Report submitted to the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Monday 26 September 2016. RP-8

RP-8 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT AUGUST 2016

Author: Rodney, Carolyn

Director: Richardson, Craig

Recommendation

That Council:

a approve the variations to the 2016/17 original budget for the month ended 31 August 2016 and note the forecast deficit budget of ($351K) as presented in this report

b note the Responsible Accounting Officer’s reports, in accordance with the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 (Part 9 Division 3: Clause 203) that the financial position of Council is satisfactory having regard to the original estimates of income and expenditure and the recommendations made above

c note Council’s external investments as at 31 August 2016

Executive Summary

· The August 2016 budget variations have resulted in a decrease to the balanced budget that was reported in the July 2016 monthly report to a deficit of ($351K) for the 2016/17 financial year. The unfavourable adjustment is attributable to the final Grants Commission advice being received for the 2016/17 Financial Assistance Grants (FAGs).

· Council experienced a positive monthly investment performance for the month of August and is currently tracking on budget for the full financial year

Report

OPERATING INCOME

Total operating income is 17% of approved budget which is on track to budget for the end of August (this percentage excludes capital grants and contributions). An adjustment has been made to reflect the levy of rates which occurred at the start of the financial year. Excluding this adjustment, operating income received is 63%.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenditure is 17% of approved budget and is overall tracking to budget for the full financial year.

CAPITAL INCOME

Total capital income is 2% of approved budget. Please note that the actual income from capital is influenced by the timing of the receipt of capital grants and contributions relating to the project.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Total capital expenditure including commitments is 32% of approved budget. This is due to the commitments being raised for Bomen Enabling Roads and land purchases of $26 million.

Council’s portfolio is dominated by Floating Rate Notes (FRN’s) at approximately 46% across a broad range of counterparties. Cash equates to 14% of Council’s portfolio with Term Deposits around 39% and growth funds around 1% of the portfolio.

Council’s investment portfolio is well diversified in complying assets across the entire credit spectrum. It is also well diversified from a rating perspective. Credit quality is diversified and is predominately invested amongst the investment grade ADIs (BBB- or higher), with a smaller allocation to unrated ADIs.

All investments are well within the defined Policy limits, as outlined in the Rating Allocation chart below:

Investment Portfolio Balance

Council’s investment portfolio balance has increased from the previous month’s balance, up from $93.2M to $105.8M. This large increase is reflective of Council receiving its first installment of the Financial Assistance Grant during August as well as the August rates installment falling due.

MONTHLY PERFORMANCE

Interest/growth/capital gains for the month totaled $405,537 which compares favourably with the budget for the period of $257,250 – out performing budget for the August month by $148,287. This is attributable to continued strong growth of Council’s Floating Rate Note portfolio. This continues a strong six (6) month period from March to August for Council’s portfolio, outperforming budget for the period by $486,492. This follows a period of lower than budgeted investment returns for January and February 2016.

It should be noted that the capital market value of these investments will fluctuate from month to month and that Council continues to receive the coupon payments and the face value of the investment security when sold or at maturity.

Council’s portfolio performance continues to be anchored by the longer-dated deposits in the portfolio, particularly those locked in above 4% yields. It is to be noted however that the average deposit yield will inevitably fall as some of the longer-dated deposits mature within the next year.

In comparison to the AusBond Bank Bill Index* (+2.22%pa), Council’s investment portfolio in total returned 4.48% for August. Short term deposits returned 2.93%. These funds are utilised for daily cash flow management and need to be available to meet operating and contractual payments as they come due.

* The AusBond Bank Bill Index is the leading benchmark for the Australian fixed income market. It is interpolated from the RBA Cash rate, 1 month and 3 month Bank Bill Swap rates.

Certificate: I hereby certify that all of the above investments have been made in accordance with the provision of Section 625 of the Local Government Act 1993 and the regulations there under, and in accordance with the WWCC Investments Policy adopted by Council on 26 August 2013.
