FY24 are the first results that ClearView is providing under the new accounting standard AASB 17 – it does not impact the economics of the business, financial strength, claims paying ability or dividend capacity – it impacts the timing of recognition of insurance earnings, not the quantum in total ClearView has adopted AASB 17 for first time

Net Assets
The net impact is that the operating metrics do not change but the timing and profit recognition patterns are impacted for a fast growing life insurance business like ClearView. FY24 Life Insurance Underlying NPAT is up 23% to $39.5m under new standard – the life insurance business is expected to continue to support double digit Underlying NPAT growth as previously communicated. Group dividend up 7% but lags growth in Underlying NPAT due to adoption of new standard (prior year dividend was calculated on old basis)
4
1. No changes from AASB 17 have been allowed for, in particular from a change in timing of tax payments given the change in timing of profit release – all other product cash flows remain unchanged 2. Embedded Value at 4% discount rate margin, including a value for future franking credits, accrued franking credits and ESP loans.
