The FY18 results reflect:

  1. Higher sales (gross written premium (GWP)):

  2. a) GWP increased 24.7% compared with the previous corresponding period and includes business written as part of the Company’s new product offerings (including business written by Genworth’s Bermudan insurance entity, excess of loss insurance and its new ‘micro markets LMI’ offering). In relation to the Bermudan transaction Genworth has retained $170.2 million of risk and placed the remainder with a consortium of global reinsurers through its Bermudan entity. Net of the premium to the consortium of global reinsurers, Genworth’s GWP increased 8.4% in FY18 due to this transaction. For reporting purposes this risk is not reflected in NIW.

  3. b) In the traditional LMI business, GWP attributable to bulk portfolio transactions was down 15.9% (FY18: $6.9 million versus FY17: $8.2 million). GWP resulting from flow LMI was slightly up (FY18:

1 Underlying NPAT excludes the after-tax impact of mark-to-market gains/(losses) on the investment portfolio, and the impact of unhedged movements in foreign exchange rates on Genworth’s non-AUD exposures. The bulk of these foreign exchange exposures are fully hedged.

2 Excludes excess of loss insurance.

1. Executive summary

$362.6 million versus FY17: $360.6 million). This was achieved despite FY17 including flow business written under a contract with Genworth’s then second largest customer.

  1. Lower revenue (net earned premium (NEP)):

  2. a) NEP decreased 24.1% in FY18. This is in line with the Company’s guidance and reflects the full year impact of the 2017 Earnings Curve Review versus a three month impact in 4Q17 (FY18: $108.9 million and FY17: $37.3 million). Excluding this impact NEP declined 4.3%.

  3. b) Also of note this year was the release of $8.2 million of unearned premium following implementation of a new lapsed policy initiative in 2Q18 (Lapsed Policy Initiative). This initiative enabled the Company to utilise newly available data to more promptly identify loans that have been refinanced or discharged.

  4. Net claims incurred:

  5. a) Net claims incurred were $145.9 million in FY18 (FY17: $141.8 million). In FY17, the Company reviewed its non-reinsurance recoveries on paid claims. This review resulted in an improvement in the recovery process with a favourable impact of $9.1 million in FY17 ($1.4 million in FY18). Excluding these favourable non-reinsurance recoveries Net Claims Incurred decreased in FY18.

  6. b) The insurance margin decreased to 28.3% compared to 40.0% for FY17 mainly driven by lower NEP reflecting the adverse impact of the 2017 Earnings Curve Review.

1. Executive summary

1.3 Economic and regulatory environment

1.3.1 Economic environment

The Australian economy remained on a stable trajectory throughout 2018. The economic growth experienced during the year benefitted the labour market with strong employment levels (particularly in full time jobs) and a reduction in underemployment from historic, elevated levels. Despite the solid economic performance, uncertainty remained within the household sector due to weak wage growth, high debt levels and lower growth in household wealth.

The economic outlook for 2019 remains positive. Continued investment in infrastructure and non-mining sectors combined with anticipated increases in gas production and exports are expected to support ongoing growth. This should promote continued employment growth in 2019, albeit at a slightly slower pace than 2018, resulting in a modest increase in wages and benign inflation growth. Within this environment, the official cash rate is likely to remain on hold throughout 2019 but lending institutions are expected to continue implementing “out-of-cycle” interest rate increases due to higher funding costs.

Housing market moderation continued in 4Q18, closing out 2018 with 14 consecutive months of abating house prices. The downward pressure on national dwelling values was largely confined to Sydney and Melbourne with Perth continuing to experience challenging market conditions following the end of the mining boom. Genworth expects the moderating trend in housing market conditions to continue for most of 2019, reflecting pressure on lending due to tightened credit conditions, weak wage growth and increased levels of new housing supply. Metropolitan housing markets in Sydney and Melbourne are predicted to lead the trend, whilst the rate of decline in regions linked to the mining resource industry in Queensland and Western Australia is expected to stabilise.

1.3.2 Regulatory environment

Genworth continues to work with a range of policymakers, rating agencies and other industry participants to advocate for policy solutions that facilitate home ownership and continued responsible credit growth.

During 2018 the major areas of focus from a regulatory and policy perspective were:

  1. APRA’s discussion paper on banking capital changes, in particular, the mortgage risk weights applied by APRA on lenders when they write high loan to value ratio (HLVR) loans. A discussion paper was released by APRA in February 2018 and comments provided to APRA in mid May 2018. It is anticipated that APRA will release its response in the first half of 2019.

