SUNCORP GROUP UPDATE AND BANK APS330

Key Points

  • Suncorp Life review of assumptions expected to result in approximately $500 million non-cash write-down of intangible assets

  • No impact on the Group’s cash earnings or dividends and a minimal impact of $27 million on the capital surplus

  • Suncorp Life underlying profit after tax expected to be between $75 million and $85 million in FY14

  • General Insurance natural hazard claims $75 million lower than expected between 1 January 2014 and 30 April 2014

  • General Insurance Insurance Trading Ratio (ITR) well ahead of the ‘meet or beat’ 12% target on both an underlying and reported basis

  • Impairment losses of $30 million for the March quarter, 24 basis points (bps) of gross loans

  • Group growth targets reduced to between 4% and 6% (from 7% and 9%) for the 2015 financial year to reflect current market conditions including the lower natural hazard environment in Australia and an expected reduction in reinsurance premiums

  • Suncorp Group continues to target a Return on Equity (ROE) of at least 10% in FY15

Suncorp Group today updated the market on a review of its key assumptions for Suncorp Life and provided the APS330 disclosure in line with Suncorp Bank’s quarterly reporting requirements. The Group also provided a high level update of the performance of its General Insurance business.

Suncorp Life

Suncorp has determined to materially revise claims and lapse assumptions in its Life Insurance business as part of its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2014.

The revised assumptions reflect the culmination of a detailed review of the business taking account of current industry trends and Suncorp’s more recent experience. In light of the revised assumptions, the Group has reassessed the carrying value of intangibles and goodwill associated with the Life business. The effect of this revision is expected to be as follows:

  • Write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets by approximately $350 million after tax; and

  • Loss recognition on some products and other reserving adjustments to policy liabilities of approximately $150 million after tax.

At the interim result in February 2014, Suncorp flagged the need to keep assumptions under review given the highly uncertain nature of operating conditions in the industry and the increasingly pressing need for fundamental industry reform. While the write-down will have an impact on reported NPAT for the 2014 financial year, as a non-cash item, it will have no impact on the Group’s cash earnings or dividends and a minimal impact of $27 million on the Group’s excess capital position.

Group CEO Patrick Snowball said the changed assumptions recognised the industry headwinds and deteriorating situation. The changes ensure that Suncorp is valuing Life Insurance assets and planned margins on more forward-looking assumptions rather than the historical average basis that has generally been used by the life insurance industry.

“The structural and cyclical life insurance issues have now been recognised by most life insurance companies and reinsurers, however, we are frustrated that industry change is not occurring at a more rapid pace. This is continuing to impact Suncorp Life earnings and the potential for further deterioration needs to be reflected in

our assumptions. We believe our revised approach to setting forward-looking assumptions acknowledges the structural challenges appropriately,” he said.

“The Suncorp Life business has a clear strategy in place to address the industry challenges and I’m confident in our ability to execute this plan.”

Suncorp Life expects to report an underlying profit after tax of between $75 million and $85 million for the 2014 financial year.

General Insurance

A relatively benign weather environment in Australia has resulted in General Insurance natural hazard claims being approximately $75 million below allowance for the first four months of the 2014 calendar year. For the financial year to 30 April 2014, natural hazard claims are approximately $25 million below the year to date allowance.

The General Insurance business is well progressed in the renewal of its reinsurance program for the 2015 financial year. Suncorp expects to take advantage of favourable reinsurance market conditions and is likely to renew its main catastrophe program to a limit of approximately $6 billion at a discount to the 2014 financial year program.

The Commercial Insurance business continues to focus on the management of long-tail claims with initiatives beginning to positively influence duration and average claims size. As a result, the Group expects to report prior year releases of between 1.5% and 2% of net earned premium for the 2014 financial year.

The business continues to balance price and volume growth in order to optimise margin and support the longterm health of the franchise. Lower natural hazard claims and expected reductions in reinsurance costs will impact on average written premium growth in both the 2014 and 2015 financial years. The reported and underlying ITR are currently well above the target of 12%.

“The General Insurance businesses are delivering strong returns and are benefitting from the Simplification program and supply chain initiatives such as SMART, Q-PLUS and the recently established joint venture partnership for parts procurement,” Mr Snowball said.

Suncorp Bank APS330

Suncorp Bank also provided an update on credit quality and capital as at 31 March 2014, as required under Australian Prudential Standard 330 (APS330).

Growth in the Bank's core markets of home, agribusiness and small business lending was 1.1% for the quarter, in line with system.

