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 potential UKAR appointment will be immaterial in FY16.

U.S. Mortgage Servicing Recap
The management and administration of mortgage loans and adherence with loan documents and various regulatory requirements. It includes:
-
› Billing, collection and processing of payments
-
› Management of customer enquiries
-
› Monitoring of tax and insurance
What is Mortgage Servicing
-
› Management of client bank accounts
-
› Managing loan modification process as alternatives to foreclosure
-
› Supervising foreclosure, bankruptcy and property dispositions
Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”) are intangible assets that we acquire for cash and which provide the legal right to service a particular mortgage for a fee for the duration of its life. We hold these assets on our balance sheet and amortize them over 9 years.
Sub-servicing refers to a contractual relationship with the owner of a MSR or Loan, whereby the owner would appoint us to service their loan for a fee for the period of the contract. We perform sub-servicing for banks, hedge funds, bond insurers, GSE’s. Subservicing business can be lost through a sale of the underlying MSR or loan or through a desire of the owner to change servicing provider for whatever reason. Mortgage servicing broadly covers three different type of mortgages.
Types of Mortgage Servicing
Sources of Mortgage Servicing
Agency Servicing (Govt Sponsored Agencies) - Generally higher credit quality and
-
conventional/conforming loans.
-
› Low risk of default
-
› Low cost to service and minimal servicing advance requirements
-
› Low servicing and subservicing fees
-
› Acquisition of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) have a higher value or multiples of servicing fees
-
› Results in less risk or discount rate or return requirements
Private Securitizations – Generally lower credit quality and/or higher loan-to-value non-conventional/ non-conforming loans.
-
› Higher risk of default
-
› Higher cost to service and increased advance requirements
-
› High servicing and subservicing fees with lower volumes of loans serviced
-
› Acquisitions of MSRs trade at lower multiples of servicing fees
– Whole Loans Generally not securitized, and owned by a single investor, which tends to be a hedge fund or financial institution that does not have captive or affiliated servicers.
-
› Whole loan portfolios can be composed of many types of loans
-
› Servicing fees are generally based on the status of the loan & the servicers are often entitled to incentive fees for loss mitigation activity
-
› Loan owner owns the MSRs

Mortgage Servicing Key Terms
==> picture [171 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Performing Servicing
----- End of picture text -----
-
Servicing of a mortgage which is less than 30 days delinquent. Typically loans that meet the criteria of the Government Sponsored Entities.
-
›
==> picture [171 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Non-Performing Servicing
----- End of picture text -----
-
Servicing of a mortgage that is over 30 days delinquent up to management of the foreclosure process. Typically, non-performing servicing is performed over loans subject to private securitizations.
-
›
==> picture [171 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Mortgage Servicing Rights
----- End of picture text -----
-
Intangible assets representing an ownership right to service the mortgage for a fee for the life of the mortgage. The owner of the MSR can either service the loan itself or appoint a sub-servicer to do so.
-
›
==> picture [171 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Servicing Advances
----- End of picture text -----
-
The owner of the MSR is required to fund various obligations required to protect a mortgage if the borrower is unable to do so. Advances receive a priority in any liquidation and are often financed in standalone non-recourse servicing advance facilities.
-
›
==> picture [171 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Government Sponsored
Entities (“GSEs”)
----- End of picture text -----
-
› Otherwise known as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae that enable originators to recycle capital.
-
Buy loans from originators subject to certain lending criteria and guarantee timely payments to bondholders. MSRs created during the sale process can be either retained by originator or sold.
-
›
==> picture [171 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Private Securitizations
----- End of picture text -----
Alternatively, mortgages not sold to GSEs, are aggregated and sold as privately owned securitized pools. Third party servicers are often appointed or able to acquire the MSR pertaining to these pools of loans.
- ›
An Excess Strip Sale refers to the sale of a stream of cash flows associated with the servicing fee on a performing MSR. The seller of the servicing strip has the ability to service the mortgage.
- ›
==> picture [171 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Part Owned MSRs
----- End of picture text -----
-
An SPV deal refers to the sale of the rights to the MSR and associated servicing advances into an SPV. CPU typically takes a 20% equity stake in the SPV and performs all servicing on the loans via a sub-servicing fee for service relationship.

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 in to servicing opportunities, both sub-servicing and MSR purchases. CMC Co-Issue program will help drive greater performing servicing business.
==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
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.

