor Report.

AMP Limited

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

For the half year ended 30 June 2022

Sale of AMP Capital

AMP has made substantial progress on its divestment of AMP Capital; selling the Infrastructure Debt platform to Ares, the GEFI business to Macquarie Asset Management and entering into agreement to sell the real estate and domestic infrastructure equity business to Dexus, and the international infrastructure business to DigitalBridge. These transactions are expected to complete in 2H 22 and significantly strengthen AMP’s capital and liquidity position.

Invest to grow AMP Bank

The Bank continues to focus on growth by optimising its customer value proposition and being service experience led for both customers and brokers. The Bank is benefiting from, and continuing to invest in, technology to further digitise and automate its lending platform, and has commenced a controlled launch of a digital, direct-to-customer mortgage product ahead of the full roll out in the second half of 2022.

Transform Australian Wealth Management

The Australian Wealth Management business consists of the Platforms, Master Trust and Advice businesses which are transforming from a vertically integrated wealth model to a competitive, contemporary wealth model.

Grow the North Platform

Our Platform growth strategy is focused on attracting inflows through the independent financial adviser (IFA) market onto AMP’s flagship platform North by delivering enhanced digital experiences and differentiating through innovative market leading retirement solutions.

Optimise client outcomes in Master Trust

The Master Trust strategy continues to focus on its asset management capability to deliver strong investment performance to our customers and focusing on exploring partnership opportunities to drive scale and efficiencies.

Accelerate the transformation in Advice

AMP’s Advice strategy is to be a professional services provider, delivering valued licensee services at a competitive and sustainable price. Acceleration of the Advice business’ transformation will also see significant simplification of our Advice model, with an ambition of breaking even by 2024.

Deliver stable client earnings in New Zealand Wealth Management

New Zealand’s wealth management strategy is focused on leveraging partnerships and broadening its distribution footprint, whilst simplifying its cost base through automation and digitalisation.

Transform culture and strengthen performance

The path to a new AMP is enabled by cultural transformation (improving inclusion, diversity, strengthening accountability and performance), a purpose and values reset, and leadership engagement led by the CEO. In the first half of 2022, we continued to deliver changes in the transition to a simpler, purpose-led AMP. This work included:

  • Improving inclusion and diversity to drive performance

  • Continued to provide Core Inclusion training for all employees and inclusive leadership workshops.

  • Continued to build awareness and understanding of different types of diversity, with activities and learning and marking dates of significance in line with Inclusion & Diversity Framework.

  • Met 40:40:20 target for gender diversity for the Board, Executive management, middle management, and the workforce generally, with more to do at the Head of level.

  • Implemented enhanced parental leave benefits, removing parenting labels, increasing accessibility, and extending the period in which super contributions are made during unpaid parental leave.

  • Strengthening accountability across the company

  • Continued uplift of governance in support of prevention with a person-centred response to all workplace relations matters and a new People & Culture investigations framework.

  • Continued to increase transparency of conduct metrics through internal and external reporting.

  • Strengthened the link between misconduct and people processes, including internal appointments and the remuneration review.

  • – Creating a high-performance culture

  • Launched and commenced activation of refreshed purpose and values for AMP; this follows extensive internal and external research and engagement.

  • Continued to implement culture change plan in support of business objectives and creating a simple, purpose-led AMP.

  • Continued to protect, promote, and support employee safety and wellbeing with several programs and initiatives underway including a systematic review of AMP’s work, health, and safety management system (WHSMS), a review of the WHS incident reporting framework, and extensive learning resources and education programs.

  • Launched a new HR system to deliver a simpler and better employee experience, and help facilitate the performance process.

AMP Limited financial report Notes to the financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2022

Section 1: About this report

This section outlines the structure of the AMP group, information useful to understanding AMP group’s half year 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

1.1 Basis of preparation of the half year financial report

The AMP group is comprised of AMP Limited (the parent), a holding company incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and the entities it controls (subsidiaries or controlled entities). The consolidated financial statements of AMP Limited include the financial information of its controlled entities.

