Investec plc and Investec Limited (combined results)
Unaudited combined consolidated financial results in Pounds Sterling for the
year ended 31 March 2010
Overall performance
Over the past year the group has concentrated on improving the quality of its
balance sheet whilst at the same time moving the organisation onto the front
foot. This has resulted in a satisfactory year end performance, with a
strengthening of both liquidity and capital and an increase of 6.4% in adjusted
earnings per share (EPS) before goodwill and non-operating items from 42.4 pence
to 45.1 pence.
The main features of the year under review are:
Operating profit before goodwill, non-operating items and taxation and after
minorities ("operating profit") increased 8.9% to GBP432.3 million (2009:
GBP396.8 million).
Adjusted earnings attributable to shareholders before goodwill and non-operating
items increased 15.0% to GBP309.7 million (2009: GBP269.2 million).
Net asset value per share increased by 17.9% to 364.0 pence (2009: 308.8 pence)
and net tangible asset value per share (which excludes goodwill and intangible
assets) increased by 21.7% to 324.1 pence (2009: 266.3 pence).
Third party assets under management increased by 50.7% to GBP73.6 billion (2009:
GBP48.8 billion).
Customer accounts (deposits) increased 50.5% to GBP21.9 billion (2009: GBP14.6
billion).
Core loans and advances (excluding own originated securitised assets) as a
percentage of customer deposits improved from 103.6% at 31 March 2009 to 76.2%.
Tier 1 capital adequacy ratios have strengthened in both Investec plc and
Investec Limited (refer to "Operational review" section below).
Low gearing ratios represented by core loans and advances to equity at 5.4 times
(2009: 6.2 times) and total assets (excluding assurance assets) to equity at
12.5 times (2009: 12.9 times).
The board proposes a final dividend of 8.0 pence per ordinary share equating to
a full year dividend of 16.0 pence (2009: 13.0 pence) resulting in a dividend
cover based on the group`s adjusted EPS before goodwill and non-operating items
of 2.8 times (2009: 3.3 times), consistent with the group`s dividend policy.
Operational review
Liquidity and funding
Diversifying Investec`s funding sources has been a key element in improving the
quality of the group`s balance sheet and reducing its reliance on wholesale
funding. The group has been successful in growing customer deposits in all three
core geographies and substantially increasing its cash and near cash balances
from GBP4.9 billion to GBP9.1 billion. The maintenance of cash reserves and a
stock of readily available, high quality liquid assets well in excess of minimum
regulatory requirements remains a core strategy of the group, with these
balances on average representing 20% to 30% of the group`s liability base over
the period.
Capital adequacy
The group holds capital in excess of regulatory requirements targeting a minimum
tier one capital ratio of 11% and a total capital adequacy ratio range of 14% to
17% on a consolidated basis for each of Investec plc and Investec Limited.
Capital ratios are within the group`s target range across all core geographies.
Basel II ratios 31 Mar 2010 31 Mar 2009
Investec plc
Capital adequacy ratio 15.9% 16.2%
Tier 1 ratio 11.3% 10.1%
Investec Limited
Capital adequacy ratio 15.6% 14.2%
Tier 1 ratio 12.1% 10.8%
Asset quality
The bulk of Investec`s credit and counterparty risk arises through its Private
Banking and Capital Markets activities. The Private Bank lends mainly to high
net worth and high income individuals, whilst the Capital Markets division
primarily transacts with mid to large sized corporates, public sector bodies and
institutions. Investec continues to focus on asset quality and credit risk in
all geographies. Impairments and defaults on core loans and advances have
increased in line with guidance previously provided, as detailed in the
"Financial statement analysis" below.
Business unit review
Investec is a focused, specialist bank and asset manager striving to be
distinctive in all that it does. The group seeks to maintain an appropriate
balance between revenue earned from operational risk businesses and revenue
earned from financial risk businesses. This ensures that the group is not over
reliant on any one part of its business to sustain its activities and that it
has a large recurring revenue base that enables it to navigate through varying
cycles and to support its long-term growth objectives.
Investec`s current strategic objectives include increasing the proportion of its
non-lending revenue base which the group largely intends to achieve through the
continued strengthening and development of its wealth and asset management
businesses.
Against this background, the group has modified its segmental reporting
disclosure for the period, effectively separating out its asset and wealth
management activities from its specialist banking activities. This has not
resulted in a restatement of any segmental reporting numbers but has merely
altered the format of the disclosure.
Asset Management
Asset Management reported an increase in operating profit of 26.0% to GBP83.4
million (2009: GBP66.2 million), benefitting from substantial net inflows of
GBP4.7 billion. Since 31 March 2009, assets under management increased by 60.9%
from GBP28.8 billion to GBP46.4 billion.
