National Australia Bank Full Year Reporting Template

 

 

National Australia Bank today released its reporting template extract for the 2006 financial year profit announcement.

 

The template is provided to allow analysts to update financial models to take into account the impact of businesses disposed during 2006.

 

To facilitate comparison on a like for like basis, prior period cash earnings have been reduced to reflect operations that have been sold. These include Custom Fleet and the MLC life insurance operations in Hong Kong and Indonesia.

 

The template also includes refinements to the March 2006 disclosure of fair value movements for financial instruments. This is associated with the introduction of the Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards and does not change the reported profit.

 

National Australia Bank will announce its 2006 financial results on Friday 3 November.

Summary of Changes

 

The attached templates incorporate the following changes to the disclosures made at the 31 March 2006 half:

 

 

Prior period comparatives have been amended to exclude the impact of the businesses disposed during the year;

 

 

 

 

Prior period comparatives have been updated to reflect the impact of a minor business re-organisation of the Australian Treasury business moving from Group Funding into the Australia Region;

 

 

 

 

Reclassification within “Gains less losses on financial instruments” has been made to reclassify the fair value movements on derivatives designated under the Fair Value Option out of “Trading income” and into “Other fair value movements”.

 

 

 

 

The definition of “Cash Earnings” has been updated to reflect how it will be determined for the 30 September 2006 half year.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Cash earnings

 

Cash earnings is defined as follows:

 

Net profit

 

Less:

 

Minority interests

 

Minority interests — Life businesses

 

Distributions

 

Revaluation gains/losses on exchangeable capital units

 

Treasury shares

 

Net profit/loss on sale of controlled entities

 

Revaluation gains/losses on economic hedge of the proceeds on

 

sale of controlled entities

 

IoRE discount rate variation

 

Add:

 

Impairment of goodwill

 

Cash earnings

 

 

Cash earnings is a key performance measure and financial target used by the Group. Dividends paid by the Company are based on after-tax cash earnings (adjusted for significant items).

 

Cash earnings is a key performance measure used by the investment community, as well as by those Australian peers of the Group with a similar business portfolio.

 

Cash earnings does not refer to, or in any way purport to represent the cash flows, funding or liquidity position of the Group. It does not refer to any amount represented on a Cash Flow Statement.

 

Adjustments are made between net profit and cash earnings as follows:

 

 

Minority interests — reflects the allocation of profit to minority interests in the Group, and is adjusted from net profit to reflect the amount of net profit that is attributable to ordinary shareholders

 

 

 

 

Minority interests Life Businesses — reflects the allocation of profit to controlled unit trusts of life companies

 

 

 

 

Distributions — this reflects payments to holders of National Income Securities, Trust Preferred Securities, and Trust Preferred Securities II, and is adjusted from net profit to reflect the amount of net profit that is attributable to ordinary shareholders

 

 

 

 

Revaluation gains/losses on exchangeable capital units — the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is eliminated through the existence of certain conversion features that convert the ExCaps to equity at pre-determined exchange rates

 

 

 

 

Treasury shares — relates to the movement in treasury share assets (direct investments in National Australia Bank Limited) caused by the movement in the share price

 

 

 

 

Net profit/loss on sale of controlled entities — relates to profits or losses on the sale of controlled entities.

 

 

 

 

Revaluation gains/losses on economic hedge of the proceeds on sale of controlled entities — represents the fair value movement on derivatives taken out to protect against foreign exchange rate movements and relates directly to the profit/loss on sale of controlled entities.

 

 

 

 

IoRE discount rate variation — relates to the movement in Investment Earnings on Shareholders’ Retained Profits (IoRE) attributable to the variation between applying the short term and long term discount rates when calculating the IoRE. This adjustment has been made for the 30 September 2006 half only. It had an insignificant impact on the March 2006 half.

 

 

 

 

Impairment of goodwill — relates to the impairment expense recognised on the application of an annual impairment test. Financial statement users generally do not regard impairment of goodwill as being useful information in analysing investments. As it relates to an intangible asset, management believes it is prudent to isolate this amount from the underlying operating result.

Cash earnings before significant items and Net profit before significant items

 

Under Australian accounting standards AASB101 “Presentation of Financial Statements” additional line items shall be presented when such presentation is relevant to an understanding of the entity’s performance. Such items have been identified as “significant revenue or expenses” and are included on the face of the Income Statement when this is necessary to explain the elements of financial performance. Factors to consider in their identification include materiality and the nature and function of the components of income and expenses.

AIFRS areas to highlightFramework Hedge accounting has been applied in most circumstances where an economic hedge relationship exists. Fair value option used where more appropriate than hedge accounting in reducing P&L volatility for economic hedges. Reporting in the profit announcement AIFRS introduces increased P&L volatility fromhedge ineffectiveness and fair value movements Will continue to report fair value movements/hedge effectiveness in cash earnings Enhanced disclosures clearly identify these items in the P&L 1. Hedging and Fair Value Option


 


GRAPHIC 

AIFRS areas to highlight (contd)AIFRS had an impact on levels of reported capital. At 1 October 2004 deferred acquisition costs of $100 million relating to investments contracts not in Life Insurance entities were written off. At 1 October 2005 deferred acquisition costs of $384 million relating to investment contracts in Life Insurance entities were written off. Deferred acquisition costs relating to insurance contracts continue to be capitalised. Valuation of life insurance liabilities continues to be undertaken on an actuarial basis. From 1 October 2005 under AIFRS they are discounted based on the current prevailing interest rates at date of valuation. This was not previously the case. This has the potential to introduce increased income statement volatility to IoRE. (This was included in cash earning in Mar ’06, as it was a small amount. This will be excluded in Sep ’06 and for periods going forward) 2. Investment earnings on shareholders’ retained profits and capital within Wealth Management (IoRE)

Implications for IoRE “Asset” base on which we derive IoRE has been reduced by $484m of DAC relating to the investment business Have been actively managing the capital invested in the Wealth Management business Investment mix re-weighted towards lower risk / lower yield assets, and overall market returns are lower
