Brian Kruger Chairman Whilst this year has seen its challenges, the Board is optimistic for the future and confident your Company is in a good position going into FY20. 8 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 I was privileged to work closely with our former Chairman, Mr Paul Brasher during my two years as an Incitec Pivot Limited Board member and I would like to acknowledge his service to the Company. Mr Brasher made an enormous contribution over ten years and I wish him well for the future. During my years as a Board member, I worked with Mr Brasher and the Board to help guide the Company through a period of significant change. This included the appointment of Managing Director & CEO Jeanne Johns, under whose effective leadership we are seeing significant progress being made on our strategic agenda, as we head into FY20. Our Company has a strong underlying business and continues to make progress on our purpose of making people’s lives better by unlocking the world’s natural resources through innovation on the ground. The past 12 months have been challenging, with performance impacted by a number of events, some of which were beyond our control. The Company has reported Net Profit After Tax for FY19 of $152.4m, after $140m of non-recurring items, compared to $347.4m in FY18. Our Balance Sheet has a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.8x (pcp 1.6x), following completion of the previously announced $300 million share buy- back. The Board declared a final dividend of 3.4 cents per share, 30% franked. Total dividends for FY19 are 4.7 cents per share, down from 10.7 cents per share in FY18. This represents a payout ratio of 50% of NPAT. Our financial results have been impacted by several significant one-off weather events in Australia and the US during FY19. Our Company has felt the impact of a one in a hundred-year flood in north Queensland, an extended drought on the east coast of Australia and flooding in the mid-west USA. The strategic direction of the Company has been evolving over the last two years as we develop premium technologies and deliver for our customers in the resources and agricultural industries. Earlier this year the Board and I visited a number of customer sites in the US to see first-hand how our people are developing and implementing our innovative products and solutions to deliver outstanding services to our customers in the mining, and quarry and construction sectors. The Board has also endorsed the development and implementation of the Company’s new manufacturing excellence strategy. The strategy is expected to see significant earnings uplift by FY22, due to reliability improvements in our manufacturing plants. In September, we announced a strategic review of our Fertilisers business which, as planned, will continue into FY20. The review will assess how the Fertilisers business can reach its full potential, with three options identified – the sale of the business, a demerger of the business, or retain the business as part of the IPL Group and invest in its future. It will include a formal process to explore market interest which will help us properly assess the best outcome for shareholders. When it comes to sustainability, we are progressing with our Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosure commitments and, together with our customers and suppliers, looking at how we can contribute to more effectively managing the challenges of climate change. An important focus of the Board is the safety of our people and the communities we work in. I am pleased to see a year-on-year improvement in safety targets and Zero Harm continues to be the number one value and priority across the Company. Turning to my fellow Board members, I note that Kathryn Fagg AO will be leaving her position on December 20. Kathryn has been an extremely valuable Board member over the past five years, and we wish her the very best for the future. I’m delighted that Xiaoling Liu and Gregory Robinson have agreed to join the Board as new non- executive Directors. Both Xiaoling and Greg bring to our Company extensive operational expertise, global perspectives and senior executive experience. The work of our Company is undertaken by many dedicated people across our global operations and I want to say thank you for staying safe and focusing on delivering for our customers. In particular, I would like to thank Managing Director & CEO Jeanne Johns and the Executive Team for their leadership in 2019. Whilst this year has seen its challenges, the Board is optimistic for the future and confident your Company is in a good position going into FY20. Managing Director & CEO’s Report We will continue our relentless efforts to embed Zero Harm as the number one value and priority right across our global business. Jeanne Johns Managing Director & CEO The growth in our premium technology offering is underpinned by the accelerating adoption of electronics and delivery systems by the mining industry which is improving safety, environmental impact and productivity at their mine sites. FY19 has been a challenging year for our business, due to non-recurring events, a number of which were beyond our control. The main adverse impact was the one in one-hundred-year flood in North Queensland, preventing the third-party rail operator from servicing our Phosphate Hill facility, resulting in a three-month shutdown. We also experienced unusual outages in our Waggaman and Phosphate Hill plants. This resulted in our FY19 EBIT result, excluding IMIs, of $303.7m, after $197m of non-recurring items, compared to $556.7m in FY18. The safety of our people and communities we work in is our number one value. While we have seen improvements in our safety measures, a tragic accident late last year has provided a stark reminder of the importance of embedding Zero Harm in everything we do. The accident in the US involved one of our Dyno Nobel vehicles on a public road and tragically, two passengers in another vehicle died. We were all deeply saddened by the event and the impact on the family and local community. It continues to emphasise the importance of Zero Harm being our number one value and priority right across our global business. In FY18 we set a goal for a step change in our workforce Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) to achieve a 30% reduction by FY21. That focus drove a 15% reduction in this important safety metric during FY19, putting us well on track to reach our goal. Zero Harm, of course, includes our impact on the environment, where societal expectations continue to grow, as do ours. We know we can do better and moving into FY20, we will further increase our focus on minimising the impact of our operations on the environment. The fundamentals of our business remain strong and we have made progress on our strategic agenda during the past year. Our manufacturing excellence strategy has been designed to deliver top quartile reliability performance and we are well underway in implementing it, with an anticipated $40 to $50 million earnings uplift by FY22. Securing a new gas supply contract through to 2022 for Gibson Island was a key achievement during the year, providing certainty to our operations and valued employees. The growth in our premium technology offering is underpinned by the accelerating adoption of electronics and delivery systems by the mining industry which is improving safety, environmental impact and productivity at their mine sites. Our world-class technology platform has been deliberately designed to be adaptable across a range of mining sectors and environments and easy for our mining customers to adopt in their operations. We have also progressed our sustainability agenda which is now formally integrated into our strategic drivers, in line with Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) standards. Reducing the impact on the environment is clearly hugely important to our mining customers and our technology is playing a critical role to assist, along with helping achieve safety and productivity improvements. Going forward into FY20, we will continue to identify opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint across the business. We have initiated a strategic review of our Fertilisers business which will be a key focus through FY20. With a clear business strategy, we will look at the best way for this business to reach its potential, with three potential outcomes – a sale, demerger or retain and invest in the business. I would be remiss if I did not thank our former Chairman Mr Paul Brasher, whose support since I took on the role has been invaluable, along with his wise counsel and generosity. Paul served the Company for almost a decade as a Director and then Chairman, and I know I speak for the whole organisation when we thank him for his dedication and service to the Company and wish him all the best for his future. I would like to officially welcome our new Chairman Brian Kruger, who comes to the role following two years as a Board member. He brings stability and invaluable expertise, with his significant background in the industrial and mining sectors and I look forward to working with him to deliver for our shareholders. Most importantly, I would like to thank our team around the world for their hard work throughout the year. Their dedication and focus on delivering for our customers has been key in retaining a strong underlying business. They have also put in place the strategies, actions, and plans for a much improved FY20. I would also like to thank our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders who have supported our business during the year and look forward to your continued support in FY20.

Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 11 Sustainability Approach Sustainability Strategy Our Company Purpose and Strategic Drivers (pages 4 and 5) guide our approach to sustainability. IPL is committed to operating in a manner which acknowledges and proactively manages those issues which are most material to the long-term sustainability of its businesses, the environment and the communities in which it operates. This commitment is driven by IPL’s Company Values (page 4). IPL defines sustainability as ‘the creation of long-term economic value whilst caring for our people, our communities and our environment’. Since its initial approval by the Board, IPL’s Sustainability Strategy has undergone review, and now includes the sustainable development of the Company’s supply chain. We challenge and improve the status quo through a culture that fosters productivity and efficiency improvements and sustainability initiatives, while prioritising IPL’s Company Value of Zero Harm for Everyone, Everywhere. Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) is widely recognised as the leading reference point in the growing field of sustainability investing due to the robustness of its assessment process. Since 2010 IPL has been included in the DJSI where performance is benchmarked against peers in the global Chemicals sector. The results since 2015 are represented below. Dimension Economic Environmental Social Total for IPL Chemicals sector average 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 67 51 63 60 58 74 60 65 67 56 73 61 68 68 53 71 64 57 65 44 72 73 60 69 47 In 2019, the FTSE Group also confirmed for the sixth year that IPL has satisfied the requirements to remain a constituent of the FTSE4Good Index Series. About this report Since 2014, sustainability performance data has been included in IPL’s Annual Report, providing a summary account of IPL’s economic and environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance in one document. Further information on IPL’s ESG considerations that are material to the sustainability of the Company can be found in the detailed 2019 IPL Sustainability Report, which will be published on IPL’s website (www.incitecpivot.com.au) in March 2020. In order to determine the most important topics for sustainability reporting, a materiality review is conducted in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. Further information on stakeholder engagement and the materiality process will be contained in the online Sustainability Report. Workplace health and safety IPL’s Zero Harm strategy drives the success of the Company. The Company’s ambition to achieve industry leading performance in occupational health, safety, process safety and the environment, is supported by IPL’s integrated Health, Safety, Environment and Community Management System (HSECMS) which provides the foundation for effective identification and management of Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) risks. In the 2019 financial year, IPL achieved a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR)(1) of 0.80, representing a 14% year-on- year improvement, showing strong progress toward our 2021 target of 0.70. However, a tragic double fatality on a public road in the US which involved a Dyno Nobel vehicle is a stark reminder of the vital importance of our relentless drive towards Zero Harm. TRIFR FY21 Target 0.70 0.82 0.95 0.94 0.80 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 FY16 FY17 FY18 FY19 Consistent with our commitment to continuous improvement in HSE performance across the Group, the following Zero Harm targets remain a focus: • 30% improvement in TRIFR by 2021 (against the mid-2018 TRIFR of 1.02); • Sustainable year-on-year reduction in Potential High Severity Incidents(2); • Year-on-year reduction in Tier 1 and Tier 2 Process Safety Incidents(3); and • Zero Significant Environmental Incidents(4).

