It was a challenging year for our Company. Our financial results are a reflection of an unfavourable macro-economic environment and the weak performance of some of our strategic investments in equities and property. We remain confident of the longer term returns achievable from these investments. Economic Environment Global Annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth eased in 2018 at 3.7 percent, 0.2 percent lower than earlier projections. Trade wars, high interest rates, and reduced growth in the European Union area continue to lead to expectations of slower growth in 2019 and 2020, projected at 3.5 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively. Sub-Saharan GDP growth projections however predict recovery with growth projected at 3.5 percent in 2019, from an estimated growth of 2.9 percent in 2018. Kenya Kenya’s GDP growth is estimated to have increased to 6 percent in 2018 from 4.9 percent in 2017. This growth was supported by reduced political tensions, favorable weather conditions and recovery in the tourism sector. Notably, improved food production and decline in global oil prices kept inflation stable at 5 percent during the year. “We will continue to innovate and enhance both our products and services and increase our agent network. Our innovations have been driven by our customers’ needs and a focus on key economic activities in the various countries in which we are present.” Britam Holdings Plc Annual Report & Financial Statements 2018 55 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (continued) The business environment faced challenges due to the improvement in the performance of HF as a number of strategic slowdown in credit growth resulting from the interest rate cap initiatives are undertaken. law which remains in place, and additional costs arising from the reintroduction of Value Added Tax on petroleum products after Shareholders’ funds increased by 6 percent on the back of exemption since 2013. issuance of new shares to AfricInvest III – SPV 1 during the year.

  • Africinvest III Invests in Britam
    Africinvest III invests in Britam Britam Holdings Ltd. (Britam) has announced a deal where Africinvest III, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) managed by Africinvest Capital Partners Management II, will acquire a 14.3% equity stake in Britam Holdings Ltd. The transaction, which is subject to approval from both regulators and shareholders, will see Africinvest III inject Kshs 5.7 bn for an allocation of 360.9 mn new ordinary shares at a subscription price of Kshs 15.9 per share, a 6.0% premium to the current market price of Kshs 15.0 per share. Britam is a diversified financial services group with operations in Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi and Mozambique. Britam is Kenya’s largest player in the life segment with a market share of 23.0%. Britam Holdings Ltd is yet to disclose how they intend to use the proceeds from this transaction, but we believe the mostly likely drivers are to (i) shore up capital ratios, given that they have the lowest buffer of the local insurance firms, as shown by the Tangible Equity Tangible Assets (TeTa) ratios below, (ii) fund their real estate development strategy, as part of the group’s strategy to diversify and reduce portfolio risk, and (iii) raise funds early so as to pay off the 5-year medium term note worth Kshs 6.0 bn, issued in August 2015, and set to mature in August 2020.
