ING (NL) - ING to strengthen Dutch insurance organisation

ING



Published: 07:29 01.07.2009 GMT+2 /HUGIN /Source: ING /AEX: INGB /ISIN: NL0000303600

ING to strengthen Dutch insurance organisation

  •            Combination of Nationale-Nederlanden, RVS and ING Verzekeren Retail
  •            Integrated organisation with dedicated units focusing on consumers, SME and corporates
  •            Migration to Nationale-Nederlanden brand from 2011
  •            Optimisation of current distribution through brokers, bank and own advisory network
  •            Positive P&L contribution from 2010, accumulating to annual EUR 100 million from 2013
  •            Workforce reduction of approx. 800 positions over coming three years, mainly through attrition
    •  
     
    ING announced today that the now separate organisations of Nationale-Nederlanden, RVS and ING Verzekeren Retail (formerly Postbank Verzekeren) will be combined into one customer-oriented organisation under the Nationale-Nederlanden brand, which will be reinforced. The decision is in line with the Back to Basics strategy to simplify the organisation, reduce costs and improve customer focus. The new insurance organisation will have dedicated business units for retail customers, small and medium-sized enterprises and corporate clients.
     
    "This is a next important step in realising our Back to Basics strategy," commented Jan Hommen, CEO of ING. "Now is the time to adapt our Dutch insurance operations to the changing market environment and position them for the future. By streamlining the company and creating dedicated business units for customer groups, we will be able to better serve our over five million insurance customers in the Netherlands with the products they want." 
     
    With this new strategy, ING responds to the customer need for convenience, personal advice, transparency and security. By utilising all current distribution channels, customers will be able to choose for themselves how and where they want to purchase products. The network of independent brokers will continue to play an important part as will both banking channels and the own advisors of ING in the Netherlands.
     
    Within the combined company ING will create a dedicated business unit to provide services to clients who bought insurance policies that are currently no longer sold. This will further optimise customer service and efficiency in dealing with these so-called 'closed books' while at the same time creating more room for innovation and product development elsewhere in the organisation.
     
    By improving customer focus, optimising distribution and sales capabilities and increasing operational efficiency, ING expects to achieve an improved financial performance of the Dutch insurance operations, leading to a positive P&L impact from 2010, accumulating to annually EUR 100 million before tax from 2013 onwards. To achieve this, ING has set ambitious targets to drive costs below the market benchmark level. In the first 4 years, a total of EUR 165 million will be invested to realise the transformation process. 
     
    ING expects the programme to lead to a reduction of the workforce by approximately 800 positions over the coming three years. ING expects this reduction to be mainly realised through natural attrition, internal reallocation and by discontinuing temporary contracts. The workforce measures will be made in accordance with applicable regulations and will be discussed with the unions and respective works councils.

    ING Group (NL) - ING rebalances hedge portfolio for employee options

    ING Group



    Published: 19:01 05.06.2009 GMT+2 /HUGIN /Source: ING Group /AEX: INGA /ISIN: NL0000303600

    ING rebalances hedge portfolio for employee options

    ING Groep N.V. has sold 5,230,000 (depositary receipts for) ordinary shares for its delta hedge portfolio, which is used to hedge employee options. The shares were sold on the open market between 2 June and 5 June at an average price of EUR 7.80 per share.

    ING does not issue new shares to cover employee options. Instead, employees receive shares
    from the delta hedge portfolio, which is maintained to minimise the market risks and price
    fluctuations that arise from the employee option programmes. The hedge position is adjusted periodically, generally on a quarterly basis, in accordance with regulatory requirements and
    ING's policies to prevent market manipulation.

    The hedge book currently holds 35.8 million (depositary receipts for) ordinary ING shares, representing 1.7 % of the 2,063 million shares outstanding.

    ING Group - ING 1Q underlying net loss narrows to EUR -305 million

    ING Group



    ING 1Q underlying net loss narrows to EUR -305 million

    • Underlying net loss narrows substantially to EUR -305 million from EUR -3,073 million in 4Q08
      • Pre-tax impairments, fair value changes, DAC unlocking and other impacts of EUR -1,707 million, down significantly from 4Q08
      • All six business lines post improvement in 1Q09 underlying result before tax compared with 4Q08
      • Banking underlying net profit of EUR 519 million and Insurance underlying net loss of EUR -824 million for 1Q09
      • Divestments and special items totalled EUR -488 million, bringing the quarterly net loss to EUR -793 million
      • All key capital and leverage ratios within target; Bank Tier 1 ratio rose to 9.7% and core Tier 1 ratio rose to 7.5%
    • Significant progress achieved on de-risking, de-leveraging, cost-containment and initiatives to simplify the Group
      • Illiquid Assets Back-up Facility with Dutch State closed in the first quarter of 2009 reduces exposure to Alt-A securities by 80%
      • Listed equity exposure declined to EUR 5.0 billion with increased hedges on remaining exposure
      • Bank balance sheet reduced by EUR 79 billion out of EUR 110 billion planned reduction
      • Group expenses down 3.5% year-on-year and 13.3% from 4Q08; over 75% of targeted 7,000 FTE reduction achieved
      • ING to separate Banking and Insurance Boards to simplify governance and increase business focus
    • Net production of client balances resilient at EUR 11.2 billion, which excludes FX and market value declines
      • Net production driven by EUR 9.6 billion of bank deposits, excluding FX and market impacts, fuelled mainly by ING Direct
      • Limited net outflow at Insurance of EUR 1.4 billion with outflows in the US and Europe partly offset by inflows in Asia/Pacific
      • APE -27.5% and VNB -57.4% versus 1Q08 due to lower sales from weak demand and controlled slowdown in variable annuities
    Chairman's Statement
    "Market conditions remained challenging in the first quarter as equity markets declined further, credit spreads remained elevated, real estate prices continued to fall and loan losses increased as the crisis spread from the financial markets to the real economy," said Jan Hommen, CEO of ING. "In this environment, our first priorities are to reduce costs, risk and leverage to strengthen the Group. At the same time, we are working to reduce complexity by focusing on fewer businesses and markets."
     