Private Wealth (previously Private Client Portfolio Management and Stockbroking)
Private Wealth reported an increase in operating profit of 7.4% to GBP25.9
million (2009: GBP24.1 million). The business in South Africa was impacted by
lower activity levels. The results of the UK operations include Investec`s 47.1%
share of the directors` estimate of the post-tax profit of Rensburg Sheppards
plc for the year ended 31 March 2010.
On 30 March 2010, it was announced that Investec and Rensburg Sheppards plc had
reached agreement on the terms of a recommended all share offer under which
Investec will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital
of Rensburg Sheppards plc not already owned by it. Full details of the offer,
which is still subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, can be found on
Investec`s website: http://www.investec.com
Property Activities
Property Activities generated an increase in operating profit of 35.6% to
GBP33.5 million (2009: GBP24.7 million). The results of the division were
largely supported by a satisfactory performance from the investment property
portfolio in South Africa.
Private Banking
Operating profit from the Private Banking division decreased by 54.0% to GBP37.0
million. (2009: GBP80.5 million). The division focused resources during the
period on building its deposit book which increased by 52.3% to GBP11.8 billion
(2009: GBP7.7 billion). Funds under advice also increased 25.0% to GBP4.1
billion (2009: GBP3.3 billion). The private client core lending book grew by
16.7% to GBP12.9 billion (2009: GBP11.1 billion), mainly due to movements in
exchange rates. Activity levels remained muted and impairment losses on loans
and advances increased.
Investment Banking
The Investment Banking division reported an increase of 47.6% in operating
profit to GBP41.6 million (2009: GBP28.2 million). The Principal Investments
division recorded a solid result, primarily driven by an improved performance
from some of the investments held in the UK and Australian portfolio. The Agency
divisions closed fewer transactions in comparison to the prior year and
commissions were impacted by lower volumes.
Capital Markets
Capital Markets reported an increase in operating profit of 26.7% to GBP179.1
million (2009: GBP141.4 million). The division has experienced reasonable levels
of activity across the advisory businesses and took advantage of select debt and
credit opportunities. Trading and balance sheet management activities have,
however, been impacted by the lower rate environment and declining volatility.
Core loans and advances declined 6.1% to GBP4.5 billion (2009:GBP4.8 billion).
Kensington Group plc ("Kensington") produced a stable performance and reported
an operating profit of GBP37.3 million (2009: GBP37.1 million).
Group Services and Other Activities
Group Services and Other Activities contributed GBP31.7 million to operating
profit (2009: GBP31.8 million). The Central Funding division performed well
benefiting from the repurchase of group debt, partially offset by a lower return
on surplus cash.
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
Financial statement analysis
Total operating income
Total operating income net of insurance claims has increased by 11.3% to
GBP1,657 million (2009: GBP1,490 million). Material movements in total operating
income are analysed below.
Net interest income decreased by 11.7% to GBP613.1 million (2009: GBP694.0
million) largely as a result of a lower return generated on excess capital held
given the declining rate environment.
Net fee and commission income increased by 2.6% to GBP545.1 million (2009:
GBP531.5 million). Average funds under management have been supported by
improved market indices and significant net inflows. Transactional activity,
however, remains mixed and below historic trends.
Income from principal transactions increased 65.5% from GBP276.5 million to
GBP457.8 million. The group has benefited from the repurchase of its debt,
opportunities taken in the dislocated credit markets and good trading conditions
across all geographies.
Operating income from associates decreased by 6.8% to GBP11.6 million (2009:
GBP12.4 million). The figure includes Investec`s 47.1% share of the directors`
estimate of the post-tax profit of Rensburg Sheppards plc for the year ended 31
March 2010.
The consolidation of the operating results of certain investments held within
the group`s Private Equity portfolio is partly reflected in other operating
income/loss, which improved from a loss of GBP30.2 million to a gain of GBP22.7
million.
As a result of the foregoing factors, recurring income as a percentage of total
operating income decreased to 60.4% (2009: 70.0%).
Impairment losses on loans and advances
The weaker credit cycle has caused a decline in the performance of the group`s
loan portfolio. In line with previous guidance provided, impairment losses on
loans and advances have increased from GBP163.0 million to GBP205.4 million
(excluding Kensington). The credit loss charge as a percentage of average gross
loans and advances is 1.16%, marginally higher than the 1.08% reported at 31
March 2009.The percentage of default loans (net of impairments but before taking
collateral into account) to core loans and advances has increased from 3.3% to
4.0% since 31 March 2009. The ratio of collateral to default loans (net of
impairments) remains satisfactory at 1.33 times (2009: 1.22 times).
