Basis of Preparation
Suncorp Group Limited („Suncorp Group‟, „Suncorp‟ or „the Group‟) is the holding company for SuncorpMetway Ltd, the Group‟s other subsidiaries and its interests in associates and jointly controlled entities.
Prior to 7 January 2011, Suncorp-Metway Ltd was the ultimate holding company of the Suncorp Group. On 7 January 2011, Suncorp-Metway Ltd completed a restructure under a court-approved scheme of arrangement, which resulted in Suncorp Group Limited becoming the new parent entity of the Suncorp Group, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. On this date, Suncorp-Metway Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of Suncorp Group Limited. This restructure has no impact on the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2011.
The results have been determined in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. All figures have been quoted in Australian dollars unless otherwise denoted and have been rounded to the nearest million.
All figures relate to the year ended 30 June 2011 and comparatives are for the year ended 30 June 2010 unless otherwise stated.
The Core and Non-core Bank results are presented separately in this report, with the consolidated result available in Appendix 8. The Core and Non-core banking tables represent an indicative view of relative performance. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the tables are as accurate as possible, necessary assumptions around the allocation of funding and expenses have been made.

Group
Review of Consolidated Operations
Having successfully stabilised the business in the 2010 financial year, the Suncorp Group outlined a plan to significantly strengthen its business by completing five key projects, known as the Group‟s building blocks. These projects were:
-
Consolidation of general insurance claims processes by moving to a single system for home and motor repairs;
-
Standardising pricing processes under the General Insurance Pricing Engine (GIPE);
-
Consolidating multiple terms and conditions into consistent employment arrangements for all employees in Australia – the „One Team‟ project;
-
Commissioning a warehouse for all customer data – providing a single view of the Group‟s more than nine million direct customers, and
-
Moving to one general ledger accounting system, providing a single view of the Group‟s finances.
Additionally, the Group simplified its business by divesting non-core assets and implementing a NonOperating Holding Company (NOHC) structure.
Building block projects substantially completed during a year of significant natural hazard events
In the year to 30 June 2011, the Group substantially completed all of the building blocks projects on time and within budget. The successful completion of these projects has occurred during an unprecedented series of major events across Australia and New Zealand, with the Group managing more than 100,000 flood, cyclone, earthquake and other natural hazard claims at an estimated gross cost of around $4 billion.
The natural hazard events have impacted all operating businesses with a material impact on reported profit; however, pricing and claims initiatives have significantly improved the Group‟s ability to respond. Suncorp has emerged in a position of renewed strength, having served its customers with distinction, maintained a strong balance sheet, built significant brand loyalty and earned the respect of government, regulators and the general public.
In September 2010, the Group successfully moved to one general ledger accounting system providing a single view of the Group‟s finances and more timely information.
In November 2010, the single customer data warehouse was implemented. This single view of the customer has enabled life insurance products to be directly sold through general insurance brands such as Suncorp, GIO, Apia and AAMI.
Also in November, Suncorp employees voted in favour of a single Group-wide Enterprise Agreement, allowing the Suncorp Group Enterprise Agreement to come into effect on 26 February 2011.
In January 2011, the Group completed its transition to a NOHC structure, improving transparency of capital and allowing more efficient use of Group capital.
Between January and June 2011, the single claims and pricing projects were substantially completed. The Australian business is now pricing 85% of motor premium, 93% of home premium and 66% of SME commercial packages on GIPE, thereby enabling pricing to be tailored to individual risk and improving risk selection overall. The Group is progressively deploying its Guidewire ClaimsCentre system across General Insurance, and has introduced Repairlink assessment teams as well as opening 12 SMART (Small – Medium Accident Repair Technique) shops.
As part of the on going simplification agenda, the Group completed the divestments of Tyndall Investments (Tyndall) and New Zealand Guardian Trust (NZGT).

Execution of growth plans
In addition to successfully completing the building block projects, the Group has made good progress on growth plans outlined to the market in May 2010. Highlights include:
-
Based on the successful implementation of the building block projects, the general insurance business is on track to deliver its target of $235 million in annualised savings in FY13.
-
The general insurance business remains committed to increasing the underlying margin by at least 3% from FY10 to FY12. (Underlying margin for FY10 was 9% and increased to 10.8% for FY11).
-
The general insurance businesses have completed their move to functionally aligned, customerfocused structures, delivering growth ( GWP increased 5.2% excluding exited businesses) and using scale in terms of pricing and claims.
-
Suncorp Bank is on track to deliver a sustained Return on Equity greater than 15% from the Core banking business.
-
Suncorp Bank achieved lending growth marginally above system in mortgages for the financial year despite lower lending growth rates in its home market of Queensland.
-
Suncorp Bank continued the roll out of new branches with 21 new sites opened as part of a commitment to double the branch footprint and treble the number of customers in New South Wales and Western Australia.
-
Suncorp Bank reduced the cost to income ratio in the second half of the year, while continuing its investments in growing the branch network and focusing on platform simplification.
-
Non-core Bank run-off continues in an orderly fashion (gross loans reduced to $7.7 billion at 30 June 2011) , in turn generating an increase in available capital.
-
Suncorp Life new business sales increased by 21% in FY11 .
-
Good progress was made in building a direct distribution business of scale (sales through the Suncorp Life direct channel increased by 44% to $23 million).
-
Reflecting the progress made in de-risking of the business and in order to improve dividend flexibility, the Board has approved the dividend payout ratio be adjusted to 50% to 70% of cash earnings excluding divestments.
Financial performance for the year ended 30 June 2011
The General Insurance profit after tax was $392 million. This result was achieved despite the unprecedented sequence of natural hazard events. Natural hazard claims were $325 million above allowances and additional reinsurance protections cost $232 million. Improvements in the management of long-tail claims and reduced claims handling costs have resulted in central estimate reserve releases that were $310 million, well above the Group‟s normal expectations. The underlying ITR has improved from 9% to 10.8% as benefits from the claims and pricing initiatives flow through.
In the Core Bank , profit after tax was $259 million, with a net interest margin of 1.90%, up from 1.80%. The margin against lending assets was 2.18%, up from 2.06%. Lending growth was marginally above system level.
The Non-core Bank incurred a loss after tax of $175 million. The run-off of the portfolio progressed ahead of expectations with total lending reducing to $7.7 billion, down $4.9 billion for the year. Impairment losses were down significantly, to $274 million from $428 million.
Suncorp Life’s profit after tax was $149 million. Underlying profit after tax of $147 million was impacted by higher than expected claims costs, policy lapses and divested businesses. The Embedded Value of Suncorp Life was $2.4 billion.
The combined profit after tax from business lines was $625 million for the year. The after tax loss from divestments of Tyndall and NZGT was $79 million. This, along with the amortisation of intangibles, resulted in a Group net profit after tax of $453 million.
Cash earnings per share (excluding divestments), which forms the basis of the Group‟s dividend payout calculation, was 50 cents. The final dividend of 20 cents brings the total payout ratio to 70%, at the top end of the Group's increased target payout ratio.

