Explanation of revenue (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

Total revenue from continuing operations for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $2,277.3 million, a decrease of 2.9% over the corresponding period. Margin income declined $47.1 million as a result of global interest rate cuts throughout the year driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the UKAR fixed fee reduced by $42.3 million. Excluding these two items, revenues increased $20.6 million over the prior year.

Excluding margin income, Issuer Services revenues decreased primarily due to lower shareholder activity in the USA, whilst transactional activity for Stakeholder Relationship Management was also lower relative to FY19. This has been partly offset by an increase in corporate actions activity in Hong Kong and Australia.

Employee Share Plans revenues marginally increased reflecting annualised contribution from Equatex partly offset by lower transactional activity given the volatility in equity market conditions in the second half of the year. Voucher Services revenues also declined due to reduced parent numbers, reflecting the ongoing run-off of this business line.

Mortgage Services revenues increased due to continued growth in the servicing portfolio, higher co-issue and ancillary fees in the US, in addition to an annualised contribution from the LenderLive acquisition. This is partly offset by the reduction in the UKAR fixed fee and book run-off in the UK.

Excluding the revenue contribution from Karvy in FY19, Business Services revenue was modestly down against the prior comparative period. This was driven by lower Class Actions volumes partly offset by increased activity in the Bankruptcy business in the second half and underlying growth in Corporate Trust.

A weaker British pound, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar relative to the prior period reduced the translated revenue contribution from those regions.

Explanation of profit/(loss) from ordinary activities after tax (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

Net statutory profit after tax attributable to members was $232.7 million, a decrease of 44% over the corresponding period. Excluding the gain on disposal of Karvy of $106.5 million recorded in the prior year, statutory profit after tax decreased $79.7 million, 26% down over the corresponding period. A decline in margin income due to lower global interest rates together with the reduction in the UKAR fixed fee has been partly negated by growth in US Mortgage Services, Corporate Actions and Bankruptcy.

COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 (Previous corresponding period year ended 30 June 2019) RESULTS FOR ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET

Costs were up primarily due to higher amortisation from a larger owned MSR portfolio in US Mortgage Services. FY20 includes annualised costs for LenderLive and Equatex. This has been offset by the disposal of Karvy, lower temporary staff and travel costs together with the first year benefits from the cost out program in the UK mortgage services business.

The Group’s effective tax rate was higher than the prior period due to favourable one-off events in the year ended 30 June 2019 and the current period’s profit mix with more profits recorded in countries with higher tax rates.

The impact of AASB 16 adjustments on statutory net profit after tax was immaterial.

Explanation of net profit/(loss) (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

Explanation of dividends (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

The following dividends have been paid, declared or recommended since the end of the preceding financial year:

Ordinary shares

A final dividend in respect of the year ended 30 June 2019 was declared on 14 August 2019 and paid on 16 September 2019. This was an ordinary dividend of AU 23 cents per share, franked to 30%, amounting to AUD 124,864,490 ($83,864,241).

An interim dividend was declared on 12 February 2020 and paid on 19 March 2020. This was an ordinary dividend of AU 23 cents per share, franked to 30%, amounting to AUD 124,380,452 ($83,539,141).

A final dividend in respect of the year ended 30 June 2020 was declared by the directors of the Company on 11 August 2020, to be paid on 14 September 2020. This is an ordinary dividend of AU 23 cents per share, franked to 30%. As the dividend was not declared until 11 August 2020, a provision was not recognised as at 30 June 2020.

COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES SUPPLEMENTARY APPENDIX 4E INFORMATION

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This preliminary final report has been prepared in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.3A and the disclosure requirements of ASX Appendix 4E.

This report is to be read in conjunction with any public announcements made by Computershare Limited during the reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules.

The financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes of Computershare Limited and its controlled entities is prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to comply with the changes in presentation in the current period.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year with the exception of those discussed below.

