Eclipx Group Limited Chairman’s AGM Address 17 February 2017

Realising the Eclipx Vision

The world is changing fast with most businesses facing challenges, whilst embracing opportunities presented in the “digital age”.

At Eclipx we continue to disrupt and grow in the markets in which we operate and have developed a sustainable competitive advantage based on:

  • Delivering seamless online customer solutions

  • Introducing innovative products that create value for our customers

  • Embracing alternate distribution channels through acquisitions, alliances and expanding our digital reach

  • Leveraging our unique and comprehensive range of funding capabilities

  • I am pleased to say Eclipx has made a strong showing again in FY16:

    • Since we last met our market capitalisation on the ASX passed the $1 billion mark

    • Gaining admission to the ASX200 in 2016, assisted by the progressive sell down of Ironbridge from our share register

    • Reinvigorating relationships, retaining customers, and winning significant new business

    • Acquiring Right2Drive, a growing consumer business that has a strong strategic fit for Eclipx

    • Restructuring Eclipx’s corporate debt programme providing further funding headroom for growth

    • Applying best-in-class technology to drive business growth

    • Launching new products and enhancing existing products

    • Diversifying our distribution through new partnerships and alliances

    • Leveraging our increased size and scale to lower transport and vehicle disposal costs

    • Optimising and developing new vehicle disposal channels to improve profit per disposed vehicle

Financial Highlights

On behalf of your Board I am pleased to report robust inaugural full year results for the year ended 30 September 2016, including:

  • NPATA of $55.3 million, up 14%

  • New Business Writings in FY16 were up 15% to $913 million

  • Assets Under Management growing by 15% to finish the year at $2.04 billion

  • Our Cash Earnings Per Share grew 10% to 22.2 cents per share
