Review of Operations – Group Performance

Performance Summary

Cash NPAT from continuing activities of $90.3m; represents a 4% decline compared with $94.1m in the prior corresponding year. Net receivables increased to $2,047m, representing a 9% increase from $1,874m in the prior corresponding year. Cash EPS of 24.2c represents an 11% decline from 27.2c compared to prior corresponding year. The decline in Cash EPS is due to an increase in weighted average number of shares held during the year following the capital raising in November 2015, and the decrease in Cash NPAT. Below is the continuing operations Cash NPAT reconciliation from prior year and an analysis of the movements.

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

  • Certegy delivered a $33.9m Cash NPAT, a decrease in profit by $1.5m compared to the prior corresponding year. The decrease was driven primarily by increased competition and some margin compression, reduced volume and an increase in both the average term and average contract value, resulting in net portfolio income declining from $97.3m to $94.2m.

  • Australia Cards delivered a $9.7m Cash NPAT, a $4.3m decrease compared to the prior corresponding year. The increase in volume and receivables of 61% and 55% is subject to a time lag in profit generation. The increase in funding costs on initial interest free balances as new customers are acquired and a portfolio driven increase in losses contributed to the profit decline. This business is in a good position to grow significantly in the future as the receivables portfolio mix rebalances between interest and non-interest bearing.

  • Australia Leasing performance shows a Cash NPAT of $13.9m, a decrease of $12.6m (48%). The decline is resulting from a shift in receivables mix towards lower yielding; higher quality commercial assets which has temporarily impacted short term profitability. Furthermore, changes to the Consumer lease product to improve customer value has affected short-term profitability, however is delivering improved levels of customer engagement and driving higher rates of repeat business. In addition, segment profitability has been impacted by ongoing investment in product development initiatives in commercial managed services, Oxipay and Ireland (which form part of Australia Leasing segment) that are aimed at setting the Group up for future organic growth.

  • New Zealand Leasing performance is stable with a minor decline of $0.2m, despite the 9% reduction in both volume and receivables during the year. This was underpinned by increased revenue and a decrease in impairments, offset by an increase in operating expenses to support new business initiatives.

5

FlexiGroup Limited and its controlled entities Preliminary Final Report For the year ended 30 June 2017

  • NZ Cards shows an increase of $18.5m, driven primarily by the 12 months contribution of NZ Cards to Group results, compared to 4 months in the prior corresponding year. Receivables are stable compared to prior year, and the business is primed for strong growth going into the future.

  • Net corporate debt interest expense increased by $3.7m in current year, driving Group profits lower compared to the prior year. This is due to the higher average corporate debt in current year due to the debt funding of the acquisition of Fisher & Paykel Finance on 28 February 2016.

Total portfolio income

Total portfolio income increased 17% to $462.8m, mainly due to the full year contribution from NZ Cards. The 55% increase in the Australia Cards portfolio also resulted in increased fee income. The Australian Leasing business is increasingly showing a rebalance from high yielding consumer to lower yielding commercial business, resulting in a drag in segment revenue.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased 29% to $102.0m, driven by the full year contribution from NZ Cards, increase in interest on corporate debt due to increased average borrowings and increased funding costs to support the growth in the Australia Cards business. The Group is focused on managing funding costs, with the newly established Australia Cards funding structure expected to result in cost of funds savings in FY18 and beyond.

Impairment losses on loans and receivables

The 20% decrease in impairment losses compared to prior year reflects the impact of FY16 one-off impairments in the Enterprise portfolio that is currently in run-off. Excluding this one-off provision, impairment expenses from continuing operations increased by 16%, reflecting increased impairment losses in the Australia Cards and NZ Cards businesses, driven by portfolio growth and a full year contribution respectively. The Group continues to focus on strategies to proactively manage losses, as demonstrated by the decline in losses in Australia Leasing and the stabilisation in the Certegy segment. Overall impairment cost as a percentage of average net receivables has dropped from 3.5% to 2.9%.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation and amortisation has increased 13% due to the full year contribution from NZ Cards and the impact of prior year capital projects that went live in FY17.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased 3%; this includes the full year contribution from NZ Cards offset by certain one-off costs of $33.5m in the prior year. Significant investment has also been made in developing and launching new products and on boarding new merchants.