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 AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . AMP Limited 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 2021 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.

Comparative information has been reclassified where required for consistency with the current half year’s presentation. The principal accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the 2022 half year financial report are consistent with those applied to the 2021 annual financial report.

Sale of AMP Capital

On 23 April 2021, AMP announced its intention to exit AMP Capital’s private markets investment management business via demerger. Subsequent to that announcement, and as part of AMP’s divestment strategy, AMP announced a series of sales transactions, which includes AMP Capital’s private markets investment management business and other AMP Capital businesses (collectively AMP Capital businesses). The residual investments of AMP Capital (China Life AMP Management Company Ltd (CLAMP), Pacific Coast Capital Partners (PCCP) and certain sponsor investments) will remain a part of the AMP Group. These transactions and their impact on AMP’s financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2022 are as follows:

  • On 11 February 2022, AMP completed the sale of its infrastructure debt platform to Ares Holdings LP. The results relating to the infrastructure debt platform have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated income statement and the impact of the sale is included within the Gain on disposal of businesses sold in note 5.2.

  • On 28 March 2022, AMP completed the sale of its Global Equities and Fixed Income (GEFI) business to Macquarie Asset Management. The results relating to the GEFI business have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated income statement and the impact of the sale is included in the Gain on disposal of businesses sold in note 5.2.

  • On 27 April 2022 AMP announced it had entered into an agreement for the sale of AMP Capital’s real estate and domestic infrastructure equity business to Dexus Fund Management Ltd (Dexus) for an upfront cash consideration of $250 million. In addition, Dexus will acquire AMP’s existing and committed sponsor stakes in the platform for cash consideration expected to be approximately $450 million (final consideration based on valuation at completion). AMP will also be eligible to receive a further cash earn-out of up to $75 million, subject to Assets Under Management retention over a nine-month period after completion.

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to complete in the second half of 2022. The results of this business have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated income statement (refer to note 5.2) and its assets and liabilities have been separately classified as held for sale in the Consolidated statement of financial position.

  • On 28 April 2022 AMP announced it had entered into an agreement for the sale of AMP Capital’s international infrastructure equity business to DigitalBridge Investment Holdco, LLC for upfront consideration of $462 million and a maximum potential earn-out of $180 million contingent on future fund raisings.

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to complete in the second half of 2022. The results of this business have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated income statement (refer to note 5.2) and its assets and liabilities have been separately classified as held for sale in the Consolidated statement of financial position.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements:

The AMP group is subject to taxes in Australia and other jurisdictions where it has operations. The application of tax law to the specific circumstances and transactions of the AMP group requires the exercise of judgement by management. The tax treatments adopted by management in preparing the financial statements may be impacted by changes in legislation and interpretations or be subject to challenge by tax authorities.

Judgement is also applied by management in determining the extent to which the recovery of carried forward tax losses and deductible temporary differences are probable for the purpose of meeting the criteria for recognition as deferred tax assets.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements:

The impairment provisions (individual and collective) are outputs of ECL models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting estimates and judgements include:

  • the AMP group’s internal grading which assigns PDs to the individual grades;

  • the AMP group’s estimates of LGDs arising in the event of default;

  • the AMP group’s criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk;

  • development of ECL models, including the various formulas, choice of inputs and assumptions; and

  • determination of associations between macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weightings, to derive the economic inputs into the ECL models.

Future outcomes and macro-economic conditions which differ from management’s assumptions and estimates could result in changes to the timing and amount of credit losses to be recognised.

Section 3: Loans and advances, investments and intangibles

3.4 Fair value information (continued)

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

Equity securities The fair value of equity securities 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. For debit securities with a maturity of less than 12 months, par value is considered a
reasonable approximation of fair value.
Loans The estimated 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 curve appropriate to the remaining term of the loans. The loans may,
from time to time, be measured at an amount in excess of fair value due to fluctuations on fixed rate loans.
In these situations, as the fluctuations in fair value would not represent a permanent diminution and the
carrying amounts of the loans are recorded at recoverable amounts after assessing impairment, it would
not be 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 (e.g. 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. The models use a number of inputs, including the credit quality of counterparties,
foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies, currency basis
spreads between the respective currencies, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying
instruments. Some derivatives contracts are significantly cash collateralised, thereby minimising both
counterparty risk and the group’s own non-performance risk.
Corporate borrowings Borrowings comprise commercial paper, drawn liquidity facilities, various floating-rate and medium-term
notes and subordinated debt. The estimated fair value of borrowings is determined with reference to
quoted market prices. For borrowings where quoted market prices are not available, a discounted cash
flow model is used, based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity. For
short-term borrowings, the par value is considered a reasonable approximation of the fair value.
AMP Bank deposits and The estimated fair value of deposits and other borrowings represents the discounted amount of estimated
other borrowings future cash flows expected to be paid based on the residual maturity of these liabilities. The discount rate
applied is based on a current yield curve appropriate for similar types of deposits and borrowings at the
reporting date.
Guarantee liabilities The fair value of guarantee liabilities is determined as the net present value of future cash flows
discounted using market rates. The future cash flows are determined using risk neutral stochastic
projections based on assumptions such as mortality rate, lapse rate and asset class allocation/correlation.
The future cash flows comprise expected guarantee claims and hedging expenses net of expected fee
revenue.

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 in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • 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); and

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

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

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

3.4 Fair value information (continued)

Level 3 fair values

For financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the valuation processes applied in valuing such assets and liabilities was governed by valuation policies adopted by the AMP group including AMP Capital valuation policy. These policies outline the asset valuation methodologies and processes applied to measure nonexchange traded assets which have no regular market price, including infrastructure, private equity, alternative assets, and illiquid debt securities.

The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 3 fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Section 4: Capital structure

4.3 Capital management

AMP holds capital to protect customers, creditors and shareholders against unexpected losses. There are a number of ways AMP assesses the adequacy of its capital position. Primarily, AMP aims to:

  • maintain a sufficient surplus above minimum regulatory capital requirements (MRR) to reduce the risk of breaching MRR; and

  • maintain the AMP group’s credit rating.

These factors are balanced when forming AMP’s risk appetite as approved by the AMP Limited board.

Calculation of capital resources

The AMP group’s capital resources include ordinary equity and certain hybrid capital instruments. Adjustments to these amounts are made for intangibles, associate equity investments and other assets required to be removed by regulation.

The table below shows the AMP group’s capital resources at reporting date:

30 Jun 31 Dec

  • 2 Includes $94m of intangibles classified as Assets held for sale on the Consolidated statement of financial position (2021: $14m).

  • 3 Equity investments relate to holdings of associate equity investment where AMP holds a minority interest. As at 30 June 2022, the investment on Global Infrastructure Fund Sponsor ($67m), Global Infrastructure Fund II ($115m), ACRT Finance Pty Limited ($124m) and Core Infra Fund ($11m) have been reclassified from investments in associates to assets held for sale (2021: $517m).

  • 4 Other regulatory adjustments relate to securitisation, deferred tax assets and other provisions for AMP Bank, deferred tax assets for Australian wealth management and include an adjustment for eligible seed and sponsor investment classified as equity investments in AMP Capital.

  • 5 Eligible hybrid capital instruments are subordinated debt which is able to be included as eligible capital for the purpose of meeting minimum regulatory requirements.

Capital requirements

A number of the operating entities within the AMP group of companies are regulated and are required to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements (MRR). In certain circumstances, APRA or other regulators may require AMP and other entities of the AMP group to hold a greater level of capital to support its business and/or restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid by them. Any such adjustments would be incorporated into the minimum regulatory requirements and monitored as part of the capital management policy.

