Commentary
Investec plc and Investec Limited (combined results)
Unaudited combined consolidated financial results in pounds sterling for the
year ended 31 March 2011
Overall group performance
The group has delivered a sound operational performance underpinned by a strong
recurring income base with five of its six core businesses recording increased
earnings. The group`s non-capital intensive asset management and wealth
management businesses reported a strong increase in their contribution to group
earnings as a result of the acquisition of Rensburg Sheppards plc and
significant net inflows. Whilst some of the group`s banking businesses have
performed well, notably Capital Markets, overall group results have been
constrained by lower levels of transactional activity and the slow recovery of
non-performing loans in the Private Bank. The balance sheet remains strong, with
an increase in capital and liquidity over the year.
Against this backdrop the main features of the year under review are:
- Operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles, non-operating items
and taxation and after non-controlling interests ("operating profit") increased
0.5% to GBP434.4 million (2010: GBP432.3 million).
- Impairments on loans and advances increased 11.0% to GBP318.2 million (2010:
GBP286.6 million).
- Adjusted earnings attributable to shareholders before goodwill, acquired
intangibles and non-operating items increased 5.9% to GBP327.9 million (2010:
GBP309.7 million).
- Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) before goodwill, acquired intangibles and
non-operating items decreased 4.2% from 45.1 pence to 43.2 pence, largely as a
result of an increase in the number of shares in issue.
- Third party assets under management increased 20.0% to GBP88.9 billion (2010:
GBP74.1 billion).
- Customer accounts (deposits) increased 11.4% to GBP24.4 billion (2010: GBP21.9
billion).
- Core loans and advances increased 4.8% to GBP18.8 billion (2010: GBP17.9
billion).
- Net asset value per share increased 14.3% to 416.0 pence and net tangible
asset value per share (which excludes goodwill and intangible assets) increased
by 6.1% to 343.8 pence.
- The board proposes a final dividend of 9.0 pence per ordinary share equating
to a full year dividend of 17.0 pence (2010: 16.0 pence) resulting in a dividend
cover based on the group`s adjusted EPS before goodwill and non-operating items
of 2.5 times (2010: 2.8 times), consistent with the group`s dividend policy.
Strategic review
The group has realigned its business model towards less capital intensive
activities by building strong asset management and wealth management businesses
thereby growing its annuity net fee and commission income. This strategy has
been successful, resulting in a substantial rise in funds under management and
an increase in operating profit from these businesses of 53.5% to GBP167.7
million (2010: GBP109.3 million). This has resulted in a change in the
proportion of the group`s earnings, with the asset management and wealth
management businesses now accounting for 38.6% of the group`s operating profit
during the last year, compared to 25.3% in 2010.
The banking environment remains fluid as regulators continue their review and
adjustment of the regulatory framework in an attempt to strengthen the system
and avoid future crises. The group has as a consequence continued to maintain
high levels of liquidity and capital as it adjusts to a system where higher
levels of liquidity and capital will become the norm.
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 continues to benefit from its growing retail franchise
recording an increase in customer deposits in all three core geographies. Cash
and near cash balances amount to GBP9.3 billion (2010: GBP9.1 billion).
Capital adequacy
The group targets 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 respectively. Capital adequacy ratios are strong in
Investec plc and Investec Limited, as reflected in the table below.
Basel II ratios 31 Mar 2011 31 Mar 2010
Investec plc
Capital adequacy ratio 16.8% 15.9%
Tier 1 ratio 11.6% 11.3%
Investec Limited
Capital adequacy ratio 15.9% 15.6%
Tier 1 ratio 11.9% 12.1%
The group has conducted a review of the proposed Basel III requirements and
believes that its current capital structure and capital ratios exceed the
minimum capital requirements for 2013.
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 Capital Markets primarily
transacts with mid to large sized corporates, public sector bodies and
institutions. Defaults on core loans and advances have increased but are fully
collateralised, as detailed in the "Financial statement analysis" below.
Investec continues to focus on improving the quality of its loan portfolio in
all geographies.
Business unit review
Asset Management
Asset Management increased operating profit 52.6% to GBP127.3 million (2010:
GBP83.4 million) benefiting from substantially higher funds under management and
a solid investment performance. The division recorded strong net inflows of
GBP7.4 billion contributing to an increase in assets under management of 26.7%
from GBP46.4 billion to GBP58.8 billion.
Wealth and Investment
Wealth and Investment increased operating profit 56.2% to GBP40.4 million (2010:
GBP25.9 million) benefiting from higher funds under management and the
acquisition of Rensburg Sheppards plc. Total funds under management increased by
8.5% from GBP27.1 billion to GBP29.4 billion.