(a) AASB 16 Leases

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019.

a) The Group’s leasing activities

The Group leases various properties, computer equipment, motor vehicles and other items of plant and equipment. Leases vary in contract term, with renewal at the option of the Group. The Group’s leases mainly relate to property.

b) How leases are accounted for under AASB 16

Until 30 June 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and interest expense. Interest expense is recognised on the lease liability using the effective interest method. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

• fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable

• variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate

• any amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees

• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

• 8 -

COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES SUPPLEMENTARY APPENDIX 4E INFORMATION

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

• any initial direct costs, and

• restoration costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Lowvalue assets largely comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases across the Group. In determining the lease term, management considers all the facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

c) Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019.

Computershare has calculated incremental borrowing rates based on the risk-free rate relevant to the country and currency of the lease, considering the nature of the assets to which leases apply and matched to the lease term, plus an applicable margin based on country-specific credit rating assumptions.

The associated right-of-use assets were determined as follows:

• Some of the Group’s largest property leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new standard had always been applied.

• All other right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments and lease inducements relating to that lease recognised as at 30 June 2019.

Where the Group calculated right-of-use assets on a retrospective basis, lease inducements were included in the calculation as if AASB 16 had always applied. As a result, the carrying value of associated lease inducements was reclassified to retained earnings on transition.

Identifying a lease within an arrangement requires exercise of judgement. An arrangement contains a lease where there is an identified asset and the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

When analysing global technology contracts, the Group considered office equipment, servers and other hardware, co-hosting sites, cables and routers included in network contracts and software. No leases have been identified for recognition other than server co-hosting sites, which have been included in the lease assets and liabilities recognised at 1 July 2019.

For leases previously classified as finance leases, the Group recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application.

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has applied the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

• use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics

• 9 -

COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES SUPPLEMENTARY APPENDIX 4E INFORMATION

• use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease

• accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases

• exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

d) Deferred tax on right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the tax bases of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The Group considers the right-of-use asset and lease liability separately when calculating temporary differences and as a result deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised at their gross amounts.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.

For temporary differences on leases with retrospective asset calculations, the difference between the lower lease asset and the higher lease liability recognised on 1 July 2019 was booked to retained earnings.

e) Impact on the financial statements

The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach on transition and accordingly has not restated comparative information. The reclassification and adjustments arising from the new leasing standard are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.

The following table shows the adjustments recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019 for each individual line item:

Under the previous accounting standard, operating lease expenses were included within management EBITDA. Under AASB 16, lease expenses are recognised in the income statement as depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest expense arising from lease liabilities.

• 10 -

COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES SUPPLEMENTARY APPENDIX 4E INFORMATION

Compared to the previous accounting standard, the Group’s income statement and management EBITDA for the year ended 30 June 2020 were impacted as follows:

year ended 30 June 2020 were impacted as follows:

The weighted average number of potential dilutive ordinary shares excludes 1,730,608 performance rights (2019: 744,431) as they are not dilutive for the year ended 30 June 2020. These performance rights could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

No employee performance rights have been issued since year end.

For the year ended 30 June 2020 management adjustment items include the following:

Management Adjustment Items

Management adjustment items net of tax for the year ended 30 June 2020 were as follows:

Amortisation

• Customer relationships and most of 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 2020 was $42.6 million. Amortisation of mortgage servicing rights, certain acquired software as well as intangibles purchased outside of business combinations is included as a charge against management earnings.

Acquisitions and disposals

• Acquisition related expenses of $14.6 million were incurred related to the integration of Equatex and $1.1 million related to the acquisition of Corporate Creations.

• A deferred tax asset of $7.7 million was recognised for tax losses not previously recognised on the Equatex acquisition.

• A true-up of the one-off tax expense recognised as a result of the Equatex IP restructure in the prior financial year resulted in a tax benefit of $1.1 million.

• A gain of $1.0 million resulted from an adjustment to prior period acquisition accounting.

Other

• Costs of $19.9 million were incurred in respect of major restructuring programmes spanning several years and comprising specified significant cost-out initiatives and related workforce reductions. In the current reporting period, these costs related mainly to UK Mortgage Services, Global Issuer Services and Shared Services.

• 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 loss of $2.8 million.