Suncorp Bank CEO John Nesbitt said the Bank continued to strengthen risk management with a focus on

Basel II Advanced Accreditation and ongoing market conditions.

"We have been particularly focused on the sub-80% Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) housing market through both our branch and broker distribution networks," Mr Nesbitt said.

Continued run-off of residual Non-core funding, improved deposit pricing and favourable wholesale funding markets have contributed to a significant improvement in the Bank's net interest margin (NIM), which is currently operating within the 1.75% to 1.85% target NIM range.

Impaired assets increased to $485 million. During the March quarter, the Bank had one large Agribusiness and two Commercial exposures, totalling $78 million, move to impaired status. These exposures are adequately provisioned and the largest of these exposures is likely to be resolved by 30 June 2014.

Mr Nesbitt said impairment losses of $30 million for the quarter reflected the impacts of the prolonged drought across the Agribusiness portfolio.

"The expected wet season failed to eventuate for many of our Agri customers, particularly in North West Queensland," he said.

"With the drier winter months approaching we have decided to take additional provisions in the form of a drought overlay. This prudent approach will provide additional balance sheet protection in the event the drought worsens into next year."

As a result of the drought overlay, the Bank expects to report a fourth quarter impairment charge of between $35 million and $50 million, resulting in impairment losses to gross loans for the full year of between 23bps and 27bps. Suncorp Bank expects impairment losses for the 2015 financial year to be within the target range of 10bps to 20bps of gross loans and advances.

Suncorp Group capital, dividend and FY15 targets

Mr Snowball said Suncorp’s commitment to its integrated financial services model – ‘One Company. Many Brands’ – would continue to deliver value to shareholders and customers.

“The upcoming Suncorp Investor Day will again demonstrate the value of the diversified operating model which maximises the benefits of the Group’s strategic assets of Cost, Customer, Capital and Culture.These ‘4C’ strategic assets are key to the Group delivering its FY15 targets,” he said.

Given the favourable natural hazard environment, the likely reduction in reinsurance costs and the Bank’s cautious approach to credit in the current market, the Group has revised its growth target for the 2015 financial year to between 4% to 6% (from 7% to 9% previously).

The Group will continue to target an ROE of at least 10% for the 2015 financial year.

Simplification benefits continue to be realised in line with the Group’s previous expectation of $225 million in the 2015 financial year and $265 million in the 2016 financial year.

The General Insurance business is expected to report an underlying ITR well in excess of the targeted 12%.

The Group has also reaffirmed its commitment to target a dividend payout ratio of 60% to 80% of cash earnings. The write-down of Suncorp Life intangible assets is a non-cash item that will not impact Suncorp’s capacity to pay its final 2014 dividend.

Suncorp’s pro-forma capital position at 31 December 2013, after making adjustments for the Suncorp Life write-down, is $1,112 million above CET1 targets. Therefore, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, the Group expects to be in a position to announce further capital management initiatives in conjunction with the release of its 2014 financial results on 13 August 2014.

Suncorp Group update

This update outlines Suncorp Life’s review of key assumptions in response to industry deterioration and is released in conjunction with the Suncorp Bank Australian Prudential Standard 330 quarterly reporting disclosure.

Suncorp Life has determined to materially revise claims and lapse assumptions in preparing the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2014. This revision is due to the continued deterioration in operating conditions in the life insurance industry and the completion of a detailed review of the business taking account of current industry trends and Suncorp’s more recent experience. Life insurance industry recovery is underway, although this is expected to take some time given the long tail nature of the business.

In light of these revised assumptions, the Group has reassessed the carrying value of intangibles and goodwill associated with the Life business.

The effect of these revised assumptions is expected to be a $500 million non-cash write-down as follows:

  • Write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets by approximately $350 million after tax; and

  • Loss recognition on some products and other reserving adjustments to policy liabilities of approximately $150 million after tax.

At the interim result in February 2014, Suncorp flagged the need to keep assumptions under review given the highly uncertain nature of operating conditions in the industry and the increasingly pressing need for fundamental industry reform.

The write-down of goodwill, other intangible assets and policy liabilities will have an impact on the Group’s reported net profit after tax (NPAT) for the 2014 financial year. However, as a non-cash item, it will not impact policyholder interests, cash earnings or dividends and will have a minimal impact of $27 million on the Group’s excess capital position. Suncorp Life expects to report an underlying profit after tax of between $75 million and $85 million for the 2014 financial year.

Further Suncorp Life information is detailed on page 8.

Suncorp Bank’s APS 330 as at 31 March 2014, provides an update on credit quality and capital as required under APS 330 regulatory requirements.

