Introduction

Unchanged from the AGM – we expect USD management earnings per share for financial year 2009 to be about the same as last year,perhaps marginally behind.

This assumes equity, interest rate and FX market conditions remain broadly consistent with current levels for the rest of the financial year.

FY08 Mgt EPS

AUD/USD @ 8/08 0.87

USD 51.6 cps

AUD/USD @ 2/09 0.67

AUD 59.3 cps

AUD 77.2 cps

While USD guidance is flat on FY08, AUD guidance at current forex rates is now about 30% up on last year (at August 08 rates).

Long term strategy unchanged:

› Continue to drive operations quality and efficiency through measurement, benchmarking and technology

› Improve our front office skills to protect and drive revenue

› Continue to seek acquisition and other growth opportunities where we can add value and enhance returns for our shareholders

But the current environment also offers a once in a generation opportunity to lift our market position. Our strong balance sheet and cash flows allow us to invest in further service enhancements and new products for our clients at a time when many of our competitors are having to focus on refinancing and basic survival. We intend to take maximum advantage of this opportunity.

CEO’s Report

Group Strategy

Page 38: Computershare Limited Half Year Results 2009 …...4 Introduction Note: all results are in USD except for dividend EBITDA margin 30.5% + 260bps - 220bps Operating costs $544.1m down

38

Delivery against long term strategy

Delivering on the first 2 limbs of the long term strategy (cost and revenue) has been a key factor in protecting our profits and margins in these challenging times:

› operational productivity continues to improve across the globe (eg, increasing self service, some specialised off-shoring);

› pay-off from revenue initiatives, especially in business as usual, continues to accelerate; and

› operational improvements are putting us on top in independent service surveys everywhere they’re offered, protecting our pricing power and strengthening our client retention.

We continue to be interested in value accretive acquisitions, but we will remain prudent about gearing in a world where we expect debt andequity capital to be scarce and expensive. We will carefully monitor our debt maturities and refinancing profile.

Page 39: Computershare Limited Half Year Results 2009 …...4 Introduction Note: all results are in USD except for dividend EBITDA margin 30.5% + 260bps - 220bps Operating costs $544.1m down

39

Delivery on the opportunity to lift our market position

› We are consolidating our leading market position by releasing a range of new and enhanced products around the world.

› We continue to invest in R&D (1H09 R&D spend USD 36.6M, up 20% on 1H08).

› Third party shareholder and investor satisfaction surveys, as well as our own market research, show that the market is recognising ourgrowing quality edge.

› We expect this differentiation to increase as we continue to invest in and roll out service enhancements and new products, in an environment where many competitors are distracted by balance sheet and business viability issues.

40

Other key points at a group level

› The strong US dollar continues to drag on non-US markets contribution to reported earnings (GBP and AUD down > 20%, CAD down > 12% since August 08).

› Credit spreads have reduced, cutting slippage in interest rate hedges (natural and synthetic).

› Operating margin has held up well at 30% despite the reduction in margin income.

› Corporate action revenues have held up well but remain lumpy.› Less market cycle related businesses – Busy Bees vouchers in UK;

Administar class actions in US; Canadian Corporate Trust; commercial CCS businesses generally – also help.

› Acquisition hurdles are now materially higher for both strategy fit and valuation, but some interesting opportunities are emerging.

revenue streams› Revamped web portal with enhanced reporting tools for issuers well receivedOther› Fund Services - continues to win vast majority of (limited) available work;

friendly deals, eg, Merrill Lynch/Bank of America, Johnson & Johnson/Mentor and Omrix, IBM/ILOG and Abbott/Advanced Medical Optics