Non-cash items are excluded from cash profit, which is management’s and the Directors’ preferred measure of the Group’s financial performance, as they tend to be non-recurring in nature and are not considered to be representative of the Group’s ongoing financial performance. The impacts of these items on the Group’s statutory profit are outlined below and are treated consistently with the prior year.

Amortisation of acquired intangibles

The acquisition of companies over the years has resulted in the recognition of intangible assets that are amortised over their useful life ranging from 3 to 27 years. The amortisation of these intangible assets is treated as a non-cash item because it does not affect cash distributions available to shareholders. During the year, $4.2m post tax has been amortised to the income statement (2016: $3.7m).

Other adjustments

Other adjustments in the current year relates to the share of equity accounted losses relating to the Group’s investment in Kikka. In the prior year, the one-off items related to impairment losses in the Enterprise business of $16.7m, business acquisition costs of $5.6m and impairment of goodwill and software of $20.8m.

Discontinued operations

Effective 1 July 2017, the Enterprise business, which previously formed part of the Australia Leasing segment was discontinued and placed in run-off. The results of that business are considered non-core and do not form part of Group maintainable cash earnings. Prior year comparatives have been restated to reflect the discontinuance.

FlexiGroup Limited and its controlled entities Preliminary Final Report For the year ended 30 June 2017

Receivables and customer loans

Receivables and customer loans (including other debtors) increased by 4% to $2,165.9m compared to June 2016 driven primarily by the growth in customer loans. Customer loans before bad debts has increased by $166.5m, underpinned by 55% growth in the Australia Cards business. The receivables for NZ Cards and Certegy segments have remained consistent with the prior year. The strong growth in customer loans has been partially offset by the decline in the receivables portfolio, mainly due to the run-off in the Enterprise portfolio.

Goodwill

The increase in goodwill resulted from a $15.2m fair value adjustment relating to the FY16 Fisher and Paykel Finance acquisition. The acquisition of Take Home Layby contributed $1.0m and $1.9m relates to the reclassification of Think Office Technology goodwill from disposal group held for sale to assets held for use. The movement in exchange rates resulted in a $4.4m increase in goodwill relating to the New Zealand businesses.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include merchant and customer relationships, brand names and software. These are amortised over the useful life ranging from 3 to 27 years. The increase resulted from a combination of project capital expenditure, the recognition of intangible assets through fair valuation of Fisher and Paykel Finance net assets and the acquisition of Take Home Layby merchant relationships.

Payables

Payables include trade creditors, interest accruals, GST payable and sales incentive accruals. Balances have remained consistent with the prior year, reflecting the similar nature and timing of payments within the business.

Borrowings

Borrowings have increased by 3% to $2,007.7m, driven by the funding requirements to support the growth in the Australia Cards business. On 30 June 2017, the Group secured a new facility to fund both the existing and future Australia Cards business and manage cost of funds. The cash release from the refinancing was utilised to pay down the corporate debt borrowings.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities include provisions, derivative financial instruments and deferred and contingent consideration payable. The decrease in other liabilities is mainly from the decrease in fair value of derivative financial instruments, which has decreased $7.1m, as a result of changes in the swap rate compared to the prior corresponding year.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities

Tax balances are stable compared to prior year, with the decrease in net tax liabilities attributable to an overpayment of tax in Australia.

Funding

FlexiGroup maintains a conservative funding strategy; to retain committed funding facilities for all scale businesses, combined with an active debt capital markets presence. The Group currently has revolving wholesale debt facilities in place with Australian Deposit Taking Institutions, large international banks, plus numerous institutional investors in its Asset Backed Securities (ABS) program.

