6 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
RECONCILIATION BETWEEN THE STATUTORY RESULTS (IFRS) AND THE MANAGEMENT REPORTED (NON-
IFRS) RESULTS
The discussion of operating performance in the operating and financial review section of this report is presented on a management
reported basis unless otherwise stated. Management reported results are non-IFRS financial information and are not directly
comparable to the statutory results presented in other parts of this financial report. A reconciliation between the two is provided in
this section and the guidance provided in Australian Securities and Investments Commission Regulatory Guide 230 'Disclosing non-
IFRS financial information' ('RG 230') has been followed when presenting the management reported results. Non-IFRS financial
information has not been audited by the external auditor, but has been sourced from the financial reports. IAG’s statutory and
management reported profit before income tax from continuing operations are the same.
On 24 January 2020, and subsequently on 24 July 2020, IAG advised that its current year results would contain a provision for
customer refunds. The provision comprises premium refunds, interest attributable to those refunds and the cost of administering
the associated remediation program. This provision relates to multi-year pricing-related issues identified by IAG where discounts
were not always applied in full to premiums for all customers who may have been eligible. This provision is not expected to be a
feature of the Group’s future sustainable earnings profile. As a result, and to ensure consistency of the reporting of key insurance
measures and metrics, this item has been shown below the insurance profit in the management reported view of the current year’s
results. This view is consistent with the approach adopted in IAG’s Investor Report.
Reconciliation between the statutory results (IFRS) and the management reported (non-IFRS) results is presented below:

The adjustments summarised above reflect the current year pre-tax earnings impact of the inclusion of the provision for customer
refunds. The gross provision for customer refunds, interest attributable to those refunds and the cost of administering the
associated remediation program is $290 million (refer to Note 5.3) and after recognition of a $44 million recovery from IAG's whole-
of-account quota share arrangements, the current year net pre-tax earnings impact is $246 million. After tax and outside equity
interests, the net cost of this provision to IAG is $141 million. This item has been excluded from cash earnings for dividend
calculation purposes.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
OPERATING RESULT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR
The reported insurance margin of 10.1% was lower than the prior year (2019: 16.9%). This reflected the combined impact of an
unfavourable net natural peril claims cost outcome for the year, a net prior period reserve strengthening, a negative credit spread
effect and a modest reduction in the Group's underlying insurance margin.
IAG’s underlying insurance margin was 16.0% compared to 16.6% in the prior year. While IAG’s underlying operating performance
in the first half of the year was strong and broadly in line with expectations, the second half outcome was impacted by increased
reinsurance costs as a result of the higher than anticipated natural peril losses, lower investment returns and deterioration in the
performance of some Australian long-tail portfolios.
7
Overall GWP growth of 1.1% compared to the prior year was in line with IAG’s guidance of ‘low single digit’ growth. GWP growth in
the second half of the year was 0.8% and was reduced by an estimated adverse COVID-19 impact of approximately $80 million,
constraining second half growth by over 100 bps.
COVID-19 impacts
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a range of effects on IAG’s business and financial performance in the current year. As referenced
above, GWP is estimated to have been reduced by approximately $80 million, primarily from lower new business opportunities in
the months of March to May. New business volumes have shown a recovery since the end of May and are now tracking close to
pre-COVID levels in both Australia and New Zealand. However, there is increased uncertainty surrounding potential impacts
associated with the recent declaration of a State of Disaster in Victoria with effect from 2 August 2020. Business retention has
held at high levels in all core portfolios. Given that premium is earned over time, the COVID-19-influenced reduction in GWP has
had only a minor impact on IAG’s insurance profit or net profit in the current year.
In the second half of the year, IAG’s underwriting profit has borne three largely offsetting COVID-19 effects (on a post-quota share
basis):
an estimated net benefit of approximately $150 million from reduced claim costs, comprising:
a significant benefit from lower motor claims frequency, particularly in the months of April and May. Towards the end of
the current financial year a rebound in frequency was experienced as lockdown requirements generally eased, however
there was a high degree of variability by state in Australia; and
a partial offset from claims incurred in other COVID-19 affected business classes such as landlords’ insurance and travel
insurance;
a provision of approximately $100 million for potential COVID-19 claim cost impacts that are highly uncertain, sit within a wide
range and have been estimated on a probability-weighted basis. This accords with accounting requirements and spans
potential business interruption, landlords’ and other insurance class impacts, including the estimated impact an economic
downturn will have on the settlement of long-tail claims; and
increased costs of approximately $50 million flowing from COVID-19-related measures or responses, covering:
additional operating expenses of approximately $30 million, mainly from moving employees to a ‘working from home’
basis; and
the decision, accelerated by the impact COVID-19 has had on customer behaviours, to close the AMI branch network in
New Zealand, at a cost in excess of $20 million.
The provision for potential COVID-19 claim cost impacts, which has been estimated on a probability-weighted basis, includes an
allowance for possible business interruption claim exposure in Australia. For further information refer to Note 1.2.
Separately, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered extreme investment market volatility from late February onwards. This contributed to
an adverse mark-to-market credit spread effect in IAG’s second half insurance profit of over $50 million and has driven a second
half loss of over $230 million from shareholders’ funds income, predominantly from equity and alternative asset classes.
Asia
In October 2019, IAG announced an agreed sale of its interest in SBI General Insurance Company Limited (SBI General) in India.
This transaction was completed in March 2020 and resulted in a gain on sale of $326 million being reflected in profit after tax for
the current year. IAG continues to explore options for its remaining Asian general insurance interests.
Provision for customer refunds
In the first half of the year IAG included a post-tax provision of $82 million for customer refunds, interest attributable to those
refunds and the cost of administering the associated remediation program. This related to a specific multi-year pricing issue
identified by IAG where discounts were not always applied in full to premiums for all customers who may have been eligible. This
has been increased to $141 million post-tax for the full year, to update the initial provision, include further refund programs in
respect of similar pricing issues and provide for additional related administration costs. The issues concerned were identified as
part of a proactive review of pricing systems and processes, which is ongoing.
Net profit after tax
The Group's profit after tax for the year was $494 million (2019: $1,173 million). After adjusting for non-controlling interests in the
Group result, net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company was $435 million (2019: $1,076 million) and was 60.0%
lower than the prior year. This outcome included:
an approximately 40% reduction in pre-tax insurance profit to $741 million, primarily owing to a collective adverse movement
in prior period reserving, natural peril and credit spread impacts of nearly $500 million;
an adverse $400 million pre-tax movement in investment income on shareholders’ funds, flowing from the volatile investment
market conditions experienced in the second half of the year; and
inclusion of the post-tax provision of $141 million for customer refunds; partially offset by
a $326 million profit after tax on the sale of the interest in SBI General in India, compared to a $208 million profit on the sale
of the Thailand operations recognised in the prior year.
8 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Gross written premium
Total GWP of $12,135 million (2019: $12,005 million) represented a 1.1% increase compared to the prior year. This encompassed:
$9,367 million in Australia, representing growth of 0.4% with some improvement evident in the second half of the year,
notwithstanding estimated modestly negative COVID-19 influences of approximately $60 million; and
$2,754 million in New Zealand, translating to reported growth of 3.5% led by commercial line volumes and commercial
property and liability rates. COVID-19 is estimated to have had an adverse effect in the second half of the year of
approximately $20 million.
Overall GWP growth in the second half of the year was 0.8%, compared to 1.4% in the first half. Allowing for estimated adverse
effects from COVID-19, as reflected in lower new business volumes, GWP growth in the second half would have exceeded 2%.
In the current year, GWP growth also absorbed the adverse impact of business exits concluded in the last financial year, principally
in the area of commercial underwriting agencies in Australia, and lower Compulsory Third Party (CTP) rates stemming from scheme
change.
Insurance margin
IAG’s current year reported insurance profit of $741 million (2019: $1,224 million) was 39.5% lower than the prior year. The
reported insurance margin decreased to 10.1% (2019: 16.9%). Contributing to this outcome were:
an unfavourable net natural peril experience which saw related net claims costs increase by $277 million relative to the prior
year;
a net prior period reserve strengthening of $48 million, compared to net releases of $126 million in the prior year;
a negative credit spread impact of $46 million in the current year, compared to a minor negative effect of $6 million in the
prior year; and
a modest decline in the Group's underlying margin, as described below.
Underlying margin
IAG defines its underlying margin as the reported insurance margin adjusted for:
net natural peril claim costs less related allowance for the period;
reserve releases in excess of 1% of net earned premium (NEP); and
credit spread movements.
From the 2021 financial year, IAG is including zero allowance for reserve releases in its underlying margin definition based on its
view of future reserve movements.

