Investec plc and Investec Limited (combined results)
Unaudited combined consolidated financial results for the year ended 31 March 2018
|
This announcement covers the results of the Investec group for the year ended 31 March 2018. |
|
Basis of presentation
Statutory basis Statutory information is set out in a separate section in this announcement. In order to present a more meaningful view of the group's performance the results continue to be presented on an ongoing basis as explained further below.
Ongoing basis The results presented on an ongoing basis exclude items that in management's view could distort the comparison of performance between periods. Based on this principle, the remaining legacy business in the UK continues to be excluded from underlying profit.
This basis of presentation is consistent with the approach adopted for the prior year ended 31 March 2017. A reconciliation between the statutory and ongoing income statement is provided.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives included in the commentary relate to the year ended 31 March 2017. Group results have benefited from a 6.6% appreciation of the average Rand: Pound Sterling exchange rate over the year. Amounts represented on a currency neutral basis for income statement items assume that the relevant average exchange rates for the year to 31 March 2018 remain the same as those in the prior year. Amounts represented on a currency neutral basis for balance sheet items assume that the relevant closing exchange rates at 31 March 2018 remain the same as those at 31 March 2017.
Overview of results
Solid client activity levels supporting underlying performance
· The group's asset and wealth management businesses have generated substantial net inflows of GBP7.3 billion, which together with favourable market levels has supported higher average funds under management · The banking businesses have benefited from sound levels of corporate and private client activity driving strong loan book growth over the year · The group has continued to invest into the business, positioning itself for further growth across its client franchise businesses and ensuring that it remains competitive and relevant in the markets in which it operates · Impairments on the legacy portfolio have increased in anticipation of accelerated exits of certain assets in line with the group's strategy of managing down this portfolio · Taking into account the above mentioned factors, the group has achieved satisfactory operating performance against a challenging backdrop in its two core geographies, underpinned by sound growth in key earnings drivers and a solid recurring income base.
Statutory operating profit salient features
· Statutory operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles, non-operating items and taxation and after other non-controlling interests ("operating profit") increased 1.4% to GBP607.5 million (2017: GBP599.1 million) - a decrease of 3.5% on a currency neutral basis. · The effective tax rate amounted to 9.6% (2017: 18.5%) mainly impacted by the lower rate in South Africa following the release of provisions no longer required. · Statutory adjusted earnings per share (EPS) before goodwill, acquired intangibles and non-operating items increased 10.1% from 48.3 pence to 53.2 pence - an increase of 4.1% on a currency neutral basis.
Satisfactory performance from the ongoing business
· Ongoing operating profit increased 5.6% to GBP701.0 million (2017: GBP663.7 million) - an increase of 1.2% on a currency neutral basis. · Ongoing adjusted EPS before goodwill, acquired intangibles and non-operating items increased 13.3% from 54.1 pence to 61.3 pence - an increase of 8.1% on a currency neutral basis. · Annuity income as a percentage of total operating income amounted to 76.3% (2017: 72.0%). · The credit loss charge as a percentage of average gross core loans and advances amounted to 0.26% (2017: 0.29%), remaining at the lower end of the group's long term range despite an increase in impairments. · Third party assets under management increased 6.5% to GBP160.6 billion (31 March 2017: GBP150.7 billion) - an increase of 6.2% on a currency neutral basis. · Customer accounts (deposits) increased 6.5% to GBP31.0 billion (31 March 2017: GBP29.1 billion) - an increase of 5.9% on a currency neutral basis. · Core loans and advances increased 11.6% to GBP24.8 billion (31 March 2017: GBP22.2 billion) - an increase of 11.0% on a currency neutral basis.
The UK legacy portfolio continues to be actively managed down
· The legacy portfolio reduced from GBP476 million at 31 March 2017 to GBP313 million through asset sales, redemptions and write-offs. · The legacy business reported a loss before taxation of GBP93.5 million (2017: GBP64.6 million) reflecting an increase in impairments for accelerated exits anticipated to occur on certain legacy assets.
