Investec plc and Investec Limited (combined results)
Unaudited combined consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2017
This announcement covers the results of the Investec group for the six months ended 30 September 2017. |
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 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 six months ended 30 September 2016. Group results have benefited from a 14.7% appreciation of the average Rand: Pounds Sterling exchange rate over the period. Amounts represented on a currency neutral basis for income statement items assume that the relevant average exchange rates for the six month period to 30 September 2017 remain the same as those in the prior period. Balance sheet items have been negatively impacted by a 7.9% depreciation of the closing Rand:Pounds Sterling exchange rate since 31 March 2017. Amounts represented on a currency neutral basis for balance sheet items assume that the relevant closing exchange rates at 30 September 2017 remain the same as those at 31 March 2017.
Overview of results
Sound growth in key earnings drivers · The Asset Management and Wealth & Investment businesses have benefited from higher funds under management supported by favourable equity markets and combined net inflows of GBP3.6 billion. · The Specialist Banking businesses have continued to see good growth in loan portfolios and client activity, notwithstanding the persistent macro uncertainty in both geographies. · The group has continued to invest for growth with the increase in costs largely reflecting planned spend in growing the client franchise businesses. · Digital and online innovation and enhancements across the group, coupled with a high touch client centric service model has further entrenched the strength of our franchises particularly in the private banking and wealth management businesses. · Geographical and operational diversity continues to support a sustainable recurring income base and earnings through varying market conditions.

Investec plc and Investec Limited (combined results)
Unaudited combined consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2016
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 10.5% to GBP347.5 million (2016: GBP314.5 million) - an increase of 0.9% on a currency neutral basis.
The combined South African businesses reported operating profit 7.9% ahead of the prior period (in Rands), whilst the combined UK and Other businesses posted a 5.0% decrease in operating profit in Pounds Sterling.
Business unit review - ongoing basis
Asset Management
Asset Management operating profit increased 1.2% to GBP83.2 million (2016: GBP82.3 million). The business benefited from higher average funds under management supported by positive market movements and solid net inflows of GBP2.1 billion. Earnings were negatively impacted by lower performance fees in South Africa. Total funds under management amount to GBP98.2 billion (31 March 2017: GBP95.3 billion).
Wealth & Investment
Wealth & Investment operating profit increased by 14.7% to GBP49.5 million (2016: GBP43.2 million) supported by higher average funds under management and net inflows of GBP1.5 billion. The UK business had a strong performance while earnings in South Africa have been impacted by lower brokerage volumes. Total funds under management amount to GBP55.5 billion (31 March 2017: GBP54.8 billion).
Specialist Banking
Specialist Banking operating profit increased by 12.5% to GBP239.4 million (2016: GBP212.8million).
The South African business reported an increase in operating profit in Rands of 21.6%. Earnings were supported by a strong performance from the investment portfolio. Growth in the private banking franchise as well as a good performance from the corporate treasury and corporate advisory businesses resulted in an increase in fees. Core loans and advances increased 6.5% to R251.5 billion (31 March 2017: R236.2 billion). The credit loss ratio on average core loans and advances amounted to 0.30% (2016: 0.29%), remaining at the lower end of its long term average, despite the business reporting an increase in impairments.
The UK and Other businesses reported a 22.1% decrease in operating profit. Strong growth in net interest income was supported by loan book growth of 4.1% to GBP8.5 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 period. 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. Costs are also impacted by the additional premises expenses relating to the London office move scheduled for the end of the 2018 calendar year. The credit loss ratio amounted to 0.22% (2016: 0.04%) as impairments increased off a particularly low base.
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 GBP24.7 million (2016: GBP23.8 million).
Financial statement analysis - ongoing basis
Total operating income
Total operating income before impairment losses on loans and advances increased by 13.2% to GBP1,190.9 million (2016: GBP1,052.3 million).
Net interest income increased by 16.0% to GBP364.4 million (2016: GBP314.2 million) driven by sound levels of lending activity across the banking businesses and a reduction in the UK's cost of funding.
