Computershare Limited is a global leader in financial administration services, specializing in issuer services, corporate trust, employee share plans, and mortgage servicing. The company operates in sectors such as communication services and technology services & operations, with a presence in various regulated businesses worldwide.
In its latest half-year earnings report ending December 2024, Computershare Limited reported a mixed financial performance. Despite a 6.7% decline in total revenue to $1.5 billion due to the sale of its US Mortgage Services business, profit after tax from continuing operations surged by 24.9% to $286.5 million, indicating robust operational efficiency.
Key metrics highlighted include an increase in core fees and transactional revenue, driven by a 7.6% rise in issuer services revenues and a 22.9% increase in employee share plans revenue. However, revenue from mortgage services in the UK saw a decline due to legacy issues and currency fluctuations. The company also reported a notable improvement in profit from discontinued operations, which rose by 101%.
The company’s expenses rose by 4% due to restructuring efforts and inflationary pressures, yet borrowing costs were reduced, reflecting lower debt levels. The effective tax rate dropped significantly, influenced by changes in the US tax landscape following the divestment of the mortgage services business.
Looking ahead, Computershare Limited remains committed to pursuing growth opportunities, focusing on digital transformation and operational efficiency to drive future performance and shareholder value.
