-

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Group recorded a profit before tax of $378.9 million for the half-year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: $376.1 million). Total revenue increased to $1,579.4 million (2024: $1,498.8 million) and expenses were up by $66.4 million to $1,206.0 million (2024: $1,139.6 million).
Revenue
Total revenue for the half-year increased to $1,579.4 million (2024: $1,498.8 million). This growth was driven by higher core fees of $49.6 million. Event and transactional revenue increased by $49.7 million whilst margin income (MI) reduced by $19.0 million, due to lower yields partially offset by higher balances.
Key business movements, excluding margin income, were as follows:
-
Issuer Services revenues increased $44.9 million (up 9.5%) driven by improvement across Registry Maintenance, Stakeholder Relationship Management, Corporate Actions and Governance Services.
-
Corporate Trust revenue grew $32.9 million (up 12.2%), due to stronger market activity driving new business, including higher client balances in Money Market Funds. Results for 1H26 also include the contribution from BNY Trust Company of Canada, acquired on 3 March 2025 of $7.9 million.
-
Employee Share Plans revenues rose $23.6 million (up 11.3%), reflecting new client fees and higher participant trading activity.
-

COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS’ REPORT
- Corporate and Other revenues reduced by $2.1 million (down 1.4%) primarily driven by the disposal of the German Communication Services Business in August 2025.
Margin income was down $19.0 million (4.8%) relative to the prior period, with rising balances somewhat offsetting the impact of lower interest rates in all our major markets. Year on year average balances rose $0.7 billion to $30.9 billion, primarily due to greater volumes in Employee Share Plans. US Corporate Trust balances offset lower Canadian balances. In Issuer Services, Corporate Actions balances were slightly reduced owing to lower general activity levels, outside of Hong Kong.
A stronger British pound relative to the prior period increased the translated USD revenue contribution from that region, 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) resulted in a net increase in revenues by $17.6 million.
Expenses
Total expenses were $66.4 million higher (up 5.8%). Operating expenses increased in line with higher revenues and business volumes and were further impacted by 6 months inclusion of Ingage IR Limited, CMi2i Limited, and BNY Trust Company of Canada in FY26. Costs of $37.3 million related to the upcoming disposal of the UK Mortgage Services business, together with an impairment charge of $6.6 million, have been recognised in 1H26. General inflation and higher technology headcount and computer costs also contributed to the increase. Integration related expenses were lower, largely due to the completion of the Equatex program in June 2025. Restructuring costs related to our Cost out programmes are also marginally down as these projects approach their end dates. Lastly, borrowing costs declined, driven by reduced interest rates and lower debt levels.
The Group’s effective tax rate at 25.9% was higher than 1H25’s rate of 23.4%, predominantly driven by UK Mortgage services (UK MS) related disposal costs which were considered non-deductible. The prior year also benefitted from a change in US State Income Tax mix following the sale of the US Mortgage Services business.
Operating cash flows
Operating cash flows decreased by $17.3 million to $336.9 million (2024: $354.2 million) compared to the corresponding period mainly due to timing of payments and other unfavourable working capital movements.
CONSOLIDATED PROFIT
The profit of the consolidated entity for the half-year was $280.4 million (2024: $287.8 million) after deducting income tax and non-controlling interests (NCI).
DIVIDENDS
The following dividends of the consolidated entity have been paid, determined or recommended since the end of the preceding financial year:
Ordinary shares
-
A final dividend in respect of the year ended 30 June 2025 was determined by the directors of the Company and paid on 15 September 2025. This was an ordinary unfranked dividend of AU 48 cents per share amounting to AUD 277.6 million ($183.0 million).
-
An interim dividend was determined by the directors of the Company in respect of the half year ended 31 December 2025, to be paid on 18 March 2026. This is an ordinary dividend of AU 55 cents per share, franked to 30%, amounting to AUD 318.1 million based on shares on issue as at 10 February 2026. The dividend was not determined to be paid until 10 February 2026 and accordingly no provision has been recognised at 31 December 2025.