Managing environmental impacts As a global manufacturer of industrial explosives, industrial chemicals and fertilisers, IPL’s operations have the potential to impact the environment through emissions to air and the contamination of soil and water. IPL is committed to continuously improving the management processes and systems in place to make its operations and products more sustainable. Performance highlights during 2019 include: • • Increased operational control of product and a reduction in environmental risks associated with product tracking and spills across our fertiliser distribution centres. In recognition of this work, our Fertilisers (IPF) business was awarded the 2019 Fertiliser Australia Platypus Award for improved environmental performance. In Australia, completion of the Pinkenba site environmental remediation program, along with the Moranbah Water Management Project, including the installation of an evaporator system to more comprehensively manage evaporation pond levels and avoid overflows. • Rollout of online Environmental Licence Compliance and Environmental Awareness training modules for the businesses. During 2020, our focus is to improve environmental compliance through comprehensive training, effective use of automation, and improved assessment and mitigation of environmental risks, with particular focus on storm water management and air releases. Further detail on environmental compliance, including fines, can be found in the Directors’ Report. Energy, emissions and water The manufacture of nitrogen-based products is energy intensive because it requires natural gas as both an energy source and a raw material. Because carbon dioxide is liberated from natural gas during the manufacturing process, in Australia, IPL is a large emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) as defined by the Australian National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System. Nitrogen oxide (NOx) and nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent GHG, are also released during the making of nitric acid. IPL has a strong focus on both abatement technologies and progressively increasing resource efficiencies to reduce its impacts on the environment, including GHG emissions which contribute to climate change. Cooling water is also a key necessity for manufacturing. In addition to IPL’s comprehensive annual risk management process, the World Resources Institute Aqueduct Water Tool is completed each year for long term projections and reviewed by the Chief Risk Officer. While the majority of IPL’s major manufacturing plants are located in regions with plentiful natural supplies of water, several smaller sites in Australia have been identified by the Water Tool as being located in areas which may experience water stress by 2025. In North America, water resources are of particular concern at Cheyenne, Wyoming. IPL engages with key stakeholders, including the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office, which manages stakeholder access to the local groundwater aquifer. In other regions, where there is higher rainfall, IPL recognises that water management is also important. Performance Energy and emissions IPL used 60,553,895 gigajoules (GJ) of energy over the past year (2018: 68,500,621), of which 2,034,762 was electricity (2018: 2,113,300). The decrease in energy use was mostly due to decreased production, and therefore gas use, at our Phosphate Hill and Waggaman, Louisiana ammonia plants. The absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from IPL’s global operations decreased to 3.5 million tonnes (2018: 3.8 million tonnes). While a portion of this decrease was due to decreased production, an unexpected maintenance issue at IPL’s nitric acid plant at Moranbah in Australia late in the 2018 financial year resulted in an unexpected increase in emissions of N2O (a GHG) at the site. To address this, IPL invested $4 million in the fabrication and installation of new equipment and $1.8 million in GHG abatement catalyst replacement during the 2019 financial year. This will contribute to a target of 0.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per tonne of nitric acid produced by 2020, which is a 4% reduction in GHG emissions intensity against 2018 emissions and a 7% reduction against our 2015 baseline. Energy Sources in 2019 Natural gas 94.5% Natural gas: 94.5% Electricity: 3.6% Diesel, raw material: 1.0% Diesel: 0.6% – Electricity from chemical heat: 0.3% – Petroleum: 0.02% – Propane: 0.006% – Fuel Oil: 0.0002% In line with the sustainability strategy to use less and care for the environment, which is integrated into the Manufacturing Excellence Strategy, our manufacturing plants continued to reduce both energy intensity and CO2e through energy efficiency initiatives. Collectively, a range of projects contributed to the maintenance of targeted global reductions in GHG emissions per tonne of ammonia produced in 2019 against a 2015 baseline. These include the following: • A boiler replacement at the Donora, Pennsylvania site is expected to reduce gas consumption by 91,683 GJ per year and save $410,000 annually. This project will also reduce water and electricity consumption. • Process optimisation at our Cheyenne, Wyoming ammonia and nitric acid plants allowed purge gas from the ammonia plant to be reused in the nitric acid plant, reducing natural gas use by 26,825 GJ and GHG emissions by 1,377 tCO2e annually. • At Moranbah, Queensland a project to preheat deaerator feedwater with process heat currently lost to the atmosphere saved 196,000 GJ of natural gas, reduced GHG emissions by 10,000 tCO2e and saved over $1,000,000 in 2019. • Air compressor replacements at Carthage in Missouri, Simsbury in Connecticut, and Geelong, Phosphate Hill and Moranbah in Australia will reduce energy use by 1,313,375 kWh and GHG emissions by 7,000 tCO2e each year. • During 2019, IPL’s Waggaman, Louisiana ammonia plant captured 78,306 tCO2e for use by a neighbouring melamine manufacturing plant, avoiding the release of these GHG emissions to air.

