ASX Release
29 January 2026
Update to Group costs and CTI methodology, and FY 26 costs
Ahead of its FY 25 Results on 12 February 2026, AMP Limited provides an update on its cost allocation methodology and its cost-to-income calculation.
AMP has reviewed how costs are allocated across its business units and corporate centre (Group). This follows a period of transformation and an extensive cost reduction program.
Through the Business Simplification program, AMP has reset its cost base to reflect the go forward business. These cost allocation changes, which largely represent technology and property related costs, more accurately reflect the costs of operating the business units in their current configuration within the AMP Group. The updated allocation gives the market the most appropriate view from which to assess performance of the business units and future prospects.
These changes do not impact AMP Limited’s total controllable cost base, nor its total net profit after tax (NPAT).
However, the cost allocation changes result in a restatement of the individual business unit reported underlying NPAT figures for FY 24 and 1H 25 (excluding New Zealand as it operates on a stand-alone basis). Prior periods have been restated below[1] (appendix 1). In FY 24, $48 million has been re-allocated from Group to the business units, and in 1H 25 $25 million has been reallocated.
Cost outlook
AMP expects FY 25 costs to be in line with guidance.
FY 26 controllable costs are expected to be in the range of $630 - $640 million reflecting inflation of 3-4% as well as the costs attributable to the scaling of AMP Bank GO.
Cost-to-income methodology
AMP also provides an update on its cost-to-income (CTI) calculation, to bring its definition in line with peers (primarily by removing the impact of investment income in the calculation).
Going forward, CTI will be calculated as: controllable costs divided by gross profit. This will be at both the AMP Limited and business unit level. Prior periods for AMP Limited have been restated below:
| 1H 25 | FY 24 |
|
|---|---|---|
| CTI reported | 59.4% | 63.8% |
| New CTI calculation | 63.0% | 67.6% |
1 Prior periods will not be restated in the segment note in the Annual Financial Report, as these changes do not meet the restatement requirements under Australian Accounting Standards. However, prior period business unit results presented in the Data Pack, which reflects a management view of the businesses, will be restated accordingly.
