FY2006 Outlook

  • Solid start to the 2006 financial year.
  • Employment market has remained strong
  • Migration from print to online continues to drive market growth.
  • Earnings for the 4 months to 31 October 2005 are ahead of our Prospectus forecasts.
  • If the current strength in the employment market is sustained, we would expect our 2006 results to be ahead of the Prospectus forecast of \$40m EBITDA.
  • Current market general consensus estimate for EBITDA for the $\blacksquare$ 2006 financial year is approximately \$43m. As a guide, SEEK is comfortable with this current consensus estimate.
  • Given we have a prospectus forecast in place, and in line with ASX continuous disclosure rules, the board believe it is appropriate to provide this earnings update. 13
