The company said this outcome primarily reflected $257.7 million of transformation and separation costs, $243.1 million in remediation costs and penalties and the inclusion of the gain sale from the sale of Australian Executor Trustees (AET).
Insignia chief executive, Scott Hartley acknowledged that the pause in dividend payments would be disappointing for shareholders, but said the company had to prioritise strengthening its balance sheet.
