News Release

Aviva plc

Interim management statement for the three months to 31 March 2015

7 May 2015

Aviva plc First Quarter 2015

Interim Management Statement

 

 

Mark Wilson, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

 

"Aviva's turnaround is on track and ahead of schedule. It's been a busy quarter. We have completed the acquisition of Friends Life and at the same time delivered an improvement in our key metrics. Value of new business is up, our general insurance combined operating ratio has improved and our IFRS book value has grown over the quarter. In the face of unpredictable global markets, we continue to improve the Group's resilience.

 

"Detailed plans to integrate Friends Life are well underway and whilst this is a challenging and complex project, we are confident of timely progress. We expect 2015 to be a year of continued delivery of our turnaround plan."

 

 

The acquisition of Friends Life was completed on 10 April 2015, after the period to which this trading statement applies. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, all numbers outside of the Friends Life section are for Aviva standalone.

· Value of new business (VNB) grew 14%1 to £247 million (1Q14: £224 million)

· UK Life VNB grew 15% to £103 million (1Q14: £89 million), driven by higher equity release and pensions, which more than offset a reduction in annuity VNB

· Asia2 VNB grew 16%1 to £36 million (1Q14: £29 million)

General insurance

· UKGI net written premiums up 1% to £855 million (1Q14: £845 million)

Cash

· Economic capital surplus3 £8.1 billion (FY14: £8.0 billion), coverage ratio 177% (FY14: 178%)

· The acquisition of Friends Life added c.55p to our NAV per share on closure4

· Standalone external leverage ratio 40% of tangible capital (FY14: 41%), 28% on an S&P basis (FY14: 28%). Adjusted for Friends Life, estimated leverage ratios are 36% and 27% respectively on closure, well within our target range

· Holding company liquidity of £1.8 billion at 30 April 2015 including Friends Life

Friends Life

· Friends Life transaction completed on 10 April 2015 and detailed integration plans are being implemented

· Positive corporate benefits net flows of £0.2 billion, corporate benefits AUA 7% higher at £23.6 billion (FY14: £22.0 billion)

· Friends Life VNB declined to £20 million (1Q14: £32 million), driven by the expected decline in retirement income VNB following last year's Budget announcement

Group Chief Executive Officer's report

Overview

In the first quarter of 2015, key metrics have improved. Value of new business (VNB) is up 14%1, the combined operating ratio (COR) has improved 1.3 percentage points and our IFRS net asset value per share is 8p higher at 348p. Our UK general insurance business has grown 1% in a market environment that continues to be competitive. In asset management, our flagship AIMS range of funds now has £1.2 billion under management.

 

The Friends Life acquisition closed on 10 April 2015 and work on implementing our detailed integration plans has begun in earnest. We have already announced the closure of the Friends Life head office in London and in Exeter moved to smaller premises.

 

Despite lower interest rates and adverse foreign currency developments, our economic capital surplus3 has remained broadly constant at £8.1 billion (FY14: £8.0 billion) with a coverage ratio of 177% (FY14: 178%). We continue to work closely with our regulators ahead of Solvency II implementation and our long-standing focus on managing the Group using economic capital helps the transition.

 

Our strategy of building a true customer composite, growing our digital business, improving our efficiency, integrating Friends Life and implementing Solvency II leaves no room for complacency.

 

Cash

Operating capital generation (OCG) has increased to £0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2015 (1Q14: £0.4 billion), driven primarily by UK and Ireland Life, which benefitted from a one-off Pillar One capital release from the transfer of our Irish life business to the UK. We plan to replace OCG with a more relevant measure of capital generation once Solvency II is fully implemented.

 

Life insurance

 

· Value of new business
up 14% in constant
currency

· UK Life VNB 15% higher driven by strong equity release

 

Value of new business, our growth measure for life insurance, increased 14% in constant currency to £247 million (1Q14: £224 million).

 

UK Life, the largest contributor to VNB, grew 15% to £103 million, driven by a combination of strong equity release and pensions. Protection VNB was broadly flat and annuities VNB was down 60%, following last year's Budget changes. Platform assets under administration have increased 19% to £6.3 billion (FY14: £5.3 billion) with £0.8 billion of positive net fund flows. Pension freedom began on 6 April 2015 and our front line staff were well prepared for the increased volume of enquiries.

 

Performance in our growth markets of Poland, Turkey and Asia was more subdued in the first quarter although underlying trends remain attractive. Poland2 VNB was 22%1 lower at £15 million (1Q14: £21 million) due to the non-repeat of an £8 million benefit to VNB in 2014 from pension regulatory change in Lithuania, whose financial reporting is incorporated into Poland. Excluding this, Polish2 VNB grew 24%1. In Turkey, VNB grew 4%1 to £6 million (1Q14: £6 million) as the impact of underlying growth was partially offset by a reduction in our share of the business following the partial IPO. Asia2 grew 16%1 as strong performances in China and Singapore were partly offset by India.

 

In our developed European markets, France VNB grew 15%1 to £56 million (1Q14: £54 million), principally due to a shift to higher margin protection and unit-linked savings business, which together now make up 80% of VNB (1Q14: 72%). Italy2 continued its turnaround, with 44%1 growth in VNB to £19 million (1Q14: £15 million), mostly driven by a re-price of our traditional savings product offering. Spain2 and Ireland grew 14%1 and 1%1 respectively, albeit from low bases.

 

We exercised financial discipline in our approach to renew our DBS bancassurance agreement which will expire at the end of 2015. Aviva will retain the existing book of business, associated profits and customer rights and relationships which were purchased in the original transaction with DBS in 2001.

