1.Includes \$9m in GraysOnline financing facilities

Highlights

  • Eclipx accessed the term ABS market on 3 occasions in 2017, resulting in a material release and recycling of capital invested in warehouses, a broadening of our debt funding and investor base, whilst achieving cost of funds reductions. Transactions completed as follows:
  • AUD330m fleet ABS issue completed in Dec 2016 allocated to 12 investors
  • NZD224m fleet ABS issue completed in Jun 2017 and allocated to 12 investors
  • AUD351m ABS issue including fleet, consumer auto and equipment finance receivables priced and allocated to 20 investors on Nov 2017
  • AUD300m corporate facility, with ability to increase to AUD425m providing additional capital for growth

APS 120

  • Eclipx has re-positioned its funding to facilitate changes from APS 120 in 2018 including refinancing non AAA notes from major trading banks to non-bank financiers
  • Eclipx has continued to diversify its funding investor base across all classes of notes in its warehouses and bond issues. This has resulted in reductions in Eclipx funding costs

Outlook

  • Eclipx has AUD275m in available financing resources for growth including cash (\$59m) and undrawn committed facilities (\$216m) available from banks together with Principal and Agency funding agreements with 20 financiers
  • Most diverse and competitive funding platform in the market which leverages warehouses, ABS and third-party funders. This mitigates our interest rate risk, provides funding certainty, significant headroom for growth and a clear point of differentiation
