CCT earnings accretive on an annualised basis

  • › Earnings skewed towards 2H with full six months CCT contribution and typical seasonal impacts.

  • › Weighted average number of shares (WANOS) of 540,879,593 in FY21 and 603,729,336 in FY22

Notes: For comparative purposes FY21 Margin Income is $107.0m , Management EBIT ex Margin Income is $339.1m and Management EPS is 52.46 cents per share all translated at FY21 constant currency.