Management reported insurance margin is the insurance profit as a percentage of NEP as disclosed in the Investor Report. Based on the statutory results, the
equivalent statutory insurance margin for the current year is 6.8%.
Similar to the management reported results, the underlying insurance margin is a non-IFRS measure that is designed to present, in
the opinion of management, the results from ongoing operating activities in a way that best and most appropriately reflects the
Group’s underlying performance.
IAG’s underlying insurance margin was 16.0% (2019: 16.6%), including a softer second half outcome of 15.1%. The full year
underlying margin movement included:
approximately $50 million of additional regulatory and compliance costs, including increased investment in risk-related
resources;
a greater than 100 bps effect from lower interest rates impacting investment income;
a broadly neutral effect from COVID-19 influences in the second half of the year; partially offset by
further net benefits from the group-wide optimisation program which met the targeted run rate reduction of $250 million per
annum in the first half of the year.
Key drivers of the lower underlying margin in the second half of the year in comparison to the first half of the year were:
higher reinsurance costs flowing from increased cover and rates on the calendar 2020 catastrophe renewal, as well as the
cost of replacement covers purchased following the peril activity early in calendar 2020;
lower investment returns from lower interest rates; and
a deterioration in the performance of some Australian commercial long-tail portfolios.
Tax expense
IAG reported a tax expense of $37 million (2019: $363 million), representing an effective tax rate of 6.9% (2019: 27.3%).
The low headline rate reflects the profit on sale of SBI General representing over half of pre-tax earnings and not being subject to
tax in Australia. Adjusting solely for this item produces an effective tax rate closer to 23.9%.
Other contributory elements reconciling the effective tax rate to the prevailing Australian corporate rate of 30% are:
differences in tax rates applicable to IAG’s foreign operations, principally in New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia; and
franking credits generated from IAG’s investment portfolio.
9
Investment income on shareholders’ funds
Net investment income on shareholders’ funds was a loss of $181 million (2019: $227 million profit), reflecting the extreme
market volatility accompanying the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The adverse performance was the result of:
the impact of volatile equity markets on portfolios in the second half of the year;
negative mark-to-market impacts in alternative asset classes, comprising higher yielding credit strategies, global convertible
bonds and hedge funds; and
an $11 million write-down of IAG’s 16.9% interest in Bohai in China.
DIVISIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
A. AUSTRALIA
Australia accounted for 77% of Group GWP and recorded a lower reported insurance margin of 7.3% (2019: 14.9%) following
substantive adverse peril and prior period release movements. Australia’s underlying performance of 14.9% was slightly lower than
the prior year (2019: 15.5%).
I. Premiums
Australia reported GWP of $9,367 million (2019: $9,331 million) in the current year, an increase of 0.4%. After a flat performance
in the first half of the year, GWP growth in the second half of the year was 0.7%, reflecting diminished adverse effect from lower
CTP premiums, reduced commercial volume loss and a small negative from COVID-19 effects. COVID-19 is estimated to have
reduced GWP in the second half of the year by approximately $60 million, primarily through reduced new business volumes,
especially in the period March to May 2020.
The overall Australian GWP outcome includes:
largely rate-driven growth of 2% in short tail motor, with some offset from volume;
home growth of over 5%, which was primarily rate-derived, with some volume growth in Victoria; and
relatively flat like-for-like commercial lines GWP, after allowance for business exits in the prior financial year, with average rate
increases of approximately 5.5% countered by lower volumes; partially offset by
a 7.5% contraction in CTP, predominantly from scheme change-driven cumulative rate reductions.
II. Insurance profit
Australia reported an insurance profit of $420 million, compared to $842 million in the prior year. This equates to a lower reported
insurance margin of 7.3% (2019: 14.9%). The reduction reflects the net effect of:
a severe shift in prior period reserving, from a favourable impact that equated to 2.0% of NEP in the prior year to a net
strengthening equivalent to 1.1% of NEP in the current year;
a greater than $200 million increase in net natural peril claims cost, compared to the prior year, with an associated reduction
in margin of 360bps;
an adverse movement in credit spread impacts of $40 million; and
a modest net negative effect from other COVID-19 influences, embracing a moderately positive overall claims impact and
higher operating expenses.
III. Underlying margin
Australia’s underlying margin of 14.9% was slightly lower than the prior year (2019: 15.5%). This included a weaker second half
outcome of 13.9%, which was over 200bps lower than the first half owing to the combination of:
a small net negative on underwriting profit from COVID-19 effects;
adverse performance in packaged portfolios mainly due to a small number of larger losses; and
lower interest rates driving reduced investment income and not fully compensated for in pricing actions.
IV. Fee-based business
Fee-based income in Australia comprises contributions from three main sources:
IAG’s role as an agent under the Victorian workers’ compensation scheme, which is underwritten by the state government;
investment in new businesses focusing on advanced technologies, data asset capabilities, innovation and mobility initiatives;
and
the car servicing aspect of the MotorServe acquisition, which was purchased during the second half of the year.
Total net income from fee-based operations in the current year was a loss of $11 million, compared to a loss of $1 million in the
prior year, including a second half loss of $17 million. This included:
net costs associated with new business initiatives of approximately $19 million, including those arising from the Safer
Journeys crash detection and response service;
an initial loss of approximately $3 million from MotorServe’s car servicing activities; and
a positive contribution of $11 million (2019: $13 million) from the Victorian workers’ compensation business. An improved
underlying performance was achieved after allowing for $5 million of prior period fee income (2019: $10 million), which is
typically reported in the opening half of the financial year. The decrease in prior period income was as expected as IAG moves
further into its five-year contract and opportunities to generate returns from tail incentive fees and scheme actuarial releases
diminish.
B. NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand accounted for 23% of Group GWP and recorded a lower reported insurance margin of 20.2% (2019: 24.7%) following
significantly higher net natural perils claim costs and higher large claims experience. New Zealand’s underlying insurance margin
of 18.6% was also lower than the prior year (2019: 19.5%).
10 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
I. Premiums
New Zealand’s current year GWP grew by 3.5% to $2,754 million, compared to prior year GWP of $2,660 million. This increase
included a favourable foreign exchange translation effect, with local currency GWP increasing by 2.4%, to NZ$2,904 million (2019:
NZ$2,836 million). This result was driven by the combination of:
strong GWP growth from Business, driven by volume increases across all key commercial line portfolios and higher rates in
commercial property and liability; and
Consumer GWP holding to prior year levels, with growth experienced in the commercial motor and AMI private motor portfolios
through increased rates and volume.
II. Insurance profit
The New Zealand business reported an insurance profit of $330 million, compared to $390 million in the prior year. This equates
to a reported insurance margin of 20.2% (2019: 24.7%). The reduction reflects the net effect of:
significantly higher net natural peril claim costs, centred on the Canterbury hailstorm;
higher large claims experience; and
lower investment income on technical reserves, reflecting reduced interest rates; partially offset by
increased net earned premium, driven by solid GWP growth in the Business division; and
a modest net benefit from COVID-19 effects, with lower motor frequency benefits countered by increased operating costs,
including those related to the AMI branch network closure.
Prior period reserve releases of $18 million were slightly higher than those recognised in the prior year (2019: $14 million). The
bulk of the releases occurred in the first half of the year and were predominantly sourced from professional indemnity exposures to
residual post-Canterbury earthquake risks.
III. Earthquake settlements
Good progress continues to be made with the settlement of claims associated with the legacy Canterbury earthquake events. At 30
June 2020 over NZ$7.2 billion of claim settlements had been completed, with less than 900 claims remaining open out of the more
than 90,000 received.
During the second half of the year, IAG increased its gross reserved position on the three major earthquakes in financial year 2011
by NZ$100 million, with all of this covered by reinsurance. Considerable legacy reinsurance protection remains for the September
2010 and June 2011 events, and approximately NZ$480 million of adverse development cover is still available in relation to the
February 2011 event.
Outstanding Canterbury earthquake claims include those subject to dispute and litigation, as well as recently-received over-cap
claims from the Earthquake Commission (EQC). It remains IAG's expectation that finalisation of all residual claims will take several
years given associated complexity.
C. CORPORATE AND OTHER
A pre-tax profit of $43 million was reported in this segment, which compares to a profit of $99 million in the prior year. The
movement primarily reflects the reduction in net investment income on shareholders’ funds of $408 million partially offset by an
increase of $333 million in other net operating result. The favourable movement in the other net operating result predominantly
reflects the gain on sale of IAG’s interest in SBI General in India of $309 million (excluding the favourable taxation effects, included
in tax expense).
I. Share of net profit/(loss) of associates
The Group's share of associates was a profit of $57 million (2019: $42 million). This result includes AmGeneral Holdings Berhad
(AmGeneral) in Malaysia and SBI General profit for the nine-month period up until the sale in March 2020. As IAG has significantly
wound back its activities in the Asia region, related support and development costs have materially reduced.
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
A. FINANCIAL POSITION
The total assets of the Group as at 30 June 2020 were $29,694 million compared to $29,286 million as at 30 June 2019.
Movements within the overall net increase of $408 million include:
a decrease in investments of $584 million associated with the payments of the 2019 final dividend and 2020 interim dividend
totalling $693 million and redemption of the reset exchangeable securities (RES) of $550 million. This has been partially offset
by the proceeds from the sale of IAG’s interest in SBI General and operating earnings for the year;
a decrease in investment in joint ventures and associates of $193 million, reflecting the derecognition of the investment in SBI
General following IAG’s sale of its holding in the entity; offset by
a $531 million increase in right-of-use assets primarily associated with the initial application of the new lease accounting
standard (AASB 16 Leases);
a $290 million increase in reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims primarily associated with the increase in
natural peril costs during the financial year and increase in recoveries on long-tail classes due to the downward movement in
the yield curve;
a $249 million increase in trade and other receivables, predominantly relating to an increase in reinsurance recoveries on paid
claims in respect of natural peril events during the year; and
a $122 million increase in deferred tax assets attributable to the increase in provisions and potential COVID-19 claim liabilities
recognised during the year.
11
The total liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2020 were $23,340 million compared to $22,576 million as at 30 June 2019.
Movements within the overall net increase of $764 million include:
a $655 million increase in lease liabilities associated with the initial application of the new lease accounting standard (AASB
16 Leases);
a $288 million increase in the outstanding claims liability representing the impact of higher reserves for natural perils, COVID-
19 allowances, strengthening across Australian long-tail reserves and yield curve impacts;
a $250 million increase in provisions predominantly reflecting amounts provided for customer refunds; offset by
a $554 million reduction in interest-bearing liabilities following the redemption of the RES during the year.
IAG shareholders’ equity (excluding non-controlling interests) decreased from $6,404 million as at 30 June 2019 to $6,077 million
as at 30 June 2020, reflecting the combined impact of:
current year net profit attributable to shareholders of $435 million;
payments totalling $693 million in respect of the 2019 final dividend and 2020 interim dividend; and
$33 million reduction in opening retained earnings on initial application of AASB 16 Leases.
B. CASH FROM OPERATIONS
The net cash inflows from operating activities for the year ended 30 June 2020 were $381 million compared to net cash inflows of
$589 million for the prior year. The movement is mainly attributable to the net effect of:
an increase in claim costs paid of $736 million offset by an increase in reinsurance and other recoveries received of $728
million largely attributable to the increase in natural peril events compared with the prior year;
a $151 million increase in outwards reinsurance premiums paid reflecting the timing of the instalments paid on the
catastrophe cover compared with the prior year and the additional premiums paid for reinstatement and the buy-down cover
on the Group catastrophe programme; and
an increase in other operating payments of $217 million, predominantly driven by the timing of settlement to creditors.
C. INVESTMENTS
The Group’s investments totalled $10,100 million as at 30 June 2020, excluding investments held in joint ventures and associates,
with 57% represented by the technical reserves portfolio. The decrease in total investments since 30 June 2019 ($10,684 million)
reflects the combined effect of:
$693 million of dividends paid including the prior year’s final dividend and the current year’s interim dividend;
redemption of the $550 million RES in December 2019;
the impact of falling equity markets in the second half of the year, both domestically and overseas, and negative mark-to-
market impacts in alternative asset classes; partially offset by
net proceeds received following completion of the sale of IAG’s operations in India ($579 million) and Indonesia ($14 million);
and
operating earnings during the period.
IAG’s overall investment allocation is defensively positioned, with over 89% of total investments in fixed interest and cash as at 30
June 2020. Technical reserves, which back insurance liabilities, are wholly invested in fixed interest and cash. A more diversified
approach is taken to shareholders’ funds, comprising a mix of fixed interest and cash and growth assets (equities and alternatives).
IAG’s allocation to growth assets was 25% of shareholders’ funds at 30 June 2020, compared to 42% of shareholders’ funds at 30
June 2019. The reduction in the allocation to growth assets reflects the combined impact of:
the net fall in domestic and offshore equity markets;
mark-to-market impacts in alternative asset classes;
some active reallocation of funds to fixed interest and cash; and
the investment of nearly $600 million of net proceeds from the sale of SBI General into conservative asset classes.
D. INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES
IAG’s interest bearing liabilities stood at $1,526 million at 30 June 2020, compared to $2,080 million at 30 June 2019. The net
movement in the period largely reflects IAG’s redemption of the $550 million RES in December 2019.
E. CAPITAL MIX
IAG measures its capital mix on a net tangible equity basis, i.e. after deduction of goodwill and intangibles, giving it strong
alignment with regulatory and rating agency models. IAG targets the following ranges:
ordinary equity (net of goodwill and intangibles) 60-70%; and
debt and hybrids 30-40%.
At 30 June 2020, debt and hybrids represented 32.2% (2019: 36.5%) of total tangible capitalisation, towards the lower end of IAG’s
targeted debt range. The decrease since the prior year largely reflects the impact of the RES redemption.
Subject to market conditions, IAG may seek to issue a new Tier 2 subordinated instrument next year to provide additional liquidity.
12 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
F. CAPITAL POSITION
Under the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority’s (APRA) Prudential Standards, IAG's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital was
$2,567 million (2019: $3,082 million) and regulatory capital of $4,098 million (2019: $4,981 million) at 30 June 2020. IAG has
set the following related targeted benchmarks:
a CET1 target range of 0.9 to 1.1 times the Prescribed Capital Amount (PCA), compared to a regulatory requirement of a
minimum of 0.6 times; and
a total capital position equivalent to 1.6 to 1.8 times the PCA, compared to a regulatory requirement of a minimum of 1.0
times.
At 30 June 2020, IAG had a CET1 multiple of 1.23 (2019: 1.31) and a PCA multiple of 1.97 (2019: 2.12).
IAG has increased its targeted PCA multiple range from 1.4 to 1.6 times to 1.6 to 1.8 times. This reflects reduced reliance on inter-
company loans from Australian insurance subsidiaries to IAG’s non-operating holding company, as required by APRA following the
licence consolidation completed in 2017.
Further capital management details are set out in Note 3.1 within the financial statements.
STRATEGY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
A. STRATEGY
MAKING CUSTOMERS FEEL SAFER ON THE ROAD, IN THEIR HOMES AND AT WORK
IAG’s purpose means that whether you are a customer, partner, employee, shareholder or part of the communities IAG serves, IAG
exists to ‘make your world a safer place’. IAG believes its purpose will enable it to meet the changing needs of its customers,
become a more sustainable business over the long term and deliver stronger and more consistent returns for its shareholders.
Over the last four years, IAG has focused on three key areas:
Gaining a deeper and better understanding of its customers;
Delivering a simpler more streamlined operating platform; and
Developing an agile, adaptable workforce.
With simplification continuing, IAG has increased its focus on customer engagement and longer-term growth. This includes:
Delivering better insurance experiences to customers through enhanced capabilities in data, digital, analytics and artificial
intelligence, brand and innovation;
Extending its strategic partnerships to offer products and services that are adjacent to its insurance business, enabling IAG to
make its customers and the community feel safer on the road, in their homes and at work; and
Leveraging its assets – including data, customer reach and brands – to launch new businesses that complement these
adjacent products and services.
IAG’s objective is to grow the number of customers in its network of brands.
The progress IAG has made in the delivery of its strategy has positioned it to be well placed to respond to the disrupted and
uncertain operating environment that will be shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, with strong momentum occurring across the
initiatives that underpin its three key strategic priorities:
I. Customer – World-leading customer experiences
Create a delivery platform that transforms customer experiences;
Better connect customers and automate processes, enabling IAG to reach more customers in a timely manner;
Develop an innovation approach which provides the ability to think differently and deliver quickly;
Embed cognitive capabilities and artificial intelligence that anticipate customers’ needs; and
Use data to power decision-making, allowing IAG to better understand its customers.
II. Simplification – Simplified, modular and lower cost operating model
Reduce organisational complexity by consolidating technology platforms, harmonising products, simplifying processes and
systems, and executing the technology strategy;
Leverage operational partners to optimise the operating model and drive scale economies across the value chain; and
Improve allocation and maximise utilisation of the preferred repairer network to reduce average claim size.
III. Agility – An agile organisation distinguished by innovation, speed and execution skills
Create a disciplined approach to IAG’s management and leadership, including building stronger role clarity and introducing
agile ways of working;
Build a talent pipeline based on the skills required to deliver IAG's strategy and help IAG people transition to the future of work;
and
Be recognised as a purpose-led organisation that shapes its internal and external environment.
13
B. BUSINESS RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT
IAG acknowledges that it has to take risk in an informed manner in pursuit of its strategic objectives and to meet customer,
stakeholder, industry and regulatory expectations. IAG articulates the levels, boundaries and nature of risk it is willing to accept,
actively manage or avoid in pursuit of the Group’s strategic objectives.
IAG uses an enterprise-wide approach to risk management and its Risk Management Framework (RMF) is a core part of the
governance structure, which includes internal policies, key management processes and culture. The Group Risk Management
Strategy (RMS) articulates the strategy to manage risks at IAG and describes the key elements of the RMF to implement this
strategy. The RMS is reviewed annually, or more frequently as required, by the Risk Committee before being recommended for
approval by the Board. IAG’s Group Risk function provides regular reports to the Risk Committee on the operation of, and any
changes to, IAG’s Risk Management Framework, the status of material risks, risk and compliance incidents, risk trends and IAG's
risk profile. IAG’s Group Internal Audit function provides reports to the Audit Committee on significant audit findings and other
audit related matters.
Roles and responsibilities of the Board and its standing committees, the Audit Committee, the Risk Committee, the People and
Remuneration Committee and the Nomination Committee, are set out in the Corporate Governance section of the IAG website.
IAG is exposed to multiple risks relating to its businesses and pursuit of its strategic objectives. The risks noted below are not
exhaustive, but outline the material risks faced by the Group as identified in the RMS:
strategic risk – the risk that internal or external factors compromise our ability to execute our strategic objectives or our
strategy;
customer risk – the risk of failing to meet customer expectations leading to lower customer satisfaction, retention rates or new
business opportunities;
insurance risk – includes the risk of loss as a result of:
inadequate or inappropriate underwriting or product pricing;
unforeseen, unknown or unintended liabilities that may eventuate;
inadequate or inappropriate claims management including reserving; and
insurance concentration risk (i.e. by locality, segment factor, or distribution);
reinsurance risk – includes the risk of:
lack of capacity in the reinsurance market;
insufficient or inappropriate reinsurance coverage;
inadequate underwriting and/or pricing of reinsurance exposures retained by IAG’s reinsurance captives;
inadequate or inappropriate reinsurance recovery management;
reinsurance arrangements not legally binding; and
reinsurance concentration;
market risk – the risk of adverse movements in market prices (equities, derivatives, interest rates, foreign exchange, etc) or
inappropriate concentration within the investment funds;
credit risk – the risk arising from a counterparty’s failure to meet its obligations in accordance with the agreed terms. This
includes investment and derivative counterparties, reinsurers and premium debtors;
liquidity risk – arises where liabilities cannot be met as they fall due as a result of insufficient funds and/or illiquid asset
portfolios;
capital risk – the risk that capital is insufficient or not of the best form (the mix of debt, equity and reinsurance is
inappropriate) given the nature, strategies and objectives of the Group;
operational risk – the risk of loss resulting from the actions or behaviours of people, inadequate or failed processes or
systems, or from external events;
regulatory and compliance risk – the risk of legal, regulatory or reputational impacts arising from failure to manage compliance
obligations, or failure to anticipate and prepare for changes in the regulatory environment; and
culture and conduct risk – the risk that employee behaviours are contrary to our Purpose, our Spirit or our Code of Ethics and
Conduct or do not otherwise meet reasonable community expectations.
IAG actively considers the importance of risk management and believes this approach provides the greatest long-term likelihood of
being able to meet the objectives of all stakeholders.
Detail of IAG's overall risk management framework, which is outlined in the RMS, is set out in Note 3.1 within the financial
statements and in the Corporate Governance Statement, which is available at www.iag.com.au/about-us/corporate-governance.
C. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY RISK
Aligned to stakeholder expectations, this report provides a comprehensive overview of IAG's focus on economic, environmental and
social sustainability risks that are identified and managed as part of its enterprise-wide risk management framework. Through risk
profiling and ongoing trend analysis, information on these risks is collected and reported to the Group Leadership Team (GLT) and
Board and used to update IAG's strategy at appropriate intervals. This is supported by IAG's annual materiality process and
engagement with IAG's Safer Communities Steering Committee to identify and develop mitigation approaches to these risks.
IAG’s exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks and opportunities is managed by relevant parts of the
business and supported by IAG's Safer Communities team, a team of shared value and sustainability subject matter experts.
Sustainability performance is formally reported to the Board annually, with ad hoc updates as required.
14 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The Consumer Advisory Board and Ethics Committee include external stakeholders, such as consumer groups, and provide an
important external input into the understanding and management of economic, environmental and social sustainability risk. The
Safer Communities Steering Committee is an internal governance body that supports the Group Executive, People, Performance
and Reputation to shape IAG's response to risks through its approach to shared value, sustainability and broader community
activity. The Safer Communities Steering Committee fulfils the role of a sustainability committee for IAG. It meets at least
quarterly, is chaired by the Group Executive, People, Performance and Reputation, and comprises senior leaders from across the
business, including the Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer.
Each year a materiality assessment is undertaken to help guide IAG's shared value and sustainability approach and ensure its
reporting addresses risks and opportunities with the greatest importance to IAG's stakeholders and business. An extensive
assessment and stakeholder engagement process supports IAG in the finalisation of the material issues, which are signed off by
the Group Executive, People, Performance and Reputation and included in the IAG Annual Review and Safer Communities Report.
IAG has a safer communities business plan that guides decision-making and ensures value is being created for both the community
and IAG. This IAG-wide business plan defines focus areas and outcomes that support IAG's commitment to help communities and
people to be more resilient and increasingly feel they are ready for anything. IAG's sustainability performance is managed within
this business plan and supported by a number of policies and position statements including IAG’s Public Policy Position on Climate
Change, Customer Equity Framework and the Social and Environmental Policy.
IAG is a signatory to several voluntary principles-based frameworks which guide the integration of environmental, social and
governance (ESG) considerations into its business practices. These include the United Nations Environmental Program Finance
Initiative’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance and the Principles for Responsible Investment. IAG is a signatory to the Geneva
Association's Climate Risk Statement and a founding member of the Australian Sustainable Finance Initiative, which is a cross-
industry collaboration established to enable the financial services sector to contribute more systematically to the transition to a
more resilient and sustainable economy, consistent with global goals such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,
the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the Paris Agreement on climate change.
Climate change has been identified as a key enterprise risk and work has been done on implementation and monitoring of
business controls and their effectiveness overseen by the Climate Risks and Opportunities Steering Committee (see Climate Risk
section for more details).
Respect for human rights underpins IAG’s purpose and its conduct as an ethical and responsible business. IAG's approach is
informed by international human rights standards, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the
International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and
Rights at Work.
IAG is addressing Human Rights and Modern Slavery legislative requirements across its business, including in its procurement,
asset management and human resources business units. IAG’s Procurement Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct, which was
launched this year, addresses Human Rights and Modern Slavery, and supports practical management of these important issues
across IAG’s business. IAG’s first Modern Slavery Statement will be published during the 2021 financial year, in line with relevant
regulatory frameworks, and will show progress toward compliance with these recent legislative requirements.
Details of IAG’s material issues, how IAG manages related risks and opportunities and details of other shared value and
sustainability activities can be found in the 2020 Annual Review and Safer Communities Report, which is available at
www.iag.com.au/safer-communities/esg-commitments-and-performance. IAG’s management of economic, environmental and
social sustainability risk is outlined in detail in Principle 7.4 of the Corporate Governance Statement, which is available at
www.iag.com.au/about-us/corporate-governance.
D. CLIMATE RISK
This climate-related disclosure is aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations
and addresses how IAG is managing climate risks and opportunities through governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics
and targets.
It demonstrates:
the work IAG has done to understand which climate risks could have a material impact on its business through both the
physical and transitional risk pathways;
the need for strong governance;
risk management and strategic integration of climate considerations into its core operations; and
the partnerships, activities and programs it is involved in to mitigate climate risks and innovate opportunities.
IAG’s purpose is to make your world a safer place. To deliver this purpose, IAG works to mitigate risks the communities, businesses
and individuals it insures are exposed to. IAG acknowledges its unique ability to help communities prepare for and manage climate
impacts, while realising the business opportunities of a safer world. Consistent with the latest climate science, IAG’s research,
climate scenarios, claims and industry data indicate that climate change will increase the social and financial impacts to
communities in Australia and New Zealand and is a key risk to its insurance business.
15
According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the 2019 calendar year was the hottest and driest on record for Australia, which
included one of the worst bushfire seasons on record, followed by severe hail and flood events. This extreme weather has
contributed to a significant increase in the current financial year's net claim costs from natural perils, compared to the prior
financial year. Such impacts emphasise a greater urgency for businesses, governments and communities to understand and
mitigate the short, medium and long-term causes and impacts of climate change. For IAG, this requires continued integration of
the management of climate-related risks and opportunities into strategic planning to ensure it can remain a sustainable business.
IAG has made important contributions to climate change discussions and supported action for almost two decades. In November
2019, IAG released a joint scientific report with the United States National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), “Severe
Weather in a Changing Climate”, that condensed the latest global scientific knowledge on how weather events will change under
future climate scenarios. This was a landmark report, with IAG sharing detailed information on physical risks, with intent to create
a shared central source of information for the broader insurance industry and scientific community to build on.
Governance
IAG’s Board Charter includes oversight of safer communities, sustainability and climate change, which now includes the activities
outlined below:
approve the IAG Social and Environmental Framework;
receive six-monthly reporting on safer communities and sustainability; and
consider and approve the external reporting on safer communities and sustainability strategies and initiatives (including
climate change), within the Annual Report and the Annual Review.
In accordance with the IAG Board Charter, the Board delegates overall management and profit performance of the Group to the
Chief Executive Officer. The Group Executive, People, Performance and Reputation has accountability for IAG’s Safer Communities
function, including oversight of the Safer Communities Plan, climate change activities and the Climate Action Plan. Accountabilities
for key objectives and programs outlined in the Climate Action Plan are owned by relevant GLT members. Progress against IAG’s
Climate Action Plan is reported to the GLT every six months, and the accountabilities held by relevant members of the Executive
team are listed under the specific Climate Action Plan objectives.
Further details on IAG’s climate change governance are provided in the Climate-related disclosure 2020 which can be found in the
Safer communities section of IAG's website (www.iag.com.au).
Strategy
Integration of climate change within IAG’s corporate strategy
IAG recognises climate change is a key consideration to ensure the sustainable growth of its business. In setting its strategy, IAG
identified climate change as a key trend that directly influences the stability and growth of its businesses. Climate change
continues to be a trend that the organisation monitors and discusses at GLT and Board sessions.
IAG has developed a strong understanding of climate change trends via research on natural perils and climate modelling as well as
through collaboration with other organisations. This knowledge informs understanding and management of the increasing risk of
extreme weather events on the business in the short, medium and long term.
IAG’s plan to manage climate risks and opportunities
IAG is committed to 'make your world a safer place' and its approach to creating safer communities is informed by the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, issues
material to IAG’s business and IAG’s unique resources, capabilities and assets.
IAG’s Safer Communities Plan includes a focus on disaster risk reduction and climate change – enabling communities in Australia
and New Zealand to better prepare for, and respond to, natural perils and climate change. Key objectives to address disaster risk
reduction and climate change are included and disclosed in its Climate Action Plan and Scorecard, which can be found in the Safer
communities section of IAG's website (www.iag.com.au).
The five areas of focus in its Climate Action Plan are:
think big – to ensure IAG leads on climate change issues and builds relationships to achieve its ambitions;
prepare our people – to apply the depth of experience from the business, and build the capacity of IAG’s people to enable
embedding of climate change considerations into its culture;
reduce our emissions – to lead by example and commit to science-based emissions reduction for IAG’s own operations;
invest responsibly – to ensure IAG's investment activities are aligned to our purpose; and
rethink risk – ensuring climate change considerations are integrated into the core of IAG’s insurance business to allow
innovation of products, systems and partnerships to enable customers, business and communities to adapt to a low-carbon
future and changing climate.
Leadership and collaboration for disaster risk reduction and climate change
Mitigating the impacts of climate change to IAG’s business, customers and communities requires a collaborative, multi-stakeholder
approach. To address this, IAG demonstrates leadership in disaster risk reduction and climate change and works with, and
influences other companies, organisations and governments to address climate-related issues. This includes contributing valuable
knowledge, insights and capability towards understanding how climate risks and opportunities impact the sustainability of financial
systems.
16 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Alongside other global insurers, IAG is currently contributing to the United Nations Environmental Program Finance Initiative’s
Principles for Sustainable Insurance TCFD pilot to enable industry benchmarking and standardisation of disclosure, which will
inform IAG’s ongoing approach to strategic integration of climate risks into its core business, risk assessments, scenario analysis
and climate modelling.
IAG also contributes knowledge, insights and capability towards developing sector-wide approaches to the availability and
affordability of insurance products and addressing sustainability issues which are affecting financial systems. IAG plays an active
role as Co-Chair of the Australian Sustainable Finance Initiative (ASFI), which is working to set a roadmap for realigning the finance
sector to support enhanced social, environmental and economic outcomes. IAG also plays a key role in New Zealand’s Sustainable
Finance Forum, an initiative of The Aotearoa Circle, which is a partnership of public and private sector leaders committed to
sustainable prosperity and the conservation of natural resources across the country.
As a founding member of the Australian Business Roundtable for Disaster Resilience and Safer Communities, IAG works
collaboratively with governments to effect change in public policy, increase investment aimed at building safer and more resilient
communities and working to improve the capacity of people and businesses to better withstand future natural disasters. IAG has
also been invited by the governments in Australia and New Zealand to play a role in climate change management, including active
engagement and contribution to the National Resilience Taskforce in Australia. In New Zealand, IAG is working through the Climate
Leaders Coalition to ensure businesses are actively adapting and building resilience to climate impacts. As a key member of the
Insurance Council of Australia, the representative body of the general insurance industry in Australia, IAG plays an active role in the
Council’s Climate Change Action Committee and Data and Knowledge Sub-Committee.
IAG also works in collaboration with communities and partners to build community connection and resilience to climate change that
also support business outcomes. This includes strategic partnerships working with the Australian and New Zealand Red Cross and
the State Emergency Service in New South Wales to improve individual and community disaster preparedness.
Consideration of climate change in underwriting
Further to IAG’s commitment to the cessation of insuring entities predominantly in the business of extracting fossil fuels and power
generation using fossil fuels by 2023, IAG is assessing and considering other ESG aspects of its underwriting processes to drive
behaviour change across its value chain.
IAG’s underwriting approach incorporates ESG considerations and extensions for its insurance products. These are included in the
IAG Group Product Governance Framework which aligns the product development process with IAG’s purpose to 'make your world a
safer place'.
Consideration of climate change in investments
"Invest responsibly" is a focus area in IAG’s Climate Action Plan. It commits IAG to:
shift investments to companies that have a lower exposure to climate-related risks or a have a strategy to manage these risks;
actively support action on climate change and a net zero future; and
measure carbon intensity and include climate-related risks in the ESG risk management of investments.
IAG, and many of the investment managers through which it invests, are signatories to the United Nations Principles for
Responsible Investment that encourages signatories to advocate that companies and countries in which they are investing
integrate ESG factors into their investment processes and practices.
IAG utilises external ESG research and the capabilities of its investment managers to review its climate-related investment
exposures, assess the carbon footprint and exposure to higher risk investments, and to inform portfolio management. Investment
due diligence considers investment managers' capabilities to incorporate ESG issues where appropriate. An outline of IAG’s
approach and current performance is included in the metrics and targets section of this disclosure.
IAG 2030 +2°C climate scenarios supporting strategy and decisions
IAG has developed four plausible scenarios to better understand the most significant likely impacts of climate change and related
physical, transition and litigation risks and opportunities for IAG’s Australian business by 2030. These "2030 +2°C climate
scenarios" utilised IAG’s own climate physical modelling and were developed through a series of cross-functional workshops. These
involved IAG leaders and external stakeholders and focused on determining the most significant political, economic, social,
technological, environmental and legal factors impacted by a +2°C temperature increase by 2030.
Risk
IAG regularly profiles and assesses risks to the successful execution of its enterprise strategy. Climate change is identified as a key
risk in the 2020 Enterprise Risk Profile. IAG's integrated approach to climate risk management is evidenced by its Climate Action
Plan ‘rethink risk’ focus area and the Climate Risks and Opportunities Program.
17
Managing climate risks and opportunities
The Climate Risks and Opportunities Program is a key input into the Safer Communities Steering Committee, and fulfils key
components of the Climate Action Plan to:
better understand the short, medium and long-term risks and opportunities of climate change to IAG;
integrate strategic risks and opportunities resulting from the Climate Risks and Opportunities Program into IAG’s business; and
support investor and market confidence through meaningful climate-related financial disclosure.
The Climate Risks and Opportunities Program was created to ensure the sustainability of IAG’s business in the near and long term
by identifying how to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change. This leverages the understanding and research of the
specific physical, transition and litigation risks IAG is exposed to, and how they will impact IAG’s business.
Further details on IAG’s research into climate-related impacts and associated risks and opportunities are provided in the Climate-
related disclosure 2020 which can be found in the Safer communities section of IAG's website (www.iag.com.au).
Research on physical risks
Since publishing “The Impact of Climate Change on Insurance against Catastrophes” in 2002, IAG emphasised the need to invest in
climate science to understand, mitigate and adapt to the impact climate change will have on severe weather and IAG’s business.
IAG also works collaboratively on research and sharing intellectual property to drive behavioural change across the insurance
industry and its value chain. This helps to gain a strategic advantage in accessing up-to-date knowledge and points of influence.
On 1 November 2019, IAG released “Severe Weather in a Changing Climate”, a scientific report co-authored with NCAR. The report
includes the latest scientific knowledge on how climate change could impact future extreme weather events – like tropical
cyclones, hailstorms, bushfires and rainfall – based on a range of warming global temperature scenarios, as well as insights on
natural peril impacts from IAG's proprietary models. Of key concern is the increased likelihood of tropical cyclones impacting
populated areas of Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Without commensurate risk reduction, this is identified
as having a potential material long-term impact on the availability and affordability of (re)insurance.
Such findings highlight the need for a collaborative approach to scale up resilience and mitigation planning by individuals,
communities, businesses and governments to adapt to the changing physical impacts brought about by climate change, and
adjacent impacts of underinsurance and financial inclusion.
IAG is using this research to continue informing its strategy. The research also helps IAG lead engagement across the insurance
and academic sectors to improve the quality of insights around climate modelling and inform the wider community of the severe
weather challenges that are likely to be exacerbated by climate change.
Examples of how IAG currently manages the impacts of physical risks to its business include:
modelling the potential changes to severe weather and the impact on property risk such as the IAG physical risk scenarios and
the “Severe Weather in a Changing Climate” report;
identifying risk reduction opportunities through changes to the built environment including land planning controls;
a comprehensive, and diverse, range of reinsurance protection (for more information on IAG’s reinsurance program, please
see the “Reinsurance” section of the 2020 IAG Investor Report);
investing in community connection and resilience partnerships that proactively prepare for climate-related risks to reduce the
social and financial costs of disaster recovery; and
influencing land planning and building codes – especially in demonstrating leadership on coastal planning and erosion.
Research on transition risks
IAG commissioned EY and Climate Works Australia to undertake a climate transition impact analysis to understand implications for
its business associated with societal transitioning to climate change. This assessment utilised three scenarios for IAG’s Australian
business and two scenarios for its New Zealand business that were consistent with projections for limiting long-term global
warming, in alignment with the Paris Agreement, by 2030 and 2050. The analysis focused on transition impacts to:
IAG premiums from underwriting commercial risks;
technologies associated with IAG’s home and motor portfolio; and
regional supply chain implications from anticipated regulation of carbon.
The findings have identified that, while there are some risks to smaller portfolios (such as agriculture) in the medium-term, the risk
to supply chain costs through carbon pricing are relatively immaterial with the uplift in costs estimated to be in the range of 0.03-
0.05% by 2030 and 0.00-0.03% by 2050. Additionally, there are also growth opportunities to be considered across expanding
sectors and technologies.
Impact of climate risks and opportunities
IAG’s research on physical and transition climate risks has confirmed that the physical impacts of climate change present the most
material short, medium and long-term risk to IAG’s business. Transition impacts are less material with manageable medium-term
risks and emerging opportunities to IAG’s product, customer and investment portfolios. A preliminary analysis of the climate risks
and opportunities that will impact key areas of IAG’s business value chain, as well as activities IAG will take to address these
impacts, is outlined below.
18 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Reinsurance and capital
Risks from increased severity and frequency of extreme weather events, without risk reduction initiatives, could impact the
cost and availability of global reinsurance capacity.
In a local context, over the short term, changes to events such as hailstorms and bushfires will need to be reflected in
technical pricing assumptions. In the medium term, cyclones are expected to extend southward to more populated parts of
Australia, potentially adversely impacting assets and infrastructure that were not built to withstand such events.
Opportunities include further improvements in modelling and forecasting peril impacts to continue to inform the design of IAG's
capital platform.
As a mitigant to these impacts, IAG will improve quality of insights from climate modelling through engagement across
insurance and academic sectors to inform the wider community of evolving climate change risks.
Product and service pricing
Risks from increased natural peril costs impacting the long-term affordability of insurance, especially in high-risk areas.
Opportunities exist for IAG to reduce risks by advocating for, and providing technical input on, improved building codes, land
planning and risk mitigation for physical infrastructure. This can be achieved by scaling up collaboration with programs that
offset and reduce future risks (such as the Queensland Government’s Housing Resilience Program). This can also be
supported by further innovation around insurance products that incentivise improved resilience to risks, and development of
products such as low carbon home and mobility solutions.
To address these issues, IAG will continue to integrate its technical peril pricing engine into its wider pricing engine algorithm,
while expanding research on key features of resilient and vulnerable properties to support more accurate pricing and target
risk reduction opportunities.
Customer segments and affordability
Risks include the ongoing accessibility and affordability of insurance products which can be impacted if the insurance industry
appropriately adjusts risk-based pricing to account for changes in the severity and frequency of natural perils. Inadequate land
planning and building codes will further exacerbate affordability of insurance. In the medium term, IAG could face a shrinking
market and reputational risk as assets with high exposure to physical risks become more expensive or unaffordable to insure.
Opportunities include greater alignment of land planning and building codes to future severe weather events, which can
reduce climate risks for customers.
IAG will continue to engage customers to understand appropriate and relevant approaches to managing climate-related risk
through existing insurance products and services, in alignment with appropriate customer segment strategies. This includes
further work with stakeholders to enable climate resilient rebuilding to reduce risks for customers exposed to climate-related
perils.
Claims and insurance supply chain
Risks of growing numbers of natural perils related claims was demonstrated by the bushfire, hail and storm events this
financial year. This presents a short-term risk to operational claims handling capacity. In the medium term, supply and
demand imbalances have the potential to impact claims inflation. Underlying supply chain costs could be impacted by limited
availability of raw materials and potential carbon regulation but, as noted above, this is expected to be relatively immaterial.
Opportunities from new products, materials and operating models (such as vertically integrating supply chains) may become
more prevalent and encourage repair or replacement of insured assets to increase risk resilience and environmental
sustainability.
To help to mitigate these risks, IAG is looking to use the transition risk analysis to assess how its motor repair model can
improve supply chain security and is continuing to understand how a climate resilient rebuild claims model supports
reductions in future claims frequency and severity.
Investments
Risks from climate change transitions will have a varied impact on investments, with some assets anticipated to yield
decreasing returns, while others increase.
Opportunities for IAG include influencing and encouraging responsible investment by directing investments to projects aligned
to its purpose and risk appetite.
To address these effects, IAG will look to continue considering the implications of potentially stranded assets, carbon-intensive
industries and evolving opportunities in determining its investment strategy and portfolio allocations.
19
Metrics and Targets
IAG has set targets on managing its climate risks that include reducing emissions from its own operations and reducing climate risk
exposure through its underwriting and investment portfolios.
METRIC
Managing IAG’s
greenhouse gas emissions
with science-based targets
Climate Action Plan:
reduce our emissions
TARGET
Using the 2018 financial year as its baseline, IAG
set science-based absolute emission reduction
targets for its Group Scope 1 and 2 emissions to
meet the Paris Agreement commitments to keep
climate change below 2°C. These absolute
targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions include a
20% reduction by 2020, 43% reduction by 2025,
71% reduction by 2030 and a 95% reduction by
2050. IAG is committed to “reduce its
emissions” as a key focus in IAG’s Climate Action
Plan and Scorecard.
IAG’s underwriting portfolio
Climate Action Plan:
rethink risk
IAG will cease underwriting entities mainly in the
business of extracting fossil fuels and power
generation from fossil fuels by 2023.
IAG’s key parameters for defining this exposure
include:
fossil fuel extraction, including the mining of
any hydrocarbon fuels, where extraction
makes up over 30% of all the entity’s
activities; and
power generation using fossil fuels, where
thermal coal makes up over 30% of the
electricity generated.
PROGRESS
In the current financial year IAG reduced Scope 1
and 2 greenhouse gas emissions to 21,278
tonnes of CO2 equivalent, achieving its current
financial year science-based emission reduction
target.
While a reduction in emissions from operational
energy and transport-related activities can be
attributed to COVID-19 restrictions, IAG’s
activities in consolidation of its property
portfolio, transitioning key offices to activity-
based working, implementation of energy
efficiency activities and the increasing fuel
efficiency of fleet vehicles continued to drive
down Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
In the next financial year IAG sees further
opportunity to reduce its Scope 2 emissions in
Australia through a phased approach to procure
more electricity from renewable energy sources.
As at 30 June 2020, the current GWP written
relating to all fossil fuel mining, and fossil fuel
power generation, is less than $1 million which
equates to less than 0.005% of the total GWP
written by the Group in the current financial year.
Excluding:
small and medium enterprises with turnover
less than $100 million, where the primary
industry classification of the business is not
related to any mining or power generation
but may have greater than 30% of turnover
through engagement in these industries;
and
legacy portfolios in run-off for businesses
that IAG has divested, including accident
and health insurance, surety bonds and
trade credit insurance where the liability for
future claims against some of the policies
will exist until expiry of the policy.
20 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
METRIC
IAG’s investment
portfolio(1)
Climate Action Plan: invest
responsibly
TARGET
As per the IAG Climate Action Plan focus area of
"invest responsibly", IAG is implementing the
following investment activities to shift
investments to reduce exposure to climate-
related risks and support climate action:
continue to implement climate-related risk
management measures through portfolio
management as part of broader ESG risk
management;
continue to invest in reputable green bonds;
leverage investments to support climate-
resilient infrastructure and emission
reduction; and
measure ESG and carbon risk exposures in
the portfolio.
PROGRESS
IAG’s Capital Markets team measures the carbon
intensity of investments of its Australian and
international listed equities. Through a shift in
investments to companies that have a lower
exposure to climate-related risks or a strategy to
manage these risks, IAG has achieved a
reduction in the normalised carbon footprint of
its equity portfolio from 218.7 tonnes of CO2
emissions per million USD invested in 30 June
2017 to 81.0 tonnes of CO2 emissions per
million USD invested as at 30 June 2020.
IAG’s Capital Markets team also monitors IAG’s
investment portfolio exposure to “higher risk
companies” as identified using MSCI’s Low
Carbon Reduction criteria. This identifies
companies with the largest contributions to
climate change as:
largest owners of fossil fuel reserves (more
than 1% of remaining global carbon budget);
those with the largest carbon footprint
(carbon footprint greater than 0.33% of the
annual world carbon emissions); and
those with the highest carbon intensity
(carbon intensity that exceeds 3,000 tonnes
of carbon dioxide per million USD invested).
IAG has reduced its exposure to higher risk
companies through its approach to invest
responsibly, with overall portfolio shift from
0.43% in 30 June 2017 to 0.01% in 30 June
2020.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
IAG believes good governance is essential to delivering its purpose and strategy, including delivering world-leading customer
experiences. At IAG, good governance is the culmination of a number of elements, including ethics, culture, leadership (including
Board and senior management), and policies and procedures (including remuneration and risk management frameworks).
Aiming for the highest standards across all elements of corporate governance enables IAG to focus more effectively on delivering
superior customer outcomes and supporting communities.
During the year, IAG strengthened its approach to governance and culture, responding to the changing regulatory environment. For
the financial year ended 30 June 2020, IAG complied with the Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council
Principles and Recommendations (3rd edition). Details of this compliance are set out in IAG’s 2020 Corporate Governance
Statement and in Appendix 4G. This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 7 August 2020 and has been approved by
the Board. While IAG reported against the 3rd edition, many practices align with the 4th Edition of the Principles and
Recommendations which come into force for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2020. IAG expects to fully comply
with the 4th edition by then.
IAG’s 2020 Corporate Governance Statement is available at www.iag.com.au/about-us/corporate-governance, along with the
policies and procedures that guide all employees’ behaviour.
21
OUTLOOK
There is considerable uncertainty attached to IAG’s financial outlook for the 2021 financial year, stemming from specific ongoing
business impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and from broader economic repercussions.
As a result, IAG has determined not to provide guidance for the 2021 financial year. This decision will be reviewed periodically.

