Growth Opportunities for Certegy in Solar
-
The next major phase for the domestic Solar PV sector is Solar Battery Storage systems which are rapidly being developed and will become increasingly significant in sales volumes over the next 1 – 5 years (first Australian units being installed currently)
-
This technology significantly enhances the economic benefit of domestic solar systems and reduces investment payback period. It is estimated ~1m Australian households will have Battery Storage inside the next 5 years[2]

Cash NPAT & Receivables growth
-
Chattel Mortgage introduced in December 2015 and is generating strong interest in the broker channel

New Zealand Leasing
Strong volume growth drives 63% Cash NPAT growth (+63% in local currency)
Key financial performance highlights
-
Cash NPAT at $5.2m is up 63% on the prior year driven by strong receivables growth, continued low impairment rates and synergies realized from recent acquisitions
-
Volume growth of 70% primarily due to the TRL acquisition (May-15) but also growth from existing vendors
-
Receivables of $175m are up 143% due mainly to the TRL acquisition. Organic growth in receivables has predominantly come from lower credit risk SME and Education sectors
-
Reduction in Cash NPAT/ANR metric is due to a shift in receivables mix, with a greater proportion of larger, lower yielding, lower risk government and commercial transactions
Growth Outlook
-
TRL to continue to provide a platform for further growth through the Education & SME channels
-
The NZ Ministry of Education have signed a 2-year extension of their existing contract with TRL. The TELA program leases approximately 47,000 laptops to NZ teachers and principals over a three year period
-
Opportunity remains to expand the core leasing product particularly into the SME and Education channels
-
Access to EFL customer base from FPF acquisition to provide further receivables growth in commercial sector, EFL will be consolidated into New Zealand Leasing segment once FPF acquisition is completed

Performance

-
+8% growth in receivables and lower funding costs, delivering a $7.1m increase in net portfolio income (after impairment)
-
Cost to Income ratio has decreased to 39% in 1H16 through continued tight control of costs and deployment of investment program partially offset by higher depreciation charges
-
Cost of funds benefit from ongoing successful securitisation program in addition to improved funding terms achieved from banks on warehouse funding facilities

Cost to Income Ratio [1]
----- End of picture text -----
Cost / Income Ratio
-
Cost to Income ratio decreased to 39% driven by:
-
Ongoing tight control of costs and scale efficiency benefits
-
Synergies realised from acquisitions completed
-
Investment in customer facing digitisation projects which are beginning to show benefits in both cost efficiency and customer experience (e.g. fully online applications process)
-
Rationalisation of corporate centre costs
Capital Expenditure
Capex investment to return to industry benchmark levels after FY16 ($m)
Applications originated via online portal (% of combined POS & SME applications)
- Benefits of digitisation projects beginning to drive customer behaviour (e.g. online applications) and now positively impacting resource requirements and cost structure (e.g. average handling time, no touch applications)
==> picture [215 x 179] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [218 x 186] intentionally omitted <==
-
Flexible payment options rolled out (weekly, fortnight, monthly) to drive lower delinquencies and improved customer experience – likely impact 2H16 onwards
-
Investment program is expected to return to industry benchmark levels of Capex / Income ratio of 4-6% of portfolio income after FY16
Note: 1. Think Office Technology employs a different cost structure to all other FXL businesses. Ratio used above excludes TOT to ensure accurate trend comparison

FXL - Impairment Losses
Impairment has increased with higher Certegy loss rates and higher Consumer mix in portfolio
Performance
-
Net impairment losses increased to 3.5% of ANR driven by increased loss rates in Certegy and higher consumer mix in portfolio and resulting provision increase
-
Certegy impairment losses impacted by higher losses in some segments. Action has been taken to tighten approval rates where appropriate. Significant one-off losses booked ~$0.8m as a result of Certegy NZ expansion suspended ahead of FPF acquisition
-
As business moved to increased penetration of online applications within POS leasing, some increased fraud activity has occurred in 1H16. This has been addressed by implementing enhanced fraud detection technology and processes and is reverting to prior levels
-

FXL - Cash Flow
Strong operating cash flow supports investment in capital projects and receivables growth
Performance
- Cash at bank was $137.2m as at 31 December 2015
Cash Flow Bridge 1H16 ($m)
- Proceeds from rights issue received in November and temporarily invested into self-funded receivables and corporate debt repayment until FPF deal settlement in 2H16
==> picture [396 x 231] intentionally omitted <==
-
Impressive operating cash flow generation capabilities of the business allow FXL to reinvest funds into receivables growth
-
Capital expenditure to upgrade IT platforms and support diversification of the business continues in line with the strategy and within previously communicated range
Outlook
-
Corporate debt facility was increased from $100m to $187.5m to create capacity for FPF settlement and to retain headroom for organic and non-organic growth
-
Self-funded receivables will be funded via warehouse facilities in 2H16 to release cash prior to FPF settlement
-
Drawn balance of corporate facility will increase from nil (as at 31 December 2015) to $130-150m after FPF completion
-
Dividend payout forecast to remain at 50-60% of Cash NPAT
Note: 1. Restricted cash represents balances on collection accounts, which are held as part of the Group’s funding arrangements and are not available to the Group as at reporting date
18
FXL - Balance Sheet
Proceeds from equity raising to be deployed in 2H16
Performance
-
FXL gearing temporarily reduced to zero and ROE impacted by rights issue undertaken in period to fund FPF acquisition and timing lag of completion due to receiving regulatory approvals
-
FPF deal is being funded via an optimal mix of equity, perpetual vendor note and corporate debt
-
Increased gearing after the completion will be well supported by strong Cash NPAT contribution from F&P Finance
-
SPV borrowings are non-recourse to FXL
-
Borrowings are matched to customer contract term and interest rates are fixed to match fixed income products
-
No bullet repayments on receivables funding

Outlook
-
83% of total borrowings are fixed to contract term, which provides protection against underlying movements in base interest rates
-
Remaining 17% of borrowings relate to Interest Free Cards and corporate facility which are funded off a floating rate. FXL has the ability in IFC to vary the customer rates to match any underlying change in official interest rates
-
FXL’s strategy of diversifying funding sources has resulted in an ongoing reduction in FXL’s funding costs
Notes:
- Gearing = Recourse borrowings as a percentage of FlexiGroup equity adjusted for goodwill and intangibles Non-recourse borrowings are secured against FXL’s lease and interest free receivables and cash security in Special Purpose Entities (SPV’s)
19
FXL - Funding
Committed support from banks and institutions provide diverse funding sources
Performance
-
FlexiGroup continues to maintain a conservative funding strategy, underpinned by multiple committed debt facilities, matched term and rate structures for wholesale debt and an active debt capital markets presence
-
Strong stable relationships with 6 Australian institutions providing revolving committed facilities
-
FPF acquisition brings a well-established relationship with another major Australian bank and diversified funding structures in NZ with healthy tenure and headroom for growth
-
$100m corporate debt facility was undrawn as at the balance sheet date. The limit was increased to $187.5m with a maturity date extended to 2019
-
Ongoing process to optimise funding structure between bank warehouses, securitisation structures and corporate debt

Funding Facilities ($m)
----- End of picture text -----
==> picture [261 x 189] intentionally omitted <==
Outlook
-
FXL has substantial unused committed revolving facilities to fund growth in the foreseeable future, even without securitisation of receivables
-
Despite this, FXL will continue to securitise at appropriate times in the market through its ABS program to:
-
Decrease cost of funds
-
Improve capital efficiency
-
Maintain diversification of funding sources
