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
funds management
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
platform...our focus is also on
developing local
infrastructure and risk
management products
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:

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
base

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%:
•Annual Listing Fee approx. 2.5%
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
revenue
The exposure is rising as FUM based
revenue becomes a higher portion of
revenue (H2-21: 40.7%)

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

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
