MMSG 5 Review of operations The Group recorded strong financial and operating metrics for the half. Consolidated UNPATA of $44.3m was a 5% increase over the prior period. The GRS segment 1 continues to perform well with revenue and UNPATA increasing by 9% and 7% respectively. Salary packaging and novated lease units grew by 10% and 7% respectively. New client growth remains strong, with an additional 17,300 packages and 1,400 novated leases signing on for the half. The pipeline for new business remains strong for the remainder of FY18. The AM segment UNPATA increased by 32%. In A&NZ, assets managed (WDV) grew by 8%. Principal and Agency (P&A) funding continues to grow with a further $13m in assets financed off balance sheet in the half. In the UK, assets managed (WDV) grew 31%, with net amount financed doubling over the prior period. The RFS segment continues to operate with market and regulatory uncertainty. The Aggregation business is performing in line with expectations, generating a comparable NAF to the prior period. The Retail business, which makes up approximately 3% of the Group UNPATA and is more exposed to pricing changes within insurance products and flex commissions, recorded a NAF decline of 29%. Overall RFS UNPATA fell by 26% due to reduced volume and margins in finance originations. During the half Plan Management Partners (PMP), an investment with a minority interest held by Disability Services Australia, successfully completed a trial to provide plan management services to participants within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Following this success a national roll-out has commenced. Cash generation before investment in fleet was $35.8m, which represented a $1.6m increase over pcp. Cash at bank at 31 December 2017 was $47.8m. Excluding debt to fund fleet and other financed assets, the Group has net debt of $1.2m. Return on equity 2 was 23.5% and return on capital employed 2 was 18.4%. Underlying and basic earnings per share was 53.7 cents and 42.3 cents respectively. The Company declared an interim fully franked dividend of 33.0 cents per share. The record date is 16 March 2018 and it will be paid on 29 March 2018. 1 GRS excludes revenue and costs associated with Plan Management Partners (PMP) 2 Return on equity and capital employed excludes one-off payments in relation to transaction costs incurred in acquisitions, the amortisation of acquisition intangibles and the impairment of acquired intangible assets

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half year financial report of McMillan Shakespeare Limited does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2017, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the half year ended on that date, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial reporting. Directors Responsibility for the Half Year Financial Report The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Independent Auditor s Review Report 11 Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of McMillan Shakespeare Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Independence In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

For some clients, cash is held in bank accounts designated in their name and for other client monies they are held in pooled accounts that are specially designated as monies in trust for clients. All client monies are segregated from the Group s own cash. At reporting date, the balance of monies held in bank accounts in trust for clients representing all client contributions to operate their accounts were as follows.

Goodwill and other intangible assets Goodwill Brands Dealer Relationships Customer Lists and Relationships Software Development Contract Rights Total Carrying value Balance at beginning of period 191,186 13,734 21,109 4,451 19,719 547 250,746 Additions - - - - 4,138-4,138 Impairment (11,671) (639) (1,795) (893) - - (14,998) Amortisation - (763) (1,221) (378) (3,372) (534) (6,268) Change in foreign currency 791-233 9 23-1,056 Balance at end of period 180,306 12,332 18,326 3,189 20,508 13 234,674 The impairment charge before tax in the period of $14,998,000 relates to the warranty and insurance services and the finance brokerage business of the RFS Retail cash generating unit and has been recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The impairment charge resulted from the assessment to test that the carrying value did not exceed the estimated recoverable amount. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and was last tested for the annual financial report ended on 30 June 2017 but was re-tested for the current reporting date following performance under expectations to date. The recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the higher of the asset s fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. The value-in-use calculations were based on cash flow projections discounted at an after-tax discount rate of 12.6% (30 June 2017: 12.2%) and pre-tax rate of 15.8% (30 June 2017: 14.0%). For the purpose of assessing fair value, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of cash inflows from other assets (cash generating units - CGU). During the period, the RFS segment re-organised its operations into the Aggregation and Retail business groups. These business groups now target the wholesale and retail markets respectively and are managed by new leadership. Two new CGUs have resulted from the re-organisation in Aggregation, which is separated from the previous RFS Finance CGU, and the remainder of this CGU together with the previous Risk and Warranty CGU now forms the new RFS Retail CGU. Goodwill and other intangible assets have been re-allocated to these new CGUs accordingly, using fair values based on expected cash flows of the businesses. The RFS segment is exposed to a range of regulatory risks that may affect the business in originating consumer insurance and consumer lending products. It is not currently possible to measure the impact, if any, that these risks may have on RFS businesses and are accordingly, not factored into the key assumptions.

Other financial liability Contingent consideration 31 December 2017 Balance at the beginning of the period 10,815 Finance expense 150 Fair value adjustment (6,465) Change in foreign currency 336 Net carrying value 4,836 The contingent consideration recognised on the acquisition Anglo Scottish Finance plc (ASF) was assessed for its fair value at reporting date based on the existing contractual arrangements and the probability of the deferred consideration becoming payable, amongst other factors. Under the current arrangement the earn-out targets were structured for a fixed amount to be payable on the achievement of a minimum agreed EBITDA target that graduates to two higher amounts when the higher corresponding EBITDA targets are achieved. Although ASF has achieved strong growth post-acquisition, it is considered that the earn-out period under the existing agreement may not allow sufficient ramp-up to the required growth rate to meet the earn-out targets. Consequently, it has been determined as unlikely that the carrying amount of contingent consideration of $6,465,000 will be payable and has been adjusted to the Statement of Profit or Loss. If however, the earn-out terms under the existing agreement are modified, then any financial impact will be taken into account in the fair valuation process in the preparation of the FY18 Accounts. 13.