Maintained a sound balance sheet
· Capital remained in excess of current regulatory requirements. The group is comfortable with its common equity tier 1 ratio target at a 10% level, as its current leverage ratios for both Investec Limited and Investec plc are above 7%. Both Investec Limited and Investec plc reported a common equity tier 1 ratio ahead of this target. · Liquidity remained strong with cash and near cash balances amounting to GBP12.8 billion.
Dividend increase of 4.3%
· The board proposes a final dividend of 13.5 pence per ordinary share equating to a full year dividend of 24.0 pence (2017: 23.0 pence) resulting in a dividend cover based on the group's adjusted EPS before goodwill and non-operating items of 2.2 times (2017: 2.1 times), consistent with the group's dividend policy. The dividend increase of 4.3% is in line with the currency neutral increase in adjusted earnings per share of 4.1%.

Stephen Koseff, Chief Executive Officer of Investec said: "Operating performance during the year was underpinned by sound growth in loans and funds under management and a solid recurring income base, despite a challenging backdrop in South Africa and the UK. The Wealth & Investment and Asset Management businesses generated substantial net inflows, with Asset Management exceeding GBP100 billion of funds under management for the first time. The Specialist Bank continued to see good client acquisition in its core franchise businesses which we have built and developed over a number of years. We have implemented an orderly succession plan and feel confident that we are handing over a business that is well placed to continue to grow both its market position and profitability over the foreseeable future."
Bernard Kantor, Managing Director of Investec said: "Over the last 40 years we have been building a platform that is capable of being leveraged for further growth. Investec is now a meaningful player across many business areas, both in the UK and South Africa, and we believe the platform is robust, relevant and well positioned for future value creation. We are confident that Hendrik du Toit and Fani Titi, as joint chief executives from October, will lead Investec to new successes for the benefit of shareholders and all our stakeholders."

Investec plc and Investec Limited (combined results)
Unaudited combined consolidated financial results for the year ended 31 March 2018
The commentary below largely focuses on the results of the ongoing business.
Overall group performance - ongoing basis
Operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles, non-operating items and taxation and after other non-controlling interests ("operating profit") increased 5.6% to GBP701.0 million (2017: GBP663.7 million) - an increase of 1.2% on a currency neutral basis.
The combined South African businesses reported operating profit 3.3% ahead of the prior period (in Rands), whilst the combined UK and Other businesses posted a 1.2% increase in operating profit in Pounds Sterling.
Business unit review - ongoing basis
Asset Management
Asset Management operating profit increased by 8.0% to GBP178.0 million (2017: GBP164.8 million) supported by higher average funds under management arising from strong net inflows of GBP5.4 billion and favourable market and currency movements. Earnings were negatively impacted by lower performance fees in South Africa. Total funds under management amounted to GBP103.9 billion (31 March 2017: GBP95.3 billion).
Wealth & Investment
Wealth & Investment operating profit increased by 5.7% to GBP98.6 million (2017: GBP93.2 million). The business benefited from higher average funds under management supported by higher equity market levels over the year and solid net inflows of GBP2.0 billion. Total funds under management amounted to GBP56.0 billion (31 March 2017: GBP54.8 billion).
Specialist Banking
Specialist Banking operating profit increased by 4.3% to GBP474.0 million (2017: GBP454.4 million).
The South African business reported an increase in operating profit in Rands of 6.9% supported by sound corporate and private client activity levels as well as an increase in associate earnings from the IEP Group. This was partially offset by lower investment income. Core loans and advances increased 8.7% to R256.7 billion (31 March 2017: R236.2 billion). The credit loss ratio on average core loans and advances amounted to 0.28%, remaining flat at the lower end of its long term average, despite the business reporting an increase in impairments.
