Smartgroup Benefits From Continued Growth in Salary Packaging and Novated Leases

Smartgroup provides employee management services, with salary packaging, novated leasing, fleet management, and software solutions as the key offerings. Together with McMillan Shakespeare, it is an oligopoly in Australia’s salary packaging market, and has a sizable presence in the novated leasing market. Entities in the government, healthcare, not-for-profit, and education industries make up 97% of Smartgroup’s client base. These industries are defensive, typically comprise low- to middle-class workers, and have favorable fringe benefits tax exemptions. They are regular users of Smartgroup’s services, and underpin the firm's steady revenue.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

As one of the largest salary packaging and novated lease providers in Australia, Smartgroup benefits from some scale advantages. A majority of Smartgroup’s clients are in defensive industries, and the firm has long-standing relationships with many of its clients.

Bears

Smartgroup’s business can be disrupted by many external factors beyond its control. Regulation is one example, which has disrupted its commissions and rebate income streams in recent periods. Its business relies on favorable FBT concessions, which may be removed by a future Australian government.
