1 The Group adopted the amendments to IAS19 and IFRS10 during the period and the requirements of the revised standards have been applied retrospectively. See note B1 for details.

2 Cash remittances include amounts received from Aviva Insurance Limited in January 2014 in respect of 2013 activity.

3 The economic capital surplus and IGD solvency surplus represent an estimated position. The economic capital requirement is based on Aviva's own internal assessment and capital management policies. The term 'economic capital' does not imply capital as required by regulators or other third parties.

4 At FY13 there is no pro forma basis for economic capital and IGD surplus. The FY13 economic capital surplus includes the allowance for staff pension scheme deficits on a fully funded basis under stressed conditions. The pro forma economic capital and IGD surplus at FY12 includes the benefit of completing the US Life, Aseval, Delta Lloyd and Malaysia transactions and, for economic capital only, an increase in pension scheme risk allowance from five to ten years of stressed contributions.

5 In preparing the MCEV information, the directors have done so in accordance with the European Insurance CFO Forum MCEV Principles with the exception of stating held for sale operations at their expected fair value, as represented by expected sale proceeds, less cost to sell.

Cash

1.i - Cash remitted to Group

The flow of sustainable cash remittances from the Group's businesses is a key financial priority. The cash remittances for FY13 from continuing operations, excluding the United States and Delta Lloyd, were £1,269 million (FY12: £904 million). The 2013 totals include amounts received from Aviva Insurance Limited in January 2014 in respect of 2013 activity in that business and its subsidiaries.

1 FY13 dividend from UKGI of £347 million was remitted to Group in January 2014.

The improvement in cash remitted to Group is primarily driven by increased remittances from our businesses in UK life, Ireland life and UK general insurance. In addition, higher remittances were also received from our businesses in France, Poland and Italy, reflecting the benefit of management actions.

1.ii - Operating capital generation

The active management of the generation and utilisation of capital is a primary Group focus, balancing new business investment and shareholder distribution to deliver our "Cash flow plus growth" investment thesis.

	2013 £m	Restated 2012 £m
Operating capital generation:
Life in-force business¹	1,530	1,703
General insurance, fund management and other operations	577	534
Operating capital generated before investment in new business - continuing operations (excluding Delta Lloyd)	2,107	2,237

Operating capital generated after investment in new business - continuing operations (excluding Delta Lloyd)	1,772	1,859
United States and Delta Lloyd	195	123
Group as reported	1,967	1,982

1 The Life in-force business in FY12 excludes the negative impact from a true up relating to a prior estimate of required capital. The change in estimate of £88 million is included in MCEV note F9, but excluded from above as it does not impact the actual capital generated in 2012.

Operating capital generation comprises the following components:

- Operating free surplus emergence, including release of required capital, for the life in-force business (net of tax and non-controlling interests);

- Operating profits for the general insurance and other non-life businesses net of tax and non-controlling interests from non-covered business only, where non-covered business is that which is outside the scope of life MCEV methodology.

- Capital invested in new business. For life business this is the impact of initial and required capital on free surplus. For general insurance business this reflects the movement in required capital, which has been assumed to equal the regulatory minimum multiplied by the local management target level. Where appropriate movements in capital requirements exclude the impact of foreign exchange and other movements deemed to be non-operating in nature.

- Post deconsolidation on 6 May 2011, all Delta Lloyd business (including its life, general insurance, fund management and non-insurance segments) has been included in OCG on an IFRS basis (net of taxation and non-controlling interests).

- Post classification as held for sale in Q4 2012, the United States business (including its life, fund management and non-insurance segments that have been announced to be sold) was no longer managed on an MCEV basis so it has been included in OCG on an IFRS basis (net of taxation).

The amount of operating capital remitted to Group is dependent upon a number of factors including non-operating items and local regulatory requirements.

1 Operating profit net of tax and non-controlling interests from non-covered businesses only, where non-covered business is that which is outside the scope of life MCEV methodology.

2 This reflects the movement in required capital, which has been assumed to equal the regulatory minimum multiplied by the local management target level. Where appropriate movements in capital requirements exclude the impact
of foreign exchange and other movements deemed to be non-operating in nature.

3 The FY12 'other/management actions' figure in Europe excludes the negative impact of a true-up relating to a prior estimate of required capital. The change in estimate of £88 million is included in MCEV Note F9, but excluded from Life OCG as it does not impact the actual capital generated in 2012.

Operating capital generation (OCG) on a continuing basis, excluding the US and Delta Lloyd, is £1,772 million, down 5% compared to prior year (FY12: £1,859 million). Positive new business strain in the UK reflects annuity repricing action. Within the overall total, expense savings benefits across the group within OCG have been more than offset by the impact of Canadian flood costs and a lower level of benefits from management actions, particularly financial reinsurance transactions in UK Life. The expected free surplus emergence (shown in note 1.iii) taken with the expected contribution from new life business and non-life business, demonstrates that the current level of OCG is sustainable and underpins the future cash remittances from businesses to Group.

1 Cashflow profiles exclude all held for sale operations.

The table above shows the expected future emergence of profits from the existing business implicit in the equivalent embedded value calculation for life covered in-force business. The cash flows have been split for the first ten years followed by five year tranches depending on the date when the profit is expected to emerge. These profits, which arise from the release of margins in the regulatory reserves as the business runs-off over time, are expected to emerge through operating capital generation (OCG) in future years. The cash flows are based on the non-economic assumptions used in the MCEV and normalised investment returns.

For existing business, the cash flows will generally reduce over time due to lapses, maturities and other benefit payments. Each year new business will increase these profits, following the initial strain at point of sale. This table only includes the business currently in-force.

