Today’s Agenda

Importantnotice

This investor presentation should be read in conjunction with NZX's other periodic and

continuous disclosure announcements, and the financial statements in the 2022 Interim

Report, which provides additional information on many areas covered in this presentation.

These are available at nzx.com.

This presentation contains certain 'forward-looking statements' such as indications of, and

guidance on, future earnings and financial position and performance.

This includes statements regarding NZX's current assumptions, which are subject to market

outcomes, particularly with respect to market capitalisation, total capital listed and raised,

secondary market value and derivatives volumes traded, funds under management and

administration growth, acquisition integration costs and technology costs.

Additionally they assume no material adverse events, significant one-off expenses, major

accounting adjustments, other unforeseeable circumstances, or future acquisitions or

divestments.

Any indications of, or guidance or outlook on, future earnings or financial position or performance

and future distributions are also forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees or predictions of future performance and involve

known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the

control of NZX, and may involve significant elements of subjective judgement and assumptions as

to future events which may or may not be correct. There can be no assurance that actual

outcomes will not materially differ from these forward-looking statements.

A number of important factors could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from

the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on information

available to NZX as at the date of this presentation.

Except as required by law or regulation (including the Listing Rules), NZX undertakes no

obligation to provide any additional or updated information whether as a result of new information,

future events or results or otherwise.

Key messages you should take away from today –the NZX investment case

The Capital Markets opportunity: Since 2017, we have rebuilt our capital markets platform and have still achieved growth in a

challenging 2022. We have the building blocks for further opportunities and growth and as markets recover, we expect to see

capital markets activity levels accelerate

Maturing our Market: We know our product offering could be expanded (equity derivatives, carbon markets) which is key to driving

further growth in capital markets activity and greater global connections–rounding out our product offering will broaden our

earnings base and add scale to our settlement and clearing activities

We are globalising our footprintacross all businesses, (SGX, EEX, GDT, global participation in markets)and we see opportunities with a

‘star alliance’ strategy

Continued secular growth: Inaddition, thereare long-term structural market tail winds that support growth in the managed

funds and platform businesses

Continued M&A activity: We will continue to exploreM&A activity to help drive and accelerate growthwhere appropriate

Operating Leverage: Still investing for growth but also focusing on efficiencies and driving operating leverage

Maintaining through market cycles: Market cycles are inevitable, maintaining earnings through these challenging periods while

continuing to develop, sets a platform to capture upside opportunities in market recovery phase

Scale and operating leverage

areimportant elements for a

business.From our market

analysis $15B-$20B of FUM is the

point for NZ Managers at which

cost bases are at their most

efficient

Whilst scale has been achieved organically over time, step change acquisitions provide the opportunity to materially change the average costby:

•Spreading the fixed costs (corporate cost base and fixed fund costs) over greater FUM

•Providing purchasing power on the variable fund costs

Our ESG Strategy runs through the heart of our business –as the

operator of New Zealand’s stock exchange and markets, as a financial

services and technology business, and as a regulator. In particular, robust

governance (such as the updated Corporate Governance Code), is

paramount to the role that NZX plays in New Zealand

The four “Ps” –Planet, People, Prosperity and Principles of governance –

are the core pillars of NZX’s ESG approach. We ensure it aligns with our

organisationalpurpose, vision and strategy, and with New Zealand’s long-

term sustainability goals and international commitments

As a business, NZX is committed to taking action on climate change. In 2022

NZX achieved net carbon zero certification from ToitūEnvirocare.

Sustainable economic growth is a priority for NZX: increasing productivity

while reducing the carbon intensity of our emissions and that of the

Exchange. Public markets will continue to play an important role in facilitating

the flow of capital towards decarbonisingthe New Zealand economy

Principles of

Governance

PlanetPeopleProsperity

The definition of

governance is evolving

as organisationsare

increasingly expected to

define and embed their

purpose at the centreof

their business. But the

principles of agency,

accountability and

stewardship continue to

be vital for truly “good

governance”

An ambition to protect

the planet from

degradation, including

through sustainable

consumption and

production, sustainably

managing its natural

resources and taking

urgent action on climate

change, so that it can

support the needs of the

present and future

generations

An ambition to end

poverty and hunger, in

all their forms and

dimensions, and to

ensure that all human

beings can fulfill their

potential in dignity and

equality and in a healthy

environment

An ambition to ensure

that all human beings

can enjoy prosperous

and fulfilling lives and

that economic, social

and technological

progress occurs in

harmony with nature

In mature markets, derivatives are coreto revenue generation -unsurprisingly the resulting revenues sit in the trading & post trading functions

Derivatives, in particular equity derivatives, are core to revenue stability, derivatives also drive growth across multiple layers of the capital markets including cash market trading, participation and data revenues.

