Investec (comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited) - Interim Management
Statement released on 28 July 2011
This Interim Management Statement is issued by Investec in accordance with the
UK Listing Authority`s Disclosure and Transparency Rules. Unless stated
otherwise, key trends and figures highlighted below refer to the three months
ended 30 June 2011 and the corresponding period in the previous year.
Performance overview
Against a backdrop of poor economic fundamentals and weak debt and equity
markets, operating conditions have been more difficult than anticipated in the
first quarter of the group`s 2012 financial year. The Asset Management and
Wealth Management businesses have continued to perform well as a result of
increased average funds under management and net inflows. The Specialist
Banking businesses have benefited from growth in margin and fee income but
earnings from principal activities have been under pressure. The group`s
geographical and operational diversity has, however, supported a stable
operational performance.
Salient features of the three month period to 30 June 2011 compared to the
three month period to 30 June 2010:
- The group has recorded strong growth in net interest income and net fees
and commissions, whilst principal transaction income has decreased.
- Operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles, non-operating
items and taxation and after non-controlling interests is marginally
ahead of the prior year.
- The credit loss charge as a percentage of average gross loans and
advances annualised for the period amounted to 0.82% (31 March 2011:
1.27%).
- Recurring income as a percentage of total operating income amounted to
approximately 71%.
- As at 30 June 2011 the capital adequacy ratio of Investec plc (applying
UK Financial Services Authority rules to its capital base) was 16.8% and
the capital adequacy ratio of Investec Limited (applying South African
Reserve Bank rules to its capital base) was 15.8%.
- The group had approximately GBP9.4 billion of cash and near cash
available to support its activities.
- Since 31 March 2011 (the end of the group`s financial year) core loans
and advances increased by 3% to GBP19.4 billion, customer deposits
increased by 2% to GBP24.9 billion and third party assets under
management increased by 2% to GBP91 billion.
- Core advances (excluding own originated securitised assets) as a
percentage of customer deposits were 73.7% (31 March 2011:72.4%).
The group will be holding a pre-close briefing on 15 September 2011 at which
it will provide further detail on the performance of its businesses.
On behalf of the board
Hugh Herman (Chairman), Stephen Koseff (Chief Executive Officer) and Bernard
Kantor (Managing Director)