The expected return in the OCG of £1,234 million (see note 1.ii) is broadly equal to the year 1 cash flow from 31 December 2012 of £1,190 million. The 2013 total of £1,234 million includes the expected transfers from the value in force (VIF) and required capital to free surplus of £1,217 million (MCEV section, note F8) and also the free surplus component of the expected return on net worth, which equals £17 million.

The total real world cash flows have increased over 2013, largely reflecting the expected future cash flows from new business and higher real world returns partly offset by the expected run-off of the existing business and the regulatory changes in Poland relating to pension funds.

The free surplus emergence in the table above only includes business written in the RIEESA when conditions for its release to shareholders are expected to have been met, which is currently in year 4.

Overall, operating profit has increased by £123 million to £2,049 million (FY12: £1,926 million), with the main movements being operating expense savings of £228 million, partly offset by the costs of the Canadian floods in June and July (total impact to Group of £129 million). In addition there are two large one-off items included in these results - a curtailment gain of £145 million relating to the Ireland pension scheme and a charge of £132 million relating to compensation payments (see A1 - Other operations for further details). The net impact of these on operating profit is a gain of £13 million.

Within the UK general insurance business, long term investment return has reduced by £113 million, of which £78 million is a result of the restructure of the internal loan at the start of 2013 (which is neutral at an overall Group level).

The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 19 during the period (see note B1 for details) and the requirements of the revised standard have been applied retrospectively in accordance with the transition provision. This has resulted in an increase in operating profit for the full year 2012 of £150 million, with a corresponding decrease in other comprehensive income.

2 As reported within Net claims and benefits paid of £22,093 million (FY12: £23,601 million).

3 As reported within Fee and commission expense of £3,975 million (FY12: £4,457 million).

Overall operating expenses for the period were £3,006 million (FY12: £3,234 million), a reduction of £228 million compared with prior year. The overall 2011 base-line for the Group-wide expense reduction target is £3,366 million⁴, meaning that £360 million of savings out of the £400 million target to be delivered by the end of 2014 have been realised to date.

Significant cost reductions have been made in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Both the life and general insurance businesses have achieved savings by reducing headcount for both permanent staff and contractor positions, lowering levels of property spend through renegotiation of leases or exiting property and reducing consultancy spend.

Total operating expenses of our European markets have reduced by 3% compared to 2012 (7% on a constant currency basis) with lower costs in all markets on a constant currency basis.

Aviva Investors has reduced operating expenses by £16 million, reflecting lower staff-related expenditure as a result of the restructuring initiatives implemented in 2012. Other Group activities, which include Group centre costs, have improved, particularly as a result of regional head office reductions and closures, including Aviva Europe and Aviva North America in 2012.

c) Integration and restructuring costs

Integration and restructuring costs from continuing operations were £363 million (FY12: £461 million) and mainly include expenses associated with the Group's transformation programme. Compared with the prior period, integration and restructuring costs reduced by 21% as transformation activity in UK and Ireland's general insurance business in 2012 was not repeated and Solvency II implementation costs reduced to £79 million (FY12: £117 million).

The Group's value of new business¹ (VNB) increased by 12% to £836 million (FY12: £746 million). The growth was primarily driven by strong performances in France, the UK & Ireland, Poland and Asia, partially offset by reductions in Italy and Spain.

Overall new business volumes were broadly neutral, with reductions in the UK and Ireland and parts of Asia offset by increases in France, Poland, Italy, Turkey and Singapore. New business margin increased to 4.1% (FY12: 3.6%) (on a PVNBP basis) as businesses continued to focus on growing new business value.

In the UK, VNB growth was achieved through improved margins, mainly as a result of pricing actions taken in the second half of 2012 in the UK annuity book. Volumes in the UK reduced significantly in the period, reflecting the strong focus on improving value and capital efficiency. Ireland's VNB also improved reflecting the sale of the Ark business, which produced negative VNB in the prior period, and a focus on higher margin product lines, particularly protection and annuities, in addition to expense efficiencies.

In Europe improvements were largely driven by growth in France, Poland and Turkey, offset by reductions in Italy and Spain. In France the VNB increased by 39%, driven by increased volumes and a shift towards higher margin unit-linked products. Poland's VNB increased by 46% largely due to an increase in sales of unit-linked products and expense reductions, and Turkey's VNB increased by 23% due to an increase in sales of higher margin protection products. In Italy, lower risk-free rates impacted margins on with-profits business, particularly in Eurovita, which is held for sale. Excluding Eurovita, VNB increased by £4 million, principally due to management action to reduce guarantees on with-profits policies. In Spain, market conditions remained difficult, with VNB decreasing by 19% (excluding Aseval) due to lower volumes of protection business, particularly higher margin mortgage-linked products, as a result of the continuing contraction of the Spanish mortgage market.

Excluding Malaysia and Sri Lanka, which have both now been sold, VNB in Asia increased by 65% to £91 million (FY12: £55 million), reflecting an increase in sales of higher margin products, particularly protection business in Singapore, China, and India. Expense savings in Singapore also had a positive impact on VNB.

On a net of tax and non-controlling interest basis, the Group's VNB increased by 17% to £593 million (FY12: £505 million).

Group combined operating ratio (COR) for the period is 97.3% (FY12: 97.0%) with the adverse impact of extreme flooding in Canada offsetting improvements in UK & Ireland and Europe.

During June there was extreme flooding in Alberta, Canada. This 1 in 100 year event has impacted the group result at FY13 by £84 million (net of reinsurance). At the start of July 2013, there was also flooding in Toronto which has further impacted the FY13 group result by £45 million (net of reinsurance). Of the total impact of these two floods, £62 million is included in the results for Canada and £67 million is in the results of our internal reinsurance company, Aviva Re. The adverse impact on Group COR of these two events is 1.6pp.

