21. Outlook
University Programs
• Growth against pcp expected in H2 FY13
New student recruitment in 201203 and 201301 expected to arrest
earnings decline in Australia relative to pcp
UK and US results will continue to be strong compared to pcp
Growth in both Canada and Singapore moderating
Student Recruitment losses expected to continue in H2 FY13
SAE
• SAE’s modest earnings growth in H1 FY13 is expected to be
repeated in H2 FY13
Australia and US to provide earnings momentum
Weakness in parts of Europe anticipated to continue in H2 FY13
NAVITAS – HALF YEAR RESULTS PRESENTATION – 31 DECEMBER 2012 – ASX: NVT 21
22. Outlook
Professional and English Programs
• Second half earnings projected to be greater than H1 FY13
Losses stemmed in Professional
English performance is not expected to be as strong as first half
Corporate costs
• Expected to rise in H2 FY13 and beyond partly due to restructure
• Efficiencies sought at divisional level
• Anticipated to remain steady at less than 3% of revenue
H2 FY13 tax and depreciation expense to be lower than H1 FY13
All factors should support some improvement in FY13 with more
significant growth from FY14
