5

Preview Questions – A Range of Topics

• Is there any change in strategy?

• How and when are you going to return excess cash?

• Is the TAG acquisition delivering as planned?

• What’s the plan re acquisitions?

6

• Infrastructure Software Market is mature and consolidating

• Key to performance is operational efficiency and scale

• Micro Focus is well positioned to be a leader

• Target returns of 15% - 20% per annum (26.4% compound since 2005)

• Efficient Balance Sheet – 2.5x net debt to Facility EBITDA

• Financial discipline

• Return cash

• Value enhancing acquisitions

7

Is there a change in strategy?

NO CHANGE

Dividend now returns to twice covered on adjusted earnings

• Final Dividend of 49.74c (2015: 33.00c)

• Full Year Dividend 66.68c (2015: 48.40c)

• Annualised would be 72.96c

• Yield of approximately 3.3% ($1.33:£1 and a 1672p share price)

Return of Value in 2017

• Absent a significant acquisition, a share buy-back opportunity or

unforeseen circumstances.8

How and when are you going to return excess cash?

TAG was acquired in November 2014 – as at 1 July 2016:

• Micro Focus shareholders have seen 91.4% return on their holding pre

announcement

• Wizard has exited its 40% stake

• TAG management had all their shares vest in 2014 together with additional deal

bonuses and retention bonuses

• Micro Focus management stock vests in November 2017 if performance conditions

are met

9

Is the TAG acquisition delivering as planned?

• From announcement to 1 July 2016 Market Capitalization has increased by 216.3%

• Shareholders approved a pool of 2.50% of equity as management incentive

• The Micro Focus Board only used 1.43%

• If incentive fully vests then as at 1 July 2016 management will receive c2.1% of the increase in Market Capitalization

• This is very favourable for shareholders compared to other companies’ schemes

• The Micro Focus Board will seek to use this as a model going forward

10

Is the TAG acquisition delivering as planned?

We will pursue acquisitions that fit our industrial strategy

and give enhanced returns to shareholders:

• Mature

• Infrastructure

• Sticky

11

What’s the plan re acquisitions?

NO CHANGE

Creating Greater Flexibility for M&A

At the AGM we will be seeking additional flexibility to avoid

being at a competitive disadvantage:

• Resolution: Grant the Board authority to implement an ASG

scheme in the event of an acquisition that can deliver shareholders

returns of 50% to 100% over three years

• Resolution: Grant the Board authority to allocate an additional 10%

of share capital in the event of an appropriate acquisition

12

• Consistent double digit shareholder returns

• Revenue in FY17 minus 2% to zero

• Compared to FY16 CCY pro-forma with Serena

• FY17 revenue exit rate flat with FY16 and anticipate

revenue growth in FY18

• Maintain target net debt at 2.5 times Facility EBITDA

• Appropriate value enhancing acquisitions13

Acquisition of Serena Software Inc. (“Serena”) announced on 22 March 2016

• Purchase price of $540.0m on a cash and debt free basis,

• Funded by existing and extended revolving credit facility of $375m and a placing of 10.87m shares at a price of 1,455 pence raising £158.2m ($225.7m) gross and £156.1m ($222.7m) net.

• Revenue of $162.3m and Underlying Adjusted EBITDA of $80.9m in the year ended 31 January 2016

16

Key Highlights

Improving cash generation in the period

• Cash generated from operations was $455.7m (2015: $288.7m) representing 87.8% (2015: 110.6%) of Adjusted EBITDA

less exceptional costs.

• Improvement in conversion ratio in H216 from H116 low of 62.4% to 113.4% in H216.

• The year on year decline in the ratio is mainly related to negative working capital impacts of the change in the period end

for TAG from March to April which has resulted in a higher level of trade receivables at the year end and cash payments

related to FY2015 provisions.

• Free cash flow of $238.1m (2015: $173.7m).

• As at 30 April 2016 the net debt of the Group was $1,078.0m (2015: $1,403.5m)

• Benefitting from receipt of placing proceeds in anticipation of completion of Serena on 2 May 2016

• Pro-forma net debt after Serena completed of $1,625m

• Net debt to pro-forma Facility EBITDA for 12 month period to 30 April 2016 multiple of 2.51 times (30 April 2015: 2.6 times)

• Target remains at 2.5 times.

Returning to a twice covered dividend with proposed final dividend increased by 50.7% to 49.74

cents per share (2015: 33.00 cents per share)

Other tax items in the prior year included the recognition of deferred tax assets relating to tax credits as a result of the TAG acquisition ($5.1m) and the recognition of UK patent box benefits

relating to the year ended 30 April 2014 ($4.8m)

Adjusted ETR (23.1%) for the year is higher than the previous year (21.2%) and the

first half of the year (21.0%)

• Primarily due to the one-off taxation in the US of foreign earnings of TAG

The Group’s medium term (3 year) Adjusted ETR is expected to rise during the

period from 23% to 27% of Adjusted Profit Before Tax

• Higher than previous guidance of 21% to 25%, primarily due to the impact of anticipated

legislative changes to restrict the deductibility of interest expenses in the UK, which are expected

to come into effect from April 2017

• Increase in forecast rate also reflects wider uncertainty regarding the impact of the OECD’s

Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project

• Serena acquisition is not expected to have a significant impact on ETR

• Brexit is not expected to have a significant impact on ETR at this stage

36

Taxation

Taxes paid during the year were $79.3m (2015: net receipt $1.8m) reflecting

the following:

• $24.5m paid under Accelerated Payment Notice issued by HMRC in relation to historic UK tax

claim, where discussions with HMRC are ongoing

• $27.2m paid in the US in respect of Federal income tax liabilities for FY15 and FY16

• Tax liabilities for those years are now expected to be significantly lower than anticipated when those

payments were made, which accounts for the majority of the current tax receivables on the balance

sheet of $18.0m. This will reduce Group cash tax payable in FY17.

• Reduction is due to the offset of deferred tax assets, so no impact on Group ETR.

• $17.0m was received in the US in the prior year relating to the settlement of tax audits and

historic overpayments