Net fee and commission income increased by 9.4% to GBP666.0 million (2016: GBP608.6 million) as a result of higher average funds under management over the period and net inflows in the Asset Management and Wealth Management businesses. In addition, the Specialist Banking business in South Africa benefited from growth in the private banking franchise and a good performance from the corporate treasury and corporate advisory businesses.
Investment income increased significantly to GBP61.9 million (2016: GBP28.8 million) driven by a strong performance from the South African investment portfolio partially offset by less realisations in the UK investment portfolios.
Share of post taxation operating profit of associates of GBP23.7 million (2016: GBP9.6 million) primarily reflects earnings in relation to the group's investment in the IEP Group.
Trading income arising from customer flow decreased by 12.7% to GBP64.2 million (2016: GBP73.5 million) as a consequence of lower volatility relative to the elevated levels experienced in the prior period following the Brexit vote. Trading income from other trading activities reflected a profit of GBP5.1 million (2016: GBP12.4 million).
Impairment losses on loans and advances
Impairments on loans and advances increased from GBP18.0 million to GBP31.1 million; however the group's annualised credit loss ratio remains at the lower end of its long term average at 0.28% (2016: 0.19%). Since 31 March 2017 gross defaults have reduced from GBP249.8 million to GBP218.9 million. The percentage of default loans (net of impairments but before taking collateral into account) to core loans and advances amounted to 0.56% (31 March 2017: 0.69%).
Operating costs
The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income improved marginally amounting to 66.5% (2016: 66.7%). Total operating costs grew by 12.9% to GBP792.5 million (2016: GBP701.8 million) reflecting continued planned spend on IT infrastructure and higher headcount across divisions to support increased activity and growth initiatives; notably the build out of the UK private client offering. Costs are also impacted by additional premises expenses relating to the London office's future premises move.
Taxation
The effective tax rate amounts to 14.5% (2016: 19.4%) 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:
· GBP10.7 million profit attributable to non-controlling interests in the Asset Management business.
· GBP19.9 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) remained in line at GBP4.8 billion - an increase of 3.7% on a currency neutral basis. The weakening of the closing Rand exchange rate relative to Pounds Sterling has resulted in a reduction in total equity of GBP221 million.
· Net asset value per share decreased 2.1% to 421.8 pence and net tangible asset value per share (which excludes goodwill and intangible assets) decreased 1.8% to 370.2 pence largely as a result of the depreciation of the Rand as described above. On a currency neutral basis net asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share increased by 1.8% and 2.5%, respectively.
· The annualised return on adjusted average shareholders' equity remained at 12.5%.
· The annualised return on adjusted average shareholders' equity of the ongoing business reduced marginally from 14.2% to 14.1%.
Liquidity and funding
As at 30 September 2017 the group held GBP10.7 billion in cash and near cash balances (GBP5.0 billion in Investec plc and R102.6 billion in Investec Limited) which amounted to 38.2% of customer deposits. Loans and advances to customers as a percentage of customer deposits amounted to 79.9% (31 March 2017: 76.2%). The cost of funding in the UK has continued to be managed down. The group will continue to focus on maintaining an optimal overall liquidity and funding profile. Based on the group's own interpretations of the EU Delegated Act and in line with the BCBS' final recommendations, Investec plc and Investec Bank plc (solo basis) comfortably exceed the relevant regulatory liquidity requirements for the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). The LCR reported to the Prudential Regulatory Authority at 30 September 2017 was 610% for Investec plc and 520% for Investec Bank plc (solo basis). Investec Bank Limited (solo basis) ended the period to 30 September 2017 with the three-month average of its LCR at 127.0%, which is well ahead of the minimum levels required. Further detail with respect to the bank's LCR ratio in the UK and South Africa is provided on the website.
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. 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.