In the UK and Ireland, GI COR has improved by 1.4pp to 97.2% (FY12: 98.6%), reflecting an improvement in the claims ratio partially offset by a slightly higher commission ratio. In the UK, favourable movements in the claims ratio are largely driven by favourable weather and large loss experience, partly offset by some adverse prior year development. The small adverse movement in commission ratio is due to higher profit share commissions, as a result of favourable weather. In Ireland the COR has improved to 99.2% (FY12: 102.3%) mainly due to an improvement in the claims ratio as a result of good weather and favourable prior year claims experience, partly offset by higher commissions, as a result of a change in distribution structure. Ireland remains in the early stages of its turnaround and there remains significant work to be done.

Europe's GI COR has improved by 1.3pp to 98.1% (FY12: 99.4%), reflecting an improvement across all components. Improvements in the claims ratio are largely driven by improved underwriting discipline and lower losses in Italy and Turkey, partly offset by a deterioration in France, largely driven by unfavourable weather in the second half of the year, and a small deterioration in Poland. Improvements in the commission and expense ratio reflecting management actions on expense efficiencies.

We continue to apply our reserving policy consistently and to focus on understanding the true cost of claims to ensure that reserves are maintained at a robust level. Prior year reserve movements will vary year to year but our business is predominantly short tail in nature and the loss development experience is generally stable. In FY13 we have had a positive prior year development in our GI & health business, benefitting operating profit by £77 million (FY12: £84 million benefit to operating profit).

Cash

During the year total cash remitted to Group was £370 million, up 147% from 2012, giving a remittance ratio of 62% (FY12: 22%). The UK Life business paid a dividend of £300 million in the first half of the year, an increase from £150 million in 2012. In July Ireland paid a dividend to Group of £70 million (FY12: nil) as progress on the turnaround of the Irish business continues.

Operating Capital Generation

Operating Capital Generation was down 14% to £595 million (FY12: £688 million). There was a slight increase on an underlying basis after adjusting for a prior year reinsurance transaction which contributed c.£100 million. Continued focus on cost reduction and pricing discipline have reduced the new business strain (FY13: £17 million favourable, FY12: £37 million strain).

Operating profit: IFRS basis

UK & Ireland life operating profit for FY13 was £952 million (FY12: £892 million). Within this total the UK life operating profit was £930 million, an increase of 5%. After adjusting for a net benefit from non-recurring items of £66 million in FY13 relating to longevity assumption changes and £74 million in FY12 which included the release of a longevity transaction reserve, life operating profit in the UK increased by 6%. This increase was due to expense reductions and pricing discipline. Ireland operating profit was up to £22 million (FY12: £5 million) as we continue to make progress in turning the business around.

Expenses

UK operating expenses reduced by 16% to £569 million (FY12: £675 million). Cost reduction actions include the de-layering of management structures, distribution rationalisation and prioritisation of IT and change initiatives. In the UK integration and restructuring costs were £44 million (FY12: £48 million), including the costs of Solvency II implementation and other project costs.

Ireland operating expenses reduced 38% to £38 million (FY12: £61 million) with the reduction principally driven by the removal of the Ark Life business. Restructuring and integration costs were £15 million (FY12: £23 million).

Value of new business

Value of new business increased 7% to £441 million (FY12: £412 million). In the UK, VNB was up 4% to £435 million (FY12: £420 million), reflecting the focus on value through disciplined pricing and cost reductions. In Ireland VNB was up £14 million to £6 million (FY12: £(8) million) as a result of a strategic shift in business mix to more profitable products and the sale of the Ark Life business.

Cash

Following the inter-company loan restructure in 2013, dividends from the business increased to £347 million, a remittance ratio of 93%. The 2013 total remittances include amounts received from Aviva Insurance Limited in January 2014 in respect of 2013 activity in that business and its subsidiaries. Dividends will normally be received in Q4 each year.

Operating Capital Generation

Operating Capital Generation in 2013 was £374 million (FY12: £376 million) in line with the previous year.

Operating profit: IFRS basis

UK and Ireland General insurance and health operating profit was £489 million (FY12: £502 million). The movement in operating profit includes a £122 million reduction in the total UK and Ireland general insurance investment return, of which £78 million reflects the revised terms of the internal loan, which is neutral at an overall Group level. This has been partly offset by an improved GI underwriting result of £123 million (FY12: £42 million). Underwriting performance in the year benefitted from benign weather, the impact of which was favourable compared to both expectations and 2012 despite claims totaling £60 million for the December storms and flooding. The result also included favourable large loss experience and lower expenses.

In UK general insurance, personal lines business continues to perform well in challenging markets and while overall commercial profitability continues to show an improvement, performance by class is mixed. We continue to monitor the impact of regulatory reforms in the UK and their implication for future claims costs and pricing.

Over the year, net written premiums (NWP) from UK general insurance declined 6% to £3,823 million (FY12: £4,062 million). This reduction is primarily driven by £123 million in SME commercial lines, reflecting remedial actions to improve the profitability of the book, and £107 million in personal motor as a result of disciplined underwriting in a competitive market.

Expenses

Total expenses (including integration and restructuring costs) have fallen by £154 million to £842 million (FY12: £996 million).

UK general insurance total expenses have improved by 6% to £711 million (FY12: £756 million), including the impact of a reduction in headcount and other actions taken to mitigate reduced volumes.

Ireland GI and health expenses improved materially, reducing to £131 million (FY12: £240 million) including restructuring and integration costs. The reduction in cost base forms a key component of the turnaround strategy for this business.