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.
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 3[rd] parties.

Cost Drivers
| Fully-Owned MSRs |
Part-Owned MSRs |
Sub-servicing | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performing | Low touch, low cost. Varies according to loan type. |
Same as if owned MSR | Low touch, low cost but client oversight costs in addition. |
|
| High touch, higher cost | High touch, higher cost. | |||
| Non-performing | Varies according to | Same as if owned MSR | Client requirements can be | |
| delinquency. | substantial. | |||
Typical cost to service a performing loan ranges between $75-$100 p.a. per loan. A non-performing loan typically costs in the range of $400-$1000 p.a. per loan. Generally owning the MSR can lead to a lower cost to serve as far fewer client requirements to manage.

|---|---|
| MSR asset | |
| MSR liability (arises due to association with capital partners) | |
| Net MSR asset |
| FAQ | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are they? | Intangible asset giving right to service loan for a fee for the life of the mortgage |
| How are they valued? |
Typically based on the net present value of the cashflows attributable to the servicing of the loan. Non-performing valuations impacted by advance financing rates, cost of service and prepayment / run-off rates. Performing valuations predominantly driven by prepayment/run-off rates and the cost of service. Advances excluded as minimal for performing loans. |
| How does valuation change over time? |
MSR value reduces as the mortgage is repaid by the borrower and UPB amortizes down. |
| How do we account for them? |
Held at cost and amortized on a straight line basis over 9 years. Current book value is $98M – estimated market value is $104M. |
| How are they financed? |
CPU funds its MSR purchases from its operating cashflows. |
| Can they be sold? | There is a liquid market in MSRs and MSRs are traded regularly. |
| What are the key risks? |
Non-performing : Interest Rate Risk (Advance Financing), Cost of Servicing, Housing Values and credit markets. Performing: Interest Rate Risk (driving prepayment risk) and cost of servicing. |

CPU capital deployment in this business - advances
| Servicing Advances at 31 Dec 2015 | $M |
|---|---|
| Servicing Advance Receivables | $363 |
| Advance Financing Facility | ($277) |
| Net Advance Asset | $86 |
| FAQ | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are they? | Payments to the owner of the loan by the servicer on behalf of the borrower. There are typically two kinds of advance – (i) Protective (taxes & insurance) – which are made to protect a lender’s interest in the home; and (ii) Principal & interest – which are servicer paid borrower payments to ensure bondholders receive timely payments. |
| How are they collected? |
Typically reimbursed at the earlier of (i) direct collections from the borrower; (ii) a modification of the loan; (iii) the liquidation of the loan (whether through borrower initiated short sales or the sale of foreclosure properties); or, if collections are insufficient (iv) from the securitization cash-flows prior to any bondholder payment. |
| How do we account for them? |
Held on our balance sheet as a current asset but funded through a non-recourse financing facility. |
| How are they financed? |
Through a non-recourse finance facility. Typically, 80-90% of the advance receivable is able to be financed. |
| Can they be sold? | Advances follow the MSR. The level of advances can materially impact the MSR value. |
| What are the key risks? |
Servicing Advance Risk is generally contained to duration and financing risk. Servicing advances are non-recourse to CPU and we do not incur a loss from default. |

The competitive landscape – Why we differ
A lower risk business model aligned to more conservative capital management and ability to leverage core competencies.
Conservative leverage Gearing MSR transfers in small and manageable proportions Higher concentration of third-party servicing Growth Do not compete with our lending or investing clients profile Do not originate loans Credit risk substantially reduced Credit risk Materially smaller than listed peers – far more manageable yet substantial opportunity remains Size Has scale, resources and competencies that drive ability to create material efficiencies CPU

Management of Risks
MSR volumes drive financial outcomes. Market for bulk purchase of performing MSRs remains very active. CMC provides strong visibility of performing buying opportunity.
›
New mortgage origination and MSR volumes
Increasing rates could have potential impact on origination levels, which could impact flow of new origination servicing. However rise in rates overall a net positive – pricing, run-off.
›
Interest rates
› Overall ROIC is dependent on ability Capital to transact with capital partners at regular intervals for SPV deals and structuring excess strip sales. Track record of delivery and strong investor appetite from our partners.
› Opportunities to acquire large portfolios of non-performing MSRs Legacy Servicing will decline over time as the market improves and delinquencies are worked out.
› Prepayment rates
› Sustainability of MSR pricing
› Sub-Servicing business
›
Regulatory environment
Higher prepayment rates could impact financial outcomes. Increasing interest rates mitigate risk.
MSR prices should fall as interest rates rise, helping improve RoIC. Co-Issue program provides access to MSRs at better than auction pricing.
Sub-servicing is ROIC enhancing BUT retention subject to appetite and strategy of ultimate MSR owner. Good performance can lead to loss of business. Switching is rare so new business linked to new origination.
We have invested significantly in our regulatory management resources and we are not expecting any further material changes.