Property Activities
Property Activities generated an increase in operating profit of 42.5% to
GBP47.7 million (2010: GBP33.5 million). The results of the division were
largely supported by a good performance from the investment property portfolio
in South Africa.
Private Banking
Private Banking posted a loss of GBP91.4 million (2010: profit of GBP37.1
million) as a result of low activity levels, increased impairments and write
offs. The private client core lending book increased by 3.1% from GBP12.9
billion to GBP13.3 billion and the deposit book increased by 5.9% from GBP11.8
billion to GBP12.5 billion.
Investment Banking
Investment Banking increased operating profit 62.1% to GBP67.4 million (2010:
GBP41.6 million). Principal Investments recorded a robust result, primarily
driven by an improved performance from certain investments held in the UK and
South African portfolio. The Agency divisions benefitted from a good deal
pipeline, however, trading conditions in the Institutional Stockbroking business
remain difficult.
Capital Markets
Capital Markets reported an increase in operating profit of 35.1% to GBP242.0
million (2010: GBP179.1 million). The division benefited from satisfactory
levels of activity across the advisory and structuring businesses, notably
within the Principal Finance, Structured Finance and Structured Equity Finance
teams. Core loans and advances increased 7.2% from GBP4.5 billion to GBP4.8
billion.
Group Services and Other Activities
Group Services and Other Activities posted a profit of GBP1.0 million (2010:
profit of GBP31.7 million). Central Funding`s results were impacted by lower
levels of interest rates and a weaker performance from equity investments held
within the South African portfolio. Central Services incurred an increase in
both personnel and marketing costs.
Further information on key developments within each of the business units is
provided in a detailed report published on the group`s website:

Financial statement analysis
Total operating income
Total operating income net of insurance claims increased by 18.0% to GBP1 955.0
million (2010: GBP1 657.2 million), with recurring income as a percentage of
total operating income amounting to 62.3% (2010: 60.3%).
Net interest income increased by 11.2% to GBP681.5 million (2010: GBP613.1
million) largely as a result of improved margins within the South African
Private Bank and a sound performance from the group`s fixed income portfolios.
Net fee and commission income increased by 44.5% to GBP787.7 million (2010:
GBP545.1 million). Funds under management have grown substantially, supported by
improved market indices and strong net inflows. The banking businesses recorded
an increase in net fees and commissions, although transactional activity levels
remain mixed.
Income from principal transactions decreased by 8.5% to GBP418.7 million (2010:
GBP457.8 million). The group has benefited from a solid performance from its
investment banking, fixed income and property investment portfolios. This was
offset by a weaker performance from some of the equity investments held within
the South African central funding portfolio.
Other operating income includes the operating results of certain investments
which were consolidated; associate income, and income earned on operating leases
acquired during the year.
Impairment losses on loans and advances
The uncertain pace of economic recovery has slowed the improvement in the level
of non-performing loans and defaults have continued to increase. Impairment
losses on loans and advances have increased from GBP205.4 million to GBP248.3
million (excluding Kensington). The credit loss charge as a percentage of
average gross loans and advances has increased from 1.16% to 1.27%. The group
expects this ratio to decrease during the forthcoming financial year. The
percentage of default loans (net of impairments but before taking collateral
into account) to core loans and advances has increased from 4.0% to 4.7%. The
ratio of collateral to default loans (net of impairments) remains satisfactory
at 1.36 times (2010: 1.33 times).
Impairment losses on loans and advances relating to the Kensington business
amount to GBP69.9 million (2010: GBP81.2 million). The Kensington book has
reduced from GBP4.7 billion to GBP4.2 billion.
Operating costs and depreciation
The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income amounts to 61.7%
(2010: 57.8%).
Total expenses grew by 26.8% to GBP1 213.3 million (2009: GBP957.2 million) as a
result of the appreciation of the Rand and Australian Dollar; the acquisitions
of Rensburg Sheppards plc, Masterlease UK and Lease Direct Finance Limited; an
increase in variable remuneration in certain divisions given improved
profitability; an increase in headcount in certain divisions; and increased
spending on brand development.
Impairment of goodwill
The current period goodwill impairment relates to Asset Management businesses
acquired in prior years.
Amortisation of acquired intangibles
The current period amortisation of acquired intangibles relates to the
acquisition of Rensburg Sheppards plc and mainly comprises amortisation of
amounts attributable to client relationships.
Profit arising from associate converted to a subsidiary
A net gain of GBP73.5 million has arisen on the acquisition of Rensburg
Sheppards plc, as detailed in the "Notes to the commentary" section below.
Net loss on sale of subsidiaries
The net loss on sale of subsidiaries of GBP17.3 million arose from a loss on
sale and deconsolidation of previously consolidated group investments, partially
offset by a gain on the sale of Rensburg Fund Management Limited.
