- OCC is clear market leader with 84% share of ad volumes at 30 June 2012
Operational Update
• OCC has completed transition from "unlimited subscription" to "ad usage" model4
Outlook
- Still early but pleasing results from transition so far with significant increase in SME penetration
- Expect strong earnings growth in medium to long term to reflect OCC's strong market position

29 3Billing revenue represents cash received upfront from customers vs reported accounting revenue which is amortised based on ad usage post the ad plan transition. Billing revenue in H2 FY12 was MXN120.1m representing growth of +22% vs H1 FY12 and +20% vs H2 FY11. Ad plan transition in H2 FY12 impacted the accounting revenue profile with a longer period of amortisation than the previous model 4Previously the "unlimited subscription" advertisers would typically purchase a 3 month contract where they could advertise an unlimited number of jobs. Under the "ad usage pack model" advertisers buy ad packs based on a set number of ads with typically a ~12 month expiration period

Details of SEEK's "look-through" P&L Methodology
"Look-through" P&L Methodology
- "Look-through" Revenue & EBITDA presented for each respective 12 month period has been calculated based on:
- A) SEEK's proportional ownership interest at the end of each full year reporting period (as disclosed in the table opposite)
- X (multiplied (A) x (B))
- B) Underlying 100% Revenue or EBITDA of the entity or associate/JV
- As such, SEEK's "look-through" interest is not necessarily reflective of the pro-rata basis Revenue & EBITDA over period which that interest was held
- As a number of the entities (Associates /JVs) included in the "lookthrough" P&L are not controlled and therefore not consolidated by SEEK, the "look-through" Revenue and EBITDA does not reconcile to SEEK's Consolidated Reported Revenue & EBITDA
- A reconciliation between the "look-through" Revenue & EBITDA and the Consolidated Reported Revenue & EBITDA (as per SEEK's statutory accounts) has been provided in the next slide
JobsDB
- The "look-through" Revenue and EBITDA of JobsDB has been calculated as follows:
- On the basis of SEEK's 68.96% interest in SEEK Asia multiplied by SEEK Asia's 80% ownership interest in JobsDB as at 30 June ("look-through" ownership of 55.2%)
- For SEEK's statutory accounts, 100% of JobsDB's Revenue and EBITDA was consolidated in FY12 compared with May and June only in FY11

Operational movements
Other operating, investing & financing cash flows during FY12
45 1 Consideration payable by SEEK Asia to the founder of JobsDB was A$71.8m (HKD600m) at 30 June 2011. SEEK's interest in the A$71.8m was A$49.5m (68.96% x A$71.8m) and the co-investors in SEEK Asia's interest was A$22.3m (31.04%). The co-investors paid A$4.9m of their liability to SEEK prior to 30 June 2011 and as a result, SEEK's liability became A$54.4m (A$49.5m + A$4.9m). As a result of movements in exchange rates, SEEK settled its current obligation for A$70.3m and received A$17.0m from the co-investors in SEEK Asia (net outflow for SEEK A$53.4m) 2A$0.7m of the liability remains payable to the vendor at a future date
Key insights
FY12 Capex of $16.9m, growth of $4.8m (40%) on FY11 driven by:
- Growth in intangibles expenditure on FY11 as a result of investment in system development and product enhancements primarily in SEEK Domestic
- Comparable level of PP&E spend vs FY11, comprising:
- THINK campus fit-outs
- BAU IT infrastructure spend
- FY12 capex of A$16.9m was split across the Business Units as follows:
- SEEK Domestic A$6.0m
- SEEK Education A$9.5m
- SEEK International A$1.4m

Key Insights
Net Interest Expense
- Higher net debt at 30 June 2012 of A$227.8m was key driver of increased net interest expense1
- Higher net debt driven predominantly by the acquisition of JobsDB (various dates during 2011)
- Drawn debt as at 30 June 2012 was A$320.5m (syndicated facility limit of A$340m)
Depreciation
• Higher depreciation driven by Education and International businesses. Increases reflective of THINK office & campus fit-outs (A$1.2m), SEEK Learning A$0.3m (other assets) and International (+A$1.1m), driven by full year consolidation of JobsDB
Amortisation
- Higher amortisation due to full year impact of JobsDB PPA amortisation3 +A$4.6m (+A$2.5m post allocation to NCI)
- Refer to slide 56 for further detail
Amortisation of share-based payments & other LTI schemes
- Increase in FY12 vs FY11 to reflect the following:
- Lower FY11 expense due to benefit of Paul Bassat's options lapsing & other vesting conditions not being met (A$2.5m credit)
- In FY12, additional option allocations were made and accrued
- The ultimate payment of options expenses are subject to performance hurdles that may or may not be met
Other
• Reflects fair value gains (pre-tax) on OCC and Brasil Online acquisitions (A$28.2m), hedge gains (A$1.2m) and impairment loss for THINK Intangibles2 (A$24.1m)

'Normalised NPAT' does not adjust for the impact of additional JobsDB PPA amortisation in FY11 or FY12. JobsDB PPA amortisation was A$5.5m in FY12 (A$3.0m post NCI) & A$0.9m in FY11 ($0.5m post NCI)
47 1A review of the business operations and strategy has indicated that the carrying value of THINK's intangibles is higher than a recent internal valuation which is supported by reference to market-based valuation methodologies including comparison with recent transactions in the industry and cross checked with discounted cash flow analysis. As a result an impairment charge of A$24.1m (before tax) has been recognised in FY12, and allocated between brands and licences ($A1.6m) and goodwill ($A22.5m), total of A$23.6m post tax

