Abrdn PLC said Tuesday that it swung to a pretax loss for 2022 due to adjusting items, missing consensus, and that it intends to return capital to shareholders in 2023 on a level similar to 2022.

The FTSE 100 investment company said pretax loss for the year was 615 million pounds ($742 million) compared with a pretax profit of GBP1.2 billion for 2021. The company said this was mostly due to adjusting items of GBP868 million. Two analysts polled by FactSet had a pretax profit forecast of GBP223.2 million for the year.

Adjusted operating profit--the company's preferred metric, which strips out exceptional and other one-off items--was GBP263 million compared with GBP323 million the year before. The company said this was due "to 4% lower revenue as a result of lower market levels which particularly impacted high yielding equities."

Net operating revenue fell to GBP1.46 billion from GBP1.52 billion the year prior.

Assets under management and administration at the end of 2022 fell 8% to GBP500 billion.

Total net outflows were GBP37.9 billion compared with net outflows of GBP6.2 billion in 2021.

The board declared a final dividend of 7.3 pence a share, taking the full year dividend to 14.6 pence.