For the year ended 30 June 2019 management adjustment items were as follows:

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION (Appendix 4E item 14.4)

As previously announced, effective 1 July 2019, Computershare has changed its management structure and reporting from a regional to a global business model aligned to its product offering. This is intended to intensify customer focus, identify opportunities for new business and operating efficiencies and enhance the development of new products. Consequently, the change to the organisational structure has resulted in a change to the composition of operating segments.

In accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments, the Group has identified its operating segments to be the following six global business lines:

• a) Issuer Services

• b) Mortgage Services & Property Rental Services

• c) Employee Share Plans & Voucher Services

• d) Business Services

• e) Communication Services & Utilities

• f) Technology Services

Issuer Services comprise register maintenance, corporate actions, stakeholder relationship management, corporate governance and related services. Mortgage Services & Property Rental Services comprise mortgage servicing and related activities, together with tenancy bond protection services in the UK. Employee Share Plans & Voucher Services comprise the provision of administration and related services for employee share and option plans, together with Childcare Voucher administration in the UK. Business Services comprise the provision of bankruptcy, class actions and corporate trust administration services. Communication Services and Utilities operations comprise document composition and printing, intelligent mailing, inbound process automation, scanning and electronic delivery. Technology Services comprise the provision of software specialising in share registry and financial services.

There is a corporate function which includes entities whose main purpose is to hold intercompany investments and conduct financing activities. It is not considered an operating segment and includes activities that are not allocated to other operating segments.

The operating segments presented reflect the manner in which the Group is internally managed and the financial information reported to the chief operating decision maker (CEO). The Group has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the CEO that are used to make strategic decisions and assess performance. The key segment performance measure is based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (management adjusted EBITDA). An additional measure of segment performance is management adjusted EBIT, which reflects management adjusted earnings before interest and tax. Management adjusted EBIT is of particular relevance to Mortgage Services & Property Rental Services as there are significant levels of amortisation included in management earnings for this business line.

Comparative segment information has been restated to reflect the Group’s new operating segments, including revenue by geography. Consequently, the segment information disclosed by geography is not entirely comparable to the information disclosed by geographic segment for the prior year.

Segment revenue

The revenue reported to the CEO is measured in a manner consistent with that of the statement of comprehensive income. Sales between segments are included in the total segment revenue, whereas sales within a segment have been eliminated from segment revenue. Sales between segments are at normal commercial rates and are eliminated on consolidation.

Segment revenue reconciles to total revenue from continuing operations as follows:

Total operating segment revenue and other income Intersegment eliminations Corporate revenue and other income Total revenue from continuing operations	2020 2019 $000 $000 2,703,096 2,795,752 (425,320) (444,660) (495) (5,089)

Management adjusted EBITDA and management adjusted EBIT

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

A reconciliation of management adjusted EBITDA and EBIT to operating profit before income tax is provided as follows:

1 In the 2019 reporting period, the corporate function incurred external operating lease expenses, which were booked and then recharged to the operating segments above EBITDA. In the current reporting period, these operating lease expenses in the corporate function have been replaced by lease-related depreciation and interest expenses under AASB 16. The corporate function continues to recharge these below EBITDA costs to the operating segments as an above EBITDA charge to ensure business performance measures include property costs. Hence, corporate EBITDA is inclusive of the intercompany recharge revenue without the offsetting external lease costs.

2 Management adjusted EBITDA in the current reporting period was impacted by adoption of AASB 16, which resulted in an increase of $47.9 million (refer to note 1).

3 Excluding the impact of AASB 16, finance costs were $59.4 million and management adjusted depreciation and amortisation was $106.4 million (refer to note 1).

