+
+
1

  • LifeSolutions: a high quality advice based product suite

  • Initial focus on building out distribution network, products and systems; first phase of “J Curve” investment (FY12-FY14)

  • Continued development of the front and back end systems, processes and ongoing product innovation to support growth (FY15+)

  • Capacity to focus on further building out its distribution network in line with its growth strategy

  • LifeSolutions new business growing strongly at 40% in FY14; Life Solutions in-force premium is $45.2m (+115% growth over FY13)

  • Profitable base business acquired with limited legacy issues

  • Recruited a new direct life team and set up call centre and capacity in FY14 to accommodate future growth; second phase of “J Curve” investment (FY14)

  • Build on its success in FY15; upgrade products and invest in technology to support growth

  • Leveraging strategic partner relationships (eg Bupa)

  • Direct life new business growing strongly at 48% in FY14 (run rate of circa $5.4m p.a based on Q4 FY14); In-force premium is $42.3m (of which old book is $36.8m)

  • Broadly net flow neutral in FY14; In-force FUM of $1.66bn (+8%)

  • Now commenced work to build out the wealth product offering (WealthFoundations)

  • Targeted launch of WealthFoundations in 1H FY15; compelling, competitive midmarket product targeted at the pre-retirement market

  • Sales and growth opportunities across our existing distribution network, including the life cross sell potential

  • WealthFoundations and new platform will require a material investment in FY15 (around $3.5m UNPAT negative impact); third phase of “J Curve” investment (FY15+)

  • ClearView is executing on its Walk (Life Advice), Jog (Direct Life), Run (Wealth Management) strategy;

  • Implementing this high growth strategy (effectively across 3 “J Curves”) has required investment in a cost structure prior to the realisation of revenue benefits;

  • ClearView is investing in operating costs above what is required for the current scale (expense overruns) to build capability for the future. These expense overruns depress initial reported profits but should eliminate as scale is achieved, thereby increasing underlying profit margins through the in-force portfolio.

Summary Financials: FY2014 by Segment

==> picture [134 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Y/E 30 June 2014, $m FY14 FY13 **% Change1 ** Comments
Life Insurance Profit 10.8 8.4 29%
Positive claims experience (+$1.1m) relative to the expected claims cost offset by adverse
lapse experience (-$0.9m);

Investment in building out distribution network, products and systems; Expense overruns of
$4.5m depress initial reported profits; these should eliminate as scale is achieved, thereby
increasing underlying profit margins through the in-force portfolio

Increased shared services allocation to life insurance (growth in business) means that
UNPAT growth is lower than it would have been otherwise

Investment earnings higher given capital required to support growth
Wealth Management Profit 5.9 6.6 (11%)
Net increase in FUM levels (+8%) driven by positive investment markets; broadly net flow
neutral

Given that new business is written into WealthSolutions at lower margins than the existing in-
force Master Trust products, fee income increased by only 4%

Increased cost base; investment in distribution, marketing costs and increased shared
services allocation

Investment manager expenses remained flat, platform fees increased in line with the average
WealthSolutions FUM levels and account balances

Reduction of interest income given reallocation of capital to support growth of life
Financial Advice Profit 3.5 0.8 355%
Material reduction in the allocation of shared services overhead (due to growth in other
segments), rationalised branch network (including the associated rental cost savings) and a
restructured service model
Listed Entity and Other (0.5) 0.2 NM
Interest income on shareholder cash and reserves

Reducing interest rates through cycle

expense overruns are expected to be eliminated over time as scale is achieved thereby
increasing underlying profit margins through the in-force portfolios

Non cash item relating to acquired intangibles (predominantly from acquisition of business
from Bupa)

  • WealthSolutions as at 30 June 2014 accounted for $405m or 24% of total FUM (albeit at lower margin than Master Trust FUM)

  • Master Trust FUM gradually running off given that the product is not actively marketed to new members and that there is a large component in the pension phase (fully priced into the Embedded Value)

  • Investment in both a new platform and WealthFoundations will require a material investment in FY15; attractive sales and growth opportunities across our existing distribution network including the cross sell potential

  • The EV with the value of imputation credits at 70% of their present value is also shown; and

  • The EVs have been presented above at different “discount margin” rates over the assumed long term risk free rate reflected within the underlying cash flows valued.