30 Sep 2017 | 31 March 2017 | |
Investec plc^ | ||
Capital adequacy ratio | 14.5% | 15.1% |
Tier 1 ratio | 11.4% | 11.5% |
Common equity tier 1 ratio | 11.2% | 11.3% |
Common equity tier 1 ratio (anticipated Basel III 'fully loaded'*) | 11.2% | 11.3% |
Leverage ratio (current) | 8.0% | 7.8% |
Leverage ratio (anticipated Basel III 'fully loaded'*) | 7.9% | 7.7% |
Investec Limited** | ||
Capital adequacy ratio | 14.3% | 14.1% |
Tier 1 ratio | 10.8% | 10.7% |
Common equity tier 1 ratio | 10.0% | 9.9% |
Common equity tier 1 ratio (anticipated Basel III 'fully loaded'*) | 10.0% | 9.9% |
Leverage ratio (current) | 7.6% | 7.3% |
Leverage ratio (anticipated Basel III 'fully loaded'*) | 7.2% | 6.8% |
*Based on the group's understanding of current and draft regulations, 'fully loaded' is based on Basel III capital requirements as fully phased in by 2022.
^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 dividends when calculating CET1 capital as now required under the CRR and EBA technical standards. The impact of the final proposed ordinary and preference dividends totalling GBP43 million for Investec plc would be 31bps (31 March 2017: 45bps) lower on this basis.
**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 15bps (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 GBP425 million largely through asset sales, redemptions and write-offs. The total legacy business over the period reported a loss before taxation of GBP32.9 million (2016: GBP33.0 million). The remaining legacy portfolio will continue to be managed down. Total net defaults in the legacy book amount to GBP106 million (31 March 2017: GBP125 million).
Outlook
Whilst the global economy has improved our two key geographies suffer from continued political uncertainty.
Notwithstanding this, the group has continued to improve in shape and capability. Further progress has been made in dealing with the UK legacy book and the development of the private bank in the UK is gaining traction, as are the various digital initiatives. The continued investment in infrastructure and people across the group is indicative of the group's confidence in the franchise and will position the businesses appropriately for future growth and development.

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 interim 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:
Six months to 30 Sep 2017 | Year to 31 Mar 2017 | Six months to 30 Sep 2016 | ||||
Currency per GBP1.00 | Period end | Average | Period end | Average | Period end | Average |
South African Rand | 18.10 | 17.06 | 16.77 | 18.42 | 17.88 | 19.99 |
Australian Dollar | 1.71 | 1.69 | 1.64 | 1.75 | 1.70 | 1.83 |
Euro | 1.13 | 1.14 | 1.17 | 1.19 | 1.16 | 1.23 |
US Dollar | 1.34 | 1.30 | 1.25 | 1.31 | 1.30 | 1.38 |
Exchange rates between local currencies and Pounds Sterling have fluctuated over the period. The most significant impact arises from the volatility of the Rand. The average exchange rate over the period has appreciated by 14.7% and the closing rate has depreciated by 7.9% 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 period to 30 September 2017 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, are applicable to the group.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
The group will adopt IFRS 9 Financial Instruments on 1 April 2018.
The group expects that the recognition and measurement basis of the majority of the group's financial assets will be largely unchanged on application of IFRS 9, based on the analysis performed to date.
The impairment requirements will lead to significant changes in the accounting treatment for certain financial instruments as a result of a shift from an incurred loss to an expected loss impairment methodology. Credit risk methodologies have been defined and model build has significantly been completed. Approval, testing and validation of the models is ongoing.
IFRS 9 includes an accounting policy choice to remain with IAS 39 hedge accounting. The group intends to continue applying IAS 39's hedge accounting.
The classification and measurement and impairment requirements are applied retrospectively by adjusting the opening balance sheet at the date of initial application, with no requirement to restate comparative periods. The group does not intend to restate comparatives.
The regulatory capital impact of IFRS 9 has been proposed by regulatory bodies with transitional capital arrangements being announced for 1 January 2018 which would allow a phase in of the Day 1 capital impact over a number of years.
It will not be practical to disclose reliable financial impact estimates until the implementation programme and validation and testing is further advanced.
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
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 six months to 30 September 2017 will be posted to stakeholders on 30 November 2017. 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.

^ Other - The valuation sensitivity for the private equity 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 has been stressed on an investment by investment basis to obtain a favourable and unfavourable valuation.
