turned profitable on a consolidated basis, posting net profit after tax
(adjusting for minority interest) at Rs. 8.7 Crore in 2010-11, against
a net loss of Rs 71.6 crore in the previous year. The turnaround was
primarily on account of MNYL profitability, owing to higher renewal
income and stringent cost management initiatives. A brief update on the
business achievements of your Company''s key operating subsidiaries is
as below:
(i) Max New York Life Insurance Company Limited
Financial Year 2010-11 was a year of continuing growth for Max New York
Life Insurance Company Limited (MNYL). During the year under review,
total revenue (first year premium renewal premium) increased by 20%
to Rs.5,813 crore; renewal premium recorded a growth of 25% to Rs.3,751
crore; first year premium recorded a growth of 11% to Rs.2,062 crore.
Individual adjusted first year premium (adjusted for single pay), which
MNYL believes is the true barometer of new business performance of a
life insurance company, was Rs.1,724 crore, recording a growth of 9%.
MNYL''s market share among the private players based on adjusted first
year premium went up by 200 bps to 7.5%. Sum assured recorded a growth
of 26% to Rs.1,54,687 crore. At 81%, MNYL''s conservation ratio remained
one of the best in the industry. Cost ratio improved from 42% to 38%
due to the impact of cost management initiatives taken during the year.
Profit after tax went up by more than 12 times to Rs.283 crore. Assets
under management recorded a growth of 37% to Rs.13,836 crore. MNYL
maintained more than double the stipulated solvency margin at 365%.
During the year under review, MNYL launched a range of ULIPs, designed
to meet specific needs of different customers like Shiksha Plus II,
Shubh Invest and Flexifortune. MNYL also launched ''College Plan'' - a
traditional guaranteed money back plan, which helps customers create a
corpus for their child''s higher education.
During 2010-11, MNYL took an important step towards evolving a more
comprehensive multi-channel distribution network with the corporate
agency agreement with Axis Bank – the third largest private sector bank
in the country. This channel became active in May 2010 and provided
MNYL with a strong national bancassurance relationship. With around
1,400 branches across more than 600 locations, it was expected that the
relationship with Axis Bank will provide MNYL access to a relatively
large number of new customers. This expectation has been achieved. By
March 2011, MNYL had sold more than 1 lakh policies through this new
relationship. It is the first and only Indian life insurance company to
have been awarded the CII- EXIM Bank Commendation Certificate for
''Strong Commitment to Excel'' for three consecutive years from 2008 to
2010.
In terms of first year premiums, the regional distribution across India
has become more equitable. West contributed 29%, North 28%, South 25%
and East 18%.
During 2010-11, traditional products gained greater share in MNYL''s
product mix. In fact, the share of traditional plans in total revenue
increased from 30% in 2009-10 to 39% in 2010-11, while that of ULIPs
decreased from 70% to 61% over the same period. MNYL''s assets under
management grew by 37% to Rs.13,836 crore as on 31 March 2011, which
comprised roughly 60% debt and 40% equity.
During the period under review, MNYL has made significant progress.
Today, MNYL is not only one of the most recognised brands in the life
insurance segment, but also across the Indian corporate sector as a
whole. The brand awareness score touched an all time high of 98% in
March 2011. This is a significant 11 percentage point jump over March
2010. With this development, the brand is now ranked fourth among all
private insurance players.
