  • As predicted in 2014 Strategy plan, we transitioned from the “Transform” into the “Grow” stage in 18/19
  • Stronger than anticipated FY19 - part-year acquisition contribution as well as very strong organic growth
  • Revenue growth in FY19, the growth expected in FY20, as well as our very strong order intake, indicates we

are outperforming our overall market which we think is growing at 2-3% on a weighted basis

The OCP journey is materially complete

  • OCP liability of £447m at end of 2014, reduced to £17m end of 2019; therefore ~96% ‘done’; cumulative net

release over 5 years within 2% of original liability

  • Dealing with OCPs has been an operationally complex programme, pulling on many levers:

– Converted into a profitable contract: ‒ on rebid (eg COMPASS/AASC, PECS) ‒ on contract extension (eg Lincs CC, Melbourne Parks & Gardens) ‒ through operational improvements (eg FPMS, Herts CC, WLA parking) – Disposed of (eg contracts within Intelenet sale, ASP) – Early exit/hand-back (YJB, VDOT, East Kent) – Exit at end of contract (eg ACPB, Hong Kong Eastern Harbour Crossing and Tsing Sha CA)

  • Original revenue base of onerous contracts was ~£600m; by the end of 2019 it is <£100m; only material

contracts remaining are PECS (ends August 2020, new contract already secured) and Caledonian Sleeper (loss share arrangement from April 2020, then terms adjustment or exit from April 2022; no OCP remains, only an IFRS16 lease liability of £23m)

Order book and pipeline progress

  • Order book progress comes from existing work (ie

rebids/extensions) as well as new work; cumulatively over last 7 years, mix of order intake has been roughly split 50:50 between rebids/extensions and new work

  • Order book definition aligned from FY18 to IFRS15

disclosure (revenue to be recognised from remaining performance obligations on existing contractual arrangements); excludes unsigned extension periods, but the £14.1bn would be £1.2bn higher at £15.3bn if option periods in our US business were included; adding Serco’s share of JV&A revenue would add a further £1.5bn

  • Acquisitions further enhance the order book progress;

£0.7bn added from Carillion transaction in FY18; NSBU has visibility of ~$700m but only $200m is recognised in the IFRS15 order book (rest is unexercised options)

  • New bid pipeline at end of FY19 of £4.9bn excludes ~£1.6bn
  • f opportunities <£10m ACV; going forward, we will no

longer apply this minimum size criteria, therefore the pipeline on the new basis is ~£6.5bn; we are also tracking a further ~£10bn at earlier ‘gate’ stage, and there is additional potential growth from US IDIQ frameworks, and other volume or in-contract opportunities; the pipeline also specifically excludes rebids and extensions, which also have potential to produce growth

  • During FY19, almost the full value of the pipeline rotated.

Most opportunities from 12 months earlier have either been won, lost or removed, therefore most of the £4.9bn reflects new opportunities added

* in 2018, the methodology for calculating employee engagement changed, aligned to the new specialist third party provider of the survey.

UK & Europe summary of FY19

Justice, Immigration, Defence, Health, Citizen Services, Transport

  • Revenue up: +5% CFX, +2% organic (ie excl. Carillion health FM contracts).

Growth from the AASC contracts (COMPASS rebid and expansion), Skills Support for the Workforce and DWP contracts, and new enviro services for two councils. Growth was partially offset by some other contracts ending (East Kent Hospitals and Anglia Support Partnership, both of which were

  • nerous), and lower revenue in some European operations.
  • UTP margin flat: at 3.0% excl. IFRS16 effect (FY18: 3.0%), or 2.7% JV&A-

adjusted; JV&A contribution modestly reduced with new AWE pricing period; AASC transition costs in H1 more than offset by move to profit in H2; improved performance in health business driven by the Carillion acquisition.

  • OCPs: £33m utilisation excl. IFRS16 effect (FY18: £47m); principally offsetting

losses on Caledonian Sleeper, COMPASS, PECS.

