CPT Global Limited and Controlled Entities – Preliminary Final Report

Chairman’s Statement

Dear Fellow CPT Global Shareholder,

CPT Global’s performance improved in the 2011 financial year but is still to reach targeted levels. Total revenues were higher than the prior year primarily due to a stronger performance by our US business. Our Australian business has broadened its client base and a number of new customer relationships have been established. The Company’s financial position remains sound and further action has been taken to build our business development and management capabilities.

Revenue from our Australian operations fell although margins have recovered somewhat. In Victoria revenues were lower despite the growth in two key accounts which failed to offset further declines in services provided to our previous largest client. Our ACT business performed well and increased revenue. However, the revenues of our NSW operations slipped and remain of concern. Further changes have been made to our business development team in Australia in an effort to deepen and establish more new client relationships. While there has been some progress over the past year, our effort to increase revenue, improve margins and control costs will remain a major focus this financial year.

Despite the negative impact of the higher Australian dollar, CPT’s revenue from international operations was higher than the previous year due to a better performance from our US operations. In Europe revenues were similar to the prior year but margins were stronger and a number of new client relationships were established. Record revenues were generated in the US despite the higher Australian dollar and the forward pipeline is looking healthy. CPT’s market penetration in the international markets continues to develop with three of CPT’s largest six global clients now being based in the US and Europe. Some preliminary work has also been undertaken to explore exciting opportunities that have been presented to CPT in both Asia and South America.

Our revenue grew by 1.0 % in 2011 driven by the better result in the US. CPT returned to profitability delivering a net profit after tax of $1.05m compared to a loss before impairment charges of $0.7m in the prior year. As a result of the stronger performance CPT will pay dividends of 2.5 cents per share (fully franked) for the year compared to no dividend last year. CPT ended the financial year with cash of $884k and no bank debt.

Despite some positive developments, CPT continues to struggle to deliver satisfactory returns for our shareholders. Our performance in 2011 was held back by a further reduction in activity at our previous largest client and the negative impact of the strong Australian dollar on our international revenues. While CPT returned to profitability in 2011 we are still to see the full benefit of our on-going business development activities which have established relationships with some of the world’s most significant companies. Your Board remains convinced that in time CPT will capitalise on the opportunities being developed by these efforts.

CPT’s strategy remains to grow revenue in all our regions, improve margins and control costs. Our business development activities continue to be a high priority and we have been able to attract some more high quality staff to the CPT team over the past twelve months. Further action is being taken to allow our Managing Director Gerry Tuddenham to focus more time on the sales efforts in Europe and North America in order to build on the success of this high margin business.

CPT’s improving performance is directly attributable to the ongoing effort of its strong team of technically skilled and loyal staff and consultants who are focused on serving our clients’ interests globally. I would like to thank my fellow directors and all our staff, under the active leadership of our Managing Director, Gerry Tuddenham, for their contribution to CPT’s performance. I am hopeful that in the year ahead we will see further evidence of progress emerge from the considerable efforts of the CPT Global team through the generation of attractive shareholder returns from the more profitable operation of our businesses both in Australia and internationally.

Fred S. Grimwade Chairman

CPT Global Limited and Controlled Entities – Preliminary Final Report

Managing Director’s Review

Fellow Shareholders,

The 2010/11 financial year was a year of consolidation for CPT Global. After laying the foundation for the financial turnaround in the second half of 2009/10, both the local and international businesses achieved positive results, with the return to profitability, the growth of a number of new strategic accounts in the Australian market, the reduction of reliance on CPT’s largest client for many years and the growth of the international opportunity pipeline to unprecedented levels. Although overall revenues grew by only 1% on last year and profit targets were not achieved, the achievement of the financial turnaround and some key strategic objectives have set CPT up well to continue on its growth trajectory.

Operating and Financial Review

Australian revenue reduced by $1.3m or 4% from 2009/10 primarily due to a reduction of $4.9m in CPT’s previously largest client. The enhancement of new strategic accounts in the finance and government sectors reduced the impact of this and created a firm revenue base for the Australian market going forward. The Victorian and New South Wales regions fell 7% and 12% short of prior year levels, while the Federal Region revenue grew by 19%. Australian margins increased by 2% reflecting CPT’s enhanced service delivery processes.

International revenue increased by 16% compared to 2009/10, even after being negatively impacted by almost $0.9m by the strengthening Australia dollar. The North American operation increased revenues from $3.7m to $5.6m ($6.2m before currency movement) while the European operation revenues fell marginally from $6.0m to $5.7m ($6.0m before currency movement).

CPT Global’s revenue for the year ended 30 June 2011 was $38.1 million, a 1.0% increase on the previous year’s revenue of $37.7 million.

CPT Global’s net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2011 was $1.05 million, a significant improvement on the 30 June 2010 pre impairment loss of $0.7 million.

A fully franked final dividend of 1 cent per share has been declared.

Basic earnings per share amounted to 2.87 cents per share (diluted earnings 2.85 cents per share).

CPT Global’s balance sheet reflected net tangible assets of $5.96m as at 30 June 2011 ($5.72m 30 June 2010) with net cash holdings of $884k at 30 June 2011 ($523k 30 June 2010).

From a market development standpoint, CPT closed the year with an international opportunity pipeline of $31.4m in Europe and $16.6m in North America.

