Aviva plc Third Quarter 2013

Interim Management Statement

 

 

Mark Wilson, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

 

"Progress is in line with our expectations and we remain focused on delivering cash flow plus growth. In the first nine months of 2013 our key measure of growth, value of new business, increased by 14%. We had strong performances from France and our growth markets of Turkey, Poland and Asia. Conversely, value of new business remains depressed in our turnaround businesses of Italy and Spain, and this is being addressed.

 

"Capital generation in the period was stable at £1.3 billion and our economic capital surplus now stands at £8 billion. We continue to make satisfactory progress on cost reduction, with operating expenses 10% below the 2011 baseline.

 

"Aviva remains in the early stages of turnaround. Whilst we have resolved a key issue in the disposal of our US business and have made progress in a number of areas, there remains much work to be done."

Group Chief Executive Officer's report

 

 

 

 

Overview

 

Performance in the first nine months of 2013 has been satisfactory. In line with our investment thesis
of `cash flow plus growth', operating capital generation was stable and we have increased the value of new business. We are on track with our cost cutting programme and the combined operating ratio
of our general insurance business was broadly unchanged at 96.9% (9M12: 96.7%).

 

On the 2nd October we completed the sale of the US business which is an important step in simplifying Aviva. We also made a number of senior management changes recently to ensure we have the right team to take Aviva forward.

 

 

 

Operating Capital Generation

 

n Operating capital generation stable
at £1.3 billion

 

In March we set out Aviva's investment thesis, `cash flow plus growth' and our focus is on improving dividends paid by our business units to Group. Operating capital generation (OCG) is a precursor to cash remitted to Group and in the first nine months, OCG was stable at £1.3 billion (9M12: £1.3 billion). Lower capital generation due to floods in Canada was more than offset by expense reductions across Aviva and lower new business strain. Historically the remittance ratios from OCG to dividends have been materially lower than our peers, and improving this ratio remains an absolute priority.

 

 

 

Expenses

 

n Operating expenses of £2,277 million 10% lower than 2011 baseline.

 

 

 

Reducing our expense base is essential to the transformation of Aviva and improving cash flows. We have made further progress in this area, and operating expenses are 10% below the 2011 baseline expense level and 7% lower year-on-year. We are on track to deliver a cost-base in 2014 which is £400 million lower than 2011, regardless of the impact of inflation.

 

Integration and restructuring costs at Aviva have been historically high and an impediment to cash remitted to Group. In the first nine months of 2013 restructuring costs fell 21% to £198 million. In line with our previous indications, we expect restructuring costs for 2013 to be lower than the 2012 level of £461 million and materially lower in 2014.

 

 

 

Value of new business

 

n Value of new business up 14%
to £571 million7

 

n Increase driven by France and our growth markets
of Poland, Turkey and Asia

 

 

Value of new business (VNB) is our key measure of growth. Over the first nine months of the year VNB improved 14% to £571 million7 (9M12: £503 million). In line with our previous guidance we expect overall growth of VNB to moderate in the final quarter of the year primarily due to a strong 4Q 2012.

 

Our two major life cash-generators, UK and France, increased VNB by 5% and 33% respectively. In the UK deliberate actions to improve margin led to an increase in VNB and lower volumes, both in line with our expectations.

 

In France, VNB increased 33%. This was mainly driven by outperformance from our AFER network and a shift in Aviva's business mix towards higher margin unit linked and protection products across all channels.

 

In the first nine months of 2013, our growth markets of Poland, Turkey and Asia7 increased VNB by 48%, 40% and 43% respectively. Collectively, these businesses grew by 44% and contributed 22% of Group VNB (9M12: 18%).

 

In Spain and Italy - two of our turnaround businesses - the value of new business fell to £19 million and £7 million respectively (9M12: £32 million, £19 million). Actions are underway to improve performance in both of these businesses including focusing more on protection and unit-linked products and potentially exiting unprofitable distribution agreements.

 

 

 

Combined
operating ratio

 

n COR stable at 96.9%

 

In general insurance the combined operating ratio (COR) remained stable at 96.9% (9M12: 96.7%) reflecting the benefit of our geographic diversification. In the UK COR was 95.5%, as a result of lower expenses and favourable weather conditions. We expect the losses from the UK storms in October to be in the region of £10 million. In Canada COR was 95.2% despite the impact of two 1:100 year floods. Across our general insurance businesses in Europe, the COR was 98.3% (9M12: 99.5%) with improved profitability in Italy and Poland offsetting a deterioration in France mainly due to adverse weather.

 

Net written premiums in our general insurance and health business were 2% lower at £6,604 million (9M12: £6,735 million). Growth in Canada was more than offset by a 6% reduction in UK GI volumes due to a combination of the softening personal lines rate environment and a shift in business mix in UK motor.

Balance sheet

 

n IFRS net asset value per share 273p

 

n Pro forma economic capital at £8.0 billion

 

n Completed sale of US business for US$2.6 billion8

 

 

The IFRS net asset value per share decreased by 3% to 273p. Profits in the period and additional proceeds from the sale of the US were offset by foreign exchange movements and a reduction in the accounting surplus on the Aviva staff pension scheme on an IAS19 basis.

 

Maintaining a healthy capital position is an important priority and the pro forma economic capital surplus was £8.0 billion, a coverage ratio of 178%.

 

In October we completed the sale of Aviva USA, which is an important development for the company. Transaction proceeds were higher than previously announced at US$2.6 billion8 (£1.6 billion), further strengthening the Group's capital position.

The balance of our inter-company loan remains unchanged from our last reporting date at £5.1 billion. We continue to see a substantial reduction in the loan over the next couple of years as one of our key priorities and remain in active dialogue with our regulator about the ultimate level and the options for achieving it.  

 

The Polish government's review of the Pillar II pension system continues. Our current expectation is that the potential legislative change would reduce our Poland pensions' value in force (VIF) by between
£150 million and £400 million, in line with our previous guidance. This reduction has not been reflected in these results due to the continuing significant level of uncertainty.

 

 

Management

 

One of the priorities this year has been to strengthen the senior management team. It is critical that we have the best possible leadership team so that Aviva can achieve its potential. We have made two important appointments recently. In September Maurice Tulloch was appointed Chief Executive Officer of our UK & Ireland general insurance business, and in October Greg Somerville became Chief Executive of Aviva Canada. Both Maurice and Greg have long track records of success at Aviva. Their appointments build on the changes that have been made to the senior management team in the first half of the year.

 

 

Outlook

 

In summary, overall operating performance continues to be satisfactory and Aviva is where I thought it would be at this point in its transformation. Although the macroeconomic environment is showing signs of improvement, our plans do not require this. The turnaround at Aviva is still in its infancy; we have made progress this year and whilst there is room for optimism there remains much to do.