The UK and Other businesses reported a 9.3% decrease in operating profit. Strong growth in net interest income was supported by loan book growth of 15.1% to GBP9.4 billion (31 March 2017: GBP8.1 billion) and a reduction in the cost of funding. This was offset by a decrease in non-interest revenue following particularly strong investment banking and client flow trading activity levels in the prior year. In line with the division's current investment strategy to support franchise growth, IT infrastructure costs and headcount increased, notably for the continued build out of the private client banking offering. Impairments increased marginally with the credit loss ratio amounting to 0.24% (2017: 0.27%).
Further information on key developments within each of the business units is provided in a detailed report published on the group's website: http://www.investec.com
Group costs
These largely relate to group brand and marketing costs and a portion of executive and support functions which are associated with group level activities. These costs are not incurred by the operating divisions and are necessary to support the operational functioning of the group. These costs amounted to GBP49.6 million (2017: GBP48.8 million).
Financial statement analysis - ongoing basis
Total operating income
Total operating income before impairment losses on loans and advances increased by 6.9% to GBP2,442.8 million (2017: GBP2,285.9 million).
Net interest income increased by 11.7% to GBP760.1 million (2017: GBP680.5 million) driven by robust levels of lending activity across the banking businesses and further supported by a reduction in the UK's cost of funding. This was slightly offset by the roll off of higher yielding debt securities and increased subordinated debt in South Africa.
Net fee and commission income increased by 7.0% to GBP1,361.2 million (2017: GBP1,271.6 million) supported by higher average funds under management and strong net inflows in the Asset Management and Wealth Management businesses, as well as a good performance from the South African banking businesses.
Investment income reduced by 4.4% to GBP129.7 million (2017: GBP135.6 million) as a result of a weaker performance from the unlisted investment portfolio in South Africa as well as certain of the group's listed investments.
Share of post taxation profit of associates of GBP46.8 million (2017: GBP18.9 million) primarily reflects earnings in relation to the group's investment in the IEP Group.
Trading income arising from customer flow decreased by 12.5% to GBP138.2 million (2017: GBP158.0 million) as a consequence of lower volatility, relative to the elevated levels experienced in the prior year following the Brexit vote, as well as losses incurred in South Africa on Steinhoff (refer to additional information). Trading income from other trading activities reflected a loss of GBP4.3 million (2017: GBP8.1 million income) predominantly impacted by currency volatility over the year.
Impairment losses on loans and advances
Impairments on loans and advances increased from GBP57.1 million to GBP63.9 million; however, the group's credit loss ratio reduced to 0.26% (2017: 0.29%), remaining at the lower end of its long term average. Since 31 March 2017 gross defaults have increased to GBP329.3 million (2017: GBP249.8 million) largely due to a few specific defaults in the UK banking business. The percentage of default loans (net of impairments but before taking collateral into account) to core loans and advances amounted to 0.82% (31 March 2017: 0.69%).
Operating costs
The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income amounted to 66.5% (2017: 65.8%). Total operating costs grew by 8.0% to GBP1,623.2 million (2017: GBP1,502.6 million) reflecting continued investment into IT and digital initiatives and higher headcount across divisions to support increased activity and growth strategies; notably the build out of the UK private client offerings. Cost growth in South Africa was somewhat offset by the pending acquisition of the South African head office building and the related rental provision no longer required.
Taxation
The effective tax rate amounted to 9.6% (2017: 18.5%) mainly impacted by the lower rate in South Africa following the release of provisions no longer required.
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests mainly comprises:
· GBP23.8 million profit attributable to non-controlling interests in the Asset Management business.
· GBP52.6 million profit attributable to non-controlling interests in the Investec Property Fund Limited.
Balance sheet analysis
Since 31 March 2017:
· Total shareholders' equity (including non-controlling interests) increased by 12.9% to GBP5.4 billion largely due to an increase in retained earnings and the issuance of Additional Tier 1 securities during the year.
· Net asset value per share increased 5.0% to 452.5 pence and net tangible asset value per share (which excludes goodwill and intangible assets) increased by 6.5% to 401.5 pence.
· The return on adjusted average shareholders' equity decreased from 12.5% to 12.1%.
