Capital management

Cash flow and capital efficiency help drive growth and enhanced returns
• Free cash flow and asset disposals fund strategic investments in mortgage services and Employee Share Plans and enhanced returns to shareholders. Net debt fell by $111.8m, -9.9%
Cash flow
• Completed the disposal of the Company’s global headquarters in Melbourne and investment in INVeSHARE Inc (excluded from management earnings in 1H17)
Recycling capital
• To maintain our gearing level such that net debt/EBITDA is between 1.75x – 2.25x (excluding the non-recourse SLS advance facility debt), with flexibility to temporarily go above this range to take advantage of compelling investment opportunities. We will consider capital management to maintain leverage within this target band
Board Policy
• In 1H17, the Company purchased and cancelled 500,000 ordinary shares at a total cost of AU$4.6 million with an average price of AU$9.20 bringing the total number of ordinary shares bought back under the buy-back program to 9,877,069 at an average price of AU$10.65 per share
Share buy-back
• Interim dividend of AU17 cents franked at 30%, +6.3% on pcp • Our franking rate for FY17 is expected to be in the range of 20% to 30%
