PRUDENTIAL PLC 2002 NEW BUSINESS RESULTS
• Total Group insurance and investment sales of £27.6 billion, an increase
of 29 per cent on 2001.
• Group insurance sales of £12.8 billion up 12 per cent (sales on an APE
basis of £1.9 billion up 9 per cent).
• Approximately 74 per cent of Group sales from outside the UK.
• Total insurance sales in Prudential UK increased by 6 per cent to £6.1
billion (insurance sales on an APE basis down 5 per cent to £781 million).
• Gross fund inflows in M&G of £1 billion up 11 per cent (net fund inflows
up 79 per cent).
• APE sales up 23 per cent in Jackson National Life, driven by strong sales
of both fixed and variable annuities.
• APE insurance sales in Prudential Corporation Asia increased by 18 per
cent.
Prudential's Group Chief Executive, Jonathan Bloomer, commented:
'These strong sales figures were achieved in extremely difficult market
conditions and fully endorse our strategy of growing internationally, broadening
our distribution reach and diversifying our product range.
'We expect market conditions to remain challenging for many areas of our
business throughout 2003, particularly in the UK and the United States. However,
our international diversification and focus on running the business for value
positions us well to deliver sustainable profitable growth over the
longer-term'.
Prudential UK
Prudential's UK insurance operations recorded a 10 per cent increase in total
sales on the previous year as a result of strong sales of bulk and individual
annuities throughout 2002. This increase is on a like-for-like basis and
excludes sales made through the direct sales force which closed in 2001. APE
sales of £781 million for the year were down 1 per cent as a result of positive
actions taken by the business to focus sales activity on more profitable single
premium products. Fourth-quarter APE sales were up 30 per cent on the previous
quarter following a number of significant wins of both corporate pension and
bulk annuity business. Overall, this was a particularly strong result given the
testing conditions which the insurance sector has faced over the past twelve
months.
Successful marketing campaigns and an effective pricing policy helped the
business to achieve a significant increase in sales of individual annuities for
the year, which were up 39 per cent to £1.76 billion (£176 million APE).
Bulk annuities also performed well with a 23 per cent increase in total sales
for the year to £710 million (£71 million APE). Prudential UK has successfully
reinforced its position as the leading player in this market, winning the £389
million C&A pension scheme account in the final quarter of the year.
As expected, life product sales were down on 2001 with total sales down 5 per
cent and APE sales down 8 per cent to £247 million. However, during the first
three quarters of 2002, Prudential UK gained market share in with-profit bonds
on the corresponding period in 2001, and believes that the final quarter's
performance will confirm Prudential UK's strong position in this sector. In
October, the business signed a distribution arrangement with Abbey National to
sell its Prudence Bond product through the bank's branches. This was launched on
11 December and sales have been encouraging.
While corporate pension sales on an APE basis were down slightly on 2001, total
sales were up 23 per cent, reflecting the move towards single premium products.
In the fourth quarter of 2002, Prudential UK won a number of significant schemes
and will see increasing contributions from these schemes in 2003.
2002 was a challenging year, with some of the most difficult UK stock market
conditions since 1974. However, Prudential UK continues to win new business with
further improvements to its product range and distribution network and the
fourth quarter of 2002 proved to be the strongest performing quarter for two
years (excluding DSS rebates, which generally occur in the first quarter of the
year). The 'flight to quality' continues as customers place increasing emphasis
on financial strength and a trusted brand. However, we expect market conditions
to remain difficult for the foreseeable future.
M&G
M&G recorded gross retail fund inflows of £1 billion in 2002, up 11 per cent on
the previous year, and gross retail fund inflows for the fourth quarter alone
were £242 million, an increase of 23 per cent on the fourth quarter of 2001.
These figures exclude the successful rollover of the M&G Recovery Investment
Trust into a new vehicle, which contributed a further £171 million.
Net fund inflows for the fourth quarter were £78 million, an 8 per cent increase
on the same period in 2001, bringing net fund inflows for the full year to £350
million, an increase of 79 per cent.
Despite uncertain equity markets and in contrast to the industry trend, M&G
experienced a fall in redemptions in 2002. The latest Investment Management
Association (IMA) figures to the end of November show that while redemptions
across the industry rose during the year, M&G's redemptions fell by 9 per cent.
M&G continued to increase its share of the retail market in 2002. The November
IMA figures show that M&G experienced a 10 per cent increase in share of the
total retail market over the year to date and a 15 per cent increase in share of
the PEP/ISA market. M&G also increased its market share of funds sold via
intermediaries by 11 per cent overall and by 27 per cent for PEPs and ISAs.