Taxation
The operational effective tax rate (excluding taxation on intangibles and sale
of subsidiaries) of the group decreased from 20.6% to 15.5%, due to the
resolution of matters for which a provision was previously held.
Losses attributable to non-controlling interests
Losses attributable to non-controlling interests of GBP11.0 million largely
comprise:
- GBP9.2 million relating to investments consolidated in the Private Equity
division;
- GBP1.4 million relating to Euro denominated preferred securities issued by a
subsidiary of Investec plc which are reflected on the balance sheet as part of
non-controlling interests. (The transaction is hedged and a forex transaction
loss arising on the hedge is reflected in operating profit before goodwill with
the equal and opposite impact reflected in earnings attributable to non-
controlling interests).
Balance sheet analysis
Since 31 March 2010:
- Total shareholders` equity (including non-controlling interests) increased by
20.3% to GBP4.0 billion largely as a result of retained earnings and the issue
of shares.
- Total assets increased from GBP46.6 billion to GBP50.9 billion largely as a
result of increased cash and near cash balances and advances, as well as an
increase in goodwill and intangibles associated with the acquisition of Rensburg
Sheppards plc.
- Core loans and advances (excluding own originated securitised assets) as a
percentage of customer deposits improved from 76.2% to 72.4%.
- The return on adjusted average shareholders` equity declined from 13.5% to
11.2%.
The group`s gearing ratios remain low with core loans and advances to equity at
4.7 times (2010: 5.4 times) and total assets (excluding assurance assets) to
equity at 11.3 times (2010:12.5 times).
Outlook
Over the past two years, we have re-positioned the group as a "specialist bank
and asset manager" and made substantial progress in realigning our business
model in response to the challenging and uncertain regulatory landscape. Whilst
our performance remains sensitive to the global economy, our current assessment
of the environment is for an improvement in impairments and growth in the
overall business for the year ahead.

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 2010.
- 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 31 Mar 2011 Year to 31 Mar 2010
Currency per GBP1.00 Close Ave Close Ave
South African Rand 10.88 11.16 11.11 12.38
Australian Dollar 1.55 1.65 1.66 1.88
Euro 1.13 1.17 1.12 1.13
Dollar 1.60 1.55 1.52 1.59
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 9.9% and the
closing rate has appreciated by 2.1% since 31 March 2010.
- Acquisition of Rensburg Sheppards plc
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 would acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital
of Rensburg Sheppards plc not already owned by it. Following shareholder and
regulatory approvals the acquisition became effective on 25 June 2010. Prior to
this date Investec`s 47.1% interest in Rensburg Sheppards plc was accounted for
as an associate. As a result of requirements under new accounting rules, the
group was required to fair value its existing 47.1% holding in Rensburg
Sheppard`s plc at the point it acquired the remaining 52.9%. This has resulted
in an exceptional gain of GBP73.5 million (net of acquisition costs). The group
issued 37.9 million shares to acquire the remaining shares in Rensburg Sheppards
plc for a consideration of GBP180.4 million. This consideration combined with
the existing fair valued holding resulted in the recognition of goodwill and
intangibles of GBP198.5 million and GBP133.4 million, respectively.
- Accounting policies and disclosures
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for the year
ended 31 March 2011 are consistent with those adopted in the financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2010, except for the adoption of the
revised IFRS 3 - Business Combinations. This standard is applicable to all
business combinations effective from 1 April 2010 in the group accounts. The
main change arising from the adoption is that acquisition related costs are
expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services
rendered, except for costs related to the issue of debt (recognised as part of
the effective interest rate) and the cost of issue of equity (recognised
directly in shareholders` equity).
These unaudited condensed summarised 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.
- Restatements and presentation of information
Offsetting of intergroup interest received and interest paid
On review, it was detected that the gross interest income and expense, as
reported at 31 March 2010, had not appropriately netted certain intergroup
interest income and expense between the two line items. Whilst net interest
income was correctly reported, the restatement to interest received and paid is
noted below:
GBP`000 31 March 2010
Restated
Interest income 2 041 153
Interest expense (1 428 067)
Net interest income 613 086
As previously reported
Interest income 2 726 011
Interest expense (2 112 925)
Net interest income 613 086
Changes to previously reported
Interest income (684 858)
Interest expense 684 858
Net interest income -
The above change has no impact to the income statement (other than as noted
above), balance sheet nor cash flow statement.
Redeemable preference shares
The group had previously included cumulative redeemable preference shares as a
component of other liabilities. The presentation has been amended to include the
cumulative redeemable preference shares as a component of debt securities in
issue.
GBP`000 31 March 2010 31 March 2009

Other liabilities 1 177 589 1 003 400
