保诚(02378.HK)中期经调整经营溢利跌3%至25.41亿美元 派息5.37美分
格隆汇 8 月 11日丨保诚(02378.HK)公布2020年半年度业绩,公司已赚毛保费198.42亿美元,同比减少5.88%;集团来自持续经营业务的经调整经营溢利为25.41亿美元,同比减少3%(按实质汇率基准的变动计算);拟派第一次中期每股5.37美分。
亚洲经调整经营溢利增长14%,反映集团业务在健康及保障产品成功的支持下表现相当稳健,而集团美国业务的贡献则有所减少,反映市场变动(包括期内递延保单获得成本摊销)的不利影响。
Prudential plc集团执行总裁Mike Wells表示:"我们于上半年取得了稳健的业绩表现,尽管新业务销售环境相当严峻且有可能于下半年持续,以及利率进一步下跌。我们在亚洲拥有多元化优质平台,加上我们专注於承保盈利增值业务,令亚洲经调整经营溢利1增长14%2。我们再次取得全面的业绩表现,其中九个市场录得双位数的经调整经营溢利增长。美国方面,受市场对递延保单获得成本摊销水平的相关影响,经调整经营溢利下降19%,不过,尽管销售额下跌,我们仍然保持在年金市场的领导地位。"
"Prudential plc董事会已决定完全分拆及剥离Jackson,以让集团能够专注发展高增长的亚洲及非洲业务。此举将产生两间持有不同投资理念的独立上市公司,我们亦相信其将提升两项业务的策略成效。集团将在伦敦及香港两地作第一上市,并在新加坡及美国作第二上市,而Jackson预计将仅在美国上市。"
"分拆及剥离Jackson后,保诚将转变成为一间完全专注於亚洲及非洲市场结构性机会的集团。亚洲及非洲地区的保险渗透率偏低,市场对储蓄解决方案需求迅速发展,而我们提供的多元化产品及地域组合可满足区内对健康、保障及储蓄的需求。分拆后的集团将专注於业务成长,并致力令每股内含价值持续实现双位数增长。有关增长受新业务利润增长率支撑,而集团经营所在市场的新业务利润预期将大幅超越当地生产总值的增长。"