Growth in the Bank’s core markets of home, agribusiness and commercial (SME) lending was 1.1% for the March quarter, in line with system lending growth. In the context of ongoing market conditions and the Bank’s focus on Basel II Advanced Accreditation, risk management has been strengthened. Specifically, the Bank is targeting the sub-80% Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) housing market and continuing its strategy of geographic diversification.

Gross impaired assets increased by 16.6% due to challenging drought conditions for the Agribusiness portfolio and some individual commercial/SME accounts. Past due loans increased by 7.4% due to seasonality and hardship volumes. Gross non-performing loans remain less than 2% of the total Bank lending portfolio.

The deposit to lending ratio remains well within the target range at 66%, the Common Equity Tier One ratio (CET1) increased to 8.22% and the Bank continues to hold strong levels of physical and contingent liquidity.

Suncorp Bank’s APS 330 is detailed on page 13.

General Insurance has experienced a relatively benign weather environment in Australia resulting in natural hazard claims being approximately $75 million below allowance for the first four months of the 2014 calendar year. For the financial year to 30 April 2014, natural hazard claims are approximately $25 million below the allowance.

Group update and Suncorp Bank APS330

Group

The General Insurance business is well progressed in the renewal of its reinsurance program for the 2015 financial year. Suncorp expects to take advantage of favourable reinsurance market conditions and is likely to renew its main catastrophe program to a limit of approximately $6 billion at a discount to the 2014 financial year program.

The Commercial Insurance business continues to focus on the management of long-tail claims with initiatives beginning to positively influence duration and average claims size. As a result, the Group expects to report prior year releases of between 1.5% and 2% of net earned premium for the 2014 financial year.

The Group’s General Insurance business continues to balance price and volume growth in order to maximise margin and support the long-term health of the franchise. Lower natural hazard claims and expected reductions in reinsurance costs will impact on average written premium growth in both the 2014 and 2015 financial years.

The General Insurance business is currently well ahead of its target to ‘meet or beat’ a 12% ITR on both an underlying and reported basis.

Suncorp Group remains committed to the ‘One Company. Many Brands’ business model and will continue to extract the benefits of the Group’s strategic assets, known as the 4C’s - Cost, Capital, Customer and Culture. Suncorp continues to target a return on equity of at least 10% for the 2015 financial year.

Given the favourable natural hazard environment in Australia, the likely reduction in reinsurance costs and the Bank’s cautious approach to credit in the current market, the Group has revised its growth target for the 2015 financial year to between 4% and 6% (from 7% to 9% previously).

Suncorp Group’s capital position remains strong. This capital strength was demonstrated by the Group’s excess capital position being $1,135 million above CET1 target capital at 31 December 2013. The Group’s capital position is only minimally impacted ($27 million) by the Suncorp Life write-downs as goodwill, intangible assets and deferred acquisition costs are excluded from the capital excess position.

Pro-forma consolidated financial statements and capital positions based on 31 December 2013 accounts are shown below. These tables have been updated to include:

  • Suncorp Life changes as outlined above;

  • Suncorp’s issue of $400 million of Convertible Preference Shares (SUNPE) that was completed on 6 May (including issuance costs of $8 million);

  • Suncorp’s buy-back of Floating Rate Perpetual Notes (SBKHB) that is due to be completed on 6 June. The pro-forma tables assume that there will be a 50% ($85 million) take-up of the voluntary offer.

Based on these pro-forma tables, Suncorp’s total capital is approximately $1.5 billion above operating targets, with CET1 capital being over $1.1 billion above operating targets.

Suncorp remains committed to returning capital to shareholders that is surplus to the operational requirements of the business. Suncorp’s dividend policy is to target a payout ratio of 60% to 80% of cash earnings.

Suncorp’s detailed financial results for the full year ended 30 June 2014 will be released on 13 August 2014.

Note: The Suncorp Life impacts are broadly capital neutral as the adjustments are to inadmissible assets (DAC, intangibles, goodwill and deferred tax assets). The increase of $20 million to the Life Prescribed Capital Amount (PCA) is due to the strengthening of claims assumptions which increases the prudential margins under the insurance risk charge.

Overview

The outlook for the life insurance industry has been very uncertain for some time, with deteriorating lapse and claims experience across the industry, to which Suncorp Life has not been immune.

There is collective acknowledgment from insurers, re-insurers, regulators and government on the challenges the life insurance industry faces. Many participants have reported losses and changes to assumptions to reflect the adverse experience over the past three years. Suncorp has been transparent on the challenges and active in consideration of assumptions over this period.