During 2019, the Selective Catalytic Reduction unit at the Louisiana, Missouri nitric acid plant reduced potential emissions of NOx by 90%. In Australia, the more efficient $1,480,000 sulphur oxide (SOx) reduction catalyst used in recent years at Mt Isa, Queensland reduced 2019 SOx emissions by 24% against a 2016 baseline. Water use and discharge 3.0 3.0 IPL’s gross water use during the year was 45,501 mega litres, a 10% decrease from 2018. This decrease is mostly related to decreased production, and therefore cooling water, at our Phosphate Hill, Queensland and Waggaman, Louisiana ammonia plants. Opportunities for reducing water use in manufacturing are continuously being sought. At Cheyenne, Wyoming, continued use of reverse osmosis units recycled a total of 74,188 kL of water for reuse during 2019. At Phosphate Hill, Queensland, 88,810 kL of water was recovered from waste gypsum stockpiles, also recovering valuable phosphates for fertiliser production. During 2019, water balance projects were completed at three major Australian manufacturing sites in Geelong, Gibson Island and Moranbah and the installation of a new feedwater system has begun at Carthage, Missouri, with completion planned for early 2020. This project will result in an estimated water usage reduction of 40,000 kL per year, approximately 5% of the site’s total usage. 1.5 1.5 2.0 2.0 2.5 2.5 Managing impacts of climate change IPL’s main manufacturing process currently relies on sustainable access to natural gas and water and is GHG emissions intensive. In addition, farming and mining customers (and therefore IPL’s markets) can be impacted by extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, hurricanes and tropical cyclones, as can its own manufacturing facilities. For these reasons, the risks associated with emissions, access to natural gas and water, and the physical impacts of extreme weather events have been integrated into IPL’s existing risk management processes and corporate strategy for many years, with geographical and market diversification remaining a key management strategy. In 2018, a comprehensive assessment of IPL’s physical and transitional (market-based) risks and opportunities associated with climate change was conducted using two future climate-related scenarios: a 2-degree scenario and a 4-degree scenario. During 2019, the Company continued its alignment with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) through several key actions relating to governance, strategy and risk management, including: • • IPL’s Climate Change Policy was developed by the Executive Team and approved by the Board. The policy states IPL’s commitment to managing climate related issues and describes how the Group’s Strategic Drivers are being leveraged to meet the challenges of climate change. IPL’s Board Charter and its Audit and Risk Committee Charter were updated to formally and specifically assign oversight of the Climate Change Policy and climate change-related risks and opportunities to IPL’s Directors. • Commencement of a $2.7 million feasibility study, supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, to assess the potential to use renewable hydrogen to increase ammonia production at our manufacturing facility at Moranbah, Queensland. • Work has progressed during 2019 on the integration of identified climate change related financial risks into IPL’s risk management processes. This has been progressed using ‘bowtie analysis’ to identify risk controls and risk control owners for the material risks identified in 2018 using 2-degree and 4-degree future climate related scenarios. Climate related financial risks which are considered to be material are reported in the Principal Risks section of the Operating and Financial Review. For more detailed reporting on climate change related risks and opportunities, and the governance of these at IPL, see the online 2019 IPL Sustainability Report. During 2019, IPL discharged 30,447,587 m3 of water to the environment. The majority of this water (98.7%) was clean cooling water that was discharged to the rivers from which it was taken, reducing IPL’s net water use to 15,449 mega litres. 45,501 ML Surface water: 75% Ground water: 15.6% Municipal water: 8.1% Recycled water: 1.5% Storm water: 0.2% Desal water: 0.005% Rain water: 0.00003% Water Use by Source Water Discharge by Destination 45,501 ML Surface water: 75% Ground water: 15.6% Municipal water: 8.1% Recycled water: 1.5% Storm water: 0.2% Desal water: 0.005% Rain water: 0.00003% Clean water to surface waters 98.7% clean water to surface waters Surface waters: 98.7% Groundwater: 1.3% Sewers: 0.001% 14 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Clean water to surface waters 98.7% clean water to surface waters Surface waters: 98.7% Groundwater: 1.3% Sewers: 0.001% 4.0 4.0 3.5 3.5 3.0 3.0 2.5 2.5 2.0 2.0 1.5 1.5 1.0 1.0 0.5 0.5 0.0 0.0 Managing, engaging and ensuring a diverse workforce Our People Strategy is focused on developing a diverse and inclusive business with the right people in the right roles, who are inspired and engaged. IPL remains committed to expanding the diversity of its workforce and has a stretch target to increase gender diversity by 10% year-on-year to reach 25% by 2022. 2019 key highlights include: • IPL’s ‘One IPL’ Leadership Framework was launched, giving our global leadership the tools to develop and inspire our employees to create value. • The inaugural One IPL Leadership Forum was held in Melbourne. Bringing the company’s global leaders together as a collective leadership group to build a sense of community, the forum was designed to align our global leaders to our Company Strategy and the drivers that underpin it. • Using last year’s ‘Your Voice’ employee survey results as a benchmark, the 2019 global survey was undertaken and showed a meaningful improvement in employee engagement. • Selection for inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the second year in a row. • Achievement of a 3% target of Indigenous employees across IPL’s Australian businesses, and an increase in female participation in the global IPL workforce, including a 4% increase in women in Senior Management. Further details on IPL’s diversity strategy can be found in IPL’s 2019 Corporate Governance Statement. Product quality IPL is committed to providing quality products and services to the explosives, industrial chemicals and fertilisers sectors. IPL is a global provider of innovative explosives products, services and solutions under the market leading Dyno Nobel brand. Product quality is being continuously improved by the detection, analysis and correction of trends during processing to enhance quality and performance. This is supported by a working partnership between IPL’s explosives research and development laboratories and its manufacturing plants, further improving operating procedures across both explosives and fertiliser products, particularly where product analysis is required. IPL’s Fertiliser Quality Policy, through its Incitec Pivot Fertiliser business, outlines its commitment to providing products and services that meet customers’ needs. Fertiliser manufacturing is monitored by IPL’s own Quality Control Laboratories and all product imports are sourced in compliance with the Fertiliser Australia National Code of Practice for Fertiliser Description and Labelling. Certificates of Analysis are sought from suppliers to ensure they are within set product specifications that meet statutory limits and market needs. During 2019, the IPF Quality Assurance Council continued to drive improvement through the extension of IPL’s manufacturing quality standards to the fertiliser distribution business, resulting in a 15% reduction in customer complaints, a 12% reduction in product handling losses and a 7% reduction in costs associated with treating dusty products. Sustainable products and services IPL aims to assess and, where feasible, improve the environmental and social impacts of all products across their life cycle and to work with customers to encourage them to use these products to achieve the best sustainability outcomes. Phosphate rock sourcing Phosphate rock, a naturally occurring mineral rock, is used in the production of both Single Super Phosphate (SSP) and Ammonium Phosphate (AP) fertilisers. APs are produced at Phosphate Hill, Queensland, using phosphate rock from the mine adjacent to that plant. At the Geelong and Portland (through to its closure during 2019) plants in Victoria, SSP was manufactured using a blend of imported phosphate rock. The composition of phosphate rock varies according to the place of origin and has varying levels of phosphorus, cadmium, odour and reactivity which must be balanced to produce a product that meets with Australian regulations. IPL purchases phosphate rock from several countries, after undertaking a detailed review of each supply source having regard to social, environmental and economic factors. During 2019, rock was purchased from Togo, Vietnam and China. Further information on phosphate sourcing is available on the IPL website. Supplier engagement IPL has procedures to assess potential and current suppliers to ensure sustainability risks are well understood and addressed. Potential suppliers are assessed using a questionnaire that covers environment, social and governance aspects and our regional Procurement Teams have processes in place to work with suppliers on gap-closing action plans where required. Contracts between IPL and major materials suppliers also contain requirements that are consistent with IPL’s expectations of suppliers’ workplace health, safety and environmental performance. During 2019, the IPL Supplier Code of Conduct was developed, and work has continued to identify areas for improvement which align with current progress. Several partnerships with suppliers were continued to reduce impacts within our supply chain. These included using the RightShip Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Rating tool to minimise the emissions associated with our global shipping contractors and working with suppliers, customers and industry bodies to collect and recycle our fertiliser packaging through the Farm Waste Recovery initiative. Customer engagement Two of the company’s Strategic Drivers are focussed on strengthening customer partnerships and developing innovative technology solutions to help customers improve their operations. Through its businesses, IPL engages directly with both fertiliser and explosives customers to provide innovative products and services that can be used to improve their profitability, safety and environmental performance. Engagement with fertiliser customers includes collaborative tailoring of product use via our Nutrient Advantage laboratory, which conducts soil and plant testing, as well as through Nutrient Advantage Pro interactive software and our online Agronomy Community. IPL’s explosives business continues to work closely with our mining, quarry and construction customers at their sites to deliver high-performance solutions tailored to their needs. The business participates in specialist customer sustainability questionnaires, holds customer focused technical workshops and has dedicated Customer Relationship Managers. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 15 Sustainability During 2019, a popular methodology for summarising customer satisfaction was extended from our Australian fertiliser and industrial chemicals customers to our Australian explosives’ customers, allowing increased tracking of customer sentiment and the strategic targeting of areas for improvement. Research and development Collaborative research and product development is a key part of IPL’s Technology and Innovation Strategy and aims to advance our ability to partner with customers to improve their productivity, safety and environmental performance. Highlights during the year included: • The completion of a joint research project with the University of Melbourne into new fertiliser technologies for sustainable food security, which has resulted in the development and testing of prototype products; • Development of a new patented ammonium phosphate enhanced efficiency fertiliser, eNpower, and continued promotion of IPL’s enhanced efficiency fertilisers, Entec and Green Urea. These products minimise nitrogen losses to waterways and to the atmosphere as GHG; • Continued development and marketing of explosive products and delivery systems that reduce blast fume emissions and minimise groundwater nitrate leaching, including a joint research project with Murdoch University; • Continued testing of recycled, reclaimed and treated oils, hydrocarbons and waxes to supplement the use of virgin fuel sources in emulsion-based explosives, as well as oxidiser (an ingredient of explosives) sourced from internal and customer waste streams; • Continued collaboration with customers and research institutions to further develop inhibited emulsion explosives for safer blasting in extreme (hot and reactive) geothermal environments; • The continued successful rollout of Differential Energy technology to the Australian explosives market. This product continues to result in reduced NOx emissions, reduced energy use and GHG, less noise and ground vibration and increased productivity for customers. Governance and ethical conduct IPL’s Board of Directors is responsible for charting IPL’s direction, policies, strategies and financial objectives. The Board serves the interests of IPL and its shareholders, having regard to other stakeholders, including employees, customers, creditors and the community, in a manner designed to create and continue to build sustainable value. The Board Charter, Code of Conduct and key policies and systems which define IPL business practices are available on IPL’s website. During 2019, the IPL Modern Slavery Project Team was formed to manage the requirements associated with the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) which came into effect in January 2019. In addition to inclusions in the IPL Supplier Code of Conduct, the IPL Modern Slavery Policy is being developed along with a set of tools and procedures to enable the identification and mitigation of any risks associated with human rights in the IPL supply chain, and to ensure due diligence in IPL’s own operations. In addition, as reported under Managing Impacts of Climate Change, the IPL Climate Change Policy was adopted by the Board, and the IPL Board Charter and Charter of the Audit and Risk Management Committee were updated to formally enshrine Directors’ roles in relation to the strategic management and oversight of climate change-related issues. Further information on corporate governance, including risk oversight and management, can be found in the 2019 Corporate Governance Statement. Caring for the community The Sustainable Communities policy defines IPL’s approach to community relations and community investment, and ensures that engagement decisions are made locally, at the site level, where community needs are best understood. During 2019, $885,541 of community investment was made globally through IPL’s Dollar-for-Dollar program, the Australian Workplace Giving program and various site-based initiatives. This is an increase of more than 80% on last year’s community contribution, and included $100,000 in emergency aid for those affected by the Queensland floods and $142,000 of fertiliser donated for auction to assist drought affected farmers. Due to the nature of the business, some IPL sites are located in areas where the materials handled have the potential to impact on the communities in which they operate. IPL has measures in place to monitor, manage and prevent potential negative impacts on local communities which could arise. In addition, many sites are required by law to communicate regularly with the community regarding community safety plans and emergency procedures which should be followed to keep them safe in the unlikely event of a potential incident. In North America, 53% of IPL’s sites fall into this category. These sites engage with communities and emergency first responders, with many actively participating in Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) as part of the Community Right to Know Act. In the Asia Pacific region, 21% of sites have been identified, and these follow Safe Work Australia guidelines in communicating with their communities. In addition, the IPL Issues Response Manual assists crisis management teams to effectively manage communication and engagement in the event of an incident. 16 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Operating and Financial Review Group Financial Performance Cash Flow IPL reported Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $152.4m compared to $207.9m in 2018 (or compared to $347.4m in 2018 excluding Individually Material Items (ex IMIs)). IPL’s 2019 NPAT was impacted by $140.0m of non-recurring items. Financial Performance The Group reported 2019 Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) of $303.7m, after $197.0m of non-recurring items.