  2. The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry. The Commission’s Final Report and Recommendations was delivered on 4February 2019.

  3. The Productivity Commission’s inquiry into competition in the Australian financial system, which delivered its final report to the Government on 29 June 2018. The Government tabled the Report in Parliament but has not given a timeframe on when it will release its response.

Genworth continues to be active in industry efforts to educate policymakers about the importance of LMI to the Australian mortgage market and the wider financial system including its role as a loss absorption and capital management tool for risk management purposes in the HLVR lending space.

1.4 Customer relationships

Genworth has commercial relationships with over 100 lender customers across Australia. The top three customers, excluding excess of loss agreements, accounted for approximately 72.9% of GWP in FY18[4]

4 Excludes excess of loss insurance.

8

Genworth Mortgage Insurance Australia Limited Full year 31 December 2018: Investor report

1. Executive summary

(FY17: 72.7%). The Group estimates that it had approximately 30% of the Australian HLVR LMI market by NIW[5] for the period ended 31 December 2018.

During 2018, Genworth has maintained its partnerships with key customers and continues to work with them to provide a broader suite of risk and capital management solutions. The Company has been successful in providing these customers with new offerings that assist them in managing mortgage default risk. Genworth continues to pursue other profitable opportunities in the market that meet its risk appetite and return on equity profile.

1.5 Ratings

The controlled entities maintain their capital strength by reference to a target financial strength rating from an independent ratings agency. The ratings help to reflect the financial strength of these entities and demonstrate to stakeholders their ability to pay claims.

Standard & Poor’s

On 25 May 2018, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services reaffirmed Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited’s financial strength rating at ‘A+’ and outlook as ‘negative’.

Fitch Ratings

On 11 October 2018, Fitch reaffirmed Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty’s financial strength rating at ‘A+’ and outlook ‘stable’.

2.2 Management discussion and analysis

2.2.1 New insurance written (NIW)

NIW decreased 7.1% to $22.2 billion in FY18 from $23.9 billion in FY17. NIW in the 0% to 80.0% LVR segment decreased 43.9%, in the 80.01 to 90.0% LVR segment increased 5.7% and above 90.01% segments is broadly unchanged. The decline in NIW in the 0% to 80% LVR segment in FY18 compared to FY17 is largely attributable to the fact that FY17 included business written pursuant to an agreement with the Company’s then second largest customer. This agreement terminated in April 2017 and represented $2.5 billion of NIW in FY17.

NIW in FY18 included $2.3 billion of bulk portfolio business (FY17: $2.9 billion). NIW excludes the Company’s excess of loss reinsurance and the new business written via Genworth’s Bermudan entity.

2.2.2 Gross written premium

GWP increased 24.7% compared with FY17. This includes business written as part of the Company’s new product offerings (including business written by Genworth’s Bermudan entity, excess of loss reinsurance and ‘micro markets LMI’). In relation to the Bermudan transaction Genworth has retained $170.2 million of risk and placed the remainder with a consortium of global reinsurers. Net of the premium to the consortium of global reinsurers, Genworth’s GWP increased 8.4% in FY18, largely due to this transaction. For reporting purposes this risk is not reflected in NIW.

Average price for flow (GWP/NIW) increased from 1.73% in FY17 to 1.81% in FY18.

The average original LVR of new flow business written in FY18 was 86.1% (FY17: 84.3%).

2.2.3 Gross earned premium (GEP)

GEP decreased 18.7% from $438.2 million in FY17 to $356.3 million in FY18 mainly reflecting the adverse impact of the 2017 Earnings Curve Review (FY18: $108.9 million and FY17: $37.3 million). The 2017 Earnings Curve Review took effect from 1 October 2017 and has the effect of lengthening the time period over which premium is earned. It does not affect the quantum of revenue that will be earned over time.

2.2.4 Outward reinsurance expense

Outward reinsurance expense increased by $7.4 million from $67.7 million in FY17 to $75.1 million in FY18 driven mainly by Genworth’s Bermudan entity transaction pursuant to which ceded reinsurance expense was partially offset by the decreased consortium reinsurance coverage on the traditional LMI business.

2.2.5 Net claims incurred and changes to reserves

Net claims incurred increased $4.1 million to $145.9 million in FY18. In FY17, the Company reviewed its nonreinsurance recoveries on paid claims. The result of this review was an improvement in the recovery process with a favourable impact of $9.1 million in FY17 and $1.4 million in FY18. Excluding these favourable nonreinsurance recoveries net claims incurred decreased in FY18.