Group
for the year ended 30 June 2011
Group Capital
After previously stabilising the Group‟s balance sheet, the priority for Suncorp has been improving the transparency and quality of capital through the introduction of the NOHC. The NOHC restructure was approved by shareholders on 15 December 2010 and the restructure, along with capital transfers, occurred on 7 January 2011. Following the implementation of the NOHC, the new Group holding company, Suncorp Group Limited (SGL) may hold some of the capital to meet the internal targets of the operating businesses. Additionally, SGL will hold capital for risks associated with the service companies.
Based on the NOHC structure, Suncorp's capital targets have been revised by the Board to reflect a more appropriate risk appetite. The General Insurance capital target has been reduced and a portion of the Group's capital targets are held at the SGL level. Accordingly, an amount of capital equivalent to 0.05 times the General Insurance Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) and 0.5% of the Bank Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) is now included in the target capital base of SGL. At the operating level, the target levels are now 1.45 times the General Insurance MCR and 12.5% of Bank CAR.
The Group‟s capital position has strengthened during the year due to solid earnings, divestments and the run-off of the Non-core Bank. The balance sheet responded well to the multiple external events and the capital position remains strong with the quality of capital significantly improved. Given the strength of the capital position, the Board has:
-
Redeemed subordinated debt of $520 million during the year;
-
Increased the target dividend payout range to 50% to 70% of cash earnings excluding divestments;
-
Declared a final dividend of 20 cents per share, bringing the total ordinary dividend for the year to the top of the increased target range of 50% to 70% of cash earnings per share excluding divestments;
-
Redeemed $42 million in Reset Preference Shares for cash consideration following the NOHC transition in January 2011;
-
Agreed to the exchange of $72 million in Reset Preference Shares for cash consideration in September 2011; and
-
Maintained a zero discount on the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and neutralised the impact of the DRP on the final dividend by buying shares on-market.
At 30 June 2011, on a regulated entity basis, the Bank‟s CAR is 13.4% and the net tier 1 ratio is 9.58%. In the General Insurance regulated entities, domestic capital is 1.67 times MCR and the Group capital is 1.64 times MCR. Additionally, following the proposed final dividend, $698 million of capital is held by SGL and the consolidated group.
Based on current targets, the Group holds surplus capital of around $1,245 million. The Board continues to believe it is prudent to retain a capital buffer while regulatory, economic and natural hazard uncertainties remain. Additionally, Suncorp will seek to ensure that current credit ratings are maintained.
Investment market volatility in recent months has reinforced the appropriateness of the Group's conservative capital position. However, as market conditions stabilise, the Board will return to shareholders any capital that is considered to be excess to the operating requirements of the Group.

The Group‟s consolidated effective tax rate for the year ended 30 June 2011 was 34.9%. The effective tax rate varies from the corporate tax rate mainly due to the following:
-
Non deductible distributions from the Convertible Preference Shares ($12 million) and Reset Preference Shares ($2 million) against a lower relative Group profit.
-
The sale of the NZGT business resulted in a non-deductible write down of goodwill attributed to NZGT on the acquisition of Promina Group Ltd ($17 million).

These impacts are eliminated in the General Insurance profit contribution table in Appendix 7. Appendices 4 to 7 contain supplementary General Insurance tables including the underlying ITR calculation.
Result overview
General Insurance recorded an after tax profit of $392 million for the year to 30 June 2011.
The Insurance Trading Result (ITR) was $412 million, representing an ITR ratio of 6.6%. The headline ITR has reduced due to adverse natural hazard claims experience of $325 million above the Group‟s long-run allowances and additional reinsurance reinstatement costs of $232 million. Favourable long-tail claims experience resulted in reserve releases of $310 million, well above normal expectations. On an underlying basis, the ITR ratio improved to 10.8% from 9%.
Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased 3.6% to $7.3 billion.
Personal lines experienced solid growth, with Home up 11.5% and Motor up 4.4%. The home premium rates have increased due to ongoing adverse natural hazard experience and higher reinsurance costs. Retention rates have remained strong despite these premium increases.
Commercial Insurance GWP reduced 4% on a headline basis, however, after excluding exited product lines, GWP increased by 2.3%.
Compulsory Third Party (CTP) GWP increased 3.2% despite a headline ceiling rate reduction in the Queensland scheme.
Net incurred claims totalled $4.75 billion. Short-tail claims expenses were impacted by a significant number of major weather events, resulting in net natural hazard claims being $325 million above the Group‟s allowance. In long-tail claims, greater than expected reserve releases were attributable to improved claims management and favourable claims experience.
Total operating expenses reduced to $1.6 billion. Acquisition expenses reduced by $53 million and other underwriting expenses increased $6 million.
Investment income on insurance funds was $508 million. This included a benefit of $63 million from the narrowing of credit spreads and other mismatches. Investment returns on shareholder funds was $206 million.
Joint ventures and other income contributed $16 million. This is lower than prior years due to the divestment of the RACQI and RAAI joint ventures.
The Group‟s New Zealand operations were significantly impacted by multiple earthquakes in Christchurch during the year. The Group‟s reinsurance program mitigated the impact of the earthquakes that, to date, have an estimated gross claims cost of around A$2.5 billion. The overall loss of $203 million for the New Zealand insurance operations was predominantly due to the purchase of additional reinsurance reinstatements during the year and a $35 million one-off Liability Adequacy Test (LAT) charge.

Gross written premium (continued)
Motor
Motor GWP increased by 4.4% to $2,558 million.
In Australia, despite an increasingly competitive market, net written units were up 3% and average written premium increased 1.2%. Market share remained stable across the portfolio.
GWP growth was strong in the key mass market brands AAMI and Apia and in the specialist brand Shannons. All brands continued to increase their online presence, with impressive growth achieved by the special online brand Bingle.
New Zealand increased GWP by 6.9%, or 9.9% in NZ$ terms as a result of rate increases and new business acquired though AAI and the ANZI distribution channel.
Home
Home GWP increased by 11.5% to $1,924 million.
In Australia, growth of 11.8% was achieved. Average written premium rose 10%, predominantly in response to natural hazard events and in anticipation of increased reinsurance costs. Despite the price increases, net written units grew 1.8%. Price increases were targeted to support improved risk selection across the home portfolio.
Suncorp and Vero both experienced good growth as their capability to respond to various natural hazard events, and, in particular, the automatic flood cover offering, resulted in strong customer demand.
New Zealand is showing good momentum, up 9.1%, or 12.4% in NZ$ terms with growth flowing through the ANZI and AAI brands.
Commercial Insurance
Commercial Insurance GWP decreased 4% to $1,641 million.
After portfolio reviews in early 2010, Suncorp ceased writing Home Warranty, Aviation and Farm policies. These exited portfolios had contributed $105 million in the prior corresponding period and, after excluding their impact, Commercial Insurance GWP grew by 2.3%.
The portfolio experienced increased competition in small-medium broker business. Larger corporate property risks faced less competition, with rate hardening evident in the second half, as a consequence of natural hazard events and increased reinsurance costs.
Underwriting discipline has continued in the SME portfolio, despite heavy price-based competition. Profitability has been maintained, with expectations of a significant competitive advantage through more accurate risk-rating due to the introduction of GIPE (General Insurance Pricing Engine) and expectations that some competitors‟ pricing levels are unlikely to be sustainable.