The main minimum regulatory capital requirements for AMP’s businesses are:

Operating entity Minimum regulatory capital requirement
AMP Bank Limited (AMP Bank) Capital requirements as specified under the APRA ADI Prudential
Standards
N. M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited Operational Risk Financial Requirements as specified under the
APRA Superannuation Prudential Standards
AMP Capital Investors Limited and other ASIC regulated AMP
Capital businesses
Capital requirements under AFSL requirements
National Mutual Funds Management Limited, ipac Asset
Management Limited and other AWM entities
Capital requirements under AFSL requirements

AMP Limited financial report Notes to the financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2022

Section 4: Capital structure

4.3 Capital management (continued)

The AMP group maintains capital targets reflecting their material risks (including financial risk, product risk and operational risk) and AMP’s risk appetite. The target capital requirement is a management guide to the level of excess capital that the AMP group seeks to carry to reduce the risk of breaching MRR.

AMP Limited and AMP Bank have board approved minimum capital levels above APRA requirements, with additional capital targets held above these amounts. Capital targets are also set for AMP Capital to cover risk associated with seed and sponsor capital investments and operational risk. Other components of AMP group’s capital targets include amounts relating to Group Office investments, defined benefit funds and other operational risks.

All of the AMP group regulated entities have at all times during the current period and prior financial year complied with imposed capital requirements to which they are subject.

5.2 Discontinued operations

(a) Sale of AMP Capital

AMP has announced a series of sales transactions which will result in AMP’s divestment of its AMP Capital businesses. AASB 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (AASB 5) requires the income, expenses and cash flows of these businesses to be separately disclosed as discontinued operations. For the period ended 30 June 2022, discontinued operations represents the income, expenses and cash flows of:

  • AMP Capital’s infrastructure debt platform from 1 January 2022 to 11 February 2022;

  • AMP Capital’s GEFI business from 1 January 2022 to 28 March 2022;

  • AMP Capital’s real estate and domestic infrastructure equity business through 30 June 2022; and

  • AMP Capital’s international infrastructure equity business through 30 June 2022.

In accordance with AASB 5, the comparative period results have been restated.

The residual assets of AMP Capital, principally its investments in CLAMP, PCCP and certain sponsor investments will remain a part of the AMP group. Accordingly, the related income, expenses and cash flows of these investments are included within continuing operations.

(b) Profit or loss for the period from discontinued operations The results of AMP Capital’s sold businesses included within AMP group’s Consolidated income statement are set out below, including comparative information.

Following the sale of AMP Capital, certain service arrangements will continue between AMP and those businesses.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements:

The group recognises lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets for all leases where the group is a lessee, except for short term leases and leases where the underlying asset is of low value. Management applies judgement in identifying and measuring lease liabilities and assessing impairment indicators for ROU assets which includes:

  • assessing whether a contract contains a lease;

  • determining lease term and incremental borrowing rate;

  • separating lease and non-lease components;

  • assessing lease modification vis-a-vis new lease;

  • assessing the usage of ROU assets and the associated benefits.

1 Includes provisions related to APRA enforceable undertaking and other compliance matters.

2 Other provisions include provisions for deferred payments relating to purchase of client registers, make-good and other provisions relating to rental premises and other operational provisions.

Significant accounting estimates and judgements:

The group recognises a provision where a legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date and a reliable estimate can be made of the likely outcome. Provisions are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted for management’s best estimates, however significant judgement is required to estimate likely outcomes and future cash flows. The judgemental nature of these items means that future amounts settled may be different from those provided for.

From time to time, the AMP group may incur obligations or suffer financial loss arising from litigation or contracts entered into in the normal course of business, including guarantees issued by the parent for performance obligations of controlled entities in the AMP group. Legal proceedings threatened against AMP may also, if filed, result in AMP incurring obligations or suffering financial loss. A contingent liability exists in relation to actual and likely potential legal proceedings.