    "Market volatility continued to weigh on ING's results, however de-risking and cost-containment measures helped mitigate part of the impact. The underlying net loss narrowed substantially to EUR -305 million in the first quarter from EUR -3,073 million in the fourth quarter. All three banking business lines contributed to an underlying net profit of EUR 519 million despite rising risk costs. Income from the banking business recovered almost to the level of the first quarter last year, supported by strong Financial Markets results. The insurance business lines were impacted by falling asset prices, resulting in an underlying net loss of EUR -824 million."
     
    "We made good progress in our efforts to reduce risks and costs and to simplify our organisation. The Illiquid Assets Back-up Facility with the Dutch State was completed in the first quarter, reducing ING's exposure to Alt-A RMBS by 80% and boosting shareholders' equity. Direct equity exposure was further reduced and hedge positions were increased. The de-leveraging of the Bank's balance sheet is progressing ahead of schedule, with EUR 79 billion of the planned EUR 110 billion reduction completed by the end of March. We are on track to cut expenses by EUR 1 billion this year as we align our cost base with today's leaner operating environment. Operating expenses were down 3.5% from the first quarter last year and 13.3% compared with the fourth quarter of 2008. Of the 7,000 workforce reduction announced in January, 5,380 had been completed by the end of March. In order to simplify governance and increase the customer focus of our leadership, ING will create separate Management Boards for Banking and Insurance. The Group Executive Board will consist of the CEO, CFO and CRO who will also serve on the Banking and Insurance Management Boards."
     
    "Our businesses continued to show a resilient commercial performance as our customers continue to put their trust in ING. Total client balances increased by EUR 11.2 billion excluding currency impacts and market value declines. Growth was driven by a strong inflow of savings, particularly at ING Direct and ING Belgium, while competition for savings in the Netherlands continued to put pressure on volumes and margins. Lending growth was moderate given the economic slowdown, and the insurance businesses showed small net outflows as demand for investment-linked products continued to wane amid the current market volatility."
     
    "This year will remain challenging as markets are volatile and the economic environment continues to be uncertain. We will continue to reduce risks and improve ING's operational performance through our Back to Basics programme while working to restore the confidence of our customers and adapt to their changing needs."

    ING Group (NL) - ING Group AGM adopts 2008 Annual Accounts

    ING Group



    Published: 18:53 27.04.2009 GMT+2 /HUGIN /Source: ING Group /AEX: INGA /ISIN: NL0000303600

    ING Group AGM adopts 2008 Annual Accounts

    The annual General Meeting of ING Groep N.V. today adopted the 2008 Annual Accounts and declared a total dividend for 2008 of EUR 0.74 per (depositary receipt for an) ordinary share. Taking into account the interim dividend of EUR 0.74 made payable in August 2008, no final dividend will be paid out for 2008.
     
    In addition, the AGM approved the appointment of Jan Hommen and Patrick Flynn as new members of the Executive Board, in their respective roles as chairman and chief financial officer. 
     
    The AGM also appointed Tineke Bahlmann, Jeroen van der Veer and Lodewijk de Waal to the Supervisory Board. Tineke Bahlmann and Lodewijk de Waal were recommended for appointment by the Dutch State as a consequence of the transaction between ING Group and the State which became effective on 12 November 2008. As a State nominee, Tineke Bahlmann will replace Peter Elverding who will succeed Jan Hommen as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The required approvals were obtained from the Dutch Central Bank at an earlier stage. In addition, Godfried van der Lugt has been reappointed to the Supervisory Board.
     
    As announced on 19 March 2009, Eric Bourdais de Charbonnière and Wim Kok have retired from the Supervisory Board as of today, reaching or having reached the age of 70. Wim Kok would have retired from the Supervisory Board in 2008 reaching the age of 70 during that year. However, having been appointed chairman of the Audit Committee, he remained in office one extra year.
     