Compulsory Third Party (CTP)
CTP GWP increased 3.2% to $864 million.
In New South Wales, Suncorp remains the second largest CTP provider, utilising a two-brand strategy and primarily focusing on attracting and retaining preferred risks. The NSW CTP portfolio has performed well throughout the year with pricing discipline and improved risk selection delivering a 4.6% net increase in policies in-force over the period, along with a 7.9% increase in average written premiums. Renewal rates remain solid across the portfolio, driven by competitive pricing and optimisation of internet functionality, putting Suncorp in a strong position to grow market share and increase margins.
Suncorp continues to be the leading CTP insurance provider in Queensland with over 50% market share. Average written premiums reduced 6.2% in the year following a reduction in the headline rate in the first half. Despite some competitors pricing below the ceiling rate, Queensland CTP market share remained flat.
Workers’ Compensation and other
Workers' Compensation is underwritten by GIO in Western Australia, ACT, Tasmania and Northern Territory. Workers‟ Compensation was marginally lower due to a 14% reduction in the Western Australian gazette rates from 30 June 2010, along with some aggressive market competition. Suncorp continues to maintain its underwriting discipline in this soft market.
„Other‟ premium income relates to direct travel insurance and Deposit Power products. Australian income stayed stable at $31 million; however, the New Zealand component fell slightly to $46 million from $52 million.
Reinsurance expense
Outwards reinsurance expense for the year was $806 million, an increase of $227 million. The increase was predominantly attributable to $232 million of reinstatement and back-up costs, due to earthquakes in Christchurch, Cyclone Yasi, as well as major floods in Queensland.
The 2011/12 property catastrophe treaty is the largest element of the Group‟s reinsurance program, which protects the Group from losses on single events over $250 million and covers home, motor and commercial property accounts against major catastrophes such as windstorm, hail, bushfire and earthquake in both Australia and New Zealand.
Additionally, the Group has again purchased an aggregate catastrophe reinsurance cover where Australian events with claims losses above $10 million are aggregated, until the retention of $250 million is exceeded. The capacity of the treaty is $200 million. The cover has a limit of $90 million per event.
While the 2011/12 reinsurance program is broadly similar in structure to the 2010/11 program, there are a number of notable differences, namely:
-
Attachment points at the top and the bottom of the catastrophe treaty have increased (by $200 million and $50 million respectively);
-
The New Zealand attachment point has been reduced to NZ$50 million;
-
Additional subsequent event New Zealand dropdowns to NZ$25 million have been purchased;
-
Aggregate cover has reduced to $200 million from $400 million; and
-
AAMI flood cover has been included in the program from early calendar year 2012.
Based on current estimates, the 2011/12 outward reinsurance expense is expected to be approximately $730 million. This is not comparable on a like-for-like basis with the cost of the 2010/11 program. Additional reinsurance costs on the main catastrophe and aggregate programs are being covered with premium increases being earned across Home, Commercial and New Zealand premium pools.

(1) $250 million is the maximum retention. For Australian risk, these classes are also protected by the property aggregate treaty. Once the $250 million aggregate deductible is eroded, the aggregate program provides cover of $90 million per event with $200 million of total capacity. For New Zealand risks, additional protection has been purchased to reduce the maximum retention to NZ$50 million.
Net incurred claims
Net claims costs increased 2.4% to $4.75 billion.
A sequence of major weather events across Australia and New Zealand resulted in natural hazard event costs being $325 million above the long-run expectation of $460 million. Major natural hazard events for the year were as follows:

Working loss ratios were stable during the year, however there was some isolated event-related claims inflation following the March 2010 Melbourne hail storms due to a lack of competitive tension between Victorian repairers.
Improved risk selection through GIPE, improved claims processes and reduced procurement costs have ensured that claims costs increases are minimised.
The valuation of outstanding claims at 30 June 2011 resulted in central estimate releases of $310 million. This is well above the Group‟s normal expectation for reserve releases (1.5% of net earned premium) and is primarily due to favourable claims experience and ongoing improvements in claims management in long-tail classes.
Risk margins
The Group has not changed its approach to setting risk margins. They remain at approximately 18% of outstanding claim reserves giving an approximate level of confidence of 90%.
Risk margins remained relatively stable, decreasing by only $1 million over the year. The assets notionally backing risk margins returned $43 million with significant volatility half on half. The net financial impact of risk margins on the ITR is $44 million. This is reversed in calculating the underlying margin in Appendix 4.

The following table shows the gross and net outstanding claims liabilities and their movement over time. The net outstanding claims liabilities are shown split between the net central estimate, the discount on net central estimate and the (90[th] percentile, discounted) risk margin components.

(1) This column is equal to the closing central estimate for outstanding claims (before the impact of a change in interest rates) incurred before the opening balance sheet date, less the opening net central estimate for outstanding claims, plus payments and claims handling expenses, less investment income earned on the net central estimate. A negative sign ( – ) implies that there has been a release from outstanding reserves.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses have decreased 2.8% to $1,623 million. This reduction, combined with an increase in premium income, has resulted in the total operating expense ratio decreasing to 25.8% from 26.5%. This decrease was achieved despite additional project spends relating to implementation of the Building blocks program.
Acquisition costs have decreased 5.5% to $912 million. The key elements of this decrease are a reduction of commissions following our exit from the Covermore business last year, as well as a one-off charge of $47 million in the previous financial year following the revision of deferred acquisition costs (DAC). These reductions were however, offset by a one-off charge of $35 million in the current year as a result of the liability adequacy test (LAT) deficiency in New Zealand. The acquisition expenses ratio has decreased to 14.5% from 15.3%.
Other underwriting expenses have increased 0.9% to $711 million. This includes $12 million, of one-off restructuring costs. The other underwriting expense ratio has increased to 11.3% from 11.2%.
Managed schemes
Net profit from managed scheme business was $18 million, up from $4 million in the prior year. This is largely due to improved incentive fees performance and greater market share for Managed Funds NSW.
Joint ventures and other income
The Group participated in joint ventures with the Tasmanian motoring club (RACT) and Capital SMART Repairs. The joint venture income was $16 million, down from $53 million in the prior year. The reduction follows the divestment of RACQI and RAAI on 28 February 2010.
The result includes a profit of $4 million following the transfer of 15% of the Tasmanian joint venture back to the RACT in October 2010. Despite an aggressive site rollout in its first year, Capital SMART produced a small net profit after tax.

Total investment income for the year of $714 million resulted in a total return over the portfolios of 6.7%.
An improvement in economic conditions in the first half of the period saw an increase in the Australian official cash rate in November 2010. Further anticipated rate rises didn‟t eventuate due to a weakening economy as well as increasing sovereign risk concerns in Europe and the USA.
The total investment income on technical reserves was $508 million. This result comprises:
-
Underlying yield income of $458 million.
-
A negative $8 million mark-to-market movement due to interest rate changes. This is offset by the corresponding reduction in claims expense resulting from the change in discount rates.
-
An accounting mismatch of negative $5 million. This was caused by the impact of increasing interest rates on the assets that back liabilities that are not marked to market for accounting purposes, namely unearned premium net of insurance debtors. It is called an accounting mismatch because the liability is, in reality, interest rate sensitive.
-
An economic mismatch of $63 million caused by credit spreads contracting, inflation-linked bonds return over nominal and other duration and yield curve movements.
The majority of Australian insurance funds portfolio underlying yield income of $429 million was due to returns on interest bearing securities. CPI growth over the year resulted in a strong return of $12 million from index-linked bonds and solid demand for domestic corporate bonds narrowed credit spreads resulting in $42 million of mark-to market gains.
Positive additional returns of $27 million came from duration matching the investment portfolio against the insurance liabilities. Fears of sovereign default and domestic growth concerns saw a decrease in government bond yields offsetting much of the increase earlier in the financial year. On average, government bond yields increased, contributing to mark-to-market losses of $18 million.
New Zealand insurance funds recorded investment income on interest-bearing securities of $16 million for the year.
Investment income on shareholders‟ funds was $206 million for the year, a yield of 7.3%. The Australian shareholder funds component returned $186 million, $152 million of which is attributable to underlying yield income on interest bearing securities. Additional returns of $24 million were obtained from mark-tomarket gains due to narrowing credit spreads.
New Zealand obtained a net return of $20 million on shareholder funds, which included $3 million of losses on equity instruments in the second half of the year.