Board has determined not to pay a final dividend for the 2020 financial year.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
During the financial year the following changes became effective:
On 16 December 2019, IAG Finance (New Zealand) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company redeemed all
outstanding reset exchangeable securities at their face value of $550 million.
On 30 March 2020, IAG announced the completion of the disposal of its 26% interest in its joint venture with the State Bank of
India, SBI General Insurance Company Limited, following completion of all the requisite regulatory processes and approvals.
On 8 April 2020, the Chairman announced that IAG Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Peter Harmer, had advised
the Board of his intention to retire by the end of 2020. A flexible nine-month period of transition has been agreed with Mr
Harmer to ensure a smooth changeover. The Board has appointed IAG Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Nicholas Hawkins as
Deputy CEO with accountability for the management and performance of IAG’s day-to-day operations during the transition
period. Peter Harmer will remain responsible for the overall strategic direction and performance of the Group during the
transition period and will directly lead the company’s response to the COVID-19 emergency. Michelle McPherson, CFO
Australia, has been appointed acting Group CFO.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Details of matters subsequent to the end of the financial year are set out below and in Note 7.2 within the financial statements.
These include:
On 24 July 2020, IAG provided an update on its preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2020. This announcement
confirmed that the Group was expecting gross written premium (GWP) growth of around 1%, consistent with the ‘low single
digit’ guidance maintained throughout the 2020 financial year and an insurance margin of approximately 10% (on a
management reported basis), with the shortfall against prior guidance of 12.5-14.5% largely driven by adverse natural perils,
prior period reserving and credit spread factors. These financial statements are consistent with the preliminary financial
results reported.
On 7 August 2020, the Board determined not to pay a final dividend.
In a COVID-19 context, IAG notes the recent developments in Victoria, including the declaration of a State of Disaster with effect
from 2 August 2020, where the related business effects remain highly uncertain.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the financial year, KPMG performed certain other services for IAG in addition to its statutory duties.
The Directors have considered the non-audit services provided during the financial year by KPMG and, in accordance with written
advice provided by resolution of the Audit Committee, are satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services by IAG’s auditor is
compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following
reasons:
all non-audit assignments were approved in accordance with the process set out in the IAG framework for engaging auditors
for non-audit services; and
the non-audit services provided did not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and CPA Australia,
as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for
the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
The level of fees for total non-audit services amounted to approximately $1,632,000 (refer to Note 8.3 for further details of costs
incurred on individual non-audit assignments).
LEAD AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION UNDER SECTION 307C OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT
2001
The lead auditor's independence declaration is set out on page 47 and forms part of the Directors' Report for the year ended 30
June 2020.
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company’s constitution contains an indemnity in favour of every person who is or has been:
a Director of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; or
a Secretary of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company; or
a person making or participating in making decisions that affect the whole or a substantial part of the business of the
Company or of a subsidiary of the Company; or
a person having the capacity to affect significantly the financial standing of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company.
The indemnity applies to liabilities incurred by the person in the relevant capacity (except a liability for legal costs). That indemnity
also applies to legal costs incurred in defending or resisting certain legal proceedings. The indemnity does not apply where the
Company is forbidden by statute or, if given, would be made void by statute.
In addition, the Company has granted deeds of indemnity to certain current and former Directors and Secretaries and members of
senior management of the Company and its subsidiaries and associated companies. Under these deeds, the Company:
indemnifies, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the former or current Directors or Secretaries or members of senior
management against liabilities incurred by the person in the relevant capacity. The indemnity does not apply where the liability
is owed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or associated companies, or (in general terms) where the liability arises out
of a lack of good faith, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, reckless misbehaviour or fraud; and
is also required to maintain and pay the premiums on a contract of insurance covering the current or former Directors or
members of senior management against liabilities incurred in respect of the relevant office except as precluded by law. The
insurance must be maintained until the seventh anniversary after the date when the relevant person ceases to hold office.
Disclosure of the insurance premiums and the nature of liabilities covered by such insurance is prohibited by the relevant
contract of insurance.

REMUNERATION REPORT
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PEOPLE AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Dear Shareholder,
The 2020 financial year has seen unprecedented economic and environmental challenges across Australia and New Zealand:
bushfires of exceptional ferocity, floods and major hailstorms, all followed by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout the year our employees have worked tirelessly to meet these challenges, to serve customers, protect colleagues and
preserve shareholder returns.
Despite these efforts however, shareholder returns for the 2020 financial year have declined materially.
Our current financial year cash earnings result of $279 million is 70% lower than the prior financial year, primarily due to a
combination of higher-than-anticipated natural perils (which had a negative impact on the current financial year cash earnings of
around $195 million), and investment income losses as a result of COVID-19-related financial market volatility (contributing more
than $315 million to our cash earnings shortfall). In addition, the remediation of longstanding risk matters has also had a financial
impact. The 2020 financial year cash earnings result has meant that, in accordance with our 60-80% of cash earnings dividend
policy, there will be no final 2020 financial year dividend for our shareholders.
Remuneration outcomes reflect our business results and risk performance
In response to these results, and considering the current economic circumstances and uncertainty, the Board has decided the
following remuneration outcomes for Executives and employees:
Fixed pay
no increases to the 2021 financial year fixed pay for senior management including Executives.
no increase to the 2021 financial year fees for Directors.
a flat 1% increase for eligible employees below the level of Executive Manager.
Short-term incentives (STI)
no STI payments will be made for the 2020 financial year.
Long-term incentives (LTI)
The 2017/2018 LTI awards with the ROE performance measure reached the end of their three-year performance period on 30
June 2020. Having regard to the Group performance over the period, the Board has determined the award will vest at 82%.
This outcome will be included in detail in next year’s Remuneration Report. The 2016/2017 LTI awards which vested at 100%
on 12 August 2019 are disclosed in detail in this Report.
During the 2020 financial year, the four-year performance period for the relative total shareholder return (TSR) portion of the
2015/2016 LTI award concluded on 30 September 2019. IAG’s TSR was ranked at the 75th percentile of its peer group
resulting in full vesting of this award on 15 October 2019. The TSR component of the 2016/2017 LTI will reach the end of its
performance period on 30 September 2020, and has not yet been finally considered by the Board. The vesting results for this
tranche will be disclosed in next year’s Remuneration Report.
In addition, the Board made a number of downward risk-related adjustments to deferred awards of senior leaders in relation to risk
failures identified and assessed during the year. Adjustments were made in respect of current and former Executives, to a total of
approximately $2.7 million. Several adjustments below the Executive level were also made.
In taking these decisions, the Board has been mindful that returns to shareholders for the 2020 financial year have been well
below what has been achieved in recent years. At the same time, the Board wants to acknowledge the considerable endeavours of
employees across the Group, and to thank them as they have sought to provide high quality, uninterrupted service to our
customers through difficult times and events.
Being guided by our purpose in the 2021 financial year and beyond
COVID-19 continues to have a severe impact on many of our customers and on the community more widely. Many people are
facing difficult circumstances. We will continue to be guided by our purpose as we support our customers and employees in these
challenging times.
Our purpose will also continue to guide the decisions we make, including those that relate to Executive pay. In determining
Executive pay outcomes, we will still assess both financial and non-financial business performance. Our comprehensive risk
assessment process will help ensure we deliver results in a sustainable way for all IAG stakeholders. We will continue to monitor
the alignment of remuneration outcomes with business performance, the economic environment and the experiences of our
stakeholders and we will exercise discretion where required.
24 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
While the timelines for some proposed regulatory changes have been extended due to the impact of COVID-19, IAG continues to
proactively mature its remuneration governance practices. In doing this, we are seeking to ensure our practices continue to
operate effectively and will readily adapt to the future regulatory context of both the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) and APRA
Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration (CPS 511).
As always, we look forward to receiving feedback on any aspect of this report and our remuneration arrangements, and we
appreciate your ongoing support.

Chairman, People and Remuneration Committee

26 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
B. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
I. Remuneration guiding principles
There are six guiding principles that underpin IAG’s approach to remuneration. The following chart illustrates these guiding
principles.
II. Summary of remuneration components
The table below describes the structure and purpose of Executive remuneration components for the year ended 30 June 2020.
TABLE 1 – REMUNERATION COMPONENTS
COMPONENT STRUCTURE
Fixed pay
Fixed pay comprises base salary and superannuation,
determined by reference to the experience and skills an
individual brings to the role, internal relativities between
Executives and market pay levels for similar external roles.
Details relating to fixed pay are presented in Table 2.
PURPOSE
Remunerate Executives for performing their
ongoing work.
Short-term
incentives
(STI)
STI is provided on an annual basis, subject to the achievement of
short-term goals and an assessment of risk management
effectiveness. Half of the STI is delivered in cash and half is
deferred for a period of up to two years, typically in the form of
Deferred Award Rights (DARs).
Details relating to the STI plan are presented in Table 3.
Reward annual performance across a range of
financial and non-financial measures to support
the delivery of the IAG strategy.
Deferral of STI encourages retention of senior
management and reinforces the link between
shareholder value creation and Executive reward.
Long-term
incentives
(LTI)
LTI grants are determined annually by the Board. The grants are
in the form of Executive Performance Rights (EPRs) that have
performance hurdles over a four-year performance period, which
align to IAG’s strategic financial targets.
Details relating to the LTI plan are presented in Table 4.
Create a direct link between Executive reward
and the return experienced by shareholders
through two hurdles:
cash ROE evidences IAG’s return on total
shareholders’ equity. Cash earnings
performance is a key component of the ROE
calculation and directly influences the
dividend paid to shareholders; and
relative TSR reflects the value created for
shareholders through dividends and the
movement in the share price, measured
against the top 50 industrial companies in
the S&P/ASX 100 Index.
27
Remuneration received by Executives is based on IAG’s performance over a number of time periods, as illustrated in the following
graph. The timeframe of potential payments to Executives is staggered progressively from one to four years to encourage decision-
making which supports long-term, sustainable performance.
III. Remuneration mix
The following graph illustrates the mix of remuneration components provided to Executives (based on maximum potential earnings,
as at 30 June 2020).
Each remuneration component is described in more detail below.
IV. Fixed pay
TABLE 2 – FIXED PAY
Overview
Fixed pay is set with reference to the median of the external market for comparable roles, considering
the size and complexity of the role, and the skills and experience of the individual. For Australian-based
Executives, the external market consists of financial services companies in the S&P/ASX 50 Index and
companies that are of similar size to IAG. Local market peer groups are considered for overseas-based
Executives.
Increases to fixed pay are generally only provided when pay is below market levels, or there has been a
material change in the responsibilities of the Executive.
During the 2020 financial year, Julie Batch’s fixed pay increased from $735,000 to $825,000 (following
her appointment as Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer). No other Executives received increases to
fixed pay during the year.
28 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
V. Short-term incentive
The table below summarises key terms of the STI plan and deferred STI.
TABLE 3 – STI AND DEFERRED STI
STI
Overview
STI is the at-risk remuneration component designed to motivate and reward Executives for superior
performance in the financial year.
Compliance gateway
To be eligible for an STI, Executives are required to satisfactorily complete compliance training
courses which are designed to ensure participants know how to protect IAG’s customers and operate
in a fair and transparent manner compliant with appropriate regulations.
Behavioural gateway
To be eligible for an STI, Executives are required to demonstrate appropriate behaviours in the way
they achieve performance outcomes. The Group CEO’s behaviour is assessed by the Board.
Executives’ behaviours are assessed by the Group CEO, who recommends eligibility to the Board.
STI opportunity
For the 2020 performance year, the maximum value of STI that could be granted is set out in Table
6.
Funding
The Board considers the Group’s cash earnings performance when determining overall STI funding
for the year.
In view of the 2020 financial year cash earnings, the Board determined not to make an STI
allocation for the Group CEO and Executives.
Performance measures
Executive performance is measured against the Group Balanced Scorecard and individual goals
using both financial and non-financial measures (for further details, refer to Table 5).
Performance evaluation The PARC reviews the Group CEO’s performance based on the Group Balanced Scorecard outcomes
(as described in Table 5), and the effectiveness of risk management during the year, and then
recommends an STI award for approval by the Board.
The Group CEO reviews the performance of Executives based on the Group Balanced Scorecard
outcomes and achievement against individual goals. The Group CEO then recommends an STI
award for consideration by the PARC, which then recommends an STI award for approval by the
Board.
To ensure incentives provided to the Group CEO and Executives are appropriate, the Board assesses
the risk management performance of IAG (including any prior year events that have come to light in
the current year) prior to determining final incentive outcomes.
For all individuals, the Board may apply discretion in determining the STI outcomes to ensure they
appropriately reflect performance.
Instrument
Half the STI award is delivered in cash in September following the financial year end, and half the STI
award is deferred for a period of up to two years based on continued service. The deferred
component is typically paid in the form of DARs with no dividend entitlement until the rights vest and
are exercised.
DEFERRED STI
Overview of DARs
DARs are rights over the Company’s ordinary shares. DARs are granted at no cost to the Executive and
no dividend is paid for any unvested, or vested and unexercised DARs.
In 2018, the Board made an exception to the dividend policy for holders of DARs that were due to vest
after the record date for final dividends during 2018 and 2019. This exception was made following
IAG’s decision to bring forward the date that annual results are announced to the market. Due to this
change, the record date for final dividends was also brought forward to avoid a delay in distributing
profits to shareholders. Consequently, holders of DARs that vested in September 2018 and some DARs
that vested in September 2019 were no longer entitled to receive the final dividend, as the vesting
dates fell shortly after the new, earlier dividend record dates. In recognition of this adverse
consequence, the Board determined to make a cash payment to employees holding DARs at the
September 2018 and September 2019 vesting dates, equivalent in value to the dividends they would
otherwise have received if the record date had not moved. The payments relating to the September
2019 vesting date are disclosed in this Remuneration Report. No further payments will be made in
relation to this matter.
Number of DARs issued
The number of DARs issued is calculated based on the volume weighted average share price (VWAP) of
the Company's ordinary shares over the 30 days up to and including 30 June before the grant date.
29
Exercise and vesting of
DARs
Executives who participate in the STI plan become eligible to receive one ordinary share of the Company
per DAR by paying an exercise price of $1 per tranche of DARs exercised. Vesting of DARs is subject to
an Executive’s continued employment with IAG at the vesting date or meeting the conditions to retain
unvested DARs upon cessation, as outlined in the ‘Malus and forfeiture conditions’ section below.
Hedging of DARs
Executives may not enter into transactions or arrangements which operate to limit the economic risk of
unvested entitlements to IAG securities.
Malus and forfeiture
conditions
The Board retains the discretion to adjust downwards the unvested portion of any deferred STI awards,
including to zero (refer to Section D for more information on the adjustment framework).
Deferred STI awards will generally be forfeited if the Executive resigns before the vesting date, except in
special circumstances (including redundancy, retirement, death or total and permanent disability).
When an Executive ceases employment in special circumstances, any unvested rights may be retained
on cessation of employment subject to the existing terms and conditions of the award including the
vesting date, subject to Board discretion.
In cases where the Executive acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of his or her obligations to
IAG, the unvested rights will lapse.
VI. Long-term incentive
The table below summarises key terms of the LTI plan.
TABLE 4 – LTI
Overview
LTI opportunity
Instrument
LTI grants are determined annually by the Board. The grants are in the form of EPRs that have
performance hurdles aligned to IAG’s strategic financial targets.
Rights granted during the year will not vest and have no value to the Executive unless the performance
hurdles are achieved.
For the 2020 performance year, the maximum value of LTI that could be granted to the Group CEO and
each Executive is as below:
165% of fixed pay for the Group CEO;
140% of fixed pay for the Deputy CEO and the CEO, Australia;
80% of fixed pay for the CRO;
40% of fixed pay for the Acting CFO; and
125% of fixed pay for all other Executive Team members.
If performance hurdles are achieved over the four-year performance period, rights can be settled with
either the Company's ordinary shares or an equivalent cash payment. The Board may choose to
exercise discretion to settle rights on vesting in cash in circumstances where it is restrictive to settle
rights with shares, including in jurisdictions where legislative requirements prohibit share ownership in
a foreign entity. Where rights are settled in cash, the value of the cash payment is determined based on
the VWAP for the five trading days up to and including the vesting date.
Allocation methodology
The number of rights issued is calculated based on the VWAP over the 30 days up to and including 30
June before the grant date.
Dividend entitlements
No dividend is paid or payable for any unvested, or vested and unexercised, rights.
Performance hurdles
The cash ROE performance hurdle (50% weighting) and relative TSR performance hurdle (50%
weighting) are measured over four years.
30 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Performance hurdle –
cash ROE
Description
Cash ROE is measured relative to IAG’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
For LTI awards granted prior to November 2018, there were six half-year periods
measured. For LTI awards granted from November 2018 onwards, there are eight half-
year periods.
In 2019, a review of the cash ROE hurdle was completed, considering factors such as
IAG’s business strategy, market practice, changes to IAG’s capital base and historic and
projected ROE performance. Following this review, the vesting range was increased from
1.2-1.6 times WACC to 1.4-1.9 times WACC for the November 2019 LTI grant onwards.
The Board can reduce the cash ROE vesting outcomes in order to ensure that reward
outcomes appropriately reflect performance.
For awards vesting from 30 June 2020 onwards, the Board will consider the impact of
changes in the cost of capital over the performance period. In the event that there have
been material changes in the cost of capital, the Board can consider the extent to which
this may have influenced vesting outcomes to ensure that reward outcomes
appropriately reflect performance.
ROE is calculated as cash earnings divided by the average total shareholders' equity.
Cash earnings is defined as net profit after tax attributable to owners of the Company
plus amortisation and impairment of acquired identifiable intangible assets and adjusted
for unusual items after tax (non-recurring in nature). In determining vesting outcomes,
the Board considers the overall quality of earnings over the performance period,
including differences between the statutory profit and cash earnings, and movements in
the cost of capital.
Cash ROE is calculated by dividing the cash earnings of IAG by the average total
shareholders' equity for a given period. This cash ROE figure is then expressed as a
multiple of IAG’s WACC. The cash ROE vesting outcome is based on the average cash
ROE across the performance period (the six or eight half-year periods) divided by the
average WACC over the same timeframe.
0% vesting for cash ROE less than 1.4 times WACC
20% vesting for cash ROE at 1.4 times WACC
100% vesting for cash ROE at or above 1.9 times WACC
Straight-line vesting between 1.4 times WACC and 1.9 times WACC
Relative TSR is measured against the top 50 industrial companies within the S&P/ASX
100 Index. Industrial companies are defined by Standard & Poor’s as being all
companies excluding those in the Energy sector (GICS Tier 1) and the Metals & Mining
industry (GICS Tier 3).
Companies which are no longer part of the index at the end of the performance period
(e.g. due to acquisition or delisting) may be removed from the peer group.

Performance hurdle –
relative TSR
Description
Definition
TSR measures the return a shareholder would obtain from holding a company’s share
over a period, taking into account factors such as changes in the market value of shares
and dividends paid over that period. The relative measure compares IAG’s TSR against
that of companies in the peer group.
Testing
Relative TSR performance for allocations made prior to November 2018 is measured
between 30 September of the base year and 30 September of the test year.
Relative TSR performance for allocations made from November 2018 onwards is
measured between 30 June of the base year and 30 June of the test year.
The opening and closing share price for the TSR calculation for IAG and peer group
companies uses a three-month VWAP.
Vesting (for
grants
November
2019
onwards)
0% vesting for relative TSR less than the 50th percentile of the peer group
50% vesting for relative TSR at the 50th percentile of the peer group
100% vesting for relative TSR at or above the 75th percentile of the peer group
Straight-line vesting between the 50th and 75th percentile of the peer group
31
Retesting
There are no opportunities to retest these performance hurdles.
Hedging of EPRs
Executives may not enter into transactions or arrangements which operate to limit the economic risk of
unvested entitlements to IAG securities.
Malus and forfeiture
conditions
The Board retains the discretion to adjust downwards the unvested portion of any LTI awards, including
to zero (refer to Section D for more information on the adjustment framework).
Unvested rights will generally lapse if an Executive resigns before the performance hurdles are tested,
except in special circumstances. When an Executive ceases employment in special circumstances, any
unvested rights may be retained on cessation of employment up to the point they vest, subject to Board
discretion. Special circumstances include: redundancy, retirement, death or total and permanent
disability. Any rights retained under these circumstances will remain subject to the original
performance conditions.
In cases where the Executive acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of his or her obligations to
IAG, the unvested rights will lapse.
C. LINKING IAG'S PERFORMANCE AND REWARD
I. Linking IAG's short-term performance and short-term reward
IAG has three broad strategic priorities: ‘customer’, ‘simplification’ and ‘agility’. The focus of each strategic priority is summarised
on page 13 of the annual report.
The tables below summarise IAG’s Group Balanced Scorecard objectives and outcomes for the year ended 30 June 2020. The
objectives were agreed with the Board at the beginning of the financial year and were designed to focus Executives on delivering
superior performance outcomes against the strategic priorities. Each Executive’s performance is assessed based on their
contribution to the objectives outlined below, as well as their individual performance.