2 General insurance business only.

The overall UK & Ireland general insurance combined operating ratio (COR) has improved to 97.2% (FY12: 98.6%).

UK general insurance COR improved to 97.0% (FY12: 98.3%), with a positive impact of lower weather-related claims, compared with 2012 and favourable large loss experience. UK prior year reserves saw an overall strengthening of £18 million (FY12: £17 million).

Market conditions in the UK for personal motor remain challenging with increased competition during the period and uncertainty caused by the implementation of regulatory reforms. Against this backdrop, the personal motor COR has improved slightly to 96% (FY12: 97%) as a result of our disciplined underwriting. Homeowner COR has improved to 87% (FY12: 93%), reflecting favourable weather and the continued focus on risk selection and pricing.

Conditions in commercial lines continue to be challenging. In UK & Ireland profitability has improved with a combined operating ratio of 103% (FY12: 104.6%). There has been a benefit from the actions taken to remediate unprofitable business and favourable claims experience in commercial property, which has been partly offset by a strengthening of prior year reserves in UK commercial motor.

Performance in Ireland has improved with an overall COR of 99.2% (FY12: 102.3%), driven by a reduction in claims ratio resulting from improved weather and favourable prior year claims experience.

1 Our European businesses include life and general insurance business written in France, Poland, Italy, and Turkey, life business in Spain and health business in France.

Cash

Cash remitted to Group increased by 13% to £388 million (FY12: £343 million). This includes increased remittances from France (up 16% to £235 million), Poland (up 21% to £85 million) and Italy (FY13: £12 million; 2012: nil). These increases were partly offset by a reduction from Spain, reflecting the extraordinary dividend received from the retail business in 2012 and impact of the disposal of Aseval.

Operating capital generation

Operating capital generation (OCG) of £558 million is marginally below prior year (FY12: £571 million), with increases in Poland, Italy and Turkey offset by reductions in France and Spain (due to the disposal of Aseval).

Life operating profit: IFRS basis

Life operating profit reduced by 2% (6% in local currency) to £851 million (FY12: £869 million). Excluding the disposal of Aseval, Life operating profit increased by 5% primarily driven by increases in France and Poland, partly offset by reductions in Spain and Italy. In France, operating profit increased by 15% to £385 million (FY12: £335 million) mainly as a result of higher new business and increased margins. In Poland life operating profit improved by 7% to £164 million (FY12: £153 million), due to lower expenses and higher assets under management. In Spain, operating profit of £150 million was £65 million lower than prior year principally reflecting the sale of Aseval. In Italy life operating profit was £142 million, down 11% against prior year as 2012 benefitted from a one-off reinsurance transaction.

General insurance & health operating profit: IFRS basis

Operating profits of £112 million (FY12: £98 million) are up 14% (7% on a local currency basis). In Italy profits improved by 75% to £35 million (FY12: £20 million). This strong performance was driven by pricing and underwriting actions and lower claims frequency in motor. In Poland, operating profit of £9 million was stable. In France, operating profit was down 12% to £84 million (FY12: £95 million) largely due to reserves strengthening and adverse weather experience. Operating profit for our French health business improved more than 70% from 2012 to £14 million as a result of better claims experience and lower expenses.

Expenses

Total expense base reduced by 2% to £678 million (FY12: £690 million), with a stronger reduction measured in local currencies (5% improvement). Integration and restructuring costs of £34 million were largely incurred in France.

Value of new business

Value of new business (VNB) for Europe improved by 12% to £303 million (FY12: £271 million). Strong growth in France, Poland and Turkey was partly offset by reductions in Spain and Italy. VNB in France increased due to higher volumes and a move towards more favourable product mix, with a significant increase in the proportion of unit-linked business. In Turkey, VNB increased as a result of higher volumes and higher pension business following recent regulatory changes. In Spain, VNB was adversely impacted by the loss of the Aseval business and lower protection sales as a result of the continuing contraction of the mortgage market. In Italy, VNB was £15 million (FY12: £29 million) as lower risk-free rates impacted margins on with-profits business (particularly in Eurovita). Excluding Eurovita, VNB in Italy increased by £4 million (up 13%), driven by management actions to improve profitability of our with-profits products and reduce the cost of guarantees.

Combined operating ratio (COR) has improved to 98.1% (FY12: 99.4%). In Italy COR reduced to 95.2% (FY12: 99.8%) reflecting lower claims frequency and pricing actions. Poland also reduced COR to 95.2% (FY12: 98.5%) due to lower claims frequency and expenses. In Turkey, COR has improved against FY12 but remains unsatisfactory at 123.9% (FY12: 137.1%). These improvements were partly offset by a deterioration in France COR to 97.1% (FY12: 94.9%), reflecting adverse weather during the second half of 2013 and strengthening of reserves.

Cash

During the year total cash remitted to Group was £130 million. On a local currency basis this was in line with the cash remitted in 2012. The remittance ratio for the year was 73% compared with 71% in 2012.

Operating capital generation

Operating capital generation was £177 million, 8% lower than 2012. This reduction is predominantly driven by the severe weather events seen during 2013.

Operating profit: IFRS basis

General insurance operating profit was £246 million (FY12: £277 million), an 11% reduction compared with the prior year (9% reduction on a local currency basis). This was driven by the impact of the severe flooding in Alberta and Toronto during the year, which were Canada's first and third largest CAT loss events for the overall insurance industry. This flooding reduced operating profit within the Canadian business by £62 million (with a further adverse impact of £67 million in the results of the Group's internal reinsurance business). As a result there has been an increase in the combined operating ratio for personal and commercial property compared with 2012 but this was partially offset by lower expenses and favourable prior year reserve development reflecting the Ontario Auto reforms as well as prior year reserve releases in commercial lines.