EBIT from the DNA business of $234.0m (US$163.5m) decreased by $44.6m, or 16 percent compared to 2018. The result was mainly due to the adverse impact from Waggaman plant outages in 2019; higher gas cost due to a third-party supply interruption; and the impact of lower ammonia prices on Waggaman operations earnings. This was partially offset by earnings growth in the Explosives business in 2019; the sale of excess land in the US; and translation benefits from the lower A$:US$ foreign exchange rate. DNAP earnings of $179.2m decreased by $26.2m, or 13 percent as compared to 2018, mainly driven by the impact of customer contract re-basing in 2019; and lower International business earnings. This was partially offset by higher sales volumes in the Australian business, in particular to Iron Ore customers in Western Australia. Fertilisers earnings loss of $79.7m represents a decrease in EBIT of $184.3m as compared to 2018. This result was mainly due to the adverse impact from the Queensland rail outage; the Phosphate Hill plant outage in relation to the reactor failure; costs in relation to the Portland Single Super Phosphates (SSP) plant closure; the impact of severe drought in key planting areas; and higher natural gas prices on the Australian East Coast. This was partially offset by the impact from the lower A$:US$ foreign exchange rate; and value chain optimisation benefits. A detailed analysis of the performance of each business and respective outlook is provided on the following pages. Operating cash inflows decreased $247.9m as compared to 2018. This decrease is largely attributable to a $245.7m, or 29 percent decrease in EBITDA ex IMIs, mainly due to the adverse impact from non-recurring items in 2019; and the combined impact from drought conditions and higher gas prices in Australia. Investing cash outflows increased $17.6m mainly driven by lease buy-outs at term expiry in 2019; offset in part by lower sustenance spending as a result of lower major turnaround activity in 2019. Financing cash outflows decreased $288.5m to $93.9m mainly due to reduced spend on the repurchase of IPL shares under the $300m share buyback program completed in 2019; and lower dividend payments in 2019 as a result of lower profits. Financial Position IPL’s Balance Sheet remains sound, reflecting the Group’s ongoing commitment to financial discipline and effective cash management. As at 30 September 2019, IPL had Net Debt(2) of $1,691.4m and Net debt/EBITDA(4) of 2.8x.

Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 17 Operating and Financial Review Significant movements in the Group’s Balance Sheet during the year include: • Trade Working Capital (TWC) increased by $55.9m mainly due to higher stock balances as a result of lower demand for fertilisers due to drought conditions in some areas; and the timing of shipments at year end. • Net Property, Plant & Equipment (PP&E) increased by $185.7m mainly due to sustenance capital expenditure of $262.0m; the impact of foreign currency translation of non- A$ denominated assets of $125.7m; additions to minor growth projects of $49.5m; and lease buy-outs of $46.6m. This was partly offset by the depreciation charge for the year of $277.9m and asset disposals with a carrying value of $13.1m. • Intangible Assets increased by $132.9m mainly as a result of the impact of foreign currency translation of non-A$ denominated assets of $125.4m; and $22.7m in relation to the capitalisation of completed digital technology and product delivery solutions and investment in new technologies. This was partially offset by the amortisation charge of $23.7m for the year. • Tax Liabilities decreased by $25.6m mainly due to tax payments of $20.8m; and the tax effect on movements in the market value of derivative hedging balances of $14.4m and Retirement Benefit Obligations of $10.2m. This was offset in part by tax on earnings of $7.5m; and the impact of foreign currency translation of $14.0m. • Net Other Liabilities increased by $123.1m mainly due to market value movements and maturities of derivative hedging instruments (excluding debt hedges) of $53.0m; an increase in the Group’s Retirement Benefit Obligation of $34.6m, as a result of lower discount rates and the impact of the lower A$:US$ exchange rate on translation of US$ obligations; and movements in capital and other accruals. • Net Debt increased by $319.8m to $1,691.4m mainly due to lower operating cash flows of $247.9m; and the impact of the lower A$:US$ exchange rate on foreign currency debt balances and maturing debt hedges during the year. Debt Funding Maturing Facilities The Company’s A$200m Medium Term Notes, issued in the Australian debt capital market, matured in February 2019. The US$800m (A$1,183.2m) 10-year bond on issue in the US144A debt capital market will mature in December 2019. Refinancing As part of the Company’s refinancing program for maturing borrowings, the following refinancing was completed during the year: • HK$560m (A$105.6m) 7-year bond under the Company’s Euro Medium Term Note program, maturing in February 2026. • A$450m 7-year bond in the Australian debt capital market, maturing in March 2026. 18 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 • US$500m Notes in the US Private Placement capital market, with US$250m maturing in October 2028 and US$250m maturing in October 2030. The Notes were funded in October 2019. The Group’s current refinancing program was completed during the year, delivering increased average debt tenor; better diversity of funding sources; and lower credit margins. The Group’s average tenor of its drawn interest-bearing facilities at 30 September 2019 was 3.4 years. On a pro-forma basis, the Group’s average tenor of its debt facilities was 5.7 years at 30 September 2019, after taking into account the funding of the US$500m Notes in the US Private Placement market along with the cancellation of the 1.5-year US$350m bridge facility that occurred in October 2019; and the anticipated maturity of the US$800m bond in December 2019.

