Disclaimer The information in this presentation is current as at 16 August 2022. It is in summary form and is not necessarily complete. It should be read together with the BHP Results for the year ended 30 June 2022. Forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding: trends in economic outlook; commodity prices and currency exchange rates; demand for commodities; medium-term guidance; production forecasts; operational performance; expectations; plans, strategies and objectives of management; closure or divestment of certain assets, operations or facilities (including associated costs); anticipated production or construction commencement dates; capital expenditure or costs and scheduling; operating costs, including unit cost guidance, and shortages of materials and skilled employees; anticipated productive lives of projects, mines and facilities; provisions and contingent liabilities; and tax and regulatory developments. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology, including, but not limited to, ‘guidance’, ‘outlook’, ‘prospect’, ‘target’, ‘intend’, ‘aim’, ‘goal’, ‘project’, ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘plan’, ‘believe’, ‘expect’, ‘may’, ‘should’, ‘will’, ‘would’, ‘continue’, ‘annualised’ or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations concerning the results of assets or financial conditions, or provide other forward-looking information. The forward-looking statements are based on the information available as at the date of this presentation and/or the date of the Group’s planning processes or scenario analysis processes. There are inherent limitations with scenario analysis and it is difficult to predict which, if any, of the scenarios might eventuate. Scenarios do not constitute definitive outcomes for us. Scenario analysis relies on assumptions that may or may not be, or prove to be, correct and may or may not eventuate, and scenarios may be impacted by additional factors to the assumptions disclosed. Additionally, forward-looking statements in this release are not guarantees or predictions of future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this release. BHP cautions against reliance on any forward-looking statements or guidance, particularly in light of the current economic climate and the significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption arising in connection with the Ukraine conflict and COVID-19. For example, our future revenues from our assets, projects or mines described in this release will be based, in part, upon the market price of the minerals, or metals produced, which may vary significantly from current levels. These variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or mines, or the continuation of existing assets. Other factors that may affect the actual construction or production commencement dates, costs or production output and anticipated lives of assets, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and transport the minerals and/or metals extracted to applicable markets; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the minerals or metals we produce; activities of government authorities in the countries where we sell our products and in the countries where we are exploring or developing projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes; changes in environmental and other regulations; the duration and severity of the Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on our business; political uncertainty; labour unrest; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in section 9.1 of the Operating and Financial Review in the Appendix 4E and BHP’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) (including in Annual Reports on Form 20-F) which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by applicable regulations or by law, BHP does not undertake to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.

