The rising sophistication of MGAs

Presents an attractive, trusted, efficient way for Insurers to deploy capital into segments they could not nimbly target themselves

This presentation has been prepared by Steadfast Group Limited (“Steadfast”).

This presentation contains information in summary form which is current as at 25 March 2025. This presentation is not a recommendation or advice in relation to Steadfast or any product or service offered by Steadfast or its subsidiaries and associates. It is not intended to be relied upon as advice to investors or potential investors, and does not contain all information relevant or necessary for an investment decision or that would be required in a prospectus or product disclosure statement prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). It should be read in conjunction with Steadfast’s other continuous and periodic disclosure announcements filed with ASX Limited, in particular the Steadfast Group 2024 Annual Report, available at investor.steadfast.com.au.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Steadfast, its subsidiaries and associates and their respective directors, employees and agents disclaim all liability for any direct or indirect loss which may be suffered by any recipient through use of or reliance on anything contained in or omitted from this presentation. No recommendation is made as to how investors should make an investment decision. Investors must rely on their own examination of Steadfast, including the merits and risks involved. Investors should consult with their own professional advisors in connection with any acquisition of securities.

The information in this presentation remains subject to change without notice. Steadfast assumes no obligation to provide any recipient of this presentation with any access to any additional information or to notify any recipient or any other person of any other matter arising or coming to its notice after the date of this presentation.

To the extent that certain statements contained in this presentation may constitute “forward-looking statements” or statements about “future matters”, the information reflects Steadfast’s intent, belief or expectations at the date of this presentation. Steadfast is under no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained within this presentation, subject to applicable disclosure requirements. Steadfast may update this information over time. Any forward-looking statements, including projections or guidance on future revenues, earnings and estimates, are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as guarantee of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are outside Steadfast’s control and may cause Steadfast’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates in this presentation are based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change without notice, as are statements about market and industry trends, which are based on interpretations of current market conditions. Neither Steadfast, nor any other person, gives any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this presentation will actually occur. In addition, please note that past performance is no guarantee or indication of future performance. Possible factors that could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include the principal key risks on pages 50 – 51 of Steadfast’s 2024 Annual Report.

Certain non-IFRS financial information has been included within this presentation to assist in making appropriate comparisons with prior periods and to assess the operating performance of the business. Steadfast uses these measures to assess the performance of the business and believes that the information is useful to investors. Non-IFRS information, including underlying income statement items, pro forma income statement items, underlying earnings before interest expense (after premium funding interest income and expense), tax and amortisation of acquired intangibles (EBITA), underlying NPAT, underlying net profit after tax but before (pre tax) amortisation (NPATA), underlying EPS (NPAT) (NPAT per share) and underlying EPS (NPATA) (NPATA per share), have not been subject to review by the auditors. FY13 and FY14 results are pro forma and assume the Pre-IPO Acquisitions and the IPO Acquisitions were included for the full reporting period (all of the IPO Acquisitions completed on 7 August 2013). Prior period underlying EPS (NPAT) and underlying EPS (NPATA) have been adjusted to reflect the re-basing of EPS post the February/March 2015 1:3 rights issue. All references to Aggregate refer to the 100% aggregation of all investees’ results regardless of Steadfast’s ownership interest. Underlying EPS (NPAT) and underlying EPS (NPATA) for FY20 have been calculated as if all shares issued in FY20 pursuant to the IBNA acquisition and PSF Rebate acquisition were issued on 1 July 2019. To ensure comparability, underlying EBITA also deducts the interest expense on lease liabilities and depreciation of right-of-use assets from 1 July 2019.

This presentation does not constitute an offer to issue or sell securities or other financial products in any jurisdiction. The distribution of this presentation outside Australia may be restricted by law. Any recipient of this presentation outside Australia must seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. This presentation may not be reproduced or published, in whole or in part, for any purpose without the prior written permission of Steadfast.

Prevailing current exchange rates have been used to convert local currency amounts into Australian dollars, where appropriate. All references starting with “FY” refer to the financial year ended 30 June. All references starting with “1H” refers to the financial half year ended 31 December. “2H” refers to the financial half year ended 30 June.
