FY21 GUIDANCE CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN KEY GROWTH INITIATIVES

==> picture [44 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Targeted investment

▪ Responding to improving market dynamics to accelerate investment in key capabilities to further improve growth and performance

▪ EPS growth of over 20% on an annualised basis from the completion date of the Barrow Hanley acquisition

  • DPS growth of over 10% versus FY20

Underlying expenses

▪ Underlying expenses expected to be 1-3 % higher than FY20

  • Revised guidance recognises continued operating model benefits offset by acceleration of investment in distribution to take earlier advantage of improving market conditions as well as higher remuneration costs

Revised accounting treatment

▪ Revised accounting guidance has led to the 25% employee owned units in Barrow Hanley to be treated as an employee incentive scheme rather than a Non-Controlling Interest (NCI).

▪ Profit sharing distributions on these units are now accrued on the balance sheet and the expense taken through staff related costs

Expense base of acquired businesses

▪ The Trillium and Barrow Hanley costs, the continued build out of the distribution team and the revised accounting treatment of the employee owned units in Barrow Hanley are together expected to add a further 28-30% to the cost base in FY21

▪ Significant items[1] range has been lowered to $50-$55 million post tax due to improved exchange rate, lower transaction costs and timing of bolt-on acquisitions