Impairment losses on loans and advances relating to the Kensington business
amount to GBP81.2 million (2009: GBP93.2 million). The total Kensington book has
reduced to GBP4.7 billion from GBP5.2 billion at 31 March 2009. The percentage
of accounts in arrears has increased as the book continues to run off.
Administrative expenses and depreciation
The ratio of total operating expenses to total operating income amounts to 57.8%
(2009:55.9%).
Total expenses grew by 14.9% to GBP957.2 million (2009: GBP833.3 million)
largely as a result of the appreciation of the Rand and an increase in variable
remuneration in certain divisions given improved profitability. Total staff
compensation costs increased by 15.0% to GBP598.1 million (2009:GBP520.2
million), resulting in a compensation ratio of 36.1% (2009:34.9%). Other
operating expenses increased by 14.7% to GBP359.1 million.
Impairment of goodwill
The current period goodwill impairment relates to Asset Management businesses
acquired in prior years.
Taxation
The operational effective tax rate of the group decreased from 21.1% to 20.6% as
a result of an increase in income earned that is subject to lower tax rates or
is non-taxable.
Losses attributable to minority interests
Losses attributable to minority interests of GBP18.8 million largely comprise:
GBP12.3 million relating to investments consolidated in the Private Equity
division;
GBP6.9 million relating to Euro denominated preferred securities issued by a
subsidiary of Investec plc which are reflected on the balance sheet as part of
minority interests. (The transaction is hedged and a forex transaction profit
arising on the hedge is reflected in operating profit before goodwill with the
equal and opposite impact reflected in earnings attributable to minorities).
Balance sheet analysis
Since 31 March 2009:
Total shareholders` equity (including minority interests) increased by 25.6% to
GBP3.3 billion largely as a result of retained earnings and the issue of shares.
Total assets increased from GBP37.4 billion to GBP46.6 billion largely as a
result of increased cash holdings and movement in exchange rates.
The return on adjusted average shareholders` equity declined from 14.8% to
13.5%.
Outlook
Investec has built its capital, liquidity and third party assets under
management over the period under review. The foundation is now in place for
further growth both in the group`s non capital intensive asset management
businesses as well as in its core specialist banking businesses. Although the
economic situation remains uncertain the business is oriented towards capturing

Notes to the commentary section above
Presentation of financial information
Investec operates under a Dual Listed Companies (DLC) structure with
premium/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 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.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives included in the
commentary above relate to the year ended 31 March 2009.
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 condition 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:
Year to date 31 Mar 2010 31 Mar 2009
Currency per GBP1.00 Close Ave Close Ave
South African Rand 11.11 12.38 13.58 14.83
Australian Dollar 1.66 1.88 2.07 2.19
Euro 1.12 1.13 1.08 1.21
Dollar 1.52 1.59 1.43 1.73
Exchange rates between local currencies and Pounds Sterling have fluctuated over
the period. The most significant impact arises from the appreciation of the
Rand. The average exchange rate over the period has appreciated by 16.5% and the
closing rate has appreciated by 18.2% since 31 March 2009.
Accounting policies and disclosures
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for the year
ended 31 March 2010 are consistent with those adopted in the financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2009, except for the adoption of the
following standards and interpretations:
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised)
IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes
The adoption of these standards and interpretations had no material effect on
the results and no resulting prior year restatements.
These unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements 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.
Investec operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to
litigation risks. As a result, Investec is involved in disputes and legal
proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Investec does not
expect the ultimate resolution of any of the proceedings to which Investec is
party to have a significant adverse effect on the financial position of the
group. These claims, if any cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Restatements
The group applies a policy of offsetting financial assets and financial
liabilities when there is both an intention to settle on a net basis (or
simultaneously) and a legal right to offset exists. With regard to derivative
instruments, the group identified that in certain isolated instances offsetting
was applied in prior financial periods to derivative assets and liabilities
where it is not market practice to settle net, whilst the legal right to settle
net exists. The impact of this restatement on the balance sheet of the two prior
years is noted below:
GBP`000 31 Mar 2009 31 Mar 2008
Restated
Derivative financial instrument assets 1,843,143 1,425,587
Derivative financial instrument liabilities 1,456,561 1,001,900
As previously reported
Derivative financial instrument assets 1,582,908 1,305,264
Derivative financial instrument liabilities 1,196,326
881,577
Change to previously reported
Derivative financial instrument assets 260,235 120,323
Derivative financial instrument liabilities 260,235
120,323
The above restatements have no impact on equity and the net cash position.