MEASURE AND OUTCOME
RATIONALE
Not met
IAG uses underlying profit as the
key profitability measure, as it
presents a holistic view of the
absolute earnings power of IAG’s
core insurance-related business. It
provides a view of the underlying
profitability of the underwriting, fee-
based and associate businesses
and is an important measure of
how IAG generates value for
shareholders.
The Group’s underlying profit was
slightly below the expectations set
at the commencement of the
financial year.
The outcome was largely driven by
the decline in the underlying
insurance margin, particularly
during the second half of the
financial year. This reflected the
combined impact of lower
investment returns, higher
reinsurance costs (associated with
the unusually high level of natural
perils activity) and deterioration in
the performance of some
Australian commercial long-tail
portfolios.
Controllable

IAG’s continued focus on
optimisation of its operating model
and related cost-out initiatives
improves the efficiency with which
IAG deploys its resources.
Not met
The Group’s controllable operating
cost base for the 2020 financial
year was slightly above target.
COVID-19 had a broadly neutral
overall impact on this measure.
During the first half of the financial
year, the Group delivered against
the controllable operating expense
target under its optimisation
program.
However, the headline metric for
the 2020 financial year was
impacted by the incurrence of
incremental costs associated with
IAG’s COVID-19 response including
those related to the recently
announced retail branch closures
in New Zealand.

adjusts the equivalent reported
measure for portfolio divestments
and foreign currency effects.
If this result was adjusted for the
estimated adverse impact on new
business volumes associated with
the onset of COVID-19 it would
increase to approximately 2.5%,
which would still be below target.
IAG continued to deliver customer
advocacy above the level of
competitors during the 2020
financial year due to strong brands
and continued embedment of its
customer advocacy programs.

IAG’s strategy is designed to 'put
the customer at the centre of

this essential to driving the ability
to grow profitably over the longer
term. IAG is focused on designing
compelling product and service
offerings by developing a deeper
understanding of customers’ needs
and the changing environment,
allowing delivery of world-leading
customer experiences, including
through digital channels. IAG uses
Customer Net Promoter Scores to
measure the impact of these
initiatives for its customers.
Met
IAG sets a Customer Net Promoter
Score (NPS) target relative to its
peers. IAG’s NPS for the 2020

Employee Net Promoter Score
(eNPS) to measure its
effectiveness in fostering a strong
organisational culture.

Although retention rate was
maintained, IAG did not meet the
personal customer growth target,
which was based on system
growth.
Not met
IAG’s commercial customer growth
was -3.3%, not meeting the target
of between -2.2% to -1.7%.
While the commercial growth
target recognised IAG’s need for
continued focus on improving the
underwriting quality of the
commercial book, the target was

Met
IAG measures employee advocacy
using an eNPS. The target was an
eNPS score between +31 and +33,
and the result was +50.
IAG’s employees recommend IAG
as a place to work because of
supportive leadership, approach to
workplace flexibility, employee
benefits, work life balance and a
positive work environment.
The COVID-19 response resulted in
an increase in eNPS as employees’
advocacy for IAG as a place to work
was supplemented by support for
the way IAG purposely responded
to the pandemic.

Agility

(10%)
RATIONALE
MEASURE AND OUTCOME
COMMENT
A constructive and agile culture
enables IAG to provide great
experiences for its employees and
customers. IAG tracks three agility
indicators to measure progress
towards creating an agile
organisation. These are leadership
effectiveness, connectedness and
decision-making effectiveness.
Met
IAG’s performance improved from
the 2019 financial year for all
three agility indicators of
leadership effectiveness,
connectedness, and decision-
making. Each exceeded the target
range.
Met
IAG has continued to build on its
risk maturity.
Management of risk is integral to
IAG delivering on its strategy, to
meeting short-term objectives and
achieving long-term sustainability.
IAG conducts a formal assessment
of risk management maturity and
risk culture which is reviewed and
approved by the Board and Risk
Committee on a quarterly basis.
Due to the importance of risk
management to IAG, it is included
as an explicit measure on the
scorecard.
IAG’s agility indicator scores
improved from the 2019 financial
year. These indicators help IAG
understand how our employees
experience leadership and
decision-making, and the degree of
connection employees feel to the
organisation.
This improvement from 2019
reflects an ongoing leadership
focus on culture as evidenced
during IAG’s response to COVID-19.
IAG’s risk maturity met the target
for the current financial year. The
Risk Maturity Model will be further
strengthened in the 2021 financial
year to incorporate additional risk
classes including insurance and
reinsurance risk.

The proportion of STI foregone is derived by subtracting the actual percentage of maximum received from 100% and was 100% on average for the year ended 30 June
2020 (compared to 40% in 2019).
The average STI for all Executives was 0% of the maximum STI opportunity.

III. Linking IAG's long-term performance and long-term reward
Details of LTI vested during the year are set out below:
Cash ROE – 100% vesting for the 2016/2017 LTI awards
The Board has determined that, for the performance period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020, the average reported cash ROE of
1.51 times WACC will apply. This will equate to an 82% vesting outcome, which will be reflected in next year's Remuneration
Report. For the performance period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2019, the average reported cash ROE was 1.91 times WACC. In
determining the final vesting outcome for this award, the Board considered the overall quality of earnings, including the differences
between the statutory profit and cash earnings. Following this review, the Board determined that the award would vest in full.
The following graph illustrates IAG’s cash ROE/WACC performance over the past three years.
Relative TSR – 100% vesting
On 30 September 2019, the relative TSR portion of the 2015/2016 LTI award was tested. IAG’s TSR was ranked at the 75th
percentile of the peer group, resulting in a 100% vesting outcome.
The following graph illustrates IAG’s relative TSR, on an annualised basis, against the top 50 industrial companies in the S&P/ASX
100 Index for the 2015/2016 LTI award:

This includes the 10.00 cents (per ordinary share) 2016 special dividend.
Outcomes reflect IAG’s average cash ROE to WACC prior to the Board considering the impact of the software impairments announced to the market on 19 August 2016.
The impact of the software impairments was to reduce average cash ROE to WACC by 0.09 times in the three years to 30 June 2016, 0.08 times in the three years to 30
June 2017 and 0.09 times in the three years to 30 June 2018.
This includes the 5.50 cents (per ordinary share) 2019 special dividend paid as part of the capital management initiative announced in August 2018.
Outcomes reflect IAG’s average cash ROE to WACC prior to the Board considering the impact of the write-down of Asian asset carrying values reported in the 2018
financial year. The impact of the write-down of Asian asset carrying values would have been to reduce average cash ROE to WACC by 0.03 times in the three years to 30
June 2018, and by the same amount in the three years to 30 June 2019 and in the three years to 30 June 2020.
Outcomes reflect IAG’s average cash ROE to WACC prior to the Board considering the impact of the net gain on sale of the Thailand business in the 2019 financial year.
The impact of the net gain on sale of the Thailand business would have been to increase average cash ROE to WACC by 0.13 times in the three years to 30 June 2019,
and 0.14 times in the three years to 30 June 2020.
Outcomes reflect IAG’s average cash ROE to WACC prior to the Board considering the impact of the net gain on sale of the India business and the recognition of the
customer refund provisions in the 2020 financial year. The impact of the net gain on sale of SBI General would have been to increase average cash ROE to WACC by
0.23 times in the three years to 30 June 2020, while the impact of the customer refund provisions would have been to reduce the average cash ROE to WACC by 0.10
times in the three years to 30 June 2020.

V. Group CEO remuneration
Below are further details on drivers of the actual remuneration received by the Group CEO that are outlined in Table 8. The
components of remuneration mix are shown with commentary on how performance has translated into remuneration outcomes.
D. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
I. IAG's approach to remuneration governance
IAG governs remuneration through the Board and the PARC as illustrated in the following graphic.
37
II. Use of remuneration consultants
During the year, no remuneration consultants were engaged, and no recommendations, as defined by the Corporations Act 2001,
were provided by remuneration consultants.
III. Adjustment framework
Variable pay reinforces behaviours aligned to IAG’s purpose, encouraging both prudent risk-taking and risk mitigation that protects
the long-term financial soundness and reputation of the Group. The Board retains overriding discretion to adjust variable pay
(upwards, downwards and to zero) including:
where a person or group of persons has been found to have engaged in misconduct or exposed IAG to risk beyond its risk
appetite or controls;
where it is necessary to protect the Group’s long-term financial soundness;
to take into account the outcomes of business activities;
where it is required by law or APRA Prudential Standards; or
any other circumstances the Board determines are relevant.
Each year, the PARC makes a recommendation to the Board on whether to adjust variable pay for Executives based on risk
management performance. Adjustments may be applied to variable pay awards for current and/or prior years using one or both of
the following mechanisms:
in-year STI adjustment; and
adjustment of awarded but unvested variable pay (malus).
The PARC’s recommendations are informed by the identification and assessment of material financial and non-financial risks
across the Group by the Risk Committee. The Risk Committee uses a range of inputs to support its assessment of risk
management performance, including:
a report by the Chief Risk Officer;
a report by the Executive General Manager, Group Internal Audit; and
the Group CEO’s insights and recommendations.
The Board determined to make a number of downward risk-related adjustments (malus adjustments) to deferred awards of senior
leaders in relation to risk failures identified and assessed during the year. Malus adjustments were made to current and former
Executives as well as some senior managers below Key Management Personnel.
IV. Mandatory shareholding requirement for Executives
Table 9 outlines the mandatory shareholding requirements for Executives.
TABLE 9 – MANDATORY SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENT
Group CEO
Executives (other than the Chief Risk Officer)

ORDINARY SHARES TO ACCUMULATE
AND HOLD
2 x base salary
1 x base salary
1 x base salary
PERIOD TO ACCUMULATE
(from date of appointment)
Four years
Four years
Five years
The mandatory shareholding requirement for Executives is based on either the value of shares at acquisition or the market value at
the testing date, whichever is higher. This allows Executives to build a long-term shareholding in IAG without being impacted by
short-term share price volatility. Compliance with this requirement is assessed at the end of each financial year, using the 30-day
volume-weighted average share price leading up to and including 30 June, the value of shares at acquisition, and the Executive’s
base salary from the start of the accumulation period.
All Executives appointed prior to 30 June 2016 met the mandatory shareholding requirement at 30 June 2020.
E. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
I. Remuneration policy
The principles that underpin IAG’s approach to remuneration for Non-Executive Directors are that remuneration should:
be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain a high calibre of Non-Executive Director; and
create alignment between the interests of Non-Executive Directors and shareholders through the mandatory shareholding
requirement.
II. Mandatory shareholding requirement for Non-Executive Directors
Non-Executive Directors are required to accumulate and hold ordinary shares of the Company with a value equal to their annual
Board fee. The Non-Executive Directors have three years from the date of their appointment to the Board to meet their required
holding.
The mandatory shareholding requirement for Non-Executive Directors is based on either the value of shares at acquisition or the
market value at the testing date, whichever is higher. This allows Non-Executive Directors to build a long-term shareholding in IAG
without being impacted by short-term share price volatility. Compliance with this requirement is assessed at the end of each
financial year, using the 30-day volume-weighted average share price leading up to and including 30 June and the value of shares
at acquisition.
All Non-Executive Directors appointed prior to 30 June 2017 met the mandatory shareholding requirement at 30 June 2020.
38 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
III. Remuneration structure
Non-Executive Director remuneration comprises:
Board fees (paid as cash, superannuation and Non-Executive Director Award Rights);
Committee fees; and
subsidiary board fees.
The aggregate limit of Board fees (as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in October 2013) is $3,500,000 per
annum.
Directors can elect the portion of fees contributed into their nominated superannuation fund, provided minimum legislated
contribution levels are met.
a. CHANGES TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION DURING THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
In the year ended 30 June 2020, there were no changes to Board and Committee fees for the Insurance Australia Group Limited
Board. There have been no changes to Board or Committee fees since the year ended 30 June 2017.
b. INSURANCE AUSTRALIA GROUP LIMITED BOARD FEES

39
d. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AWARD RIGHTS PLAN (NARS PLAN)
Non-Executive Directors may elect to receive some or all fees in rights over IAG shares. Structuring Non-Executive Director fees in
this manner supports Non-Executive Directors build their shareholdings in IAG, which enhances the alignment of interests between
Non-Executive Directors and shareholders as well as facilitating the achievement of mandatory shareholding requirements.
TABLE 12 – NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AWARD RIGHTS PLAN (NARS PLAN)
Participation
Each Non-Executive Director may agree with IAG to have a proportion of their base Board fee
provided as NARs. Participation in the NARs Plan is voluntary.
Performance measures
There are no performance conditions attached to the NARs Plan, which reflects good governance
practices by ensuring that the structure of Non-Executive Director remuneration does not act to bias
decision-making or compromise objectivity.
A service condition is attached to the vesting of the NARs. The full annual allocation of unvested
NARs is issued at the grant date, with tranches vesting each month to align the vesting of NARs with
the payment of Non-Executive Director fees. As the grant date for NARs is part way through a
financial year, a proportion of the NARs granted is immediately vested.
Instrument
Grants under the NARs Plan are in the form of rights over the Company's ordinary shares. Each NAR
entitles the Non-Executive Director to acquire one ordinary share in IAG subject to satisfaction of a
service condition.
Allocation methodology
The number of NARs offered is determined by dividing the amount of base fee nominated by the five-
day VWAP up to and including the grant date, rounded to the nearest NAR.
Voting rights
Exercise price
Expiry date
Non-Executive Directors have no voting rights until the NARs are exercised and the Non-Executive
Director holds shares in IAG.
As NARs are purchased by Non-Executive Directors via fee sacrifice arrangements at grant, Non-
Executive Directors do not have to pay any amount to exercise NARs.
NARs expire on the date that is 15 years from the grant date, or any other date determined by the
Board (Expiry Date). NARs that are not exercised before the Expiry Date will lapse.
Hedging of NARs
Non-Executive Directors may not enter into transactions or arrangements which operate to limit the
economic risk of unvested entitlements to IAG securities.
Forfeiture conditions
In the event a Non-Executive Director ceases service with the Board, any vested NARs may be
exercised for shares in IAG in the subsequent trading window. Any unvested NARs will lapse. Under
certain circumstances (e.g. change of control), the Board also has sole and absolute discretion to
deal with the NARs, including waiving any applicable vesting conditions and/or exercise conditions by
giving notice or allowing a Non-Executive Director affected by the relevant event to transfer their
NARs.

Base salary includes amounts paid in cash plus the portion of IAG’s superannuation contribution that is paid as cash instead of being paid into superannuation, and salary
sacrifice items such as cars and parking, as determined in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits. Julie Batch received a fixed pay increase during the 2020
financial year.
Cash STI earned within the year ended 30 June and to be paid in the following September (representing 50% of the award made for the financial year).
This column includes annual and mid-service leave accruals, 30% tax rebate on car allowances for certain KMPs who have salary sacrifice arrangements on cars, the ex-
gratia payment for DARs affected by the change in record date, and other short-term employment benefits as agreed and provided under specific conditions. Other
benefits provided to Craig Olsen include salary continuance insurance.
Superannuation represents the employer’s contributions.
Long service leave accruals as determined in accordance with AASB 119.
Payment in lieu of notice which incorporates statutory notice and severance entitlements.
The deferred STI is granted as DARs and is valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. An allocated portion of unvested DARs is included in the total remuneration
disclosure above. The deferred STI for the year ended 30 June 2020 will be granted in the next financial year, so no value was included in the current financial year’s total
remuneration.
This value represents the allocated portion of unvested EPRs (unvested LTI). To determine the value of EPRs, a Monte Carlo simulation (for the relative TSR performance
hurdle) and Black-Scholes valuation (for the cash ROE performance hurdle) have been applied. The valuations takes into account the exercise price of the EPRs, life of the
EPRs, price of ordinary shares of the Company as at the grant date, expected volatility of the Company's share price, expected dividends, risk free interest rate,
performance of shares in the peer group of companies, early exercise and non-transferability and turnover which is assumed to be zero for an individual's remuneration
calculation.
At-risk remuneration is dependent on a combination of the financial performance of IAG, the Executives' performance against individual measures (financial and non-
financial) and continuing employment. At-risk remuneration typically includes STI (cash and deferred remuneration) and LTI.
Julie Batch was appointed to the role of Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer on 24 February 2020. Prior to this appointment she was Chief Customer Officer. Ms Batch's
remuneration is shown for the full financial year.

previous employer. The portion that relates to service in the current year is shown above.
(13) Remuneration for Craig Olsen was determined in New Zealand dollars and reported in Australian dollars using the average exchange rate for the year ended 30 June 2020
which was 1 NZD = 0.94825 AUD.

Details are provided below of contractual elements for the Group CEO and Executives.
TABLE 15 – EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Employing entity
Term
Group CEO and Australian Executives
Insurance Australia Group Services Pty Limited
Chief Executive, New Zealand
IAG New Zealand Limited
Unlimited term – may be terminated by written notice from either party or by IAG making a payment
in lieu of notice.
Annual remuneration review Requires an annual review of remuneration. Does not require IAG to increase fixed pay, pay STI or
offer an LTI in any given year.
Termination of employment
with notice or payment in
lieu of notice
The employment of an Executive may be terminated at any time with 12 months' notice or payment
in lieu of notice. Payment in lieu of notice will be calculated based on fixed pay.
If an Executive terminates voluntarily, they are required to provide six months' notice.
Subject to the relevant legislation in the various jurisdictions, termination provisions may include the
payment of annual leave and/or long service leave for the Executives.
Termination of employment
without notice and without
payment in lieu of notice
The employment of an Executive may be terminated without notice and without payment in lieu of
notice in some circumstances. Generally, this would occur where the Executive:
is charged with a criminal offence that could bring the organisation into disrepute;
is declared bankrupt;
breaches a provision of their employment agreement;
is guilty of serious and wilful misconduct; or
unreasonably fails to comply with any material and lawful direction given by the relevant
company.
Redundancy arrangements During the year, the Board reviewed redundancy
arrangements for Executives in light of
developments in the regulatory environment,
market trends, and shareholder and community
expectations. The Board determined to limit
redundancy payments for Executives to 12
months’ fixed pay. Grandfathering arrangements
apply for Nicholas Hawkins and Julie Batch, who
had their existing redundancy entitlements of 66
weeks and 54 weeks of fixed pay respectively
preserved.
The Chief Executive, New Zealand Craig Olsen is
employed by a New Zealand entity and is not
subject to the Australian redundancy policy.
Under his employment agreement in the event of
redundancy, Craig Olsen is entitled to a 12-month
notice period, or payment in lieu of notice, subject
to any adjustments that may be required to
ensure compliance with the termination benefits
provisions in the Corporations Act 2001.
No KMP contracts were terminated during the reporting period.
Peter Harmer advised the Board of his intention to retire at the end of the 2020 calendar year. On retirement, Mr Harmer will
retain all of his unvested share rights and any deferred STI. Those rights and deferred STI will continue to vest per the standard
Board-approved schedule and remain subject to any future risk adjustments.

Opening number of rights on issue represents the balance as at the date of appointment as KMP or 1 July 2019.
The value of the DARs granted during the year is the fair value at grant date calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the DARs granted on 12
November 2019 and 17 April 2020 was $7.48 and $6.09 respectively. This amount is allocated to remuneration over years ending 30 June 2020 to 30 June 2022.
The value of the cash ROE portion of the EPRs granted on 12 November 2019 and 17 April 2020 is the fair value at grant date, calculated using the Black-Scholes
valuation model, which was $6.80 and $5.45 respectively. The cash ROE portion of the EPR grants is first exercisable after the performance period concludes on 30
June 2023. The value of the relative TSR portion of the EPRs granted on 12 November 2019 and 17 April 2020 is the fair value at grant date, calculated using the
Monte Carlo simulation, which was $3.45 and $2.29 respectively. The relative TSR portion of the EPRs is first exercisable on 30 June 2023. The amount is allocated to
remuneration over the years ending 30 June 2020 to 30 June 2023. The value of the NARs granted during the year is the fair value at grant date calculated using the
Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the annual NARs granted on 15 September 2019 was $7.85. This amount was allocated to remuneration over the year
ended 30 June 2020.
Rights vested and exercised during the financial year. The value of the rights exercised is based on the annual VWAP for the year ended 30 June 2020, which was
$7.19.
Craig Olsen was incorrectly not awarded a full allocation of EPRs in the current year. These EPRs will be awarded next year under the same terms and conditions as the
2020 financial year EPRs. Table 13 reflects the accounting value of the intended 2020 financial year allocation of 126,900 EPRs.
Christine Stasi received 51,000 DARs in April 2020 as compensation for incentives forgone on leaving her previous employer.

54 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
NOTE 1.2 ABOUT THIS REPORT
A. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Insurance Australia Group Limited (Company or Parent), the ultimate parent entity in the Group, is a for-profit company,
incorporated and domiciled in Australia and limited by shares publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Its
registered office and principal place of business is Level 13, Tower Two, Darling Park, 201 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW 2000,
Australia. This financial report covers the consolidated financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries (IAG or Group) for
the year ended 30 June 2020.
A description of the nature of IAG's operations and its principal activities is included in the Directors' Report.
B. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
This general purpose financial report was authorised by the Board of Directors for issue on 7 August 2020 and complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the Corporations
Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), other
authoritative pronouncements of the AASB and the ASX Listing Rules.
The current IFRS standard for insurance contracts does not include a comprehensive set of recognition and measurement criteria.
The IASB has issued a new standard (IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts – adopted as AASB 17 Insurance Contracts in an Australian
context) that does include such criteria, with the current effective date of 1 January 2021. However since issuing the standard, the
IASB has agreed to delay the effective date to 1 January 2023. This amendment, along with a number of others, has been included
in the final amendments to the standard which were issued on 25 June 2020, with a final standard published on 10 July 2020.
Until this standard takes effect, the financial reports of insurers in different countries that comply with IFRS may not be comparable
in terms of the recognition and measurement of insurance contracts.
C. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost principles, as modified by certain exceptions noted in
the financial report, with the principal exceptions being the measurement of all investments and derivatives at fair value and the
measurement of the outstanding claims liability and related reinsurance and other recoveries at present value. All values are
rounded to the nearest million dollars, unless otherwise stated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191.
The balance sheet is prepared with the assets and liabilities presented broadly in order of liquidity. The assets and liabilities
comprise both current amounts (expected to be recovered or settled within 12 months after the reporting date) and non-current
amounts (expected to be recovered or settled more than 12 months after the reporting date).
I. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June
2020. A list of significant controlled entities is set out in Note 6.3. IAG controls an investee if it has (i) power over the investee; (ii)
exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee
to affect the amount of those returns. Where an entity either began or ceased to be controlled during a financial year, the results
are included from the date control commenced or up to the date control ceased. The financial information of all subsidiaries is
prepared for consolidation for the same reporting year as the Parent. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-
company balances and transactions, including income, expenses, and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions,
have been eliminated.
Where a subsidiary is less than wholly-owned, the equity interests held by external parties are presented separately as non-
controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheet, except when presented as a liability where the subsidiary is a trust or
similar entity. A change in ownership of a controlled entity that results in no gain or loss of control is accounted for as an equity
transaction.
II. Presentation and foreign currency
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. Foreign currency
transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at reporting date are translated to Australian dollars using reporting date
exchange rates. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars using reporting date exchange rates while equity
items are translated using historical rates. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated cash flow
statement are translated using annual average rates for the reporting year. Exchange rate differences arising on translation are
recorded directly in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR). On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative
amount of exchange differences deferred in the FCTR relating to that foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.
III. Reclassification of comparatives
Certain items have been reclassified from IAG's prior year financial report to conform to the current year’s presentation basis. The
reclassifications are:
reclassification of other trusts in the investment composition (refer to Note 2.3 for further details); and
reclassification of employee benefits provision (refer to Note 5.3 for further details).
55
D. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report have been applied consistently by all entities in IAG and
are the same as those applied for the previous reporting year, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements of entities
operating outside Australia that maintain accounting records in accordance with overseas accounting principles are adjusted where
necessary to comply with the significant accounting policies of IAG. The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation
of this financial report are set out within the relevant note.
I. Changes in accounting policies
There were new Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable for the current reporting year, with no material
financial impact to IAG on adoption. Refer to Note 8.5 for further details.
II. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the process of applying the significant accounting policies, certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions are applied
and judgements are made by management, the results of which affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The
estimates and related assumptions are based on experience and other factors that are considered to be reasonable, and are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which they are revised, and future
periods if relevant. Details of the material estimates and judgements are set out within the relevant note, as outlined below:
AREAS OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Claims and reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims
Liability adequacy test
Intangible assets and goodwill impairment testing, initial measurement and useful life
Income tax and related assets and liabilities
Customer refund provision
Investment in joint venture and associates impairment testing