More recently there has been a range of responses to pricing and product structures, making it now clear a recovery is underway to a more sustainable footing. However, this recovery will take time due to life insurance being a long tail business and ongoing obligations to existing in-force customers.

Suncorp Life’s first half results reported negative experience relative to long term assumptions and flagged that assumptions would be reviewed again at the full year:

“The rapid pace of change and high degree of economic and industry uncertainty make the setting of key assumptions extremely challenging. In this result, Life has again adjusted its lapse assumptions to take account of more recent experience. Suncorp will review assumptions again at the full year in light of industry and strategic developments.”

This negative experience has continued into the second half of the 2014 financial year, mainly in the Australia Independent Financial Advice (IFA) business. In addition, a review has been completed, taking into account the broader industry outlook.

Management is focused on optimising the value of the business and has a clear strategy in place to further address the challenges.

Assumption changes

In this context, Suncorp has made a decision to reset the long term assumptions for the Life business.

It has been deemed appropriate to reconsider the traditional industry practice for assumptions setting of using “historical averages” to a more forward looking basis. The use of historical averages has contributed to ongoing adverse experience for Life as conditions have steadily worsened with changing customer and industry dynamics.

This change in approach explicitly reflects the time Suncorp Life believes it will take for the industry to work through the structural challenges (product design, premium structures and IFA remuneration) and recognises the potential for dislocation as the industry transitions and then recovers in the medium term.

Set out below are illustrative examples of the rebasing of claims and lapse assumptions, reflecting:

  • Short term assumption strengthening reflects industry experience and impact of industry remediation actions; and

  • Recovery to longer term assumptions due to a combination of industry and Suncorp Life initiatives.

Impact

The reset assumptions are expected to impact the financial result for the year ended 30 June 2014 as follows:

  • A Suncorp Group non-cash write-down of approximately $500 million, comprising of:

  • Write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets by approximately $350 million after tax

  • Loss recognition on some products and other reserving adjustments to policy liabilities of approximately $150 million after tax

  • Embedded Value is expected to be approximately $1.7 billion at 30 June 2014; and

  • Minimal impact of $27 million on the capital position or of Suncorp Life and the Group as the balance sheet adjustments are predominantly to “inadmissible assets”.

Life has four key lines of business – IFA Australia, Direct Australia (Direct), Superannuation Australia and New Zealand. The impact of the assumption changes is largely in the IFA Australia business, with only nominal adjustments across the other business lines, including New Zealand.

The 2014 financial year guidance for Suncorp Life is an underlying profit after tax of between $75 million and $85 million.

The re-set of the assumptions, including the strengthening announced for the six months to 31 December 2013, will reduce planned margins, however, the underlying profit for 2015 financial year is expected to be marginally higher than the 2014 financial year guidance.

Life

Customer impact

Suncorp Life’s strategy centers on putting the customer at the forefront. The re-setting of the assumptions has no adverse impact on customers.

Outlook

Suncorp Life is executing against its strategic agenda and managing the areas within its control. As a result of the detailed review, the Life business model has been comprehensively reorganised around the customer and the expense base has been adjusted to reflect the short term industry outlook. In addition the capital position has been significantly enhanced with the release of $535 million in the past year.

Suncorp Life is also delivering on a number of key initiatives to address the structural challenges:

  • Customer

  • Customer at the forefront - providing an uplifting service to our customers and leveraging LEAN

  • Industrialising retention activities and broadening the range of customer contacts

  • Applying a customer outcome focus to claims and integrating learnings from General Insurance

 Product

  • Targeted repricing to address product economics for on-sale Term, Income Protection (IP) and Trauma products

  • Simplifying product structures and providing more flexible premium structures

  • Leveraging the Group’s General Insurance Pricing Engine (GIPE) to implement more granular risk-based pricing

 Distribution

  • Roll-out of the Adviser Value proposition premised on value over volume and providing a tiered service level to IFA segments

  • Driving down the cost of acquisition through changed commission mix and increased automation (e.g. electronic applications)

  • Bringing Direct manufacturing in house and continuing to grow the Direct customer base (currently around 90,000 customers)

Whilst there remains a need for industry wide action to address the challenges, Suncorp Life is confident in delivering against its committed course of action.

Suncorp Bank

Overview

System credit growth remained subdued during the third quarter, significantly below long term historical averages. Growth in the Bank’s core retail and business segments grew in line with system, reflecting a cautious approach to credit in a challenging environment.

