AUB Group Limited (ASX:AUB) has reported a 22.9% increase in Underlying Net Profit After Tax (Underlying NPAT[1,2] ), to $65.3mn (FY20: $53.2mn). On an Underlying basis, earnings per share has increased to 87.93 cents per share, up 22.0% over the prior comparative period.

Reported Net Profit After Tax (Reported NPAT) attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent increased 50.3% to $70.6mn (FY20: $47.0mn). The increased Reported NPAT was due to strong underlying organic growth, primarily in the Australian Broking division, and profit on the divestment of Altius.

AUB Group CEO and Managing Director, Michael Emmett, said: “FY21 was a year of extraordinary ups and downs. Our clients and our teams continued, as they do today, to face significant personal and commercial stresses given the range of COVID-19 consequences and interventions. I am very proud of the way in which the AUB family has dealt with this. The business continues to demonstrate a remarkable resilience although one we do not take for granted. Our teams have worked tirelessly to support our clients and each other and it is an honour to share in their success today as we announce a very strong result.

The transformation of AUB Group has continued at pace during FY21. Our exit from Health and Rehabilitation Services is complete, the performance improvement in Austbrokers has accelerated, BizCover continues to grow both revenue and profit at an impressive rate while the remediation of Agencies is starting to deliver results with both margin and profit improvement during the period. We are however far from done. Our New Zealand operations are still in the early stages of transformation, running until FY23. We have restructured key elements of the New Zealand business, have a technology investment underway and plan a series of acquisitions to grow scale in Agencies and enhance Broking product and geographic capability.

Initiatives to support our growth plans for FY22 and beyond are well in flight. As a result, we anticipate Underlying Net Profit after Tax in FY22 of between $70mn and $73mn representing growth on continuing operations of 15.7% to 20.7%.”

Highlights by operating division

Australian Broking[1]

  • Underlying pre-tax profit for the year increased by 21.8% to $72.0mn (FY20: $59.1mn). This increase was predominantly driven by:

BizCover[1]

  • Underlying pre-tax profit for the year increased by 190.0% to $8.9mn (FY20: $3.1mn). This increase was due to:

New Zealand[1]

  • Underlying pre-tax profit for the year decreased by 13.2% to $10.6mn (FY20: $12.2mn).

FY22 Outlook

  • The AUB Group expects to deliver FY22 Underlying NPAT of $70.0mn - $73.0mn, representing growth of 15.7% - 20.7% over FY21 continuing operations.[1]

  • 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%;

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

  • 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 March and June renewal cycle to perform in line with historical performance;

  • COVID-19 impacts to be muted and in-line with those experienced in FY21.

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 an investment or asset exceeds the fair value or value in use an impairment expense/onerous lease 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

  • Deferred capital losses can only be recognised to the extent the business can demonstrate recovery. As the Group's strategy is to hold it's investments, the Group's capital losses are not generally carried forward.

  • 6 Includes 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.

Evolving regulatory environment Technology leadership BWRS transformation Agency growth Inorganic growth focus

Recent significant & welcome change in the regulatory environment to ‘professionalise’ the industry. The quantum of change however has diverted significant focus, capacity and resourcing to implement changes and educate and train our brokers

NZbrokers has a dominant market position due to our leading partner proposition. To enhance this, we commenced Project Lola in early FY21 to transform the broking experience via a new platform that enhances sales and policy management, with significant efficiency and income benefits expected in 18-24 months

Performance in BWRS, our largest brokerage, has been below expectations. During FY21 we undertook a restructure of the business, including several leadership changes. The business is now better positioned to capitalise on its scale, capability and reputation, evidenced by a major recent win of a large corporate account from a global broking competitor

We are significantly under-represented in the NZ Agency market. 360 Underwriting will lead our expansion of General Commercial agencies in New Zealand, and recently completed the acquisition of TLC Underwriting as a first step.

A disciplined approach to acquisitions will allow us to fill strategic gaps across product, industry and geographic segments. We have a strong pipeline of opportunities.

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 an investment or asset exceeds the fair value or value in use an impairment expense/onerous lease 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. Deferred capital losses can only be recognised to the extent the business can demonstrate recovery. As the Group's strategy is to hold its investments, the Group's capital losses are not generally carried forward

6. Includes 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
