Results SummaryStatutory Results
Note: all figures in this presentation are in USD millions unless otherwise indicated.
Management results are used, along with other measures, to assess operating business performance. The Company believes that exclusion of certain items permits better analysis of the Group’s performance on a comparative basis and provides a better measure of underlying operating performance.
Management adjustments are made on the same basis as in prior years.
Non-cash management adjustments include significant amortisation of identified intangible assets from businesses acquired in recent years, which will recur in subsequent years, asset disposals and other one off charges.
Cash adjustments are predominantly expenditure on acquisition-related and other restructures, and will cease once the relevant acquisition integrations and restructures are complete.
A full description of all management adjustments is included in the ASX Appendix 4E Note 3.
The non-IFRS financial information contained within this document has not been reviewed or audited in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Drivers Behind FY15 Financial Performance
› Given a range of known headwinds entering FY15, underlying operating performance was sound with Management EBITDA up 2.5% against FY14 in actual terms and up 5.3% in constant currency. Management revenue was down 2.3% but up 1.4% in constant currency. The revenue benefit from the net impact of acquisitions and disposals was partially offset by the headwinds.
› Register maintenance revenues were down 2.8% in actual terms and 1.4% higher in constant currency, benefiting from recent acquisitions in Canada and the US. Corporate Actions revenues fell to their lowest level in many years, impacted by reductions in Canadian and Australian cash rates and the maturity of the USD deposit facility in FY14.
› Employee plans revenue fell 4.6% in FY15 and was 1.8% lower in constant currency terms. Lower margin income contribution and weaker transactional volumes impacted the segment.
› Business services experienced overall revenue growth. Australian revenues were impacted by the loss of Serviceworks’ largest client due to takeover. UCIA benefited from the HML acquisition and a pick-up in voucher services revenue. Class actions administration grew but was more than offset by weaker revenues in bankruptcy administration. US mortgage servicing grew marginally, offsetting revenue losses from the sale of Highlands Insurance in June 2014 and the loss of a material subservicing contract in March 2014.
› Stakeholder relationship management revenues fell significantly as a result of the sale of the Pepper Group in June 2014. Communication services revenues were also down, further impacted by currency translation due to the significant AUD revenues in this segment.
› Costs were down 4.1% benefiting from the stronger USD. Expenses were flat in constant currency terms notwithstanding the increased costs associated with recently acquired businesses.
› The Management effective tax rate for FY15 was higher at 26.1%.

Introduction
Computershare Strengths
› Leading market position in all major markets for equity investor record-keeping and employee stock plan administration based on:
- sustainable advantages in technology, operations, domain knowledge and product development;
- quality excellence and operational efficiency; and
- a joined-up global platform and seamless execution of cross-border solutions.
› Consolidating position and continuing to extract synergies from acquisitions within our chosen business lines.
› More generally:
- over 70% of revenues recurring in nature;
- long track record of excellent cash realisation from operations; and
- strong balance sheet and prudent gearing, with average maturity of debt facilities of 3.8 years.

Introduction
Guidance
› Looking to the year ahead, the Company expects underlying business performance to be broadly similar to FY15, however, the translation impact of the stronger USD and the anticipated lower yields on client balances are again expected to be significant earnings headwinds. The business is also anticipating some increased costs including those associated with investments in product development and efficiency initiatives. Taking all factors into account the Company expects Management EPS for FY16 to be around 7.5% lower than FY15.
› This assessment of the outlook assumes that equity, foreign exchange and interest rate markets remain at current levels and that corporate action activity is similar to FY15, and is also subject to the important notice on slide 65 regarding forward looking statements.

CPU had an average of USD15.2b of client funds under management during FY15.
For 31% ($4.7b) of the FY15 average client funds under management, CPU had no exposure to interest rate movements either as a result of not earning margin income, or receiving a fixed spread on these funds.
The remaining 69% ($10.5b) of funds were “exposed” to interest rate movements. For these funds: 24% had effective hedging in place (being either derivative or fixed rate deposits). 7% was naturally hedged against CPU’s own floating rate debt.
The remaining 38% was exposed to changes in interest rates.

PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERCEO PRESENTATION
Stuart Irving
CEO’sReport
Group Strategy and Priorities
37
CEO’sReport
Our group strategy remains:
› Continue to seek acquisition and other growth opportunities where we can add value and enhance returns for our shareholders.
› Improve our front office skills to protect and drive revenue.
› Continue to drive operations quality and efficiency through measurement, benchmarking and technology.
We continue to prioritise our focus on those areas that best assure our future by:
› Protecting profitability in mature businesses via new revenue and cost initiatives.
› Investing in growth initiatives for businesses that offer that potential.
› Evaluating new business opportunities but with disciplined investment hurdle thresholds.
› Taking the opportunity to simplify the business where we can.
38
Delivery Against Strategy and PrioritiesCEO’sReport
› Further refinements to our business portfolio were achieved with the HML acquisition opening up new opportunities in the UK mortgage servicing sector and the Valiant acquisition further strengthening our Canadian market position.
› Divestitures of non-strategic assets were also achieved following the completion of the disposals of VEM, ConnectNow and our Russian business.
› We are investing in a number of front office initiatives, using improved data measurement metrics across all business lines to develop opportunities, identify areas for improvements and enhance the customer experience in pursuit of organic growth.
› While the competitive landscape remains challenging, we continue to achieve high levels of customer satisfaction and client retention and our investments in integrated products helped us win a number of new clients across the group.
› We remain cost disciplined, and have continued to add volume to our Global Service Model. The US operations centralisation project investment phase is underway.
39
USA Update › Registry revenue was down impacted by both lower margin income and shareholder
transaction volumes partially offset by the benefits of the Registrar and Transfer Company acquisition.
› Client retention in all our businesses continues to be strong reflecting high client satisfaction, market leading product suite and operational reputation.
› In the second half of the year, M&A activity increased in terms of deal count; however low interest rates continue to affect corporate actions revenue, along with other margin income earning businesses.
› We continue to make progress on our SLS growth strategy including acquiring MSR product and building our performing agency credibility. Delivering further scale and operational efficiencies remains a priority. The incremental cost of regulatory compliance continues to be a headwind but the investment should position us for future growth.
› The Class Action administration business recorded its best year and its reputation in the market continues to strengthen.
› We have opened our Louisville office and have commenced operational functions, as part of our multi-year centralisation project. Project milestones continue to be met. Further project investment is currently planned for FY16 and FY17. One off and duplicated operating costs will continue to be management adjusted. As previously noted, net project benefits are not expected to be realised until post FY17.
CEO’sReport
40
Canada Update› Investor Services achieved strong client retention and recent acquisitions helped
underpin revenue growth, however IPO activity remains subdued and well below historical levels.
› Significant cross border M&A activity benefited Corporate Actions in FY15.
› The Valiant Trust Company and SG Vestia Systems acquisition integrations continue to be on target including the realisation of synergies.
› Lower interest rate levels continue to impact yield on client balances and challenges in the resource and energy sectors are impacting transactional and new business activities across the region.
› The Corporate Trust business saw strong activity in the Mortgage Backed Securities area and is well positioned to take advantage of the Quebec Immigrant Investor loan program.
CEO’sReport
41
UCIA Update
› UK Investor Services was voted number one in this year’s independent Capital Analytics survey of UK registrars underpinned by our heightened focus on front office initiatives.
› With the Employee Share Plans recent European acquisitions now behind us, our focus has moved to investing in service, product and systems to preserve and extend our market leading global offering. Equity market volatility and the timing of scheme maturities negatively impacted on revenues during the period but pleasingly the business registered a number of new client wins.
› Corporate Actions and IPO activity remains sluggish, although other market activity remained positive in respect of Exchange Traded Fund activity in Ireland.
› The integration of Homeloan Management Limited (HML) remains on track and realising expected synergies, with some significant opportunities to grow the business.
› The Deposit Protection Scheme deposit pool continues to grow reflecting a strong UK rental housing sector. The UK Government has concluded its tender process for the DPS and has notified Computershare that it has been successful and will continue to operate its existing Deposit Protection Scheme. Two additional licences to operate new deposit schemes were also issued.
› Received final confirmation from the UK Government that Tax Free Childcare, which replaces the current Voucher Scheme, will proceed.
› Regulatory compliance continues to put pressure on the UK cost base.
CEO’sReport
42
Continental Europe Update
› The Employee Share Plans business continued to win clients across the region benefiting from the increased sales focus following the European organisational restructure.
› The Italian Investor Services business performed well and also benefited from the successful integration of the small Istifid business acquired in January 2015.
› The economic downturn in Russia resulted in an increase in market activity, resulting in improved earnings performance year on year. However, post year end we disposed of our Russian business due to the political instability in the market and the increasing regulatory pressure on foreign registrars. The business was sold to a group of Russian investors.
› Post year end, we have agreed to acquire SIX SAG, a Swiss share registry and AGM business, further enhancing our market leading position in the region. The acquisition is expected to complete in 1H FY16.
› The previously disclosed agreement to sell VEM was completed in July 2015.
CEO’sReport
43
Asia Update
› The Investor Services business has seen continued growth due to new clients from recent period IPOs and higher meeting services revenues.
› The Employee Share Plans business continued its strong growth trajectory, winning new clients and benefiting from increased trading activities.
› Our Shareholder Analytics and Proxy business in China gained new clients and was helped by the increased level of corporate actions.
› The Registry business of our Indian JV remained steady while the Funds business benefited from higher assets under management due to the stronger performance of the Indian stock market.
CEO’sReport
44
Australia & New Zealand Update › The Australian Investor Services business continued to hold its market leading position in
FY15 in a highly competitive market.
› During the year a number of high profile and complex corporate actions were successfully executed including the A$5.7billion Medibank IPO, the Wesfarmers capital management initiative, the Fox delisting and sale facility, BHP’s demerger of South 32, and NAB’s A$5.5billion rights issue.
› The NZ Investor Services business again achieved solid outcomes and FY15 saw completion of the final work associated with the NZ Government asset IPOs.
› The Employee Share Plans business was instrumental in securing new client wins such as QBE in both registry and employee plans services.
› The focus of Serviceworks has been on right sizing its cost base and re-signing key clients. The ConnectNow business was disposed of at year end following the CEO review of the Serviceworks group.

Effective Tax Rate Statutory & Management
The increase in the Group’s statutory effective tax rate from 21.8% to 35.3% is primarily driven by the asset impairment of US$109.5m, which is not tax deductible.
The increase in the Group’s management effective tax rate from 22.4% to 26.1% is driven by a number of factors, including the impact of profit mix on higher EBITDA year on year, one off tax benefits (e.g. refunds) which occurred in FY14, changes to thin cap rules resulting in some non-deductible interest and changes in intra-regional group arrangements (e.g. higher royalties paid from lower tax jurisdictions to Australia).
