Overview 2013
- 2013 was a difficult year for the first time MLP experienced simultaneous, market-related decreases in two core business fields
- New all-time highs in wealth management and in loans and mortgages as well as growth in non-life insurance
- Despite the even greater market burdens, MLP generates substantial profits – strategic further development pays off
- Further slight decrease in administration costs through strict efficiency management – despite additional investments
- Executive Board proposes a dividend of 16 cents per share pay-out ratio: 68 percent
Total revenue: € 501.1 million in 2013
Continuation of very positive development in wealth management

Diverse regulatory activities – MLP is well prepared
| Basel III / Capital Requirements Directive IV |
• EU directive and regulations in force since July 2013. New regulations concerning appropriate capitalisation apply from January 2014. • Continuous strengthening of MLP's capital base in order to ensure maintenance of the currently comfortable equity capital situation. |
|---|---|
| Act on Promoting and Regulating fee-based Advice on Financial Instruments ("Honoraranlageberatungsgesetzt") |
• The German government has decided to introduce an occupational profile for fee-based consultants in wealth management (introduction in July 2014) and is currently drawing up legislation prior to the implementation of the EU directive MiFiD II. • MLP clients are fully credited with kickbacks that MLP receives from investment companies for the brokerage of investment assets (flat fee) – MLP thus already fulfils the main requirement for registration as a fee-based advisor. Further details (such as the handling of existing business) will be clarified in the pending directive. |
| MiFiD II | • Decided upon at EU level in trialogue. The directive requires that "independent advisory services" in the wealth management area a) have access to a sufficient number of products available in the market AND b) do not take in any commissions from Third Parties. à Expected transposition into national law: 2017 – already largely covered by the Act on Promoting and Regulating fee-based Advice on Financial Instruments in Germany. |
| IMD II | • IMD II constitutes a revision of an EU level directive for the insurance area which pursues analogous aims to MiFiD II. • No agreement has yet been reached with respect to the actual composition of this directive. No final decisions are expected to be taken until after the European elections. à Expected transposition into national law: 2017 at the earliest. |

Outlook
| Environment | Assumptions | EBIT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper Scenario |
Significant improvement in the market environment |
• Hesitancy towards capital market-related provision products largely disappears • Health insurance develops very positively throughout the market • New areas of potential through real estate brokerage • Disappearance of the negative unisex effect from 2013 |
~ € 75 m |
| Base Scenario |
Initial improvement in the framework conditions |
• Opportunities for products with minor capital market component (long-term care pension, occupational disability, occupational provision) • Slight improvement for capital market-related provision products – especially through new guarantee concepts • Reduction of uncertainties in health insurance • New areas of potential through real estate brokerage • Disappearance of the negative unisex effect from 2013 |
~ € 65 m |
| Lower Scenario |
Continued hesitancy on the part of clients |
• Critical public debate, such as a reduction of the guaranteed interest rate for life insurance and pension insurance policies, leads to similar hesitancy as witnessed in 2013 • Reduction of uncertainties in health insurance • New areas of potential through real estate brokerage • Disappearance of the negative unisex effect from 2013 |
~ € 50 m |
Administration costs 2014: ~ € 255 million
-
- Difficult financial year 2013 shows the importance of the initiated further development of the company and of the cost management programme implemented during the past few years.
-
- MLP will vigorously push ahead with the transformation. All growth initiatives are aimed at making MLP more independent of short-term developments.
-
- Outlook for 2014 is cautiously optimistic, despite the continuance of major challenges.