Social Networks (incl. LinkedIn) - What is SEEK's position?
What we're seeing Our Assessment Our Strategy
-
Social networking is growing but fragmented with Facebook, LinkedIn, twitter and Google+ as leading players
- Also, seeing an emergence of network within networks (e.g. beknown by Monster on Facebook)
-
At the recruiter level there remains most interest in LinkedIn because it's a professional social network
-
At the top end of corporates we are seeing interest in LinkedIn and more broadly in social platforms such as Facebook from a brand and candidate engagement perspective
-
As the social space matures the calls for measuring ROI are growing louder
- Our research suggests <1% of placements reported by recruiters is attributable to social networking platforms – despite time & effort expended
-
Increasingly free access is restricted (in favour of direct monetisation) in turn adversely impacting the "network" effect
-
Important to "look-through" the headline audience numbers on LinkedIn as the actual job ad searches
-
Our threat assessment hasn't materially changed
- LinkedIn's core database product still feels complementary to job ads despite clear intent from LinkedIn to move in job ads direction
- SEEK's scale and value pricing is a strong defence (because it delivers very high ROI)
- Important to note that AU and US are very different - In the US, fragmented markets and high pricing makes building a "viable ads" proposition easier for entrants
-
Increasingly seeing opportunity in social more broadly
- Social is driving a willingness to share data which we are turning into deeper and richer relationships with jobseekers
- Our advertisers increasingly pushing SEEK ads across a range of social platforms extending our reach on a highly targeted basis
-
SEEK's position has always been to align its content with main sources of traffic
-
Stay focused on ROI leadership
- Our view of jobseeker intent and preferences delivers clear ROI advantages
- Make job search even more efficient
- Forming deeper relationships with jobseekers enhances our leadership position
- Our view of jobseeker intent and preferences delivers clear ROI advantages
-
Keep SEEK at the centre
- Integrating with a social network where it makes sense
- Help our advertisers access an increasingly fragmenting social world – help them understand where they are getting results
- Leverage our leadership position into a more efficient job seeker database
- 87% growth in SEEK's resumes database (H1 FY12 v H2 FY12)

4949 are ~1% of total activity on LinkedIn
SEEK Mobile is attracting strong visitor growth in Australia

Fair value gain arising from transactions
- One-off fair value gains in FY12 due to an increase in valuation from SEEK's original investments:
- OCC A$13.5m (post tax)
- Brasil Online A$11.6m (post tax)
Purchase Price Allocation (PPA)
- 9% • At acquisition date, the acquirer is required to separately identify the identifiable assets, liabilities & Non-Controlling Interests with the balance between these items and the acquisition price attributable to Goodwill. This is known as the Purchase Price Allocation ("PPA") process
- Accounting standards require fair values to be ascribed to the identifiable assets and liabilities and as such the amounts recognised in the acquirer's books may vary from those in the books of the acquired entity & some previously unrecognised assets may be recognised (e.g. contract or relationship intangibles)
- The acquirer has 12 months from acquisition date to finalise these adjustments
- The balance sheet impact of OCC and Brasil Online acquisitions at 30 June 2012 is detailed on slide 57
- The forecast amortisation profile of PPA assets is detailed on slide 56

PPA Amortisation Profile – OCC, Brasil & JobsDB

- The amortisation profiles provided above are estimates only and actual amortisation may be impacted by prevailing FX rates and finalisation of the Brasil & OCC PPA exercises1

Overview of Non-IFRS Information

Overview of SEEK's non-IFRS financial information
What is non-IFRS financial information?
- IFRS financial information is financial information that is presented in accordance with all relevant accounting standards
- Non-IFRS financial information is financial information that is presented other than in accordance with all relevant accounting standards. For example:
- Profit information calculated on a basis other than under accounting standard definitions or calculated in accordance with accounting standards and then adjusted, e.g. "normalised", "underlying" or "cash basis";
- Profits that exclude certain transactions, e.g. exclude "one-off" or "non-recurring" items; and
- Pro forma financial information
What non-IFRS financial information does SEEK disclose in its half year and full year results presentations?
- SEEK presents reported financial information for its business segments along with its Associates & JVs (IFRS financial information). The financial information presented is sourced directly from financial information prepared in accordance with all relevant accounting standards and as such has been subject to either review or audit by SEEK's external auditors (PwC)
- In SEEK's investor presentations, we aim to provide equal or greater prominence to IFRS financial information. However, we also present or refer to non-IFRS financial information
- Non-IFRS financial information is calculated based on underlying IFRS financial and adjusted to show either a position excluding abnormal items which have been removed OR presented based on SEEK's effective equity ownership interest of an entity's underlying revenue or EBITDA
- Any non-IFRS financial information is clearly labelled as "normalised", "pro forma" or "look-through" to differentiate it from reported/IFRS financial information
- SEEK provides reconciliations on the face of the slides, appendices and in the footnotes of the presentation in order allow the reader of the presentations to clearly reconcile between the IFRS and non-IFRS financial information.
Why does SEEK disclose non-financial information in its half year and full year results presentations?
- SEEK management believes that the presentation of additional non-IFRS information in its half year and full year results presentations provides readers of these documents with a greater understanding into the way in which management analyses the business as well as meaningful insights into the financial condition or SEEK's overall performance
- The Australian Securities and Investments Commission ("ASIC") acknowledges the relevance of non-IFRS financial information in providing "meaningful insight" as long as it does not mislead the reader
