Overview of results

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives referred to in the financial review relate to the six months ended 30 September 2018.

Investec Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Investec Limited, posted an increase in headline earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders of 18.6% to R2 418 million (2018:

Financial review

Salient operational features for the period under review include:

Total operating income before expected credit losses increased by 4.8% to R6 442 million (2018: R6 149 million). The components of operating income are analysed further below:

-    Net interest income increased by 9.0% to R4 382 million (2018: R4 019 million) supported by private client activity and a higher net interest margin
-    Net fee and commission income increased 0.5% to R1 081 million (2018: R1 076 million) reflecting reasonable activity levels given the macro-economic backdrop
-    Investment income amounted to R503 million (2018: R253 million) reflecting higher income from the listed and unlisted investment portfolio 
-    Share of post taxation profit of associates of R262 million (2018: R369 million) primarily reflects earnings in relation to the group's investment in the IEP Group. 
-    Total trading income decreased significantly to R214 million (2018: R431 million), as a result of translation gains on foreign currency equity investments recognised in the prior period.

Expected credit loss (ECL) impairment charges amounted to R271 million (2018: R376 million). The annualised credit loss ratio is below its long-term average trend at 0.18%
(2018: 0.29%). Stage 3 assets (net of ECL impairment charges) as a percentage of net core loans subject to ECL was 0.8% (31 March 2019: 0.7%).

The cost to income ratio reduced to 50.7% (2018: 52.3%). Operating costs were well contained, increasing 1.6% to R3 267 million (2018: R3 217 million).

As a result of the foregoing factors profit before taxation increased by 13.5% to R2 878 million (2018: R2 536 million). Profit after taxation increased by 17.8% to R2 511 million
(2018: R2 132 million).