Note 6.5
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these financial statements. The
Group has developed various accounting estimates in these financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which
reflect expectations and assumptions as at 30 June 2020 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in the
circumstances. There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these forecasts. The underlying assumptions
are also subject to uncertainties which are often outside the control of the Group. Accordingly, actual economic conditions may be
different from those forecast since anticipated events may not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may
significantly impact accounting estimates included in these financial statements.
The significant accounting estimates particularly impacted by these associated uncertainties are predominantly related to the
valuation of the outstanding claims liability, recoverable amount assessments of non-financial assets, fair value measurement of
investments and expected credit losses for both non-insurance and insurance-related receivables.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of these accounting estimates is discussed further below. Readers should carefully
consider these disclosures in light of the inherent uncertainty described above.
Outstanding claims liability
IAG’s insurance portfolio has experienced several impacts as a result of COVID-19. There is a risk that the associated economic
factors could be more severe than estimated and, as a result, the development of the claims over time could result in the ultimate
cost of those claims being higher than the current outstanding claims liability established. The impact of COVID-19 on claims
experience is expected to materially differ between classes of business and, for certain classes, potentially impact across more
than one accident year. The motor portfolio has been impacted through favourable claim frequency as a result of mobility
restrictions introduced in March 2020 to slow the spread of COVID-19. In respect of other classes of business, where the effect of
COVID-19 on insurance liabilities is quantifiable and reflected in the data, the impact has been appropriately captured within the
outstanding claims liability.
Where potential COVID-19 claim impacts remain highly uncertain, IAG has recognised an additional net outstanding claims
provision of $106 million in relation to its Australian business. This provision has been estimated on a probability-weighted basis
and spans potential business interruption, landlords’ and other insurance class effects, including the estimated impact of an
economic downturn on the future cost of settling long tail claims. The key consideration in respect of business interruption
coverage is the legal challenge in relation to the interpretation of select contract wordings. Two issues have been identified by the
Australian general insurance industry. The first relates to policy wordings that reference the Quarantine Act. The second relates to
the application of prevention of access extensions in the context of a pandemic. These are industry-wide matters that are expected
to be assessed through legal test cases over the coming months. Notwithstanding the view held by IAG and the general insurance
industry, the litigation process can lead to unpredictable results.
In establishing the COVID-19 specific element of the net outstanding claims liability, significant judgement has been exercised to
derive an estimate of the probability-weighted view of potential future cash flows. Key areas of judgement relate to the exposure
period, the estimation of potential economic loss, related key macroeconomic variables, reinsurance coverage and legal risk. Given
the extent of the uncertainty being faced, the range of potential financial outcomes in relation to these matters is unusually wide.
As a result, a substantial part of the provision reflects a risk margin. Refer to Note 2.2 for further details on the net outstanding
claims liability.
56 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
In addition to the element reflected in the net outstanding claims provision, any COVID-19 underwriting exposure related to
unexpired risk has been incorporated within the estimation of premium liabilities and, as a result, in the calculation of the Group’s
regulatory capital position. Refer to Note 2.4 for further details on adequacy of the unearned premium liability.
The table below summarises the ways in which the various elements of the COVID-19 specific provisioning have been reflected
within these financial statements. All values are calibrated to a 90% probability of adequacy (PoA) and are shown net of related

Goodwill and intangible assets impairment
The assumptions underpinning the value-in-use calculations used to evaluate the supportability of goodwill and intangible assets
were adjusted to reflect reasonable estimates of the impact of COVID-19 and the increased risks associated with the estimated
cash flows. Whilst there is no impairment in relation to any of the cash-generating units at 30 June 2020, there is a heightened
level of uncertainty around key assumptions in the current environment. This has the potential to materially impact the value-in-use
assessment moving forward and potentially the carrying value of the respective intangible assets and goodwill. Refer to Note 5.1
for further details on goodwill and intangible assets.
Investment in joint venture and associates impairment
The Group’s associate investment in Malaysia, AmGeneral, has seen some impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,
including favourable motor claims frequency and lower overall growth levels in line with reduced economic activity. In performing
the impairment test at 30 June 2020, the Group has revised its future forecast cash flow estimates accordingly. Whilst no
impairment has been identified at the balance date, future changes in local economic conditions and the broader operating
environment have the potential to materially impact key assumptions. Refer to Note 6.5 for further details on investment in joint
venture and associates.
Fair value measurement of investments
IAG’s investments are designated at fair value through profit and loss, and for the vast majority of the investments, the fair value is
determined based on observable market data. This measurement basis has not changed as a result of COVID-19.
Where readily available market data is not available to determine fair value, then a mark-to-model approach is adopted. Judgement
is required in both the selection of the model and inputs used. The investments which are subject to valuation using unobservable
inputs are disclosed in the Group’s fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 2.3 for further details on investments.
Expected credit losses
The impact of COVID-19 on the recoverability of receivables from (re)insurance and non-insurance contracts have been considered.
While the methodologies and assumptions applied in the base expected credit loss (ECL) calculations remained unchanged from
those applied in the prior financial year, the Group has incorporated estimates, assumptions and judgements specific to the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated customer support packages provided. Whilst no material recoverability issues have
been identified, there is a risk that the economic impacts of COVID-19 could be deeper or more prolonged than anticipated, which
could result in higher credit losses than those modelled under the base case. Refer to Note 2.6 for further details on ECL.
NOTE 1.3 SEGMENT REPORTING
IAG has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer
(being the chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
A. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
IAG has general insurance operations in Australia and New Zealand, with the reportable segments for the period ended 30 June
2020 comprising the following business divisions:
I. Australia
This segment provides general insurance products to individuals, families and businesses throughout Australia, primarily
through the NRMA Insurance, SGIO, SGIC brands, the RACV brand in Victoria (via a distribution and underwriting relationship
with RACV), the Coles Insurance brand (via a distribution agreement with Coles) and the CGU and WFI brands through
intermediaries including brokers, authorised representatives and distribution partners.
57
II. New Zealand
This segment provides general insurance products underwritten in New Zealand. Insurance products are sold directly to
customers predominantly under the State and AMI brands, and through intermediaries (insurance brokers and authorised
representatives) primarily using the NZI and Lumley Insurance brands. General insurance products are also distributed by
corporate partners, such as large financial institutions, using third party brands.
III. Corporate and other
This segment comprises other activities, including corporate services, capital management activity, shareholders’ funds
investment activities, inward reinsurance from associates, investment in associates, and other businesses that offer products
and services that are adjacent to IAG's insurance business. IAG’s captive reinsurance operation (captive) is a corporate
function that acts as the interface between the external providers of reinsurance capital and the operating business divisions.
IAG does not manage, or view, the captive as a separate business. Consequently, the operating results of the captive are
systematically allocated to the operating business segments.

58 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
2. INSURANCE DISCLOSURES
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of IAG's general insurance operations, which are the main driver of IAG's overall performance
and financial position.
IAG collects premium and recognises revenue for the insurance policies it underwrites. From this, IAG pays amounts to customers
on settlement of insurance claims, with the claims expense representing the largest cost to IAG, as well as operating costs, which
include the costs associated with obtaining and recording insurance contracts.
To mitigate IAG's overall risk and optimise its return profile, IAG passes some of its underwriting exposure to third parties (primarily
reinsurance companies). The premiums paid to reinsurers are an expense to IAG, whereas recoveries under the reinsurance
contracts are recognised as revenue. These recoveries can either be in relation to operating costs (reinsurance commission) or
underwriting risk (reinsurance recoveries).
Investment activities are an integral part of the insurance business. The funds received from the collection of premium are
invested as a key source of return for IAG under a sound investment philosophy. IAG starts investing insurance premiums as soon
as they are collected and continues to generate returns until claims or other expenses are paid out.
The underwriting result measures the profit (or loss) generated from underwriting activities in a given period. The insurance
result, which is a key performance metric, adds the net investment return to the underwriting result to derive the overall pre-tax
profit (or loss) from insurance operations.

B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Premium revenue
Premiums written are earned through the profit or loss in line with the incidence of the pattern of risk. The majority of premium is
earned according to the passage of time (e.g. for a one-year policy, 1/365th of premium written will be earned each day).
II. Reinsurance and other recoveries
The recognition and measurement criteria for reinsurance and other recoveries revenue is referred to in Note 2.2.
III. Reinsurance commission revenue
Reinsurance commission revenue includes reimbursements by reinsurers to cover a share of IAG’s operating costs and, where
applicable, fee income which reinsurers pay for accessing IAG's franchise. These income items are recognised broadly in line with
the reference premium over the term of the reinsurance agreements. Where applicable, the reinsurance commission revenue also
includes income which is based on the expected profitability of the covered business ceded to the reinsurer. The final value of the
variable commission revenue recognised is subject to the achievement of a specified underlying profitability hurdle rate over time.
This variable revenue is recognised over the term of the reinsurance contract on a straight-line, or other systematic basis, in
accordance with the terms of the contract, and is reassessed at each reporting date.

III. Maturity analysis
Refer to Note 3.1 for details of the maturity profile of the estimated net discounted outstanding claims liability based on the
remaining term to payment at the reporting date.
IV. Development table
Claims will often take a number of years to be settled from the date the original loss occurred. The following table shows the
development of the net undiscounted ultimate claims estimate for the ten most recent accident years and a reconciliation to the
net discounted outstanding claims liability. This table provides the user with an overview of how IAG's estimates of total claim
amounts payable in relation to a given year have evolved over time. If the estimate of ultimate claims in relation to a given
accident year declines over time, this suggests claims have developed more favourably than was anticipated at the time the original
reserving assumptions were set.
60 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Where an entity or business that includes an outstanding claims liability has been acquired, the claims for the acquired businesses
are included in the claims development table from and including the year of acquisition. The outstanding claims liability includes
international operations. For ease of comparison within the claims development table, all payments not denominated in Australian
dollars have been converted to Australian dollars using the applicable exchange rates at the reporting dates. Therefore, the claims
development table disclosed each reporting year cannot be reconciled directly to the equivalent tables presented in previous years'
financial statements.
In the 2018 financial year, IAG announced the sale of its consolidated businesses in Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia with the sale
of its Thailand operations completing in the prior financial year and its Indonesian operations in the current financial year. The
development table below includes claims related to the Thailand and Indonesian operations up to the 2018 and 2019 accident
year, respectively, but not beyond. Claims related to Vietnam are included up to the 2020 accident year and any outstanding
claims relating to this business have been treated as paid in the table below within item (1).

C. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Outstanding claims liability and claims expense
Claims expense represents the sum of claim payments and the movement in the closing outstanding claims liability from one
financial period to the next. Current year claims relate to loss events that occurred during the current financial year. Prior year
claims represent the movement on the estimates held for claims that occurred in all previous financial periods.
The outstanding claims liability is determined based on three building blocks:
a central estimate of the future cash flows;
discounting for the effect of the time value of money; and
adding a risk margin for uncertainty.
61
a. CENTRAL ESTIMATE OF THE FUTURE CASH FLOWS
The outstanding claims liability is measured as the central estimate of the expected future payments relating to claims incurred
prior to the reporting date including direct and indirect claims handling costs. The liability is measured based on the advice and/or
valuations performed by, or under the direction of, the Appointed Actuary, and is intended to contain no deliberate or conscious
bias toward over or under-estimation. Given the uncertainty in establishing the liability, it is likely that the final outcome will differ
from the original liability established. Changes in claim estimates are recognised in profit or loss in the reporting year in which the
estimates are changed.
b. DISCOUNTING
Projected future claim payments, both gross and net of reinsurance and other recoveries and associated claims handling costs, are
discounted to a present value using risk free discount rates (derived from market yields on government securities) to reflect the
time value of money.
c. RISK MARGIN
Given the uncertainty inherent in estimating future claim payments, it is considered appropriate to add a risk margin to the central
estimate of expected future claim payments. The risk margin represents the amount by which the liability recognised in the
financial statements is greater than the actuarial central estimate. IAG currently applies a 90% probability of adequacy to the
outstanding claims liability. In effect this means there is approximately a 1-in-10 chance all future claim payments will exceed the
overall reserve held.
Uncertainties surrounding the liability estimation process include those relating to the available data, actuarial models and
assumptions, the statistical uncertainty associated with a general insurance claims run-off process, and risks external to IAG, for
example the impact of potential future legislative reform. Uncertainty from these sources is examined for each class of business
and expressed as a volatility measure relative to the net central estimate. The volatility measure for each class is derived after
consideration of statistical modelling and benchmarking to industry analyses. Certain product classes may be subject to the
emergence of new types of latent claims, and such uncertainties are considered when setting the volatility and hence the risk
margin appropriate for those classes.
Long-tail classes of business generally have the highest volatilities for outstanding claims as the longer average time for claims to
be reported and settled allows more time for sources of uncertainty to emerge. Short-tail classes generally have lower levels of
volatility for outstanding claims.
IAG benefits from holding a portfolio diversified into many classes of business across different regions. The risk margin required to
provide a given probability of adequacy for two or more classes of business or for two or more geographic locations combined is
likely to be less than the sum of risk margins for the individual classes. This reflects the benefit of diversification. The level of
diversification assumed between classes takes into account industry analysis, historical experience and the judgement of
experienced and qualified actuaries.
The current risk margin and resultant overall probability of adequacy for the outstanding claims, which has been determined after
assessing the inherent uncertainty in the central estimate, diversification and risks in the prevailing environment, is set out below:
The percentage risk margin applied to the net outstanding claims liability
The probability of adequacy of the risk margin
A key driver of the increased percentage in the risk margin was the inclusion of COVID-19 specific effects.

II. Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims
Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims are recognised as income with the corresponding asset being recognised
on the balance sheet. Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims are measured at the present value (discounted
using appropriate risk free discount rates) of the expected future receipts due as a result of the reinsurance protection that IAG has
in place. The reporting date balance also includes the net goods and services tax (GST) receivable on outstanding claims.
62 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
D. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
I. Outstanding claims liability
The estimation of the outstanding claims liability involves a number of key assumptions and is the most critical accounting
estimate. The process involves using IAG's specific data, relevant industry data and general economic data. Each class of business
is usually examined separately, and the process involves consideration of a large number of factors, including the risks to which the
business is exposed at a point in time, claim frequencies and average claim sizes, historical trends in the incidence and
development of claims reported and finalised, as well as legal, social and economic factors that may affect each class of business.
In establishing the COVID-19 specific element of the net outstanding claims liability, significant management judgement has been
applied to derive a reasonable estimate of the probability-weighted view of potential future cash flows. Key areas of judgement
relate to the exposure period, the estimation of potential economic loss, related key macroeconomic variables (including
unemployment), reinsurance coverage and legal risk. Given the extent of the uncertainty we are facing, the range of potential
financial outcomes in relation to these matters is unusually wide. All related uncertainties have been factored into our probability-
weighting when estimating the provision. For further details on the impact from COVID-19 refer to Note 1.2.
The following ranges of key actuarial assumptions were used in the measurement of outstanding claims and recoveries, where
appropriate, within the operating segments at the reporting date.

a. DISCOUNTED AVERAGE TERM TO SETTLEMENT
The discounted average term to settlement provides a summary indication of the expected future cash flow pattern for claims
(inflated and discounted). It is calculated by class of business and is generally based on historical settlement patterns. A decrease
in the discounted average term to settlement would reflect claims being paid sooner than anticipated and so would increase the
claims expense. Note that this sensitivity test only extends or shortens the term of the payments assumed in the valuation, without
changing the total nominal amount of the payments.
b. INFLATION RATE AND SUPERIMPOSED INFLATION
Payments of claims outstanding at the reporting date are to be made in the future and so need to take account of expected
increases in the underlying cost of final claim settlements due to inflationary pressures. Economic inflation assumptions are set by
reference to current economic indicators. Superimposed inflation tends to occur due to wider societal trends such as the cost of
court settlements increasing at a faster rate than the economic inflation rate.
c. DISCOUNT RATE
An increase or decrease in the assumed discount rate will have a corresponding decrease or increase (respectively) on the claims
expense recognised in the profit or loss.
d. CLAIMS HANDLING COSTS RATIO
This reflects the cost to administer future claims. The ratio is generally calculated with reference to the historical experience of
claims handling costs as a percentage of past payments, together with budgeted future costs.
II. Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims
The measurement of reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims is an inherently uncertain process involving
estimates. The amounts are generally calculated using actuarial assumptions and methods similar to those used for the
outstanding claims liability, with appropriate consideration of the credit risk of the counterparty. Accordingly, the valuation of
outstanding reinsurance recoveries is subject to largely similar risks and uncertainties as the valuation of the related outstanding
claims liability. Significant individual losses, for example those relating to catastrophe events, are analysed on a case-by-case
basis.
63
E. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The impact on the divisional net outstanding claims liabilities (net of reinsurance recoveries) before income tax to changes in key
actuarial assumptions is summarised below. Each change has been calculated in isolation of the other changes, and without
regard to other balance sheet changes that may occur simultaneously. The movements are stated in absolute terms where the

C. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Investment revenue is brought to account on an accruals basis. Revenue on investments in equity securities and property trusts is
deemed to accrue on the date the dividends/distributions are declared, which for listed equity securities is deemed to be the ex-
dividend date.
Investments comprise assets held to back insurance liabilities (policyholder funds that represent assets available for future
settlement of outstanding claims) and assets that represent shareholders' funds. The investment funds themselves are
predominantly generated from the collection of insurance premiums. The allocation of investments between policyholder funds
and shareholders' funds is regularly monitored and the portfolio rebalanced accordingly. To determine the allocation, IAG’s
investment funds under management are compared to the technical provisions of IAG, which include insurance liabilities. The
policyholder funds are allocated to back the technical provisions, with the excess representing shareholders' funds.
All investments are designated at fair value through profit or loss. Investments are recorded and subsequently remeasured to fair
value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value are recognised as realised or unrealised investment gains or losses in profit
or loss. IAG recognises transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels (described below) as at the end of the
reporting year. Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on a trade date basis, being the date on which a commitment is
made to purchase or sell the asset. Transaction costs for purchases of investments are expensed as incurred. Investments are
derecognised when the rights to receive future cash flows from the assets have expired, or have been transferred, and substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred.
The inputs used to determine the fair value for securities recognised under each level of the fair value hierarchy is set out below.
I. Level 1 quoted prices
The fair value is determined by reference to quoted prices (mid-market) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For
IAG, this category includes government securities and listed equities.
II. Level 2 other observable inputs
The fair value is determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or by reference to other
significant inputs that are not quoted prices but are based on observable market data, for example interest rate yield curves
observable at commonly quoted intervals. For IAG, this category primarily includes corporate and other fixed interest securities
where the market is considered to be lacking sufficient depth to be considered active. There have been no significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 during the current and prior financial periods.
III. Level 3 unobservable inputs
The fair value is determined using valuation techniques in which a number of the significant inputs are not based on observable
market data. Level 3 investments are primarily invested in interest-bearing instruments and unlisted equity held via unlisted trusts.
The fair value of these unlisted trusts is based on the net asset value as advised by the external investment manager of these
funds who has responsibility for the valuation of the underlying securities. The investment manager may use various valuation
techniques in the determination of fair value based on a range of internal, external and third party inputs where available. This
category also includes IAG's unlisted equity interest in Bohai Property Insurance Company Limited (Bohai). The fair value of Bohai
is supported by comparable industry transaction multiples observed in the local market. During the current financial year, in
addition to changes in fair value, movements in level 3 investments included:
purchases of $172 million (2019: $369 million) and sales of $63 million (2019: $133 million) in interest-bearing instruments;
purchases of $139 million (2019: $94 million) in unlisted equity with $23 million sales in the current financial year (2019: nil);
and
there have been no significant transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during the current and prior financial periods.

The carrying value of unearned premium liability includes $45 million (2019: $69 million) which is expected to be earned more than
12 months from reporting date.
B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Unearned premium is the portion of premium income that has yet to be recognised in the profit or loss (i.e. unexpired portion for
risks underwritten) and is calculated based on the term of the risk and in accordance with the expected pattern of the incidence of
risk underwritten, using an appropriate pro-rata method.
C. ADEQUACY OF UNEARNED PREMIUM LIABILITY
I. Liability adequacy test (LAT)
The LAT assesses the adequacy of the carrying amount of the net unearned premium liability to settle future claims. To determine
if any deficiency exists, estimates of future claim costs (premium liabilities net of reinsurance) are compared to the unearned
premium liability (net of reinsurance and related deferred acquisition costs). If the future claim costs exceed the net premium
liabilities, then a deficiency exists. Any deficiency is recognised immediately in profit or loss, with the corresponding impact on the
balance sheet recognised first through the write-down of deferred acquisition costs for the relevant portfolio of contracts and then
through the establishment of a provision (unexpired risk liability).
The LAT is required to be conducted at the level of a portfolio of contracts that are subject to broadly similar risks and that are
managed together as a single portfolio. IAG defines 'broadly similar risks' at a level where policies are affected by one or more
common risk factors, including natural peril events, general weather conditions, economic conditions, inflationary movements,
legal and regulatory changes as well as legislative reforms, reinsurance cost changes and variation in other input costs. IAG
defines 'managed together' at a segment level as the respective divisional CEOs collectively manage the entire portfolio within their
control. The LAT is currently performed at the segment level for Australia and New Zealand.
The LAT at reporting date resulted in a surplus (2019: surplus), with the table below providing details of the net premium liabilities
(net of reinsurance and adjusted for appropriate risk margin) used in the LAT:

A key driver of the year-on-year increase in the premium liabilities net of reinsurance was the inclusion of COVID-19 specific effects.
II. Significant accounting estimates and judgements
The LAT is conducted using the central estimate of the premium liabilities, applying a methodology consistent for reporting to APRA,
which requires an estimation of the present value of future net cash flows (relating to future claims arising from the rights and
obligations under current general insurance contracts) and adjusted for an appropriate risk margin for uncertainty in the central
estimate for each portfolio of contracts. The test is based on prospective information and so is heavily dependent on assumptions
and judgements.
The risk margin used in the LAT for individual portfolios is calculated by using a probability of adequacy (POA) methodology including
diversification benefit, which is consistent with that used for the determination of the risk margin for the outstanding claims
liability, based on assessments of the levels of risk in each portfolio. The 60% POA represented by the LAT differs from the 90%
POA represented by the outstanding claims liability as the former is in effect an impairment test used only to test the sufficiency of
net unearned premium liabilities, whereas the latter is a measurement accounting policy used in determining the carrying value of
the outstanding claims liability. The process used to determine the risk margin, including the way in which diversification of risks
has been allowed for, is explained in Note 2.2.

The carrying value of deferred acquisition costs includes $4 million (2019: $9 million) which is expected to be amortised more than 12 months from reporting date.
The carrying value of deferred outwards reinsurance expense includes $24 million (2019: $43 million) which is expected to be amortised more than 12 months from
reporting date.
B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Acquisition costs
Acquisition costs are incurred in obtaining and recording general insurance contracts, which include advertising expenses,
commission or brokerage paid to agents or brokers, premium collection costs, risk assessment costs and other administrative
costs. These costs are initially capitalised and then expensed in line with the earning pattern of the related premium. Deferred
acquisition costs at the reporting date represent the acquisition costs relating to unearned premium.
II. Outwards reinsurance expense
Premium ceded to reinsurers is recognised as an expense in accordance with the pattern of reinsurance service received. The
outwards reinsurance premium relating to unearned premium is treated as a prepayment at the reporting date.

Other than the loan to associates, receivables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled between 30 days and 12 months. The balance has not been discounted
as the time value of money effect is not material. The net carrying amount of receivables is a reasonable approximation of the fair value of the assets due to the short-
term nature of the assets.
This loan is denominated in Malaysian ringgit and has a fixed term of 15 years from 21 September 2012. A cumulative preference dividend of 1% is payable annually.
The loan relates to IAG's increased investment in AmGeneral to acquire Kurnia during the financial year ended 30 June 2013.
For further details on the impact from COVID-19 refer to Note 1.2.
B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost reflecting the net recoverable amounts inclusive of GST. The amounts
are discounted where the time value of money effect is material.
On initial recognition of trade and other receivables an assessment of lifetime expected credit losses is performed based on
historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Amounts are then provided for where required with the impairment charge recognised in profit or loss. These lifetime expected
credit losses are then assessed on an ongoing basis. Balances are written off when IAG has stopped pursuing the recovery. If the
amount to be written off is greater than the amount provided for, the difference will first be treated as an increase in the provision
that is applied against the gross carrying amount. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to profit or loss. The receivables that
were written off during the reporting period were insignificant, and therefore there has been no change to the provision for
expected credit losses associated with trade and other receivables. Receivables from insurance and reinsurance contracts are not
required to be assessed for expected credit losses under AASB 9, however amounts are provided for where appropriate. Refer to
Note 3.1 for further details.

IAG has a right of offset and settles on a net basis under the 20% quota share agreement with National Indemnity Company, a Berkshire Hathaway (BH) company, and
under the combined 12.5% quota share agreements with Munich Re, Swiss Re and Hannover Re. This balance includes reinsurance premium payable to BH of $1,191
million (2019: $1,202 million) and the combined 12.5% quota share agreement counterparties of $757 million (2019: $756 million), which have been offset with
receivables due from BH of $775 million (2019: $694 million) and the combined 12.5% quota share agreement counterparties of $420 million (2019: $375 million),
respectively. The relevant cash flows pertaining to the contracts have been presented on a gross basis within the cash flow statement.
Trade and other payables are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are normally settled within 30 days to 12 months. Amounts have not been discounted because the
time value of money effect is not material. The carrying amount of payables is a reasonable approximation of the fair value of the liabilities because of the short- term
nature of the liabilities.

