Computershare Limited reported a 5.6% decrease in total revenue to $3,114.6 million, primarily due to the disposal of the US Mortgage Services business in May 2024. However, revenue from continuing operations increased 4.8% to $3,114.6 million, driven by higher core fees of $89.4 million and a $72.0 million increase in event and transactional revenue. Margin income declined by $19.5 million (2.5%) due to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher balances. Profit after tax from continuing operations increased 22.8% to $605.0 million, benefiting from revenue growth and lower expenses. Total expenses from continuing operations were $44.0 million higher (1.9%), impacted by inflation, acquisitions, and restructuring costs, partly offset by lower integration costs and borrowing costs. The effective tax rate from continuing operations decreased to 23.4% from 28.9% in the prior year, primarily due to changes in sales sourcing methodology and tax capitalisation of prior year costs. The company paid a final dividend of AU 48 cents per share and an interim dividend of AU 45 cents per share during the year.
