PRUDENTIAL PLC THIRD QUARTER 2003 NEW BUSINESS RESULTS
* Total Group insurance and investment sales of #23.6 billion, an increase
of 12 per cent at constant exchange rates (CER) on the first nine months of
2002 (6 per cent on actual exchange rates). Group APE (Annual Premium
Equivalent) insurance sales of #1.2 billion are down 10 per cent at CER
(down 14 per cent on actual exchange rates).
* Total Group investment funds under management of #29.7 billion, up 16 per
cent since the beginning of 2003.
* APE insurance sales in Prudential Corporation Asia (PCA) up 17 per cent,
despite the impact of SARS earlier in the year (up 9 per cent on actual
exchange rates).
* Jackson National Life's (JNL) retail sales of #2.8 billion at CER were 1
per cent higher than the comparable period in 2002, with particularly strong
sales of variable annuities.
* UK insurance sales on an APE basis down 16 per cent, reflecting weakness
in the with-profit bond market. Strong sales of corporate pensions and
individual annuities.
* M&G total retail and institutional funds under management of #23.2
billion, up 14 per cent since the start of the year.
Prudential's Group Chief Executive, Jonathan Bloomer, commented: "The markets in
which we operate have been difficult this year. In the UK, consumer confidence
has not yet fully recovered, in the US, the low interest rate environment
continues, and in Asia, SARS has affected several key territories. However,
market conditions are beginning to stabilise and we are now seeing signs of
improvement and the emergence of some positive trends including: increased sales
of corporate pensions in the UK; good sales of variable annuities in the US; and
a return to strong growth in Asia."
* The narrative below is on constant exchange rates throughout. See Notes to
Editors for further details.
Prudential Corporation Asia
In the first nine months of the year PCA had APE sales of #391 million, up 17
per cent on the same period last year. This strong result demonstrates the
benefits of PCA's diverse portfolio of businesses across Asia. Sales have
recovered strongly post SARS and APE sales in the third quarter were #148
million, up 33 per cent on the second quarter of 2003.
In Singapore, PCA has continued to focus on more profitable regular premium life
business and for the first nine months of the year sales were up 27 per cent
compared with the same period last year. Strong growth continued in Malaysia
where APE sales in the first nine months of the year were up 25 per cent and in
Hong Kong, despite record high unemployment levels and concerns over SARS, sales
of single premium products in the first nine months of 2003 were 61 per cent
higher than the same period in 2002.
As announced on 1 September 2003, PCA Life Japan is now focusing on its
financial adviser distribution channel and its bancassurance arrangements. While
APE sales for the third quarter were up 44 per cent compared with the second
quarter, PCA Life Japan anticipates some slowdown in the fourth quarter as the
distribution model is refocused.
PCA's Taiwanese life business made a strong recovery in the third quarter with
APE sales up 71 per cent on the second quarter. However, due to the impact of
SARS earlier in the year, sales for the first nine months of the year were up 2
per cent relative to 2002.
PCA's seven smaller life operations (China, India, Indonesia, Korea, the
Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam - collectively classified as 'Other' in the
schedules) continue to build scale with APE sales increasing by 61 per cent
compared with the same period last year. In China, PCA opened its second life
operation with its partner CITIC. This was launched in August in Beijing. In
Korea, bancassurance arrangements were launched with Koram Bank and Korea First
Bank.
Total investment products funds under management in Asia as at 30 September 2003
were #6.5 billion, up 10 per cent from #5.9 billion at 30 June 2003. This
reflects strong net inflows of #395 million during the quarter and the impact of
positive market movements.
Jackson National Life
JNL's retail sales of #2.8 billion were 1 per cent higher than the comparable
period in 2002, which was a record year.
Total sales for the first nine months of the year were down 19 per cent on prior
year, reflecting a 62 per cent reduction in sales of institutional products to
#499 million as a result of JNL's focus on retail markets. JNL does not expect
to sell any further institutional products before 2004, other than on an
opportunistic basis.
JNL recorded excellent variable annuity sales during the first nine months of
2003. Total sales of #1.5 billion were up 88 per cent on the same period last
year. As expected given the volatility of equity markets over the previous three
years, a significant proportion of variable annuity investors continue to elect
the fixed option, with 53 per cent of variable annuity sales going into this
option during the first nine months of 2003. This compares to 58 per cent during
the full year 2002 and 57 per cent for the first six months of 2003.