Profit before income tax expense The tax expense for the financial year differs from the amount calculated on the profit. The differences are reconciled as follows: Prima facie income tax expense thereon at 30% Variation in tax rates of foreign controlled entities Tax effect of permanent differences: Benefit of tax losses not previously recognised on Equatex acquisition Withholding tax not creditable Prior year tax (over)/under provided One-off tax expense on Equatex IP restructure Effect of changes in tax rates and laws Gain on disposal of Karvy Impairment of investment in SETL True-up of US tax reform impact on foreign subsidiary profits Net other Income tax expense

Australian thin capitalisation

The ATO has previously challenged the inclusion of the Australian Group’s intangible assets in the thin capitalisation calculation used to determine the amount of tax-deductible interest expense. Computershare disagrees with the ATO’s views and intends to vigorously defend its position. This process may take some years to resolve. As the Group does not expect to pay additional tax related to this matter, no provision was recognised as at 30 June 2020. If Computershare is unsuccessful in defending its position, the maximum potential primary tax liability excluding interest is estimated at $20.4 million (2019: $52.1 million).

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

• (a) On 28 February 2020, the Group acquired the assets and liabilities of Corporate Creations International along with 100% of Corporate Creations Intellectual Property LLC, Corporate Creations Management LLC, Corporate Creations Network Inc. [Florida] and its subsidiaries, Management Group Limited and Worldwide Nominee LLC (collectively Corporate Creations), a registered agent business headquartered in Florida, USA. Total consideration was $144.8 million. Corporate Creations provides registered agent and related filing services to over fourteen thousand small, medium and large US Corporations. The acquisition enhances Computershare’s registered agent product suite and capabilities and accelerates Computershare’s growth in the US registered agent market.

This business combination did not materially contribute to the total revenue of the Group. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2019, the total revenue contribution by the acquired entities would have been $33.1 million.

Details of the acquisition are as follows:

Cash consideration Total consideration paid Less fair value of identifiable assets acquired Provisional goodwill on consolidation*	$000 144,817
	144,817 (58,377)
	86,440

*Identification and valuation of net assets acquired will be completed within the 12-month measurement period in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy.

The recognised goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Assets and liabilities arising from this acquisition are as follows:

8. CONTRIBUTED EQUITY (Appendix 4E item 14.2)

On 14 August 2019, Computershare announced an on-market buy-back of shares with an aggregate value of AUD 200.0 million for capital management purposes, which commenced on 3 September 2019.

From 3 September 2019 until 31 October 2019, the Company purchased and cancelled 2,076,275 ordinary shares at a total cost of AU$32.9 million (US$22.1 million) with an average price of AU$15.85 and a price range from AU$15.42 to AU$16.16.

Since the effect of share buy-backs over the years has reduced contributed equity to nil, a reserve has been created to reflect the excess value of shares bought over the original amount of subscribed capital. There has been no issue of ordinary shares during the year ended 30 June 2020.

1On 7 November 2019, Computershare acquired the remaining 34% interest in VisEq GmbH. From this date, VisEq GmbH became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.

11. OTHER SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION (Appendix 4E item 12)

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. The impact of the pandemic globally on both public health and the economy has been unprecedented and its consequences continue to evolve. The Group is very focused on operational resilience and is doing everything possible to ensure the safety of staff and others as well as preventing any material effect on our services. Computershare has well-developed plans for dealing with incidents, including sickness and pandemics. In response to the crisis work from home measures were deployed for 92% of the workforce, with minimal impact to operations.

For further information on the impact of COVID-19 and Computershare’s response, refer to Management Presentation. The Group did not benefit materially from government grants or subsidies as a result of COVID-19 response measures. Computershare did not carry out any unplanned material workforce reductions nor did it need to raise additional equity as a result of the pandemic.

13. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS (Appendix 4E item 8)

Computershare operates a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) which provides eligible shareholders with the opportunity to elect to take all or part of dividends in the form of shares in accordance with the DRP plan rules. Shares are provided under the plan free of brokerage and other transaction costs and will rank equally with all other ordinary shares on issue.

The DRP will apply to the final dividend declared on 11 August 2020 in respect of the FY20 financial year. Applications or notices received after 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on 20 August 2020 will not be effective for payment of this final dividend but will be effective for future dividend payments.

The DRP price for the final dividend will be equal to the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average market price (rounded to the nearest cent) of all shares sold through a normal trade on the ASX automated trading system during the DRP pricing period for this dividend, being 24 August 2020 to 4 September 2020 (inclusive). No discount will apply to the DRP price.