Result overview
The Australian personal lines market was primarily influenced by a year of severe natural hazard events.
Pricing across the home portfolio hardened as insurers restore profitability and offset significant increases in reinsurance costs.
The market for motor insurance continues to be competitive, particularly in the online channel, however, there is no evidence that the new market entrants have been able to attract material shifts in market share. Overall, the motor portfolio continues to be impacted by general economic conditions and reduced demand for new motor vehicles.
Outlook
Suncorp Personal Insurance is well placed to respond to market dynamics. Following completion of the building blocks program of work, the priority is now to optimise these initiatives and consolidate Suncorp‟s industry leadership.
Suncorp Personal Insurance will continue to lead in distribution by optimising its direct franchise and innovating in the online distribution channel, particularly focusing on product access via smart phones and other mobile devices.
The implementation of GIPE enables Suncorp to achieve pricing objectives across its portfolio of brands. Additionally, an opt-out flood cover option will be offered across the AAMI home portfolio. While the Group will continue to capitalise on the halo effect following the Queensland events, it is not intended to increase concentration of the risk profile. Pricing initiatives undertaken in March and June 2011 ensure that increased reinsurance costs will be recouped in the 2012 financial year. Suncorp will continue to monitor the potential impact of these premium increases on its renewals and market share.
Investments in SMART and Repairlink will continue to provide cost leadership in the repair process. Suncorp‟s improved efficiency in centralisation of claims, settlements, recoveries and procurement processes, will allow the exploration of opportunities to partner with external providers.

Result overview
The Australian commercial insurance market experienced some modest price hardening during the year following the sequence of natural hazard events. Despite this, there remained strong price competition within the SME and Workers‟ Compensation markets and, in this environment, Suncorp remained committed to profitability rather than market share growth. Accordingly, the pace of growth has been slower than anticipated.
Long-tail classes continued to provide strong reserve releases as claims frequency and settlements track below expectations. Additionally, the Group has benefited from improved claims management processes.
Despite headline Queensland CTP reductions and competitors pricing below the ceiling rate, retention rates have remained solid with market share remaining flat.
Outlook
Suncorp expects that market trends will continue into the next financial year with some rate increases likely across property lines due to recent weather events however significant broader market hardening is not expected. Specifically, the SME market is unlikely to harden significantly in the near term and the Group continues to focus on establishing a solid base for future profitable growth with the launch of B2B pricing and claims platforms, establishment of successful Mid-Market Underwriting Rooms and implementation of a functional structure across Commercial Insurance.
Workers‟ Compensation is likely to see some modest hardening after Western Australian Gazette rates increased 3.3% from 1 July 2011.
In New South Wales CTP, the focus will be on continued optimisation of the Group‟s two-brand strategy to ensure profitable risk selection. The outlook for Queensland CTP is expected to be steady.
Focus will continue on extracting the benefits from building block initiatives to deliver an underlying ITR improvement and, given positive market trends, the targeted 3 % improvement in market share.

Result overview
The results for the New Zealand operations were dominated by the impacts of four major earthquakes in Christchurch during the year. The impact of these earthquakes has resulted in increased net claims costs, additional reinsurance reinstatement premiums and an additional LAT charge of $35 million.
Otherwise, the New Zealand operations recorded a solid underlying performance with a significant improvement in the underlying ITR and a GWP increase of 8.4% in NZ$ terms.
Outlook
The New Zealand market is expected to harden dramatically, particularly in the property classes, to offset additional reinsurance costs and to accommodate the increased likelihood of further earthquake activity.
New Zealand operations have been at the forefront of responding to the Christchurch earthquake events and continue to work with local and central governments to ensure a satisfactory outcome for impacted customers.

for the year ended 30 June 2011
Core Bank
Result overview
Suncorp Bank is Australia's fifth largest retail bank with its core business in personal, SME and agribusiness banking.
Core Bank profit after tax was $259 million. This performance was underpinned by the following achievements:
-
Home lending marginally above system for the full year, despite exposure to flood affected Queensland;
-
Solid core business lending growth despite contracting system;
-
The deposit to core lending ratio was maintained at the top end of the target range of 60% to 70%;
-
The net interest margin to lending assets improved by 12 basis points over the year; and
-
Impairment charges were in line with the banking industry despite the weather events.
Growth in housing loan receivables was strong in the first half but momentum slowed significantly following the impact of major weather events. The Bank‟s strong brand presence supported renewed growth towards the end of the year, however the Queensland mortgage market continues to be subdued. Over the year, housing loan receivables (including securitised assets), increased by 6.5% to $30.9 billion.
Consumer lending decreased 1.9% over the year to $558 million as customers continued to focus on repaying existing debt.
Business lending increased 5.4% to $8.1 billion at 30 June 2011. This is a solid result in a market that is still contracting and reflects the strength of the franchise and the Bank‟s position as number one nationally in customer satisfaction among business customers, as measured by Roy Morgan[1] .
The Bank continued to focus on developing 'Main Financial Institution' status with customers through its Complete Customer metric. This builds more enduring customer relationships and supports the Bank‟s multi-product holdings strategy.
The deposit to core lending ratio was maintained at the top end of the target range. Deposit growth moderated to match lending growth and support the net interest margin. The overall composition of deposits improved over the year in terms of both price and retention quality.
Net interest income for the full year was $837 million, representing an increase of 11.2%. Net interest income to interest earning assets improved by 10 basis points to 1.90%, and net interest income to lending assets improved by 12 basis points to 2.18%. This margin improved by 16 basis points from the first to second half.
Net banking fee income of $87 million was down 23% reflecting the systemic shift in the market to lower fees. This reduction was particularly evident in the home lending and retail deposit portfolios.
Operating expenses were $492 million, up from $451 million, reflecting continued investment in building the core franchise and stimulating growth through branch expansion and increasing customer-facing staff. The cost-to-income ratio was 52.5%. The second half cost to income ratio was 52.0%, down from 53.0% in the first half. This trend is expected to continue as the growth in average receivables balances increases and new branch investment matures.

Core Bank
for the year ended 30 June 2011
A $25 million provision made in December 2010 to allow for potential losses and credit quality deterioration due to the flood events has been retained. The Bank took a conservative approach to provide for the dislocation impacts that could potentially arise. Actual incurred losses have been immaterial to date.
Outlook
Credit growth is expected to remain subdued as higher inflation, global uncertainty and interest rate rises continue to weigh on consumer confidence. In Queensland, there is expected to be significant stimulus to the economy following the flood and cyclone events as a result of insurance claims rebuilding and significant state and federal government funding. The strength of the Suncorp brand within Queensland will ensure it benefits from this economic stimulus.
The Bank continues to target above system growth rates in home and core business lending and a deposit to core loan ratio at the top end of its target 60% to 70% range.
The net interest margin benefited from the out-of-cycle mortgage rate increase in November 2010. The improved net interest margin should deliver further earnings growth in 2012, although both strong market competition and volatile wholesale funding markets provide a degree of caution in the outlook.
The Core Bank continues to actively manage its retail deposit base to optimise the net interest margin. Further opportunities to improve the composition of the Bank‟s funding base will be pursued to support profitability and strengthen the Bank‟s preparedness for the introduction of the new 'Basel lll' liquidity rules in 2015.