INVESTOR DAY – BLOCKCHAIN What are the implications for Computershare?
28 April 2016
==> picture [720 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [20 x 540] intentionally omitted <==
Blockchain
Introduction
Stuart Irving, CEO, Computershare said:
“There are evangelists who say it will change everything and sceptics who say it will change nothing. The answer will surely be somewhere in between, but to which of these two extremes the outcome skews towards and when it will do so is the subject of much speculation.
"Fear and greed are likely adding fuel to this debate, as various parties analyse what it means for market evolution and what it means for them specifically”
Source: “Blockchain could blow away sharemarkets”, Shaun Drummond, Sydney Morning Herald, March 28[th] , 2016
==> picture [174 x 189] intentionally omitted <==
Today, our focus is on the implications for Computershare
2
==> picture [20 x 540] intentionally omitted <==
Blockchain
Introduction
-
› Pre-trade order-routing and electronic trading of financial assets is now virtually frictionless and low cost. Various technologies have been applied to push trading responsiveness to millisecond levels.
-
› In contrast clearing, settlement and custody processes have not similarly evolved. Securities transactions are held in a ‘clearing’ process for 2 or 3 business days creating vast credit exposures that have to be managed, often through complex risk systems and margining requirements.
-
› The clearing and settlement process has given rise to specialist clearing and settlement organisations with specialist credentials, systems and skillsets.
-
› Equally, the laws, regulations and rules around the legal register of shareholders has given rise to specialist providers such as Computershare. These legal and regulatory frameworks are not uniform across jurisdictions
==> picture [174 x 189] intentionally omitted <==
3
==> picture [20 x 540] intentionally omitted <==
Blockchain
Introduction & Perspective
-
› We believe the commentary that blockchain is automatically “bad for Computershare” is ill informed and reflects incomplete analysis or competing vested interests.
-
› The focus should be on payments and trade settlement; not registry. This is where the investments are being channelled.
-
› The view that ‘distributed ledger’ technology means everyone will get a copy of a share register is naïve.
-
› Computershare is not an intermediary in the traditional sense. Computershare is an agent for a critical end-user segment of the market (an enviable position in a blockchain environment).
-
› We see real-life commercial opportunities given Computershare’s unique positioning (e.g. Computershare is not an intermediary), not just risks as is often reported in the local AU market.

Overview: So what is a Blockchain?
"At its most basic, the blockchain is a global spreadsheet, an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value andimportance to human kind: birthanddeath certificates, marriage licenses, deeds and titles of ownership, educational degrees, financial accounts, medical procedures, insurance claims, votes, transactions between "smart" objects, and anything else that can be expressed in code."

What some key market participants said
==> picture [94 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
“ There are basically three groups – there are the large banks , there are the exchanges , and there is the settlement system . And what's going to happen is one of those three are going to use this technology to disrupt the other two. I think that's the bottom line. ”
Patrick Byrne, Phd. CEO, Overstock.com, November 20[th] , 2015

“Distributed Ledger Technology could provide a once in a generation opportunity to reduce cost, time and complexity in the post-trade environment of Australia’s equity market,”
Elmer Funke Kuppe, former CEO, ASX, January 22[nd] , 2016
“The industry has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine and modernise its infrastructure to resolve long-standing operational challenges… To realise the potential of distributed ledger technology in a responsible manner and to avoid a disconnected maze of siloed solutions, the industry must work together in a coordinated fashion .”
==> picture [94 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Michael Bodson, President and CEO at DTCC, January 25[th] , 2016
==> picture [84 x 79] intentionally omitted <==
“ The industry needs to take a collective view on the potential of the technology [...] The market must embrace this potential, show patience with this development and invest in various innovative solutions to bring it to bear.”