  • Contracts awards: >£3bn. AASC, the Group’s largest ever award, was

~£1.9bn, and was part rebid and part new. PECS also rebid and expanded at ~£0.8bn; Other awards include: Skills Support for the Workforce; new enviro services for Windsor and Maidenhead, with extensions for numerous other councils; other extensions including defence support services, contact centre services and support to European institutions.

  • Rebids/extensions due before end of 2022: Herts CC, FPMS, Skynet.

  • Revenue up very strongly: +42% RFX, +35% CFX, +19% organic. Very

strong growth in US Navy ship mod task orders, albeit against a weak comparative in 1H18; particularly strong demand on the CANES IDIQ for network upgrade tasks on ships and submarines; also FEMA task orders and new contracts such as PBGC and USAF TRIRIGA.

  • UTP margin up very strongly: to 8.6% excl. IFRS16 effect (FY18: 7.1%). CMS

revenue broadly flat but profit up strongly in H1 on new contract structure and unusually high volumes of fixed-price variable work; margins reduced in H2, and we don’t expect margins to recur at the FY19 levels in the future.

  • NSBU tracking to plan: £110m revenue, £8.6m UTP

, 7%+ margin; smooth integration; ~$300m contract awards; visibility on ~$700m revenue (IFRS15

  • rder book of ~$200m as excludes unexercised options).

Transport, Defence, Health, Citizen Services

  • Revenue broadly flat: +2% RFX but -2% CFX and organic; growth from

expanded services at the Dubai Metro and new contracts for airport fire & rescue services and hospital support services in Saudi Arabia. Revenue reduced on the rebid MELABS contract, loss of Bahrain air navigation services and a reduction in Saudi rail operations.

  • UTP margin down: to 3.9% excl. IFRS16 effect (FY18: 6.3%); decline driven,

as expected, by significant reduction on the MELABS contract following the successful rebid.

Appendix 1 – notes and definitions

  • Revenue is as defined under IFRS, which excludes Serco’s share of revenue of its joint ventures and associates. In prior periods where relevant, revenue

including that from any discontinued operations has been shown for consistency with previous guidance and disclosures.

  • Organic revenue growth is the change at constant currency after adjusting to exclude the impact of relevant acquisitions or disposals.
  • Trading Profit is defined as IFRS Operating Profit excluding amortisation of intangibles arising on acquisition as well as exceptional items. Consistent with

IFRS, it includes Serco’s share of profit after interest and tax of its joint ventures and associates. Underlying Trading Profit excludes Contract & Balance Sheet Review adjustments (principally Onerous Contract Provision (OCP) releases or charges) and other material one-time items. In prior periods where relevant, it has also excluded the beneficial treatment of depreciation and amortisation of assets held for sale. In prior periods where relevant, Trading Profit measures have included discontinued operations for consistency with previous guidance and disclosures.

  • Change at constant currency for Revenue and Underlying Trading Profit is calculated by translating non-Sterling values for the period being reported into

Sterling at the average exchange rate for the comparable period.

  • Underlying EPS reflects the Underlying Trading Profit measure after deducting pre-exceptional net finance costs and related tax effects.
  • Trading Cash Flow is the net cash flow from operating activities before exceptional items as shown on the face of the Group’s Consolidated Cash Flow

Statement and is stated after net capital expenditure on tangible and intangible asset purchases, adding dividends we receive from joint ventures and associates, and adjusting to remove net tax paid.

  • Free Cash Flow is Trading Cash Flow after adjusting to deduct net interest paid and net tax paid.
  • Pre-tax ROIC is calculated as Underlying Trading Profit or Trading Profit divided by the Invested Capital balance on a two-point average basis. Invested

Capital assets are: goodwill and other intangible assets; property, plant and equipment (excluding ROU lease assets); interests in joint ventures and associates; contract assets, trade and other receivables; and inventories. All other assets are excluded from Invested Capital, being: ROU lease assets; tax assets; derivative financial instruments; retirement benefit assets; and cash and cash equivalents. Of the total liabilities on the Balance Sheet, Invested Capital liabilities are contract liabilities, trade and other payables. All other liabilities are excluded from Invested Capital being: lease liabilities; tax liabilities; provisions; derivative financial instruments; retirement benefit obligations; and loans. In prior periods where relevant, assets and liabilities classified as held for sale were also included in Invested Capital.

