Eskom Finance Company SOC Limited group |
 |
Eskom established the Eskom Finance Company (EFC) in 1990 primarily to enable its employees
to have access to home loan finance whilst optimising home ownership costs to both Eskom and
its employees. The company is mandated to:
| • |
Finance employee home loans at competitive rates |
| • |
Educate its employees on responsible home ownership and financing |
| • |
Administer interest rate and rental subsidies on behalf of Eskom |
| • |
Assist Eskom to develop and implement its housing policy |
Operating highlights
| • |
Successful refinancing of R597 million securitised debt. Bids of R1.69 billion were received, representing 2.83 times the subscription rate |
| • |
Lower than expected funding rates resulted in an improved financing margin |
Operating challenges
| • |
In order to comply with the funding limits set by the ultimate shareholder, the company placed
restrictions on granting certain loans. This resulted in the loan growth falling short of the target |
| • |
There is uncertainty about the future of the company in light of the shareholder’s expectation
that Eskom should continue to dispose of EFC in line with the previous Cabinet decision |
| • |
Controlling reputational and financial risks in light of the liquidity challenges |
Future focus areas
| • |
Finding and implementing an appropriate disposal solution that will mitigate the impact of the
disposal to EFC stakeholders |
| • |
Managing the liquidity challenges whilst continuing to administer Eskom’s commitment to the
employees’ conditions of service |
