3rd Quarter Results

Prudential PLC 16 October 2003 Embargo: 07.00 hrs Thursday 16 October 2003 PRUDENTIAL PLC THIRD QUARTER 2003 NEW BUSINESS RESULTS • Total Group insurance and investment sales of £23.6 billion, an increase of 12 per cent at constant exchange rates (CER) on the first nine months of 2002 (6 per cent on actual exchange rates). Group APE (Annual Premium Equivalent) insurance sales of £1.2 billion are down 10 per cent at CER (down 14 per cent on actual exchange rates). • Total Group investment funds under management of £29.7 billion, up 16 per cent since the beginning of 2003. • APE insurance sales in Prudential Corporation Asia (PCA) up 17 per cent, despite the impact of SARS earlier in the year (up 9 per cent on actual exchange rates). • Jackson National Life's (JNL) retail sales of £2.8 billion at CER were 1 per cent higher than the comparable period in 2002, with particularly strong sales of variable annuities. • UK insurance sales on an APE basis down 16 per cent, reflecting weakness in the with-profit bond market. Strong sales of corporate pensions and individual annuities. • M&G total retail and institutional funds under management of £23.2 billion, up 14 per cent since the start of the year. Prudential's Group Chief Executive, Jonathan Bloomer, commented: 'The markets in which we operate have been difficult this year. In the UK, consumer confidence has not yet fully recovered, in the US, the low interest rate environment continues, and in Asia, SARS has affected several key territories. However, market conditions are beginning to stabilise and we are now seeing signs of improvement and the emergence of some positive trends including: increased sales of corporate pensions in the UK; good sales of variable annuities in the US; and a return to strong growth in Asia.' * The narrative below is on constant exchange rates throughout. See Notes to Editors for further details. Prudential Corporation Asia In the first nine months of the year PCA had APE sales of £391 million, up 17 per cent on the same period last year. This strong result demonstrates the benefits of PCA's diverse portfolio of businesses across Asia. Sales have recovered strongly post SARS and APE sales in the third quarter were £148 million, up 33 per cent on the second quarter of 2003. In Singapore, PCA has continued to focus on more profitable regular premium life business and for the first nine months of the year sales were up 27 per cent compared with the same period last year. Strong growth continued in Malaysia where APE sales in the first nine months of the year were up 25 per cent and in Hong Kong, despite record high unemployment levels and concerns over SARS, sales of single premium products in the first nine months of 2003 were 61 per cent higher than the same period in 2002. As announced on 1 September 2003, PCA Life Japan is now focusing on its financial adviser distribution channel and its bancassurance arrangements. While APE sales for the third quarter were up 44 per cent compared with the second quarter, PCA Life Japan anticipates some slowdown in the fourth quarter as the distribution model is refocused. PCA's Taiwanese life business made a strong recovery in the third quarter with APE sales up 71 per cent on the second quarter. However, due to the impact of SARS earlier in the year, sales for the first nine months of the year were up 2 per cent relative to 2002. PCA's seven smaller life operations (China, India, Indonesia, Korea, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam - collectively classified as 'Other' in the schedules) continue to build scale with APE sales increasing by 61 per cent compared with the same period last year. In China, PCA opened its second life operation with its partner CITIC. This was launched in August in Beijing. In Korea, bancassurance arrangements were launched with Koram Bank and Korea First Bank. Total investment products funds under management in Asia as at 30 September 2003 were £6.5 billion, up 10 per cent from £5.9 billion at 30 June 2003. This reflects strong net inflows of £395 million during the quarter and the impact of positive market movements. Jackson National Life JNL's retail sales of £2.8 billion were 1 per cent higher than the comparable period in 2002, which was a record year. Total sales for the first nine months of the year were down 19 per cent on prior year, reflecting a 62 per cent reduction in sales of institutional products to £499 million as a result of JNL's focus on retail markets. JNL does not expect to sell any further institutional products before 2004, other than on an opportunistic basis. JNL recorded excellent variable annuity sales during the first nine months of 2003. Total sales of £1.5 billion were up 88 per cent on the same period last year. As expected given the volatility of equity markets over the previous three years, a significant proportion of variable annuity investors continue to elect the fixed option, with 53 per cent of variable annuity sales going into this option during the first nine months of 2003. This compares to 58 per cent during the full year 2002 and 57 per cent for the first six months of 2003. Due to the continued low interest rate environment in the US and the high rate of election of the fixed account option within variable annuities, fixed annuity sales in the first nine months of the year of £1.2 billion were 37 per cent below prior year. Prudential has previously indicated that