Buy-back rationale[2]
Balance sheet position
- Organic capital generation and limited net debt
Tax and franking credits
-
Nil franking credits
-
No planned Australian tax instalments (Federal instant asset write-off policy), therefore no franking accruals, expected until late FY24
-
In the absence of franking credits to support dividends, on-market share buybacks considered the optimal form of capital distribution to shareholders
FY21 capital payout ratio and targets
-
Capital return to investors via share buy-back
-
65% of FY21 NPATA or $56m total capital return for FY21 as buy-back
-
Return is incremental $16m to the $40m previously announced during 2H21
-
Ongoing target CPR of 55-65% of NPATA, to be updated half yearly
Alternative uses of capital
- Ongoing capital returns are subject to no alternative use of capital arising that would otherwise generate a superior return on capital. For example, this could include organic growth beyond internal forecasts or acquisition opportunities
Notes:
-
Simple yield calculation being $56m capital return as a % of the market capitalisation post market close on 1 November 2021 Share buy-back remains subject to availability of share liquidity/volume and compliance with all regulatory and market restrictions. Target ranges subject to change based on underlying business performance and capital allocation decisions as determined by the Board.
-
$27.6m worth of shares acquired in buy-back to 30 September 2021, representing 12.23m shares purchased at an average price of $2.2532 per share relative to a market VWAP of $2.2635. All purchased shares have been cancelled

Primary cause
-
Order demand remains strong, but deliveries constrained by new car supply shortage. Customers ordering further in advance
-
Although recent imports are above historic average, OEM production remains below pre-COVID level, and a backlog remains
-
• Customers extending leases in the absence of new replacement vehicles / longer wait times

Primary cause
- Lack of supply of new vehicles driving temporary used vehicle price inflation
Consequences
Consequences
-
Fleet AU & Novated order time increased by c.4.5 months
-
Fleet NZ order time increased by c.3 months
Expectations
-
Order times normalise as supply returns
-
Lead times remain challenged in calendar year 2022

==> picture [60 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [74 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [55 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
Consequences
- Higher yielding leases given income is earned off a lower asset base as extended leases continue to depreciate
Expectations
-
Reverts to pre-COVID extension levels as supply is restored and orders are fulfilled
-
Extended leases being replaced by new leases written at more normalised yields
-
Strong near-term EOL income and capital generation
Expectations
-
Market is temporary and expected to normalise over time with the return of supply towards pre-COVID levels of $2,200 to $2,500
-
Expecting gradual normalisation of EOL with the return of supply

Net operating income pre EOL and provisions up 8% on pcp driven by:
- Net margin expansion, higher maintenance profit and higher management fees
Provisions were down $7.4m on pcp mainly due to the release of FY20 COVID overlay
End of lease income up 108% on pcp driven by:
-
Strength in the used vehicle prices from higher demand and lower supply
-
EOL expected to normalise as supply is restored
Operating expenses down 2% on pcp driven by cost discipline
EBITDA up 63% on pcp driven by strong NOI and temporarily elevated EOL income

Comments
-
EBITDA growth of 63% driven by strong NOI of 32% and cost discipline. NPATA grew by 110% on pcp
-
NOI pre EOL and provisions up 8% pcp as net margin expansion, higher maintenance profit and higher management fees more than offset the declines in AUMOF and VUMOF
-
End of lease income (EOL) up 108% pcp driven by continued strength in the used vehicle market. EOL profit per unit was up 156%, partially offset by a 19% reduction in number of vehicles sold
-
Fleet and credit provisions have reduced by $7.4m on pcp mainly due to the release of FY20 COVID overlay
-
Operating expenses have reduced by 2% pcp, driven by disciplined cost management
-
Interest on corporate debt reduced 36% on pcp due to repayment of corporate debt given strong organic cash generation
-
Non-recurring items mostly driven by redundancy payments and corporate debt refinancing costs which enhances flexibility and lowers debt expense

Relates to the increases of ECX’s ESOP Trust share count from 4.3m shares to 21.2m shares. The increase in the ESOP balance relates to the issuance of 5.5m shares and the on-market purchase of 4.5m shares into the ESOP post the AGM in 2021. Throughout the year, IPO loan shares were also settled seeing the return of 6.8m additional shares into the ESOP Trust. All equity instruments vesting in FY22 are expected to be covered by the shares currently sitting in the ESOP Trust.