During the 2017 financial year, the Group completed the $265.0m Flexi ABS Trust 2017-1 securitisation in February 2017 and a new $550m facility to fund both the existing Australia Cards business and future growth. The new facility was secured on significantly improved terms and has an expiry date of June 2020.

At balance sheet date, the Group had $2,607.0m of wholesale debt facilities, with $703.2m undrawn and no indications that facilities will not be extended. The majority of the wholesale debt facilities ($2,217.3m) have no bullet repayment on maturity, with outstanding balances repaying in line with receivables and customer loans if availability periods were not to be extended. These facilities are secured against underlying pools of receivables and customer loans. The remaining wholesale debt facilities either have a soft bullet or have sufficient lead-time for re-extension when approaching maturity.

The Group’s $177.5m (2016: $187.5m) of corporate debt facilities were drawn to $126.2m (2016: $142.0m) at balance date. These facilities are secured by the assets of the Group, and with a maturity date in 2020.

8

FlexiGroup Limited and its controlled entities Preliminary Final Report For the year ended 30 June 2017

Gearing

The reduction in recourse corporate debt gearing to 53% (June 2016: 67%) is driven by repayment of corporate borrowings during the period through excess funds generated from operating activities and cash release from refinancing of the Australia Cards funding facilities. The funding line for Australia Cards business, which results in a 33% decrease in capital contribution, will result in improved ROE in FY18.

The Group continues to optimise its capital structure to maximise shareholder value. The Group will continue to pay down recourse corporate debt with proceeds from operating activities.

Return on equity (‘RoE’)

ROE of 14% (June 2016: 19%) has reduced primarily due to additional capital requirements to support the growth in Australia Cards, the impact of discontinued businesses during the period and the reshaping of profit pool to cards compared to leasing. The Group expects long term ROE to increase as customer loans growth in Australia Cards mature into interest bearing.

Cash inflows from operating activities are up on prior year, with an increase of 9% to $161.0m (2016: $147.4m). The increase in cash inflows from operating activities is mainly from the full year contribution of NZ Cards as well as improved working capital management practices across the Group, as reflected by an improvement in changes in operating net assets.

Cash outflows from investing activities decreased by 29% to $191.2m (2016: $269.3m). There is significant increase in net investment in loans and receivables, driven by increased volume in both Australia and NZ Cards businesses. Capital expenditure remains relatively constant compared with prior year. In prior year, acquisitions and divestments were significant due to the Fisher and Paykel Finance acquisition.

Cash inflows from financing activities decreased 86% to $23.2m (2016: $164.8m), due to the non-recurrence of equity and debt capital raised to fund the acquisition of FlexiCards. Of particular note is the decrease in dividends paid, driven by a change in dividend policy. This change resulted in a reduced payout ratio to allow the Group to channel funds towards funding business growth and investment.

FlexiGroup Limited and its controlled entities Preliminary Final Report For the year ended 30 June 2017

Review of Operations - Segment Performance

FlexiGroup’s business consists of five core operating segments. The Enterprise business, which was put in run-off at the end of FY16, no longer forms part of core operations and is classified as Other, and not reported as part of core maintainable cash earnings. Interest on acquisition debt obtained to fund the acquisition of Fisher and Paykel Finance is unallocated but forms part of maintainable cash earnings.

  • Operating expenses decreased by 3% to $26.2m due to focus on cost management to address declining revenue.

  • Impairment losses decreased by 2% to $19.2m, reflecting the continuous improvements in our customer collections capability.

Cash NPAT 9.7 14.0 (31%)

Australia Cards’ Cash NPAT of $9.7m represents a decrease of 31% compared to the prior corresponding year.

  • Net portfolio income grew at 13%, slower than volume and receivables growth of 61% and 55% respectively. This is due to the time lag between origination and the generation of interest income due to the initial noninterest bearing nature of the portfolio.