JNL would self-fund its capital in the medium-term. Consistent with this objective, third quarter fixed annuity sales of £200 million were 52 per cent down on sales of £421 million during the second quarter, and were 76 per cent lower than the comparable period in 2002. While JNL's outlook for the financial markets remains cautious, it expects to sell £250-300 million of fixed annuities in the fourth quarter, reflecting its expected capital position. Sales of equity-linked indexed annuities of £184 million were down 2 per cent on the first nine months of last year. Regular premium life sales of £11 million compared with sales of £17 million for the same period in 2002. Curian Capital LLC, JNL's recently launched Registered Investment Advisor channel, continued to build on its strong start. At the end of September, funds under management had grown to £73 million, more than double the funds under management at the half year. Curian Capital provides innovative fee-based separately managed accounts and investment products. In March 2003 JNL introduced a new equity-linked annuity product, and since June 2003 it has also launched new term and universal life products. These new developments reinforce JNL's track record of product innovation, with 92 per cent of sales in the first nine months of the year coming from products launched since the beginning of 2002. JNL intends to continue its focus on retail sales for the remainder of the year. UK and Europe Insurance Operations Prudential UK and Europe's APE sales for the first nine months of the year were £464 million, 18 per cent down on the comparative period in 2002. Excluding with-profit bond sales, Prudential UK's APE sales were 6 per cent higher than the same period in 2002 benefiting from continuing strong corporate pension and individual annuity sales. Sales through direct channels were £243 million, 15 per cent higher than the equivalent period in 2002, with strong sales of individual annuities and corporate pensions. Sales of individual annuities through direct channels were 11 per cent higher than in the same period in 2002 and in the first half of 2003 Prudential UK had a 22 per cent market share of the individual annuity market (source: ABI). Sales of corporate pensions through direct channels were £136 million, 23 per cent higher than 2002, reflecting a significant contribution from new schemes. In the first half of 2003 Prudential UK had an 18 per cent market share of the defined contribution occupational pension scheme market (source: ABI). IFA sales were down 38 per cent to £208 million. Despite the weak with-profit bond market Prudential achieved a strong performance with a 59 per cent increase in sales of with-profit bonds through IFAs in the third quarter over the second. This reflects a slow return to this market by high net worth investors. Prudential UK is seeking to improve confidence in with-profit bonds through a number of measures including product enhancement and improved transparency. In the first half of 2003 Prudential UK had a 26 per cent market share of with-profit bond sales distributed through IFAs (source: ABI), which it believes will have increased in the third quarter. Partnership agreements with Abbey to sell with-profit bonds, and with Zurich to underwrite annuities, resulted in single premium sales of £81 million for the first nine months of 2003. Partnership sales in the third quarter of £36 million compare with £13 million achieved in the second. The Zurich agreement was launched during the second quarter of 2003. Prudential UK expects conditions in the final quarter of the year to remain challenging, but believes its focus is appropriate. It is confident it is well positioned to take advantage of the recovery in the savings market. It continues to focus on products where it has competitive advantage as a result of its brand recognition, financial strength, diversified distribution capability and low cost base. M&G M&G's gross fund inflows for the first nine months of 2003 were £3 billion, up 1 per cent on 2002, reflecting its strength and broad distribution in the areas of retail fund management, institutional fixed income, pooled life and pension funds, property and private finance. Gross fund inflows into M&G branded retail products were £275 million in the third quarter, up 10 per cent on the same period last year. Net inflows rose in the quarter, up 8 per cent on the same period in 2002 to £64 million. In its institutional business, M&G continued to benefit from its position as a leading innovator in fixed income and private finance. Gross institutional fund inflows during the third quarter were £702 million, bringing inflows in the first nine months to £2.1 billion, 5 per cent higher than the same period last year. During the third quarter, M&G's segregated and pooled funds saw gross fund inflows of £317 million and the private finance division contributed a further £333 million as a result of its continuing success in winning project finance and securitised vehicle mandates. M&G's net institutional fund inflows for the third quarter of 2003 were £284 million compared to £59 million in the same period in 2002. Egg Egg will announce its third quarter results on Wednesday 22 October 2003. -ENDS- Enquiries to: Media Investors/Analysts Geraldine Davies 020 7548 3911 Rebecca Burrows 020 7548 3537 Steve Colton 020 7548 3721 Laura Presland 020 7548 3511 Clare Staley 020 7548 3719 Notes to Editors: 1.