Net Debt Hedging The fair value of net debt hedges at 30 September 2019 was an asset of $388.6m (2018: $414.7m). Most of these hedges will mature in December 2022. Trade Working Capital Facilities IPL use TWC facilities to effectively manage the Group’s cash flows, which are impacted by seasonality and demand and supply variability. The Group has a non-recourse receivable purchasing agreement to sell certain domestic and international receivables to an unrelated entity in exchange for cash. As at 30 September 2019, receivables totalling $216.3m (2018: $188.0m) had been sold under the receivable purchasing agreement. IPL also offers suppliers the opportunity to use supply chain financing. The Group evaluates supplier arrangements against several indicators to assess whether to classify outstanding amounts as payables or borrowings. The balance of the supply chain finance program, classified as payables, at 30 September 2019 was $306.5m (2018: $316.4m). Capital Allocation IPL’s capital allocation process is centralised and overseen by the Group’s Corporate Finance function. Capital is invested on a prioritised basis and all submissions are assessed against IPL’s risk, HSE, financial, strategic and corporate governance criteria. Capital is broadly categorised into major growth capital, minor growth capital and sustenance capital. The table below includes a summary of cash spend on growth, sustenance and lease buy-out of Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible assets: IPL GROUP Capital Expenditure DNA DNAP Fertilisers Minor growth capital DNA DNAP Fertilisers Sustenance Fertilisers Lease buy-out Total Year Ended 30 September FY19 A$m FY18 Change A$m A$m 30.7 21.9 2.6 55.2 73.0 27.5 17.0 10.6 37.0 64.6 74.5 14.4 145.8 164.9 13.7 11.3 (34.4) (9.4) (1.5) 13.1 (19.1) 246.3 253.8 (7.5) 46.6 46.6 6.9 6.9 39.7 39.7 348.1 325.3 22.8 There was no major growth capital spend in 2019. Minor growth spend of $55.2m in 2019 included plant efficiency projects; the construction of a mobile emulsion plant in Chile; and other projects supporting Explosives volume growth and technology investment. Sustenance capital spend in 2019 was $246.3m. Significant spend items included: construction of the gypsum cell at Phosphate Hill, Gibson Island 2019 turnaround spend, and planning spend on the Waggaman turnaround scheduled for October 2020. Shareholder Returns and Dividends Earnings per share (EPS) ex IMIs of 9.5 cents per share decreased by 11.4 cents per share compared to 2018 ex IMIs of 20.9 cents. The Company completed the outstanding $89.7m of the $300m share buy-back program in December 2018. Under the program, the Company bought back and cancelled 81.4 million ordinary shares at an average price of $3.69 per share. In November 2019, the Directors of IPL determined to pay a 30 percent franked final dividend of 3.4 cents per share on 8 January 2020. This brings total dividends paid with respect to the 2019 financial year to 4.7 cents per share. This represents a payout ratio of approximately 50 percent for the 2019 financial year.

Current year earnings include non-recurring items amounting to US$36.0m which was a major driver of the lower earnings compared to 2018. Non-recurring items included the US$32.0m impact from the unplanned outage at Waggaman; and the US$12.0m impact in Ag & IC from significantly higher gas cost at St Helens. This was partially offset by the US$8.0m of one-off profit from sale of excess land in the US, which is shown separately, as Other EBIT. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 19 Operating and Financial Review Explosives Waggaman Operations Dyno Nobel is the second largest industrial explosives distributor in North America by volume. It provides ammonium nitrate, initiating systems and services to the Quarry & Construction sector primarily in the Southern US, Northeast US and Canada; the Coal sector in the Powder River Basin, Illinois Basin and Appalachia, and to the Base & Precious Metals sector in the US mid-West, US West and Canada. The Dyno Nobel Americas business manufactures and distributes ammonia at its Waggaman, Louisiana plant in the United States. Ammonia produced at Waggaman is used in the manufacturing process at Dyno Nobel’s Louisiana, Missouri and Cheyenne, Wyoming plants, and sold to third parties under long term contractual arrangements.

Waggaman earnings for 2019 of US$19.2m decreased from US$76.2m in 2018. The decrease in earnings was mainly due to the impact of manufacturing outages, as detailed below, and lower ammonia prices compared to 2018. Despite the impact from Coal industry declines; prolonged wet weather conditions; and flooding in the US mid-west, 2019 earnings from the Explosives business increased US$5.9m, or 5 percent as compared to 2018. Increased earnings were primarily due to higher sales volumes, underpinned by growth in customer demand (in particular Quarry & Construction sector); and delivery of operational costs savings and supply chain efficiency gains during the year. Quarry & Construction 40 percent of Explosives revenue was generated from the Quarry & Construction sector in 2019. Volumes were up 5 percent as compared to 2018 despite flooding and wet weather impacting Quarry & Construction activity (and demand) in key regions. Base & Precious Metals 33 percent of Explosives revenue was generated from the Base & Precious Metals sector in 2019. Volumes were up 3 percent as compared to 2018, in line with industry growth rates. As anticipated, demand timing was skewed to the second half, following the slow start (due to wet weather) to the year. Coal 27 percent of Explosives revenue was generated by the sector in 2019. Volumes were down 4 percent compared to 2018, impacted by significant flooding in the US mid-West and the underlying structural decline of the US Coal Industry. Market share gains from the first half of 2019 somewhat offset the impact from industry headwinds during the year, with industry volumes down approximately 8 percent as compared to 2018. Manufacturing – non-recurring item The impact from the unplanned manufacturing outage at Waggaman amounted to US$32.0m in 2019. The outage was initiated by an external power supply failure and resulted in substantial repairs to be completed on the plant’s CO2 recovery system. Manufacturing – reliability The plant also experienced reliability issues in 2019, with an adverse impact of US$15.0m from plant restart issues and controls systems and instrumentation related outages. Agriculture & Industrial Chemicals The Dyno Nobel Americas business manufactures and distributes nitrogen-based fertilisers in the United States primarily from its St Helens, Oregon plant. Nitrogen based fertilisers and other industrial chemical products are also produced as a by-product at the Louisiana, Missouri and Cheyenne, Wyoming plants.

The decrease was largely due to the adverse US$12.0m impact from a gas market disruption in 2019. This external non-recurring event was the result of a third-party gas supply interruption, resulting in significantly higher gas cost at Dyno Nobel’s St Helens plant. The impact from higher gas cost was however partially offset by the absence of the 2018 St Helens plant turnaround; and the benefits from higher fertilisers prices and increased sales volumes compared to 2018. 20 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Manufacturing – Dyno Nobel Americas Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific In North America, Dyno Nobel manufactures ammonium nitrate at its Cheyenne, Wyoming and Louisiana, Missouri plants. The Cheyenne, Wyoming plant is adjacent to the Powder River Basin, North America’s most competitive thermal coal mining region. The Louisiana, Missouri plant has a competitive logistic footprint from which to support mining in both the Illinois Basin and Appalachia. DNA 39% Initiating systems are manufactured at Dyno Nobel’s facilities in Connecticut, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Chile and Mexico, and are also sourced from DetNet South Africa (Pty) Ltd (DetNet), an IPL electronics joint venture. As noted above, the business also produces nitrogen-based fertilisers and industrial chemicals across four locations, that are delivered to its end markets via an integrated supply chain. Manufacturing performance in the Dyno Nobel Americas business in 2019 was as follows: Waggaman, Louisiana – the plant operated at 87 percent of nameplate capacity during the second half of 2019 (72 percent in the first half) and produced 634.4k metric tonnes of ammonia in 2019. The plant experienced controls systems and instrumentation reliability issues in the second half that resulted in additional unplanned downtime. All known controls systems and instrumentation issues have now been resolved, with the Group’s new manufacturing strategy focussed on eliminating these single point of failure vulnerabilities. Following the last unplanned outage in July, the Waggaman plant has recorded its second longest production run (since commissioning in 2016). Planning for the plant’s major turnaround in October 2020 is progressing to plan. Cheyenne, Wyoming – the plant complex operated reliably and consistently during 2019. Ammonia production increased 8 percent compared to 2018, absent the 2017/2018 turnaround. Louisiana, Missouri – Nitric Acid production from the Louisiana, Missouri plant decreased 3 percent compared to 2018, largely due to the impact of flooding, and associated rail outages, in the US mid-West during 2019. St Helens, Oregon – 2019 Urea production at the plant was largely in line with 2018. The impact from third-party gas supply interruptions on plant operations in the first half of 2019 was largely offset by the absence of the 2018 turnaround and outages. Gas cost lowered during the second half of 2019 as Enbridge’s pipeline issues were resolved. 2019 Revenue Contribution(1) Fertilisers 36% DNAP 25% (1) Excludes elimination Through Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific, IPL provides ammonium nitrate based industrial explosives, initiating systems and services to the Coal and Base & Precious Metals sectors in Australia, and internationally to a number of countries including Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Turkey through its subsidiaries and joint ventures. Ammonium nitrate is often sold in conjunction with proprietary initiating systems and services. Dyno Nobel is the second largest industrial explosives distributor in Australia by volume, which in turn is the world’s third largest industrial explosives market. In Australia, Dyno Nobel primarily supplies its products to metallurgical coal mines in the east and to iron ore mines in the west.

The lower earnings were mainly the result of contract re-basing, decreased joint venture earnings, and equipment repair costs incurred at the Moranbah plant. This was partially offset by increased earnings from higher ammonium nitrate sales volumes and increased electronic initiating systems sales, primarily to Iron Ore customers in Western Australia. Australian Metallurgical Coal 48 percent of Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific revenue for the year was generated from the Australian Metallurgical Coal sector, most of which was in the Bowen Basin. Volumes from the Australian Metallurgical Coal sector decreased 7 percent compared to 2018, mainly driven by customer operational issues and weather events in Queensland during the first half of 2019; and lower second half contracted volumes, in line with business strategy to optimise sales of manufactured ammonium nitrate at Moranbah. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 21 Operating and Financial Review Base & Precious Metals 39 percent of Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific revenue was generated from the Base & Precious Metals sector, which comprises iron ore mines in Western Australia and hard rock and underground mines throughout Australia. Volumes from the sector increased 15 percent compared to 2018, driven by strong demand from iron ore customers in Western Australia in the second half of 2019.

