FY16 guidance

  • › In February 2016 we said that we expected the Group’s Management EPS would be around 7.5% lower than FY15 and that we were seeing some softening in the operating environment

  • › We now have greater clarity on FY16 and reiterate our guidance that Management EPS is expected to be around 7.5% lower than FY15

  • › Our guidance assumes no material change to current market conditions for the balance of the fiscal year and that any contributions from the Capital Markets Cooperative LLC acquisition and the UKAR appointment will be immaterial in FY16

Client balances

Assuming current balances remain steady and CPU is able to achieve an increase of 100bps in yield in future periods, an additional $150m of EBITDA per annum would be earned

UKAR appointment highlights

Financially attractive appointment that enhances strategic positioning

Contract – appointed by UK Government agency (UKAR) under a long term contract of 7 years to exclusively service a £30bn portfolio of mortgages. A separate £11bn portfolio that has been acquired by other parties will also be serviced. Projected revenues are approximately £600m over the 7 year period with 1,700 full time equivalent employees transferring to CPU

Strong strategic fit – provides scale and enhances CPU’s position as the market leader in the emerging and potentially large UK outsourced mortgage servicing market. Strong combination with CPU’s existing HML business. Well placed to win new clients and broaden revenue base

2

Financially attractive – modestly EPS accretive in first year. Profitable and cash flow positive throughout term. Scope for significant cost savings and synergies across the combined UKAR + HML business: circa £100m+ PBT expected over the 7 year period

3

Capital light servicing – fee for service contract. No balance sheet exposure such as purchasing mortgage servicing rights or providing advances as occurs in the US mortgage servicing market

4

Enhances growth strategy – a further step in executing CPU’s mortgage servicing growth strategy along with the CMC acquisition in the US

5

Mortgage servicing fits well with CPU’s core strengths - leverages core CPU skills: managing large volumes of complex financial data requiring high integrity, in a timely, accurate and trusted manner in an industry that CPU knows well

US mortgage servicing strategy

Our objective is to build a capital light servicing business able to support all parts of the mortgage cycle

We are investing in building our fulfillment capabilities. This can be a lead into servicing opportunities, both sub-servicing and MSR purchases. CMC Co-Issue program will help drive greater performing servicing business

We do not nor do we intend to originate loans however partnerships with originators are key to our overall strategy, both in terms of driving new owned and sub-serviced business and in potentially directing recapture business

Originate Fulfill

Areas of development focus – where the bigger Performing Recapture near term opportunities lie Servicing

Asset management (of foreclosed properties) and debt recovery are closely aligned with special servicing and an integral part of SLS’ core business. Our plan is to seek to sell these services to third parties

SLS’ core business is special servicing. This is what drives the large compliance costs and regulatory risk, due to the sensitivities around the borrowers personal situations

US mortgage servicing strategy

Addressing our strategic challenges

  • Why we need to

  • Strategic challenge address

    1. We need to acquire MSR in › Drive scale volume at the best possible › Manage run-off price › Enhance RoIC
  • We need to grow our sub› Capital light servicing business at a similar › Helps drive scale efficiencies rate to the growth in our and maximises RoIC owned business performance

  • We need to manage risk that › High concentration driven by legacy sub-servicing could fall GFC settlements away › High oversight costs combined with reducing portfolio could encourage MSR owners to sell

Impact of CMC

  • › Co-issue program provides steady flow and avoids bulk auction pricing

  • › Provides access to new servicing opportunities earlier in cycle

  • › Provide multiple cross sell opportunities

  • › Key clients are large consumers of sub-servicing business

  • › Expected to deliver steady replacement flow of new business

  • › Provides access to over 200 clients and opportunity to further diversify servicing portfolio

US mortgage services

Surplus capital once optimal size obtained

We’re expecting to deploy additional capital in the coming years. Upon reaching optimal scale, our after-tax cash flows will be able to replace our run-off AND deliver strong excess free cash flow

Annualized RoIC P 20.52% L/H

Key assumptions:

  • Purchase of a $10Bn portfolio at 85 bps

  • Straight line amortization over 9 years

  • Run-off in line with amortization

  • Marginal PBT 12 bps of UPB

  • Tax at 38% of PBT

Key outcome:

Replacing the servicing run-off of $1.1Bn in UPB would cost $9.4M, leaving $7M in surplus capital that could be distributed or invested in further growth

Note: 20.52% represents the marginal RoIC for a fully owned MSR purchase. Overall RoIC is enhanced by part-owned MSRs and subservicing business, as well as the broad mix of ancillary services such as fulfillment

Blockchain

If blockchain technology is widely adopted across our markets Computershare is well positioned for market evolution and will endure

Our global presence and deep market knowledge makes us an attractive partner for blockchain solution providers. Connecting a registry platform directly to a trading platform is a logical construct for a streamlined and efficient market model and we are already doing this in the US with T0 (Overstock.com)

The issuer’s agent will play a critical role in administering any distributed ledger solution and we do not envisage a scenario where this role goes away. Only one trusted party can logically act as a gateway for the issuer for the purpose of maintaining issued share capital etc, otherwise the system will lack the integrity it needs on a distributed basis

Computershare and SETL last week announced a joint initiative to establish securities ownership registers using blockchain technology in Australia. This initiative is focused on further building on SETL’s existing working prototype for transferring ownership of securities. SETL has very deep capital markets domain knowledge

Capital management

We have announced a clear policy whereby we intend to maintain our gearing level such that net debt / EBITDA is between 1.75x – 2.25x (excluding the non-recourse SLS advance facility debt), with temporary flexibility to go above this range to take advantage of compelling investment opportunities. We will pursue capital management to maintain leverage within this target band

On 18 August 2015, we announced an on-market buy back having an aggregate value of up to AUD 140 million. To date we have spent AUD 83.9 million on the buy back. The governance impediment to buying back during the UKAR negotiations has now been resolved with yesterday’s ASX market announcement confirming our appointment

We are also presently reviewing our real estate assets as part of our ongoing focus to optimise our balance sheet and recycle capital to drive enhanced returns and last week announced plans to sell and lease back our global headquarters

Computershare core principles

We are creating a simpler, more transparent and disciplined Computershare with greater disclosure Driving technology to provide superior customer service, enhance and entrench customer relationships and innovate with new products to increase value

Continuing to focus on building and protecting scale in core markets to drive operating leverage, profitable growth and improved returns

Executing multi year strategies to drive growth, address challenges and improve productivity

An ongoing commitment of execution and disciplined use of capital has to be a core principle of everything we do
