  • Very strong increase in revenue and EBITDA reflects strong underlying double-digit growth and the consolidation of Trader Interactive and webmotors in FY23

  • D&A largely reflects depreciation of building fit outs and software assets. The high growth is largely due to the inclusion of Trader Interactive and webmotors. The software investment continues to support ongoing growth, which was strong in FY23

  • Net finance cost increase reflects an increased debt balance and a higher average interest rate

  • Profits from associates & NCI largely reflects contribution from webmotors and Trader Interactive as associates. Profit contribution is lower in FY23 vs FY22 because both were equity accounted for a shorter duration in FY23

  • Final dividend of 32.5 cents per share declared, up 33% on pcp. Dividend will be franked at 50%

  • Reported NPAT is higher than Adjusted NPAT largely due to the one-off gain recognised on moving to majority ownership in the US and Brazil

  • M&A costs comprises costs associated with the US and Brazil transactions

  • Impairment largely reflects non-cash impairment of Tyres Group business due to a more challenging operating environment

Refer to footnote 1 on slide 5 for proforma and adjusted financial definitions. FY22 EBITDA and Net Finance cost has been restated for consistent presentation of Finance cost.

  • Australia – excellent revenue and EBITDA result driven by continuing to provide a compelling value proposition for our customers. Reflected in double digit growth across the Private, Dealer and Media revenue segments. Achieved margin expansion whilst continuing to invest in future growth

  • Asia – Good revenue and earnings growth primarily driven by increasing the penetration rate of the Guarantee and Encar Home products in South Korea

  • North America – delivered another excellent revenue and margin result via strong customer acquisition momentum, yield increases through premium product penetration and continuing to demonstrate operating leverage

  • Latin America – this segment comprises Brazil, Chile and Mexico. The strong growth largely derives from the performance in Brazil. The national expansion campaign in Brazil delivered strong growth in customer acquisition and yield increases through premium product penetration

  • Investments – Solid revenue growth in Redbook Inspect and the Tyres Group. Lower EBITDA result due to lower margin in Tyres due to higher freight costs
