Aviva plc First Quarter 2013 Interim Management Statement

16 May 2013
Mark Wilson, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

“In the first quarter we have taken steps to deliver our investment thesis of cash flow and growth.

“Our operating expenses are now 10% lower and we are on track to deliver our cost savings target of £400 million.

“Our key measure of growth – value of new business – has increased by 18% driven by actions to improve profitability in UK Life and growth in our Asian business. In general insurance, our profitability was stable with a COR of 96% with a strong result in Canada.

“Net asset value has increased by 9% to 302 pence and our internal debt level has reduced by £300 million.

“Today’s results demonstrate the first steps towards delivery. I am conscious of the challenges and do not want to set expectations at an unrealistic level. Progress so far has been satisfactory and there is a great deal more we need to do for our shareholders.”
