<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have concluded our investigation and identified improvements at Saraji and for BMA. We are working to implement them at BMA and across the company, and to
share them with the industry. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We remain resolute in our commitment to eliminating fatalities and serious injuries at BHP. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">That commitment to doing what&#146;s right is one of our Values and it extends to everything we do. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Last week I was in Brazil to finalise the Samarco settlement agreement that Ken referenced earlier. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I also visited the community of Novo Bento Rodrigues for the second time and saw firsthand the progress made in resettling those displaced by the dam failure.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We can never undo the hurt and sorrow caused by the tragic events of 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">However, this agreement is another significant step forward. Approximately 500,000 people will be eligible for individual compensation under the new system
which will be faster, easier and more certain. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The agreement will support ongoing programs benefitting the environment and health, and it will support
socio-economic revitalisation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is wholly reflective of the values we seek to uphold. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>What we do matters </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">2024 was another year of strong
delivery at BHP. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Of disciplined execution of our clear, simple strategy&#133; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And continued progress on shaping our portfolio for the future. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In doing so, we have pursued our purpose of bringing people and resources together to build a better world. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I want to focus on our purpose for a moment and build on what Ken said about the opportunities for the world that are underpinned by our people, partners and
assets. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Specifically, I want to outline what we mean when we talk about building a better world. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Let&#146;s look at the global shifts BHP&#146;s key commodities support. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rising living standards and food security for a growing population... </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our iron ore, copper, steelmaking coal and potash support the pursuit of a very basic human instinct &#150; to improve our lives and those of the generations
that come after us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Billions of people seeking higher standards of living is an enduring source of demand, and one we are proud to play a part in
delivering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Infrastructure and electrification that make our cities better, safer, and more liveable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Data centres to power the Artificial Intelligence boom, which will underpin new technologies and enable greater and greater innovation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Increasing productivity from decreasing arable land &#150; meaning more and better food for more people around the globe. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">What we produce matters. And how we seek to do it matters too. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I hope our shareholders are proud to be with us as we move forward with our strategy. And I hope you see that our progress has purpose. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Global economic outlook </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Governments around the world are
focused on how they deliver progress for their nations too. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We think markets work best when global trade and economic cooperation are prioritised. A

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Removing barriers to trade, not building them. Allowing capital to flow where it is most needed. Regional and national economies working effectively as more
than the sum of their parts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP will continue to engage constructively with governments around the world to advocate for policy settings that drive the
competitiveness of their economies, benefit their citizens, create jobs and encourage businesses to grow. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Strong operational performance </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Of course, value adding growth is firmly on our agenda at BHP &#150; and it is underpinned by our track record of strong business performance in recent years.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In FY2024, we achieved production records at a number of our assets and we widened our lead as the world&#146;s lowest cost iron ore producer. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is a credit to the more than 90,000 employees and contractors who work so hard to build a better BHP every day. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I can&#146;t speak strongly enough about the importance of operational excellence to our success. We invest heavily in the capability of our people. Our BHP
Operating System, the way our people work, from the mine site to the office, is a genuine competitive advantage and a source of great pride across many parts of our business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The solid operational performance our workforce delivered, along with higher prices in key commodities, helped us deliver dividends totalling 146 US cents
&#150; or about 220 Australian cents per share for the year. Since FY2021, BHP has paid the most dividends of any mining company globally, and in fact has been one of the highest dividend payers across all industries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our performance also allows us to plan for - and invest in - value adding growth projects. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>A portfolio for now and for the future </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As we have done
