Group restructuring
Having obtained the requisite shareholder and regulatory approval, RMBH
implemented a far reaching restructuring on 7 March 2011. This included,
inter alia, the following steps:
* the issue of new RMBH ordinary shares to Royal Bafokeng Holdings
(Proprietary) Limited for a cash consideration of R2,5 billion;
* the acquisition by RMBH of additional FirstRand Limited
("FirstRand") ordinary shares in exchange for the issue of new
RMBH ordinary shares, thereby increasing RMBH`s holding in
FirstRand to 33,9%;
* the separation of RMBH`s insurance and banking interests,
through the transfer of RMBH`s insurance interests to a wholly-
owned subsidiary, Rand Merchant Insurance Holdings Limited ("RMI
Holdings"); and
* the unbundling of RMI Holdings to RMBH`s ordinary shareholders
on a one-for-one basis and the separate listing of RMI Holdings
on the JSE as an insurance-focused investment entity.
After the restructuring, RMBH`s sole interest is its 33,9% investment in
FirstRand, one of South Africa`s pre-eminent banking groups.
RMBH`s results for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 thus represents an
amalgam of its attributable share of FirstRand`s income (after recognising
the change in interest during the year) and its attributable share of the
income of its insurance interests up to the unbundling thereof. This,
together with accounting for the restructuring itself, gives rise to a
number of counter-intuitive outcomes in the reported results.
To overcome the impact of this, the commentary focuses on normalised
earnings from continuing operations as its main measurement. A
reconciliation of the adjustments made to derive normalised earnings is
presented in the accompanying schedules. The computation of normalised
earnings has not been audited.
Overview of results
Global economic growth started to moderate in the first half of 2011,
particularly in highly-indebted, developed economies and sentiment was
further dampened by increased concern over the fiscal health of certain
peripheral Eurozone nations.
Factors that weighed on global economic activity included the devastating
Japanese earthquake (resulting in the disruption of global supply chains);
political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East; adverse weather
conditions; and growing demand from emerging market economies (pushing oil
and grain prices upwards).
Against this uncertain global economic backdrop, the South African economy
held up well, registering quarterly growth rates above 2,5% during the
financial year. South African consumers, who benefited from low debt service
costs and robust real income growth, were the main drivers behind this
expansion. In addition, increased global commodity prices provided support
to the South African export sector. However, employment growth, demand for
credit and investment spending by the private sector stayed sluggish.
Inflation remained within the South African Reserve Bank`s ("SARB") target
band.
RMBH continued to build on its strong first half performance to produce
excellent results for the financial year to 30 June 2011, achieving
normalised earnings from continuing operations of R3,09 billion, an
increase of 28% on the previous year.
After taking cognisance of the ordinary shares issued during the year, the
following outcome was achieved:
Year ended 30 June 2011 Cents % change
per on prior
share year
* Attributable earnings 321,9c +60
* Headline earnings 231,7c +15
* Normalised earnings 241,3c +21
Sources of income
FirstRand`s well-diversified income stream is drawn from the full spectrum
of banking services and is predominantly sourced from Southern Africa.
RMBH`s proportional interest therein may be extrapolated as follows:
Retail banking 47%
Corporate banking 20%
Investment banking 33%
RMBH capital position and borrowings
At the end of June 2011, RMBH`s net borrowings at holding company level
amounted to some R1,37 billion (2010: R0,75 billion). We anticipate that
borrowings can be maintained at this level.
The intrinsic value of RMBH`s investment portfolio reflects the effect of
the unbundling that took place during the year, with the values at year end
being as follows:
As at 30 June 2011 2010
R million
Market value of interest in FirstRand 37 922 30 609
Net borrowings (1 368) (754)
Market value of interest in FirstRand after 36 554 29 855
borrowings
Assets unbundled - 8 860
Total Intrinsic Value 36 554 38 715
Per RMBH share (cents) 2 589c 3 202c
At 30 June 2011 RMBH`s market capitalisation amounted to R37,7 billion
or 2 665c per share, representing a 2,9% premium to the group`s underlying
intrinsic value.
