Acquisitions

Commentary

  • › Execution on recent acquisitions has met or exceeded our expectations or are on track to do so.

  • › Opportunities to commit capital to grow traditional business lines by acquisition continue to emerge but not in the number we have seen historically.

  • › We have passed on opportunities where the fit was strong but where our investment hurdles could not be satisfied. It remains a priority to protect our group returns on invested capital.

› In our newer business lines:

  • mortgage servicing has experienced solid growth since acquisition and we are feeling more confident in being able to solve the large working capital needs that attach to certain Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR) opportunities having now undertaken a meaningful transaction with a financial partner on attractive terms.

  • Utility back office services has continued to expand its client base and achieve operational efficiencies but the loss of its major client APG to takeover is a setback.

Operating environment

Some improvement but off a very low base

  • › Competitive behavior in our markets remains mostly rational but with some markets being more challenged, notably Australia.

  • › We continue to rate highly on independent service surveys around the world.

  • › We have seen some improvement in corporate action activity, but in an environment of lower retail participation and continued record low interest rates.

  • › Persistent low interest rates continue to be a drag on margin income and we expect margin income to trend lower in the short term.

  • › Cost management remains a key focus in a generally tougher revenue environment. Our global service model is expanding, delivering efficiencies and cost improvements.

  • › Some regulatory challenges with the UK Government looking to insource the delivery of childcare vouchers program and changes to forced placed insurance arrangements in the US which impacts on our mortgage servicing business.

Group Strategy and Priorities

Stuart Irving, current CIO and long term CPU employee, will assume the role of CEO effective 1 July 2014 and has publicly affirmed support and importance of executing against current group strategy and priorities.

So the 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; and

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

Our priorities are moving from executing on past transactions such as Shareowner Services and SLS to focusing on those areas that best assure our future, notably:

  • › protecting profitability in our mature businesses; and

  • › driving growth in businesses that offer that potential, such as Mortgage Servicing, Utility Back Office Services and Share Plan administration.

We have recently given priority to simplifying the range of businesses we undertake. While this will be an on-going task, we hope that the prioritised “clean up” will be finalised in the near term.

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