Suncorp Bank has continued to strengthen its risk management in line with the Basel II Advanced Accreditation initiative and ongoing market conditions. This has encompassed revised risk selection and a review of the quality of the Bank’s balance sheet. Focus on credit quality has been enhanced, including changes to underwriting standards. Specifically, the Bank is targeting the sub-80% LVR housing market and continuing its strategy of geographic diversification.

Lending growth is supported by a diversified funding strategy with the Bank having access to a range of stable retail and wholesale funding markets. The deposit to lending ratio remains well within the target range at 66%, the Common Equity Tier One ratio (CET1) increased to 8.22% and the Bank continues to hold strong levels of physical and contingent liquidity.

The Bank’s impaired asset volumes increased to $485 million. During the quarter, the Bank had one Agribusiness and two Commercial exposures, totalling $78 million, move to impaired status. These exposures are adequately provisioned and the largest is likely to be resolved by 30 June 2014.

Drought overlay

Conditions remain challenging, particularly given the impact of the prolonged drought on the Agribusiness portfolio. The Bank will take a prudent approach to provisioning in the June quarter given the expectation of continued drought conditions into the 2015 financial year. Accordingly it expects to report a fourth quarter impairment charge of between $35 million and $50 million. This would result in total impairment losses to gross loans for the 2014 financial year of between 23bps and 27bps. Suncorp Bank expects impairment losses for the 2015 financial year to be within the target range of 10bps to 20bps of gross loans and advances.

Retail lending

The retail lending portfolio grew 1.1% to $39.2 billion (including securitised assets). Growth is in line with system which is growing well below long term trends.

The focus on improving credit quality is reflected in lower disbursements in the home lending portfolio as the Bank targets the below 80% LVR market. Geographic diversification continues through a now wellestablished interstate footprint and intermediated offerings.

The consumer lending portfolio, comprising personal loans and margin lending, decreased 1.3%. Higher repayment rates associated with ongoing consumer deleveraging continue to impact this portfolio.

Bank

Business lending

Commercial (SME)

The Bank’s SME portfolio increased to $5.8 billion, up 1.4%. Growth was broad based across various industries. Portfolio geographic diversification continues with the strategic move to drive interstate SME lending.

Agribusiness

The Agribusiness portfolio increased to $4.6 billion, up 1.7% over the quarter. Growth has moderated as the Bank takes a measured approach to risk selection in the current environment. The Bank has a long heritage in Agribusiness and remains committed to this segment.

Corporate and property

The corporate and property portfolio reduced by $51 million to $247 million, with runoff in both the performing and impaired portfolios.

Impairment losses were $30 million.

The $10 million increase in the collective provision is driven by a seasonal increase in home lending past dues and growth in the Commercial book. Overall the impairment losses of 24 bps of gross loans and advances are above the Bank’s target range of 10bps to 20bps.

Ongoing drought conditions and a subdued rural property market have heightened stress across the Agribusiness segment. With indicators suggesting continued pressure over the near term, the level of provision coverage will be boosted by a prudent drought overlay in the fourth quarter.

Impaired assets

Gross impaired assets increased $69 million or 16.6%, with one Agribusiness and two Commercial exposures totalling $78 million moving to impaired status. Despite the increase, gross impaired assets represent less than 1% of the total lending portfolio.

The overall number of impaired accounts remains relatively low. Drought conditions in North West Queensland are a contributing factor in relation to the increase in Agribusiness impaired assets.

The largest impaired Commercial exposure is likely to be resolved by 30 June 2014.

Past due loans (not shown as impaired)

Past due loans increased by $33 million or 7.4%, driven by seasonality and an increase in hardship volumes.

Past due loans reported at 31 March 2014 include loans that are now meeting regular repayment requirements and will ultimately return to performing status. At 31 March, there are $45 million of loans that have met payment requirements for longer than three months and will be reclassified during the June quarter. Whilst past due loans remain at the high end of the Bank’s historical performance, the Bank’s level of impairments in housing loans remains low.

(1) The securitisation exposures of $3,359 million included under “Loans advances and other receivables” qualify for regulatory capital relief under APS 120 and therefore do not contribute to the Bank’s Total gross credit risk. The remaining securitisation exposures carry credit risk commensurate with their respective asset classes in accordance with APS 120.

(2) “Credit commitments” and “Derivative instruments” represent the credit equivalent amount of the Bank’s off-balance sheet exposures calculated in accordance with APS 112.

(3) Total loans, advances and other receivables include receivables due from related parties.

(4) Receivables due from other Banks include collateral deposits provided to derivative counterparties.