Dividend payment
RMBH has traditionally followed the practice of returning substantially all
net dividends (after providing for funding and other costs incurred at the
centre) received by it in the ordinary course of business to shareholders.
It is envisaged that this practice will continue after the group
restructuring.
For the year ended 30 June 2011, RMBH`s normalised earnings from continuing
operations (that is after recognizing the impact of the unbundling of RMI
Holdings) amounted to 241,3 cents per share (2010: 199,2 cents).
The Board is of the opinion that RMBH is adequately capitalised at this
stage and that the company will be able to meet its obligations in the
foreseeable future after payment of the final dividend declared below.
Having due regard to the final dividend receivable from FirstRand and
applying the dividend practice outlined above, the Board of RMBH has
declared a final dividend of 58,3 cents per share. Such final dividend,
together with the interim dividend of 42,7 cents brings the total dividends
for the year ended 30 June 2011 to 101,0 cents (2010: 124,0 cents). Such
dividend is covered 2,4 times by normalised earnings per share.
In total, an RMBH shareholder who has retained his RMI Holdings shares from
the unbundling would have received the following ordinary dividends per
share for the year ended 30 June 2011:
2011 2010 %
Cents per share Interim Final Total Total change
RMBH 42,7 58,3 101,0 124,0
RMI Holdings 22,8 33,7 56,5 -
65,5 92,0 157,5 124,0 +27%
The Board of RMBH is of the view that the level of borrowings that the group
currently carries at the centre is appropriate. Consistent with its policy
of not retaining surplus resources at the centre, the Board has decided to
return the proceeds of the special dividend declared by FirstRand to
shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of RMBH has declared a special dividend
of 95,0 cents per share.
Outlook for the coming year
Significant disquiet in global markets results in a highly uncertain
outlook. We expect that domestic economic conditions will remain subdued in
the current financial year. Growth in retail advances will remain low and
given current levels of corporate capacity, investment opportunities will be
limited and growth in corporate advances is therefore expected to remain
subdued.
Given the revenue pressures resulting from such a low growth macro
environment, FirstRand continues to drive cost efficiencies.
In addition, FirstRand`s operating franchises will continue to focus on
opportunities in those market segments that display growth trends, and where
they remain under-represented. With the exception of WesBank which
anticipates a healthy lending landscape in both corporate and retail
portfolios, overall balance sheet growth will be tough to generate.
However, non-interest revenue should remain healthy, particularly given
FNB`s focus on innovation and customer service delivery and the strength of
RMB`s investing, trading and advisory franchises.
GDP growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to further strengthen in 2011
and 2012 and all of FirstRand`s franchises will continue to capitalise on
growth opportunities in those countries identified as priorities for
expansion. FNB will continue to expand its operating footprint supported by
its South African platform and RMB will mine the trade and investment flows
between Asia and Africa, leveraging off the existing FNB platforms and its
own platform in India.
The restructuring of the RMBH group into focused, separately listed banking
(via RMBH) and insurance (via RMI Holdings) groups has given shareholders
greater flexibility and transparency in managing their investment in the
group.
The quality of FirstRand`s operating franchises and their respective
strategies domestically and in the rest of Africa should underpin that
group`s ability to provide us, as shareholders, with sustainable superior
returns.

FirstRand group
With Effect from 7 March 2011, RMBH`s sole interest is its 33,9% investment
in FirstRand, one of South Africa`s pre-eminent banking groups.
FirstRand`s vision is to be the African financial services group of choice,
creating long-term franchise value and delivering superior and sustainable
economic returns to shareholders within acceptable levels of volatility. It
seeks to:
* Become a predominant South African player focusing on both
existing markets and those markets where the business is
currently under-represented; and
* Further grow the existing African franchise, targeting those
markets that are expected to produce above average domestic
growth and are strongly positioned to benefit from the trade
and investment flows between Africa and Asia, particularly
China and India.
These strategies are executed through FirstRands` operating franchises,
within a strategic framework set by the group. During the year, First
National Bank ("FNB"), the retail and commercial bank; Rand Merchant Bank
("RMB"), the investment bank; and WesBank, the instalment finance business,
continued to make good progress against this strategic intent.
