  • In constant currency, for FY21 we expect:

Guidance

  • Management EPS to be down by around 8%, on a pre-Entitlement Offer basis[1]

‒ We expect Management EPS for 2H21 to be around 30.0 cents per share, on a pre-Entitlement Offer basis[2]

‒ EBIT ex margin income to be up by around 14%[3]

For the first three months of 2H FY21:

  1. For comparative purposes FY20 Management EPS is 56.12 cents per share in FY20 constant currency. Percentage calculated relative to prior calendar period. 2. The 2H21 Management EPS of 30.0 cents per share has not been adjusted for the shares that will be issued as part of the Entitlement Offer. 3. The base FY20 Management EBIT ex margin income is $298.7m in FY20 constant currency. 4. Key assumptions underpinning guidance: Margin income revenue expected to be around $105m, Equity and interest rate markets remain at current levels / in line with current market expectations and Group tax rate between 28.0% - 30.0%. 5. Refer to Slide 69 of the FY21 Half Year Results Presentation dated 9 February 2021 for constant currency conversion rates.