  • “dm” represents the discount rate risk margin, which refers to the margin above the 10 year bond yield. The 10 year bond yield adopted for the FY14 EV is 4% (FY13: 4%)

  • Emerging life insurers invest and incur overhead costs ahead of “getting to scale”: The expense rates assumed in the EV are based on longer term unit costs, as opposed to current “expense overrun” levels

  • As business gets to scale, these costs are progressively supported by business volumes that creates operating leverage

  • Expense overruns depress the growth in EV; these should eliminate as scale is achieved, thereby increasing underlying profit margins through the in-force portfolio and removing the drag on the EV

  • Detailed EV commentary on the movement analysis is provided in the Appendix

The ClearView Proposition: Key investment themes

==> picture [134 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

  • 1  Life (risk) insurance market has been growing at 12% CAGR over the past 10 years[2]

  • Wealth management market has been growing at 8% CAGR[3] (increased Superannuation Guarantee)

  • Growing market   Regulated markets drive rational behavior

  • New life insurance licences are expensive and time consuming to obtain

  • 2  Consolidated market ripe for a challenger such as ClearView

  • Differentiated   Limited number of life insurance/wealth businesses that are not owned by a large bank or institution asset  Investing heavily for growth in targeted, profitable market segments  Limited legacy issues as a result of never having acquired another life insurance/wealth business

  • 3  Senior management team has “done it before” – either as challengers or industry leaders (or both)

  • Team with track  Management and advisers are material owners of shares – >9% of shares

  • record of   Board members represent >65% of shares and have significant experience in the life insurance, wealth

  • success management and other financial services sectors

  • 4  ClearView has transitioned from “building a platform” for growth to delivering growth

  • Developing

  • Key performance metrics showing positive signs, including (FY11-1H14): 113% growth in in-force life

  • Momentum premium, 8% growth in funds under management and an adviser base that has grown 105%

  • 5  Total Embedded Value is $437m[1] (80.2 cents per share) including franking credits and ESP loans which

  • High asset  provide material downside protection to investment backing  In-force portfolios acquired are strong cash flow generators that are partly providing the funding for the growth in the business

  • 6  Implementing a high growth strategy has required investment in a cost structure prior to the realisation of revenue benefits

  • Operating

  • Business is therefore investing ahead of earnings which has been depressing short term profits

  • leverage  Cost overruns should decrease as the business grows, providing it with material operating leverage and -

  • thereby increase the underlying profit margins through the in force portfolios

Summary and Outlook

==> picture [134 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

  • ClearView continues to invest for growth and is making progress in building out its systems and processes to expand on its success to date

  • Positive momentum in key operating metrics across the business in FY14 vs. FY13

  • Life: In-force premium +41%; new business +41%

Business Performance

  • Wealth: FUM +8%; net flows now broadly neutral vs. significant outflow prior to launch of WealthSolutions

  • Financial Advice: adviser numbers +15%; premium advised +30%; FUMA +11%

  • Due to its targeted approach, ClearView has avoided most current industry profitability issues (e.g. Group Life and Income Protection losses)

  • UNPAT +23% but profits remain suppressed given current levels of investment and the existence of expense overruns ($7.7m in FY14), which are expected to reduce over the medium term as scale is achieved

  • Long-term market outlook appears positive :

Market Outlook

  • Life: Total life market has grown 10%[2] p.a. last two years and is forecast to grow 7%-12%[3] over next 10-15 years.

  • Wealth: Retail FUM market has grown 12%[2] p.a. last two years and future growth is expected to be supported by the increasing Superannuation Guarantee

  • ClearView continues to execute on its strategy by:

  • Focusing on profitable market segments and not being “all things to all people”

  • Retaining its appeal to financial advisers with quality products and services

  • Leveraging off the material investment made to date in the direct life business and gaining further traction through strategic partners and lead generation sources

Business Outlook

  • Entering the 3[rd] phase of the investment “J Curve” by investing in a contemporary wealth platform to support the existing portfolio and new mid market wealth product to expand market reach in wealth management (circa $3.5m UNPAT negative impact in FY15)

  • Implementing a high growth strategy has required investment in a cost structure prior to the realisation of revenue benefits. These expense overruns depress initial reported profits but should eliminate as scale is achieved, thereby increasing underlying profit margins through the in-force portfolio

  • ClearView is currently in advanced negotiations with a dealer group that if successful is likely to accelerate the growth opportunity by materially expanding the distribution footprint of ClearView[1]

ClearView remains well positioned for continued growth with a supportive shareholder base

Note 1: ClearView cautions, however, that negotiations are ongoing and ClearView can give no assurances as to whether such a transaction will proceed, and, if so, on what terms. ClearView will immediately inform shareholders if these negotiations develop such that further disclosure is required Note 2: Plan for Life (September 2013) Note 3: DEXX&R (June 2012)

  • Strong growth in life insurance resulting from the emergence of profit off the increased average in-force premium. Key non expense experience items in life insurance (versus planned assumptions):

  • Positive life insurance claims experience in FY14 (+$1.1m); and

  • Adverse life insurance lapse experience in FY14 (-$0.9m).

