A message from Grant Hackett OAM CEO of Generation LifeKey highlights

Delivering performance well above expectations

The 2022 Financial year continues to deliver performance well above expectations with another record quarter on the prior corresponding period.

In the third quarter of this Financial year, we have achieved inflows into investment bonds of $139m, or a 33% increase, taking our year-to-date total to $484m. This is the highest annual recorded sales result since the inception of the business, with the March quarter delivering the second highest month in inflows in the company's history. Even though there was a sharp decrease of new investment coming into managed equity funds1 due to the increasing volatility on the back of inflationary concerns and the escalating conflict in Europe, we have still received higher inflows and consistent support from financial advisers. In contrast, the Investment Bond market grew by more than 60% from $209m3 to $341m2 compared to the prior corresponding quarter. Pleasingly, we have managed to increase our market share of inflows for the quarter to 54%2.

In some very exciting news, we have officially launched our investment- linked lifetime annuity - Generation Life LifeIncome (LifeIncome). LifeIncome combines the value of investment returns, a lifetime income that is guaranteed, supported by one of the world's largest reinsurers, and the potential for retirees to access or increase social security entitlements. The flexibility of LifeIncome is unparalleled, giving investors and financial advisers the ability to build their own portfolio and switch investments at any time4.

We believe that the first few months of the June quarter will be well spent educating the market and getting LifeIncome on approved product lists ('APLs') for retail distribution. This innovation is a key strategic driver for

Generation Life as we diversify into one of the fastest growing markets that currently has limited solutions.

We remain extremely positive about the momentum of the Group as we enter the last quarter of the Financial year.
