Statement regarding Ogden Rate decision
Saga plc ("Saga" or "the Group"), the UK's specialist in products and services for life after 50, provides the following update on the UK Government's decision to move the Ogden Rate to -0.75% from 2.5%.
The UK Government first announced the decision to launch a consultation process on a potential downgrade to the Ogden Rate in 2012. In line with its prudent approach to reserving, Saga has therefore held a specific amount within its reserve margin in anticipation of a reduction in the Ogden Rate.
Given the size of the rate change, there will be a one-off, pre-tax impact on profit of GBP4m on the Group's results for the year ended 31 January 2017. This will not impact the Board's deliberations regarding the proposed final dividend recommendation and the Group remains well capitalised.
Saga's older demographic provides the Group with a defensive advantage, with lower claims frequency generating less exposure to large and small bodily injury claims, and to periodic payment orders (PPOs). The Group does not expect the Ogden rate change to have a material impact on its financial outlook.