Due to the continued low interest rate environment in the US and the high rate
of election of the fixed account option within variable annuities, fixed annuity
sales in the first nine months of the year of #1.2 billion were 37 per cent
below prior year. Prudential has previously indicated that JNL would self-fund
its capital in the medium-term. Consistent with this objective, third quarter
fixed annuity sales of #200 million were 52 per cent down on sales of #421
million during the second quarter, and were 76 per cent lower than the
comparable period in 2002. While JNL's outlook for the financial markets remains
cautious, it expects to sell #250-300 million of fixed annuities in the fourth
quarter, reflecting its expected capital position.
Sales of equity-linked indexed annuities of #184 million were down 2 per cent on
the first nine months of last year. Regular premium life sales of #11 million
compared with sales of #17 million for the same period in 2002.
Curian Capital LLC, JNL's recently launched Registered Investment Advisor
channel, continued to build on its strong start. At the end of September, funds
under management had grown to #73 million, more than double the funds under
management at the half year. Curian Capital provides innovative fee-based
separately managed accounts and investment products.
In March 2003 JNL introduced a new equity-linked annuity product, and since June
2003 it has also launched new term and universal life products. These new
developments reinforce JNL's track record of product innovation, with 92 per
cent of sales in the first nine months of the year coming from products launched
since the beginning of 2002.
JNL intends to continue its focus on retail sales for the remainder of the year.
UK and Europe Insurance Operations
Prudential UK and Europe's APE sales for the first nine months of the year were
#464 million, 18 per cent down on the comparative period in 2002. Excluding
with-profit bond sales, Prudential UK's APE sales were 6 per cent higher than
the same period in 2002 benefiting from continuing strong corporate pension and
individual annuity sales.
Sales through direct channels were #243 million, 15 per cent higher than the
equivalent period in 2002, with strong sales of individual annuities and
corporate pensions. Sales of individual annuities through direct channels were
11 per cent higher than in the same period in 2002 and in the first half of 2003
Prudential UK had a 22 per cent market share of the individual annuity market
(source: ABI).
Sales of corporate pensions through direct channels were #136 million, 23 per
cent higher than 2002, reflecting a significant contribution from new schemes.
In the first half of 2003 Prudential UK had an 18 per cent market share of the
defined contribution occupational pension scheme market (source: ABI).
IFA sales were down 38 per cent to #208 million. Despite the weak with-profit
bond market Prudential achieved a strong performance with a 59 per cent increase
in sales of with-profit bonds through IFAs in the third quarter over the second.
This reflects a slow return to this market by high net worth investors.
Prudential UK is seeking to improve confidence in with-profit bonds through a
number of measures including product enhancement and improved transparency. In
the first half of 2003 Prudential UK had a 26 per cent market share of
with-profit bond sales distributed through IFAs (source: ABI), which it believes
will have increased in the third quarter.
Partnership agreements with Abbey to sell with-profit bonds, and with Zurich to
underwrite annuities, resulted in single premium sales of #81 million for the
first nine months of 2003. Partnership sales in the third quarter of #36 million
compare with #13 million achieved in the second. The Zurich agreement was
launched during the second quarter of 2003.
Prudential UK expects conditions in the final quarter of the year to remain
challenging, but believes its focus is appropriate. It is confident it is well
positioned to take advantage of the recovery in the savings market. It continues
to focus on products where it has competitive advantage as a result of its brand
recognition, financial strength, diversified distribution capability and low
cost base.
M&G
M&G's gross fund inflows for the first nine months of 2003 were #3 billion, up 1
per cent on 2002, reflecting its strength and broad distribution in the areas of
retail fund management, institutional fixed income, pooled life and pension
funds, property and private finance.
Gross fund inflows into M&G branded retail products were #275 million in the
third quarter, up 10 per cent on the same period last year. Net inflows rose in
the quarter, up 8 per cent on the same period in 2002 to #64 million.
In its institutional business, M&G continued to benefit from its position as a
leading innovator in fixed income and private finance. Gross institutional fund
inflows during the third quarter were #702 million, bringing inflows in the
first nine months to #2.1 billion, 5 per cent higher than the same period last
year.
During the third quarter, M&G's segregated and pooled funds saw gross fund
inflows of #317 million and the private finance division contributed a further
#333 million as a result of its continuing success in winning project finance
and securitised vehicle mandates.
M&G's net institutional fund inflows for the third quarter of 2003 were #284
million compared to #59 million in the same period in 2002.
Egg
Egg will announce its third quarter results on Wednesday 22 October 2003.
