BUSINESS REVIEW: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES UK REGULATORY UPDATE

Subject Background FCA investigation

– In March 2016 the FCA announced the commencement of investigations into 6 firms, including Countrywide Assured, focusing on whether disclosure of paid up, surrender and early transfer charges to closed book customers was adequate to enable those customers to make informed decisions. – Based on the work undertaken to date c.274,000 policies are in-scope of the investigation. Of these: – c.68,000 were surrendered, transferred or paid up – Fees were recovered on c.13,300 of these (5% of in-scope policies) – An exit, surrender or paid up fee was recovered in relation to c.2,600 policies (1%). – The fee recovered for the remaining c.10,700 policies (4%) was in relation to already accrued but not yet paid capital or initial unit charges. We are continuing to work with the FCA on the investigation. The FCA have confirmed that they: i) are not looking to change terms and conditions of policies ii) will not apply an inappropriate interpretation of the TCF principles to the disclosure during the period the investigation covers iii) will not retrospectively apply standards that did not previously exist during the period the investigation covers Discussions are continuing with the FCA to progress matters following recent requests for further information.

BUSINESS REVIEW: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES UK REGULATORY UPDATE - FURTHER INSIGHTS AND CHESNARA CONTEXT

Issue Insight Factors Chesnara context

Exit fees

The FCA imposed cap of 1% has been implemented with effect from 1 April 2017. The impact of a 1% cap is not material c£1m. However the IFRS impact which was shown at the half year is c£3.5m because it assumes that reserves are increased to the minimum surrender value for all policies.

Communications and disclosure

The legacy review has focused on customer communications and disclosure amongst other things. The FCA investigation is focusing on disclosures as

  • pposed to the

appropriateness of charges per se. Disclosure assessment hierarchy:

  • 1. Fit for statutory purpose
  • 2. Pre legacy review best

practice

  • 3. Post legacy review best

practice There is very little by way of published standards in relation to historic disclosure requirements. There are variations in the communications we issue because of the number of systems we operate, but we believe that our communications are generally consistent with prevailing industry standards. We expect, and are committed to developing our documentation and communications to meet the new forward looking standards set out in the final guidance issued in November 2016.

We announced the acquisition of Legal and General Nederland for cash consideration of €160m in November which is expected to be completed by 6 April 2017. The acquisition is very much in line with our strategy and confirms our belief that the acquisition of the Waard Group in the Netherlands in 2015 would bring further market consolidation opportunities.

– Cash, excluding exceptional items, continues to more than cover the dividend payment. – Following a short term “dip” in the first half of 2016, the UK has recovered and remains the primary source of divisional cash. – Waard has made a notable contribution, although the majority is due to FOREX gains. – Movestic has seen its capital requirement increase as a result of positive fund growth and non-recurring model enhancements which leads to a negative cash generation in the

  • year. Despite this short term loss, the transition

to SII and historic profits, have enabled Movestic to declare it’s inaugural dividend of £2.7m. – Chesnara plc has cash of £117.1m at 31 December 2016 and is expected to receive dividends from divisions of £32.7m. Short term future outflows include payment of the final dividend (£19.0m), funding the LGN acquisition (£58.3m) and next debt repayment (£12.7m). – After the expected funding of the LGN acquisition the Waard Group will have c£31m

distribution to Group or to fund future acquisitions.

Cash reserves and resilient cash generation of closed books gives comfort regarding funding future acquisitions and dividends.

FINANCIAL REVIEW: SOLVENCY II BASED ON THE STANDARD FORMULA WITHOUT TRANSITIONALS

CHESNARA | FINAL RESULTS PRESENTATION 2016

WHAT IS SOLVENCY AND CAPITAL SURPLUS

  • The book value of the company is referred to as its “own funds” (OF) value in EcV.
  • The capital requirement is referred to as the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR).
  • Solvency is expressed as either a ratio: OF/SCR % or as an absolute surplus OF less SCR

