PEGASUS POST Tuesday November 8 2016 11 EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | NOVEMBER 2016 EQC pays $495 million in the past year to settle Canterbury claims EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson The Earthquake Commission paid out nearly half a billion dollars to settle claims in Canterbury in the year to 30 June 2016, its recently released annual report shows. The annual report includes lots of detail about the work EQC has been carrying out in Canterbury in the past year. Figures in the report show that in the 2015/16 financial year, EQC paid out $495 million in claims for the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. This total was made up of $441 million for residential building claims (both for cash settlements and managed repairs), $46 million for residential land claims and $8 million for contents claims. IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR TO 30 JUNE 2016 EQC PAID OUT $495 MILLION MADE UP OF $441 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CLAIMS, $46 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL LAND CLAIMS AND $8 MILLION FOR CONTENTS CLAIMS. EQC has now spent $9.4 billion (including claim handling expenses, excluding GST) in its response to the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes. This sum has been financed from the Natural Disaster Fund and by the reinsurance cover EQC had negotiated prior to the earthquakes. EQC recovered about $444 million of the cost of Canterbury claims, largely from international reinsurers, in 2015/16. EQC also paid out $25 million for claims other than those from the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes. This includes $4.7 million for claims from the February 2016 earthquakes. AT 30 JUNE 2016, EQC HAD COMPLETED REPAIRS ON MORE THAN 67,000 HOMES, SETTLED 187,000 CONTENTS CLAIMS, COMPLETED CLAIMS FOR LAND DAMAGE TO 66,000 PROPERTIES. In Canterbury, as at 30 June 2016, EQC had completed repairs on more than 67,000 homes, settled 187,000 contents claims and completed claims for land damage to 66,000 properties. “By the end of the year we aim to have cash settled the more than 14,000 claims from the February 2016 earthquakes,” says Chief Executive Ian Simpson. Mr Simpson reaffirmed EQC’s ongoing commitment to Canterbury in 2017. “In the upcoming year, EQC will continue to be present in Canterbury resolving remedial requests on properties where we have managed a repair. There is also a range of administrative and financial tasks to be completed.” AS AT 30 JUNE 2016, EQC HAD PAID OUT $9.4 BILLION IN RESPONSE TO THE 2010-2011 CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES. THIS MONEY CAME FROM THE NATURAL DISASTER FUND AND REINSURANCE. Mr Simpson says that EQC has adequate funds to continue to operate and to meet its financial obligations and settle claims. “There is always a high level of uncertainty when it comes to settling claims. For instance with home repairs, the true extent of damage may only become clear once repairs begin and tradies start ripping off weatherboards or lifting floorboards. IN ADDITION, AS AT 30 JUNE 2016 EQC HAD PAID OUT $4.7 MILLION FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE FEBRUARY 2016 EARTHQUAKES IN CANTERBURY. “Because of this uncertainty, we have built a margin into our estimates of what the Canterbury claims will cost. “In the event that we did need to use all of this margin, the Crown has confirmed in writing that it will meet its obligations under the Earthquake Commission Act to ensure that EQC can meet all its liabilities as they fall due,” Mr Simpson says. The EQC Annual Report shows that EQC received about $280 million in premiums and spent $210 million on expenses, excluding claims payments and claims handling expenses for the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. “Our largest expense was the $150 million in premiums for reinsurance, which currently provides New Zealand with access to $4.69 billion in cover for natural disasters, once the cost of these events exceeds the deductible,” Mr Simpson says. A copy of the EQC Annual Report 2015/16 can be downloaded from the EQC website. Canterbury students head to Chile for earthquake conference Five engineering students from University of Canterbury will be attending the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (16WCEE) in Chile this January thanks to sponsorship from EQC and the NZ Society for Earthquake Engineers (NZSEE). EQC’s Research Strategy and Investment Manager Richard Smith says the sponsorship goes partway to supporting students and practitioners to attend the conference, which is the preeminent gathering of engineers involved in seismic resistant design. “WCEE is to earthquake engineers what the Olympics are to sport. This opportunity gives these students exposure to ideas and knowledge from around the globe as well as the chance to forge international connections that will be of value to their research and to New Zealand. “EQC plays an important role in funding and facilitating research about natural hazard risk. Part of that is making sure we have researchers within New Zealand who have the capability to undertake that research.” Mechanical engineering PhD student Jarrod Cook says the chance to attend 16WCEE will be invaluable. “I’m exploring ways a ratcheting, tension-only device can reduce the motion experienced by buildings during an earthquake, and therefore limit the damage and impact to people as well as enabling buildings to stay open after the event. WCEE is the premier conference in earthquake engineering so this is a great way to share my ideas, get critical feedback and see what others are doing.” WCEE is held every four years and provides attendees with the opportunity for a global exchange of knowledge, ideas, research results and practical experience. As well as students from Canterbury, EQC and NZSEE are jointly sponsoring the attendance of five students from Auckland University and four industry representatives from across New Zealand.
