SAGICOR FINANCIAL CORPORATION LIMITED FINANCIAL
RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHSED MARCH 31, 2019
____________________________________________________________
The Sagicor Group recorded another strong performance for the
first three months to March 31, 2019. Group net income closed the
period at US $32.9 million against a prior year result of US $38.9
million. Net income attributable to shareholders from continuing
operations was US $15.1 million compared to the prior year result
of US $19.5 million. Net income to shareholders from continuing
operations in 2018 benefited from certain one-time positive
earnings releases that did not recur in 2019.
Total revenue for the Group amounted to US $523.5 million,
against a prior year amount of US $291.3 million, an increase of US
$232.2 or 80%. Revenue growth was driven primarily by the USA
business segment which generated meaningful premium growth,
amplified by our strategic decision to cease reinsuring its
premiums to third parties. Revenues grew year over year in the
Sagicor Jamaica and Sagicor Life business segments as well.
Benefits were US $347.8 million, compared to US $132.1 million
for the previous year and was consistent with the growth in premium
income. Expenses were US $131.0 million, compared to US $117.6
million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 11%,
the growth in expenses has been impacted by the consolidation of
the Sagicor X Fund Group from October 1, 2018. Excluding this
impact expenses grew by 4%.
Group comprehensive income was US $66.5 million, compared to US
$17.0 million for the prior year. Shareholder comprehensive income
from continuing operations was US $38.2 million, compared to US
$5.4 million for the prior year. The Group benefited from
significant net gains on investments measured at Fair Value through
Other Comprehensive Income.
Sagicor benefited from strong performance in each of its three
operating segments. Net income to shareholders from continuing
operations in Sagicor Life was US $11.2 million, a strong
performance although down compared to 2018 which had one-time
factors. Net income to shareholders from continuing operations for
Sagicor Jamaica was US $10.4 million. Net income to shareholders
from continuing operations for the USA business segment increased
significantly to US $6.9 million compared to a loss in Q1 2018, as
the segment benefits from critical mass.
During the first three months of the year Sagicor Group adopted
a new accounting standard which became effective from January 1,
2019. IFRS 16, Leases, removes the distinction between operating
and financing leases and requires recognition of an asset (the
right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay
rentals for virtually all lease contracts.
There was no significant impact on the net assets of the Company
on the implementation of this standard.
In the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2019,
assets amounted to US $7.6 billion, and liabilities amounted to US
$6.4 billion. Group equity was US $1,202.7 million, compared to US
$ 1,135.5 million at December 31, 2018. Shareholders' equity was US
$640.4 million, compared to US $600.9 million at December 31, 2018,
and book value per share increased from US $1.96 per share at
year-end 2018 to US $2.09 per share. The Group's debt was US $480.3
million with a debt to capital ratio of 28.5%, compared to 30.2% at
December 31, 2018.
On behalf of the Board of Sagicor, I wish to thank our
Shareholders and Customers for their continued support.
