Explanation of revenue (Appendix 4E item 2.6)
Total revenue for the year, including discontinued operations, decreased $183.2 million to $3,114.6 million (2024: $3,297.8 million including discontinued operations) driven by the disposal of the US Mortgage Services (US MS) business, which was sold in May 2024. This generated $325.0 million in total revenue in the prior period, of which $55.9 million related to margin income.
Net of the sale of US MS, total revenue from continuing operations for the year increased $141.8 million (4.8%) to $3,114.6 million (2024: $2,972.8 million from continuing operations). This growth was driven by higher core fees of $89.4 million. Event and transactional revenue increased by $72.0 million whilst margin income reduced, by $19.5 million.
Key business movements from continuing operations, excluding margin income, were as follows:
-
Issuer Services revenues increased $57.9 million (6.0%), reflecting improvement across all aspects of the business - Registry Maintenance, Stakeholder Relationship Management, Corporate Actions and Governance Services.
-
Corporate Trust revenue grew $43.8 million (8.5%) due to stronger market activity driving new business, including higher client balances in Money Market Funds.
-
Employee Share Plans revenues rose $57.2 million (14.1%) reflecting new client fees and higher participant trading activity.
Margin income from continuing operations was down $19.5 million (down -2.5%) relative to the prior period, with rising balances offsetting the impact of lower interest rates in all our major markets. Year on year average balances rose $2.2 billion to $29.9 billion, primarily due to greater volumes in North American Corporate Trust, whilst an increase in general dividend levels led to slightly higher balances in the Issuer Services business.
A stronger British pound relative to the prior period increased the translated USD revenue contribution from the UK, whilst a weaker Canadian and Australian dollar decreased the translated USD revenue contribution from those regions. The FX movements of major currencies (GBP, CAD and AUD) increased revenues by $11.2 million.

RESULTS FOR ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET
Explanation of profit/(loss) from ordinary activities after tax (Appendix 4E item 2.6)
Profit after income tax from continuing operations attributable to members was $605.0 million, an increase of 22.8% over the corresponding period.
Revenue from continuing operations was higher than the corresponding period, primarily due to fee revenue growth across all our key business lines - Issuer Services, Corporate Trust and Employee Share Plans. Margin income was down compared to the prior reporting period with the impact of lower rates being partially offset by higher balances.
Total expenses from continuing operations were $44.0 million higher (up 1.9%). Operating expenses increased in line with higher revenues and business volumes and were further impacted by the full-year inclusion of Solium Capital UK (12 months in the current period vs. 7 months previously), as well as the acquisitions of Ingage IR Limited, CMi2i Limited, and BNY Trust Company of Canada. General inflation also contributed to the increase. There was an increase in restructuring costs due to a programme that was launched in FY24 to drive digitisation in operational processes as well as identifying efficiencies and optimisation opportunities in our corporate overhead base to tackle stranded costs arising from recent disposals. This was partly offset by lower integration costs in the US Corporate Trust business due to the completion of the Transitional Services Agreement in November 2023. The prior year also included an adjustment to contingent consideration related to the FY23 sale of KCC business. Lastly, borrowing costs declined, driven by both lower debt levels and reduced interest rates.
The Group’s effective tax rate from continuing operations at 23.4% was lower than FY24’s rate of 28.9%, primarily driven by a change in sales sourcing methodology for US state tax purposes following the sale of US CLS and KCC and a tax capitalisation of prior year costs to align tax relief to periods when the related income is earned.

Management basic earnings per share
Management basic earnings per share excludes certain items. Management adjusted results are used, along with other measures, to assess operating business performance. The Group believes that exclusion of certain items provides better analysis of the Group’s performance on a comparative basis and provides a better measure of underlying operating performance. The net profit used in the management earnings per share calculation is adjusted for management adjustment items net of tax.
For the year ended 30 June 2025 management adjustment items include the following:
| Amortisation Amortisation of intangible assets Acquisitions and disposals Sale of US MS Acquisition related integration expenses Other Major restructuring costs Marked to market adjustments - derivatives Margin income hedge modification Total management adjustment items |

COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES SUPPLEMENTARY APPENDIX 4E INFORMATION
Management Adjustment Items
Management adjustment items net of tax for the year ended 30 June 2025 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 2025 was $70.6 million after tax. Amortisation of certain acquired software as well as intangibles purchased outside of business combinations is included as a charge against management earnings.
Acquisitions and disposals
-
Finalisation of the disposal accounting for the prior period’s sale of the US MS business resulted in a net gain of $2.0 million. Additionally, a tax benefit of $7.2 million was recognised in the current reporting period as an adjustment to a tax position recorded in FY24 associated with this disposal.
-
Acquisition-related integration expenses are associated mainly with the ongoing integration of Equatex including a rollout of the previously acquired software ($25.9 million) and integration of the Corporate Trust business ($14.0 million).
Other
-
Costs of $60.7 million were incurred in respect of major restructuring programmes spanning several years. These include a business-wide cost-out program announced in FY24, the implementation of new global enterprise resource planning and human capital management platforms, Issuer Services digitisation, mortgage services cost-out programs, treasury transformation and continued property rationalisation.
-
Revaluation of derivatives that have not received hedge designation or the ineffective portion of derivatives in hedge relationships is taken to profit or loss in the statutory results. The impact in the current reporting period was a loss of $0.1 million.
-
The Group extended the duration of certain interest rate swaps hedging margin income balances. The modification was accounted for as a derecognition of the cash flow hedge relationship, which resulted in a significant management-adjusted charge against income in the current period. There will be additional accounting impacts in the coming years associated with this modification, initially accounting charges in the next few years followed by offsetting accounting gains in the later years until maturity of the renewed portfolio in the year ending June 2034. These hedge-related accounting impacts are non-cash and will fully unwind over the life of the derivative portfolio resulting in a nil net impact to the profit and loss over the term. All cash-based impacts resulting from the hedging strategy (derivative settlements) are included in the management earnings as per the standard practice. The impact in the current reporting period was a loss of $19.9 million.
-
For the year ended 30 June 2024 management adjustment items include the following:
| Amortisation Amortisation of intangible assets Acquisitions and disposals Loss on sale of US MS Acquisition related integration expenses Contingent consideration remeasurement Acquisition and disposal related expenses Other Major restructuring costs Marked to market adjustments – derivatives Total management adjustment items |

Segment revenue
The revenue reported to the CEO is measured in a manner consistent with that of the statement of comprehensive income. Intersegment revenue is comprised of activity between operating segments, where the underlying nature of such activity is external revenue. This excludes activity within an operating segment. Sales between segments are at normal commercial rates and are eliminated on consolidation.
Segment revenue reconciles to total revenue from continuing and discontinued operations as follows:
