Summary of the Operating Groups' performance for the half year ended 30 September 2021.

Result Overview

Non-Banking Group

Banking Group

Annuity-style businesses

Macquarie Asset Management (MAM)

$A1,305m

µµ23% on pcp

• Increased other fee and commission income largely due to the disposition fee from Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC)
• Increased base fees primarily driven by the acquisition of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (Waddell & Reed), investments made by Private Markets-managed funds and mandates and Public Investments market movements
• Increased share of net profits from associates and joint ventures, primarily driven by equity accounted income from MIC and increased Macquarie AirFinance income compared to the prior corresponding period, which included the impact of COVID-19
• Decreased credit and other impairment charges driven by a reversal of the impairment previously recognised on MAM's investment in MIC.

Partially offset by:

• increased operating expenses driven by Waddell & Reed one-off acquisition and ongoing costs
• decreased net income on equity, debt and other investments driven by the sale of Macquarie European Rail in the prior corresponding period
• decreased performance fees following a strong prior corresponding period.

Banking and Financial Services (BFS)

$A482m

µµ52% on pcp

• Higher net interest and trading income driven by volume growth in the loan portfolio and BFS deposits
• Decreased credit impairment charges driven by an improvement in expected macroeconomic conditions compared to the prior corresponding period
• Decreased brokerage, commission and fee expenses largely due to the cessation of grandfathered commission payments to third party advisors in line with legislation.

Partially offset by:

• higher employment and technology expenses, including increased headcount, to support business growth.

Markets-facing businesses

Macquarie Capital

$A468m

µµsignificantly on pcp

• Higher net income on equity, debt and other investments driven by higher revenue from asset realisations predominantly in Europe, in the business services and technology sectors
• Higher fee and commission income due to higher mergers and acquisitions fee income and debt capital markets fee income, partially offset by lower equity capital markets fee income
• Higher net interest and trading income resulting from growth in the Principal Finance debt portfolio, and lower funding costs compared to the prior corresponding period
• Higher other income reflecting gains on sale of green energy projects
• Lower operating expenses predominantly driven by lower employment costs.

Partially offset by:

• higher credit and other impairment charges primarily due to a small number of underperforming equity investments and growth of the debt portfolio
• higher non-controlling interests predominantly driven by share of gains on disposal attributable to non-controlling interests.

Commodities and Global Markets(1) (CGM)

$A1,729m

µµ60% on pcp

• Increased risk management products income reflecting strong results across all sectors particularly from Gas and Power, Resources, and Agriculture due to increased client hedging activity and gains associated with management of those exposures as a result of elevated levels of volatility and price movements in commodity markets
• Net income on equity, debt and other investments up significantly driven by the gain on the partial sale of the UK Meters portfolio of assets, comprising the industrial and commercial portfolio
• Decreased credit and other impairment charges due to an improvement in expected global macroeconomic conditions.

Partially offset by:

• lower inventory management and trading income included strong trading gains from supply and demand imbalances in Gas and Power that were more than offset by the impact of timing of income recognition, primarily on storage contracts and transport agreements
• lower fee and commission income due to a reduction in fees associated with structured deals in asset finance which occur on an intermittent basis.