Total Core Bank lending was $39.6 billion at 30 June 2011, an increase of 6.1%.
The Bank produced strong lending growth in the first half of the year, as it increased advertising and promotion at the local level and continued its branch network expansion. However, flooding in Queensland along with higher interest rates has slowed lending growth in the second half. Despite these impacts, growth was marginally above system levels for the full year at 1.02 times system (as measured by the RBA).

Financial results for the year ended 30 June 2011
Core Bank
Personal Lending
Housing lending
Home loan receivables, including securitised assets, grew 6.5% to $31 billion.
Positive momentum achieved in the home lending portfolio late in the 2010 financial year continued into the first half of 2011, up 4.7%. Home lending momentum stalled with flooding in South East Queensland, Cyclone Yasi and increases in official interest rates resulting in second half home lending growth of 1.7%.
Consumer lending
Consumer lending decreased 1.9% over the year. Consumers remain cautious in taking on new discretionary debt, consistent with the broader trend of deleveraging in the economy.
Business Lending
As expected, the business pipeline late in the first half transitioned to strong lending growth in the second half, finishing the year with growth of 5.4%. The annualised growth rate in the second half was 8.8%. Sales pipelines remain solid with momentum continuing, however, confidence levels vary across the business sectors.
Commercial (SME)
Commercial loans to small to medium business increased 6.7% for the year. This solid growth was underpinned by increased distribution strength and capability in the Bank‟s growing target markets in Western Australia and New South Wales. During the year, ten district banking centres were opened. Recent marketing campaigns have proved successful bringing new customers to the Bank across all regions.
The Bank achieved strong organic growth from its existing customer base across both regional and metropolitan areas. Opportunities for continued growth remain with growing inquiry levels emerging.
Agribusiness
The agribusiness portfolio grew by 3.7% over the year.
Flooding in South East Queensland significantly disrupted many agribusiness customers early in the second half but the negative impacts have proven to be short term and loss experience to date is low. Agribusiness customers have taken advantage of renewed water sources, replanting and restocking, which is improving the outlook for serviceability. Although the higher Australian dollar has reduced competitiveness in international markets, trading conditions remain positive.

Core Bank
Core Bank funding composition
The Core Bank conservatively manages its capital and liability mix. Over 94% of the Core Bank‟s lending portfolio is funded by retail deposits and other stable funding and capital sources. The bulk of the funding from short-term wholesale markets in part reflects the high liquid asset ratio that is being maintained. Suncorp Bank‟s liquid asset ratio is significantly above its peer group.

The Core Bank also has access to significant contingent liquidity in a crisis. Suncorp has established an on-balance sheet internal securitisation structure containing approximately $8.5 billion of mortgages that is currently unutilised. Significant additional capacity is available within days if required.
Retail funding
Core retail deposits grew 4.5% for the year. The Bank's deposit to lending ratio remained at 70% at 30 June 2011, the upper end of its retail funding mix target range. The Bank maintained growth in deposits to match lending growth during the year, improving the quality of the composition of deposits and supporting net interest margins. Solid growth of 6.2% was achieved in low cost transaction account balances over the year.
The targeted expansion of the branch network in Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales, along with the expansion of the ATM network and customer service reach, supported the Bank's position and outlook for future deposit growth.
Wholesale funding
The success in growing the customer deposit base has resulted in a substantial reduction in the requirement for wholesale funding.
The „A+‟ credit rating (Standard & Poor‟s „A+‟, Moody‟s „A1‟, and Fitch „A‟) of the Bank enables well diversified access to both domestic and international markets, providing the Bank substantial funding flexibility and future capacity for balance sheet growth. The Bank has demonstrated access to the domestic and international term funding markets, as well as RMBS markets since the Global Financial Crisis without utilising the government guarantee. Senior unsecured transactions were completed in November 2010 and May 2011 raising $900 million and $650 million respectively.

(1) Includes wholesale debt, securitisation, subordinated notes and preference shares.
The Bank operates a solid wholesale funding instrument duration profile given the very strong retail deposit to lending ratio. It is important to note that a significant portion of wholesale funding (60% > 1 year) is represented by securitisation. Whilst this funding amortises over time, its rate of duration decay is substantially lower than other term funding instruments. This reduces the profile of future funding maturity towers and is important in reducing refinancing risk.

(1) Includes liquid asset portfolio.
Net interest income for the year grew by 11.2% to $837 million, driven by a combination of higher average lending balances and an improved margin.
The quality and pricing of the Bank‟s retail deposit base was improved, whilst retaining a 70% retail funding mix. The margin also benefited from an increase in the yield curve and flow on impact to the benefit from low cost deposits.
Net interest margin as measured against average interest earning assets was 1.90%, up 10 basis points. Net interest margin as measured against average lending assets improved by 12 basis points to 2.18%.
The extent of the difference between the margin to lending assets and interest earning assets reflects the Bank‟s conservative approach to liquidity management, with higher liquid asset balances than the industry average, diluting the margin on average interest earnings assets. It is important to note that the impact and associated cost of holding liquid assets is factored into both measures. As such, the margin on lending assets is a better reflection of the total profitability of the Bank against its customer franchise and is a better metric for competitor comparison.

Lending spreads increased 13 basis points as the full impact of the out-of-market cycle increase in housing rates, which occurred in November 2010, flowed through. The lending portfolio mix resulted in the lending margin (excluding the out-of-cycle increase) remaining stable.
The deposit to core lending ratio was maintained at the top end of the Bank‟s target range allowing flexibility in the funding approach. Deposit growth was moderated to match lending growth, providing support to the net interest margin. Growth in low cost deposits improved the overall composition of deposits in terms of both price and retention quality. As a result, funding spread improvement increased the margin by three basis points for the half. This was achieved despite a competitive market for retail deposits.

Net banking fee income was $87 million, down 23% on the prior year. Customers continue to focus on low fee lending and deposit products across all categories. Product competition has seen a systemic move away from lending fees across the industry. The Bank has had success in sales of low fee products, where the offsetting benefit is reflected in net interest income.
Financial instruments and other operating revenue
Net mark-to-market gains on financial instruments and other income was $14 million for the year, down from $27 million.
As part of its normal balance sheet management operations, the Bank purchases liquid assets and uses short-dated hedging instruments for interest rate risk management purposes that do not qualify for hedge accounting and are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. These instruments are often held to maturity and as such will unwind, with the impact realised in net interest income until maturity.
The movement in the unrealised mark-to-market position on these balance sheet management instruments during the period is as follows:

Operating expenses
Operating expenses were $492 million, resulting in a Core Bank cost to income ratio of 52.5%.
Expenses increased by 9% under a program to reinvigorate the franchise from the conservative growth and derisking profile of the prior year. The program of investment included:
-
Opening of 21 new branches and District Banking Centres to build brand penetration;
-
An increase of 7% in frontline sales and service personnel;
-
An increase of 28% in marketing and advertising spend, over the constrained spend in 2010, to support the national branch expansion;
-
Expansion of trade and debtor finance;
-
Investment in the Suncorp Group Building blocks program which brought together a single employee agreement and a single payroll and performance management system; and
-
Continued focus on simplification including investing in technology programs to remove duplicate systems, commencement of the core platform replacement program and management information system upgrades.

