During the financial year, Kelly Partners Group Holdings made significant progress. Our commitment to helping our<br />

clients' accounting, tax, audit and advisory needs (principally SME and mid-market businesses) via our 13 office locations<br />

delivered continued growth across all our business areas.<br />

The <strong>2017</strong> financial year saw the Group deliver a Net Profit After Tax of $1.08 million after taking into account one off<br />

costs largely associated with the IPO of the company (refer page 73 of Financial <strong>Report</strong>). Group Revenue was up by 43%<br />

and underlying Group EBITDA (after adjusting for non–recurring items) grew by 67% to $8.7 million. Underlying EBITDA<br />

attributable to shareholders grew by 60% to $4.3m (refer page 61 of Financial <strong>Report</strong>). The driver of this performance was<br />

growth across all business areas, disciplined management of costs and focus on core business delivery.<br />

Our Mission and Strategy - A key differentiator for the business is the clarity of understanding as to our mission and<br />

strategy. We focus on helping clients realise a stronger financial future by delivering coordinated financial advice.<br />

In executing our strategy, we concentrate on five key areas: maximise the partnership model; strengthen foundations<br />

for growth; broaden service offering and maintain SME focus; drive operational excellence and fully deliver the<br />

Kelly+Partners Financial Advice System.<br />

Alignment - Our business model is entirely focused on alignment of interests of our partners, people, clients<br />

and shareholders and this team based approach has, and we believe will continue, to drive superior opportunity<br />

and performance in the businesses.<br />

Message from the Chairman & CEO<br />

Outlook - We have a clear mission and strategy, focused on our continuing to deliver growth over time. We are excited<br />

about the opportunities to bring additional talented people and services to our clients, and to build Kelly Partners<br />

Group’s position in the industry. What is good for our partners and clients, will be great for our business and long-term<br />

shareholder value.<br />

I am extremely grateful to the Kelly Partners Group team and its partners, for their dedication and willingness to<br />

embrace change as we continue to grow and evolve. We are committed to making Kelly Partners Group not just<br />

a great company and a great place to work, but one that makes all of its people and clients better off.<br />