MORE ABOUT OWN FUNDS WHAT ARE OWN FUNDS? A valuation which reflects the net assets of the company and includes a value for future profits expected to arise from in-force policies. The own fund valuation is deemed to represent a commercially meaningful figure with the exception of Contract boundaries & Risk margin: We therefore define Economic Value (EcV) as being OF adjusted for contract boundaries and risk margin. As such our “own funds” and “EcV” have many common characteristics and tend to be impacted by the same factors. Transitional measures are available to temporarily increase own funds. Chesnara does not take advantage of such measures. HOW DO OWN FUNDS CHANGE? Own funds (and Economic Value) are sensitive to economic conditions. In general positive equity markets and increasing yields lead to OF growth and vice versa. Other factors that improve own funds include writing profitable new business, reducing the expense base and improvements to lapse rates. MORE ABOUT THE CAPITAL REQUIREMENT WHAT IS CAPITAL REQUIREMENT? The solvency capital requirement can be calculated using a “standard formula” or “internal model”. Chesnara adopt the “standard formula”. The standard formula requires capital to be held against a range of risk categories. The following chart shows the categories and their relative weighting for Chesnara: There are three levels of capital requirement: Min dividend paying requirement Solvency capital requirement Min capital requirement HOW DOES THE SCR CHANGE? Given the largest component of Chesnara’s SCR is market risk, changes in investment mix or changes in the overall value of our assets has the greatest impact on the SCR. For example, equity assets require more capital than low risk bonds. Also, positive investment growth in general creates an increase in SCR. Book run-off will tend to reduce SCR but new business will result in an increase.

Total Market Risk Counterparty Default Risk Total Life Underwriting Risk Total Health Underwriting Risk Operational Risk

SOLVENCY SURPLUS CASH GENERATION

Subject to ensuring other constraints are managed, surplus capital is a useful proxy measure for liquid resources available to fund matters such as dividends, acquisitions or business investment. As such Chesnara defines cash generation as the movement in surplus, above management buffers, during the period.

FINANCIAL REVIEW: SOLVENCY II

Chesnara group

Chesnara Group

– Group solvency remains strong at 158%. On a like for like basis, after removing the impact of the

capital raise and associated costs for the acquisition of LGN, the ratio is 144%.

– Solvency is stated after deducting proposed dividend of £19.0m. – The increase in own funds is principally driven by the impact of the equity raise to fund the LGN

acquisition and the own funds generation in the group’s divisions coupled with positive foreign exchange gains.

– The SCR has increased by £61.0m in the year. This is largely due to increases in the division SCRs,

depreciation of sterling against the Euro and SEK and additional market risk SCR being held for the equity capital raise.

– We have not made use of transitional arrangements in determining our solvency position.

Own Funds (post Div) SCR Buffer Surplus

Highlights: Managing the group and subsidiaries’ capital positions appropriately is a critical part of ensuring we remain true to the group’s culture and values. We are well capitalised at both a group and a subsidiary level, and we have not used any elements of the long term guarantee package.

The divisional graphs on this page present a view of the solvency position which may differ to the position of the individual insurance company(ies) within that division.

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Chesnara group Highlights: – The own funds are most sensitive to equity value movements. – There is a natural hedge in that the SCR declines as equities fall. – When yields drop there is a slight compounding impact on surplus as the SCR increases. – A 10% appreciation in the value of sterling causes the own funds and surplus to fall by c£36m and c£12m respectively. – Economic Value moves in line with the Solvency II own funds sensitivities.

profit of £11.7m and positive mortality experience. – The growth in Economic Value during the period benefited from FOREX gains

  • n our overseas subsidiaries, due

largely to the Brexit vote. – Because Economic Value is derived from Solvency II, we expect EcV profits to align relatively closely to movements to Solvency II “Own Funds” and to have similar sensitivities to Solvency II (see slide 19 )

What is Economic Value?

– The development of the Solvency II balance sheet value “own funds” has led to a general demise of Embedded Value reporting. – Own funds are deemed to underestimate the commercial value of Chesnara due to: – Contract boundaries – Excessive risk margin – We have therefore adjusted our SII valuations for these items to create “Economic Value” – Economic Value does not include any value for the companies capability to write new business or complete acquisitions in the future.