Impairment losses on loans and advances in the Core Bank were stable at $51 million.
The current year result includes a $25 million provision that was recognised in December 2010 as allowance for losses and credit quality deterioration arising from the Queensland flooding. To date, no significant impairments due to flood have occurred. However, operating conditions within several sectors of the Queensland economy remain weak, potentially in part due to second and third order flood dislocation impacts. At balance date, Suncorp Bank chose to retain the full $25 million flood provision.

Core Bank
Underlying losses continue to reduce. Excluding the flood provision, impairment losses to credit riskweighted assets was 12 basis points for the year and annualised 8 basis points in the second half.
Impaired assets
Gross impaired asset balances decreased by $33 million over the half. Trading conditions remain mixed across portfolios with some industries still experiencing the impact of previous disruptions and market volatility. Customers were able to take opportunities to reduce debt levels, refinance or sell down assets, particularly in commercial lending.
Gross non-performing loans increased 36.1% driven primarily by housing loans across all regions. Past due loans on SME and Agribusiness sectors reduced to $87 million, ninety day past due mortgages were $293 million and past due other retail were $6 million as at 30 June 2011. Ninety day past due mortgages represent 0.95% of the portfolio. Mortgages remain well secured with a history of low loss.

Non-core Bank
Result overview
The Non-core Bank continued to exceed run-off targets in 2011. The focus remains on responsible run-off of the portfolio to maximise the value of distributable capital that can be returned to the Group.
Gross loans and advances in the Non-core Bank reduced by $4.9 billion over the year to $7.7 billion at 30 June 2011. This run-off was achieved across all segments. The after tax loss was $175 million for the year with the loss experience reducing significantly over recent quarters.
The Bank has maintained its strategy of match funding the non-core book, taking a conservative approach to refinancing risk through to portfolio maturity. The Bank currently holds excess liquid assets over prudential requirements which have enabled the comfortable repayment of significant funding maturities during the year. The Bank is also well positioned to meet the impending regulatory changes being imposed on the industry to strengthen liquidity reserves.
The significant holding of liquid assets and an overall increase in the weighted average cost of funding continue to have a material impact on the non-core net interest margin, although this stabilised in the second half.
Non-core impairment losses for the year were $274 million, a reduction of 36%.
Non-core impaired assets decreased during the second half of the year to $2.2 billion after an increase in the first half. Improvement in market conditions across the sectors has allowed some resolution of accounts.
Outlook
The non-core portfolio continues to outperform its run-off targets. The balance sheet and liquidity positions have been set to provide a buffer to any market slowdown, however the portfolio is expected to continue to run-off in an orderly fashion broadly in line with its maturity profile.
The trend in impairment losses is positive, however, the book has a high concentration of large exposures and, as such, risk exists due to its lumpy nature.
The liberation of capital from the non-core portfolio gained momentum during the year and this is expected to continue.

The Non-core portfolio continues to run-off in an orderly manner liberating capital for the Group. Run-off remains ahead of forecast with customers demonstrating an appetite to restructure exposures, making divestments where necessary, to facilitate refinance.
The development finance portfolio has now matured through its construction risk phase. Property markets have stabilised in most areas, however, some segments of the market remain over supplied, particularly in higher-end product and vacant land, where the outlook is less certain.

Non-core Bank
Business Portfolios
Corporate lending
The corporate lending book has continued to run-off ahead of expectations, reducing by 36.3% over the year to $1.6 billion.
Refinance markets are generally robust in this segment of the portfolio, although appetite remains exposure-specific. Favourable pricing terms for many customers in this portfolio provide a natural dis-incentive to run-off.
Development finance
The balance of Development Finance loans continued to decline over the year, reducing 42.2% to $2.5 billion.
Conditions in development finance markets have improved marginally with excess supply in some areas reducing. Sale opportunities continue for completed projects, particularly in metropolitan and regional centres and for affordable product. Some customers have been able to complete asset sales to reduce leverage levels, enabling them to refinance with other institutions.
Property investment
Property investment includes assets such as shopping centres, commercial offices, and industrial warehouses and excludes construction projects.
Property investment loans reduced 34.8% during the year to $3.2 billion.
With a stabilising market outlook and vacancy rates continuing at relatively low rates, appetite has slowly continued to improve for investors and financiers, although loan to valuation ratios following property price depreciation serves to constrain refinance activity. As conditions improve, purchasers are showing interest in acquiring quality properties in strong locations.
Lease finance
In line with the natural portfolio amortisation, the lease finance receivables balance reduced by 51.5% for the year to $409 million.

Non-core Bank
The Bank has maintained its strategy of match funding the non-core book, taking a conservative approach to refinancing risk through to portfolio maturity.
Total wholesale funding across the Bank has been apportioned to the core and non-core portfolios, enabling the separate management of balance sheet and funding risk. The asset maturity of the non-core portfolio has been modelled based upon expected run-off over time, taking into account individual account management plans and repayment profiles, together with a management allowance for individual account extension risk. From this, a liability profile has been constructed based on the following principles:
-
The non-core portfolio is to be positively funded to maturity;
-
Short-term funding is to fund liquid assets only; and
-
Liquid assets are to be maintained to ensure adequate pay down of maturities as and when they occur.
The chart below illustrates the cumulative funding position of the Non-core Bank, showing that the portfolio remains positively funded to maturity.

$7.7 billion of wholesale long-term funding matured during the year and this was repaid with proceeds from the non-core run-off. As the non-core continues to run-off ahead of expectations, Suncorp Bank holds significant excess liquid assets over prudential requirements and these will effectively pre-fund upcoming maturities.

Net interest income was $73 million for the year and was impacted by continued higher costs of long-term wholesale funding and declining non-core balances.
The Bank's strategy to de-risk the funding profile of the non-core book by match funding to maturity has resulted in higher funding costs across the non-core book.
The Bank continues to run down the non-core portfolio ahead of expectations, with lower average balances reducing net interest income over the year. The Bank also has a higher ratio of impaired assets in the portfolio, where interest is not brought to account. This has a significant impact on net interest income and will continue to do so until the market for realisation of these exposures improves.
For the full year to 30 June 2011, the net interest margin as measured against average interest earning assets was 0.38%, and the net interest margin as measured against average lending assets was 0.71%. The extent of the difference between the two ratios reflects the Bank‟s conservative approach to liquidity management, with higher liquid asset balances diluting the margin on average interest earnings assets, however the cost impact of holding liquid assets is factored into both measures.

The average spread on non-core loans increased by 13 basis points during the half. This increase is a result of a continued focus, where possible, to re-price facilities as a result of the high funding costs incurred in the Non-core Bank.
Overall funding costs decreased from their peak at December 2010 which resulted in an increase in the margin of 24 basis points in the second half. No new term debt was issued for the non-core portfolio during the half. The Non-core Bank repaid maturities which has led to a reduction in the overall weighted average cost of funding for the portfolio.

Non-core Bank
The impaired asset portfolio contributed an additional 23 basis points reduction in the net interest margin. The Non-core Bank released capital to the Group NOHC as part of the NOHC restructuring program which reduced the “free-funding” benefit of capital. This reduced the margin by 4 basis points.