Egg
Egg published a pre-closed season briefing on 12 December 2002 that covered its
activities up to that date. The announcement highlighted that the UK business
continues to grow strongly and profitably, and that the group has now
successfully launched in France. Egg will announce its preliminary results on 24
February 2003.
Prudential Europe
Sales on an APE basis increased by 12 per cent to £29 million. Total sales were
down 14 per cent to £67 million.
In November 2002, we agreed the sale of our German life business to Canada Life
Financial Corporation for a total consideration of €129 million (£82 million),
and the transaction completed at the end of the year. We will continue to run
our existing operations in France for value.
Jackson National Life
Jackson National Life (JNL) recorded total sales in 2002 of £5.8 billion, a 24
per cent increase on 2001, reflecting record fixed annuity sales and strong
sales of variable annuities. Fourth quarter total sales were up 55 per cent on
the corresponding period in 2001 but down 21 per cent on the third quarter of
2002. Total sales for the year on an APE basis of £595 million were 23 per cent
up on 2001.
These strong results were achieved in extremely difficult market conditions, and
are testament not only to JNL's strong track record of product innovation but
also its high quality relationship-driven distribution model.
Total single premium sales during the year increased by 24 per cent. Total sales
of all annuity products to retail customers of £4.3 billion were 47 per cent up
on 2001. Annuity sales in the second half of 2002 of £2.7 billion increased by
60 per cent on the first half of the year and 54 per cent of annuity sales in
2002 came from products launched during the year.
Record fixed annuity sales of £2.7 billion were up 43 per cent on 2001,
reflecting strong consumer preference for guaranteed returns in the current
volatile equity markets. Sales of fixed annuities in the fourth quarter
increased by 39 per cent on the corresponding quarter of 2001 but were down 21
per cent on the third quarter of 2002, emphasising JNL's focus on delivering
value, not simply volume, while actively managing capital.
Despite the continued challenging market conditions, JNL also recorded excellent
variable annuity sales in 2002. Total sales of almost £1.4 billion were up 77
per cent on 2001, and increased quarter-on-quarter throughout the year. This
upward trend reflected the successful launch in the first quarter of Perspective
II, a new variable annuity product which is highly competitive in this market
and can be individually tailored to customers' needs.
Sales of equity linked indexed (ELI) annuities of £254 million were 6 per cent
down on 2001.
Regular premium life sales of £22 million were in line with the level of sales
seen in 2001.
Sales of stable value products of £1.4 billion decreased by 16 per cent on 2001,
reflecting JNL's primary focus on retail sales throughout the year which we
expect to continue in 2003.
During 2002, JNL has once again shown that it has the ability to adapt to
difficult market environments by delivering strong sales growth while ensuring
efficient management of capital. We believe that market conditions in the United
States will remain very challenging well into 2003 but that there are
significant opportunities over the longer term for high quality, efficient
businesses like JNL which has a cost base below the industry average, modern and
sophisticated IT systems, and diversified and flexible products and
distribution.
Prudential Corporation Asia
Prudential Corporation Asia (PCA) had another strong year in 2002 with total
insurance sales on an APE basis increasing by 18 per cent on 2001 to £513
million. This increase was 30 per cent if last year's Central Provident Fund
(CPF) single premium sales in Singapore, which were at exceptional levels due to
further government liberalisation of CPF funds, are excluded. Total APE
insurance sales in the fourth quarter of 2002 were up 53 per cent on the
corresponding quarter in 2001.
All of PCA's life operations continued to grow strongly during the year,
reflecting the clear strategy of building and strengthening high quality agency
distribution as well as the ongoing success in developing complementary
channels, including bancassurance. PCA's focus for its life operations continues
to be on developing a balanced portfolio of traditional, linked, and accident
and health products, with the emphasis on higher value regular premium business
which increased by 26 per cent during 2002.
PCA's mutual fund assets under management of £5.1 billion included the
additional funds under management following the acquisition of Korea's Good
Morning Securities ITMC in October 2002 and despite challenging investment
market conditions, net inflows for the year remained positive at over £1
billion.
PCA's share of Bank of China International-Prudential Mandatory Provident Fund
(MPF) funds under management in Hong Kong increased by 51 per cent to £136
million.
Despite the global economic downturn in 2002, PCA has once again strengthened
its position as a regional leader in the life and mutual fund markets and is
very well positioned to continue delivering sustainable profitable new business
growth over the long-term.