In NZX post trade there is headroom for scale, supporting new product developments essential to market growth e.g. derivatives, additional services and efficiencies essential to market participants

Our strategy to 2027 is simple –round out ourproduct offer in Capital Markets
and drive scale and operating leverage across the businesses

A broad addressable market exists providing significant opportunities to grow off

the back of a now embedded origination model

•An estimated 1,200 private companies in NZ with annual revenues > $30m

•Many of these companies are not yet aware of the options or benefits for

listing

•Significant untapped opportunity to grow the listed market

•Over 1,000 contacts have been made with potential issuers and nurturing the

most likely to list

•While the origination model has a long pipeline and is highly dependent on the

surrounding ecosystem, we are starting to see results

Dairy derivatives are global

products on a global

We know that equity

derivatives are a vital

component in delivering

more stable revenue

streams as well as multiple

other benefits across an

exchange business

In particular, we understand the core nature of these revenues in mature
exchanges and how they provide offset revenues in challenging markets...

Differentiation to other

markets

Description

•Sufficient differentiation (new tradable commodity, new index),

no existing product available

Appropriate stage of

development

•Correct sequencing with groundwork to develop spot market if

required

•Sufficiently diverse number of sellers and buyers

•Further room to converge and grow

Support of major participants

•Liquidity fund to ascertain firm commitments to use the venue

•Availability of market makers

•Regulatory and legal certainty of exchange contracts and

delivery

•Confidence in prices realised–transparent market micro-

structure

•Appropriate regulation

Transparency and

governance

NZX Status (NZX20)

•No existing exchange traded derivatives product exists that provides

an accurate hedging tool for NZ equities

•NZX Cash market liquidity has increased by 69% since 2014*

•NZ Fund Manager allocation to NZ equities has grown 186% to $48bn**

since 2014

•NZ Fund Manager allocation to derivatives has grown by 1452% from

2014**

•Industry commitment from a ‘Cornerstone Group’ of 12 large end users

providing written demand via signed Letters of Intent including indicative

volumes

•Market makers engaged

•Large global Clearing Participants engaged

•NZX a regulated derivatives exchange

•Transparent underlying market

•Appropriate rules set being developed to be in line with global best

practice

Why the timing is right:

The goal to re-establish a liquid Index Futures market derives from improved underlying market conditions, and an extensive process to bring

together the required ingredients for a successful relaunch

►Current FTEs 77 –this level of resourcing enables the migration growth path

►Once migration growth path is complete in a number of years time, and we reach steady state (business as usual), we estimate a lower level of

FTEs

►Growth landgrab phase is expected for at least the next 4 years.Additional growth initiatives are being explored. Assessment will be made to

determine if revenue upside wouldjustify an extension of the growth phase

►Staff costs account for > 85% of total costs

►Platform is highly scalable

►Additional development will be contingent on level of new clients and migration

►We have sufficient resources to continue to invest in the platform to remain market leading

Current market conditions have impacted some of our revenues, and costs are
being limited or deferred, we don’t believe this will have a long-lasting impact

The current year market conditions have impacted:

•Value traded / cleared (29.1)% and Settlement Lines

(9.3)% September YTD –based on current pricing

the full year impact is estimated at approx. $3.25m;

and

•FUM based revenue has been impacted by the YTD

market return (9.9)% –our estimate of the impact for

the full year of approx. $2.5m

Whilst we are experiencing cost pressures, we have

been managing costs to limit or defer the increasing cost

NZX’s revenues have remained strong, we have a diverse range of revenue
sources the majority of which are not exposed to market capitalisation

