  • Fully franked final dividend of 35.5 cents per share (FY19: 32.5 cps), an increase of 9.2%, taking FY20 total dividend to 50.0 cents per share, an increase of 4 cents per share (8.7%) vs FY19. Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) remains activated.

  • Resilient business performance in light of COVID-19, increasing premium retention and income yields vs prior year, underpinned by a diversified client portfolio.

AUB Group Limited (ASX:AUB) has reported a 15.2% increase in Underlying Net Profit After Tax (Underlying NPAT[1] ), to $53.4mn (FY19: $46.4mn). On an Underlying basis, earnings per share has increased to 72.45 cents per share, up 8.7% over the prior comparative period.

Consolidated Net Profit After Tax (Reported NPAT) decreased 2.3% to $47.3mn in FY20 (FY19: $48.4mn) due to non-cash accounting adjustments and acquisition costs (see Note 4 of the Financial Report).

AUB Group CEO and Managing Director, Michael Emmett, said: “I am extremely pleased to report our FY20 results, the strongest year on year growth results for the Group in 7 years. Despite a challenging external market environment with significant headwinds for our clients and insurance partners, AUB Groups’ portfolio has proven to be resilient and defensive, delivering a strong result while maintaining a consistent focus on our FY20 Execution Priorities that enhance our underlying growth drivers. FY20 was also a year of significant change for the business and I’m excited by the response from the partnership and our underwriting partners.”

1 Underlying Net Profit After Tax excluding adjustments to carrying values of associates, profit on sale and deconsolidation of controlled entities, contingent consideration adjustments, acquisition costs, impairment charges, and amortisation of intangibles. Performance measure used by management and the Board to assess underlying business performance.

Highlights by operating division

Australian Broking[2]

  • 14.6% increase in pre-tax profit contribution from Australian Broking to $62.1mn (FY19: $54.2mn).

  • Profit improvement and organic growth was assisted by an increase in Commercial Lines Insurance premiums averaging 6.3% and higher average premium per policy from new business.

  • Included in FY20 were $1.4mn of redundancy costs, an increased lapse provision $1.3mn, as well as the combined impact of reduced interest rates and lease accounting changes of $2.2mn.

  • EBIT margin 29.2% up 130bps from FY19.

  • 40% share of BizCover acquired effective 1 February 2020.

New Zealand

  • 31.9% increase in pre-tax profit contribution from New Zealand to $12.1mn (FY19: $9.2mn).

  • FY20 also benefited from the full year impact of the acquisition of an additional 50% of BWRS effective 1 January 2019.

  • Flattening premium rate growth and reduced interest income observed towards the end of FY20.

  • NZbrokers continues to perform well with growth in members and an improved membership proposition including enhanced technology.

Australian Agencies

  • 12.2% decrease in pre-tax profit contribution from Australian Agencies to $13.6mn (FY19: $15.5mn).

  • This was partially due to the impact of COVID-19 on our clients in the hospitality industry as well as ongoing process and pricing challenges in strata. The latter is being remediated by the implementation of the new agency system, cost reductions, and amended contracts with insurers.

Health & Rehabilitation[2]

  • 330.3% increase in pre-tax profit from Health and Rehabilitation to $4.2mn (FY19: $1.0mn).

  • The improved performance was the result of improved utilisation, reduced costs and a more diverse set of services in Altius Group.

  • On 1 April 2020, AUB Group sold its entire ownership interest in the Allied Health business.

Capital Management

  • Look through gearing[3] has increased to 34% (FY19: 22%), due to acquisition of BizCover.

  • The parent entity had cash and undrawn committed facilities of $94.0mn, and generated $50.6mn of operating cash.

  • The AUB Corporate debt facility increased by $100mn to $250mn during the year.

2 The Risk Services division has been restructured with Procare moving to Australian Broking and the remaining businesses forming the Health & Rehabilitation division. The cost of AUB Corporate staff overseeing Australian Broking and Health & Rehabilitation was previously captured in Corporate Expenses. These costs have been reclassified to the respective divisions. Comparative information has been restated to conform with the presentation in the current period.

FY21 Outlook and Guidance Upgrade

  • The AUB Group expects to deliver FY21 Underlying NPAT of $58.5mn - $61.0mn, representing growth of 9.5% - 14.2% over FY20.

  • In estimating FY21 Underlying NPAT, the Group has assumed the following:

  • Premium rates for Australia are expected to increase in the range of 5% to 6%;

  • Impacts of COVID-19 on the economy and on AUB Group will approximate those experienced in the past six months;

  • Continued small bolt-on acquisitions and shareholding changes in existing network members are assumed and included in the outlook provided;

  • Guidance excludes the impact of major acquisitions. If these were to occur, the Group would provide updated guidance at that stage;

  • The seasonally important Australian Broking June renewal cycle to perform in line with historical performance;

  • Case allocations for NSW Workers Compensation will approximate those experienced in the past six months (although the divestment of Allied means that these are now a much smaller component of the Groups’ revenues).

Table 2 Reconciliation of Underlying NPAT to Reported NPAT[1 ]

The reported profits of the business include non-operational items, such as profits and losses on sale of equity interests, fair value adjustments to carrying values on ownership changes, changes to estimates or payments of deferred contingent consideration amounts, impairment adjustments, amortisation of intangible assets and material acquisition costs. These profits or losses are not part of the regular trading activities and can distort the underlying performance of the business. These items have been eliminated to provide a clear representation of the underlying trading performance. This measure, labelled Underlying NPAT, is used by management and the board to assess operational performance, and is reconciled below.