Where it is determined that the disclosure of information in relation to a contingent liability can be expected to adversely prejudice the position of the AMP group (or its insurers) in a dispute, accounting standards allow the AMP group not to disclose such information. It is the AMP group’s policy that such information is not disclosed in this note.

Industry and regulatory compliance investigations

AMP is subject to review from time to time by regulators, both in Australia and offshore. In Australia, AMP’s principal regulators are APRA, ASIC, AUSTRAC and the ATO, although other government agencies may have jurisdiction depending on the circumstances. The reviews and investigations conducted by regulators may be industry-wide or specific to AMP and the outcomes of those reviews and investigations can vary and may lead, for example, to the imposition of penalties, variations or restrictions to licences, the compensation of clients, enforceable undertakings or recommendations and directions for AMP to enhance its control framework, governance and systems.

AMP regularly undertakes additional reviews, as part of ongoing monitoring and supervision activities, to determine, amongst other things, where clients or other stakeholders, including employees, may have been disadvantaged. In some instances, compensation has been paid and where the results of our reviews have reached the point that compensation is likely and can be reliably estimated then a provision has been raised. These provisions are judgemental and the actual compensation could vary from the amounts provided.

Litigation

Shareholder class actions

During May and June 2018, AMP Limited was served with five competing shareholder class actions, one filed in the Supreme Court of NSW and the others filed in the Federal Court of Australia. The actions follow the financial advice hearing block in the Royal Commission in April 2018 and allege breaches by AMP Limited of its continuous disclosure obligations. Each action is on behalf of shareholders who acquired an interest in AMP Limited shares over a specified time period. Subsequently, the four proceedings commenced in the Federal Court of Australia were transferred to the Supreme Court of NSW. The Supreme Court of NSW determined that a consolidated class action (of two of the class actions) should continue, and the other three proceedings were permanently stayed. Following various appeals (including to the High Court of Australia), the consolidated class action continues. AMP Limited has filed its defence to the proceedings. The claims are yet to be quantified and participation has not been determined. Currently it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of these claims, if any, upon AMP. AMP Limited is defending these actions.

Superannuation class actions

During May and June 2019, certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, N.M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited (NM Super), AMP Superannuation Limited (AMP Super), NMMT Limited and AMP Services Limited (AMP Services), were served with two class actions in the Federal Court of Australia. The first of those class actions relates to the fees charged to members of certain of AMP superannuation funds. The second of those actions relates to the fees charged to members, and interest rates received and fees charged on cash-only fund options. The two proceedings were brought on behalf of certain superannuation clients and their beneficiaries. Subsequently, the Federal Court ordered that the two proceedings be consolidated into one class action. The AMP respondents have filed defences to the proceedings. The claims are yet to be quantified and participation has not been determined. Currently, it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of these claims, if any, upon AMP. The proceedings are being defended.

Financial adviser class action

In July 2020, a subsidiary of AMP Limited, namely, AMP Financial Planning Pty Limited (AMPFP), was served with a class action in the Federal Court of Australia. The proceeding is brought on behalf of certain financial advisers who are or have been authorised by AMPFP. The claim relates to changes made by AMPFP to its Buyer of Last Resort policy in 2019. The claim is yet to be quantified and participation has not been determined. Currently it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim, if any, upon AMP. AMPFP has filed its defence to the proceedings, and AMPFP is confident in the actions it took in 2019 and is defending the proceeding accordingly.

Commissions for advice and insurance advice class action

In July 2020, certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, AMPFP and Hillross Financial Services Limited (Hillross) were served with a class action in the Federal Court of Australia. The class action related to advice provided by some aligned financial advisers in respect of certain life and other insurance products. Subsequently, in August 2020, AMP Limited, and certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, AMPFP, Hillross and Charter Financial Planning Limited (Charter), were served with a class action in the Federal Court of Australia. The class action primarily related to the payment of commissions to some aligned financial advisers in respect of certain life insurance and other products and in respect of allegations of charging of fees where advice services were not provided. In December 2020, the Federal Court ordered that these two class actions be consolidated. The AMP respondents have filed a defence to the proceedings. The claim is yet to be quantified and participation has not been determined. Currently, it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim, if any, upon AMP. The proceedings are being defended.