Appendix


Footnotes 1. Slide 5: Zero fatalities at our operated assets. High-potential injuries (HPI) are recordable injuries and first aid cases where there was the potential for a fatality. 2. Slide 5: Sites where BOS deployment has been completed have achieved on average a 24 basis point improvement versus baseline asset performance. 3. Slide 6: Presented on a total operations basis. The equivalent number for continuing operations is US$15.2 billion. For more information refer to BHP Economic Contribution Report 2022 to be released in September 2022. 4. Slide 6: For our baseline year of FY20, our operational GHG emissions were 14.5 Mt CO2-e, adjusted for Discontinued operations (Petroleum) and the divestment of BMC, and for method changes (use of AR5 Global Warming Potentials and move to facility-specific emissions calculation methodology for fugitives at Caval Ridge). These adjustments have also been applied to the GHG emissions stated in this table to aid comparability. The use of carbon offsets will be governed by BHP’s approach to carbon offsetting described at bhp.com/climate. GHG emissions are subject to final sustainability assurance review. 5. Slide 6: Refer to section 7.8 of the Operating and Financial Review in the Appendix 4E for the essential context, definitions, assumptions and drivers for BHP’s Scope 3 goal and targets. 6. Slide 6: ‘Withdrawal’ is defined as water withdrawn and intended for use (in accordance with ‘Water Reporting Good Practise Guide’, ICMM (2021)). ‘Fresh water’ is defined as waters other than seawater, wastewater from third parties and hypersaline groundwater. Freshwater withdrawal also excludes entrained water that would not be available for other uses. These exclusions have been made to align with the target’s intent to reduce the use of freshwater sources subject to competition from other users or the environment. The FY17 baseline data has been adjusted to account for: the materiality of the strike affecting water withdrawals at Escondida in FY17, improvements to water balance methodologies at WAIO and BMA, exclusion of hypersaline, wastewater, entrainment, supplies from desalination and removal of data for Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets and Petroleum) and the divestment of BMC. FY22 data has also been adjusted for BMC and Petroleum assets. 7. Slide 6: Target was to reduce FY22 freshwater withdrawals by 15 per cent from FY17 levels. 8. Slide 8: Adjusted effective tax rate and Adjusted effective tax rate incl. royalties: excludes the influence of exchange rate movements and exceptional items. 9. Slide 8: Dividend per share refers to cash dividends. 10. Slide 9: Price: net of price-linked costs. 11. Slide 9: Inflation: includes CPI increases across the cost base, and price increases for consumable costs including diesel and sulphuric acid. Other includes consumable materials and explosives. 12. Slide 9: CPI is exclusive of any CPI relating to diesel and acid. 13. Slide 9: Ceased and sold operations includes US$1.4 billion contribution of BMC prior to divestment, and a US$0.3 billion decrease in costs compared with the prior year related to the closure and rehabilitation provision for closed mines. 14. Slide 10: Bloomberg commodity index (Source: Bloomberg, BCOM Index) as at the end of each quarter, rebased to BHP FY10 EBITDA margin. BHP FY22 underlying EBITDA margin from continuing operations (excluding third party products). Peer data compiled from publicly available information (e.g. company reports). Peers include: Anglo American, Glencore (exc. Marketing), Rio Tinto, Vale. 15. Slide 11: Average realised exchange rates for FY22 of AUD/USD 0.73 (FY22 guidance rate AUD/USD 0.78) and USD/CLP 811 (FY22 guidance rate USD/CLP 727). 16. Slide 11: WAIO C1 cost: excludes royalties (government and third party royalties), exploration expenses, depletion of production stripping, demurrage, exchange rate gains/losses, net inventory movements and other income. 17. Slide 11: Includes BMC up to 3 May 2022, when BHP completed the sale of its 80 per cent interest in BMC to Stanmore SMC Holdings Pty Ltd, a wholly owned entity of Stanmore Resources Limited. 18. Slide 12: Medium term capital expenditure refers to FY25 – FY27. Major capital represents projects >US$250 million. 19. Slide 13: Excess cash includes total net cash outflow of US$2.6 billion (FY21: US$2.5 billion) which comprises dividends paid to non-controlling interests of US$2.5 billion (FY21: US$2.1 billion); net investment and funding of equity accounted investments of US$0.3 billion (FY21: US$0.6 billion) and an adjustment for exploration expenses of US$(0.2) billion (FY21: US$(0.1) billion) which is classified as organic development in accordance with the Capital Allocation Framework. 20. Slide 13: CAF refers to Capital Allocation Framework. Reinvestment and return cash flows from FY16 to FY22. 21. Slide 15: China’s credit impulse data sourced from BHP estimates; CEIC; PBoC. 22.

Some previously reported data points have been re-stated as a result of assurance reviews completed subsequent to release of information, reclassification or to reflect portfolio changes, including the divestments in FY22 of Petroleum and BMC. Re-stated figures are shown in italics. FY22 data for safety, social investment, local procurement and workforce participation includes the operated assets in our Petroleum business up to the date of the merger (1 June 2022) and BMC up to the date of completion of the sale (3 May 2022). 2. For our baseline year of FY17, our operational GHG emissions were 12.9 Mt CO2-e, adjusted for Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets and Petroleum) and the divestment of BMC, and for method changes (use of AR5 Global Warming Potentials and the move to a facility-specific emissions calculation methodology for fugitives at Caval Ridge). These adjustments have also been applied to the GHG emissions stated in this table to aid comparability. No offsets have been retired for this purpose. 3. For our baseline year of FY20, our operational GHG emissions were 14.5 Mt CO2-e, adjusted for Discontinued operations (Petroleum) and the divestment of BMC, and for method changes (use of AR5 Global Warming Potentials and the move to a facility-specific emissions calculation methodology for fugitives at Caval Ridge). These adjustments have also been applied to the GHG emissions stated in this table to aid comparability. The use of carbon offsets will be governed by BHP’s approach to carbon offsetting described at bhp.com/climate. 4. For our baseline year of FY17, our freshwater withdrawals were 152.2 GL (on an adjusted basis, excluding Onshore US assets, Petroleum and BMC). The FY17 baseline data has also been adjusted to account for: the materiality of the strike affecting water withdrawals at Escondida in FY17, improvements to water balance methodologies at WAIO and BMA and exclusion of hypersaline, wastewater, entrainment and supplies from desalination. These adjustments have also been applied to FY22 and FY21 data to aid with comparability. 5. Minerals Australia operations employees in Australia. 6.
