Today’s Agenda
Important notice

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 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.

NZX WT future CAPEX levels are dependent on the number of new
client migrations and are expected to tail off as market share increases

The amortisation profile lags the CAPEX profile by a few years

Indicative CAPEX profile is based on:

•Migration of contracted clients through FY25/26;

•Conversion and migration of some of the pipeline; and

•Retention of two sprint teams to assist Smart to mature operations

Longer term there will be a lower level of CAPEX required, to ensure that the

currency of the platform is maintained up to date.

Indicative amortisation profile will continue to rise as clients are onboarded

until peaking in FY27, before tailing off. Should new clients continue to be

won post projections then Capex will be maintained to onboard – subject to

a positive business case assessment.

There is a timing difference between the CAPEX profile and the amortisation

profile (referred to as the amortisation bubble). This results in free cash

flows initially rising faster than NPAT increases.

, excluding acquisition, integration and restructure costs, are now expected to be in the range of $45.0

Notes:

1.The guidance is 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 related integration costs and technology costs. Additionally, this guidance assumes there are no further material declines in the macro-economic environment and

market conditions, and there are no significant one-off expenses, major accounting adjustments, other unforeseeable circumstances, or future acquisitions or divestments.

2.Operating earnings (EBITDA) is not a defined performance measure in NZ IFRS. The Group's definition of operating earnings may not be comparable with similarly titled performance measures and disclosures

by other entities.

Sum of the Parts - information

•publish monthly operating metrics

Sum of the Parts - considerations

Markets value drivers:

•Capital markets activity recovers;

•Dairy derivatives growth opportunity; and

•Equity derivatives halo impact

Smart – modelling needs to reflect i) the impact of NZ’s wealth accumulation, and ii)

the potential for marketing to increase market share

Additionally comparable multiples need reflect fast growing funds managers (to mirror

NZ’s wealth accumulation rather than being a mature wealth market)

NZX Wealth Technologies – valuation approach needs to reflect i) the Annual Recurring

Revenue growth from current (and new) contracted clients, and ii) the reduction of

migration CAPEX over time
