16 April 2018 Analyst Lafitani Sotiriou 613 9235 1668 Authorisation TS Lim 612 8224 2810 Perpetual (PPT) Oversold, upgrade to Buy Recommendation Buy (Hold) Price $42.09 Target (12 months) $47.50 (previously $52.10) GICS Sector Diversified Financials Expected Return Capital growth 12.9% Dividend yield 6.4% Total expected return 19.3% Company Data & Ratios Enterprise value Market cap $1.74bn $1.96bn Issued capital 46.6m Free float 100% Avg. daily val. (52wk) $9.76m 12 month price range $41.99-$57.34 Price Performance (1m) (3m) (12m) Price (A$) 50.78 50.50 53.20 Absolute (%) -17.11-16.65-20.88 Rel market (%) -14.83-11.84-19.65 Over 6% yield, with upside in market rally PPT has delivered a disappointing quarterly update which includes a lost mandate and unfavourable market movements. However, the share price is already down over -21% since the highs seen as recent as February and we believe this has more than captured the earnings revision seen today. We believe now is a good time to revisit the stock with over a 6% dividend yield on offer, and while there is negative sentiment on the stock from what we see as largely a one-off negative flow in the period and from a difficult period in the share market with volatility and a general decline across the board. However, the ASX200 is already up ~2% this June quarter, providing an early encouraging sign, which if maintained, provides the catalyst for a potential positive rerating. Quarterly highlights PPT has released its March quarter net-flows and FUM update, highlights include: Closing FUM of $30.2 billion. vs BPe $32.8 billion; Net-flows of -$1.3 billion vs. BPe -$0.1 billion, due to a lost mandate; and Market and other flows of -$1.3 billion, vs. BPe +$100m. Earnings revisions Following the March quarter update, we have downgraded our underlying EPS estimates by -2.9%, -9.5%, and -8.7% for FY18, FY19 and FY20 respectively. The changes are driven by lower share market and net-flow levels versus expectation. The ASX200 was down -5% during the period, and there was a lost institutional mandate which we see as one-off. Following the revisions our revised Price Target is $47.50 per share (previously $52.10), with an upgrade to our recommendation to Buy (previously Hold). Absolute Price $60.00 $55.00 $50.00 $45.00 $40.00 $35.00 $30.00 Apr 16 Oct 16 Apr 17 Oct 17 Apr 18 SOURCE: IRESS PPT S&P 300 Rebased BELL POTTER SECURITIES LIMITED ACN 25 006 390 7721 AFSL 243480 Earnings Forecast Year end June 30 2017 2018e 2019e 2020e Revenue (A$m) 515.6 531.3 536.8 557.7 EBITDA (A$m) 223.1 229.3 225.6 237.1 NPAT (reported) (A$m) 137.3 141.6 138.8 146.8 NPAT (adjusted) (A$m) 137.0 141.6 138.8 146.8 EPS (adjusted) (cps) 294.3 303.9 297.9 315.2 EPS growth (%) 7% 3% -2% 6% PER (x) 14.3 13.8 14.1 13.4 Price/CF (x) 10.9 13.0 12.4 11.8 EV/EBITDA (x) 7.9 7.7 7.8 7.4 Dividend ( ps) 265 270 273 289 Franking (%) 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Yield (%) 6.3% 6.4% 6.5% 6.9% ROE (%) 22.1% 22.0% 21.0% 21.8% SOURCE: BELL POTTER SECURITIES ESTIMATES DISCLAIMER: THIS REPORT MUST BE READ WITH THE DISCLAIMER ON PAGE 6 THAT FORMS PART OF IT.

Perpetual overview Company description Perpetual is a diversified financial, with about half of earnings attributed to Perpetual Investments (product manufacturer and distribution), with the two remaining quarters split between Private Wealth (fiduciary and financial advisory) and Corporate Trust (corporate trustee). In December 2013, PPT acquired TRU, with its business to fall within the three divisions noted below: Perpetual Investments is a traditional product manufacturer with some structured products. We believe the business has scale, a strong brand and is well positioned to capture a market recovery. Perpetual Private is split across financial advisory and fiduciary services. The income is less volatile as it is diversified with varying income structures, including fee based services which provides greater stability. Corporate Trust is the largest provider of corporate trustee services and transaction support in Australia. Investment Strategy We currently have a Hold recommendation given our valuation, although would review this on share price weakness. Risks Key risks for the stock include: Key people risk Similar to other wealth management businesses, the loss of any key investment personnel may result in the loss of investment mandates; Performance risk Investors are wary of investment managers that charge active management fees and that have underperformed the index over a prolonged period of time. It is important for Perpetual to maintain reputable performance metrics across its product offering; Financial Advice risk On the back of Storm Financial, Managed Investment Schemes and other well-known collapses in the industry, there is an added focus on any unsavoury practices and Perpetual will do well to steer clear of any negative headlines; and Market Risk PPT is exposed to adverse and sudden stock market changes, whether driven by natural or manmade disaster or event.

The changes are driven by lower share market and net-flow levels versus expectation. The ASX200 was down -5% during the period, and there was a lost institutional mandate which we see as one-off.