ASIC civil penalty proceedings in respect of deceased customers

Certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, AMPFP, NM Super, AMP Super and AMP Services, are the subject of proceedings brought by ASIC on 26 May 2021. The proceedings allege contraventions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth) (ASIC Act) relating to the alleged charging and retention of insurance premiums and advice service fees following the death of members of superannuation funds in the period between 26 May 2015 and 31 August 2019. ASIC’s claim is in respect of 2,069 deceased members affected by the retention of premiums, and 27 deceased members affected by the retention of advice fees. AMP has completed remediation for customers identified as being affected by such instances.

ASIC is seeking declarations of contraventions of various sections of the Corporations Act and ASIC Act and orders for the payment of pecuniary penalties and other consequential orders. The AMP respondents filed a defence to the proceedings. Currently, it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim upon AMP.

ASIC civil penalty proceedings in respect of plan service fees

Certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, AMPFP, Hillross, Charter, AMP Super and AMP Services, are the subject of proceedings brought by ASIC on 29 July 2021. The proceedings allege contraventions of the Corporations Act and the ASIC Act relating to the alleged charging and retention of plan service fees following members of superannuation funds delinking from their corporate super plan into a retail account in the period between 31 July 2015 and 30 June 2019. ASIC’s claim is in respect of around 1500 members affected by the retention of plan service fees. AMP has completed remediation for customers identified as being affected by such instances.

ASIC is seeking declarations of contraventions of various sections of the Corporations Act and ASIC Act and orders for the payment of pecuniary penalties and other consequential orders. The AMP respondents filed a defence to the proceedings and the parties have subsequently filed a statement of agreed facts and admissions with the Court (including that the proceedings against AMP Services are to be discontinued). Currently, it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim upon AMP.

5.4 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)

Addressing historical matters through regulator actions

AMP has been working through a number of historical matters raised at the Royal Commission and elsewhere, and since 2018, has been taking action to strengthen assurance and operational controls, accountability and processes, improve compliance and risk management, and remediate impacted customers.

In 2021, AMP’s Superannuation Trustees (AMP Superannuation Limited and N.M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited) entered into an enforceable undertaking (EU) with APRA for historical matters in the Superannuation business. APRA has acknowledged that AMP has addressed and completed remediation for several matters, and at the completion of this EU, AMP envisages that all outstanding matters referred to APRA by the Financial Services Royal Commission will be concluded.

Indemnities and warranties to Resolution Life

Under the terms of the sale agreement for the sale of the wealth protection and mature businesses to Resolution Life Australia Pty Ltd (Resolution Life), AMP has given certain covenants, warranties and indemnities in favour of Resolution Life in connection with the transaction. A breach of these covenants or warranties, or the triggering of an indemnity, may result in AMP being liable for some future payments to Resolution Life. Management’s best estimate of future payments for these indemnities and warranties has been recognised within these financial statements where they can be reliably estimated. There remain other indemnities and warranties for which no provision has been recognised and a contingent liability exists should such indemnities and warranties be called upon or where actual outcomes differ from management’s expectations.

5.5 New accounting standards

AMP group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the group.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

5.6 Events occurring after reporting date

On 11 August 2022, AMP announced its intention to return $1.1 billion of capital comprising $350 million via an on-market share buyback, to commence immediately, with a further $750 million of capital returns planned during 2023 subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.

As at the date of this report, the AMP Limited board is not aware of any other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the reporting date that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect the group’s operations; the results of those operations; or the group’s state of affairs in future periods.

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the Shareholders of AMP Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of AMP Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2022 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ( including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