  • FUM (+8%) has been positively impacted by favourable investment markets with net flows being broadly neutral. Positive impact on fees (+4%) from investment markets and lower than anticipated discontinuance rates partially offset by margin compression.

  • FUMA has also been positively impacted by the recruitment of aligned advisers (+11%).

  • Cost base increase (+18%) from investment in business. Given the growth profile of the business, the cost to income ratio has reduced from 46.5% to 44.6%; Expense overruns of $7.7m excluding deferred acquisition expenses in Life Insurance. Refer to next slide for details.

  • Negative impact from reduced investment earnings given the reduction in interest rates and between periods dividends/capital management initiatives (-$0.7m vs FY13).

  • Other adjustments impacted reported profit as outlined on Slide 28.

System/ Projects – this relates to the investment in the business to further develop the front and back end systems and processes. This investment in systems and processes to support the growth strategy is expected to continue, noting the significant investment in wealth management in FY15.

Direct Life – This relates to the direct life insurance strategy implementation and ramp up costs. ClearView reinvested in the business in FY14 including the recruitment of a new direct team and set up of a call centre in Parramatta. This has led to additional costs (invested in the business ahead of earnings).

Distribution/ Marketing – The distribution/ front end costs in life insurance include the development of a national presence and the related build out of the business development team (BDMs). The initial focus of the life insurance BDMs through the growth phase is on adviser recruitment and broadening out the representation of the LifeSolutions product on APLs, which will change the mix of adviser support over time as further critical mass in new business is achieved. The sales per unit of BDM cost should increase (unit costs reduce) over time but in the initial growth phase BDMs are necessarily recruited ahead of sales. Distribution also includes an initial investment in wealth management to broaden the base of WealthSolutions, with further investment likely following the launch of WealthFoundations in FY15. There has also been an increased investment in marketing to further support the growth of the business.

  • Implementing a high growth strategy (effectively across 3 “J Curves”) has required investment in a cost structure prior to the realisation of revenue benefits;

  • ClearView is investing in operating costs above what is required for the current scale (expense overruns of $7.7m in FY14) to build capability for the future. These expense overruns depress initial reported profits but should eliminate as scale is achieved, thereby increasing underlying profit margins through the in-force portfolio.

Financial Advice – restructure of the financial advice business by rationalising the branch network and reorganising the service model. This had led to a reduction in the cost base of the financial advice business notwithstanding the further investment made to support a broader base of advisers across the dealer group.

Back End/ Other - The back end relates to increases in the functional areas to support the growth in the front end of the business. These include administration, call centre and dealer group support costs. Other business support costs should reduce “per customer” as the scale of the business increases. This includes the “spreading” of the costs of the shared services functions as the business grows.

  • The policy liability discount rate effect is the result of the changes in long term discount rates used to determine the insurance policy liabilities. The life insurance policy liability (based on AIFRS) is discounted using market discount rates that typically vary at each reporting date and create volatility in the policy liabilities and consequently earnings. ClearView separately reports this volatility which represents a timing difference in the release of profit and has no impact on underlying earnings. This movement in policy liability creates a cash flow tax effect. The decrease in long term discount rates over the last 12 months caused a positive profit impact.

  • Takeover bid related costs incurred in FY13 related to the 2012 CCP Bidco takeover bid, including adviser fees, legal fees, retention bonuses and ESP expenses associated with the accelerated vesting of shares (as a result in the change of control).

  • Restructure costs in FY13 relate to costs incurred in regional office closures and lease termination costs, legal fees and other restructure related costs in the financial advice business.

  • Income tax effects includes the tax effect of the adjustments where applicable (assessable or deductible for tax purposes).

  • Growth of LifeSolutions has been strong, with risk premium growing at 40% over the past 12 months. LifeSolutions in-force premium is $45.2m as at 30 June 2014 (+115%), representing 52% of the total life insurance in-force book.

  • Investment in the direct life business has shown signs of early success and momentum through the financial year with life sales increasing by 48% over FY13 (annualised run rate of circa $5.4m p.a). New direct in-force book was $5.6m; old book in-force premium of $36.8m.

  • Experience analysis in FY14 (refer to next slide)

  • Commission expense variable cost driven by increased volume of life insurance new business activity. Other external includes variable component related to stamp duty and medicals necessary to underwrite a policy.