FY22 outlook
Group well positioned
Supply disruption
FY21 NPATA up 110% on pcp 121% cash conversion
Impacting vehicle deliveries (NBW), but customer order pipeline at all-time highs
Expectation is that supply returns, and the back log is cleared during 4Q CY22
Significant investment in traditional sales
Digital origination platforms expected to deliver growth, particularly as the supply-side normalises
EOL expected to remain elevated while supply remains constrained
Capital management
Operating environment
Share buy-back program increased from $40m to $56m—$28m returned to date (65% of FY21 NPATA) Implied yield of 7.2%[1]
Competition mostly rational, ex one foreign player
Tender activity and confidence is elevated Novated confidence expected post lockdown
Going forward, target capital payout ratio of 55 – 65% of NPATA
Emission reduction/EV transition
Strategic Pathways on track
Emission reduction/ESG focus and NZ Govt changes have escalated demand for lower emission fleets ECX is the only Climate Active certified FMO
Twelve months into execution and progressing to plan
Focus on activation & enhancement of digital origination platforms
Supporting clients with their ESG and emissions targets including EV fleet transitions

Illustration of steady state FY21 NOI after adjusting for COVID impacts
COVID had three influences on Group NOI: EOL (positive), NBW supply delays (negative) and Provisions (positive)—table below reflects an illustrative steady state FY21 NOI
| FY21A | Adj. | PF FY21 | Adjustments | Adjustments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NBW & AUMOF | |||||
| • | NBW was impacted by lower deliveries from new vehicle supply constraints | ||||
| • | Extensions and orders, both metrics not reflected as new business writings, are respectively $67m and 2.1x above pre-COVID levels | ||||
| NBW | $644m | c.$133m | c.$777m | • • |
After adjusting for increased extensions and the order pipeline, conservatively ECX would have delivered an incremental c.$133m of NBW Adjustments factored in the differences in the book value of extended vehicles vs new vehicles (ie new vehicle book values are higher than extended |
| vehicles), as well the elongated order time frames in the wake of supply constraints (ie customers ordering 6 – 9 months before expected delivery, | |||||
| relative to the typical 3 months pre-COVID) | |||||
| AUMOF | $1.9bn | c.$0.1bn | c.$2.0bn | • | FY21 closing AUMOF illustratively increased by incremental NBW of c.$133m |
| NOI pre EOL & provisions | |||||
| • | NOI pre EOL & provisions adjustments were based on calculating the margin of NOI pre EOL & provisions as a percentage of average AUMOF | ||||
| • | This approach is a simple proxy, which does not consider the complexity of upfront vs annuity style income | ||||
| • | FY21 NOI pre EOL & provisions of $151m implied a margin on average AUMOF of 7.7%—this is relative to c.6.9 – 7.0% in FY19 & FY20 | ||||
| • | The FY21 margin was positively supported by CoF enhancements, increased maintenance margins due to lower vehicle utilisation through COVID | ||||
| Margin % of average AUMOF |
7.74% | (0.25%) | 7.50% | • | lockdowns & higher return on extended leases. The FY21 margin was negatively impacted by lower funding commissions relating to lower NBW through third party funders In a BAU environment, ECX would have seen margin expansion from CoF enhancements and increased funding commissions from higher third party |
| funded NBW. Offsetting this, ECX would have experienced some relative margin contraction relative to the FY21 margin in maintenance due to | |||||
| normalised vehicle utilisation and lower lease extensions | |||||
| • | Combined, ECX would have expected to see NOI pre EOL & provisions as a percentage of average AUMOF stable to marginally lower relative to the | ||||
| FY21 actual margin (7.5 – 7.75%) | |||||
| NOI pre EOL & provisions range |
$152m | c.$1m | c.$152m | • | After adjusting for pro forma margin contraction and elevated AUMOF, illustrative normalised NOI pre EOL & provisions would be flat on FY21A |

New vehicle supply
New vehicle supply has constrained ECX’s ability to write new business—for the most part, OEMs appear to be past the low points of their production cycles, and general consensus is that as supply returns, the backlog of orders is expected to be cleared during 4QCY22
Commentary
-
Lower NBW is a function of supply
-
OEMs are unable to fulfill demand
-
Customer demand for vehicles remains strong
-
ECX’s order pipeline and extensions are at record highs
-
ECX’s order to NBW cycle time has increased from 0.6 – 2 months to over 5 – 6 months in Fleet AU & Novated, and in Fleet NZ from 2 month to 5 months
-
OEM production delays arising primarily from the microchip shortages, which has extended the supply cycle time from order to NBW
-
Indications from September figures suggest car production and export levels around the world continue to face obstacles due to chip shortages
-
Global vehicle production levels are past their low and AU imports are above historic averages, but imports are expected to remain elevated as the order backlog is filled
-
Imports into Australia have largely recovered from COVID, however the majority of sales currently are being diverted to higher margin private buyers over corporate fleets
-
Sales of imported vehicles from Japan & in particular China have rebounded significantly in 2021
-
Sales of imported vehicles from Germany have seen the largest decline in 2021 relative to 2020