Long-term investment return, was down £11 million to £135 million, reflecting lower reinvestment yields.

Business volumes have increased during 2013, with net written premiums up 3% to £2,250 million (FY12: £2,176 million, 5% growth on a local currency basis), driven by rating increases in personal and commercial property and growth in new business volumes across most lines, with particularly strong growth seen in Western Canada.

Expenses

Operating expenses are £378 million (FY12: £401 million), a reduction of 6%. On a constant currency basis, operating expenses have reduced by 4% reflecting the continued focus on expense management and the realisation of cost savings initiatives. Integration and restructuring costs were lower than the prior year at £9 million (FY12: £11 million).

Total	63.2	61.0	31.4	32.4	94.6	93.4

Compared to the prior year, combined operating ratio is higher at 94.6% (FY12: 93.4%), driven by the adverse impact of the Alberta and Toronto weather events. The expense ratio has improved compared with 2012 reflecting the focus on cost control.

Cash

During the year total cash remitted to Group was £20 million, (FY12: £25 million). This dividend was paid entirely from the Singapore business, representing an 18% increase on Singapore's 2012 remittance to Group. The overall remittance ratio reflects the focus on growth in Asia and was 21% in 2013 (FY12: 31%).

Operating Capital Generation

Operating capital generation in 2013 was £97 million (FY12: £80 million), which primarily reflects the positive impact of a reinsurance transaction in Singapore reported in the first half of 2013.

Operating profit: IFRS basis

Overall operating profit from life and the general insurance and health business increased to £97 million (FY12: £64 million), mainly driven by higher earnings from the in-force portfolio and increased profits from favourable experience in China. Within this total, life business profits grew to £96 million (FY12: £69 million), with a £1 million result from the non-life business (FY12: £5 million loss).

Expenses

Operating expenses have reduced by 8% (7% on local currency basis) to £86 million (FY12: £93 million), mainly due to the disposal of Sri Lanka. The increase in integration and restructuring costs reflect the restructuring of Asia's head office.

Value of New Business

Value of new business (VNB), excluding Malaysia and Sri Lanka, for the period was £91 million (FY12: £55 million), an increase of 65% (on a sterling and local currency basis) with the growth driven by Singapore and China. Singapore's VNB increased as a result of an improved business mix, with strong protection sales and the success of new product lines launched earlier in the year. Despite a reduction in volumes, China's sales mix shifted towards higher margin traditional protection products with a net increase in VNB to £16 million (FY12: £9 million).

Combined Operating Ratio

Combined operating ratio for the Asia businesses was 108.1% (FY12: 105.6%), with the deterioration driven by a one-off increase in reserve margin in Singapore. Overall net written premiums for the general insurance and health business reduced to £100 million (FY12: £120 million), reflecting the withdrawal from some unprofitable health products in Singapore and the disposal of our Sri Lankan business in Q4 2012.

Cash

During 2013 a dividend of £14 million was paid to Group, compared with a dividend of £15 million in 2012.

Operating Capital Generation

Operating capital generation in Aviva Investors increased by £16 million to £23 million, primarily as a result of higher operating profits in the year.

Operating profit: IFRS basis

Aviva Investors fund management operating profit was £68 million (FY12: £39 million) driven by higher revenues reflecting positive market movements and performance fees together with reduced operating expenses as a result of cost savings initiatives.

In 2013 we found evidence of improper allocation of trades in fixed income securities in Aviva Investors. This occurred between 2006 - 2012. There is a total adverse impact on operating profit from this activity of £96 million, reflecting the compensation expected to be claimed in respect of these breaches and associated costs. These client compensation costs have been recognised within the 'Other operations' result (note A1).

Expenses

Operating expenses have fallen by £16 million compared with 2012 to £290 million, with reductions in staff and non-staff spend. Integration and restructuring costs have increased by £8 million to £41 million, reflecting restructuring activity required as part of the 2013 strategic review.

Aviva Investors funds under management have increased by £4.2 billion during the year. This is driven by market movements and the impact of foreign exchange movements, offset by net redemptions. Within market movements and other, there has also been a reallocation of £3.8 billion of funds from an externally managed provider to Aviva Investors.

While we have seen significant external sales in 2013, these have been more than offset by outflows. Sales have included strong inflows in the UK Liquidity funds, the on-going Aviva Investors business in the US, and our High Yield and Emerging Market Debt capabilities.

Within internal assets we have seen overall net outflows in our UK business.

Profit drivers: IFRS basis

7.i - Life business

Life business operating profit before shareholder tax for continuing operations increased by 4% to £1,901 million (FY12: £1,831 million).

Total income reduced by 7% to £3,352 million (FY12: £3,609 million), principally as a result of reduced annuity sales in the UK. This has been partially offset by an 11% reduction in expenses to £1,582 million (FY12: £1,787 million), with falls in both acquisition and administration costs, giving an improvement in cost/income ratio to 47% (FY12: 50%). In addition, the contribution from DAC and AVIF amortisation and other items increased with an aggregate £129 million positive impact for the period (FY12: £8 million). There has been an overall benefit of £37 million to the life business operating profit due to foreign exchange movements in 2013, largely driven by the strengthening of the euro.

In the UK & Ireland, life operating profit increased by 7%. After adjusting for a net benefit from non-recurring items of £66 million in FY13 relating to longevity assumption changes and £74 million in FY12 which included the release of a longevity transaction reserve, life operating profit in the UK and Ireland increased by 8%. This was driven by higher new business income net of acquisition expenses, lower administration expenses and a higher benefit from DAC and AVIF and other items.

