Commentary
Overview of results
We are pleased to announce that Investec Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Investec
Limited, posted an increase in headline earnings attributable to ordinary
shareholders of 58.5% from R773 million to R1,225 million. For full information
on the Investec group results, refer to the combined results of Investec plc and
Investec Limited.
Business unit review
Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives referred to in the
business unit review relate to the six months ended 30 September 2007. Operating
profit is before taxation and headline adjustments.
Salient operational features of the period under review include:
* The Private Client Activities division posted a decrease in
operating profit
of 8.0% to R300 million (2007: R326 million). Higher average advances and a
diversified set of revenues supported a 10.0% increase in operating income,
however, impairment losses on loans and advances have increased as a result of
the weaker credit environment. The private client core lending book grew by 8.3%
to R79,7 billion (31 March 2008: R73,6 billion) and the division increased its
retail deposit book by 11.0% to R39,8 billion (31 March 2008: R35,9 billion).
Funds under advice decreased 4.1% to R24,8 billion (31 March 2008: R25,8
billion).
* The Capital Markets division posted operating profit in line with the prior
period of R449 million (2007: R451 million). The division`s advisory, treasury
and trading activities continued to perform well. The division`s lending book
has grown by 14.6% to R30,7 billion (31 March 2008: R26,8 billion).
*
Operating profit of the Investment Banking division increased significantly to
R549 million (2007: R107 million). The performance of the Corporate Finance
division was negatively impacted as a result of fewer transactions completed
compared to the prior year. The investments held within the Direct Investment
and Private Equity portfolios performed well.
* Other Activities contributed R417 million (2007: R269 million) largely as a
result of increased cash holdings and higher interest rates.
Accounting policies and disclosures
The interim results are prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards and the
presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for the six
months ended 30 September
2008 are consistent with those adopted in the
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2008.
* Reclassification to prior period balance sheet
Following the implementation of IFRS 7 disclosure requirements in the 31 March
2008 financial year, the classification of certain financial instruments into
balance sheet classes was refined to achieve more appropriate disclosure. The
adjustments to the 30 September 2007 balance sheet comprised R22,432 million,
reclassified from debt securities in issue to customer accounts, as these
balances are seen as term deposits rather than debt instruments in issue.
Compulsorily convertible debentures
The compulsorily convertible debentures that were outstanding at 31 March 2008
were converted to shares on 31 July 2008. This resulted in an increase in share
capital and share premium with no impact on total
equity.
