2. Online shopping migration has accelerated

3. Resilient industry and customer support

Key observations from a recent carsales survey on online automotive shopping:

Key observations:

  • COVID-19 has accelerated the migration of offline to online shopping habits with lockdowns forcing shoppers online

  • COVID-19 has resulted in an increase in flexible work arrangements.

  • This migration trend is most apparent for consumers aged 57-75.

SOUTH KOREA KEY FOCUS AREAS

==> picture [100 x 67] intentionally omitted <==

Encar’s Dealer Direct product represents a substantial growth opportunity

The trade-in market is substantial and moving increasingly online

Encar is well positioned to capture market share

  • Trade-ins are more common in South Korea when compared with Australia and other automotive markets.

  • Relatively low proportion of consumer-to-consumer transactions, which is driven by market culture in South Korea.

  • Trade-ins are beginning to migrate online, which makes this a very attractive market for Encar.

  • Encar Dealer Direct is similar to carsales’ Instant Offer product, enabling a private seller to sell their car directly to a dealer at a transparent price, in an efficient manner.

  • Encar currently has low double-digit penetration of online trade-in market but is well positioned to capture additional share given it has some strong competitive advantages:

  • Strong and trusted brand;

  • Largest automotive classifieds audience in South Korea which can leverage to the Dealer Direct product;

  • Large dealer customer network;

  • Unrivalled data assets; and

  • Technology leadership

SOUTH KOREA KEY FOCUS AREAS

==> picture [100 x 67] intentionally omitted <==

Product description and charging model

  • Key difference between carsales’ Instant Offer and Encar’s Dealer Direct product is pricing approach. Dealer Direct price is established via a virtual dealer auction process, whereas carsales determines the Instant Offer price using its own pricing engine.

  • Dealer Direct consumer lists car onto Encar’s auction site and receives up to 20 bids from participating dealers. The highest bidding dealer wins right to contact the consumer and arrange the sale.

  • Successful dealer pays Encar a c.1% success fee of the vehicle’s value as well as a recurring flat monthly fee to participate in auctions.

Focus areas for the next six months

  • Given size and growth of Consumer-to-Business channel, we are planning to increase focus and investment in following key areas:

  • i. Consumer marketing that will specifically target Consumerto-Business channel and also benefit the broader Encar business;

  • ii. Facilitate increasingly seamless consumer application experience through better vehicle specification data and improved photo upload process;

  • iii. Improving dealer pricing behaviour with guidelines and consumer feedback; and

  • iv. Acquiring new dealers onto the Dealer Direct platform, key to generating competitive pricing and high consumer satisfaction levels. The dealer pool has increased significantly with more than double the total number of participating dealers in HFY21 v pcp.

FY21 OUTLOOK

FY21 OUTLOOK

Consolidated Outlook

We forecast moderate Adjusted revenue growth and solid Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted NPAT growth in FY21, assuming a continuation of the current operating environment for the balance of the second half of the year.

This reflects higher operating costs in the second half of FY21 largely due to increased investment in domestic and international growth initiatives and the absence of wage subsidies. We note significant uncertainty remains given the COVID-19 pandemic and make the following specific observations:

carsales Domestic Observations

carsales International Observations[1]

  • Dealer & Private:

  • In January 2021, overall traffic and lead volumes growth was good on the prior corresponding period (pcp).

  • Private listing volumes have recovered in January to preCOVID levels.

  • Instant Offer continues to build scale showing very strong growth on pcp in January 2021.

  • Consistent with H1, tyresales has continued to operate at lower volume levels in January 2021. We expect to deliver similar volumes in H2 FY21 when compared with H1 FY21.

  • Media and new car market:

  • The new car market continues to demonstrate signs of improvement as evidenced by new car sales volume growth in December 2020 and January 2021. This has resulted in some improvement in media revenue run rate against pcp, providing confidence that we can deliver good growth on pcp in the second half.

    • Korea:

      • Key operating metrics of inventory, listing volumes and traffic showed good growth in January 2021 on pcp.

      • We are planning increased investment in key growth initiatives in H2, particularly the Dealer Direct product which has strong momentum. This should positively impact revenue and earnings growth beyond this financial year. In FY21 we expect very good growth in revenue and solid growth in EBITDA.

    • Brazil:

      • Key operating metrics of traffic and leads showed very good growth in January 2021 on pcp.

      • We expect strong growth in revenue[1] and EBITDA[1] on pcp in the second half, supported by the resumption of the regional expansion plan.

  • Domestic Core expenses

  • Anticipating core expenses to be higher in H2 compared to H1 reflecting investment in domestic growth initiatives as well as the absence of wage subsidies.

  • All financial references in the International Observations section are in local currency.

APPENDIX

OVERVIEW OF CARSALES NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION

What is IFRS and non-IFRS financial information?

  • IFRS financial information is financial information that is presented in accordance with all relevant accounting standards.

  • Non-IFRS financial information is financial information that is presented other than in accordance with all relevant accounting standards. For example:

  • Revenue or profit information calculated on a basis other than under accounting standard definitions or calculated with accounting standards and then adjusted e.g. “adjusted”, “underlying” or “lookthrough”.

What non-IFRS financial information does carsales disclose in its half year and year end results presentations?

  • carsales presents reported financial information for its business segments, associates and investments where applicable IFRS financial information exists. The financial

information presented is sourced directly from financial information prepared in accordance with all relevant accounting standards and has been subject to either review or audit by carsales’ external auditors (PwC).

  • In carsales’ investor presentations the company aims to provide equal or greater prominence to IFRS financial information. However, we also present or refer to non-IFRS financial information. Please note, all information labelled “Reported” in this presentation complies with IFRS.

  • Non-IFRS financial information is calculated based on statutory IFRS financial information and adjusted to show either a position excluding significant items which have been removed OR presented based on carsales’ effective equity ownership interest of an entity’s underlying revenue, EBITDA or NPAT.

  • Any non-IFRS financial information is clearly labelled as “underlying”, “Adjusted” or “lookthrough” to differentiate it from reported/IFRS financial information.

  • carsales provides reconciliations on the face of slides, appendices and in footnotes of

presentations in order to allow the reader to clearly reconcile between the IFRS and nonIFRS financial information.

Why does carsales disclose non-IFRS financial information in its half year and full year results presentations?

  • carsales has invested in businesses in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Argentina and has become a global portfolio of online automotive assets. Accordingly carsales management believes that the presentation of additional non-IFRS information in its half year and full year results presentations provides readers of these documents with a greater understanding into the way in which management analyses the business as well as meaningful insights into the financial conditions of carsales overall performance.

  • The Australian Securities and Investment Commission (“ASIC”) acknowledges the relevance of non-IFRS financial information in providing “meaningful insight” as long as it does not mislead the reader.