Net banking fee income was $31 million for the year. Non-core fee income will reduce in line with receivables balances.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses of the non-core portfolio were $76 million for the year to 30 June 2011.
The Bank has continued its program of cost extraction, reducing the cost base associated with the management of the non-core portfolio, namely direct management and servicing costs. It is anticipated that this cost management program will continue until the end of 2013, albeit on a lagged profile compared to the portfolio amortisation.

Impairment losses on non-core loans and advances were $274 million for the year, a reduction of 36%. Impairment losses continue to improve half on half as business conditions improve. The second half impairment loss of $104 million is down 38.8% on the first half. A reduction in the number of new accounts becoming impaired and relatively higher security values on those that have emerged, have positively impacted the level of impairment charges.
Assets continue to work through the cycle, moving from collective provisioning to specific and in some cases to write-off. Impairment charges are predominantly focused on the property and development portfolios. Reductions in valuations and extended work out periods are increasing impairment costs.

Gross impaired assets at 30 June 2011 reduced to $2.2 billion during the second half. Only one new large exposure, in the Development Finance portfolio, was individually impaired during the half.
Past due loans, which are not impaired assets, increased to $125 million.
Market conditions continue to show signs of improvement across the sectors, allowing some realisation of exposures.
For distressed assets, the market remains patchy and is some way from a full recovery. It is expected that these conditions will remain for the short term, adding uncertainty to the workout period for impaired accounts. The Bank remains appropriately provisioned and capitalised and is managing impaired asset workouts in a measured way to maximise shareholder value extraction.

Result overview
Suncorp Life is a trans-Tasman life risk specialist with a complementary business in superannuation and investments. Products are distributed through Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) via the Asteron brand and directly to customers via Suncorp Group brands.
Suncorp Life reported an underlying profit after tax of $147 million for the full year, down 21.8%. Net profit after tax was $149 million. In-force premium grew to $818 million and Embedded Value (EV) was $2.4 billion.
Life Risk profit after tax was $92 million down 30.8%. This is comprised of planned profit margin release of $95 million and underlying investment income of $46 million offset by negative experience of $49 million.
Challenging economic conditions and weakening consumer sentiment have had an impact on both lapse experience and claims. The impact on lapses has been partially mitigated, half-on-half, from $13 million in the first half to $8 million in the second, through tighter management and implementation of a range of initiatives. Disability claims experience was unfavourable for both number of new claims and duration of claims. Suncorp Life continues to focus on claims duration management, and experience losses are down half-on-half from $15 million to $5 million.
Suncorp Life has a clear strategy in place as a life insurance specialist with specific focus on:
-
Leading the IFA market; and
-
Building a direct distribution business of scale.
This is underpinned by a focus on increasing the value of in-force driven by simplification, claims management and retention initiatives. The operating model was further simplified with the sale of the asset management business Tyndall and New Zealand Guardian Trust (NZGT).
Progress has been made against this strategy with new business sales up 14.3% to $56 million in the adviser channel and up 43.8% to $23 million in the direct channel.
Individual Life Risk new business is up 12.3% to $91 million reflecting the strong momentum in the IFA and direct distribution channels. This improvement in new business, in addition to Australian Financial Services Licensee (AFSL) tender wins and strong industry recognition, demonstrates Asteron‟s position in the market as an independent specialist risk provider is resonating. In New Zealand, regulatory change and economic factors contributed to a reduction in new business volumes.
In the Direct channel, sales to the Group‟s general insurance customer base are gaining traction with four products launched to the Suncorp, GIO, AAMI and Apia customer bases. There has also been improvement in sales to customers through the bank channel.
In Superannuation & Investments (S&I), funds under administration (FUA) were down 37.5% to $7.7 billion, impacted by the divestments. Net profit after tax was $44 million, up 7.3% reflecting a stable underlying result. The S&I result includes an allocation of distribution expenses.
In the recently divested Asset Management business, profit after tax was $11 million.
Market adjustments, while not impacting underlying performance, impact net profit after tax and amounted to $2 million.
Suncorp Life‟s operating expenses were stable at $299 million with the impact of divested businesses offset by investment in growing the business and realising its strategic goals.

Outlook
Suncorp Life remains committed to its overall strategy to double new business through building growth in the IFA and direct channels while focusing on customer retention, improving claims management and reducing expenses as a percentage of in-force premium, these being the key drivers of profitability, ROE and Embedded Value.
Economic conditions in Australia and New Zealand continue to provide headwinds for the business. Suncorp Life is focused on factors it can control, including strategies to grow new business and maintain existing business through targeted activity on lapses and claims duration. Half-on-half these strategies show signs of traction, with lapses and claims trending down. Suncorp Life will continue this approach as a means to address impacts on in-force and on overall results.
Suncorp Life will also continue to focus on new business growth through the IFA market. Asteron is Suncorp Life‟s key IFA brand, maximising growth opportunities through specialisation, relationship management, product innovation and delivery. Asteron is also looking for growth through diversification and securing a partnership with Colonial First Choice, one of Australia‟s largest platforms, is a key example.
The direct offer is expanding and Suncorp Life continues to leverage the Group customer base in Australia and the Automobile Association (AA) customer base in New Zealand. Growth in the direct distribution business highlights the strategy to expand into less capital intensive channels of new business.
In Superannuation & Investments, regulatory change is anticipated to mandate simplification and streamlining of the superannuation industry. The significant simplification program undertaken over the last two years by Suncorp Life to migrate legacy products and consolidate funds positions the business well to take advantage of emerging changes. The coming year will see Superannuation & Investments deepen its offer to the Group‟s customer base.
In line with the strategy to simplify and focus on the core life insurance business, Suncorp Life announced two major transactions during the reporting period. These were the divestments of Tyndall and NZGT, completed in the quarter ending 31 March 2011. Accordingly, asset management results will not be included in future reporting periods.
The loss of the Sunsuper Group Risk mandate at 1 July 2011 will impact future in-force premium growth.
Suncorp Life is undertaking a project to transfer the Australian life business of Asteron Life Limited to Suncorp Life & Superannuation Limited. Operating as a single entity will result in reduced costs and capital requirements through simplifying and aligning our policies and processes.

Life Risk
Regulatory change and market consolidation have increased the relevance and importance of independent life insurance providers in the IFA market.
Suncorp Life is making significant progress in positioning Asteron as a viable product alternative for institutional owned dealer groups and will continue to pursue this strategy through quality dealer support and competitive offerings. These actions are resonating with the market and new business is growing strongly in Australia; however, in New Zealand growth has been adversely impacted by economic conditions, natural hazard events and regulatory change.
Asteron has been successful in building its profile as a leading life insurance specialist. NMG[1] has recently ranked Asteron the number one brand for dealerships and number two for advisers.
There is a growing appetite for direct life insurance products and Suncorp Life is in a unique position to capture this opportunity through the Group customer base in Australia and the AA customer base in New Zealand.
The economic and market environment continues to place pressure on lapses and disability claims. Close attention to claims duration management and customer retention initiatives has mitigated some of this impact. This will continue to be a priority focus for the business.