  • Impairment losses increased by $4.2m pre-tax reflecting the growth in the loans portfolio, leading to a drag in profits. However, when expressed as a percentage of average net loans, losses remained steady at 3%, which is in line with the prior corresponding year.

  • Operating expenses increased by 64% to $17.9m primarily driven by increased headcount to support Cards growth, the size of receivables and the increase in new business volumes.

Closing receivables 299.0 272.0 10%
Cash NPAT 13.9 26.5 (47%)

Cash NPAT is $13.9m, a decrease of 47% on the prior corresponding year. The decline in profits resulted from the following factors:

  • Net portfolio income decreased by 13% to $92.2m, which was driven by lower fee and other income, partially offset by lower funding costs. The change in portfolio mix to low yielding commercial also affected income.

  • The divestiture of the mobile broadband business, in late 2016 and soft performance in Think Office Technology.

  • Operating expenses decreased by $20.7m to $60.8m due to non-recurrence of $33.5m one off costs relating to impairment of assets and acquisition costs incurred in FY16. Excluding these one off costs, like for like expenses increased by $12.8m, due to new product development costs in commercial managed services, Oxipay and Ireland, share of losses from associate of $2.0m and other costs to support the Group strategic plan, significantly affecting segment profitability.

  • Impairment losses decreased by 13% to $15.2m, driven by lower losses in the Commercial business and improved recoveries from continuous management of arrears.

  • The increase in sales volume of 25% to $205.0m was underpinned by the Commercial business. However, because of the low yield in that business, the volume increase did not offset the decline in Consumer revenue. Closing receivables however increased by 10% to $299.0m as a result of volume increase.

Segment Performance Analysis (continued)

New Zealand Leasing

New Zealand Leasing
A$m June 2017 June 2016 Change %
Net portfolio income 33.1 31.0 7%
Operating expenses (16.9) (14.6) 15%
Impairment losses on receivables (0.7) (1.2) (39%)
Volume 92.0 101.0 (9%)
Closing receivables 182.0 201.0 (9%)
Cash NPAT 11.5 11.7 (2%)

New Zealand Leasing’s Cash NPAT is $11.5m, a decrease of 2% on prior year, driven by:

  • Net portfolio income increased by 7% to $33.1m, which was mainly due to strong end of term performance particularly from the Equico portfolio, the ongoing TELA performance and the full year contribution from the integration of Equipment Finance Limited (EFL) leasing portfolio purchased as part of the Fisher & Paykel Finance acquisition in Feb 2016. The decrease in sales volume and net receivables of 9% impacted overall revenue growth.

  • Operating expenses increased by 15% to $16.9m, reflecting costs incurred to support sales initiatives.

  • Impairment costs have reduced by 42% to $0.7m, because of diligent management of arrears and customer collections undertaken during the year.

New Zealand Cards

A$m June 2017 June 2016 Change %
Net portfolio income 93.9 29.5 218%
Operating expenses (42.6) (13.1) 225%
Impairment losses on customer loans (12.6) (4.0) 214%
Volume 594.0 136.0 337%
Closing customer loans 617.0 620.0 (0%)
Cash NPAT 27.8 9.3 199%

New Zealand Cards’ Cash NPAT is $27.8m, an increase of 199% compared to the prior corresponding year. The increase is primarily due to the full year profit contribution in current year, compared with four months in FY16. Other factors include:

  • Net portfolio income of $93.9m remained steady over the year with MasterCard fee income and improved funding costs offset by a reduction in interest income due to lower receivables in the closed loop portfolios.

  • Operating expenses of $42.6m were impacted by spend associated with launching two new scheme cards - Q MasterCard and Flight Centre MasterCard, as well as the development of Oxipay.

  • Impairment losses were $12.6m, showing an improvement over the year as arrears continue to be closely monitored.

  • Volume of $594.0m was driven by the two new MasterCard products as well as the acquisition of a number of key merchants, particularly in the food and fuel category.

  • Closing loan receivables balance of $617.0m remained steady as growth in the new open loop portfolio was offset by a decline in the maturing closed loop products.