· The return on adjusted average shareholders' equity of the ongoing business decreased from 14.2% to 14.1%.
Liquidity and funding
As at 31 March 2018 the group held GBP12.8 billion in cash and near cash balances (GBP5.8 billion in Investec plc and R116.5 billion in Investec Limited) which amounted to 41.4% of customer deposits. Loans and advances to customers as a percentage of customer deposits amounted to 79.6% (31 March 2017: 76.2%). The cost of funding in the UK has been successfully managed down over the year. The group will continue to focus on maintaining an optimal overall liquidity and funding profile. The group comfortably exceeds Basel liquidity requirements for the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). Investec Bank Limited (solo basis) ended the period to 31 March 2018 with the three-month average of its LCR at 133.9% and an NSFR of 108.4%. Further detail with respect to the bank's LCR and NSFR in South Africa is provided on the website. For Investec plc and Investec Bank plc (solo basis) the LCR is calculated using our own interpretations of the EU Delegated Act. The LCR reported to the PRA at 31 March 2018 was 306% for Investec plc and 301% for Investec Bank plc (solo basis). Ahead of the implementation of the final NSFR rules, the group has applied its own interpretations of regulatory guidance and definitions from the BCBS final guidelines to calculate the NSFR which was 142% for Investec plc and 133% for Investec Bank plc (solo basis). The reported NSFR and LCR may change over time with regulatory developments and guidance.
Capital adequacy and leverage ratios
The group is targeting a minimum common equity tier 1 capital ratio above 10% and a total capital adequacy ratio range of 14% to 17% on a consolidated basis for each of Investec plc and Investec Limited respectively. The group's anticipated fully loaded Basel III common equity tier 1 capital adequacy ratios in both Investec plc and Investec Limited are reflected in the table below.

^The capital adequacy disclosures follow Investec's normal basis of presentation so as to show a consistent basis of calculation across the jurisdictions in which the group operates. For Investec plc this does not include the deduction of foreseeable charges and dividends when calculating common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital as required under the Capital Requirements Regulation and European Banking Authority technical standards. The impact of this deduction totalling GBP65 million for Investec plc would lower the CET1 ratio by 45bps (31 March 2017: 45bps).
*The key difference between the 'reported' basis at 31 March 2018 and the 'fully loaded' basis is primarily relating to capital instruments that previously qualified as regulatory capital, but do not fully qualify under the CRD IV rules/ SARB regulations. These instruments continue to be recognised on a reducing basis in the 'reported' figures until 2022.
**Investec Limited's capital information includes unappropriated profits. If unappropriated profits are excluded from the capital information, Investec Limited's common equity tier 1 ratio would be 25bps (31 March 2017: 24bps) lower.
Legacy business - overview of results
Since 31 March 2017 the group's legacy portfolio in the UK has continued to be actively managed down from GBP476 million to GBP313 million through asset sales, redemptions and write-offs. The legacy business reported a loss before taxation of GBP93.5 million (2017: GBP64.6 million) reflecting an increase in impairments for accelerated exits anticipated to occur on certain legacy assets. Total net defaults in the legacy book amounted to GBP90 million (31 March 2017: GBP125 million).
Additional information - Investec exposures to the Steinhoff Group of companies
On 11 December 2017 the group released an announcement on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in relation to its exposures to Steinhoff International Holdings NV (Steinhoff), its subsidiaries and related entities. Trading and investment losses incurred in respect of these exposures amounted to R220 million (approximately GBP13 million) in the current financial year, less than the estimate referred to in the December announcement. As noted in that announcement Investec has credit exposures largely to Steinhoff Africa Holdings (Pty) Ltd subsidiaries and Steinhoff Africa Retail Ltd, which represent a small portion of the group's balance sheet. Based on the information currently available to the group, Investec is not expecting to suffer any losses on these exposures.
Outlook
The group has achieved a satisfactory operating performance, supported by sound growth in key earnings drivers, solid levels of client activity and a robust recurring income base.