Strategy

Our ongoing overall strategy for the Australian business is to continue growth through the ongoing provision of independent expert services to strategically selected blue chip clients and enhancing service delivery efficiencies to achieve margin expansion. The establishment of a number of key strategic clients in 2010/11 is an illustration of the success recently achieved. All existing clients have well articulated account service plans in place, targeting the continuation of this strategy.

For the International business, we plan to continue leveraging the business development investments of the past, converting many of the phase 1 exploratory cost reduction assignments already undertaken, to the more lucrative phase 2 engagements where substantial savings are identified and passed on to clients. This will ultimately lead to growing the annuity revenue base by taking on long term engagements at the completion of the phase 2 assignments to protect client cost efficiencies on an ongoing basis. We expect margins to increase as the number of phase 2 engagements increase, as these typically provide the company with its largest reward for services provided. This growth will be funded internally.

Continued growth of the Australian Capacity Planning and Performance Tuning Center of Excellence will add to the scale and flexibility of the company’s service offering by enhancing the capability of remotely providing service simultaneously to a range of overseas clients in various geographic locations.

More specifically our 2 main overall areas of focus remain:

1) Market coverage

a) Continue the enhancement of CPT’s service offering to satisfy emerging market requirements

b) Continue to grow the Melbourne market organically

c) Expand our market coverage to new Federal Government Agencies through our presence on two major ICT panels in Canberra

d) Increase our presence in the Sydney market through increased business development activities

e) Transition current international clients into annuity relationships

f) Offer a broader range of CPT services internationally, including mid-range and testing services

g) Expand international client base including government

h) Access to new markets via additional international alliance partners

2) Services positioning

a) Greater alignment with business outcomes

b) Expand Data Centre optimization services into the Cloud environment and Green IT outcomes

c) Consolidate and improve existing services

  • d) Provide new services that leverage existing competencies

e) Development of Oracle tools continue and focus on SAP with European clients

f) Test coverage across mid-range

CPT Worldwide Market by Sector and Line of Business

CPT remains in the same markets and lines of business as prior years, although the current year has seen a shift when compared to 2009/10 predominantly due to a shift in the mix of Australian clients. The reduction in activity in CPT’s previously largest client in the telecommunication industry and enhancement of some major strategic clients in the banking and finance sector has seen a move of approximately 10% of the Company’s global revenue from Telecommunications sector to the Banking and Finance sector.

----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [450 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

This shift has also led to a change in the revenue earned from CPT’s various lines of business, where the provision of Project and Program Management Services and Technical Support Services reduced by 8% and 4% year on year, with a resultant increase in Performance Tuning and Capacity Management Services of 5% and 4%.

This is testament to the flexibility of the CPT resource base which is able to scale up and down as required to suit changing client requirements.

Key Highlights

The following key highlights were achieved in 2010/11:

  • 1) The establishment of a number of key strategic accounts in the financial services sector of the Australian marketplace

  • 2) The growth of the Australian based Capacity Planning and Performance Tuning Centre of Excellence to drive the remote provision of services to overseas locations on a scalable basis.

  • 3) The growth of the International opportunity pipeline to approximately $48m

  • 4) The expansion of the North American business to Canada and the hire of CPT’s first Canadian business developer

  • 5) The return to profitability in a year when international revenues were negatively impacted by approximately $0.9m due to the strengthening of the Australian dollar

  • 6) The commencement of two large phase 2 success fee engagements which will lead to a significant revenue increase in 2011/12.

  • 7) The successful transition of CPT’s cost minimisation methodologies from the mainframe to the mid range environment.

CPT Global Limited and Controlled Entities – Preliminary Final Report

Managing Director’s Review continued

Our People

In 2010/2011 CPT increased its capability of responding to the growing global opportunities. In Europe and the USA we employed more local resources to expand local service delivery capabilities and establish a resource pool to facilitate a flexible workforce which grows to the size of CPT’s project requirements. In Australia we enhanced CPT’s capability to simultaneously deliver services to various geographies through dedicated training programs focused on enhancing the Capacity Planning and Performance Tuning Centre of Excellence. In addition, CPT’s available resource pool grew through the re engagement of previously used contractors and associates.

This coupled with the continued investment in skills enhancement programs has led to our enhanced ability to deliver a better service more efficiently on a global scale.

Outlook

The Australian business is expected to grow steadily in the near term in each of the regions. We have confidence that the enhancement of new strategic relationships and service offerings will lead to increased demand for our services and as such business development teams will be increased by approximately 25% in 2011/12 to drive this activity.

The International business is expected to grow at a faster rate over the next few years based on CPT’s proven value proposition and very strong opportunity pipeline. Margins will remain strong due to (1) the increased number of phase 2 engagements to be taken on as the success fee remuneration is CPT’s most rewarding remuneration and (2) increased resource scalability as the level of services provided off shore by the Australian Centre of Excellence increases.

A key driver to the success over the next financial year will be the timing of engagement commencements. Any delays in project starts will hold up growth to a later time in the year, whilst many starts at the same time may create challenges to gear up for each engagement. We believe that our resourcing model can gear up quickly to respond to the opportunities as they arise. Your Board understands the formula for success and is confident it will deliver on the objectives of the next year of CPT’s strategic plan.