3. RISK
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of IAG's approach to risk and capital management.
IAG is exposed to multiple risks relating to the conduct of its business. IAG does not seek to avoid all risks, but rather to assess
them in a systematic, structured and timely manner against IAG’s Risk Appetite Statement, delegations, authorities and limits, and
seeks to manage them appropriately in alignment with IAG's strategy. Risk management arrangements are designed to reflect the
scope, scale and complexity of IAG's activities, and where appropriate, capital is held to support these activities.
IAG uses an enterprise-wide approach to risk that includes the following risk categories:
Strategic
Customer
Insurance
Reinsurance
Market
Credit
Liquidity
Capital
Operational
Regulatory and compliance
Culture and conduct
The risk categories, their definition and structured arrangements for their management are included in IAG's Risk Management
Strategy (RMS). Risks rarely exist, nor should be considered, in isolation. The interconnectivity of IAG's material risks is
understood and managed. Key risks and their potential impact, likelihood, interconnectedness and velocity are considered in
IAG's Enterprise Risk Profile (ERP).
NOTE 3.1 RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
A. RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
The Board has responsibility for setting the risk appetite within which it expects management to operate and approves IAG’s Risk
Appetite Statement and Risk Management Strategy. The Risk Committee assists the Board to discharge its risk management and
compliance responsibilities, oversight of risk management, oversight of the implementation and operation of the Group’s risk
management and governance frameworks and provides advice to the Executives and Board. The Risk Committee also monitors the
effectiveness of the Risk Management function. The Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO) oversees risk management practices across
IAG. The Group CRO is supported by the Group Risk Function and by other subject matter experts including the Chief Actuary, Chief
Underwriting Officer and EGM Capital Markets. The Group CRO provides regular reports to the Risk Committee on the operation of
the Risk Management Framework (RMF), the status of material risks, risk and compliance incidents and risk framework changes.
68 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The RMF is in place to assist the Board and senior executive management in managing risk. The RMF is the totality of systems,
structures, policies, processes and people within IAG that identify, measure, evaluate, monitor, report and control or mitigate all
internal and external sources of material risk. The RMF supports management by:
providing a consistent, structured approach to identifying and managing risk across the Group;
having appropriate policies, procedures and controls in place to effectively manage risks;
providing meaningful reporting to the Board to make informed business decisions;
ensuring adequate oversight of the risk profile; and
facilitating a strong risk culture.
IAG's documented RMS describes the group-wide RMF and how it is implemented, including risk appetite (i.e. the levels, boundaries
and nature of risk the organisation is willing to accept), the risk categories used, the major risk management processes, and the
roles and responsibilities for managing risk. The RMS is a Board-approved document which directly supports the Group’s strategic
intent, purpose, values and business sustainability activities. IAG uses Group policies and other supporting documents to help
ensure the risk management requirements are clear across IAG. The RMS must be adhered to, along with the legal, regulatory and
prudential requirements in all countries in which the organisation has operations.
Other key documents within IAG's RMF include:
Reinsurance Management Strategy (ReMS), which describes the systems, structures, and processes which collectively ensure
IAG's reinsurance arrangements and operations are prudently managed;
Group Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which articulates the levels, boundaries and nature of risk the Board is willing to accept
in pursuit of IAG's strategic objectives; and
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) Summary Statement, which summarises IAG's risk assessment
processes for capital management and describes the strategy for maintaining adequate capital over time.
The definitions of the risk categories and related mitigation strategies are set out in the subsequent sections.
Other key documents within IAG, include:
Group Crisis Management Plan which minimises business impact and loss in the event of a significant incident by providing a
clear and organised response strategy supported by pre-defined response procedures; and
a Recovery Plan, which provides guidance on how IAG might be restored to a sound financial condition following severe
financial stress.
COVID-19
The financial and social impacts of COVID-19 continue to emerge and will further develop over the coming year. Their extent and
duration are difficult to forecast and remain dependent on many factors. These include the extent to which the virus persists, the
efficacy of government and central bank responses (both locally and globally) and the impact prolonged uncertainty has on
consumer and business sentiment.
The immediate impacts on IAG have been from market volatility creating lower investment returns, and influencing capital
management activities, increases in insurance liabilities across impacted classes of business, the acute effect on the financial
position of some of our customers and the adaptation in working practises amongst our employees, business partners and
suppliers. As the impacts of the virus and associated responses evolve, so too will the associated risks and IAG is committed to
appropriately managing those risks at all levels.
Some of the key specific risks and IAG’s response to them are as follows:
Capital and market risk – At 30 June 2020, IAG had a CET1 multiple of 1.23 (2019: 1.31) and a PCA multiple of 1.97 (2019:
2.12). COVID-19 has given rise to increased levels of market volatility and credit risk (both in the investment portfolio and with
our customers and suppliers) that has required a more active capital monitoring approach. Initiatives to achieve this include
more frequent assessments of capital adequacy to account for larger, and more rapid, investment market movements and
further capital stress testing against COVID-19 related risks. Capital levels will continue to be very closely monitored.
Regulatory risk – Regulators have been closely engaged on IAG's response to COVID-19. Sector-wide regulatory engagement
has also increased, particularly around operational resilience, capital management and dividend policy, and customer impacts.
IAG is engaging with its regulators regularly and will continue its aligned and proactive approach to supporting customers,
business resilience and continuity measures.
Customer risk – IAG understands the difficulties many of our customers are facing during this time and the risks this presents
to our business. Consequently, a range of support measures have been made available to our personal and small business
customers who are experiencing genuine need, including:
These support measures are temporary in nature, but will be reassessed as needed. Additional customer contact centre
resources have also been made available to manage the increased number of customers requiring assistance.
Insurance risk – Refer to the disclosures provided in Note 1.2.
Operational risk – The rapid migration of the vast majority of IAG employees from an office-based work environment to working
from home has heightened some risks. These include technology and cyber-related risk as well as fraud and employee health
and wellbeing. While a level of heightened risk in these areas is inevitable in these times, the attendant risks are well
understood and policies are in place to manage and mitigate them.
access to premium reductions;
deferred premiums for small business customers;
repayment frequency adjustments;
reduced excess amounts; and
waiving of certain fees and a relaxed cancellation policy.

B. STRATEGIC RISK
Strategic risk is defined as the risk that internal or external factors compromise our ability to execute our strategic objectives or our
strategy.
Strategic risk is managed by the Group Leadership Team with Board oversight. Key elements that support the management of
strategic risk include a rigorous approach to identifying and evaluating key strategic risks and having this process integrated with
the Group’s strategic planning program, with Management and Board reporting forming part of our ongoing monitoring
mechanisms. IAG implements active portfolio management of its insurance operations. This involves robust and regular review of
the portfolios that leads to informed decisions on the allocation of assets in the most efficient and value-accretive way in order to
achieve IAG's strategic objectives. Consideration of both current and future value is critical in the process. Portfolio management
can involve the acquisition or divestment of other entities, for which IAG has implemented a merger and acquisitions framework to
help ensure the associated risks are appropriately managed. Strategic risk mitigation is further enhanced by the accountabilities of
the Strategy and Innovation function. This function ensures IAG is accessing data-driven customer insights and reacting to such
through the innovation of products and services.
C. CUSTOMER RISK
Customer risk is defined as the risk of failing to meet customer expectations leading to lower customer satisfaction, retention rates
and new business opportunities.
IAG is committed to delivering positive customer experiences and value through the provision of products and services suited to our
customers’ needs.
IAG manages customer risk by applying a customer lens to all processes and maintaining our customers at the heart of everything
we do. Dedicated forums such as the Consumer Advisory Board and the Group Customer Conduct Council are designed to capture,
analyse and use customer feedback to enhance our products, services and propositions.
D. INSURANCE RISK
Insurance risk is the risk of loss as a result of:
inadequate or inappropriate underwriting or product pricing;
unforeseen, unknown or unintended liabilities that may eventuate;
inadequate or inappropriate claims management including reserving; and
insurance concentration risk (i.e. by locality, segment factor, or distribution).
A fundamental part of IAG's overall risk management approach is the effective governance and management of the risks that affect
the amount, timing and certainty of cash flows arising from insurance contracts. The level of insurance risk accepted by IAG is
formally documented in its Business Division Licences, which are issued to each operating division. The Business Division Licence
is prepared by the Group Chief Underwriting Officer in consultation with the customer-facing divisions and is approved by the Group
CEO. The Business Division Licences are reviewed annually or more frequently if required. In addition to Business Division
Licences, insurance risk is also managed through the implementation of the Insurance Risk Framework and supporting Insurance
Risk Principles.
I. Acceptance and pricing of risk
IAG focusses on the sustainability of its underwriting risk profile, rather than a premium volume or market share oriented approach.
IAG believes this approach provides the greatest long-term likelihood of being able to meet the objectives of all stakeholders,
including policyholders, regulators and shareholders. Underwriting and pricing expertise, coupled with data and analytics capability,
allow IAG to underwrite policies in the context of its risk appetite.
The underwriting by IAG of large numbers of less than fully correlated individual risks, predominantly short-tail business, across a
range of classes of insurance business in different regions reduces the variability in overall claims experience over time. A risk still
remains that the actual amount of claims paid is different to the amount estimated at the time an insurance product was designed
and priced. IAG's claims management and provisioning, reinsurance and capital management further mitigate the impact of this
risk.
As referenced above, business divisions are required to underwrite within set criteria as outlined in the Business Division Licence.
Maximum limits are set for the acceptance of risk both on an individual insurance contract basis and for classes of business and
specific risk groupings.
Management information systems are maintained to provide up-to-date, reliable data on the risks to which the business is exposed
at any point in time. Statistical models that combine historical and projected data (pricing, claims and market conditions) are used
to calculate premiums and monitor claim patterns for each class of business.
II. Claims management and provisioning
Once an incident has occurred, initial claim estimates are managed by claims officers with the requisite degree of experience and
competence with the assistance, where appropriate, of a loss adjustor or other party with specialist knowledge of specific incidents.
These case estimates are used to form part of the basis of the claim provisions. It is IAG's intention to respond to and settle all
valid claims quickly whenever possible and to pay claims fairly, based on policyholders' full entitlements.
Claim provisions are established using actuarial valuation models, including a risk margin to cover inherent uncertainty in the
ultimate cost of claims, to ensure adequate capital is allocated to settle claims that have occurred. Refer to Note 2.2 for further
details.
70 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
III. Concentrations of insurance risk
Each year IAG sets its tolerance for concentration risk through the use of various models to estimate its maximum exposure to
potential natural disasters and other catastrophes. IAG mitigates its exposure to concentrations of insurance risk by holding a
portfolio diversified into many classes of business across different regions and by the utilisation of reinsurance, taking into account
the cost of reinsurance and capital efficiency. The reinsurance cover limits IAG's financial exposure to a single event with a given
probability, and also protects capital. The catastrophe reinsurance cover purchased affects the Insurance Concentration Risk
Charge (ICRC) in the APRA capital calculation.
Concentration risk is particularly relevant in the case of catastrophes, usually natural disasters including earthquakes, bushfires,
hailstorms, tropical storms and high winds, which generally result in a concentration of policyholders being impacted by the same
event. This aggregation of multiple claims arising from a single event creates the most material insurance loss potential in the
Group. IAG is also exposed to certain large man-made catastrophic events such as industrial accidents and building fires.
Catastrophe losses are an inherent risk of the general insurance industry that contribute to potentially material year-to-year
fluctuations in the results of operations and financial position. The nature and level of catastrophes in any period cannot be
predicted accurately but can be estimated through the utilisation of predictive models. IAG actively monitors its aggregate
exposure to catastrophe losses in all regions and limits exposure in regions that are subject to high levels of natural perils. Specific
processes for monitoring identified key concentrations are set out below:
RISK
An accumulation of risks arising from a
natural peril/catastrophe
SOURCE OF CONCENTRATION
Insured property concentrations
RISK MANAGEMENT MEASURES
Accumulation risk modelling and
reinsurance protection
A large property loss
Fire or accident affecting one building or a
group of adjacent buildings
Maximum per risk acceptance limits,
property risk grading and reinsurance
protection
Multiple liability retentions being
involved in the same event
Response by a multitude of policies to the
one event
Purchase of reinsurance clash protection
The table below provide an analysis of gross written premium from continuing operations by both region and product, which
demonstrates the diversity of IAG's operations and its relatively limited exposure to additional risks associated with long-tail classes
of business (where there is increased uncertainty of the ultimate cost of claims due to the additional period of time to settlement):

E. REINSURANCE RISK
Reinsurance risk is the risk of:
lack of capacity in the reinsurance market;
insufficient or inappropriate reinsurance coverage;
inadequate underwriting and/or pricing of reinsurance exposures retained by IAG’s reinsurance captives;
inadequate or inappropriate reinsurance recovery management;
reinsurance arrangements not being legally binding; and
reinsurance concentration.
IAG's reinsurance program is an important part of its overall approach to risk and capital management. It is used to limit exposure
to large single claims as well as an accumulation of claims that arise from the same or similar events in order to stabilise earnings
and protect capital resources. The Reinsurance Management Strategy outlines IAG's reinsurance principles, including the
requirement that reinsurance retention for catastrophe must not exceed 4% of gross earned premium.
71
In practice IAG purchases catastrophe reinsurance protection to at least the greater of:
APRA’s prescribed minimum approach of 1-in-200 year return period loss calculated on a whole-of-portfolio, all perils basis in
Australia;
a 1-in-250 year return period for earthquake loss calculated on a whole-of-portfolio, earthquake only basis in Australia; and
a 1-in-1000 year return period for earthquake loss calculated on a whole-of-portfolio, earthquake only basis in New Zealand.
Catastrophe model output is not the sole determinant of the amount of reinsurance purchased. Other factors such as loss
experience, anticipated portfolio changes and the market pricing of reinsurance are also considered.
Dynamic financial analysis modelling is used to determine the optimal level at which reinsurance should be purchased for capital
efficiency, compared with the cost and benefits of covers available in the reinsurance market.
The amount of reinsurance purchased is determined by reference to the modelled Probable Maximum Loss (PML). Natural perils
are inherently uncertain, which presents model risk. As a result, the loss from an actual event could exceed the modelled PML.
To facilitate the reinsurance process, manage counterparty exposure and create economies of scale, IAG has established a
centralised reinsurance model across its operations. This is via captive reinsurance entities in Singapore and Labuan, Malaysia and
a reinsurance department (or virtual captive) in Australia, collectively referred to as IAG Reinsurance. IAG Reinsurance acts as the
interface between the external providers of reinsurance capital and the operating business divisions.
The use of reinsurance introduces credit risk. The management of credit risk includes the monitoring of reinsurers’ credit ratings
and controlling total exposures to limit counterparty default risk which is further explained in the financial risk section. IAG adopts
a sound underwriting approach to the reinsurance program through the expertise provided by IAG Reinsurance. Retained
exposures sit within the Board risk appetite and appropriate capital is maintained.
I. Current reinsurance program
The external reinsurance program consists of a combination of the following reinsurance arrangements:
32.5% whole-of-account quota share arrangements;
a Group catastrophe reinsurance protection that runs to a calendar year and operates on an excess of loss basis, with IAG
retaining the first $250 million ($169 million post-quota share) of each loss. It covers all territories in which IAG operates. The
limit of catastrophe cover purchased effective 1 January 2020 was $9.75 billion placed to 67.5% (i.e. net of the whole-of-
account quota share). Should a loss event occur that is greater than $10 billion, IAG could potentially incur a net loss greater
than the retention stated above. IAG holds capital to mitigate the impact of this possibility;
aggregate sideways covers that protect against a frequency of attritional event losses in Australia, New Zealand and Asia, and
operates below the Group catastrophe cover;
excess of loss reinsurances which provide 'per risk' protection for retained exposures of the commercial property and
engineering businesses in Australia, New Zealand and Asia;
excess of loss reinsurance for all casualty portfolios including Compulsory Third Party (CTP), public liability, professional
indemnity directors and officers, workers’ compensation and home owners warranty products;
quota share reinsurance protection for cyber;
excess of loss reinsurance for all marine portfolios;
excess of loss reinsurance cover (stop loss) for retained natural peril losses;
quota share and stop loss reinsurance for crop;
adverse development cover (ADC) and quota share protection for the CTP portfolio;
ADC for the February 2011 Canterbury earthquake event; and
ADC for policies issued prior to 31 December 2015 covering IAG’s exposure to claims arising from legacy general liability
and/or workers’ compensation/employer's liability policies, primarily related to asbestos.
F. MARKET, CREDIT, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RISK
Key aspects of the processes established by IAG to monitor and mitigate these risks include:
reporting to the Board Risk and Audit Committees with Non-Executive Directors as members;
the Group Leadership Team Risk Committee comprising of all Group Executives;
the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCo) comprising key Executives with relevant oversight responsibilities;
value-at-risk analysis and position limits which are regularly monitored;
monthly stress testing which is undertaken to estimate the impact of adverse market movements;
maintenance of an approved Group Credit Risk Policy, Group Liquidity Policy, Group Foreign Exchange Policy and Group
Investment Policy;
Board-approved Strategic Asset Allocation setting out the overall structure of the investment strategy – asset classes, ranges
on asset class exposures and broad limits on active management such as duration limits;
capital management activities – for further details refer to the capital management section (IV) of this note; and
implementation of a Derivatives Risk Management Statement that considers the controls in the use of derivatives and sets out
the permissible use of derivatives in relation to investment strategies.
I. Market risk
Market risk is defined as the risk of adverse movements in market prices (equities, derivatives, interest rates, foreign exchange,
etc) or inappropriate concentration within the investment funds.
a. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
IAG operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk from various activities conducted in the normal course of
business. Foreign exchange exposure is managed by the IAG Capital Markets function.
72 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The key foreign exchange risk exposures arise from the fluctuation in spot exchange rates between the items denominated in
currency other than the Group's functional currency (Australian dollar), which causes the amount of the items to vary. Mitigation
strategies are set out below:
EXPOSURE
Net investment in foreign operations that have a functional currency other than the
Australian dollar (translation of financial position recognised directly in equity and
translation of financial performance recognised in profit or loss).
RISK MANAGEMENT MEASURES
Designated hedging instruments – forward
foreign exchange contracts (derivatives).
Interest-bearing liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Australian dollar.Some designated as hedging instruments
Insurance liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Australian dollar
(directly recognised in profit or loss).
Investments denominated in currencies other than the Australian dollar (directly
recognised in profit or loss).
where the currency matches the functional
currency of investments in foreign
operations.
Some assets backing technical reserves are
held in the same currency as the related
insurance liabilities, mitigating any net
foreign exchange exposure.
Designated economic hedging instruments –
forward foreign exchange contracts
(derivatives).
When all relevant criteria are met, the designated hedging instruments noted above will effectively reduce the impact of foreign
exchange gains and losses recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve during the period. The Group adopts a policy of
targeting between 50% and 100% of the foreign exchange risk exposures associated with net investments in foreign operations
(excluding intangible assets for consolidated entities) through designated hedging instruments. For the foreign exchange risk on its
investment portfolio, the Group adopts a policy to target a 100% economic hedge.
The table below provides information regarding the impact on the measurement of net investments in foreign operations held at
reporting date of an instantaneous 10% depreciation of the Australian dollar compared with selected currencies on equity, net of
related derivatives. An appreciation of the Australian dollar would broadly have the opposite impact.

(isolated exchange rate movements).
b. PRICE RISK
IAG has exposure to equity price risk through its investments in equities (both directly and through certain trusts), debt/equity
hybrids, hedge funds and the use of derivative contracts. The impact on the measurement of the investments held at reporting
date of a change in broad equity markets by +10% or -10% on profit before tax, net of related derivatives, is shown in the table
below:

Investments in equities, debt/equity hybrids, trust securities and related equity derivatives are all measured at fair value through
profit or loss. There is no direct impact of a change in market prices on equity.
73
c. INTEREST RATE RISK
Fixed interest rate assets and liabilities are exposed to changes in market value derived from mark-to-market revaluations.
Financial assets and liabilities with floating interest rates create cash flow variability.
IAG's interest rate risk arises primarily from fluctuations in the valuation of investments in fixed interest-bearing securities
recognised at fair value and from the underwriting of general insurance contracts, which creates exposure to the risk that interest
rate movements materially impact the fair value of the insurance liabilities (the insurance liabilities are discounted with reference
to the government yields). Movements in interest rates should have minimal impact on the insurance profit or loss due to IAG's
policy of investing in assets backing insurance liabilities principally in fixed interest securities that are closely matched to the
duration of the insurance liabilities (period to settlement). Therefore, movements in the fair value measurement of the assets
broadly offset the impact of movements in the insurance liabilities from changes in interest rates.
The impact on the measurement of investments in fixed interest-bearing securities held at reporting date of a change in interest
rates by +1% or -1% on profit before tax, net of related derivatives, is shown in the following table. The sensitivity analysis provided
demonstrates the effect of a change in interest rates only, whilst other assumptions remain unchanged. As investments in fixed
interest-bearing securities are measured at fair value through profit or loss, there is no direct impact from an interest rate change
on equity.

II. Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk arising from a counterparty’s failure to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms.
These include investment and derivative counterparties, reinsurers and premium debtors.
Concentrations of credit risk exist where a number of counterparties have similar economic characteristics. IAG's credit risk arises
predominantly from investment activities, reinsurance activities, premium debtors, over-the-counter derivatives (currency forwards)
and dealings with other intermediaries. IAG maintains a credit risk appetite, which is approved by the Board, and a Group Credit
Risk Policy that is consistent with the Board's risk appetite. The policy outlines the framework and procedures in place to ensure
an adequate and appropriate level of monitoring and management of credit quality throughout IAG, with the Capital Markets
function responsible for implementation. IAG maintains sufficiently diverse credit exposures which also assists in avoiding a
concentration charge being added to the regulatory capital requirement.
For the in-scope receivable balances, maximum exposure to credit risk is considered on initial measurement of the asset, where
lifetime expected credit losses are taken into account and provided for where required. Refer to Note 2.6 for further details.
a. INVESTMENTS
IAG is exposed to credit risk from investments in third parties, for example debt or similar securities issued by those companies.
The maximum exposure to credit risk loss as at reporting date is the carrying amount of the investments on the balance sheet as
they are measured at fair value. At the reporting date, there are material concentrations of credit risk to the banking sector, in
particular the four major Australian banks. The credit risk relating to investments is regularly monitored and assessed, with
maximum exposures limited by reference to credit rating and counterparty. Sovereign securities denominated in the functional
currency are considered risk free and are unconstrained. The assets backing insurance liabilities of $5,789 million (2019: $5,950
million) include predominantly high credit quality investments, such as government securities and other investment grade
securities, which reduce the risk of default.
The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to the interest-bearing investments based on Standard &
Poor’s counterparty credit ratings, which demonstrates the very strong overall credit quality of IAG's investment book:

b. REINSURANCE RECOVERIES ON PAID CLAIMS
Reinsurance arrangements mitigate insurance risk but expose IAG to credit risk. Reinsurance is placed with counterparties
(primarily reinsurance companies) based on an evaluation of their financial strength, terms of coverage and price. At the reporting
date, there are material concentrations of credit risk in relation to reinsurance recoverables, in particular to large global reinsurers.
IAG has clearly defined policies for the approval and management of credit risk in relation to reinsurers. IAG monitors the financial
condition of its reinsurers on an ongoing basis and periodically reviews the reinsurers’ ability to fulfil their obligations under
respective existing and future reinsurance contracts. Some of the reinsurers are domiciled outside the jurisdictions in which IAG
operates, so there is the potential for additional risk such as country risk and transfer risk.
It is IAG policy to only deal with reinsurers with credit ratings of at least Standard & Poor’s BBB+ (or other rating agency equivalent)
without collateralisation, other than a mandatory placement to meet local regulatory requirements. Where the credit rating of a
reinsurer falls below the required quality during the period of risk a contractual right to replace the counterparty exists. Some of
the reinsurance protection is purchased on a ‘collateralised’ basis, where counterparties either deposit funds equivalent to their
participation (trust or loss deposits) or provide other forms of collateral (letters of credit).
The following table provides IAG's exposure to reinsurance recoveries receivable on the outstanding claims balance, excluding other
recoveries, by counterparty credit rating (Standard & Poor's) and the secured collateral:

c. PREMIUM RECEIVABLE
The majority of the premium receivable balance relates to policies which are paid on a monthly instalment basis. The late payment
of amounts due under such arrangements allows for the cancellation of the related insurance contract eliminating both the credit
risk and insurance risk for the unpaid amounts. Upon cancellation of a policy the outstanding premium receivable and revenue is
reversed. IAG is also exposed to the credit risk associated with brokers and other intermediaries when premium is collected via
these intermediaries. IAG’s exposure is regularly monitored by ALCo with reference to aggregated exposure, credit rating, internal
credit limits and ageing of receivables by counterparty. Ageing analysis for premium receivable is provided below, with amounts

III. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises where liabilities cannot be met as they fall due as a result of insufficient funds and/or illiquid asset portfolios.
IAG's liquidity position is derived from operating cash flows, access to liquidity through related bodies corporate and interest-
bearing liabilities (with some denominated in different currencies and with different maturities). IAG complies with its liquidity risk
management practices, which include a Group policy, and has the framework and procedures in place to ensure an adequate and
appropriate level of monitoring and management of liquidity.
a. OUTSTANDING CLAIMS LIABILITY AND INVESTMENTS
Underwriting insurance contracts exposes IAG to liquidity risk through the obligation to make payment for claims of unknown
amounts on unknown dates. The assets backing insurance liabilities can generally be readily sold or exchanged for cash to settle
claims and are managed in accordance with the policy of broadly matching the overall maturity profile to the estimated pattern of
claim payments.
A maturity analysis is provided below of the estimated net discounted outstanding claims liability (based on the remaining term to
payment at the reporting date) and the investments that have a fixed term (provided by expected maturity). The timing of future
claim payments is inherently uncertain. Actual maturities may differ from expected maturities because certain counterparties have
the right to call or prepay certain obligations with or without penalties.