Operational performance
FirstRand`s operating franchises, FNB, RMB and WesBank, delivered very
strong operational performances.
Overall non-interest revenue ("NIR") grew 7% as a result of ongoing customer
acquisition and robust transactional volumes at FNB, particularly in
electronic channels. WesBank generated strong fee and commission growth and
RMB`s knowledge-based fee income benefited from good deal flow throughout
the year.
Earnings continued to be positively impacted by the significant decrease in
retail bad debts (impairment charge down 34% on the previous period),
particularly in the large books of FNB and WesBank. The absolute rate of
reduction in bad debts flattened in the second half of the year and has now
reached a normalised level.
Investment income also contributed strongly, driven by the private equity
and resources portfolios of RMB, and profits from the disposal of Visa Inc.
shares.
Asset margins benefited from new business repricing across the large lending
books, although given the significant size of the in-force advances
(particularly in residential mortgages) compared to the current levels of
new business, the benefits will take time to materialise. Margins also
continued to be impacted by the negative endowment effect on capital and
deposits as average interest rates for the financial year were 114 bps lower
than the previous period.
Overall FirstRand`s group operating expenses reflect good ongoing cost
control with costs increasing only 9%.
Financial outcome
FirstRand continued to build on its strong first half performance to produce
excellent results for the financial year to 30 June 2011:
* achieving normalised earnings from normalised continuing
operations of R10,1 billion, an increase of 22% on the previous
period; and
* producing a normalised return on equity ("ROE") of 18,7% (2010:
17,7%).
Key points regarding FirstRand`s performance may be summarised as follows:

FirstRand capital position
Given the macro environment, FirstRand seeks to operate at the higher end of
its targeted shares capital levels to ensure balance sheet resilience. Its
targeted capital adequacy ratio of 12% to 13,5% needs to be contrasted to
the actual FirstRand ratio of 16,5%.
FirstRand has completed a process of assessing current ratios against
anticipated deployment, the implementation of Basel III regulatory changes
and its ability to generate future capital through earnings. It is of the
view that it is currently operating above the appropriate target levels.
This can be ascribed to:
* the recent disposal of certain non-core assets, including the
group`s stakes in VISA Inc and OUTsurance, has resulted in an
excess that is not required for the current expansion strategy
and regulatory changes; and
* the group`s operating franchises are generating good returns at
a time when there is limited opportunity to grow risk weighted
assets due to the current economic climate.
The group has declared a special dividend of 70 cents per share due to the
disposal of the non-core assets. It is FirstRand`s view that as shareholders
were invested in these assets through FirstRand, the opportunistic
transactions led to the unlocking of shareholder value and this realised
value should be returned to shareholders.
Progress with FirstRand`s African expansion strategy
The case for investing in Africa is persuasive - economies are strong,
political risks have stabilised, and the business climates continue to
improve.
FirstRand has a compelling strategy to grow its franchises on the African
continent, matched with a highly disciplined approach to protecting
shareholder returns. In order to protect its ROE as it builds a presence
outside of its core South African operations, FirstRand prefers
"greenfields" operations or small rather than significant acquisitions.
Whilst this can mean expansion takes longer, potential dilution of returns
can be contained. "Bolt-on" acquisitions to existing "greenfields"
operations are also preferable, as these can bring additional scale more
rapidly.
The group regards domestic market size and potential market growth as early
key considerations when identifying priority countries for expansion outside
of South Africa. Based on these considerations, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania,
Botswana, Kenya, Uganda, Angola and Zambia have been identified as the more
desirable markets. As these priority countries present different commercial
opportunities, FNB, RMB and WesBank pursue differentiated entry strategies,
albeit within the group`s overall risk appetite and framework. Thus, FNB
continues to make significant progress in building out its infrastructure in
Zambia and has established a full service banking operation in Tanzania,
while RMB (which already has a presence in India) has opened representative
offices in Kenya and Angola to benefit from investment and trade flows
between these countries and India.
