IFRS 17 FY 2022 and H1 22 restatement

Just Group plc ("Just", the "Group") has today made presentation slides available on the Group's website www.justgroupplc.co.uk , and below, provides a restatement of its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2022 and the six months ended 30 June 2022 under IFRS 17. IFRS 17 is a new accounting standard for insurers, which was implemented on 1 January 2023.

We remain committed to our ambition to target 15% growth in underlying operating profit.

Under IFRS 17, we will continue our commitment to deliver 15% growth in underlying operating profit per annum over the medium term. In 2022, we delivered 19% growth in underlying operating profit under IFRS 4. Our IFRS 17 measure for underlying operating profit is explained further below.

Our target to deliver a greater than 10% return on equity will also continue under IFRS 17(1) .

No change in strategy, growth ambition, capital, cash or dividend policy

IFRS 17 is an accounting change and does not affect the underlying economics of our business or our strategy

 
            --   Our commitment and ability to invest in future growth is unchanged 
            --   The capital strength of the Group is unchanged 
            --   Our new and existing business cashflows are unchanged 
            --   The Group's dividend policy is unchanged 
            --   The Group's debt leverage is unchanged 
 

Effect of transition to IFRS 17

Under IFRS 17 total economic profits do not change, but how these are accounted for does. IFRS 17 introduces two new balance sheet concepts - the Contractual Service Margin ("CSM") and Risk Adjustment ("RA"), which are stocks of discounted future value that are released into reported profit over time. These stocks of future value are added to by future new business, which in turn also releases over time.

 
 
   *    Underlying operating profit is broadly unchanged for 
        FY22: GBP257m under IFRS 17 versus GBP249m under IFRS 
        4. To provide a meaningful measure of business 
        performance, we add back the net underlying CSM 
        increase during the year to derive underlying 
        operating profit under IFRS 17. 
 
   *    The Group's shareholder value is broadly unchanged 
        with TNAV per share at 31 December 2022 under IFRS 17 
        of 190p per share versus 172p under IFRS 4 
        o IFRS 17 Adjusted shareholders equity on 31 December 2022 of GBP2.0bn 
         (31 December 2021: GBP2.1bn) is comprised GBP783m of IFRS 17 Equity 
         attributable to shareholders (31 December 2021: GBP1,175m) and 
         GBP1,212m of CSM net of tax (31 December 2021: GBP966m). 
         o The CSM growth was driven by the addition of new business, whilst 
         the IFRS 17 equity fell largely due to economic losses resulting 
         from the interest rate hedging programme. During 2022, we actively 
         reduced the level of interest rate hedging as the capital position 
         strengthened, with the sensitivity remaining close to zero in 2023. 
         o The increase in TNAV per share includes 6p (GBP80m pre-tax) which 
         arises from the reversal of a negative investment timing impact 
         on the large volume of business written in Q4 22 that was recognised 
         under IFRS 4, but is not recognised under IFRS 17 
    -- Return on Equity is broadly unchanged: 10.3% under IFRS 17 vs 
     10.7% under IFRS 4 
     o Under IFRS 17, the Return on Equity was 10.3%. The slightly higher 
     IFRS 17 Underlying operating profit has been offset by a slightly 
     higher IFRS 17 Adjusted shareholders equity. 
     o Our intention is to continue growing the Return on Equity from 
     this level.

Note 1: Alternative performance measure (APM). In addition to statutory IFRS performance measures, the Group has presented a number of non-statutory alternative performance measures. The Board believes that the APMs used give a more representative view of the underlying performance of the Group. There have been changes to APMs since the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts. The tables and footnotes above explain the basis of their calculation. Net underlying CSM increase is added back to calculate underlying operating profit as the Board considers the value of new business is significant in assessing business performance.

Note 2: Return on equity is IFRS 17 underlying operating profit after attributed tax divided by the average IFRS 17 adjusted shareholders equity less goodwill.

Note 3: CSM amortisation represents the net release from the CSM reserve into profit as services are provided. The figures are net of accretion (unwind of discount), and the release is computed based on the closing CSM reserve balance for the period.

Note 4: In-force operating profit represents profits from the in force portfolio before investment and insurance experience variances, and assumption changes. It mainly represents release of risk adjustment for non-financial risk and of allowances for credit default in the period, investment returns earned on shareholder assets, together with the value of the CSM amortisation.

Note 5: Following a review of expense allocation to bring consistency with Solvency II KPIs, non recurring costs have been reallocated to development expenditure and strategic expenditure. Development expenditure relates to the development of existing products, markets, technology, and transformation projects. Strategic expenditure relates to major strategic investment, new products and business lines, and major regulatory projects.

Note 6: Operating experience and assumption changes represent changes to cash flows in the current and future periods valued based on end of period economic assumptions.

Note 7: Deferral of profit in CSM represents the total movement on CSM reserve in the year. The figure represents CSM recognised on new business, accretion of CSM (unwind of discount), transfers to CSM related to changes to future cash flows at locked-in economic assumptions, less CSM release in respect of services provided.

Note 8: All the figures are unaudited.