  • An increase in operating expenses relates to:

  • Distribution costs including the development of a national presence;

  • Investment to further develop the systems and processes necessary to support growth;

  • Investment in direct life as outlined previously in the presentation; and

  • An increased shared services cost allocation into life as the business grows.

  • All life insurance acquisition related costs are deferred within the policy liabilities in accordance with the accounting standards.

  • An increase in interest income was realised given the reallocation of shareholder cash to the life insurance segment (to support the growth in the business and its related capital requirements).

Life Insurance – FY2014 Analysis of Profit

==> picture [134 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

$M, YEAR END JUNE 2014 2014
ACTUAL
Actuarial planned profit after tax 15.1
Claims experience 1.1
Lapse experience (0.9)
Expense experience (4.5)
Other 0.1
Underlying NPAT 10.8
  • Actuarial planned profit after tax reflects the expected profit margins based on actuarial assumptions ($15.1m in FY14). Expense overruns were $4.5m (relative to planned margins) - Refer to commentary below.

  • Favourable claims experience profit (after tax) of $1.1m compared to an adverse experience variation in FY13 of $1.9m (relative to planned margins). Given the current size of the life insurance portfolio and reinsurance arrangements in place (arrangements vary by product) some statistical claims volatility can be expected. Claims experience is anticipated to average out over time at the actuarial best estimate assumptions. As the in-force of LifeSolutions grows, with higher reinsurance arrangements in place, the relative claims volatility will reduce from period to period.

  • Adverse lapse experience relative to the rates assumed in the life insurance policy liability (determined at 30 June 2013) with an experience loss of $0.9m (after tax) in FY14 (relative to planned margins) ($0.8m loss in FY13). The adverse lapse experience predominantly offset the favourable claims experience. The adverse lapse experience was partly driven by lapse losses incurred on new direct business written via certain channels over the last two years, which have now been closed to new business (some continuing adverse experience on the in-force business from these channels was expected in FY14). The business written pre 2011 has displayed adverse lapse experience over recent periods. The new LifeSolutions business has displayed favourable lapses to date which has partially offset the negative experience by the other channels.

  • Market competitive premium rates implicitly support market average participant (scale) expense rates. Expense margins available are therefore proportional to new business premium written and in-force premium revenues. Emerging life insurers invest and incur overhead costs ahead of “getting to scale”. As the business gets to scale, these costs are progressively supported by business volumes that create operating leverage. Expense overruns depress initial reported profits; these should eliminate as scale is achieved, thereby increasing underlying profit margins through the in-force portfolio. Given the investment phase of the business, this resulted in a maintenance expense experience loss of $4.5m for the year.

  • Net increase in FUM levels (+8%) driven by the positive performance of investment markets.

  • New business is written into WealthSolutions at lower margins than the in-force Master Trust products; fee income increased by 4% given margin compression (run off of Master Trust business is assumed in the EV calculations).

  • Internal advice fee represents inter segment advice fee (50bps) paid to financial advice on Master Trust FUM; reduction in line with average FUM.

  • Platform fees increased in line with the average WealthSolutions FUM levels and average account balances (outsourced variable cost structure).

  • Funds management expenses remained broadly in line (even though FUM +8%).

  • Increased cost base (+17%) due to investment in wealth distribution and marketing, coupled with increase in allocation of shared service costs.

  • Expense overruns of $2.2m driven by shared service infrastructure costs; WealthSolutions continues to build to scale coupled with the anticipated launch of WealthFoundations in FY15 that should over time absorb the shared infrastructure.

  • Reduction of investment earnings given shift in capital to support growth of life insurance.

  • Number of aligned advisers has increased by 15% over FY14; Fee income (+15%) and advice fee expenses driven by recruitment of aligned advisers into dealer group (limited impact on margin due to adviser split arrangements).

  • Advice fee expense also impacted given mix of business and shift of certain employed planners to franchised model (benefit on operating expense line).

  • $4.1bn of FUMA and $94m of PUA; $1.7bn in WealthSolutions and Master Trust; $29m of life premium in LifeSolutions.

  • Growth in FUMA levels also positively impacted by the strong performance of investment markets.

  • Dealer group model was restructured with a rationalised branch footprint and a restructured service model resulting in a reduction in costs.

  • Material reduction in allocation of shared service overhead given growth in other segments.

  • Reduction in other income due to raising of PI claims recoveries in prior period.

  • Segment represents the interest income on the cash equivalents held in the listed and central services entities and in the shareholders fund of ClearView Life Assurance Limited, the Group’s life insurance subsidiary, less the costs associated with maintaining a listed entity.

  • The Company manages capital at the listed entity level in accordance with its ICAAP.