Fertilisers Asia Pacific 2019 Revenue Contribution(1) Fertilisers 36% (1) Excludes elimination Volumes decreased 4 percent as compared to 2018, mainly driven by the significant slowdown in the Turkish business as a result of lower infrastructure spending; partially offset by strong volumes in Indonesia. IPL’s Fertilisers business in Australia, that consists of Incitec Pivot Fertilisers (IPF) and Southern Cross International (SCI), is the largest domestic manufacturer and supplier of fertilisers by volume. Manufacturing – Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific In Australia, Dyno Nobel manufactures ammonium nitrate at its Moranbah ammonium nitrate plant, which is located in the Bowen Basin, the world’s premier metallurgical coal region. It also sources third party ammonium nitrate from time to time. Moranbah delivered record production in the second half of 2019, with improved efficiency at the plant reducing the impact from equipment repairs and related costs in the first half of 2019. The plant produced 365.0k metric tonnes of ammonium nitrate in 2019, a slight decrease of 1.5 percent on 2018.

It also procures fertilisers from overseas manufacturers to meet domestic seasonal peaks. Much of this activity is conducted through Quantum Fertilisers Limited, a Hong Kong based subsidiary. The Fertilisers business manufactures the following fertilisers at three locations: • Phosphate Hill: Di/mono-ammonium phosphate (DAP/MAP); • Gibson Island: Ammonia (Big N), Granulated ammonium sulphate (GranAm) and Urea; and • Geelong: Single Super Phosphate (SSP). 1H 2H FERTILISERS ASIA PACIFIC Phosphate Hill Industrial & Trading Quantum Fertilisers SCI Revenue IPF Revenue Fertilisers Elimination Fertilisers Revenue SCI EBIT IPF EBIT Profit-in-stock elimination Fertilisers EBIT EBIT margin Year Ended 30 September FY19 A$m 366.6 125.1 4.3 496.0 1,066.7 (143.3) 1,419.4 (29.8) (51.9) 2.0 (79.7) (5.6%) FY18 A$m 480.0 111.2 13.8 605.0 1,088.4 (221.7) 1,471.7 69.1 37.7 (2.2) 104.6 7.1% Change % (23.6) 12.5 (68.8) (18.0) (2.0) na (3.6) (143.1) (237.7) na (176.2) Fertilisers reported an EBIT loss of $79.7m, compared to a profit of $104.6m in 2018, with the result significantly impacted by extreme weather events across Eastern Australia in 2019. Overall, Fertilisers sales volumes were 9 percent down in 2019 at 2.75 million metric tonnes (2018: 3.01 million metric tonnes), mainly as a result of lower customer demand due to drought conditions in key planting areas. The major movements in the 2019 earnings of Fertilisers were due to the following: Non-recurring items • $115.0m adverse impact from the Queensland rail outage due to the one in a 100-year flooding event that resulted in lost opportunity for sales of manufactured ammonium phosphates, and to a lesser extent damaged stocks and plant inefficiencies. • $20.0m adverse impact from the Phosphate Hill manufacturing outage as a result of the phosphoric acid reactor integrity failure in the first half of 2019. • $13.0m of cost relating to the permanent closure and decommissioning of the Portland SSP plant and consolidation of the SSP manufacturing into Geelong. Other • Prevailing drought conditions in Northern Victoria, New South Wales and Southern Queensland adversely impacted fertilisers sales volumes and mix, decreasing earnings by $33.6m compared to 2018. • Net increase in gas cost of $42.5m was mainly driven by higher contract prices in Gibson Island; partially offset by the lower gas cost to Phosphate Hill. • $9.5m decrease in Quantum Fertilisers performance was driven by lower trading activity during the year. • Net increase in earnings of $22.4m from major plant turnarounds as a result of the absence of the 2018 Phosphate Hill turnaround, partially offset by the Gibson Island turnaround in 2019. • $11.4m of benefits driven by value chain optimisation and improved stock position management. • Net benefit of $10.5m from the lower A$:US$ exchange rate and higher urea prices; partially offset by lower global ammonium phosphates prices compared to 2018. Manufacturing – Fertilisers Gibson Island – the plant produced 369.7k metric tonnes of urea equivalent product, down 24.4 percent on 2018. The lower production was a result of the planned outage at the start of 2019 to complete maintenance activities required to operate the plant to December 2019, when its current short- term gas supply agreement expires. A decision was made during the year to continue manufacturing operations at Gibson Island through to December 2022 following the successful negotiation of multiple arrangements affecting operations. One of these arrangements was the gas supply agreement with Australia Pacific LNG that will fulfil the plant’s gas needs from 1 April 2020 through to 31 December 2022. The financial benefit from the continued operation of the plant is expected to be approximately $5m in 2020, as announced on the ASX in June 2019. A major turnaround is required to be undertaken to enable the operation of the plant to December 2022. The two- month turnaround is scheduled to commence in February 2020 and cost approximately $60m. The cost of the turnaround will be depreciated over three years. Phosphate Hill – ammonium phosphates production decreased 21 percent to 674.7k metric tonnes (2018: 850.4k metric tonnes) mainly due to the impact of plant downtime as a result of the Queensland rail outage and the phosphoric acid reactor failure, as detailed in the half year disclosures. The Phosphate Hill plant is expected to benefit from a full year of lower cost Northern Territory gas supply in 2020, reducing the plant’s gas cost further by approximately $8m compared to 2019. Group Outlook and Sensitivities IPL generally does not provide profit guidance primarily due to the variability of commodity prices and foreign exchange movements. Instead, IPL provides an outlook for business performance expectations and sensitivities to key earnings drivers based on management’s view at the time of this Report. The outlook for 2020 is based on the underlying assumption that 2019 non-recurring items of $197.0m do not repeat in 2020. Dyno Nobel Americas • The Explosives business is expected to continue delivering earnings growth in 2020, underpinned by stronger volumes and efficiencies as detailed below: – 5 to 7 percent volumes growth in the Quarry & Construction sector, slightly above industry growth expectations; – Base & Precious Metals volumes expected to grow 3 to 5 percent, underpinned by the Chile expansion and increased customer demand in existing markets; and – Coal sector volumes are expected to remain flat to negative in 2020. • The Waggaman plant is expected to deliver improved production compared to 2019 at slightly below nameplate capacity, with no planned outages scheduled for 2020. The operational earnings of Waggaman remain subject to movements in ammonia and natural gas prices. • Agriculture & Industrial Chemicals operational earnings are expected to improve, absent the 2019 third-party gas supply interruptions and pricing impacts. Earnings remain subject to movements in global fertilisers prices, particularly urea and urea ammonium nitrate. Production at St Helens is expected to be in line with 2019 as a result of the planned plant turnaround in the second half of 2020. Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific • Demand for ammonium nitrate in Australia is expected to remain strong in 2020. In line with business strategy, sales volumes relating to Moranbah in Australia are expected to be lower in 2020 following contract renewals. • The accelerating rate of adopting technology is beginning to drive medium to long term growth, as miners look to technology to access the next level of productivity uplift. • Earnings from joint venture partner QNP are expected to remain relatively flat in 2020. • As previously announced, the 2020 impacts from contract losses in Western Australia is $10m; and $12m in relation to contract renewals. • Moranbah production is expected to be largely in line with 2019, however expecting improved plant efficiencies in 2020. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 23 Operating and Financial Review Fertilisers Asia Pacific • Fertilisers earnings will continue to be dependent on global fertilisers prices, the A$:US$ exchange rate and weather conditions. • Drought conditions in Queensland and New South Wales could continue to impact irrigation water availability in the key summer crop markets in 2020. • Distribution margins are expected to be materially consistent with 2019, subject to global fertilisers prices and the potential impact of ongoing drought conditions. • The Phosphate Hill plant is expected to deliver improved production of approximately 975k metric tonnes of ammonium phosphates in 2020, with no planned turnarounds in the year and all known material production issues now resolved. • Expecting additional benefits of approximately $8m in 2020, representing the full year impact of lower gas supply cost to Phosphate Hill under the Power and Water Corporation contract that commenced in January 2019. • Gibson Island production expected to improve, with less planned downtime in 2020 (two-month turnaround) compared to 2019 (three months). • As announced on the ASX on 4 June 2019, Gibson Island earnings are expected to increase by approximately $5m in 2020 following the commencement of gas supply from Australia Pacific LNG in April 2020. Group • Corporate – Corporate costs are expected to be approximately $30m in 2020. This excludes any costs in relation to the Fertilisers strategic review. • Borrowing Costs – Net borrowing costs are expected to be lower at approximately $140m due to lower average cost of funding following the completion of the Group’s debt refinancing in 2019; and lower anticipated debt levels through 2020. • Taxation – Considering the expected improvement in the Group’s 2020 earnings, the effective tax rate is expected to increase to between 25 and 28 percent. • Hedging Program – 50 percent of estimated first half 2020 US$ linked fertilisers sales are hedged at a rate of $0.70 with full participation in downward rate movements. IPL’s foreign currency exposure relating to fertilisers sales will continue to be actively managed. Other Likely Developments On 2 September 2019, the Company announced that it had commenced a strategic review of its Fertilisers business, which will continue into the 2020 financial year. The strategic review will assess various options including a potential sale of the business, a demerger or retaining the business and continuing to invest for growth. Sensitivities The table provides sensitivities to key earnings drivers and should be read in conjunction with the footnotes.

