TREASURY GROUP ANNOUNCES 20% LIFT IN DIVIDEND
Treasury Group (ASX:TRG) today announced a consolidated net profit after tax of $18.00 million for the financial year to 30 June 2007, up 25% on the previous year. This result indicates the solid growth across the business and reflected the profit on sale of Treasury Group’s 50% interest in Armytage private Limited and a valuation increment on convertible notes owned in RARE Infrastructure.
Total funds under management (FUM) at 30 June 2007 amounted to $14.46 billion, an increase of $4.36 billion or 43% on the previous year. The increase in FUM was attributable to strong growth in Orion Asset Management in its own right and through its distribution alliance with US asset manager Trilogy Global Advisors. The increase in FUM was also attributable to growth in Treasury Asia Asset Management and Global Value Investors and some growth in Investors Mutual Limited. The other highlight for the year was the progress and business development of RARE Infrastructure.
Treasury Group has declared a final dividend of 35 cents per share to be paid on 28 September 2007, fully franked. This brings the full year dividend to 60 cents per share fully franked, an increase of 20% on the previous year’s dividend of 50 cents.
Treasury Group managing director, David Cooper said, “This past year has seen the company move into its next phase of growth and development. A pleasing feature of the past twelve months has been the development of the new boutiques. That development, combined with another great year for Orion and a steady year for IML, produced an all round solid result”.

==> picture [264 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
Revenue
Revenue from continuing operations of the group increased 13% from $51.61m to $58.25m and reflects the consolidation of results of its 100% owned subsidiary Treasury Group Investment Services as well as the following three fund managers in which Treasury Group has a controlling stake:
| Fund Manager Investors Mutual Limited Global Value Investors Limited (GVI) Treasury Asia Asset Management Limited (TAAM)* |
TRG Interest |
|---|---|
| 50% 67% 41% |
The increase in revenue is due to an increase in the average FUM for the three fund managers referred to above of $5.9b in 05/06 to $6.24b in 06/07.
- The 41% investment in TAAM is consolidated due to Treasury Group’s control of the board.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA)
EBITDA (pre associates) increased by 14% over the year reflecting the following:
-
Improved financial and operational positions of GVI and TAAM. During the course of 06/07 both businesses experienced growing levels of FUM that resulted in reduced losses and eventual break even positions. Both businesses commence 07/08 from a profitable position;
-
Increased employee costs due to increases in headcounts across the managers as well as changes to compensation structures; and
-
Revaluation increment on the investment in RARE Infrastructure of $1.15 million (pre tax).
Pre - tax Profit
Profit before tax grew by 15% partly due to solid growth in the share of profits from associates, which increased year on year by $0.5 million or 12% to $4.65 million as a result of continued growth from Orion.
Treasury Group equity accounts those entities in which its interest is less than 50%. As at 30 June 2007 these included:
Orion Asset Management Limited 42% Confluence Asset Management Limited 35%
Profit on sale of discontinued operation
The profit on sale of discontinued operations reflects the sale by Treasury Group of its 50% interest in Armytage private Limited (ApL) on 11 July 2006.

==> picture [264 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (eps) increased 24% from 65.39 cents to 80.79 cents. The increase in earnings per share was impacted by the increase in the number of shares on issue throughout the year from 22,075,258 to 22,582,591 as a result of the exercise of options. The weighted average number of shares on issue increased 1.2% from 22.022m to 22.285m shares.
Diluted eps (including options yet to be exercised) increased 25% from 63.66 cents to 79.44 cents.
Normalised Earnings
The results for 2006/07 were impacted by the profit on sale of ApL and the revaluation increment on the investment in RARE Infrastructure. If these impacts are ignored, comparable earnings are as follows:
Reported net profit after tax $18.004m After tax profit on sale of ApL ($1.250m) Revaluation increment (after tax) ($0.805 m) NPAT excluding one off items $15.949m
This represents an increase of 10.8% on the headline NPAT for 2005/06. The contribution of performance fees were 40% less than the contribution to last year’s results. This reflects a higher quality of recurring earnings for 2007.
Cash Flow
The group continues to display strong cash flow characteristics. Net cash flows from operating activities increased by $3.83 million to $27.32 million. This was the due to increased revenues attributable to managing increased funds as well as dividends from associated businesses. During the year the consolidated group invested $3.9 million in funds managed by members of the group and redeemed $3 million from similar type investments. Treasury Group loaned $2.6 million to an associated business on commercial terms similar to the terms extended to other start up businesses in the group. Treasury Group received $3.4 million from the exercise of options issued to employees and executives of the group.
Dividend
On 28 August, the Treasury Group board declared a 35 cents per share (cps) fully franked dividend taking the total dividend for the financial year to 60 cps. This represents a 20% increase on the prior year dividend of 50 cps.
The final dividend will be paid on 28 September, 2007.