Blockchain: Risk & Opportunities Implications for Computershare
-
› Our global presence makes us an attractive partner to blockchain solution providers. It also gives us access to a wide range of commercial blockchain ‘use case’ opportunities.
-
› If blockchain technology delivers on its promise, we are very well positioned and fully expect to service and leverage our strong relationships with issuers globally to simplify their obligations to the market (via distributed ledger technology) and to evolve our services platform to make this seamless for issuers, investors and market participants;
-
As a global agent acting for issuers, Computershare will seek collaborative solutions to deliver service efficiencies within existing market infrastructures and new market structures.
-
We will also promote more innovative (‘disruptive’) solutions where they can deliver clear benefits to issuers, investors and market users.

Market Structure: Centralised vs. Distributed Ledgers
A distributed ledger is a network that records ownership through a shared ledger, not through a centralised institution

Market structure: future state
More granular analysis: Distributed Ledgers versus Share Register
Distributed Ledger
==> picture [52 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [53 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
The blockchain must be “permissioned” to reflect the different roles and responsibilities of the key actors in the market place , e.g. the exchange for trading purposes, the issuer agent for issuance, cancellation, investor communications and corporate actions management, etc.
==> picture [53 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [52 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [89 x 89] intentionally omitted <==
The issuer agent plays a critical role in administering the distributed ledger. This role does not go away.
==> picture [53 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [52 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
Only one trusted party can logically act as the gateway (or node) for the issuer for the purposes of maintaining issued share capital (etc.), otherwise the system will lack the integrity it needs on a distributed basis.

Share Registrar / Transfer Agent
NOTE: Access to the distributed ledger will be a public policy, regulatory and competition issue. It is hard to envisage a Government approving a monopoly for issuer and investor services where a competitive market exists today.

Risk or opportunity?
Our current focus
-
› We are focusing our deep markets and technology expertise on understanding the implications for:
-
Existing, liquid and deeply established post-trade market infrastructure (e.g., CHESS or DTC)
- › Computershare can “collaborate” with existing market infrastructure to bring about evolutionary efficiencies.
-
New product markets where no infrastructure exists or is highly inefficient.
- › Computershare can demonstrate innovation, and strong industry leadership by partnering with major market participants and fintech partners.
-
Collaborative vs disruptive opportunities – which offers the best path short and long term?
-
Hybrid opportunities, where new digital assets and transactions systems leverage existing market systems.
- › Fungibility and exchangeability of digital securities.
==> picture [89 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [20 x 540] intentionally omitted <==
Risk or opportunity?
So which infrastructure functions logically become redundant, if blockchain technology is widely adopted?
-
› Some market speculation about how ASX will leverage blockchain technology to move downstream into “issuer agent” services role. The rationale cited is to offset loss of clearing revenue from competition.
-
› This speculation is no fully informed and fails to reflect the different ways distributed ledgers might be constructed.
-
Interestingly, CHESS today is a form of distributed ledger system with ASX and registries managing separate components of the register.
-
› Market speculation hasn’t focused on the most rudimentary aspects of blockchain technology, i.e. that blockchain provides for (i) the transfer of assets electronically and (ii) synchronised asset transfers (shares vs cash), whether using smart contract principles or not.
-
› Share registry doesn’t seem like the place to start any AU-market analysis re disintermediation of market critical functions.

Risk or opportunity?
So which infrastructure functions logically become redundant, if blockchain technology is widely adopted?
-
› Little to no attention has been given to the idea that new channels for post-trade settlement activities may become feasible.
-
Connecting a registry platform directly to a trading platform through a distributed ledger is a logical construct for a streamlined and efficient market model.
-
Perhaps not surprisingly the entities seeking to lead the post-trade industry forward are the CSDs
-
› What seems clear, however, is if blockchain delivers on its promise – and it still has to demonstrate it is sufficiently scalable to support mission critical capital markets - the current “supply chain” could become highly compressed, both in function and time (e.g. T+2 reducing to T+0).
-
› The market structure implications will remain fluid while organisations jockey for position.

Risks and opportunities
Interaction between a Distributed Ledger and the Share Register
-
› In our view, the share register and the ledger are highly complementary but serve different purposes.
-
› We do not believe a distributed ledger will be the “share register” for corporate law, privacy reasons or operational purposes.
. Note: The legal register of title is already “the single source of truth”
-
› We view the distributed ledger as a sophisticated transaction communications channel between different actors in the market system. Access rules and commercial dynamics determine who plays what roles for whom on the ledger.
-
› We believe there are sound and effective regulatory policy reasons why connecting the register to the distributed ledger will deliver a more effective regulatory outcome based on trusted service providers. It will also provide the best transition to a future state environment.
-
› We’re engaging with various parties on this issue, including ASX and SEC.