Life operating profit decreased by 2% in Europe, driven by lower new business income, partially offset by increased participating business income and lower acquisition expenses.

In Asia, an increase in life operating profit of 39% was driven by growth in new business income in Singapore and China, favourable experience and an overall reduction in expenses and charges.

(a) New business income

New business income reduced to £838 million (FY12: £987 million) due to lower new business volumes in UK & Ireland and a reduction in new business margin on APE in both the UK & Ireland and Europe. The net contribution from new business is the new business income less associated acquisition expenses, which increased by 34% to £160 million (FY12: £119 million).

In the UK & Ireland, net contribution from new business increased by 21% to £204 million (FY12: £168 million) as a result of cost efficiencies and a reduction in annuity and protection volumes partially offset by increased volumes of pension business during the year. There was a reduction in margin on APE to 35% (FY12: 41%) largely driven by a change in the business mix, mainly due to lower annuity volumes.

In Europe, net contribution reduced by 32% to a loss of £66 million (FY12: loss of £50 million). Volumes based on APE increased by 13%, largely driven by France and Italy, particularly across pension and bond products. New business margin has reduced to 23% (FY12: 30%) largely due to changes in product mix, particularly in Spain and the impact of adverse economics on with-profit business in Italy.

In Asia, net contribution increased to £22 million (FY12: profit of £1 million) driven by an increase in volumes of higher margin protection business and a reduction in acquisition costs as a result of a change in business mix with lower commission.

(b) Underwriting margin

The underwriting margin reduced to £570 million (FY12: £658 million). The reduced margin in the UK & Ireland was primarily driven by a lower profit in Ireland following the sale of Ark Life. In Europe, an overall decrease in underwriting margin was driven by the sale of Aseval in Spain and disposal of other smaller European businesses. This was partially offset by an improvement in France as a result of management actions to reduce the cost of guaranteed death benefits which generated additional profits of £38 million (FY12: £29 million).

The unit-linked margin was stable at £885 million (FY12: £882 million). The margin as a proportion of average unit-linked reserves was 102 bps (FY12: 107 bps), on average reserves of £86 billion (FY12: £82 billion). The decrease in unit-linked margin in the UK & Ireland is primarily driven by the sale of Ark Life in Ireland and a change in business mix in the UK to lower margin pension business and business with lower charges in light of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR). The increase in Europe is primarily driven by higher volumes in France, where there have been several successful new product launches during the year, and Poland. In Asia, the decrease in margin is primarily driven by a decrease in in-force reserves and changes in business mix.

(d) Participating business

Income from participating business increased to £590 million (FY12: £547 million). In the UK & Ireland, the shareholder transfer from with-profit funds increased to £86 million (FY12: £78 million), reflecting higher levels of bonuses paid to policyholders. In Europe, income increased to £510 million (FY12: £477 million), driven by favourable exchange rate movements and higher profitability in Italy due to improved economics towards the end of the year. Participating business income in France, which contributes the majority of participating income in the Group, is broadly stable. In Asia, losses were incurred on our participating business in China and Hong Kong.

(e) Spread margin

Spread business income, which mainly relates to UK immediate annuity and equity release business, was stable at £205 million (FY12: £197 million). The spread margin on average reserves remained stable at 44 bps (FY12: 43 bps), on average reserves of £46 billion (FY12: £45 billion). The spread margin in the UK & Ireland increased to £140 million (FY12: £121 million), reflecting growth in annuity assets under management. In Europe the spread margin reduced due to the sale of Aseval in Spain.

(f) Expected return on shareholder assets

Expected returns, representing investment income on surplus funds reduced to £264 million (FY12: £338 million). The reduction in income mainly relates to the UK, reflecting lower bond yields on the assets within the surplus funds and the lower unwind of the cost of guarantees.

(g) Acquisition expenses

Acquisition expenses reduced to £678 million (FY12: £868 million), driven by reductions in the UK and Europe reflecting the focus on cost efficiency and the impact of lower new business volumes. In the UK, commission payments reduced due to lower protection volumes and the absence of commission on post-RDR new savings business. The overall group-wide ratio of acquisition expenses to APE was 25% (FY12: 32%).

(h) Administration expenses

Administration expenses reduced to £904 million (FY12: £919 million), driven by cost efficiencies in UK & Ireland and Asia, partly offset by increases in Europe due to higher renewal commission in France as a result of increased sales and adverse exchange rate movements. The expense ratio was stable at 39 bps (FY12: 40 bps) on average reserves of £233 billion (FY12: £229 billion).

(i) DAC, AVIF and other

DAC, AVIF and other items amounted to an overall positive contribution of £129 million (FY12: £8 million). DAC and AVIF amortisation charges have reduced by £157 million, largely driven by the UK & Ireland as a result of a DAC write off in 2012 and the sale of Ark Life. The positive contribution from other items has reduced by £36 million which is mainly driven by the UK. In the UK, the current year includes a non-recurring benefit of £66 million relating to longevity assumption changes, compared to a benefit of £74 million in the prior year. This prior year benefit of £74 million included the release of a £90 million annuity longevity transaction reserve which was no longer required, offset by a £16 million adverse impact from capital management actions.

Other items also include a profit of £2 million (FY12: £1 million) in respect of minor operations reported under other business.

2 Life business net flows in the table above are net of reinsurance and exclude flows related to UK equity release products.

United Kingdom & Ireland (excluding UK with-profits)

During 2013, net outflows in UK Life (non-profit) were £101 million. New business inflows in the UK reduced in the period, reflecting the strong focus towards improving value and capital efficiency. There were also higher claims and redemptions compared to FY12 reflecting the increase in size of the annuities book in 2012 and the consequential increase in annuity payments in 2013.