Review of Operations
Treasury Group Investment Services (TIS) - (100% owned at 30 June 2007)
Treasury Group through TIS provides its managers with risk and compliance services as well as a Responsible Entity function. TIS also acts as investment manager for a listed investment company, Premium Investors Limited. During the year, TIS assisted with launching 5 new managed investment schemes for the managers and was appointed as the investment manager, promoter and global distributor for the Dublin based funds operated by TG Investment Funds plc. TIS is now exploring business and licensing requirements in other jurisdictions with a view to expanding the opportunities available to managers in the group.
Investors Mutual Limited (IML) - (50% owned at 30 June 2007)
IML’s funds under management increased from $5.4bn to $6.0bn over the year. IML launched a new small companies fund and expanded its investment team. IML has stayed true to its value investment philosophy which places it as an attractive investment manager option, based on recently volatility in global equity markets.
Orion Asset Management Limited (Orion) - (42% owned at 30 June 2007)
Orion’s solid investment performance continued and Orion’s funds under management increased 46% to $6.0bn on the back of institutional support.
During the year Orion formed a distribution alliance with Trilogy Global Advisors, a New York based asset management business. The Trilogy/Orion alliance launched three new managed investment schemes. In total, the assets under management in those schemes, and in segregated mandates, are in excess of $648 million.
Global Value Investors (GVI) - (67% owned at 30 June 2007)
GVI has been highly successful in gaining access to a range of major retail platforms as well as other financial planning relationships including Asgard, Navigator, Bridges, BT and Macquarie wraps.
GVI is now well established in the retail market. Over the past year its funds under management have increased to over $500m and its investment performance continues to be encouraging, exceeding the broader MSCI benchmark.
During the year, GVI won the Morningstar Emerging International Fund Manager of the year award.
Treasury Asia Asset Management (TAAM) - (41% owned at 30 June 2007)
TAAM achieved significant growth in funds under management especially in the last quarter of 06/07. TAAM is now managing mandates on behalf of large blue chip clients and has been awarded strong ratings by a number of leading retail research houses. TAAM launched the first Dublin-based fund in April 2007 and opened a Singapore office in July 2007. Investment performance has been very good and the business has increasing interest from potential offshore clients. TAAM has gained representation on a number of the leading retail platforms and is progressing on the institutional front with solid ratings from the major asset consultants. Management believes that 07/08 will be another strong year of growth for TAAM.

RARE Infrastructure (RARE) - (option over 40% of equity at 30 June 2007)
Established at the end of the 2006 financial year, RARE Infrastructure’s investment focus is in listed and unlisted investments in global infrastructure securities. RARE’s business objective is to capitalise on the development of infrastructure as a separate and distinct asset class and to provide investors with superior Risk Adjusted Returns to Equity.
RARE has had a very busy year establishing its credentials with the major asset consultants both domestically and overseas, launching a managed investment scheme to provide access for retail clients, as well as securing mandates from some of the major institutions in Australia. It has recently launched a Dublin-based fund and is seeking to establish relationships abroad.
Post Balance Date Events
Confluence Asset Management (Confluence) - (35% owned at 30 June 2007)
Confluence is a small companies specialist. During the year it increased its funds under management by 61% to $376m. However, while Confluence has more than met its investment objectives since inception, and performance has been strong in the last two years, the business has not attracted the level of support that was anticipated.
The principals have therefore made a commercial decision to wind down the business in an orderly fashion. Campbell Boag has a range of other business interests which he wishes to pursue.
From a Treasury Group perspective, while the decision to close the business is regrettable, from a financial perspective it will not have a material impact on its results.
Confluence is working closely with its clients to transition their portfolios. A substantial part of the trading has been completed and the balance will proceed over the next two to three months. It is expected that the transitions will be completed before the end of December 2007.
Cannae Capital Partners (Cannae) – (rights to take up to 40% of equity)
On 17 July, TRG formed Cannae Capital Partners in conjunction with Hugh Giddy, Andy Forster and David Greer. Cannae will specialise in Australian and New Zealand equities. Management is very excited about partnering with such a highly talented and well regarded team. The business will be in a position to manage money by October 2007 and early interest has been extremely positive.
Treasury Group will take up a 35 percent interest in Cannae by way of exercising a convertible note and other shareholders in Cannae have issued an option to Treasury Group under which it can acquire an additional 5 percent of Cannae to bring its long term equity holding to 40%.

The Year Ahead
A feature of the past twelve months has been the steady performance of Investors Mutual, the growth of Orion Asset Management and our new managers, TAAM, GVI and RARE. We expect this activity to accelerate for the new managers as these businesses generate further interest both domestically and offshore. The focus on developing our international capability will continue in a strategic and considered manner. The group is also planning to add to its distribution capability both on the retail and wholesale levels.
Domestically we are confident that the more established fund managers, Orion and IML, will continue to receive strong support from the market.
Strategically, we remain committed to the support and development of boutique fund managers. Specifically this means providing a reliable and well run back office services plus marketing assistance where required. Growth in funds under management can potentially come from all six fund managers adding to the diversification of the earnings base. We continually remain on the look out for new managers to add to our stable in 2007/08 as long as they meet the stringent criteria in assessing people, processes, investor demand.
At an industry level, we have exposure to the superannuation industry which continues to grow on the back of a strong retirement savings policy supported by both political parties. The heightened awareness of boutique asset management among institutional and retail investors will also enhance Treasury Group’s reputation as a leading developer of funds management businesses which should ensure future growth.

CONFLUENCE ASSET MANAGEMENT
- Business decision to close
� Rationale:
� The business specialized in smaller companies management and was experiencing difficulty in scaling up
- The key executive has other business interests that he would now like to pursue
� Treasury Group was pleased to be able to partner with Campbell Boag for four years. Campbell produced outstanding investment returns for all his clients over the past four years.
� The impact on Treasury Group earnings is less than 2%

New boutiques
-
The first big hurdle a boutique faces is the start up.
-
The second big hurdle is getting the business to breakeven and in the black!
-
The next slide gives you an appreciation for the achievement of GVI, TAAM and RARE in jumping both these hurdles.