11 Volume includes excess of loss insurance and bulk transactions.

The average reserve per delinquency decreased from $50,700 in FY17 to $47,500 in FY18 primarily driven by a reduction in the proportion of delinquencies in mining areas, particularly in Queensland.

New delinquencies were down for the year with mining regions showing signs of improvement. In non-mining regions, the softening in cures experienced in 1H18 continued in 2H18 with the traditional seasonal uplift in the second half of the year being more subdued than prior years.

2.2.6 Acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses

Acquisition costs decreased $9.3 million from $49.9 million in FY17 to $40.6 million in FY18.

Other underwriting expenses of $53.8 million decreased 8.0% in FY18. This was mainly driven by expenses such as salaries and wages which were capitalised because they directly relate to the development phase of various strategic initiatives including technology projects.

The total expense ratio increased from 29.3% in FY17 to 33.6% in FY18, reflecting the lower NEP.

12 Totals may not sum due to rounding.

2.2.7 Financial income

Financial income of $77.9 million in FY18 included a pre-tax realised gain of $17.4 million[15] ($12.2 million after tax) versus a pre-tax realised gain of $36.4 million ($25.5 million after tax) in FY17.

The FY18 Investment Income also included a mark-to-market loss of $26.1 million ($18.3 million after-tax).

After adjusting for realised and unrealised gains and losses, the FY18 investment return was 2.60% per annum, (FY17: 2.82% per annum) reflecting the fact that returns are being pressured by the low interest environment.

As at 31 December 2018, the value of Genworth’s investment portfolio was $3.2 billion, more than 82% of which continues to be held in cash and highly rated fixed interest securities. As at year end the Company had $122.8 million invested in Australian equities and diversified its assets with $535.0 million invested in non-AUD income securities[16] . The non-AUD investment was held in collateralised loan obligations denominated in USD and investment grade credits denominated in USD and EURO. The foreign exchange (FX) exposures of the nonAUD investments are fully hedged through FX forward contracts.

2.2.8 Income tax expense

Income tax expense decreased $31.9 million (50.6%) from $63.0 million in FY17[17] to $31.1 million in FY18. The effective tax rate decreased from 29.7% in FY17 to 29.1% in FY18.

2.2.9 Net profit after tax

Reported NPAT fell 49.3% to $75.7 million in FY18. The decline was largely driven by the adverse impact of the 2017 Earnings Curve Review ($108.9 million impact pre-tax, $76.2 million after-tax in FY18). Underlying NPAT of $93.9 million in FY18 (FY17: $171.1 million) includes after-tax realised gain of $12.2 million (FY17: after-tax realised gain of $25.5 million). Excluding the 2017 Earnings Curve Review impact and realised gains on the investment portfolio Underlying NPAT was down 8.0%.

15 Excludes foreign exchange gains / losses. This amount has been excluded from Underlying NPAT. 16 Includes cash to be invested.

2.3 Analysis of underwriting performance

The underwriting performance in FY18 reflects the following key factors:

  • a) NEP decreased 24.1% due to adverse impact of the 2017 Earnings Curve Review (FY18: $108.9 million and FY17: $37.3 million). Excluding this impact NEP declined 4.3%.

  • b) GWP increased 24.7% and included business written as part of the Company’s new product offerings (such as business written by Genworth’s Bermudan insurance entity, excess of loss reinsurance and ‘micro markets LMI’). In relation to the Bermudan transaction Genworth has retained $170.2 million of risk and placed the remainder with a consortium of reinsurers. Net of the premium to the consortium of global reinsurers Genworth’s GWP increased 8.4% in FY18.

  • c) The loss ratio for FY18 was 51.9% compared to 38.3% in FY17. This reflected lower NEP resulting from the 2017 Earnings Curve Review. Excluding the impact of the 2017 Earnings Curve Review, non-reinsurance recoveries on paid claims and the Lapsed Policy Initiative, the adjusted loss ratio was 38.6% in FY18 and comparable to FY17 (37.0%).

  • d) The expense ratio increased from 29.3% in FY17 to 33.6% in FY18 reflecting lower NEP.

  • e) The insurance margin decreased to 28.3% compared with 40.0% for FY17 driven by lower NEP.

3.1.2 Effective LVR

The table below shows the effective LVR of the portfolio as at 31 December 2018. Genworth calculates the estimated house price-adjusted effective LVR, using the CoreLogic Home Price Index that provides detail of house price movements across different geographic regions, and assumes 30-year principal and interest amortising loans, with the mortgage rate remaining unchanged through the period. Effective LVR is not adjusted for prepayments, redraws or non-amortising residential mortgage loans insured.