Including the Aviva Platform (not included in this table), which is a secure on-line investment platform covering SIPPs, ISAs and OEICs, UK Life has seen positive inflows of £1.3 billion.

In Ireland, net outflows were £315 million reflecting the change in strategic focus. The reduction in managed assets in Ireland at FY13 reflects the disposal of Ark Life in March 2013.

Europe

Net inflows were £11 million, reflecting increased volumes and lower redemptions in France which have been offset by net outflows in Italy and Spain. Other movements include favourable market and foreign exchange movements (driven by the strengthening of the euro against sterling), partly offset by the effect of the disposals of Aseval, Russia and Romania Pensions.

Asia and other

Net inflows in Asia were £25 million arising principally in Singapore. Other business net outflows of £240 million relates to Aviva Investors' Pooled Pensions business.

8.i - Summary of assets

The Group asset portfolio is invested to generate competitive investment returns for both policyholders and shareholders whilst remaining within the Group's appetite for market and credit risk.

The Group has a low appetite for interest rate risk and currency risk which means that the asset portfolios are well matched by duration and currency to the liabilities they cover. The Group also runs a low level of liquidity risk which results in a high proportion of income generating assets and a preference for more liquid assets where there is the potential need to realise those assets before maturity.

The Group seeks to diversify its asset portfolio in order to reduce risk and provide more attractive risk-adjusted returns. In order to achieve this there is a comprehensive risk limit framework in place. There is an allowance for diversification in our economic capital model, actions have been taken to reduce our exposure to the Eurozone periphery, and we are broadening the investment portfolio in individual businesses.

Asset allocation decisions are taken at legal entity level and in many cases by fund within a legal entity in order to reflect the nature of the liabilities, customer expectations, the local accounting and regulatory treatment, and any local constraints. These asset allocation decisions are made in accordance with a Group-wide framework that takes into account consensus investment views across the Group, prioritised Group objectives and metrics and Group risk limits and constraints. This framework is overseen by the Group ALCO (Asset Liability Committee) and facilitates a consistent approach to asset allocation across the business units in line with Group risk appetite and shareholder objectives.

The asset allocation as at 31 December 2013 across the Group, split according to the type of liability the assets are covering, is shown in the table below. Further information on these assets is given in the analysis of assets section.

1 Of the £11.8 billion of assets 5% relates to other shareholder business assets.

2 The reduction in annuity and non-profit assets compared with the 2012 position principally reflects the completion of the disposal of our US business in the second half of 2013, with a corresponding reduction in assets of operations held for sale.

There is an internal loan between Aviva Insurance Limited (AIL) and Aviva Group Holdings Limited (AGH) that has a net value of zero at a consolidated level.

General insurance and health

All the investment risk is borne by shareholders and the portfolio held to cover these liabilities contains a high proportion of fixed and variable income securities, of which 87% are rated A or above. The assets are relatively short duration reflecting the short average duration of the liabilities. Liquidity, interest rate and foreign exchange risks are maintained at a low level.

Annuity and other non-profit

All the investment risk is borne by shareholders. The annuity liabilities have a long duration but are also illiquid as customers cannot surrender their policies. The assets are chosen to provide stable income with a good cash flow, foreign exchange and interest rate match to the liabilities. We are able to invest part of the portfolio in less liquid assets in order to improve risk-adjusted returns given the illiquid nature of the liabilities. The asset portfolio is principally comprised of long maturity bonds and loans including a material book of commercial mortgage loans. The bond portfolios have performed well in the context of recent increases in interest rates. As at 31 December 2013, unrealised losses and impairments on the bond portfolio of £22.9 billion amounted to £0.3 billion or 1% of the portfolio. The equivalent figure for 31 December 2012 was 1%. Unrealised gains on the portfolio were £2.2 billion as at 31 December 2013 or 10% of the portfolio. The equivalent unrealised gains figure for 31 December 2012 was 12%. The other non-profit business assets are a smaller proportion of this portfolio and are generally shorter in duration and have a high proportion invested in fixed income.

8.i - Summary of assets continued

The current asset value of the commercial mortgage portfolio (including Healthcare and PFI mortgages) backing the UK Annuity book is £11.1 billion. While these commercial mortgages are held at fair value on the asset side of the statement of financial position, we also carry an allowance against the risk of default on our riskier mortgages of £1.3 billion (FY12: £1.2 billion, including the implicit reinvestment margin of £0.2 billion). This includes a net increase of £0.3 billion at HY 13 and explicit recognition of the £0.2 billion reinvestment margin previously held implicitly. Since HY13, commercial mortgages have performed in line with expectations with the impact of defaults offset by the release of the default allowances. The valuation allowance (including supplementary allowances) for commercial mortgages, including Healthcare and PFI mortgages of £1.3 billion equates to 124bps at 31 December 2013 (FY12: 89bps).

Policyholder assets

These assets are invested in line with the fund choices made by our unit-linked policyholders and the investment risk is borne by the policyholder. This results in a high allocation to growth assets such as equity and property. Aviva's shareholder exposure to these assets arises from the fact that the income we receive is a proportion of the assets under management.

UK style with-profits (WP)

UK style with profit funds hold relatively long term contracts with policyholders participating in pooled investment performance subject to some minimum guarantees. Smoothed returns are used to declare bonuses to policyholders which increase the level of the guarantees through time. The part of the portfolio to which policyholder bonuses are linked is invested in line with their expectations and includes growth assets such as equity and property as well as fixed income. The remainder of the portfolio is invested to mitigate the resultant shareholder risk. This leads us to an overall investment portfolio that holds a higher proportion of growth assets (such as equity and property) than our other business lines although there are still material allocations to fixed income assets.