These risks, which may occur individually or concurrently, could significantly affect the Group’s business and operations. There may be additional risks unknown to IPL and other risks, currently believed to be immaterial, which could become material. In addition, any loss from such risks may not be recoverable in whole or in part under IPL’s insurance policies. The treatment strategies do not remove the risks; while in some cases they may either partially or fully mitigate the exposure, residual risk remains. The Group’s process for managing risk is set out in the Corporate Governance Statement (Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk). Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL General economic and business conditions Changing global economic and business climate The current global economic and business climate and any sustained downturn in the North American, South American, Asian, European or Australian economies may adversely impact IPL’s overall performance. This may affect demand for industrial explosives, industrial chemicals and fertilisers and related products and services, and profitability in respect of them. Commodity price risks Pricing for fertilisers, ammonia, ammonium nitrate and certain other industrial chemicals is linked to internationally traded commodities (for example, ammonia, ammonium phosphates and urea); price fluctuations in these products could adversely affect IPL’s business. The pricing of internationally traded commodities is based on international benchmarks and is affected by global supply and demand forces. Weaker hard and soft commodity prices (particularly coal, iron ore, gold, corn, wheat, cotton and sugar) could have an adverse impact on the Group’s customers and has the potential to impact the customers’ demand, impacting volume and market prices. • Diversification across explosives and fertilisers markets in numerous geographical locations helps diversify exposures. • Long term sustainable competitiveness and business fluidity is managed through continuous improvement in productivity and efficiency. • Continuous review of country specific risks helps proactive management of potential exposures. • The Group seeks to maintain or achieve low cost positions in its chosen markets, which helps its businesses to compete in changing and competitive environments. • • Integrated Business Planning (IBP) processes assist in optimising inventory to reduce price risk of stock on hand. IPL employs a “value at risk” framework with respect to its Australian fertiliser operations. This allows the business to better manage its short and medium-term exposures to commodity price fluctuations, while taking into account its commercial obligations and the associated price risks. • To ensure volume and price commitments are upheld, the Group has firm and enforceable customer supply contracts. • Where commodity price exposures cannot be eliminated through contracted and/or other commercial arrangements, the Group may enter into derivative contracts, where available on a needs basis, to mitigate this risk. However, in some instances price risk exposure cannot be economically mitigated by either contractual arrangements or derivative contracts. In relation to ammonium nitrate for DNAP, IPL also maintains multiple supply sources to help with both supply and commodity price risk. External financial risk The appreciation or depreciation of the A$ against the US$ may materially affect IPL’s financial performance. • A large proportion of IPL’s sales are denominated either directly or indirectly in foreign currencies, primarily the US$. In addition, IPL also borrows funds in US$, and the A$ equivalent of these borrowings and the interest payable on them will fluctuate with the exchange rate. Other financial risks that can impact IPL’s earnings include the cost and availability of funds to meet its business needs, compliance with terms of financing arrangements, movements in interest rates and the imposition or removal of tariffs. IPL’s capital management strategy is aimed at maintaining an investment grade credit profile to allow it to optimise the weighted average cost of capital over the long term while maintaining an appropriate mix of US$/A$ debt, provide funding flexibility by accessing different debt markets and reduce refinancing risk by ensuring a spread of debt maturities. A detailed discussion of financial risks is included in Note 16 (Financial Risk Management). • Group Treasury undertakes financial risk management in accordance with policies approved by the Board. Hedging strategies are adopted to manage, to the extent possible and appropriate, currency and interest rate risks. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 25 Operating and Financial Review Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL IPL operates in highly competitive markets with varying competitor dynamics and industry structures. • IPL seeks to maintain or develop competitive cost positions in its chosen markets, whilst maintaining quality product and service offerings. This focus on cost and quality positions its business units to compete over the medium to longer term in changing and competitive environments. • Where practical, IPL prefers to engage in long term customer and supply contractual relationships. • Pricing and risk management processes exist in all businesses. • IPL continues to invest in new technologies and premium product offerings in order to meet the needs of our customers while limiting IPL’s carbon footprint and the impact IPL, and its customers, make on the environment through a reduction in the carbon footprint from lower emissions when blasting. • Where practical, for customers in the Explosives sector, IPL prefers to engage in long term customer contractual relationships. • The Group attempts to diversify its customer base to reduce the potential impact of the loss of any single customer. • Sales and customer plans are developed in line with IPL’s strategy. • The Group manages customer credit risks by establishing credit limits by customer, as well as monitoring and actively managing overdue amounts within policy guidelines. Additionally, the Group endeavours to negotiate contractual terms that provide protection to address customer non- payment or financial distress. • From time to time, the Group purchases trade credit insurance to minimise credit risk. • • IPL utilises Net Promoter Scores and “Voice of Customer” programs to enhance its customer relationships and to help identify customer related issues early. IPL operates and manufactures products using detailed quality management systems. Quality assurance plans are in place for manufactured products intermediaries, procured products and raw materials. • Certificates of Analysis are provided for bulk shipments of fertiliser into export markets. Industry structure and competition risks Customer risks The actions of established or potential competitors could have a negative impact on sales and market share and hence the Group’s financial performance. The balance between supply and demand of the products that IPL manufactures and sells can greatly influence prices and plant utilisation. The structural shift in the North American power sector, which has seen a movement away from coal-fired energy production and towards natural gas, has placed increased pressure on existing customers (therefore giving rise to increased cost pressure on inputs to their supply) and has also resulted in reduced demand for their outputs. Reduced demand for steel inputs (in particular iron ore and metallurgical coal) can lead to a decrease in demand for explosives in these industries. IPL’s fertiliser operations compete against global manufacturers with lower input costs and potentially having regulatory and economic advantages. A competitive market may also lead to the loss of customers which may negatively impact earnings. Refer to ‘Climate Change Risks’ for potential risks and consequences related to industry structure and competition as a result of climate change. IPL has strong relationships with key customers for the supply of products and services. These relationships are fundamental to the Group’s financial performance, on which the loss of key customer(s) may have a negative impact. This is particularly relevant to the Explosives sectors, where supply contracts tend to be longer term and significant high value customers are represented. Customer(s)’ inability to pay their accounts when they fall due, or inability to continue purchasing from the Group due to financial distress, may expose the Group to customer credit risks. Product quality and/or specification risk IPL manufactures or produces product to specific customer and industry specifications and statutory parameters. The Group is exposed to financial and reputational risk if these standards, requirements and limits are not met. 26 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Oversupply of ammonium nitrate in Asia Pacific and Americas Recent additions of ammonium nitrate capacity in the Asia Pacific region, including the reliable operations of new plants, may give rise to oversupply in the short term. In the Americas market, the supply of ammonium nitrate is currently higher than demand and this position is expected to continue for a number of years. • Where practical, for customers in the Explosives sector, IPL prefers to engage in long term customer contractual relationships to manage both manufactured and supply positions. • IPL seeks to maintain or develop competitive cost positions in its chosen markets, whilst maintaining quality product and service offerings. Operational risks Production, transportation, storage and supply risks IPL’s operations are inherently dangerous. IPL operates 15 key manufacturing and assembly sites and is exposed to operational risks associated with the manufacture, transportation and storage of fertilisers, ammonium nitrate, initiating systems, industrial chemicals and industrial explosives products. These operational risks include an unintended detonation of explosives, or unintended toxic release during manufacture, transportation or storage. IPL’s manufacturing systems are vulnerable to equipment breakdowns, energy or water disruptions, natural disasters and acts of God, unforeseen human error, sabotage, terrorist attacks and other unforeseen events which may disrupt IPL’s operations and materially affect its financial performance. Timely and economic supply of key raw materials, such as natural gas, ammonia, steam, water and electricity, represents a potential risk to the Group’s ability to manufacture and supply products. In some markets in which IPL operates, economic supply of key raw materials to the Group is reliant on only a few external parties and in some cases, only one. In some markets, the availability of transportation