The presentation is unchanged from the version released to the ASX on 4 September 2013 with the exception of an additional slide (slide 10 - 'Client Balances’).

Results Summary – FY13
Statutory Results
*** Prior period Statutory results were restated due to re-measurement of put option
liability. Refer to ASX Appendix 4E Note 3.
Note: all figures in this presentation are in USD M unless otherwise indicated.
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, performance rights reversals 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 in
the ASX Appendix 4E Note 9.
The non-IFRS financial information contained within this
document has not been reviewed or audited in accordance with
Australian Auditing Standards.

Drivers Behind FY13 Financial Performance
----- End of picture text -----

  • › Revenue in transactional business lines, especially corporate actions, remains subdued. Proxy solicitation (corporate and mutual fund) continues to suffer from weak deal flow and lack of hostile activity, a slightly better June quarter notwithstanding.

  • › Register maintenance revenues remain soft due to lower activity based fees, shareholder attrition and active competition in key markets.

  • › Employee share plans continue to perform strongly in all markets, with organic growth aided by the contribution from the plans component of Shareowner Services, and continual realisation of benefits from the HBOS EES acquisition. No material FY13 contribution from the Morgan Stanley European acquisition.

  • › Client balances notably lower in second half and in the current liquidity environment pressure remains on deposit returns and yields on rolled hedges.

  • › Contributions from SLS, Deposit Protection Scheme and Serviceworks continue to meet expectations, although Bankruptcy and Voucher Services could not match FY12 results.

  • › Continued strong cost focus in all business lines, but still investing in technology and capex to support integration.

Computershare Strengths
----- End of picture text -----

  • › Leading market position in all major markets for equity investor record-keeping and employee stock plan administration based on:

  • › sustainable advantages in technology, operations, domain knowledge and product development;

  • › sustained quality excellence and operational efficiency; and

  • › a joined-up global platform (20+ countries including China, India and Russia), and seamless development and execution of cross-border solutions.

  • › Consolidating position and continuing to extract synergies from acquisitions within our chosen business lines.

  • › Exciting growth opportunities within newer business lines.

  • › More generally:

  • › over 70% of revenues recurring in nature;

  • › long track record of excellent cash realisation from operations; and

  • › Strong balance sheet and prudent gearing, with average maturity 4.8 years and no more than USD 305M maturing in any one financial year.

----- Start of picture text -----

Guidance for FY14
----- End of picture text -----

  • › While the Company expects to realise substantial synergies in the year ahead following the Shareowner Services integration, these benefits are anticipated to be materially offset by the impact of lower margin income returns and the recent strengthening of the USD. Taking this and the continuing challenges of the operating environment into account, the Company is anticipating Management EPS for the full year FY14 to be around 5% higher than FY13.

  • › This assessment of the outlook assumes that equity, foreign exchange and interest rate markets remain at current levels.

Financial Summary – FY13
----- End of picture text -----

  • › We continue to experience generally difficult trading conditions across many business lines.

  • › However, ongoing disciplined expense and capital expenditure management continue to drive solid results and cash flow.

  • › The Shareowner Services acquisition is now complete with synergy realisation ahead of targets and high levels of confidence of delivering the remainder this year.

  • › The SLS and Serviceworks acquisitions have both performed well with SLS, in particular, anticipated to be a future growth engine.

  • › A strategic review of non-core and underperforming assets resulted in the disposal of our Solium investment, IML group and Restricted Stock Services, and the decision to close our Funds Services business in Australia.

  • › Maintained strong and conservative balance sheet, with DRP adding further flexibility to our funding options.

  • › Final dividend maintained at AUD 14 cents per share, franked to 20% (down from 60%).

  • › Total dividends maintained at AUD 28 cents per share, franked to 20% (down from 60%).

Group Strategy and Priorities
----- End of picture text -----

Our group strategy remains as it has been:

  • › Continue to drive operations quality and efficiency through measurement, benchmarking and technology.

  • › Improve our front office skills to protect and drive revenue.

  • › Continue to seek acquisition and other growth opportunities where we can add value and enhance returns for our shareholders.

While much of the heavy integration lifting on recent acquisitions is done, we still pursue and track synergy realisation. Nonetheless, our priorities are moving from executing on past transactions to the two things that will best assure our future:

  • › protecting profitability in our mature businesses; and

  • › driving growth in businesses that offer that potential, such as loan servicing, utility back office and share plan administration.

We are also giving priority to simplifying the range of businesses we undertake.

Across all our business lines and geographies, we continue to invest in and remain engaged with regulatory developments and market structure change.

----- Start of picture text -----

Delivery Against Strategy and Priorities
----- End of picture text -----

The first two limbs of our strategy (cost & revenue) remain key. Revenue is a defensive game in current conditions. Cost and service highlights include:

  • › The Shareowner Services business’s off-shore operations capabilities have started to bring meaningful quality benefits and savings across the legacy US TA client base, and are soon to be deployed into other geographies.

  • › Third party off-shore IT development is supporting a range of our newer projects, offering flexibility in resource commitment as well as cost savings.

  • › We continue to rate highly in independent service surveys across the world.

On the M&A front, we are spending more time on finding new homes for assets that no longer fit our strategy or that are not otherwise contributing.

We also see a range of potential opportunities to commit capital to grow current business lines. Mostly, these are “bolt-on” opportunities.

Mortgage servicing raises different issues. Here the challenge is to access the working capital needed to grow quickly without diluting returns. It has been met in a range of ways by different market players. We are exploring our options.

Acquisitions Update – Shareowner Services
----- End of picture text -----

  • › While revenues remain softer than originally expected (as with most of our investor services assets around the world), the integration has been very successful, with accompanying client benefits (many major clients re-signed or re-signing).

  • › All client data migrations on to Computershare systems completed as scheduled.

  • › Synergy realisation ahead of original expectations.