Continental European style participating funds

Continental European style participating funds hold relatively long term contracts with policyholders participating in pooled investment performance subject to some minimum guarantees. Smoothed returns are used to declare bonuses to policyholders which increase the level of the guarantees through time. There is less discretion in how guarantees increase through time compared to the UK style equivalent funds and more of the bonus accrues each year rather than being allocated at maturity. The investment portfolio holds a higher proportion of fixed income assets than the UK style equivalent. Fixed income assets also give rise to less volatility on the local statutory balance sheet than growth assets.

In total we have made gross disposals¹ of Italian sovereign debt of £1.7 billion this year from our shareholder and participating funds, the majority of which was from the Continental European style participating funds. We have also entered into hedges to protect £0.3 billion notional of Italian debt holdings within our French participating funds. After taking into account market movements and new business, the value of our net direct shareholder and participating fund holdings (net of NCI) in Italian sovereign debt is £4.9 billion (FY12: £4.9 billion). Of the £4.9 billion of Italian sovereign debt (net of NCI) 73% is held in Italy.

8.iii - Net asset value

At the end of 2013, IFRS net asset value per share was 270 pence (FY12: 278 pence). This movement was driven by operating profits and profit on the disposal of subsidiaries and associates which were offset by remeasurements on pension schemes and integration and restructuring costs. In addition, payment of the dividend, movement in the value of AFS securities and other reserves and foreign exchange movements also contributed to the decrease in net asset value per share.

Total IFRS investment return variances were £100 million. For continuing operations, investment variances were £352 million adverse. This included £303 million adverse variance in the non-life businesses, reflecting short-term fluctuation in investment return and economic assumption changes driven by an increase in risk-free rates in the UK and Canada, together with other market movements impacting the Group centre investments.

In the life business, investment return variances were £49 million adverse, with narrowing credit spreads on government and corporate bonds in France, Italy and Spain more than offset by the strengthening of the commercial mortgage default provision and the effect of higher interest rates in the UK Life business.

The adverse movement on the Group's staff pension schemes of £549 million post tax is principally due to the main UK staff pension scheme where the surplus has decreased over the period largely as a result of narrowing spreads between corporate bonds and gilts, partially offset by an outperformance in the equity and property markets and a net benefit from demographic assumption changes.

MCEV net asset value per share increased to 445 pence (FY12: 422 pence). This movement was driven by operating profits, positive investment variances and profit on disposals of subsidiaries and associates partly offset by remeasurements on pension schemes, integration and restructuring costs, payment of the dividend, movement in the value of AFS securities and other reserves, foreign exchange movements and exceptional items relating to regulatory and tax changes.

Total MCEV investment return variances were £1,969 million. Of this total, £452 million relates to discontinued operations. For continuing operations, investment variances were £1,517 million primarily generated by the group's life businesses, which contributed £1,820 million, offset by adverse investment return variances in the non-life businesses of £303 million. The life investment return variances were largely due to the narrowing of credit spreads on corporate bonds and asset outperformance in the UK, together with narrowing spreads on government and corporate bonds in Italy, France and Spain.

8.iv - Return on equity

Return on equity shareholder funds is calculated as operating return (IFRS basis) net of tax expressed as a percentage of opening shareholders equity. This has increased to 17.8% (FY12: 11.2%) for FY13, primarily reflecting the impact of the significant asset write downs experienced in 2012 which reduced closing shareholders equity for that year.

The Group proactively manages its balance sheet risk through monitoring, stress analysis and our hedging programme.

The Group's IGD surplus is resilient to global equity market falls or a 1% global interest rate rise. The Group's IGD surplus would be approximately £3.3 billion in the event of a 40% fall in equity markets from the 31 December 2013 position reflecting the hedging that the Group currently has in place.

The impact of a 1% rise in global interest rates is calculated with reference to the regulatory value of debt securities in continental Europe being capped to local minimum capital requirements in participating funds. This provides protection to the Group's IGD surplus from immediate market losses on debt securities.

8.vi - Economic capital

The estimated economic capital surplus represents the excess of Available Economic Capital over Required Economic Capital. Available Economic Capital is based on MCEV net assets, adjusted for items to convert to an economic basis. Required Economic Capital is based on Aviva's own internal assessment and capital management policies. The term 'economic capital' does not imply capital as required by regulators or other third parties.

Estimated economic capital surplus position at 31 December	8.3	5.3
Pro forma impacts	-	1.8
Estimated pro forma economic capital surplus position at 31 December	-	7.1

The estimated economic capital position has increased by £3.0 billion to £8.3 billion at 31 December 2013 with a corresponding increase in the cover ratio from 147% to 182%. The improvement during the period in part reflects the crystallisation of the year-end 2012 pro forma impacts of £1.8 billion relating to the completion of the US, Delta Lloyd, Aseval and other disposals, partly offset by a strengthening of the pension scheme basis. In addition, further benefits of £1.2 billion have been driven by underlying profits, favourable market movement and increases in US sale proceeds, partly offset by the payment of dividends, increase in UK commercial mortgage default allowances and the impact of exceptional items, mainly reforms to Poland Pension legislation.

The estimated economic capital position at FY13 includes the strengthening of the allowance for staff pension scheme deficits from five years of stressed contributions to the full funding basis deficit under stressed conditions. The impact of this when combined with changes to the funding basis assumptions and market movements results in a reduction in economic capital surplus of £0.4 billion. The move to a full funding basis is a further strengthening from the ten years of stressed contributions, which is reflected in the year-end 2012 pro forma result.