Acquisition related expenses are mainly for the ongoing integration of businesses acquired in the recent years, offset by the release of a historic acquisition related provision which is no longer required. Net costs related to the integration of the Corporate Trust business were $6.1 million, with smaller amounts associated with the recent acquisitions in the UK, Switzerland and Canada.
-
Disposal of the CCS Germany business resulted in a net loss of $0.9 million.
Other
-
Costs of $26.7 million were incurred in respect of major restructuring programs spanning several years. These include a business-wide cost-out program announced in FY24 addressing stranded costs from recent business disposals. This project includes the implementation of new global enterprise resource planning, human capital and treasury management platforms and the digitisation of a range of front and back-office processes.
-
An impairment charge of $5.0 million was incurred in respect of right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment in UK Mortgage Services on transfer to held-for-sale classification as their carrying amounts were not supported by the expected proceeds from the sale.
-
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 gain of $1.0 million.
-
In a prior period, 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. There are ongoing accounting impacts 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. The impact in the current reporting period was a net accounting loss of $4.3 million. All cash-based impacts resulting from the hedging strategy (derivative settlements) are included in the management earnings as per the standard practice.

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 operations as follows:

8. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE
On 24 September 2025, Computershare entered into an agreement to sell 100% of UK MS business. The sale was completed on 1 February 2026, and the assets and liabilities of UK MS were classified as held for sale at 31 December 2025. This disposal is in line with the Group’s strategy to focus on its three core high quality business lines of Issuer Services, Employee Share Plans and Corporate Trust.
Right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment worth $6.6 million before tax ($5.0 million after tax) were written off in the current reporting period as the carrying amounts of these non-current assets will not be recovered from the sale proceeds. The loss on disposal, which will be recorded in the second half of the financial year is estimated to be in the range of $30 to $40 million before tax.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The measurement hierarchy used is as follows:
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period for identical assets and liabilities. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. This includes inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Such instruments include derivative financial instruments and the portion of borrowings included in the fair value hedge.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments are as follows:
-
Quoted market prices or dealer quotes are used for similar instruments.
-
The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
-
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
-
The fair value of cross currency swaps is a combination of the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date (for the final principal exchange) and the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments (for the basis valuation).
-
The fair value of interest rate swaptions is calculated using the Black-Scholes formula and quoted market prices.
Level 3: Valuation methodology of the asset or liability uses inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). This is the case of deferred consideration arising from business combinations.
The amount of contingent consideration recognised on business combinations is typically referenced to revenue or EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation) targets. The Group estimates the fair value of the expected future payments based on the terms of each earn-out agreement and management’s knowledge of the business taking into account the likely impact of the current economic environment. Contingent consideration amounts are re-measured every reporting period based on most recent projections. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

12. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Legal and regulatory matters
Regulatory, tax and commercial claims have been made against the consolidated entity in various countries in the normal course of business. An inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of such matters exists and they may take some time to resolve. Based on current knowledge of the Group, an appropriate liability is recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position if future cash outflows are considered probable with regard to such claims. The status of the claims is monitored by management on an ongoing basis, together with the adequacy of any provisions recorded in the Group’s financial statements.
Guarantees, indemnities and other contingent liabilities
Due to the repayment of the USD Senior Notes (USPP) (refer to note 9), the associated guarantee has been reduced to $350 million (June 2025: $550 million). There have been no other material changes to guarantees, indemnities and other contingent liabilities since the last reporting date.

There have been no material changes to commitments since the last reporting date.

Independent auditor's review report to the members of Computershare Limited
Report on the half-year financial report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Computershare Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled during the half-year (together the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated cash flow statement, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Computershare Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date;
-
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Responsibilities of the directors for the half-year financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 , including giving a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. In note 1, the directors also state that the consolidated financial statements comply with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