Exposure to market capitalisationfor

H1-22 was approx. 43.1%:

which is driven by the market

capitalisationon 31 May each

year

•Trading & Clearing Fees 13.8%

•FUM based revenue 21.0%

•FUA based revenue 5.8%, though

contracts have base levels of

The exposure is rising as FUM based

revenue becomes a higher portion of

We are actively managing or replanning activities due tocost inflation pressures
Gross cost base (i.e. pre capitalised personnel and overheads costs) is analysed in the graph opposite

•Personnel costs represent the majority of the gross costs (circa 67%) –with cost increases being

driven by:

•higher average number of FTEs –resulting from additional roles created in 2021 e.g.in the

Securities IT team (addressing the EY Technology Report) and cyber security (addressing the

InPhySecReport),partially offset by a large vacancy factor in the current year;

•wage inflation; and

•lower levels of capitalisedlabour;

•IT costs (circa 20%) include market platform costs (which are being adversely impacted by the

movements in FX rates and contractual inflation rates), IT costs recharged to market participants

such assystems connectivity charges, and new IT costs (such as NZX’s share of IT costsunder the

SGX-NZX dairy derivatives strategic partnership and Smartsharesincurring software license costs

for the Bloomberg system and new licenses for the KSD digital tools);

•Professional fees (circa 4%) include costs relating to legal, tax and other advice, and costs directly

relating to revenue (e.g. D&I audit royalties, and external data input costs for Data & Insight reports)

The cost base continues to grow in our Financial Services Businesses (Smartsharesand Wealth

Technologies) due to:

•Corporatisationof the businesses;

•Smartsharesorganic FUM growth and the additional of resource to prepare the migration of (and in

2023 to service) the ASB SMT acquisition; and

•Wealth Technology migration of new customers (reflected in FUA growth) and dependant on their

service requirements

73

CAPEX growth is driven by Smartshares(ASB SMT integration from Q4-22 to Q3-23) and
Wealth Technologies (migration activity)as well as our related increased accommodation

requirements

Trading, Clearing and Energy Systems CAPEX

•Trading, clearing and energy systems CAPEX driven by specific system life cycles which

result in large multi-year projects

•To enable further growth, we have been upgrading systems to enable NZX20 equity

derivatives and the further automation of the Depository system

PP&E and Other Software CAPEX

•PP&E CAPEX relates to the normal life cycle replacements for IT equipment and software,

as well as commencing the implementation of a strategic storage solution. In 2021 we

established the Capital Markets Centre in Auckland.

•We are currently completing the strategic storage solution and the fit out of additional

accommodation requirements as the business grows. Thereplacement of the old Auckland

ticker has now received council approval

•Other software CAPEX relates to technology upgrades and enhancements of the NZX

technology architecture and the Network Transformation project which strengthens NZX’s

cyber security

Financial Services Growth Businesses CAPEX

•Wealth Technologies CAPEX in the current period relates to continued product

development and new client migration activity

•Smartshares CAPEX relates to the delivery of digital tools for the new KiwiSaver Default

Scheme to ensure improved client servicing / experience and automation / efficiency

•We have commenced Smartshares systems upgrades to enable the migration of the ASB

Wrap Up
Mark Peterson

CEO

The Capital Markets opportunity: Since 2017, we have rebuilt our capital markets platform and have still achieved growth in a
challenging 2022. We have the building blocks for further opportunities and growth and as markets recover, we expect to see

capital markets activity levels accelerate

Maturing our Market: We know our product offering could be expanded (equity derivatives, carbon markets) which is key to driving

further growth in capital markets activity and greater global connections–rounding out our product offering will broaden our

earnings base and add scale to our settlement and clearing activities

We are globalising our footprintacross all businesses, (SGX, EEX, GDT, global participation in markets)and we see opportunities with a

‘star alliance’ strategy

Continued secular growth: Inaddition, thereare long-term structural market tail winds that support growth in the managed

funds and platform businesses

Continued M&A activity: We will continue to exploreM&A activity to help drive and accelerate growthwhere appropriate

Operating Leverage: Still investing for growth but also focusing on efficiencies and driving operating leverage

Maintaining through market cycles: Market cycles are inevitable, maintaining earnings through these challenging periods while

continuing to develop, sets a platform to capture upside opportunities in market recovery phase