3.2 Delinquency rate by book year

The figure below shows the evolution of Genworth’s three month+ delinquencies (flow only) by residential mortgage loan book year from the point of policy issuance.

Figure 9[20] : Delinquency development by book year

==> picture [481 x 262] intentionally omitted <==

Overall portfolio vintage delinquency performance remains relatively stable quarter on quarter, in-line with seasonal expectations.

Across the 2013-14 vintages, there are increasing indicators of stabilisation in 2H18 which have been primarily affected by the downturn in mining regions resulting in ongoing economic and housing market challenges.

Historical performance of the 2008 book year was affected by the economic downturn experienced across Australia and heightened stress experienced among self-employed borrowers, particularly in Queensland, exacerbated by the 2011 floods.

Post-GFC book years seasoning at lower levels as a result of credit tightening.

20 Excludes excess of loss insurance and bulk. Delinquency rate is calculated as delinquencies divided by policies written which is gross of cancelled policies.

Figure 10: Delinquency population by months in arrears bucket[21, 22]

The below chart illustrates the delinquency population by months in arrears (MIA) aged bucket at the end of each reporting period. Over the past two years the cure rate has fallen primarily from changes in lenders hardship policies. In non-mining regions, the softening in cures experienced in 1H18 continued in 2H18 with the traditional seasonal uplift in the second half of the year being more subdued than prior years.

4.2 Total assets

Total assets of the Group as at 31 December 2018 of $3,590.1 million, decreased $175.8 million from 31 December 2017. The movement includes:

  • $102.1 million decrease in deferred reinsurance expense from the renewal of the treaties. The new treaties provide one-year cover compared to three years previously. Also, two remote layers of reinsurance cover have not been renewed.

  • $167.0 million decrease in cash and investments to fund the share buy-back and the payment of the FY17 final and FY18 interim dividends.

  • offset by an increase of $68.0 million in trade and other receivables primarily due to new excess of loss insurance business written in FY18.

4.2.1 Investment strategy

As at 31 December 2018, the Group had a cash and investments portfolio of $3,224.4 million. More than 82% is held in cash and highly rated fixed interest securities.

The primary investment objective is to manage the portfolio of securities to help achieve return and income targets, whilst minimising volatility of total returns and providing liquidity to pay claims. This asset allocation and asset management strategy represents the previous long-standing approach taken by the Group to investment management.

As at 31 December 2018, Genworth had $122.8 million invested in Australian equities and diversified its assets by investing $535.0 million in non-AUD income securities[25] .

4.2.2 Group investment assets and cash

The Group’s investments and cash totalled $3,224.4 million as at 31 December 2018 with $1,238.9 million allocated to technical funds to support premium liabilities and outstanding claims reserves. The average maturity is estimated to be 3.6 years.

The decline in the investment return reflects the fact that returns are being pressured by the low interest environment . Fixed interest securities purchased at higher yields have gradually matured with the funds reinvested predominantly in shorter duration assets at lower yields.

A summary of investment income and returns (excluding realised and unrealised gains and losses) generated from the investment portfolio is set out in the following table.

The total liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2018 of $1,852.8 million, up from $1,843.7 million at 31 December 2017. Notable movements contributing to the $9.1 million increase over the period include:

  • Decrease in reinsurance payable from $160.0 million as at 31 December 2017 to $42.2 million as at 31 December 2018. This is primarily the result of the renewal of the reinsurance programme. The new treaties provide one-year cover compared to three years previously. Also, two remote layers of reinsurance cover have not been renewed. The decision not to renew these two layers was based on the lack of internal capital credit recognition and reducing probable maximum loss.

  • Increase in unearned premiums of $105.6 million reflects the impact of the 2017 Earnings Curve Review ($108.9 million in FY18), new excess of loss insurance business written and the Company’s new ‘micro markets LMI’.

26 Investment return excludes realised and unrealised gains and losses on the investment portfolio.

The following tables present a measure of Underlying equity that is used for calculating the Underlying ROE.

Underlying Equity, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, is calculated by adjusting total equity to exclude any after-tax impacts of unrealised gains or losses on securities held in the Group’s investment portfolio and impacts (net of hedge) from exposure to foreign currencies.

5.1 Regulatory capital position

The capital management strategy of the Group is to optimise shareholder value by managing the level, mix and use of capital resources. The primary objective is to ensure there are sufficient capital resources to maintain and grow the business, in accordance with risk appetite. The Group’s internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) provides the framework to ensure that the Group as a whole, and each regulated entity, are independently capitalised to meet internal and external requirements.