  • The order book reflects the estimated value of future revenue based on all existing signed contracts, excluding Serco’s share of joint ventures and
  • associates. It excludes contracts at the preferred bidder stage and excludes the award of new Multiple Award Contracts (MACs) or Indefinite Delivery /

Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract or framework vehicles, where Serco cannot estimate with sufficient certainty its expected future value of specific task

  • rders that may be issued under the IDIQ or MAC; in these situations the value of any task order is recognised within the order book when subsequently

won. In 2018, the definition was aligned with IFRS15 disclosures of the future revenue expected to be recognised from the remaining performance

  • bligations on existing contractual arrangements. This excludes unsigned extension periods as well as option periods in our US business (though an order

book value including option periods is also noted).

  • The pipeline is defined as new bid opportunities with estimated Annual Contract Value (ACV) of at least £10m, and which are expected to be bid and

awarded within a rolling 24-month timeframe. The TCV of individual opportunities is capped at £1bn. The definition does not include rebids and extension

  • pportunities related to existing contractual relationships. FOR MACs or IDIQs, only the potential value of any individual task order is included.

Appendix 2 – market growth and drivers

  • Weighted growth rate across all our sectors and geographies has slowed from 5-7% seen in 2010-14 to around 2-3% in

2018-19; conditions in the UK, which represents ~40% of our revenues, weakened in large part because of Brexit diversion, and acting as a drag to aggregate market growth; demand in some markets remained more robust eg US defence market growth forecast to be ~8%

Appendix 4 – cash management normalisation

The impact of net proceeds from the May 2014 Placing, the April 2015 Rights Issue and refinancing, and the December 2015 BPO disposal are all adjusted for in the above charts. In FY19, the effect of the 28 May 2019 Placing proceeds (cash inflow of £139m for ~7 months of the year) and the completion of the NSBU acquisition on 1 September 2019 (cash outflow of £184m for ~5 months of the year) have also been adjusted for; for the purpose of the above chart this has the effect of changing the 365-day average from £231m to £237m, and changing the year-end Adjusted Net Debt from £215m to £169m.

Pre 2014, net debt at statutory Balance Sheet dates had been as much as £200m+ better than the 365-day average Previous cash management has been unwound, removing the cash inflow ‘spikes’ seen at the open/mid/closing statutory dates of FY13 and FY14 By FY16, the in-year cash cycle swing narrowed the peak/trough range; the difference between statutory Balance Sheet and average net debt has since been ~£50m Some daily volatility can still result from the timing of contracts starting and ending; statutory dates will be persistently better than the average due to 4-4-5 billing cycle in the US

  • FY19 underlying tax of £24.4m, which, on UPBT of £98.4m (UTP of £120.2m less net finance costs of £21.8m), is

a 25% effective tax rate (ETR) due to the composition of UPBT and ETRs by tax jurisdiction: – UK in-year losses have reduced, and while still not yet taking a deferred tax (DTA) credit against these, the credit for sale of tax losses to JVs now equates to an overall UK ETR of ~10% – Overseas profits ETR blends ~28-30%, reflecting the mix of Australia, US and Middle East local rates – JV&A profits are consolidated within UPBT after tax, therefore equivalent to an ETR of 0% – Net Finance Costs credit equivalent to an ETR of ~30%

  • The ETR reducing from 35% in FY17, to 26% in FY18, then to 25% in FY19, is predominantly due to the

reduction in UK in-year losses which derive a limited tax credit; in FY19, the increase in the UPBT mix from

  • verseas, particularly the US, has the effect of broadly stabilising the ETR at ~25%
  • Cash tax rate will likely be sustainably 1-2% lower than an Income Statement ETR of ~25%, though timing of

cash tax payments on account can impact the outflow in any single period. A lower cash tax rate is primarily driven by: – Utilisation of the UK DTA will lower cash tax; to date, the improved outlook of future profitability has resulted in recognising £21m of UK DTA. There is an additional potential DTA of £129m in relation to UK tax losses; recognition of more of this balance is contingent on further improvement in the UK