76 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
IV. Capital risk
Capital risk is defined as the risk that capital is insufficient or not of the best form (the mix of debt, equity and reinsurance is
inappropriate) given the nature, strategies and objectives of the Group. IAG's capital management strategy plays a central role in
managing risk to create shareholder value whilst meeting the objective of maintaining an appropriate level of capital to protect
policyholders' and lenders' interests, and meet regulatory requirements.
IAG has a documented description of the capital management process (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)) and
reports annually on its operation to the Board, together with a forward-looking estimate of expected capital utilisation (as
represented in IAG’s Capital Plan) and capital resilience (ICAAP Annual Report). The adequacy of IAG's capital position is judged
relative to the Board's Capital RAS, with an Internal Capital Model (ICM) used to assess the risks of breaching the minimum levels
established in the Capital RAS. Scenario analysis and stress testing are important adjuncts to the ICM. The amount of capital
required varies according to a range of factors including the business underwritten, extent of reinsurance and investment asset
allocation.
The target level of capitalisation (risk appetite) for IAG is assessed by consideration of factors including:
the probability of insolvency over the next three years;
the probability of falling below the APRA Prescribed Capital Amount (PCA) over the next three years;
other stakeholder perspectives on capitalisation, including rating agency capital models and associated ratings; and
domestic and international levels of capitalisation.
a. REGULATORY CAPITAL
All insurers within IAG that carry on insurance business in Australia are registered with APRA and are subject to APRA's Prudential
Standards. It is IAG's policy to ensure that each of the licenced insurers in the Group maintains an adequate capital position.
IAG's long-term target capital ranges are set out below:
a Common Equity Tier 1 capital of 0.9 to 1.1 times the PCA, compared to a regulatory requirement of a minimum of 0.6 times;
and
a total regulatory capital position equivalent to 1.6 to 1.8 times the PCA, compared to a regulatory requirement of a minimum
of 1.0 times.
Internal policies are in place to ensure any significant deviations from the benchmarks are considered by the Board as to how any
shortfall should be made good, or any surplus utilised or maintained.
IAG uses the standardised framework detailed in the relevant prudential standards (APRA Level 2 Insurance Group requirements) to
calculate regulatory capital.

At 30 June 2020, IAG's Insurance Concentration Risk Charge from a catastrophe event was $169 million (2019: $169 million).
Consideration is given to the operational capital needs of the business. Targeting a capital multiple above the minimum regulatory
requirement aims to ensure the ongoing strength and security of IAG, while suitably protecting policyholders and lenders.
IAG's capital objectives are achieved through dynamic management of the balance sheet and capital mix, the use of a risk-based
capital adequacy framework that relies on explicit quantification of uncertainty or risk and the use of modelling techniques that
provide the capacity to understand the risk/return trade-off as well as valuable inputs to the capital management process. The
influences on capital, such as product mix, reinsurance program design, catastrophe exposure, investment strategy, profit margins
and capital structure, are all assessed using dynamic financial analysis modelling.
An important influence on IAG's capital level is the payment of dividends. IAG targets a dividend payout ratio, measured as a
proportion of cash earnings, within a range approved by the Board (refer to Note 4.4).

G. OPERATIONAL RISK
Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from the actions or behaviours of people, inadequate or failed processes
and systems or from external events.
When controls fail, an operational risk incident can cause injury, damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications or can
lead to financial loss. IAG manages these risks by initiating an appropriate control framework and by monitoring and managing
potential risks. The Risk Committee is responsible for oversight of the operational risk framework and approval of the Operational
Risk Management Policy, and any changes to it. The Board and Group Leadership Team believe an effective, documented and
structured approach to operational risk is a key part of the broader RMF that is outlined in IAG's RMS.
The operational risk framework and supporting Operational Risk Policy and procedures aim to ensure that consistent governance
mechanisms and practices are in place, and that activities undertaken which involve operational risk are assessed and managed
with appropriate regard to the Group's RAS and the achievement of IAG's objectives. The operational risk framework is supported
by aligned frameworks, policies, standards and procedures for key aspects of operational risk. For example, fraud and business
continuity frameworks and policies and procedures are in place, as are various other operational risk policies.
Management and staff are responsible for identifying, assessing and managing operational risks in accordance with their roles and
responsibilities.
H. REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE RISK
Regulatory and Compliance Risk is defined as the risk of legal, regulatory or reputational impacts arising from failure to manage
compliance obligations, or failure to anticipate and prepare for changes in the regulatory environment. IAG engages with regulators
and regularly monitors developments in regulatory requirements to support ongoing compliance. In recent times, the Group has
observed an increase in the frequency and scale of regulatory reviews, particularly in relation to financial services entities in
Australia and New Zealand.
IAG remains focused on implementing the Australian Government’s legislative change agenda flowing from the Final Report of the
Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry (Royal Commission).
I. CULTURE AND CONDUCT RISK
Culture and conduct risk is defined as the risk that employee behaviours are contrary to our Purpose, our Spirit or our Code of
Ethics and Conduct or do not otherwise meet reasonable community expectations.
IAG’s strategic objective is to be a customer centric organisation underpinned by ethical and sustainable decision-making. IAG
recognises that the mindsets and behaviours of our people will help achieve our objectives and that a culture clearly aligned with
our desired outcomes is fundamental to our success in building a stronger future for IAG and its stakeholders.
IAG continues to be committed to building and maintaining a strong risk culture. IAG is focused on aligning risk culture,
organisational culture and conduct risk and underpinning this with the embedment of Group-wide accountability, reward and
recognition programs. Both organisational and risk culture are measured, monitored and reported regularly to the GLT Risk
Committee, People and Remuneration Committee and Board Risk Committee respectively. Risk specific behaviours are aligned to
IAG's Code of Conduct and Ethics and the Group continues to strengthen its articulation of risk behaviours.
78 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
4. CAPITAL STRUCTURE
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides disclosures on the capital structure of IAG, which demonstrates how IAG finances its overall operations and
growth through the use of different sources of funds, including ordinary equity and debt and hybrid instruments. Reinsurance is
also an increasingly important source of long-term capital for IAG – reinsurance-specific disclosures are included in section 2
insurance disclosures.
The capital that IAG maintains provides financial security to its policyholders, whilst ensuring adherence to the capital adequacy
requirements of industry regulators. IAG also seeks to maintain, and where possible enhance, the overall diversity and efficiency
of its capital structure to support the delivery of targeted returns to shareholders. IAG measures its capital mix on a net tangible
equity basis, i.e. after deduction of goodwill and intangibles, giving it strong alignment with both regulatory and rating agency
models. IAG's target is a capital mix of ordinary equity (net of goodwill and intangibles) at 60-70% and debt and hybrids at 30-40%.

For 2019, capital instruments above cannot be reconciled to the regulatory capital section of Note 3.1 due to APRA transitional arrangements.
Instruments issued prior to 1 January 2013 are eligible for inclusion in the relevant category of regulatory capital up to limits prescribed by APRA under transitional
arrangements. Any capital that is ineligible to be included in Tier 1 capital as a consequence may be included in Tier 2 capital to the extent there is residual capacity
within Tier 2 transitional limits. Following the redemption of reset exchangeable securities during 2020, IAG no longer has any securities on issue which are under
APRA's transitional arrangement.
At the reporting date, the Company recognised accrued interest of $1 million (2019: $1 million) which is presented within trade and other payables.

C. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The interest-bearing liabilities are initially measured at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently measured at
amortised cost. Based on market conditions at any point in time, the carrying value of the liabilities may not be representative of
the fair value of the liabilities.
The fair value for all interest-bearing liabilities is calculated using their quoted market price in active markets (fair value hierarchy
level 1), except for the AUD subordinated convertible notes where their fair value is calculated using their quoted market price in a
market that is considered to be lacking sufficient depth to be considered active (fair value hierarchy level 2).

B. STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY (BH)
As part of the strategic relationship with BH, the Company and National Indemnity Company (NICO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
BH, entered into a subscription agreement dated 16 June 2015 (Subscription Agreement). The terms of the Subscription
Agreement were released to the ASX on 16 June 2015 (attached to the Appendix 3B on that date).
I. Anti-dilution right
On entry by the Company and NICO into the Subscription Agreement, the Company granted NICO a right to maintain, by way of a
right to participate in any issue of shares or to subscribe for shares, its percentage interest in the issued share capital of the
Company (Anti-dilution Right) in respect of a diluting event which occurs or is announced after 16 June 2015.
C. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF EQUITY
I. Ordinary shares
All ordinary shares on issue are fully paid and have no par value. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to a vote at a general meeting
of the Company and to participate in the dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of,
and amounts paid on, the shares held.
Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets to the holder. Transaction costs directly
attributable to the issue of equity instruments are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds, net of tax.
II. Treasury shares held in trust
To satisfy obligations under the various share-based remuneration plans, shares are generally bought on-market at or near grant
date of the relevant arrangement and are managed using in-house trusts, one for Australia and one for New Zealand, which are
controlled by IAG. The shares are measured at cost and are presented as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in
profit or loss on the sale, cancellation or reissue of the shares. The shares are derecognised as treasury shares held in trust when
the shares vest or are released to the participant. The total number of treasury shares acquired on-market during the financial year
was 4 million (2019: 7 million) at an average price per share of $7.50 (2019: $7.25).
III. Foreign currency translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve records the foreign currency differences and related net investment hedge arising from the
translation of the financial position and performance of subsidiaries and investments in associates that have a functional currency
other than Australian dollars.
IV. Share-based remuneration reserve
The share-based remuneration reserve is used to recognise the fair value of equity-settled share-based remuneration obligations
issued to employees. The total amount expensed over the vesting period through the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income is calculated by reference to the fair value of the rights at grant date. The fair value of the rights is calculated at the grant
date using a Black-Scholes valuation model and Monte Carlo simulation. The volatility assumption has been set considering the
Company's historical share price. Some of the assumptions are based on historical data which is not necessarily indicative of
future trends. Reasonable changes in these assumptions would not have a material impact on the amounts recognised in the
financial statements.
The Company provides benefits to employees (including senior management and Executives) through share-based incentives to
create a link between shareholder value creation and rewarding employees, and assist with retention of key personnel. The senior
management and Executive share plan arrangements consist of two separate arrangements working together. These two
arrangements are the Deferred Award Rights Plan (DARs Plan) and Executive Performance Rights Plan (EPRs Plan). The People and
Remuneration Committee approves the participation of each individual in the plans.
The obligations under share-based payment arrangements are covered by the on-market purchase of ordinary shares of the
Company which are held in trust. The number of shares purchased to cover each allocation of rights is determined by the trustee
based on independent actuarial advice.

The basic earnings per ordinary share is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of shares
of the Parent on issue during the reporting year. The treasury shares held in trust are deducted, but earnings attributable to those shares are included.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the Parent, adjusted for the finance costs of dilutive convertible
instruments, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, primarily as a result of debt instruments that possess a
conversion feature.

IAG’s franking credit balance has reduced in recent years, owing to past capital management measures, the move to a higher
dividend payout policy and the absence of taxable earnings in Australia (in the tax consolidated group) in the 2020 financial year,
which was influenced by severe net natural peril claim costs and adverse reserving and credit spread effects.
D. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT
A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) operates which allows shareholders with ordinary shares to elect to receive their dividend
entitlement in the form of ordinary shares of the Company. The price of DRP shares is the VWAP, less a discount if determined by
the Directors, calculated over the pricing period (which is at least five trading days) as determined by the Directors for each
dividend payment date.
A copy of the terms and conditions for the DRP is available at www.iag.com.au/shareholder-centre/dividends/reinvestment. The
DRP for the 2020 interim dividend paid on 25 March 2020 was settled with the on-market purchase of 6.4 million shares priced at
$6.58 per share (based on a VWAP for 10 trading days from 24 February 2020 to 6 March 2020 inclusive, with no discount
applied).
E. RESTRICTIONS THAT MAY LIMIT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
There are currently no restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Parent other than:
the payment of dividends is subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 and IAG's constitution;
the payment of dividends generally being limited to profits, subject to ongoing solvency obligations, and under the APRA Level
2 Insurance Group supervision requirements, IAG is required to obtain approval from APRA before payment of dividends on
ordinary shares that exceed the Group’s after tax earnings as defined by APRA;
recent regulatory guidance urging entities to exercise caution around capital distributions in the face of ongoing uncertainty
and heightened economic risk; and
no dividends can be paid and no returns of capital can be made on ordinary shares if distributions are not paid on the capital
notes, unless certain actions are taken by IAG. For further details, refer to Note 4.1.
F. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Provision for dividends is made in respect of ordinary shares where the dividends are declared on or before the reporting date, but
have not yet been distributed at that date.

All derivative contracts are expected to be settled within 12 months.
B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value, which is determined by reference to current market quotes or generally accepted
valuation principles. The investment-related derivatives are presented together with the underlying investments or as payables
when the fair value is negative. The treasury-related derivatives are presented as receivables when the fair value is positive or as
payables when the fair value is negative.
I. Hedge accounting
Hedge accounting may be applied to derivatives designated as hedging instruments provided certain criteria are met. At the
inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply
hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how
the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of
sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it
meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:
there is ‘an economic relationship’ between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
the effect of credit risk does not ‘dominate the value changes’ that result from that economic relationship; and
the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group
actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
Hedge of net investments in foreign operations
The foreign currency exposures arising on translation of net investments in foreign operations are hedged (net investment hedge)
using the spot element of forward exchange contracts and the designation of certain foreign currency borrowings as hedging
instruments. The fair value is determined using observable inputs (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the net investment creates a
translation risk that will match the foreign exchange risk on the spot element of the forward exchange contracts and the foreign
currency borrowings. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying risk of the hedging instruments is identical
to the hedged risk component. Any hedge ineffectiveness may arise when the exposure to the underlying net investment in the
foreign operation falls below the notional amount of the forward exchange contracts and the amount of borrowings designated as
net investment hedging instruments.
Any gain or loss on the net investment hedges relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity, while the gain or
loss relating to the ineffective portion is immediately recognised in profit or loss. Gains and losses accumulated in the equity
reserve are recognised in profit or loss upon the disposal of the foreign operation.
Details of IAG’s activities in relation to hedges in its foreign operations against foreign currency movements are as follows:

During the year, IAG recognised $nil (2019: $nil) gain or loss due to ineffectiveness on derivative instruments designated as net
investment hedges in the profit or loss.
II. Derivatives without hedge accounting applied
For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
Transaction costs for purchases of derivatives are expensed as incurred.
The fair value of the bond futures and share price index futures are measured using a quoted price in an active market (level 1 in
the fair value hierarchy), whilst the fair value of the interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts are determined
using observable inputs (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).
5. OTHER BALANCE SHEET DISCLOSURES
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides disclosures on other components of IAG's financial position, including:
Goodwill and intangible assets – these balances primarily relate to the difference between the total consideration paid and
the net tangible assets acquired in relation to past business acquisitions as well as internally developed capitalised software.
These assets support the generation of future earnings and are subject to impairment testing, with finite useful life intangible
assets also subject to amortisation. For example, an impairment will arise if future earnings can no longer support the
carrying value of the assets in question.
Income tax – the note summarises both the comprehensive income (profit or loss and other comprehensive income) and
balance sheet items related to income tax. The profit or loss disclosure includes a reconciliation between the income tax
expense reported and the prima facie amount when applying the Australian company tax rate (30%). The balance sheet
disclosure focuses on deferred tax balances, which arise due to timing differences between the accounting treatment of
taxable income or expenses and the treatment adopted by the relevant tax authority. For example, IAG recognises a deferred
tax asset in relation to the earthquake losses incurred by its New Zealand operations since the 2011 financial year. This
asset is expected to unwind over time as the tax benefit recognised for accounting purposes is used to offset future taxable
income.
Provisions –historically this balance has primarily included employee-related costs, for example an annual leave entitlement
representing amounts owing to employees at the balance date based on past service. During the current financial year a
customer refund provision has also been recognised.
Leases – the note provides information on the effect that leases have on the financial position, financial performance and
cash flows of IAG.

E. IMPAIRMENT
An impairment charge is recognised in profit or loss when the carrying value of the asset, or Cash-Generating Unit (CGU), exceeds
the calculated recoverable amount. The impairment charge for goodwill cannot be subsequently reversed, whereas for identified
intangibles the charge can be reversed where estimates used to determine the recoverable amount have changed. For assets with
indefinite useful lives, which include goodwill, the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets is reviewed for impairment at
each reporting date, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The carrying
amounts of intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date by determining whether there is an
indication that the carrying values may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the asset is tested for impairment. For further
details on the impact from COVID-19 refer to Note 1.2.
I. Impairment testing of goodwill
For the purpose of impairment testing goodwill is allocated to CGUs. The recoverable amount of goodwill is determined by value-in-
use calculations, which estimate the present value of future cash flows by using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessment of the risks specific to the CGUs. The carrying value of identified intangible assets is deducted from the value
generated from the cash flow projections to arrive at a recoverable value for goodwill which is then compared with the carrying
value of goodwill. Where an impairment is determined, impairment losses relating to CGUs are allocated first to reduce goodwill
and then to other CGU assets on a pro-rata basis.
Goodwill is allocated to the following CGUs:

86 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The following describes the key assumptions on which management based its cash flow projections to undertake the impairment
testing:
Cash flow forecasts are based on ten-year valuation forecasts for growth and profitability.
Terminal value is calculated using a perpetuity growth formula based on the cash flow forecast at the end of the relevant
valuation forecast period, terminal growth rate in profit or premium and, where appropriate, terminal insurance margin.
Terminal growth rates and insurance margins are based on past performance and management's expectations for future
performance in each segment and country. The terminal growth rate assumptions used in IAG's impairment assessment for
significant CGUs as at 30 June 2020 are: Australian Consumer 4.6% (2019: 4.8%), Australian Business 3.4% (2019: 4.0%) and
New Zealand 3.7% (2019: 3.8%).
Discount rates reflect a beta and equity risk premium appropriate to IAG, with risk adjustments for individual segments and
countries where applicable. The post-tax discount rates used for significant CGUs as at 30 June 2020 are: Australian
Consumer 9.0% (2019: 9.5%), Australian Business 9.0% (2019: 9.5%) and New Zealand 9.6% (2019: 10.1%).
II. Impairment testing of identified intangible assets
Where the recoverable amount is determined by a value-in-use calculation, it involves the use of accounting estimates and
assumptions to determine the projected net cash flows, which are discounted using an appropriate discount rate to reflect current
market assessment of the risks associated with the assets or CGU. A description of the nature of significant intangible assets is
provided below:
An impairment charge for capitalised software is incurred if there is evidence of obsolescence or significant changes impacting
the manner in which an asset is used or expected to be used or there is evidence indicating the economic performance of the
asset is not as intended by management.
The value of distribution channels is derived from future revenue expected to be generated as a result of the existing
relationships with the broker networks.
Customer relationships represent the present value of future profits expected to arise from existing customer relationships
(developed prior to acquisition of the business). The assumptions for the useful life and customer attrition rates are
determined based on historical information.
Brands represent the revenue-generating value of the acquired brand which is determined using the relief from royalty
method.
F. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
All of the goodwill and intangible assets, other than components of capitalised software development expenditure (internally
generated), have been acquired.
Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration. Internally
generated intangible assets comprise all directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce and prepare the asset to be
capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Goodwill is generated as a result of business acquisition and is
initially measured as the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities
acquired. At the date of disposal of a business, attributed goodwill is used to calculate the gain or loss on disposal.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, including goodwill and certain brands, are not subject to amortisation but to
impairment testing. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period in which the
related economic benefits are expected to be realised. Amortisation rates and residual values are reviewed annually and any
changes are accounted for prospectively. Amortisation is recognised within fee-based, corporate and other expenses in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, whilst the amortisation of capitalised software is recognised within the
insurance profit. The useful lives for each category of intangible assets are as follows:
capitalised software: up to 3 years, with major core software infrastructure amortised over a period up to 10 years;
distribution channels: 5 to 10 years;
customer relationships: 5 to 10 years; and
brands and other: up to 20 years, except for certain brands with an indefinite useful life.

III. Tax losses
The deferred tax assets from tax losses primarily relate to those incurred in IAG’s New Zealand business as a result of the
Christchurch earthquake events that occurred in 2010 and 2011 and the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. In the context of the New
Zealand Income Tax Act, tax losses carried forward do not expire after a particular period and remain available to offset against
future income tax liabilities, provided the 49% continuity of shareholding requirement is met at the listed holding company level.

E. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Income tax
Income tax expense for a reporting year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to
the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in either equity or other comprehensive income.
II. Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are the expected tax recoverable or payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates for
each jurisdiction, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial periods. These include any rates or laws
enacted or substantially enacted at the consolidated balance sheet date.
III. Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases. Deferred
tax assets (deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax assets and unused tax losses) are recognised to the
extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to utilise them before the unused tax losses or credits expire. In
making this assessment, IAG considers historical trends of profit generation.
The following demonstrates other circumstances when no deferred tax asset or liability is recognised:
temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did
not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss;
temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries where it is probable that the
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
temporary differences relating to the initial recognition of goodwill.
IV. Tax consolidation
The Company and its Australian resident wholly-owned subsidiaries adopted the tax consolidation legislation with effect from 1 July
2002 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The Company is the head entity within the tax-consolidated group.

This balance includes an offsetting amount of $21 million in respect of recoverable indirect taxes.
During the current year IAG recognised a gross provision of $290 million for customer refunds, interest attributable to those
refunds and the cost of administering the associated remediation program. This relates to multi-year pricing issues identified by
IAG as part of a review of its pricing systems and processes, which is ongoing (refer also to Note 7.1). A related recovery of $44
million has been recognised from IAG’s whole-of-account quota share arrangements. This recovery has been offset within the
reinsurance premium payable balance. The appropriateness of all underlying assumptions will be reviewed as the remediation
program progresses and adjustments will be made to the provision where required.
The customer refund provision includes $108 million which is expected to be settled after more than 12 months from reporting
date.
D. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Annual leave
Liability for annual leave is recognised at the nominal amounts unpaid at the reporting date using remuneration rates that are
expected to be paid when the liability is settled, including on-costs.
II. Long service leave
A liability for long service leave is recognised as the present value of estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of
services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The estimated future cash outflows are discounted using corporate bond
yields which have terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Factors which affect the
estimated future cash outflows such as expected future salary increases, experience of employee departures and period of service,
are incorporated in the measurement.
90 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
III. Short-term incentive plan
The short-term incentive plan continued in operation during the current reporting year. Under the plan, eligible employees have the
capacity to earn an incentive, calculated as a proportion of their base salary, which is paid in cash each year. The incentive
opportunity is set depending on an employee's role and responsibilities. The majority of employees are on a 10%, 15% or 20% plan.
The incentive payments are determined based on an assessment of individual performance and achievement of a range of Group,
business unit and individual goals.
IV. Superannuation
For defined benefit superannuation plans, the net financial position of the plans is recognised on the consolidated balance sheet
and the movement in the net financial position is recognised in profit or loss, except for remeasurements of defined benefit plans
(experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions), which are recognised directly in retained earnings. For defined
contribution superannuation plans, obligations for contributions are recognised in profit or loss as they become payable.
V. Executive performance rights
Executive performance rights (EPRs) issued after July 2013 are indeterminate rights in that they can be cash-settled or equity-
settled. The choice of settlement is with the Board. Liabilities for the EPRs that are cash-settled are recognised as employee
benefit expense over the relevant service period. The liabilities are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date and are
presented as employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
VI. Restructuring provision
A provision is recognised for the expected costs associated with restructuring where there is a detailed formal plan for restructure
and a valid expectation has been raised in those persons expected to be affected. The provision is based on the direct expenditure
to be incurred which is both directly and necessarily caused by the restructuring and may include termination benefits. It does not
include costs associated with ongoing activities. The adequacy of the provision is reviewed regularly and adjusted if required.
Revisions to the estimated amount of a restructuring provision are reported in the period in which the revision to the estimate
occurs.
VII. Customer refund provision
A provision is recognised for the expected costs associated with customer refunds. In establishing this provision, assumptions
have been made around the quantum of the premium impact for affected customers, the compound interest attributable to the
base premium amount and the costs associated with operating the associated remediation program.

D. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Properties, motor vehicles and equipment of the Group are leased under non-cancellable lease agreements, which are measured
under AASB 16. Most leases are subject to annual review and, where appropriate, a right of renewal has been incorporated into
the lease agreements. There are no options to purchase the relevant assets on expiry of the lease.
For lessees, until the 2019 financial year, leases of property, motor vehicles and equipment were classified as either finance leases
or operating leases. From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date in
which the Group has the right to use the asset. See Note 8.5 for details on the impact of the change.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured as the present value of lease payments over the term of the
agreement that are not paid at that date. Lease liabilities include the following lease payments:
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; and
variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the
commencement date.
The lease term is determined as the non-cancellable period of a lease, considering any options to extend or early terminate the
lease that the entity reasonably expects to exercise.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is
generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee
would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic
environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:
identifies the relevant risk-free yield curve for the country-specific lease and lease term; and
applies a margin to the risk-free rate that reflects the entity-specific credit risk which reflects the rate at which it could borrow
from external markets. The margin has been identified by taking an average of those applied in external markets by entities
with a similar credit rating issuing debt for durations which are consistent with the terms of leases held by IAG.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in
the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease
liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost representing the time value of money is
charged to the profit or loss over the lease period. The discount rate applied is unchanged from that applied at the initial
recognition of the lease, unless there are material changes to the lease.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
the initial measurement of lease liability; adjusted for
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
any initial direct costs; and
restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Payments associated with short-term leases of property, motor vehicles and equipment are recognised on a straight-line basis as
an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases have a lease term of 12 months or less.

NOTE 6.2 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On 19 June 2018, IAG announced it had entered into a sale agreement with Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd. (Tokio
Marine) for IAG’s operations in Thailand and Indonesia. Separate to the transactions with Tokio Marine, IAG agreed the sale of its
interest in AAA Assurance Corporation, based in Vietnam. These consolidated Asian businesses have been identified as
discontinued operations. The sale of IAG's operations in Thailand and Indonesia were completed on 31 August 2018 and 30
September 2019 respectively, with the performance of these operations being included up to their respective completion dates.
The counterparty to the agreed sale of AAA Corporation has failed to receive the necessary regulatory approvals and will not be
proceeding. IAG is assessing alternative exit options for its Vietnam business but still expects to dispose of its economic interest
over the coming twelve months.

E. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a
sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of
their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee
benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the balance sheet.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to
sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in
excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of
the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as
held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be
recognised.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents
a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line
of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued
operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation,
the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been
discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

Other adjustments include IFRS adjustments, foreign exchange revaluations, goodwill, intangibles and share of profit/(loss) from financial statement date to 30 June.
AmGeneral Holdings Berhad is not listed on a stock exchange. It has a 31 March financial year end and is equity accounted using
financial information for the reporting year to 30 June which includes, at least in part, unaudited management results.
C. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
IAG's investments in its associates and joint venture are accounted for using the equity method and are those entities over which it
exercises significant influence or joint control, generally reflecting a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights of
an entity. The investment in associates is initially recognised at cost (fair value of consideration provided plus directly attributable
costs) and subsequently adjusted for the post-acquisition change in the investor's share of net assets of the investee. The
investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee is included in the profit or loss of IAG and disclosed as a separate line in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Distributions received reduce the carrying amount of the investment and are
not included as dividend revenue of IAG. Movements in the total equity of the investee that are not recognised in the profit or loss
of the investee are recognised directly in equity of IAG and disclosed in the statement of changes in equity. The carrying values of
the investments are reviewed annually for impairment.
Where an entity either began or ceased to be an associate during the current financial reporting year, the investment is equity
accounted from the date significant influence commenced or up to the date significant influence ceased.
The financial statements of associates are adjusted where necessary to comply with the significant accounting policies of IAG.
96 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2020
When IAG's share of losses exceeds its interest in the investee, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced to nil and
recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that IAG has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of
the investee.

D. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There are no known material exposures to the Parent or events that would require it to satisfy any guarantees or take action under
a support agreement (2019: nil).
Recognition and measurement
Contingent liabilities are not recognised on the balance sheet but are disclosed where the possibility of settlement is less than
probable but more than remote. Provisions are not required with respect to these matters as it is not probable that a future
sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not reliably measurable. If settlement becomes probable, a
provision is recognised. The best estimate of the settlement amount is used in measuring a contingent liability for disclosure.
E. COMMITMENTS
The Parent has no material commitments (2019: nil).
7. UNRECOGNISED ITEMS
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of those items that are not required to be recognised in the financial statements, but may have
informative content in relation to IAG’s performance or financial position and are required to be disclosed under the accounting
standards. These include:
contingencies – these primarily relate to contingent liabilities that are only recognised in the financial statements when their
settlement becomes probable or the amount to be settled can be reliably measured; and
events subsequent to reporting date – information is included on non-adjusting events, favourable and unfavourable, that
occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. For
example, disclosure of the final dividend in relation to a financial year as it is declared to be paid by the Board subsequent to
the reporting date.
NOTE 7.1 CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, transactions are entered into that may generate a range of contingent liabilities. These include
litigation arising out of insurance policies and IAG's undertakings for maintenance of net worth and liquidity support to subsidiaries.
Such undertakings constitute a statement of present intent only and are not intended to give rise to any binding legal obligation.
The Directors are of the opinion that provisions are not required in respect of these matters, as it is either not probable that a
future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement.
IAG conducts fiduciary activities in the form of investment management as it operates as manager, custodian or trustee for a
number of investments and trusts. The funds managed on behalf of third parties which are not included in IAG's balance sheet had
a fair value as at the reporting date of $419 million (2019: $358 million).
97
In the current financial year, the Group has recognised insurance liabilities for potential COVID-19 claim impacts that remain highly
uncertain. These liabilities have been recognised on a probability-weighted basis in accordance with the relevant accounting
standard (AASB 1023). Given the extent of the related uncertainty, the range of potential financial outcomes is unusually wide. For
further information refer to Note 1.2.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had a contingent liability in respect of the matters outlined below:
As was communicated in an ASX announcement dated 11 April 2019, a representative proceeding has been filed by Johnson
Winter & Slattery in the Federal Court of Australia against IAG subsidiaries, Swann Insurance (Aust) Pty Ltd and Insurance
Australia Limited, on behalf of Jones Asirifi Otchere. Given the stage these proceedings are at, it is currently not possible to
determine the ultimate financial impact this claim will have on IAG, if any. IAG is defending this claim.
As advised on 24 January 2020, a proactive review of IAG’s pricing systems and processes is ongoing. The outcome of this
review, and the scale of any further potential costs over and above the customer refund provision recognised during the
current financial year, are presently uncertain.
To satisfy itself of compliance, and in keeping with a number of other large corporations, IAG is currently undertaking a
retrospective compliance review across a number of its payroll-related procedures. It is too early to definitively determine what
the financial outcome may be.
NOTE 7.2 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Details of matters subsequent to the end of the financial year are set out below. These include:
On 24 July 2020, IAG provided an update on its preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2020. This announcement
confirmed that the Group was expecting gross written premium (GWP) growth of around 1%, consistent with the ‘low single
digit’ guidance maintained throughout the 2020 financial year and an insurance margin of approximately 10% (on a
management reported basis), with the shortfall against prior guidance of 12.5-14.5% largely driven by adverse natural perils,
prior period reserving and credit spread factors. These financial statements are consistent with the preliminary financial
results reported.
On 7 August 2020, the Board determined not to pay a final dividend.
In a COVID-19 context, IAG notes the recent developments in Victoria, including the declaration of a State of Disaster with effect
from 2 August 2020, where the related business effects remain highly uncertain.

There were no financing or investing transactions during the year which have had a material effect on the assets and liabilities that
did not involve cash flows.
D. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, deposits at call and short-term money held in investments, net of
any bank overdraft. Money held in investments is readily convertible to cash within two working days and subject to insignificant
risk of change in value. The majority of the amounts bear variable rates of interest based on daily bank deposit rates. Those
balances bearing a fixed rate of interest mature in less than one year.

Key management personnel (KMP) are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether Executive or otherwise) of that entity. It is important to
note that the Company’s Non-Executive Directors are specifically required to be included as KMP in accordance with AASB 124
Related Party Disclosures. However, the Non-Executive Directors do not consider that they are part of 'management'. The
aggregate compensation disclosed in the table below represents the KMP’s estimated compensation received from IAG in relation
to their involvement in the activities within the Group.

Remuneration does not include premiums paid by IAG for an insurance contract covering current and former Non-Executive
Directors' and Executives' liabilities and legal expenses incurred in respect of the relevant office, as the insurance policies do not
specify premiums paid on behalf of specific individual Non-Executive Directors and Executives and the terms of the contract
specifically prohibit the disclosure of the premium paid. Insurance products provided by IAG are available to all Non-Executive
Directors and Executives on the same terms and conditions available to other employees.

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2015–2017 Cycle
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement
Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, and relevant amending standards
Adoption of the new and amended accounting standards had no material financial impact on the Group. Information on the impact
of AASB 16 is provided below for clarity.
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16, which was issued in 2016, sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of
leases. It replaced the previous accounting requirements for leases, under AASB 117, effective from 1 July 2019 for IAG.
AASB 16 requires lessees to recognise most leases on the balance sheet in the form of a right-of-use asset (ROUA) and a
corresponding lease liability. The standard allows exemptions for short-term leases (less than 12 months) and for leases on low
value assets. For IAG, the main impact of the new standard was on leases which were previously classified as operating leases,
being predominantly property and motor vehicle related leases.
As a result of the adoption of AASB 16, IAG has recognised depreciation expense on ROUAs, on a straight-line basis over the lease
term, and interest expense on lease liabilities.
IAG has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach with the date of initial application being 1 July 2019. Under
this approach, the cumulative effect of adoption is recognised as an adjustment to opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2019,
with no restatement of comparative information.
The modified retrospective approach allows entities to use a number of practical expedients on adoption of the new standard, of
which IAG elected to use the following:
the use of a single discount rate applied to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics;
reliance on previous assessments of whether a lease was onerous immediately before the date of initial application;
for some leases which meet the definition of a short-term lease, non-application of AASB 16; and
the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate a lease.
The effect of adoption of AASB 16 as at 1 July 2019 is as follows:
Assets
Right-of-use assets
Trade and other receivables
Property and equipment
Deferred tax assets
Other assets
Total assets
Liabilities

On transition to AASB 16, the modified retrospective approach provides two options for measurement of the ROUA. The first option
is to measure the ROUA as an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments. The second
option is to measure the ROUA as if AASB 16 had always been applied from the initial recognition of the lease. These
measurement options have been applied on a lease-by-lease basis.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, IAG discounted lease payments using its
incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 2.7%.
B. ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
As at the date of this financial report, there are a number of new and revised accounting standards published by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board for which the mandatory application dates fall after the end of this current reporting year.
None of these standards have been early adopted and applied in the current reporting year.

These changes are not expected to have a significant, if any, financial and disclosure impact.
The changes may have financial impact, however the assessment has not been completed yet. This standard is subject to
change based on revisions issued by the IASB, including the effective date which has been proposed to be changed to 1
January 2023.
The Australian Accounting Standards and amendments detailed in the table above are not mandatory for IAG until the operative
dates stated, however, early adoption is permitted. IAG currently plans to apply the standards and amendments detailed above for
the reporting periods beginning on or after the operative dates set out above.
AASB 17 Insurance Contracts
AASB 17, the new accounting standard for insurance contracts, was adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board on 19
July 2017 subsequent to being issued by the IASB on 18 May 2017. Since the standard was issued, various implementation
matters have been raised by stakeholders and the IASB has considered these concerns and suggested targeted amendments to
the standard. The proposed amendments have been considered by the IASB and industry constituents with a finalised standard
issued on 10 July 2020. One of the changes to the standard, in addition to several others, is an agreed effective date for periods
beginning 1 January 2023, with early adoption permitted.
The first applicable reporting period for IAG is expected to be the year ending 30 June 2024, with the comparative period for the
year ending 30 June 2023. The standard introduces a new general measurement model for accounting for insurance contracts,
with the application of a simplified approach (similar to AASB 1023) permitted in certain circumstances. IAG has completed a
detailed impact assessment of the new standard and has determined that the Group is expected to be eligible to apply the
simplified approach to the insurance contracts issued by the Group (based on the current portfolio mix). It is expected that there
will be substantial changes in presentation of the financial statements and disclosures.
Given the complexity and differing interpretations around key requirements of the standard, the final impact of certain
requirements may not be determined until global interpretations and regulatory responses to the new standard are finalised.

INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF INSURANCE AUSTRALIA GROUP LIMITED
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT
Opinion
We have audited the Financial Report of Insurance Australia
Group Limited (the Company).
In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the
Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position
as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for
the year ended on that date; and
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Regulations 2001.
The Financial Report comprises:
Consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020;
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
Consolidated statement of changes in equity, and
Consolidated cash flow statement for the year then
ended;
Notes including a summary of significant accounting
policies; and
Directors’ Declaration.
The Group consists of the Company and the entities it
controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the
financial year.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial
Report section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Key Audit Matters
The Key Audit Matters we identified are:
Valuation of Gross outstanding claims liability
Valuation of Reinsurance and other recoveries on
outstanding claims
Valuation of Goodwill and Investment in joint venture and
associates
Customer refund provision
Valuation of Gross outstanding claims liability ($10,584 million)
Refer to Note 2.2 of the Financial Report
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
Financial Report of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matter
Valuation of Gross outstanding claims liability is a key audit
matter due to the following factors:
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We involved our actuarial specialists and senior personnel with
deep industry experience. Our key procedures included:
judgement is required by us to consider the central
estimate of the gross outstanding claims liability. This is a
significant estimate as the eventual outcomes of incurred
but unsettled claims at the balance sheet date are
inherently uncertain;
there is limited information available and a greater level of
uncertainty inherent in assessing the Group’s estimations
of claims which have been incurred by the balance sheet
date but have not yet been reported to the Group;
comparing the Group’s actuarial methodologies with the
methodologies applied in the industry, prior periods and the
requirements of accounting standards;
obtaining an understanding of the Group’s governance
processes, including Reserving Committees and actuarial
control cycles for the valuation of the outstanding claims
liabilities;
KPMG, an Australian partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG
International”), a Swiss entity. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
103
judgement is required when considering the Group’s
application of historical experience of claims development
to determine current estimates, including the greater
variability between the original estimation and the ultimate
settlement of claims where there is a long time delay
between the claim being incurred and the ultimate
settlement. Examples include claims arising from Workers’
Compensation, Liability, Compulsory Third Party (CTP) and
the main Canterbury earthquakes of September 2010 and
February 2011;
claims estimation uses an actuarial modelling process
which involves complex and subjective actuarial
methodologies, as well as judgements and assumptions
about future events and developments, both within and
external to the Group. Actuarial assumptions include loss
ratios, claim frequency and average size of claims, and
allowance for future claims inflation. Changes in
methodologies, judgements and assumptions can have
significant implications to the quantification of outstanding
claims liabilities, as outlined in Note 2.2(E). Specific to the
current environment, COVID-19 has caused significant
disruption across Australia and New Zealand. As a result
claims activity through the period may not be
representative of future claims activity and judgement is
required when considering the use of recent experience to
determine outstanding claims liabilities;
judgement is required to assess the Group’s estimation of
the probability of claims arising from circumstances
connected with the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes
interpretation of policy wordings, estimation of potential
losses on a probability-weighted basis and the probable
timing of the emergence of such potential claims;
the Canterbury earthquake claims require judgement and
technical actuarial expertise to evaluate the Group’s
attribution of claims costs between the September 2010
and the February 2011 Canterbury earthquake events;
judgement is required to assess the Group’s estimation of
the periods the claims are expected to be settled in;
the estimation of claims at year end relies on the integrity
of the underlying data, including claim payments and
individual estimates of unsettled claims, which is gathered
from a number of different systems; and
outstanding claims includes statistically determined risk
margins developed by the Group to make allowance for the
inherent uncertainty in estimating ultimate claim
settlements. The risk margins are included to achieve a
specified probability of adequacy for the total outstanding
claims reserves. This is an area of significant complexity
and judgement for us.
We involved actuarial specialists to supplement our senior audit
team members with deep industry experience in assessing this
key audit matter.
evaluating the actuarial methodologies and the
assumptions including loss ratios, claim frequency and
average size of claims, ultimate claims costs and allowance
for future claims inflation applied in the previous reporting
period by comparing the actual claims development to the
prior year claims liability estimate. We used the
information to assess the current year’s actuarial
assumptions applied in the valuation;
challenging key actuarial assumptions by comparing these
to our expectations based on the Group’s historical
experience, our industry knowledge and externally
observable trends (e.g. APRA and regulatory statistics);
evaluating the Group’s assessment of COVID-19 on
insurance liabilities including key judgements in relation to
potential claims arising from circumstances connected with
the COVID-19 pandemic;
evaluating the attribution of claims cost to Canterbury
earthquake events, by comparing these to our expectations
based on the Group’s historical experience, our industry
knowledge and externally observable trends;
considering judgements by the Group to estimate the
period in which the claims will be settled by analysing
historical payment patterns and any significant changes;
assessing the risk margin parameters for significant
portfolios to external sources of data including published
statistics (e.g. APRA-published data), prior periods and our
industry knowledge;
critically evaluating the Group’s judgment in the execution
of the outstanding claims liability calculations by comparing
the overall results to our expectations based on the Group's
historical experience, our industry knowledge and externally
observable trends (e.g. listed competitors);
for certain classes of business we independently projected
the gross outstanding claims liability by applying our own
actuarial methodologies and selecting assumptions for
those methodologies. We used this re-projection to
compare our results to the Group’s estimates and
challenge any significant differences;
our procedures for testing key inputs such as claim
payments and estimates of unsettled claims into the
valuation, financial records and controls included:
testing accounting and actuarial controls, such as
reconciliations of key data. We involved our IT
specialists for testing data integrity risks within the
claims process and claims systems;
testing key controls (e.g. reconciliations, limits of
authority or segregation of duties) within the
estimation of claims case estimates and claims
payments;
testing samples of claims case estimates and paid
claims to third party evidence (such as quotes or
invoices); and
assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
Valuation of Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims ($6,069 million)
Refer to Note 2.2 of the Financial Report
The key audit matter
The valuation of reinsurance and other recoveries on
outstanding claims is a Key Audit Matter as:
reinsurance and other recoveries are quantified from
claims case estimates, paid claims data and estimates of
ultimate claims settlement amounts;
How the matter was addressed in our audit
In addition to the audit procedures undertaken to assess the
valuation of gross outstanding claims liability above, our
procedures included:
testing a sample of key controls for entering reinsurance
arrangements;

KPMG, an Australian partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG
International”), a Swiss entity. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
the Group has extensive reinsurance arrangements
designed to protect its aggregate exposure to catastrophic
claim events; and
the Group also has a range of significant reinsurance
contracts, including the whole-of-account quota share
arrangements, the catastrophe excess of loss program,
adverse development covers in the form of excess of loss
contracts, and other quota share arrangements.
Our consideration of the accounting treatment across multiple
contracts, assessment of recoverability in line with the
reinsurance agreements (including those pertaining to the
claims liabilities connected with the COVID-19 pandemic), the
assessment of counterparty credit worthiness and capital
strength requires significant effort by our senior personnel.
evaluating a sample of reinsurance recoveries held to
underlying contracts to assess the existence of cover the
contracts provide. We selected our sample across different
arrangements and contract types. We also tested the
appropriateness of the recognition of the reinsurance
recoveries held (including those pertaining to the claims
liabilities connected with the COVID-19 pandemic) in the
financial statements, with reference to accounting
standards and our expectations based on past experience
and our industry knowledge;
evaluating a sample of reinsurance recoveries for whole-of-
account quota share contracts. We referred to the key
terms of the reinsurance contracts, and applied them to the
Group’s underlying claims estimates and paid claims data
as tested above to recalculate the reinsurance and other
recoveries due. These independently generated results
were compared to the amounts recognised by the Group;
assessing the recoverability of balances owed by reinsurer
counterparties by considering their credit worthiness and
capital strength based on external sources of information,
payment history of amounts and evaluation of any
indicators of disputes with counterparties; and
assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
Valuation of Goodwill ($2,862 million) and Investment in joint venture and associates ($351 million)
Refer to Notes 5.1 and 6.5 of the Financial Report
The key audit matter
Valuation of goodwill and investment in joint venture and
associates is a Key Audit Matter as:
How the matter was addressed in our audit
With the assistance of our valuation specialists, our procedures
included:
judgement is involved by us in assessing the cash-
generating units identified by the Group;
our evaluation of potential impairment involves applying
judgement by us in relation to the Group’s forecast cash
flows and key forward looking assumptions. Instances
where judgement is required by us include discount rates,
risk premium, growth rates, profit measures and terminal
growth rates. We focused specifically on those cash-
generating units and associates where there were potential
impairment indicators (e.g. performance compared to
budget);
the Group uses complex discounted cash flow models to
perform their annual testing of goodwill for impairment.
The models use adjusted historical performance, and a
range of internal and external sources as inputs to the
assumptions. Complex modelling, particularly those
containing highly judgemental allocations of corporate
costs to cash-generating units, using forward-looking
assumptions tends to be prone to greater risk for potential
bias, error and inconsistent application. These conditions
necessitate additional scrutiny by us, in particular to
address the objectivity of sources used for assumptions,
and their consistent application; and
significant judgement was required as a result of the
current COVID-19 environment. COVID-19 has caused
significant disruption across the countries in which the
Group operates. As a result there is increased judgement in
forecasting cash flows and assumptions used in the
discounted cash flow models.
We involved valuation and IT specialists to supplement our
senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter.
evaluating the Group’s determination of their cash-
generating units based on our knowledge of the business,
and understanding of the industries in which the Group
operates, against the accounting standard requirements;
performing sensitivity testing, using the Group’s models, to
evaluate the impact of varying key assumptions such as
growth rates and discount rates within a reasonably
possible range. This enabled us to critically challenge the
Group’s quantification of assumptions and focus our
procedures to the most sensitive assumptions;
assessing the Group’s key assumptions used in the
discounted cash flow models such as discount rates, risk
premium, growth rates, profit measures and terminal
growth rates by comparing them to external, observable
metrics (e.g. GDP growth and inflation including forecasts
provided by Oxford Economics and IBIS World), historical
experience, our knowledge of the markets, and current
market practice;
considering the appropriateness of the discounted cash
flow methodology applied by the Group to perform the
annual test of impairment against the requirements of the
accounting standards;
comparing the forecast cash flows contained in the
discounted cash flow models to Board reviewed budgets
and business plans; assessing the accuracy of past budgets
to actual cash flows in order to challenge the Group’s
current forecasts;
considering and challenging the Group’s assessment of the
impact of COVID-19 on cash flows and assumptions as well
as its assessment of a likely recovery period. As part of our
sensitivity testing and assessment of model assumptions
detailed above, we included specific analysis of reasonably
possible impacts of COVID-19 specific to each CGU;
comparing the valuations for a sample of joint ventures and
associates to external and observable valuations for broadly
similar enterprises, and investigating significant outliers;

Customer refund provision ($270 million)
Refer to Note 5.3C to the Financial Report
assessing the Group’s allocation of corporate costs to the
forecast cash flows contained in the value-in-use model,
based on the requirements of the accounting standard and
our understanding of the business;
involving our specialists, we evaluated the internally
prepared discounted cash flow model. This included:
assessing the valuation approach and methodology
against market and industry practices and accounting
standards; and
assessing the integrity of the models used, including
the accuracy of the underlying formulas; and
assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
The key audit matter
Customer refund provision is a Key Audit Matter as:
judgement is involved in determining the existence of a
present obligation arising as a result of a past event;
judgement is involved in determining a reliable estimate of
the amounts which may be ultimately paid based on
available information arising from investigations, including
estimates of related costs; and
our consideration of the accounting treatment and
valuation of the provision requires significant effort by our
senior personnel.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our procedures included:
obtaining an understanding of the Group’s processes for
identifying and assessing the financial impact of customer
refund payments and associated project costs to confirm a
present obligation exists in accordance with the criteria in
the accounting standards;
inspecting correspondence with relevant regulatory bodies;
assessing the methodologies applied against both internal
and external information available;
understanding, and challenging the assumptions used
based on available information utilised to identify
policyholders impacted in order to estimate the provision
amounts;
testing completeness by evaluating where exposures may
have arisen based on the Group’s documentation including
on a sample basis, tracing individual policies back to
underlying calculations to determine the appropriateness of
its inclusion or exclusion in the provision amount;
testing a sample of estimated customer refund amounts by
independently recalculating them, using the same
assumptions and methodologies as management and
checking to underlying policy documents;
assessing the nature and quantum of management’s
estimation of project costs against expectations and
industry ranges;
enquiry into the status of the Group’s ongoing reviews into
other pricing system and process matters; and
assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
