Model update: remain Overweight

We are updating our FRC model to reflect Q1 results, revenue trends and capital return comments from management. As a result, our FY18 adjusted EPS forecast actually decreases by 1.8% as we now adjust for the one-off gain of $11m associated with rebalancing the investment portfolio. Our FY19 and FY20 EPS forecasts are unchanged with sligthly faster revenue growth offset by a more conservative view on provisioning in outer years. Our price target remains at $110 and we retain our Overweight recommendation.