Share Registry implications Registry responsibility continues
-
› Registers, share management and reporting
-
› Transfer processing, including for restricted securities
-
› Dividends and other Corporate Actions, e.g., splits, acquisitions & spin-offs
-
› Shareholder Communications and Proxy Voting
-
› Other innovative solutions:
-
Development of alternate settlement channels e.g. future state model (ref slide 14) connecting to deeply established exchange platforms and /or alternative trading platforms
-
Our team is also developing relevant ‘use cases’ to understand product and service benefit and will soon start to focus on what “cost out” opportunities blockchain may separately create (if any).

Risks and opportunities: Specific Use Cases So where’s the opportunity for CPU?
We’re developing a range of Use Cases for commercial consideration, including:
-
Registry management for US market, but globally applicable.
-
Private Market Registry (Transfer Agency) for US market, progressively applicable in a range of Computershare core markets as regulators liberate capital raising mechanisms [crowdfunding]
-
Restricted Securities Market (includes Public Issued Securities) for large, existing market in US.
-
Registry to CSD interface to facilitate registry management, CSD interactions and dematerialization, globally applicable.
-
Development of an “on-register” expedited settlement module
-
Cross Listed securities, including fungibility of digital securities and exchangeability between digital and analogue securities quoted on different markets
-
Investor Communications and Proxy Voting, focus on UK/EU, but global applicable. Applicable to new market models and to existing market structures.
-

Brief History of FinTech 1970s > 2016
Every decade a new technology changes financial services - 1970s SWIFT - 1980s Dematerialisation / CSDs - 1990s Real Time Gross Settlement Systems [RTGS] / Central Banks - 2000s C21st technology to front office, Chi-X, Algorithmic Trading, ICE - 2010s C21st technology to post-trade
==> picture [105 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
20
Strategic rationale for SETL
-
●We aim to do to the post-trade space what Chi-X did to front office trading
-
●Blockchain technology has the potential to completely transform settlement and post trade administration
-
●Three key elements to understand about our plan
-
○The benefits - why is this such a good idea for the market
-
○The technology - the essential elements for institutional finance
-
○The proposition - key elements for the success of SETL
==> picture [105 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
21
Benefits of SETL ?
- ●A simple, unified, t-instant, multi-currency settlement system using central bank
money to
- ○Transfer Cash
- ○Settle FX
- ○Settle Securities and Derivatives Transactions
-
●A ‘Golden Record’ of financial asset ownership designed to replace multiple
-
complex and expensive intermediaries
-
●A way to de-risk the settlement and clearing process
-
●A way to free up significant bank capital
-
●A way to drive US$80 bn of costs out of the post-trade environment
==> picture [105 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
22
Proposition
-
●SETL is putting a proposition to the market which has a significant probability of success
-
○There is a track record in executing disruptive technology - a very particular skill in
- financial markets
-
○SETL has an understanding of financial markets borne of decades of experience and
- innovation
-
○SETL has a clear execution strategy based around a phased approach
-
○SETL can demonstrate technology working at real-world volumes
-
○The SETL team has the trust and confidence of the market
==> picture [105 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
23
SETL
-
Founded in 2015 after 24 months of pre-incorporation technical development
-
Key Executives all previously worked together at Flemings / JPMorgan
-
Board – Chairman Sir David Walker, Dame Rachel Lomax, Antony Jenkins, Ed Richards
-
Regulatory engagement: BoE, ECB, BIS, IOSCO, ESMA
-
Deep understanding that this is NOT solely about technology, it is really a project about regulation and adoption
-
Deep understanding that payments and collateral movements are the ‘core’ of all financial service offerings
==> picture [105 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
24
Technology
-
●To achieve these goals we needed permissioned technology that can work in the real-world of finance. In contrast to other blockchains, institutional finance needs:
-
○The ability for participants to be ultimately identified
-
○The ability to SETL real world currency and assets
-
○The ability to execute 1,000s of transactions per second
-
○The certainty that DvP and PvP can be executed
-
○The ability to interface with existing protocols and systems such as SWIFT
- and FIX