The Group’s capital position was strong as at 31 December 2018 with a regulatory capital solvency level of 1.94 times the prescribed capital amount (PCA) on a Level 2 basis and a CET1 ratio of 1.74 times PCA.

The regulatory solvency position is above the Board’s targeted range of 1.32–1.44 times the PCA and above the regulatory CET1 requirement of 0.60 times PCA.

The decrease in CET1 capital in FY18 mainly reflects the $110.6 million of dividends paid in FY18 and the $149.1 million share buy-back offset by $44.0 million increase in the excess technical provisions (after tax) and $75.7 million reported NPAT.

Figure 15[31] : Genworth Australia’s capital resources progression as at 31 December 2018 (A$ billion)

==> picture [488 x 207] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 15 shows the mix of the three key components of the capital resources, including common equity (Tier 1 capital), other qualifying capital instruments (Tier 2 capital) and APRA allowable reinsurance. Since 2010, Genworth has implemented a strategy that has:

  • Broadened its range of reinsurers in order to reduce concentration risk.

  • Transitioned from affiliate reinsurance arrangements, the last of which was cancelled effective 1 January 2014.

  • Introduced qualifying subordinated debt, or Tier 2 capital, in 2011.

31 Historical capital base has been adjusted due to rounding. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

5.2 Reinsurance

Figure 16: Reinsurance program 31 December 2018

==> picture [299 x 305] intentionally omitted <==

As at 31 December 2018, the Group had $800 million of excess of loss cover with varying durations depending on the layer. A diversified panel is in place with over 20 different reinsurers participating across the program with a minimum rating of ‘A-‘.

The Group decided not to renew a $100 million remote layer of reinsurance on 1 April 2018 due to a lack of internal economic capital credit recognition and reducing probable maximum loss. Despite this reduction, the new program structure has led to an increase in internal economic capital credit, an overall reduction in both lifetime and first year premiums and a lower cost of capital.

5.3 Dividends

The Board has determined a medium-term ordinary dividend payout ratio of 50-80% of Underlying NPAT.

Total dividends of 21.0 cents per share fully franked (17.0cps total ordinary dividend and 4.0 cps special dividend) were declared during FY18.

  1. Net premium written is calculated as gross written premium, less refunds and reinsurance. This metric differs to what is disclosed in 4Q18 GFI Financial Supplement ("GFI FS") under International MI Segment Australia as a reinsurance credit related to affiliate reinsurance arrangements for historical periods are eliminated under the US segment results.

  2. The ratio of net claims incurred expense to net earned premiums. This metric differs to what is disclosed in 4Q18 GFI FS under International MI segment Australia as outlined in 1) above. In addition, under AIFRS measurement, a risk margin is added to the outstanding claims provision and the non-reinsurance recoveries are grossed up and held as a separate asset on the balance sheet.

  3. The ratio of an insurer's general expenses to net earned premiums. In the business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, exchange commission and amortisation of DAC and intangibles. This metric differs to what is disclosed in 4Q18 GFI FS under International MI segment Australia as outlined in point 1 and there is a portion of certain corporate overhead expenses allocated by GFI to Australian business for management reporting purpose, which are not included in Genworth consolidated results.

  4. The ratio of an insurer's general expenses to net premiums written. This metric differs to what is disclosed in 4Q18 GFI FS under International MI segment Australia as outlined in point 3.

33 Movement in borrower recovery receivable on paid claims is excluded from average paid claim calculation.

34 This metric differs to what is disclosed in 2Q 2018 GFI FS USGAAP results under International MI segment Australia as a risk margin is added to the outstanding claim provision under AIFRS measurement and the non-reinsurance recoveries are grossed up and held as a separate asset on the balance sheet. This number also differs to that disclosed in the Prospectus. See the Glossary for more information. 35 Excludes excess of loss insurance.

  1. Loan amount in LVR calculation includes capitalised premiums, where applicable.

  2. RIF excludes excess of loss.

  3. The majority of the loans the Group insures provide 100% coverage. For representing the risk in-force, the Company has computed an “effective risk in-force” amount that recognises that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in-force has been calculated by applying to insurance in-force a factor that represents the highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of the businesses. This factor was 35% for all periods presented. The Group has certain risk share arrangements where it provides pro-rata coverage of certain loans rather than 100% coverage. As a result, for loans with these risk share arrangements, the applicable pro-rata coverage amount provided is used when applying the factor.
