FY20 outlook

==> picture [46 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

FY20 Guidance

  • › In constant currency, for FY20 we expect:

  • Management EPS to be down by around 5.0%

  • Excluding UK Mortgage Services (delayed migration of UK loans to CPU platform as previously announced) and the adoption of IFRS16 accounting for leases, we expect Management EPS would increase by around 5.0%

==> picture [46 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Assumptions

  • › We expect margin income revenue to be similar to FY19 ($246.5m base for comparative purposes)

  • › Equity markets remain at current levels and interest rate markets remain in line with current market expectations

  • › Consistent with Investor Day, we expect the delayed migration of UK loans to have an isolated impact to Management EBITDA of $35m

  • › Group tax rate to be (~27.0%) in FY20 compared to FY19 (26.5%)

  • › The weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue to be the same as FY19 i.e. no benefits from the share buy-back included

  • › For constant currency comparisons, FY19 average exchange rates are used to translate the FY20 earnings to USD (refer to slide 59)

  • › For comparative purposes, the base FY19 Management EPS is 70.24 cents

Conclusions

  • › CPU continues to deliver strong results. Management EPS +12.8%, EBITDA +10.2%, EBITDA margins up to 28.4%, up 130 bps

  • › Improved performances from all major business lines, margin income gains and a reduced tax rate

  • › Execution progress in building Employee Share Plans, developing Issuer Services and cost out programs

  • › US Mortgage Services tracking to plan - achieved target PBT margin at 20% towards year end, with scope for sustained growth. UK Mortgage Services migration delay disappointing, one off impact to FY20 profitability. Restructuring to restore profitability in FY21

  • › Conservative Balance Sheet with leverage ratio below mid point of target range (1.75x-2.25x) self funds acquisitions, growth investments and increased shareholder distributions. New AU$200m share buy-back announced today, AU 23 cents final dividend, up +9.5%

  • › FY20 Management EPS is expected to be down around 5.0%, impacted by the delayed migration of UK loans to CPU platform and the adoption of IFRS16. Excluding these factors, Computershare expects to deliver ongoing profitable growth

Statutory results

Statutory EPS 76.57 cents exceeds Management EPS 70.24


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 25.

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 2019 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 2019 was $40.1 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

  • › An accounting gain of $106.4 million was recognised on disposal of the Indian Karvy venture.

  • › Acquisition related expenses of $10.9 million were incurred related to the acquisition of Equatex Group Holding AG (Equatex), including a $6.2 million loss on derivatives used to fix the amount of borrowings needed to fund the acquisition. Additionally, acquisition related expenses of $2.6 million were incurred related to the acquisition of LenderLive Financial Services LLC.

  • › Pursuant to the Australian controlled foreign company rules, a one-off tax expense of $5.8 million has been recognised as a result of the Equatex IP restructure.

  • › An expense of $0.7 million was recognised for re-measurement of contingent consideration payable to the sellers of RicePoint Administration Inc, Capital Markets Cooperative, LLC and Altavera, LLC.

Other

  • › Costs of $14.8 million were incurred in relation to progress of the shared services and technology components of the structural cost-out programmes and the major operations rationalisation underway in Louisville, USA.

  • › An impairment charge of $13.5 million was recognised due to the write-off of Computershare’s investments in SETL Development Limited and CVEX Group, Inc.

  • › A restatement of deferred tax balances due to tax law changes in two US states resulted in a tax benefit of $12.8 million.

  • › 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 $3.1 million.

  • › The Karvy put option liability re-measurement up to the date of disposal resulted in a gain of $1.7 million.

  • › A true-up of the US tax reform impact on foreign subsidiary profits resulted in a tax expense of $1.2 million.

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.
