Global Employee Share Plans

Building a global growth engine

  • › Our strategic aim is to combine best-in-class service and technology in order to grow our client base and maximise the value of assets under management; and drive strong revenue and earnings growth

  • › Well-placed to continue to benefit from positive structural trends (equity as a growing part of compensation) and cyclical recovery (rising share prices in local currencies). Combination of recurring issuer paid revenues and employee paid transactional fees

  • › Execution priorities:

  • Implement new front end web interface

  • Roll out data analytics and new reporting capabilities

  • Complete current service improvement programme, including process automation

  • › Regulator / competitor pressure represents a challenging environment in which to deliver both revenue growth and cost reduction

  • › However our full service capability, deep market understanding, global franchise and strong track record in innovation and efficiency / cost reduction all lend themselves to meeting the challenge

  • › Successful execution will optimise the base from which we can profit from equity market growth and interest rate rises

Capital management

Cash flow and capital efficiency help drive growth and enhanced returns

Cash flow

Recycling capital

  • Completed the disposal of the Company’s global headquarters in Melbourne and investment in INVeSHARE Inc (excluded from management earnings in 1H17)

Board Policy

  • 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 flexibility to temporarily go above this range to take advantage of compelling investment opportunities. We will consider capital management to maintain leverage within this target band

Share buy-back

  • In 1H17, the Company purchased and cancelled 500,000 ordinary shares at a total cost of AU$4.6 million with an average price of AU$9.20 bringing the total number of ordinary shares bought back under the buy-back program to 9,877,069 at an average price of AU$10.65 per share

Increased dividend

  • Interim dividend of AU17 cents franked at 30%, +6.3% on pcp
