Notes:
- Pro Forma results differ from the Statutory results in the Financial Statements due to adjustments to reflect the operating and capital structure of the business following completion of the IPO as if it was in place as at 1 July 2019. Adjustments are (i) the addition of estimated incremental public company costs associated with PEXA being a listed company, (ii) the removal of IPO costs which are recognised in the Statutory financial information, and (iii) the removal of the impact of the accelerated vesting and close-out of the

-
Charged on a per workspace basis (i.e. per lodgement, not per transaction)

-
Costs to develop and operate the PEXA platform

Main driver is headcount, third parties supporting platform operations and AWS hosting services
-
Higher costs in 1H22 (vs 1H21) with PEXA bolstering Data Management capability and increased hosting fees from higher transaction volumes
-
Total 1H22 Exchange development expenses (excl. growth initiatives) of $24.2m equates to 16.6% of revenue.


-
Costs associated with marketing, onboarding, training and supporting PEXA members

Combined with the growth in revenue this resulted in Pro Forma Exchange EBITDA up $36M, or 76% on 1H FY21
-
Pro Forma PEXA Exchange EBITDA Margin grew from 47.4% to 57.2% driven by strong market volumes, increased market share and prudent expense management

Income statement and reconciliation from Pro Forma to Statutory
-
Offer costs are portion of the total transaction costs relating to the IPO expensed in 1H FY22
-
Incremental public company costs represent an estimate of the additional costs PEXA will incur as a public company. They include additional audit, tax and legal costs, insurance, Board, investor relations, listing fees, share registry fees, AGM and annual report costs. These Pro Forma adjustments have been applied retrospectively in 1H FY21
-
The MEP (Management Equity Plan) was established in Jan-20 with the first grant issued in Jul-20. As a result of the Offer, the MEP vesting was accelerated, resulting in A$5.7 million of incremental cost recorded in the Statutory Income Statement in FY21. Taking this pro forma adjustment into account, the Pro Forma Forecast Income Statements reflect the ongoing cost of the MEP in FY21 and FY22 as though the Offer had not occurred ($0.3m in 1H22).