Life Embedded Value
The Embedded Value of Suncorp Life includes Suncorp Life Holdings Limited and all subsidiaries, principally the two Australian life companies (Asteron Life Limited and Suncorp Life & Superannuation Limited) and the New Zealand life company (Asteron Life Limited New Zealand).
The Embedded Value is the sum of the net present value of all future cashflows distributable to the shareholder that are expected to arise from in-force business, the value of franking credits at 70% of face value and the net assets in excess of target capital requirements (adjusted net worth). The Embedded Value differs from what is known as an Appraisal Value, as it does not consider the value of future new business that the company is expected to write.
The components of value are shown in the table below:
Embedded Value

(1) Includes VOYS.
Note that in relation to the above values:
-
The components of value relate to Suncorp Life in its entirety;
-
The risk discount rate was equal to 4% above the risk-free rate;
-
Value of in-force is the present value of distributable profits emerging (in excess of target capital), together with the value of associated franking credits; and
-
VOYS includes an allowance for the cost of holding target capital.

Change in Embedded Value
After distributions to the parent shareholder and release of franking credits, the Embedded Value decreased slightly from $2,406 million at 30 June 2010 to $2,377 million at 30 June 2011.
There were a number of structural changes in Suncorp Life‟s portfolio that have impacted Embedded Value over the year. This includes the conclusion of the Sunsuper Group risk contract as at 1 July 2011 and the sale of Tyndall and NZGT.
Suncorp Life experienced adverse lapse and disability income claims experience in the year. While there have been improvements in the second half, long-term actuarial valuation assumptions have been revised for both lapse and claims rates, which has had an adverse impact on the Embedded Value. There are a number of initiatives underway focused on further improving experience. The impact of these initiatives will be reflected in future assumptions with the emergence of benefits.
The change in Embedded Value over the current year is shown in more detail below:

(1) Dividends/transfers include dividends recommended or paid up to the parent company during FY11.
Change in Value of One Year's Sales (VOYS)
The VOYS for Suncorp Life has fallen during the year. Part of this fall is attributable to the effect of the assumption changes that are shown above in the Embedded Value movement table and investment in building the direct business. Low new business sales in the challenging New Zealand environment combined the impact of regulatory change have also led to reduced VOYS for the year.

Assumptions
The assumptions used for valuing in-force business and the VOYS are based on long-term best estimate assumptions.
Maintenance unit costs were based on assumptions underlying the valuation and were assumed to grow in line with inflation. The valuations do not assume any improvements in future unit costs from efficiency gains beyond the current 12 months. Discontinuance and claims (death and disability) assumptions are best estimate assumptions based on company experience and are consistent with those used for profit reporting.
VOYS calculations are based on actual new business written and acquisition costs incurred during FY11. New business includes new policies as well as voluntary increases (i.e. benefit increases) to existing policies.
Embedded Value includes contractual increases (age and CPI) on retail business but excludes voluntary increases to existing retail policies.
The Australian Life Companies are required to hold regulatory capital in excess of policy liabilities. They also hold additional capital ('target surplus') based on internal requirements. Asteron Life Limited New Zealand holds capital as prescribed in Professional Standard 5 (PS5), ‟Solvency Reserving for Life Insurance Business‟, issued by the New Zealand Society of Actuaries plus additional target surplus capital. In determining the Embedded Value, the value of this capital is discounted based on the expected time that it is to be held, allowing for its release as business runs off.
The Suncorp Life Embedded Value also includes the value of Suncorp Portfolio Services Limited, based on discounted cash flow projections. In addition, a number of smaller entities within the division were valued at net assets.

(2) Investment Returns (net of tax) are based on the assumed investment returns for underlying asset classes, applied to the invested shareholder assets. Projected returns for assets backing policyholder liabilities will also depend on the mix of policyowner assets from time to time.

Appendix 3 – Group Capital
Group capital position
The NOHC restructure was approved by shareholders on 15 December 2010 and final capital transactions were executed on 7 January 2011. The intention of the NOHC restructure is to continue to manage capital in accordance with the existing internal capital targets; however, the new Group holding company, Suncorp Group Limited (SGL) may hold some of the capital to meet the internal targets of the operating businesses. Additionally, SGL will hold capital for risks associated with the service companies.

(1) These numbers are for the consolidated segments. They do not align with the regulatory reporting groups used in the Banking capital adequacy and General Insurance minimum capital requirement calculations.
(2) For Banking and domestic General Insurance, this represents the business line retained profits determined using the APRA calculation. New Zealand General Insurance retained profits are on a statutory basis. APRA required accrual of expected dividends in the Bank and General Insurance current year profits. To allow for consistency across the Group, expected dividends are also included for Life.
(3) Other required deductions include surpluses in defined benefit funds.
(4) Capital in unregulated entities includes capital in authorised NOHCs such as Suncorp Group Limited (SGL).
(5) APRA requires regulated entities to have internal capital targets. For the Banking business, the target is a 12.5% capital adequacy ratio. The target capital for the General Insurance business is 1.45 times the Minimum Capital Requirement. The Life business capital target is an amalgamation of target capital for Statutory Funds, minimum capital required for Shareholder Funds and net tangible asset requirements for investment management entities. The NOHC Target is derived from the assessed risk of the Group.

Appendix 4 – Underlying ITR
In May 2010, the Suncorp Group outlined operational strategies and building blocks projects that would drive an improvement of at least 3% in the underlying Insurance Trading Result (ITR) ratio for the year to 30 June 2012.
For the year ended 30 June 2010, the underlying ITR ratio was 9% and this has improved to 10.8% due to premium increases and the initial benefits of the Group‟s building block program. The Group remains on track to deliver an underlying ITR ratio of at least 12% for the year to 30 June 2012.
For the purposes of the underlying ITR calculation, the Net Earned Premium (NEP) is the reported $6,277 million increased by reinsurance reinstatement premiums of $232 million. The methodology for calculating the underlying ITR is the reported ITR adjusted for the following:
Reserve releases
The adjustment is the difference between actual reserve releases and the long run average „expected‟ release. Based on the Group‟s conservative approach to reserving, the expected release in any discrete full year period is calculated to be around 1.5% of Net Earned Premium (NEP).
Natural hazards
The adjustment is the total of all natural hazard claims above or below the allowance.
Investment income mismatch
This adjustment removes the impact of changes in credit spreads and the volatility in the value of indexlinked bonds („economic mismatch‟ of $63 million), together with timing mismatches on premium liabilities („accounting mismatch‟ of negative $5 million). There was also a $3 million unwind of the previous accounting mismatch.
Other adjustments
This adjustment captures any material and abnormal one-off items including material movements in risk margins. For the year to 30 June 2011, the adjustments were $232 million in reinsurance reinstatement premium, a $44 million impact from risk margins, $12 million for restructuring costs and a LAT deficiency charge of $35 million relating to New Zealand operations.
The calculation of the underlying ITR for the full year to 30 June 2011 is displayed in the table below:

(1) As part of the NOHC restructure on 7 January 2011, the shared services entities of the Suncorp Group previously included in Consolidated banking are now excluded from the Consolidated Banking results. The June 2010 and December 2010 balances have been restated on this basis to enable comparability between these periods. As Suncorp-Metway Ltd, an entity within the Consolidated Banking group, was ultimate parent entity of the Suncorp Group prior to 7 January, it had investment in non-banking subsidiaries prior to this date.
(2) Other assets is mainly made up of accrued interest and prepayments. Other assets also includes interdivisional loans and clearing accounts between core and non-core.
(3) Goodwill and intangible balances for June 2010 and December 2010 are restated to present goodwill on a post allocation to CGU (cash generating unit) basis.
(4) For balance dates prior to the NOHC restructure, Dec-10 and prior numbers reflect Core Equity Tier 1 Capital which is equivalent measure to Core Equity Tier 1 under the NOHC restructure.