Appendix 16 – IFRS16 leases: background and effect

  • New accounting standard effective for the Group from 1 January 2019; transition approach for Serco means

prior periods are not restated; guidance for FY19 was updated for IFRS16 back in February 2019

  • Key impacts of IFRS16 are that Underlying Trading Profit (UTP) increases, but Net Finance Cost (NFC) also

increases; these increases fully net out over the life of each lease, but the ‘interest cost’ is higher in the early years of a lease and lower in the later years, as the finance charge on the liability is on a reducing balance basis whereas depreciation of the asset is on a straight line basis

  • Importantly, IFRS16 has no cash flow impact, nor any covenant impact; net debt for covenant purposes will

continue to be calculated by lenders under the prior standard, IAS17; Serco’s guidance of Adjusted Net Debt, which excludes all lease obligations, therefore closely matches the covenant definition

  • FY19 effect:

– Opening Balance Sheet adjustments of a lease ROU asset of £104m, lease liability of £129m – Asset ≠ liability on adoption due to transition methodology and impairment of ROU assets on OCPs – Operating lease expense no longer charged to UTP: £54.5m; this is replaced by: – depreciation cost of newly recognised lease ‘right of use’ (ROU) asset charged to UTP: £53.3m – ‘interest cost’ of newly recognised lease liability charged to NFC: £6.6m

  • Original guidance for FY19 was for UTP and NFC each to increase by ~£5m, so broadly netting out; the actual

increase to UTP has only been £1.2m, as the OCPs on two contracts were fully utilised on a post-IFRS16 basis, with £3.9m of trading losses impacting UTP; adjusting for this, the actual increase would have been £5.1m for UTP , broadly netting out against the £6.6m increase to NFC

  • AASC contract will have a bigger impact in FY20: net margin lower in earlier years, higher in later years
  • For the Caledonian Sleeper OCP contract, the ROU asset that would have been newly recognised in-year was

immediately impaired by accelerated OCP utilisation; the residual OCP liability is therefore now nil, but there is a lease liability; the profile of cash outflows has remained the same

Appendix 17 – contract nature and inflation mitigation

  • Around ¾ of revenue is from contracts where pricing is “fixed” in advance and on a longer term contractual

basis; a “long term fixed price contracting” model requires careful cost inflation consideration

  • The remainder is the “non-fixed” revenue base, which includes: work on shorter term task order basis or

“cost plus” contracting (which represents a large proportion of the Americas division); pricing based on “time and expenses” or other project-based mechanisms; and revenue linked to that received direct from end users (eg Transport fares). This “non-fixed” revenue base should have relatively direct mechanisms for cost inflation pass-through.

  • Whilst our contracting model is therefore dominated by “fixed” pricing, in fact >90% of that has a significant

amount of inflationary protection, via – Generic adjusters (RPI, RPIx, CPI, etc), wage indices or ‘basket of goods’ indices – In some instances there are specific inflation adjusters for labour rates (eg Barts, re London Living Wage), or for other particular cost categories (eg fuel price adjusters)

Strategic fit and rationale; people

  • Adds scale: increases size of Serco’s US Defence business by ~70%; NSBU’s FY18 $336m revenue vs Serco US

Defence of $453m

  • Adds capability: high-end engineering, naval systems design, production support, through-life sustainment
  • Access to cost synergies through improved overhead recovery on Fixed-Price contracts
  • Increases our presence in growing market: US Navy committed to expand fleet from 280 to 355 ships by both

new build and service life extension

  • Opportunity to deploy skills into international markets: Canada, UK, Middle East, Australia
  • People: skilled and long-tenured team; 30% > 10 years, 65% > 3 years
  • Senior management team and all operational staff to transfer to Serco
  • Appropriate arrangements to be put in place around transition and retention

The acquisition of NSBU brings world-class naval design and architecture, production support and in-service sustainment capabilities, which are highly complementary to Serco’s existing skills in ship and shore-based modernisation, hardware integration and naval logistics
