CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

SHINE CORPORATE LTD

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

19 OCTOBER 2017

Before Simon presents his summary of the Company’s performance over the past year and outlook for the year ahead, I would like to make a few observations of my own.

This was a year of consolidation of our processes, focusing on our core capabilities and building for the future. Importantly for our shareholders, we had a return to more acceptable levels of profitability and improved returns on equity.

We achieved EBITDA of $36.5 million, an increase of 46 per cent on the previous year. Net profit after tax of $20.2 million compares with $14.8 million previously. Pleasingly, gross operating cash flow for the Group of $19.2 million represents a record outcome for the Group.

The Directors were pleased to declare a fully franked final dividend of 2 cents per Share. This adds to the 0.6 cents per Share unfranked interim dividend declared in February 2017.

These financial results are encouraging and the improvements we have made to the business this year represent a platform from which we can continue to build a profitable business that delivers outstanding outcomes for our clients.

In our core personal injury practice, we settled or resolved more than 5,900 cases for our clients and procured damages exceeding $645 million.

As well, we continued to execute our strategy to diversify into practice areas in addition to personal injuries, including transport, insolvency, workplace relations, class actions, professional and medical negligence, defamation and commercial litigation.

After the success of the DePuy Class Action relating to faulty hip implants, we commenced court proceedings for one of Australia’s largest product liability class actions relating to faulty prolapse mesh implants. We also launched a class action against the Commonwealth Department of Defence in relation to claims for exposing residents of the Queensland town of Oakey to toxic chemicals.

We appeared before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and represented 326 victims of abuse. We were proud to be associated with “Don’t Tell”, the motion picture based on founder and major shareholder Stephen Roche’s account of one of Australia’s most important sexual abuse civil trials.

An important initiative has been the Engine Room project, our new integrated legal management solution enabling us to deliver enhanced service to our clients, with the inclusion of a client portal that provides clients with real-time insights into the progress of their cases. The roll-out of the new system commenced in July 2017 and will be completed across the entire Group by the end of FY18.

Senior management changes have given us the opportunity to renew the leadership team. Simon Morrison, one of the founders and major shareholders of the Company, has returned to the position of Managing Director. Stephen Roche, who has returned in a more active consulting capacity, has worked with Simon and the senior leadership team to strengthen our capability at all levels in the organisation, improve processes and deliver consistent, high quality service across all work types and all regions.

In September we announced that we had received notice that some investors who acquired shares in the Company during the period from August 2014 to January 2016 have decided to take legal action against Shine, alleging various breaches of the law, including the Corporations Act and the Australian Consumer Law. The Company has at all times met its continuous disclosure and other legal obligations. The action will be vigorously defended, but we will not allow it to distract us from our business.

==> picture [75 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Directors for their valuable contribution to the Group and to our shareholders for their ongoing support.

With the dedication of all our people, I am confident that Shine is well placed for the future.

I will how hand over to the Managing Director.
