Normalised profit framework and a reconciliation to statutory net profit after tax is disclosed in the 2021 Financial Report – Operating and Financial Review Section 8.
-
Normalised EPS based on basic share count. Dilutive share count represents theoretical dilution as it assumes Capital Notes (i.e. hybrid debt) and subordinated debt fully converts into equity. It is Challenger’s intention to repurchase Capital Notes and not allow them to convert into equity, as demonstrated with the replacement of Capital Notes 1 issued in 2014 with a new instrument in November 2020.

Comprises -$183m as a result of illiquidity premium adjustment and $96m gain on policy liabilities. Policy liability gain reflects changes to bond yields and interest rates used to hedge policy liabilities, expected inflation rates and expense assumptions on policy liabilities. The policy liability gain was significant in FY21 as a result of the significant relative movements in the yields on inflation instruments and semi-government securities held for hedging purposes.

In FY21 (from 1 July 2020), Life's investment portfolio categories were amended to more accurately reflect changes in portfolio composition. The equities and infrastructure categories were combined (~3% of Life's investment assets), and absolute return funds and insurance related investments were reclassified from equities to alternatives (~5% of Life's investment assets) as both are relatively uncorrelated to equity market returns. FY20/FY19 have been restated based on this reclassification for comparability.
