Sagicor Financial Corporation Limited
Financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2019
Chairman's Statement
The Sagicor Group maintained a solid performance for the first
six months to June 30, 2019. Group net income closed the period at
US $58.4 million against a prior year result of US $39.4 million.
Net income attributable to shareholders from continuing operations
was US $26.2 million compared to the prior year result of US $21.5
million. Net income to shareholders from continuing operations in
2018 included the impact of a provision on the Government of
Barbados Debt and was partially offset by certain one-time positive
earnings releases.
Total revenue for the Group amounted to US $992.8 million,
against a prior year amount of US $633.3 million, an increase of US
$359.5 million or 57%. Revenue growth was driven primarily by the
USA business segment which generated premium growth, amplified by
our strategic decision to cease reinsuring its premiums to third
parties. Revenues continue to grow year over year in the Sagicor
Jamaica and Sagicor Life business segments as well.
Benefits including change in actuarial liabilities for future
benefits were US $639.7 million, compared to US $298.4 million for
the previous year and was consistent with the growth in premium
income. Expenses including credit impairment losses were US $268.3
million, compared to US $286.9 million for the same period in the
prior year, a decrease of 6%. Expenses in the prior year included
credit impairment losses of US $57.8 million, largely related to
the impairment of the Government of Barbados debt. Current year
expenses included the impact of higher commissions related to sales
growth in the USA segment.
Group comprehensive income was US $102.0 million, compared to a
loss of US $17.0 million for the prior year. Shareholder
comprehensive income from continuing operations was US $57.5
million, compared to a loss of US $13.0 million for the prior year.
The Group continues to benefit from significant net gains on
investments measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive
Income. Losses incurred on the retranslation of foreign currency
operations reduced this year when compared to the previous
year.
In the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2019,
assets amounted to US $7.9 billion, and liabilities amounted to US
$6.6 billion. Group equity was US $1,224.7 million, compared to US
$1,135.5 million at December 31, 2018. Shareholders' equity was US
$658.6 million, compared to US $600.9 million at December 31, 2018.
The Group's debt was US $473.9 million with a debt to capital ratio
of 27.9%, compared to 30.2% at December 31, 2018.
On June 4, our shareholders overwhelmingly approved the
previously announced transaction with Alignvest Acquisition II
Corporation ("AQY"), with 99.5% of shares voting in favour of the
transaction. Our shareholders showed further support by electing to
receive an aggregate of approximately US $20 million in cash
consideration out of the maximum available US $205 million we
offered to them. As a result, the vast majority of Sagicor's
shareholders will continue to retain their investment in Sagicor
post the transaction.
Following completion of the Transaction, which is expected to
close in the fourth quarter of 2019 subject to customary regulatory
approvals, it is expected that Sagicor will retain over US $420
million of net cash from the transaction, leaving our company
exceptionally well capitalized for future growth.
On behalf of the Board of Sagicor, I wish to thank our
Shareholders and Customers for their continued support.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the accounting policies set out in note 2 of the December 31, 2018
audited financial statements, except for the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases'.
This standard became effective from January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 removes
the distinction between operating and finance 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.
In accordance with the transition provisions in IFRS 16, the standard
has been implemented using the modified retrospective method with no
restatement of comparative information. In applying IFRS 16 for the first
time, the group has used the practical expedients permitted by the standard.