  • The reduction in the UNPAT is predominantly driven by the reduced interest income from the payment of dividends in the first half of FY13 and the investment of capital in ClearView Life (reflective of the growth profile of this business), combined with reducing market interest rates over FY13.

  • Successful capital raising of $44.9m in March 2014 resulting in positive impact on interest income in Q4 FY14.

  • Operating costs increased partly due to change in composition of Board structure post takeover.

  • Takeover costs relate to the after tax costs associated with the 2012 takeover bid.

Reason for Movement
Completion of the successful capital raising in March 2014 (+$45.4m), less share issues costs incurred (-$0.5m net of tax);
The net impact of the FY13 final dividend, DRP and related repayment of ESP loans by participants given their ineligibility to participate in
the DRP (+$0.4m) and shares bought back in the market through the on-market buyback program (-$0.4m)
Expected gain represents the unwind of the discount rate within the value of in-force and investment earnings on net worth
The value added by new business written over the period. The current value of new business is suppressed by the start up and growth
costs incurred. The acquisition cost overruns should decrease as the business grows, providing it with operating leverage. The financial
advice business had a negative value of new business of $1.4m that was a drag on the VNB. This is as a result of the acquisition expenses
incurred relative to new business generation but is offset by the positive maintenance expense impact outlined below
The claims experience across all product lines was favourable in FY14. Given the current small size of the insurance portfolio, some claims
volatility from period to period is to be expected
The life insurance lapses impact (-$1.6m) was driven by lapse rates for the old book being higher than expected (noting lapse rates for the
more recent LifeSolutions business have been better than expected and the tail of the run off of the terminated direct life distribution
relationships). This was predominantly offset by the positive impact from lower discontinuance rates for the wealth management and
financial advice businesses (+$1.5m)
This relates to the maintenance expense overruns versus the long term unit costs assumed in the EV. Emerging life insurers and wealth
managers invest and incur overhead costs ahead of “getting to scale”. The expenses rates assumed in the EV are based on longer term
unit costs, as opposed to current “expense overrun” levels. As business gets to scale, these costs are progressively supported by business
volumes that creates operating leverage. Expense overruns depress the EV initially; these are likely to be eliminated as scale is achieved,
thereby increasing underlying profit margins through the in-force portfolio and removing the drag on the EV. The financial advice business
had a positive maintenance expense variance of $2.7m that reduced the overruns in the life insurance (-$4.4m) and wealth management
(-$2.0m) businesses. This is as a result of the restructured service model and rationalisation of the branch network and offsets the negative
impact on the value of new business as outlined above
Expenses were impacted by the Group’s listed overhead costs which are not allowed for in the Embedded Value (-$0.8m)
The net investment performance on the funds under management and advice over the period resulted in higher fee income relative to
expectations over the period and a higher present value of future fees at the end of the period
This includes the net effect of capital reallocations by segment, model enhancements, timing effects, actuarial assumption changes, capital
base changes and the non-cash ESP expenses. The lapse rate assumptions were amended to reflect current experience. A modest
improvement in the lapse rate assumption for LifeSolutions was adopted offset by a material strengthened lapse rate assumption on the old
book,the net one-off impact of which reduced the EV by $7.6m

  • Surplus Capital represents surplus capital above internal benchmarks (IB). IB (Risk and Working Capital) exceeds the regulatory requirements.

  • Adjustments are made to the Capital Base for various asset amounts which are deducted, for example deferred acquisition costs (DAC), intangibles, goodwill and deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities).

  • ClearView capital is currently rated Common Equity Tier 1 capital in accordance with the APRA capital standards.

  • Internal Benchmarks include capital held for the protection of ClearView’s regulatory capital position in respect of risk outcomes where the regulatory capital cannot be readily accessed and to protect the various entities’ regulatory licences. It includes a working capital reserve of $46m as at 30 June 2014 to fund anticipated new business growth over the medium term.

  • The EV effectively involves incurring a “cost” for the capital held to support the in-force business. This is the capital that is included in the Value of in-force (VIF).

  • The net worth is the net tangible assets not allocated to the capital reserves supporting the in-force business. Such assets are valued at face value as per the Balance Sheet.

  • ClearView adopts an economic capital model that is allowed for in the EV to support the risk profile of the business.

  • For all segments the regulatory capital base plus the relevant part of the internal benchmarks related to the in-force portfolio is adopted as the economic capital base in the VIF calculation. This excludes capital held for new business (acquisition related) and any regulatory amounts that would not be required on a transfer of the business to an acquirer, which is valued at face value as part of the net worth calculation.
