Statutory results


Management results are used, along with
other measures, to assess operating business
performance. The Company believes that
exclusion of certain items permits better
analysis of the Group’s performance on a
comparative basis and provides a better
measure of underlying operating
performance.

Management adjustments are made on the
same basis as in prior years.

Non-cash management adjustments include
significant amortisation of identified
intangible assets from businesses acquired in
recent years, which will recur in subsequent
years, asset disposals and other one-off
charges.

Cash adjustments are predominantly
expenditure on acquisition-related and other
restructures, and will cease once the relevant
acquisition integrations and restructures are
complete.

A full description of all management
adjustments is included on slide 23.

The non-IFRS financial information contained

Management adjustment items Appendix 4E Note 3

Management adjustment items net of tax for the year ended 30 June 2018 were as follows:

Amortisation

  • › Customer contracts and other intangible assets that are recognised on business combinations or major asset acquisitions are amortised over their useful life in the statutory results but excluded from management earnings. The amortisation of these intangibles in the year ended 30 June 2018 was $37.0 million. Amortisation of intangibles purchased outside of business combinations (e.g. mortgage servicing rights) is included as a charge against management earnings.

Acquisitions and disposals

  • › An expense of $7.6 million was recognised for re-measurement of contingent consideration payable to the sellers of RicePoint Administration Inc., Capital Markets Cooperative, LLC and Homeloan Management Limited.

  • › Acquisition related expenses of $5.1 million were incurred, mainly associated with the acquisition of Equatex Group Holding AG (Equatex). Disposal related expenses of $0.4 million were incurred in relation to Karvy Computershare Private Limited (Karvy).

  • › Pursuant to the Australian foreign income accruals taxation rules, tax expense of $5.2 million was booked as a result of signing the agreement to acquire Equatex in May 2018.

  • › A deferred tax expense of $3.8 million was booked with regard to the carrying value of the Indian venture Karvy as it is expected that the value of this investment will be recovered through sale. The associated accounting gain on disposal will only be recognised once the disposal is completed.

Other

  • › A restatement of deferred tax balances due to the US tax reform resulted in a tax benefit of $44.7 million (refer to Appendix 4E note 5).

  • › The put option liability re-measurement resulted in a loss of $13.6 million related to the Karvy joint venture arrangement in India.

  • › Costs of $13.4 million were incurred in relation to the major operations rationalisation underway in Louisville, USA, and the progress of the shared services and technology components of the structural cost-out programmes.

  • › As the remaining forecast cash flows of Computershare’s Voucher Services continue being realised, an impairment charge of $3.6 million was booked against goodwill related to this business. It is expected that the remaining goodwill of $11.8 million associated with Voucher Services will be written off in the coming years.

  • › Derivatives that have not received hedge designation are marked to market at the reporting date and taken to profit and loss in the statutory results. The marked to market valuation resulted in a gain of $0.3 million.

This is primarily driven by the restatement of deferred tax balances due to US tax reform giving rise to a tax credit of $44.7 million. FY18 tax expense also included capital gains tax for the pending disposal of Karvy Computershare Private Limited, in addition to increased withholding tax expense.

Mortgage services key terms

Performing servicing: Servicing of a mortgage which is less than 30 days delinquent. Typically loans that meet the criteria of the Government Sponsored Entities e.g. “Fannie Mae”, “Freddie Mac”.

Non-performing servicing: Servicing of a mortgage that is over 30 days delinquent up to management of the foreclosure process. Typically, non-performing servicing is performed over loans that are part of a securitization arrangement.

Mortgage servicing rights: Intangible assets representing an ownership right to service the mortgage for a fee for the life of the mortgage. The owner of the MSR can either service the loan itself or appoint a sub-servicer to do so.

Servicing advances: The owner of the MSR is required to fund various obligations required to protect a mortgage if the borrower is unable to do so. Advances receive a priority in any liquidation and are often financed in standalone non-recourse servicing advance facilities.

Part owned MSRs

  • › An Excess Strip Sale refers to the sale of a stream of cash flows associated with the servicing fee on a performing MSR. The seller of the servicing strip has the ability to service the mortgage.

  • › An SPV deal refers to the sale of the rights to the MSR and associated servicing advances into an SPV. CPU typically takes a 20% equity stake in the SPV and performs all servicing on the loans via a sub-servicing fee for service relationship.

US mortgage services – revenue definitions

Base fees – Fees received for base servicing activities

  • › Fees are generally assessed in bps for owned or structured deals, while subservicing is usually paid as a $ fee

  • › Subservicing fees vary by loan delinquency or category

Servicing related fees – Additional fees received from servicing a loan

  • › Loss mitigation fees e.g. for loan modifications

  • › Ancillary Fees e.g. late fees

  • › Margin income

Other service fees

  • › Includes valuation, real estate disposition services, loan fulfilment services and CMC Coop Services
