Stock specific drivers of monthly performance relative to benchmark Three largest contributors Three largest detractors Overweight Xero (XRO, +11.9%) Overweight QANTAS (QAN, -2.8%) XRO is among our preferred technology growth names. Its Rapid deterioration in India’s Covid situation has weighed visibility on earnings and competitive positioning gives valuation on travel stocks including Qantas. QAN delivered a positive support in our view. Xero benefited from the growth rotation in update mid-month. But the market focused on the variation April. On the company front recent acquisitions in Europe should in Covid situations across the world which means help with its push onto the Continent. Its development of a international travel may take longer to ramp up. broader SME platform beyond the accounting function offers an Nevertheless the domestic outlook remains good, additional avenue of growth. particularly given QAN’s stronger competitive position. Overweight Monadelphous (MND, +22.6%) Overweight Metcash (MTS, -3.5%) MND surged after reaching an out-of-court settlement with Rio Comments from COL that they are seeing supportive trends Tinto over liability for the Cape Lambert fire. This had been an in a return to CBD and major centre shopping weighed on overhang since Rio launched legal actions against MND in MTS, which has benefited from the trend to local shopping August last year. The settlement is confidential, but at IGAs. We are yet to see conclusive data. We think recent management have said the amount is covered by insurance. investment in shopping formats and price mean MTS will be able to hang on to some of its gains. The revamped Underweight Woolworths (WOW, -3.8%) hardware strategy also offers an avenue of growth. WOW released a trading update that was better than the market Overweight Santos (STO, -1.7%) expected. But it still illustrated the base effect of cycling very strong sales this time last year. Coles also released an update STO issued a supportive production update which that suggested shopping trends that hurt COL disproportionately emphasised the work management has done to offset were reversing. This remains to be seen, but it was enough to macro challenges. Nevertheless the energy sector lagged close some of the valuation discount between COL and WOW. the market in April as the deteriorating situation in India and other emerging markets raised doubt about global demand. 3 Market outlook The portfolio was able to deal with the sudden rotation in market drivers reasonably well. Some of re-opening stocks that helped drive recent outperformance — such as Qantas (QAN), JB Hi-Fi (JBH) and Nine (NEC) — finished behind the index in April. But this was offset by growth exposures such as Xero (XRO) and Domain (DHG) and exposure to gold miners. We have entered something of a consolidation phase in recent weeks. This is not surprising given the market’s strong run. But we still see plenty of support for equity markets looking forward. The surge in stimulus is feeding through to very strong economic data in the US and substantial earnings revisions. There is a narrative of “peak growth”, which may be a contributing factor in the market’s recent pause for breathe. But we see a strong economic pulse extending for some time yet, given the scale of investment in areas such as renewable energy and re-shoring supply chains. Growth rates will necessarily slow from current levels but we think they will remain elevated. This is driving strength in earnings which is reducing valuation ratios. Price/earnings ratios for the US and Australia remain towards the top end of historical ranges, but are less extended than a few months ago. We are mindful that interest rates are far lower now (and likely to remain so) than in past episodes of high-aggregate valuations.

While underlying earnings (not including significant items) went backwards over the year, EBITDA came in ahead of market expectations. The result follows more than $900m in write-downs of its publishing assets which held back its FY16 result. While Domain has been its star performer for some time, its print business has been coming under pressure due to a slide in advertising dollars and a systemic change in the way Australians consume their news. FXJ confirmed it plans to spin-off its best performing asset, Domain and for trading in the real estate classifieds business to begin in mid to late November. The group intends to retain 60% of Domain with the remaining 40% to be distributed to FXJ shareholders. The split is still conditional on shareholder and regulatory approvals (including ASIC, ASX and ATO).

ASX Announcement ACN 004 898 962 Mia Yellagonga Thursday, 18 February 2021 11 Mount Street Perth WA 6000 ASX: WPL Australia OTC: WOPEY T +61 8 9348 4000 www.woodside.com.au WOODSIDE FULL-YEAR 2020 RESULTS Woodside delivered record full-year production of 100.3 million barrels of oil equivalent and its best-ever safety performance despite the difficult external conditions in 2020. The reported net loss after tax of US$4,028 million was impacted by the non-cash impairments and onerous contract provision announced in July 2020. Sustained operational excellence helped deliver underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) of US$447 million. The directors have declared a final dividend of US 12 cents per share (cps), bringing the full-year dividend to US 38 cps. The dividend was based on the underlying NPAT of US$447 million. Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said production topped 100 million barrels of oil equivalent for the first time in Woodside’s history. “Strong production outcomes were delivered even though we weathered a direct hit from Tropical Cyclone Damien in February, followed by operational challenges posed by the pandemic. “The outstanding performance of our base business in 2020 was reflected in our low unit production cost of $4.8 per barrel of oil equivalent and the high reliability of our operated LNG facilities. “The decisions to defer the targeted final investment decision (FID) on our Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 developments and the review of the value of our assets were appropriate responses to extraordinary market uncertainty caused by the pandemic and lower oil and gas prices.

FY20 guidance is bleak, given the housing construction downturn has as yet no end in sight and increased infrastructure construction is not sufficient to offset. The suspension of the dividend also came as no shock, but an intent to acquire and build out an integrated, infrastructure-oriented business model carries risk and reduces dividend prospects near-term.
