SAGICOR FINANCIAL CORPORATION LIMITED
FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHSED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
The Sagicor Group had a resilient performance despite
significant adverse events in the regional and international
markets, namely, credit losses on Government of Barbados debt,
mark-to-market losses on our international bonds and the
devaluation of the Jamaican dollar to the US dollar.
The Sagicor Group net income for the nine months to September
30, 2018 was US $59.0 million, compared to a prior year result of
US $85.8 million. Group net income attributable to shareholders was
US $31.7 million, compared to a prior year result of US $54.8
million.
During the period the Sagicor Group adopted two new accounting
standards which became effective from January 1, 2018. IFRS 15,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers was adopted, and affects how
income is recognised on contracts by companies. IFRS 9, Financial
Instruments, was also adopted. This accounting standard changes the
way that financial instruments are recognised and measured. The
standard introduces new measurement categories for financial
instruments and an expected credit loss model for impairment.
On September 7, 2018 the Government of Barbados (GoB) entered
into a Staff-Level Agreement with the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) to provide financial and technical assistance. As part of the
programme, the GoB launched a Debt Exchange Offer for GoB Domestic
Barbados dollar debt holders on September 7, 2018. The GoB
announced on October 15, 2018 that its Exchange Offer received
unanimous support from the domestic creditors. A restructuring plan
has not yet been announced for the External US dollar denominated
debt. The Sagicor Group holds approximately US $337 million in GoB
debt, of which US $278 million is Domestic Barbados-dollar
denominated debt. The Sagicor Group has determined the net impact
of the credit events on GoB debt to shareholders at approximately
US $43 million, as at September 30, 2018 (gross expected credit
loss was US $101 million less actuarial offsets).
Total revenue for the Group was US $1,068.7 million, compared to
a prior year amount of US $910.9 million, an increase of 17%. The
growth in revenue was mainly due to the growth in premiums in the
USA segment, where the gross premiums were US $263.5 million
compared to US$ 133.7 million for the same period in the prior
year, an increase of 97%.
Benefits were US $537.4 million compared to US $475.1 million
for the prior year an increase of 13%. The increase was largely
driven by the growth in new business and changes in the interest
rate environment.
Expenses were US $443.0 million, compared to US $329.1 million
for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 35%. Expenses
include the provision for losses on all assets arising from the
adoption of IFRS 9, and this result was largely driven by the
provision for the Government of Barbados securities.
Group comprehensive income was a loss of US $6.6 million,
compared to income of US $108.4 million for the prior year.
Shareholder comprehensive income was a loss of US $6.8 million
compared to income of US $70.1 million for the prior year. The
decline in shareholder comprehensive income was mainly due to
marked to market declines on our international bond portfolio, and
the impact of the devaluation of the Jamaican dollar relative to
the US dollar of US$ 35.1 million, compared to the prior year.
Group assets were US $6.8 billion and Group liabilities were US
$5.9 billion. Group equity was US $895.9 million, compared to US
$888.6 million for the prior year. Shareholders' equity was US
$598.1 million, compared to US $601.0 million for the prior
year.
The Group's debt was US $404.4 million with a debt-to-capital
ratio of 31.1%, compared to 31.3% for the prior year.
On behalf of the Board of Sagicor, I wish to thank our
stakeholders for their continued support.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the accounting policies set out in note 2 of the December 31, 2017
audited financial statements, except for the adoption of IFRS 15 -
'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' and IFRS 9 - 'Financial
Instruments', which replaces the provisions of IAS 39 - 'Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. These standards became
effective from January 1, 2018.
IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39, 'Financial instruments:
recognition and measurement'. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the
mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement
categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through
other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") and fair value through profit
and loss ("FVPL"). The basis of classification depends on the
entity's business model and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset. Classification for debt
instruments is driven by the entity's business model for managing
the financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI"). If a
debt instrument is held to collect, it may be carried at amortised
cost if it also meets the SPPI requirement. Debt instruments that
meet the SPPI requirement that are held in a portfolio where an
entity both holds to collect assets' cash flows and sells assets
may be classified as FVOCI. Financial assets that do not contain
cash flows that are SPPI must be measured at FVPL. Investments in
equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However,
management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in
fair value in other comprehensive income, provided the instrument
is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for
trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. The
impairment requirements apply to financial assets measured at
amortised cost and FVOCI, lease receivables and certain loan
commitments and financial guarantee contracts. At initial
recognition, an allowance is required for expected credit losses
('ECL') resulting from default events that are possible within the
next 12 months ('12-month ECL'). In the event of a significant
increase in credit risk, allowance is required for ECL resulting
from all possible default events over the expected life of the
financial instrument ('lifetime ECL'). Financial assets where
12-month ECL is recognised are considered to be 'stage 1';
financial assets which are considered to have experienced a
significant increase in credit risk are in 'stage 2'; and financial
assets for which there is objective evidence of impairment are
considered to be in default or otherwise credit impaired are in
'stage 3'.
2. RESTATEMENTS
Effective January 1, 2018 the Group implemented a policy to
harmonise its actuarial reserving practices across operational
segments. This is a voluntary change in policy was reflected as a
prior period adjustment in accordance with IAS 8. The impact of
this change was an increase in opening equity at January 1, 2017 of
US $6.2 million.
Net income of the discontinued operaton and assets of the
discontinued operation were adjusted by US $8.2 million to reflect
the share of income for full year 2017 income attributable to the
nine months of 2017.
Actuarial reserves (benefits) for the nine months of 2017 was
adjusted by US $1.3 million along with associated taxed of US $0.5
million relating to various actuarial changes attributable to the
period. These actuarial changes also impacted opening equity at
September 2017 where opening equity was reduced by US $2.1
million.
Actuarial liabilities at September 2017 were increased by US
$7.6 million and actuarial liability fair value reserves in
comprehensive income, were correspondingly reduced to reflect fair
value movements on available for sale assets.