Whilst the complexities of Brexit continue to cause uncertainty in the UK economy, the final quarter of the 2018 financial year has started to see an uplift in the South African economic outlook.
The group's continued investment in infrastructure, digital platforms and people means it is well positioned for future growth.
Investec remains committed to delivering shareholder value and has the right people and skills to take advantage of opportunities in its core markets, whilst providing exceptional service to our clients.

Notes to the commentary section above
· Presentation of financial information
Investec operates under a Dual Listed Companies (DLC) structure with primary listings of Investec plc on the London Stock Exchange and Investec Limited on the JSE Limited.
In terms of the contracts constituting the DLC structure, Investec plc and Investec Limited effectively form a single economic enterprise in which the economic and voting rights of ordinary shareholders of the companies are maintained in equilibrium relative to each other. The directors of the two companies consider that for financial reporting purposes, the fairest presentation is achieved by combining the results and financial position of both companies.
Accordingly, the year-end results for Investec plc and Investec Limited present the results and financial position of the combined DLC group under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), denominated in Pounds Sterling. In the commentary above, all references to Investec or the group relate to the combined DLC group comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited.
· Foreign currency impact
The group's reporting currency is Pounds Sterling. Certain of the group's operations are conducted by entities outside the UK. The results of operations and the financial position of the individual companies are reported in the local currencies in which they are domiciled, including Rands, Australian Dollars, Euros and US Dollars. These results are then translated into Pounds Sterling at the applicable foreign currency exchange rates for inclusion in the group's combined consolidated financial statements. In the case of the income statement, the weighted average rate for the relevant period is applied and, in the case of the balance sheet, the relevant closing rate is used.
The following table sets out the movements in certain relevant exchange rates against Pounds Sterling over the period:

Exchange rates between local currencies and Pounds Sterling have fluctuated over the year. The most significant impact arises from the volatility of the Rand. The average exchange rate over the period has appreciated by 6.6% and the closing rate has appreciated by 0.9% since 31 March 2017.
· Accounting policies and disclosures
These unaudited summarised combined consolidated financial results have been prepared in terms of the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards, and the presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS 34, (Interim Financial Reporting).
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for the year ended 31 March 2018 are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017.
Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
The following significant standards and interpretations, which have been issued but are not yet effective for the current financial year, are applicable to the group.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 is effective and will be implemented by the group from 1 April 2018. The group will provide its detailed transitional disclosures when it publishes its annual report for the year ended 31 March 2018 on 29 June 2018.
IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 and sets out the new requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. These requirements focus primarily on the classification and measurement of financial instruments and measurement of impairment losses based on an expected credit loss (ECL) model.
Investec plc and Investec Limited apply the Standardised approach when calculating capital requirements. The impact of IFRS 9 on Investec plc's and Investec Limited's common equity tier 1 (CET 1) ratios is potentially more significant when compared to Internal Ratings Based approach banks, who already deduct from CET 1 capital any excess expected losses over impairment allowances.
Subject to finalisation, the adoption of IFRS 9 is expected to result in the following estimated impact for Investec plc and Investec Limited, respectively.
Investec plc
Balance sheet impairment allowance and provisions
Total balance sheet impairment allowance and provisions are expected to increase by approximately GBP106 million from GBP158 million as at 31 March 2018 to approximately GBP264 million as at 1 April 2018. This is driven by an increase in legacy impairments of approximately GBP57 million and an increase in ongoing impairments of approximately GBP70 million, partially offset by a reduction of approximately GBP21 million as a result of changes in classification and measurement of certain of the group's financial assets to fair value. The increase in impairment allowance and provisions is expected to reduce the CET 1 ratio by approximately 66bps on a fully loaded basis, or approximately 3bps on a day one impact transitional basis.
Changes in classification and measurement of certain financial assets
In addition, changes in classification and measurement to fair value of certain of the group's other financial assets is expected to result in a decrease to equity of approximately GBP11 million (post taxation), with an approximate 7bps impact on the CET 1 ratio.