1 The financial information in this table has been derived from the audited financial statements. The underlying NPAT is non-IFRS financial information and as such has not been audited in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

2 The Group’s acquisition policy is to defer a component of the purchase price, which is determined by future financial results. An estimate of the contingent consideration is made at the time of acquisition and is reviewed and varied at balance date if estimates change, or payments are made. This adjustment can be a loss (if increased) or a profit (if reduced). Where an estimate or payment is reduced, an offsetting adjustment (impairment) may be made to the carrying value.

  • 3 Where the carrying value of a controlled entity exceeds the fair value an impairment expense is recognised during the period.

4 Gain/loss on deconsolidation are excluded from Underlying NPAT. Such adjustments will only occur in future if further sales of this type are made.

5 The costs associated with the misconduct by the former M anaging Director of Austbrokers Canberra incurred from 1January 2019 to 30 June 2019 have been excluded from underlying NPAT.

6 Interest expense on movement in value of the put option liability

7 Insurance broking portfolios may be sold from time to time and any gains/loss from sale are excluded from underlying NPAT.

8 The adjustments to carrying values of associates or controlled entities arise where the Group increases its equity in associates whereupon they became controlled entities or decreases its equity in a controlled entity and it becomes an associate (deconsolidated). As required by accounting standards the carrying values for the existing investments have been adjusted to fair value and the increase included in net profit. Such adjustments will only occur in future if further acquisitions or sales of this type are made.

9 Amortisation expense is a non cash item.

Table 3 Management Presentation of Results

A number of the businesses in the AUB Group are associates and are not consolidated in the financial statements. In order to give a more comprehensive view of performance, the following table aggregates 100% of these businesses’ revenues and expenses with those of the consolidated businesses before deducting outside shareholder interests. This provides a view as to the growth in the network without potential distortion from shareholding changes that may move entities from consolidated to associates or vice versa. The following analysis is presented on an Underlying NPAT basis. A reconciliation of this data to the operating segments per the financial statements is included in the Director’s Report.

Organic Growth Acquisition Growth[2] FY21 Guidance

FY20

  • Premium rates for Australia are expected to increase in the range of 5% to 6%

  • Impacts of COVID-19 on the economy and on AUB Group will approximate those experienced in the past six months

  • Continued small bolt-on acquisitions and shareholding changes in existing network members are assumed and included in the outlook provided

  • Guidance excludes the impact of major acquisitions. If these were to occur, the Group would provide updated guidance at that stage

  • The seasonally important Australian Broking June renewal cycle to perform in line with historical performance

  • Case allocations for NSW Workers Compensation will approximate those experienced in the past six months (although the divestment of Allied means that these are now a much smaller component of the Groups’ revenues)

…we exited FY20 with strong momentum and are seeing early evidence of this continuing in FY21

1. Underlying NPAT is used by management and the board to assess operational performance and excludes non-operational items, such as profits and losses on sale

12 of equity interests, fair value adjustments to carrying values on ownership changes, changes to estimates or payments of deferred contingent consideration amounts, impairment adjustments and amortisation of intangible assets.

2. Acquisition growth includes the net effect of acquisitions, divestments, bolt-ons and increased equity stakes in FY21 vs FY20. Excludes major acquisitions.

  • Pre-tax profit contribution to AUB Group of $13.6mn, a decline of 12.2% on FY19. This was partially due to the impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry as well as ongoing process and pricing changes in strata. The latter are being remedied by the implementation of the new agency system, cost reductions and fine tuning arrangements with insurers.

  • Expenses decreased 0.8% from FY19 (but up 1.1% excl. last year’s agency system cost over-run) largely reflecting savings on discretionary spend.

AASB16 Leases – FY20 Impact of Underlying NPAT

==> picture [168 x 119] intentionally omitted <==

The new lease standard (AASB16) has become effective for the Group commencing 1 July 2019.

All leases are now recognised on the balance sheet at inception of the lease, with the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.

The lessee must recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability totalling the present value of the remaining lease payments.

Interest expense and a straight-lined amortisation expense have replaced rental expense from leases in scope of AASB16.

Over the life of any lease, the total expense to the income statement is the same as the total cash rental paid pre and post AASB16.

AASB16 decreases UNPAT (relative to pre AASB16) towards the beginning of the lease and increases UNPAT towards the end of the lease. The longer the lease period the greater the impact.

EBITDA increases as the rental expense is removed.

EBIT increases as the rental expense is removed and only partially offset by increased amortisation.

1. The financial information in this table has been derived from the audited financial statements. The Underlying NPAT is non-IFRS financial information and as such has not been audited in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

2. The Group’s acquisition policy is to defer a component of the purchase price, which is determined by future financial results. An estimate of the contingent consideration is made at the time of acquisition and is reviewed and varied at balance date if estimates change, or payments are made. This adjustment can be a loss (if increased) or a profit (if reduced). Where an estimate or payment is reduced, an offsetting adjustment (impairment) may be made to the carrying value.

3. Where the carrying value of a controlled entity exceeds the fair value an impairment expense is recognised during the period.

4. Gain/loss on deconsolidation are excluded from Underlying NPAT. Such adjustments will only occur in future if further sales of this type are made.

5. The costs associated with the misconduct by the former Managing Director of Austbrokers Canberra incurred from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019 have been excluded from Underlying NPAT. 6. Interest expense on movement in value of the put option liability

7. Insurance broking portfolios may be sold from time to time and any gains/loss from sale are excluded from Underlying NPAT.

8. The adjustments to carrying values of associates or controlled entities arise where the Group increases its equity in associates whereupon they became controlled entities or decreases its equity in a controlled entity and it becomes an associate (deconsolidated). As required by accounting standards the carrying values for the existing investments have been adjusted to fair value and the increase included in net profit. Such adjustments will only occur in future if further acquisitions or sales of this type are made.

9. Amortisation expense is a non-cash item.
