  • Gross impaired loans reduced over the half due to improving credit quality in the Agribusiness and Commercial portfolios, an improvement in the Agriculture environment, the finalisation of longer running Banking recovery exposures and receipts from secured asset sales

  • Retail impaired assets increased over the half, partially due to more active management of long dated arrears

  • Gross impaired loans over $10 million have decreased consistently since 1H15 due to improved risk selection

Housing has clearly

slowed

  • Australian housing has slowed amid increased supply, reduced offshore demand and higher rates for certain mortgage categories

  • To date, the indicators are more consistent with softer activity than a sharp downturn

  • Our analysis of supply suggests that while there may be pockets of oversupply, it is not a nationwide issue due to the underbuilding before 2014

  • Suncorp only lends to experienced developers, with the majority of individual development finance loans under $20 million

Opportunities and risks

  • Stronger global activity is boosting commodity prices and Australia’s resource export outlook

  • Rising fuel prices will lift inflation yet potentially impact household budgets

  • Elevated household debt represents a risk. However, mortgage arrears are low and the RBA has observed that “most indicators of household financial stress remain fairly benign” (October 2017)

Reinsurance A form of insurance for insurance companies where, in exchange for an agreed premium, the reinsurer agrees to pay all or a share of certain
claims incurred by the insurance company. Suncorp's reinsurance arrangements currently include a main catastrophe program, a 30 percent,
multi-year, proportional quota share arrangement to reduce geographic concentration to the Queensland home insurance market and a natural
hazards aggregate protection cover
Reserve releases Reserve releases occur when provisions made to cover insurance claims made against underwritten policies are assessed as higher than long-
run trends in actual experience
Return on average shareholders'
equity
Net profit after tax divided by average equity attributable to owners of the Company. Averages are based on monthly balances over the period.
The ratio is annualised for half years
Return on average total assets Net profit after tax divided by average total assets. Averages are based on beginning and end of period balances. The ratio is annualised for
half years
Return on Common Equity Tier 1 Net profit after tax adjusted for dividends paid on capital notes divided by average Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. Average Common Equity Tier
1 Capital is based on the monthly balance of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital over the period. The ratio is annualised for half years
Shareholders' funds Shareholders' funds are part of the investment portfolio and are managed separately from insurance funds
Short-tail Classes of insurance business involving coverage for risks where claims are usually known and settled within 12 months
Top-line growth Top-line growth is derived from a weighted-average calculation of underlying year-on-year growth in Suncorp Group’s key business segments.
Top-line growth percentage is calculated as growth in short-tail and long-tail insurance gross written premium (excluding impacts of one-off
items from time to time that can distort the underlying trend, such as South Australia CTP in 1H17 in recognition of the impact of acquiring that
book in 1H18) (65% weighting), growth in retail and business lending assets (weighting 25%) and growth in life insurance in-force premium
(10% weighting)