Reclassification of subordinated liabilities to fair value
As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 Investec plc has elected to designate its subordinated liabilities to fair value. The interest rate portion of the subordinated debt is expected to reduce equity by approximately GBP48 million (post taxation) with an approximate 37bps impact on the day one transitional CET 1 ratio which will come back into retained earnings over the duration of the remaining term of the instrument (maturing February 2022). In addition, an amount of approximately GBP55 million (post taxation) has been transferred to an own credit reserve which does not have an impact on capital ratios.
Taken together, the adoption of IFRS 9 is expected to result in a decrease in Investec plc's transitional CET 1 ratio of approximately 47bps from 11.0% to approximately 10.5%, ahead of the group's target and in excess of minimum regulatory requirements. Investec plc confirmed to the PRA that it will use the transitional arrangements to absorb the full impact permissible of IFRS 9 in regulatory capital calculations.
Investec Limited
Balance sheet impairment allowance and provisions
Total balance sheet impairment allowance and provisions are expected to increase by approximately R657 million from R1.5 billion as at 31 March 2018 to approximately R2.2 billion as at 1 April 2018. This is driven by an increase in stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 impairments of approximately R811 million, partially offset by a reduction of approximately R154 million as a result of the changes in classification and measurement of certain of the group's financial assets to fair value. The increase in impairment allowance and provisions is expected to reduce the CET 1 ratio by approximately 15bps on a fully loaded basis, or approximately 4bps on a day one impact transitional basis.
Changes in classification and measurement of certain financial assets
In addition, changes in classification and measurement of certain of the group's other financial assets is expected to result in a decrease to equity of approximately R419 million (post taxation), with an approximate 16bps impact on the CET 1 ratio.
Taken together, the adoption of IFRS 9 is expected to result in a decrease in Investec Limited's transitional CET 1 ratio of approximately 20bps from 10.2% to approximately 10.0%, in line with the group's target and in excess of minimum regulatory requirements. Investec Limited confirmed to the SARB that it will use the transitional arrangements to absorb the full impact permissible of IFRS 9 in regulatory capital calculations.
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and will be implemented by the group from 1 April 2018. IFRS 15 provides a principles-based approach for revenue recognition and introduces the concept of recognising revenue for obligations as they are satisfied. The group's current measurement and recognition principles are aligned to the standard and the group does not expect an impact to measurement principles currently applied. The impact of the disclosure requirements of the standard is currently being assessed.
The financial results have been prepared under the supervision of Glynn Burger, the Group Risk and Finance Director. The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 will be posted to stakeholders on 29 June 2018. These accounts will be available on the group's website on the same date.

Financial instruments carried at fair value
The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The different levels are identified as follows:
Level 1 - quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
Assets and liabilities related to the long-term assurance business attributable to policyholders have been excluded from the analysis as the change in fair value of related assets is attributable to policyholders. These are all classified as level 1.

During the year, GBP55.3 million has been transferred to level 2 due to an observable input becoming available to the valuation model.
In addition GBP17.9 million has been transferred to level 2 due to valuation methodologies being reviewed and observable inputs being used to determine the fair value.
GBP7.1 million has been transferred into level 3 due to inputs to valuation methods becoming unobservable.
The group transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy when the significance of the unobservable inputs change or if the valuation methods changes.

The sensitivity of the fair value of liabilities arising on securitisation of other assets has been considered together with other securitised assets. |
|
^ |
Other - The valuation sensitivity for the private equity, other equity investments and embedded derivatives (profit share) portfolios has been assessed by adjusting various inputs such as expected cash flows, discount rates, earnings multiples rather than a single input. It is deemed appropriate to reflect the outcome on a portfolio basis for the purposes of this analysis as the sensitivity of the investments cannot be determined through the adjustment of a single input. |

** |
The EBITDA and cash flows have been stressed on an investment-by-investment basis in order to obtain favourable and unfavourable valuations. |