General insurance

 

· COR improved 1.3pp to 96.4%

· GI and health net
written premiums
2% higher in constant currency

 

Our general insurance combined operating ratio (COR) improved 1.3 percentage points to 96.4% (1Q14: 97.7%) due to an improved expense ratio and lower weather losses. Favourable reserve development improved the underlying COR by 0.7 percentage points (1Q14: 1.5pp). General insurance and health net written premiums were 2% higher in constant currency at £2,037 million.

 

The UK COR improved 0.3 percentage points to 98.3% (1Q14: 98.6%). Net written premiums grew 1% in the quarter, in a market rating environment that continues to be competitive.

 

In Canada, the COR improved 4.6 percentage points to 98.1% (1Q14: 102.7%) reflecting better overall weather experience, albeit claims frequency remained above long term average. Net written premiums are 1%1 lower mainly due to selected exits from unprofitable business lines.

 

The European COR improved to 89.8% (1Q14: 92.0%) through a combination of better weather in France and a lower expense ratio across all markets. General insurance and health net written premiums grew 2%1 to £488 million (1Q14: £534 million).  

 

Asset Management

 

· AIMS now has
£1.2 billion of FUM

 

The turnaround in our asset management business continues. Gross sales of £1.6 billion are encouraging but we have to see the level of redemptions fall. We have introduced a proactive retention programme to retain and grow key funds. The AIMS flagship range of funds now has £1.2 billion of funds under management and performance is strong, with the AIMS Target Return Fund up 9% in the first 9 months after launch. Work is underway to build distribution through Virtus Investment Partners in the United States and we are actively working towards securing more international agreements.

 

We have already transferred c.£20 billion of funds that were directly managed by Friends Life Group to Aviva Investors. Preparations to receive Friends Life funds managed by external parties are underway.

 

Friends Life

 

· Growth in protection
VNB and corporate
benefits FUM

 

In the first quarter, Friends Life value of new business declined to £20 million (1Q14: £32 million) driven principally by a decline in retirement income VNB, following last year's Budget changes regarding annuities. Protection VNB grew 6% and Friends Life had positive net fund flows in corporate benefits.

 

Corporate benefits funds under management have increased 7% over the quarter to £23.6 billion (FY14: £22.0 billion) following £0.2 billion of net inflows and £1.4 billion of positive net market movements. International VNB reduced to £2 million (1Q14: £3 million).

 

Balance Sheet

 

· Economic capital surplus3 resilient at £8.1 billion (FY14: £8.0 billion)

· IFRS NAV per share up 8p  to 348p

 

A resilient capital base is important for our cash flow plus growth thesis. At the end of the first quarter of 2015, our economic capital surplus3 was £0.1 billion higher at £8.1 billion (FY14: £8.0 billion), a coverage ratio of 177% (FY14: 178%). Our relatively low risk portfolio of businesses and active hedging programme meant that interest rate and currency movements experienced in the first quarter had little impact on our economic capital surplus.

 

Our IFRS book value per share increased 2% over the quarter to 348p per share (FY14: 340p). Operating profits, positive investment variances and a small gain in our pension surplus more than offset the negative impact of foreign exchange movements. The acquisition of Friends Life adds c.55p to our Group IFRS book value per share on closure4.

 

The increase in our IFRS book value has brought down our debt leverage to 40% of tangible book value (FY14: 41%), and our S&P leverage ratio is 28% (FY14: 28%). On closure, we expect the Friends Life acquisition to reduce both of these ratios by 4 and 1 percentage points respectively. Our external leverage is now within our target range.

3    The economic capital surplus represents 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.

Solvency II

 

 

The European insurance industry will adopt Solvency II on 1 January 2016. We anticipate publishing our 2015 Solvency II capital position at our preliminary results in March next year. Our current reported economic capital surplus and composition may differ under Solvency II from the current regulatory regime, including the use of transitional measures on our back book.

 

Good progress has been made on the implementation of Solvency II and we continue to work closely with our regulators prior to formal application for partial internal model approval in June 2015. As previously communicated, we will adopt a standard formula basis for Friends Life initially, transitioning to our internal model over time.

 

We are managing the Group taking into account our current understanding of how the Solvency II rules are likely to apply, albeit there remains uncertainty regarding the final outcome. Our long-standing focus on managing the Group using economic capital helps the transition.

 

Outlook

 

We have had an acceptable start to 2015 with key metrics moving in the right direction. With completion of the Friends Life acquisition, we now have the opportunity to execute on our detailed integration plans. In the other parts of the Group that are not impacted by the integration, our focus is on improving cash flow and growth.

 

The Group is well positioned to deal with the macro, market and regulatory headwinds that face the sector and I am confident that 2015 will see continued progress.

A1 - Basis of preparation

Given that the acquisition of Friends Life Group Limited ("Friends Life") by Aviva plc ("Aviva") did not complete until 10 April 2015, unless otherwise stated the information included in this announcement and Part A of the statistical supplement excludes Friends Life's results for the three months ended 31 March 2015 and does not include the effect of the acquisition of Friends Life.

 

Part B of the statistical supplement sets out Friends Life's VNB, PVNBP, APE and assets under administration for the three months ended 31 March 2015, prior to the acquisition of Friends Life by Aviva. For the avoidance of doubt this information is presented unadjusted on Friends Life's basis prior to acquisition by Aviva. The reporting basis will be adjusted to align with Aviva for future reporting.

Part B of the statistical supplement sets out Friends Life's VNB, PVNBP, APE and assets under administration for the three months ended 31 March 2015, prior to the acquisition of Friends Life by Aviva. For the avoidance of doubt this information is presented unadjusted on Friends Life's basis prior to acquisition by Aviva. The reporting basis will be adjusted to align with Aviva for future reporting.

All results are presented excluding Lombard.