    After the AGM, the Supervisory Board of ING Group consists of:

    ING Group (NL) - Update on strategy: Taking ING back to basics

    Update on strategy: Taking ING back to basics

    * Announced measures to reduce cost, risk and leverage are
    on track
    * Reducing complexity by operating Bank and Insurer
    separately under one Group umbrella
    * Creating a predominantly European bank with one integrated
    balance sheet
    * Further narrowing focus of Insurance to Life and
    Retirement services
    * Fundamental shift in risk profile of US Insurance business
    * Forming one Global Investment Manager including Real
    Estate Investment Management
    * Over time divest EUR 6 to 8 billion in non-core activities
    as market conditions permit


    At the bi-annual ING Investor Day, to be held in Rotterdam today,
    CEO-designate Jan Hommen will provide an update on the measures to
    reduce costs, risk and leverage and the change programme as outlined
    earlier this year. In a keynote speech, Jan Hommen will specifically
    address the efforts to focus the company on fewer, coherent and
    strong businesses. "As the economic crisis is fundamentally changing
    the financial services industry, now is the time to choose where ING
    has the scale and strength to succeed in the current environment and
    to position the company to be a leader when the markets recover," Jan
    Hommen said.

    Since the announcement in January of measures to adapt ING to the new
    business environment, good progress has been made. De-risking
    measures are on track, with the Alt-A Back-up Facility finalised and
    equity and interest rate risk reduced significantly. EUR 55 billion
    of the target to reduce the Bank balance sheet by EUR 110 billion has
    been realised. The EUR 1 billion cost reduction initiative is well on
    track, with over half of the planned 7,000 FTE workforce reduction
    realised.

    To build a stronger organisation, ING will reduce its geographic and
    business scope by building on positions in markets with the strongest
    franchises. Next to a number of leading positions in key markets, a
    group of smaller businesses with no clear outlook for market
    leadership consumes a disproportionate amount of capital. To address
    this over-extension, ING has made portfolio choices based on market
    leadership, capital intensity, return on capital, funding needs,
    earnings contribution and the overall coherence of the Group.

    Earlier, ING indicated targeting divestments with total proceeds of
    EUR 2 to 3 billion. EUR 1.4 billion of this was achieved with the
    sale of ING Canada. The strategic review has resulted in increasing
    the divestment programme to a total of 10 to 15 businesses over the
    coming years. Total proceeds are now expected to be EUR 6 to 8
    billion while EUR 4 billion in capital can be freed up. Any
    divestments will be pursued over time and as market conditions
    permit. "As a result of this process, ING will become a more focused
    group, with substantial earnings power and significant growth
    potential," Jan Hommen said.

    REDUCING COMPLEXITY
    To reduce complexity, ING will operate the Bank and Insurer
    separately under one Group umbrella. ING's banking activities will be
    based on its proven strengths: gathering savings, distribution
    leadership, simple propositions and strong marketing. The bank will
    be predominantly focused on Europe with selective growth options
    elsewhere. It will have one integrated balance sheet and one
    management team.

    Key building blocks include the current Retail activities in the
    Benelux where ING is a leading internet-first bank focused on further
    capturing scale and efficiency gains. Retail Banking in Central
    Europe will aim to further strengthen activities in Poland, Romania
    and Turkey. The greenfield retail operation in the Ukraine will be
    unwound. ING Direct will continue to build on its strong position as
    the leading direct bank. The Commercial Bank will accelerate its
    current transformation process, focusing mainly on the Benelux and
    Central Europe while maintaining positions in European payment and
    cash management, specialised finance and financial markets.

    The Insurance business will focus on its long-term structural
    leadership positions in life and retirement services. The business
    will be managed regionally with an aggregated balance sheet. Key
    building blocks will include the operations in the Benelux, US,
    Central Europe, Latin America and Asia/Pacific.

    In the US a fundamental shift in the risk profile will be achieved by
    focusing on individual life and retirement services and a transition
    of the variable and fixed annuities business to low-risk rollover
    products. For the non-core businesses, including Employee Benefits,
    Group Reinsurance and the existing Annuity books, strategic options
    will be reviewed. The US Financial Products division will be reduced
    as assets mature. ING will sustain its leadership positions in the
    key growth markets in Central Europe, Latin America and key markets
    in Asia/Pacific. The life insurance activities in China and Japan are
    under review.

    The Investment Management operations in Europe, the Americas and
    Asia/Pacific will be integrated into one Global Investment Management
    organisation which can benefit from synergies in marketing,
    operations and distribution and sales. This organisation will also
    include Real Estate Investment Management. Real Estate Development
    will manage down capital exposure and will become part of the
    Commercial Bank, as will Real Estate Finance.

    "We are taking ING back to basics on all levels," Jan Hommen said.
    "The crisis has reinforced the need for us to be even more in touch
    with our customers. We need to put our customers first in everything
    we do and we will make the relationship with our customers our most
    important objective. We will be focusing on fewer but more
    transparent products. We will streamline processes to make them more
    efficient and steer towards operational and commercial excellence.
    Our governance model will be adapted to our strategy, with rigorous
    business performance reviews and reinforced accountability. This will
    result in a company that is easier for customers, motivational for
    employees and more predictable for shareholders", Jan Hommen said.