that, we have continued to reshape our portfolio to position BHP for the future. This deliberate strategy gives the company and our shareholders greater exposure to commodities that will stand to benefit as global megatrends play out around us. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have strengthened our already very strong position in copper, and we&#146;re exploring further growth around the world. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Like in South Australia, where we could grow copper production to around 500&nbsp;thousand tonnes a year, with further potential of up to 650&nbsp;thousand.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At Escondida, already the world&#146;s largest copper mine, where we have potential to add around 200&nbsp;thousand tonnes per year. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And at the Filo del Sol and Josemaria projects in Argentina and Chile, which we will seek to advance through a 50/50 joint venture with Lundin Mining, after
our Joint Acquisition of Filo Corp. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect completion of that transaction in the March 2025 quarter, subject to regulatory approvals, and we will have
the opportunity to advance what we consider to be one of the most significant copper discoveries in decades. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In nickel, conditions have been more
challenging, and we took the difficult but necessary decision to temporarily suspend our Western Australia Nickel business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We&#146;re continuing to
invest to enable a potential <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-start</FONT> at Western Australia Nickel if the market outlook improves. We will review the decision by February 2027. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Across in Canada, construction of Stage 1 of our Jansen potash project is more than halfway complete and
ahead of original schedule, and we&#146;ve begun to execute Stage 2. First production from Jansen is only around two years away. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">By the end of the
decade, we expect to be one of the leading players in the potash industry globally. And this will feed into a global market which is expected to grow strongly for decades. Jansen is set to become a world class asset in an investment friendly
jurisdiction and create value for generations to come. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Clear strategy, disciplined execution </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These decisions are consistent with our strategy, which is clear and simple. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have a differentiated portfolio of the best assets in the most attractive commodities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We operate them excellently and apply discipline to our allocation of capital. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The precise execution of this strategy underpins our results and our shareholder returns. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Resources is a cyclical industry. The stability of our strategy and the reliability of our execution make for a durable and resilient business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We heard earlier from Ken about growing volatility in the world. I speak regularly with investors, customers and partners around the globe, so I know we are
not alone in believing this will continue for the foreseeable future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this global context, there is stability and resilience in our size, the quality
of our assets and the strength of our partnerships. A strong balance sheet and diversified commodity base helps to shield us against the cyclical nature of our sector and geopolitical uncertainty. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It also leaves us well placed to work with smaller miners and explorers to bring new deposits to market faster and with less risk in execution. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And in doing all of this, we can continue to deliver strong margins and cash flow. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP&#146;s record stacks up well. Over the past decade, BHP&#146;s margin has averaged around 55&nbsp;percent. That&#146;s over 10 percentage points higher
than the average of the next closest major competitor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The creation of social value is integral as well, to our strategy and to the delivery of long-term
shareholder value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I spoke earlier about the irrefutable need for mining as we work towards our future. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the starting point is that we need more of these resources, then the bigger questions are who should bring them to market and how? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In our view, it will be large, diversified miners like BHP with the balance sheet strength, track record of operational excellence and social value
credentials who will increasingly play that role. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It&#146;s making our workforce more inclusive and diverse &#150; which drives better outcomes in safety and productivity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And it&#146;s building a pipeline of future talent in highly skilled roles that will help support productivity and keep economies - including Australia&#146;s
- strong. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This includes BHP&#146;s FutureFit Academy, established as part of our Operations Services mining services organisation at a cost of
A$300&nbsp;million, in Mackay here in Queensland and in Western Australia. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Academy has graduated more than 750 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">new-to-industry</FONT></FONT> Australians, providing them with skills for the future and a high-paying job with BHP from day one. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our social value approach also drives tangible results for the communities and suppliers vital to our business and to livelihoods in the regions where we
operate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This year we spent more than US$3.3&nbsp;billion with more than 2,600 small, local and Indigenous businesses &#150; up 9&nbsp;percent on last
year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Here in Australia, our Local Buying Program, which was established first here in Queensland, has more than 1,500 registered suppliers, and
we&#146;ve approved over 90,000 work packages worth over A$1&nbsp;billion since its launch in 2012. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Finally, we also made further progress on our
operational decarbonisation plans and, as Ken noted, we remain on track to meet our operational greenhouse gas emissions target of at least a 30&nbsp;per cent reduction by FY2030 against a FY2020 baseline. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is valuable work that benefits our shareholders, our partners, and every economy in which we operate. </P>