FlexiGroup Limited and its controlled entities Preliminary Final Report For the year ended 30 June 2017

1. Statement of significant accounting policies

a. Basis of preparation

The Preliminary Final Report (the Report) has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. FlexiGroup Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The Report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The Report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of FlexiGroup Limited and its controlled entities, and has been prepared on the basis of historical cost except in accordance with relevant accounting policies where assets and liabilities are stated at their fair values.

The Annual Financial Report is in the process of being audited and is expected to be made available in late September 2017. This Report should also be read in conjunction with any public announcement made by FlexiGroup during the year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and ASX Listing Rules.

b. Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies applied by the Group in this Preliminary Final Report are the same as those applied in the FlexiGroup Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016.

2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group’s accounting policies.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are same as those applied in the FlexiGroup Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016.

3.

Segment information

(a) Description of segments

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) that are used to make strategic decisions. The CEO and the Board, in addition to statutory profit after tax, assess the business on a Cash NPAT basis. Cash NPAT is defined as statutory profit after tax, adjusted for the after tax effect of material one-off items that the CEO and Board believe do not reflect ongoing operations of the Group and amortisation of acquired intangible assets.

The CEO considers the business from a product perspective and has identified six reportable segments; Certegy, Australia Cards (Lombard and Once Credit), Australia Leasing (consisting of FlexiRent, SmartWay, FlexiWay, FlexiCommercial and Think Office Technology), New Zealand Leasing, New Zealand Cards (FlexiCards) and unallocated consisting of net corporate debt interest.

The Enterprise business, which was previously reported as part of Australia Leasing is now disclosed as Other, as the business is in run-off and does not form part of ongoing core operations. Prior year comparatives have been restated to reflect the changes to reportable segments. New business generated from the retained Enterprise merchant base effective 1 July 2016 is now reported in FlexiCommercial and forms part of Australia Leasing segment.

The Group operates in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. The operating segments are identified according to the nature of the products and services provided with New Zealand disclosed separately (based on its product offering) and Ireland included within Australia Leasing.

The segment information provided to the CEO for the reportable segments for the year ended 30 June 2017 is as below:

(1) The acquisition of companies over the years has resulted in the recognition of merchant and customer relationships that are amortised over their useful lives ranging between 3 and 27 years. The amortisation of acquired intangible assets (excluding IT development and software), is a cash earnings adjustment because it is a non-cash item and does not affect cash distributions available to shareholders.

(2) The share of equity accounted losses is a non-cash, non-recurring item and is treated as an adjustment to the statutory profit for the year. The investment in associate has been fully impaired at 30 June 2017

(1) The acquisition of companies over the years has resulted in the recognition of merchant and customer relationships that are amortised over their useful lives ranging between 3 and 7 years. The amortisation of acquired intangible assets (excluding IT development and software), is a cash earnings adjustment because it is a non-cash item and does not affect cash distributions available to shareholders.

(2) Acquisition costs incurred in business acquisitions were treated as Cash NPAT adjustments as they are not expected to impact on future earnings of the acquired entities or the Group as whole. These acquisition costs we announced to the market on 27 October 2015 and relate to the acquisition of FlexiCards.

(3) As part of the broader strategic review of the business, some business units were identified as non-core. As a result, the recoverable amounts of the assets of Enterprise, Paymate, Telco (Blink) and some Interest Free Cards systems and Think Office Technology was estimated and this resulted in goodwill and other intangible assets (including capitalised software) of $20.8m being impaired. These impairments are non-cash, non-recurring and have no impact on the Company’s ability to pay dividends and have been adjusted to arrive at a maintainable cash earnings amount.

(4) Due to the Enterprise business being run-off, an additional provision was recognised against major single exposures in the portfolio. Additionally, other one-off provisions were recognised across receivables on the back of historical trends. This is a non-cash, nonrecurring item and is treated as an adjustment to the statutory profit for the year.