routes for moving raw materials and finished product, such as rail, barge, truck and ship, as well as the methods for transporting key raw materials directly to sites, such as pipelines, underground aquifers and electricity networks, are reliant on only a few external parties. There is a risk that if these transportation routes or methods are disrupted, IPL’s manufacturing and distribution capacities may be reduced. There is a risk that if production is not sold and effectively moved from site, plant uptime and earnings could be negatively impacted should storage at site become full. • A Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) management system is in place with clear principles and policies communicated to employees. • HSE risk identification, mitigation and management strategies are employed at all times and across all sites. Incidents are reported and investigated, and learnings are shared throughout the Group. • Systems and procedures, including Standard Operating Procedures and Work Instructions, are established, documented, implemented and maintained to reduce HSEC risk in all work activities. • Appropriate workers’ compensation programs are in place globally to assist employees who have been injured while at work, including external insurance coverage. • IPL undertakes business continuity planning and disaster preparedness across all sites. • Global industrial special risk insurance is obtained from a variety of highly rated insurance companies to ensure the appropriate coverage is in place. The policies insure the business, subject to policy and retention limits, from damage to its plants and property and the associated costs arising from business interruptions. • Significant insurable events that occur across the Group are reviewed and coverage and policy limits may be revised, where appropriate and economical. Insurable Risk Profiling is undertaken to review the Group’s exposures. • Where possible, flexible supply chain and alternative sourcing solutions are maintained as a contingency. • Reviews of single-point sensitivity exposures within IPL’s supply chain are undertaken. Where material risks are identified, contingency plans are developed, including identification of alternative sources of supply, additional storage capacity and increased safety stock. • The IBP process and inventory management practices provide flexibility to mitigate the impacts of short term disruptions. • The Group has strict processes around the stewardship, movement and safe handling of dangerous goods and other chemicals. • Plants have storage capacity, as well as logistics capability that allows for offtake to be distributed. For example, at the Waggaman Louisiana plant offtake may be distributed via rail, truck, barge and pipeline. • The Group endeavours to include liability provisions and force majeure clauses in agreements where relevant. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 27 Operating and Financial Review Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Natural gas supply and price risk Natural gas is the major input required for the production of ammonia and therefore is a critical feedstock for IPL’s nitrogen manufacturing operations. Competitive and economic availability of natural gas is key when sourcing supply. Potential disruption of supply also poses a risk. The Group has various natural gas contracts and supply arrangements for its plants. In respect of the Australian manufacturing operations, there is a risk that a reliable, committed source of natural gas at economically viable prices may not be available following the expiry of current contractual arrangements. The cost of natural gas impacts the variable cost of production of ammonia and significantly influences the plants’ overall competitive position. Sulphuric acid cost and supply into Phosphate Hill Sulphuric acid is a major raw material required for the production of ammonium phosphates. Approximately 50-60 percent of Phosphate Hill’s sulphuric acid needs come from processing metallurgical gas sourced from Glencore’s Mt Isa Mines copper smelting facility. Glencore has confirmed that Mt Isa Mines has the necessary environmental authority to operate to 2022. Alternative sources of sulphuric acid are likely to negatively impact the cost of producing ammonium phosphates at the Phosphate Hill facility. The quantum of the impact will depend on the future availability and price of sulphur and/or sulphuric acid and the prevailing A$/US$ rate. Sulphuric acid supply into Phosphate Hill may be negatively impacted from a volume and/or price perspective, should the Mt Isa Mines copper smelter close. • The Group has medium term gas contracts in place for its Australian manufacturing sites. The contracts have various tenures and pricing mechanisms. IPL explores new gas supply arrangements as an ongoing part of its operations. • • In June 2019, IPL entered into gas supply arrangements for the Gibson Island plant through to 31 December 2022. Phosphate Hill and Moranbah have gas supply arrangements in place until 2028 and 2026 respectively. IPL is exploring, as one part of its ongoing gas supply strategies, the extraction of natural gas from the tenement awarded to Central Petroleum Limited by the Queensland government in March 2018, in respect of which IPL has entered into a 50:50 joint venture with Central. • The US natural gas market is a liquid market, with offtake facilitated by an extensive pipeline infrastructure and pricing commonly referenced to a quoted market price. The Americas business has short term gas supply arrangements in place for its gas needs with market referenced pricing mechanisms. • Gas supply has been substantially contracted for the Waggaman, Louisiana ammonia plant through to 2021, with pricing determined by reference to the price for gas traded through the Henry Hub. • In respect of the Americas business (including the Waggaman, Louisiana ammonia plant), there is an ability to hedge gas prices and the Group reviews its approach to gas hedging in the US on a regular basis. • The Group has several sources of sulphuric acid for supply for Phosphate Hill. Along with sulphuric acid produced from metallurgical gas capture, Mt Isa produces sulphuric acid from burning imported elemental sulphur. Phosphate Hill’s operations are also supplemented with sulphuric acid purchased directly from a domestic smelter to meet total sulphuric acid requirements for the production of ammonium phosphates. In addition, Phosphate Hill uses phosphoric acid reclaimed from its gypsum stacks in place of sulphuric acid. Should Glencore cease operations, it is likely that the majority of the lost sulphuric acid sourced from Glencore could be replaced, albeit with an overall negative impact to the Group compared with the use of Glencore’s metallurgical gas. • The Mt Isa site is a leased site, with a lease contract in place with Mt Isa Mines to 2028. Accordingly, IPL would be able to continue to produce sulphuric acid at Mt Isa (albeit at a higher cost) by burning elemental sulphur until 2028, should the copper smelter operation cease before that time. • Alternative sourcing solutions, such as emerging sources of sulphuric acid from regional Queensland miners, are explored as part of ongoing contingency planning. 28 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Phosphate rock Phosphate rock, used in the manufacture of both ammonium phosphates and single superphosphate fertilisers, is a naturally occurring mineral rock. • At its own facility in Phosphate Hill, IPL mines phosphate rock which is used for the production of ammonium phosphates at that facility. Phosphate rock is an internationally traded commodity, with pricing based on international benchmarks, and is affected by global supply and demand forces. Its cost for single superphosphate manufacturing purposes is also impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the A$/US$ rate. Fluctuations in either of these variables can impact the cost of IPL’s single superphosphate manufacturing operations, as these operations rely on rock imported from limited foreign supply sources. • Phosphate rock is used in the production of single superphosphate at IPL’s Geelong operations. IPL seeks to diversify the sources of supply of rock (subject to certain requirements regarding the composition of the rock, including cadmium and odour considerations) required for these operations by sourcing it from a number of international suppliers (albeit that the sources of supply are limited). A shortage of skilled labour or loss of key personnel could disrupt IPL’s business operations or adversely affect IPL’s business and financial performance. IPL’s manufacturing plants require skilled operators drawn from a range of disciplines, trades and vocations. IPL has operations in regional and remote locations where it can be difficult to attract and retain critical and diverse talent. • IPL’s scale provides some ability to relocate staff to cover shortages or losses of critical staff. • The Group has policies and procedures, including flexible working arrangements and competitive compensation structures, designed to help attract and retain workforce. • Management identifies critical roles and attempts to implement policies to help ensure that appropriate succession and retention plans are in place for those roles. Seasonal conditions (particularly rainfall), are a key factor for determining demand and sales of explosives and fertilisers. Any prolonged change in weather patterns & severity of adverse weather conditions could impact the future profitability and prospects of IPL. • The IBP process incorporates forecasting on a rolling 24-month basis which enables scenario planning and some supply flexibility. Forecasts are based on typical weather conditions and are reviewed on an ongoing basis as the seasons progress to help align supply to changing demand. Labour Weather Further disclosure on climate related risks can be found in the Climate Change Risks sub-sections of this report. • • IPL’s Australian fertilisers business operates in all Australian States other than Western Australia. In addition to geographical diversity, there is also diversity across market segments – IPL supplies fertilisers for a wide range of agricultural applications – and customers serviced. IPL’s international explosives businesses operate across geographically diverse locations, principally Australia and North America with exposures to diverse sectors including coal, iron ore, quarry & construction and metals mining. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 29 Operating and Financial Review Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Climate change risks associated with a 2 Degree Scenario risk analysis The ‘2 Degree Scenario’: A scenario in which climate change is limited to 2 degrees by 2100 requires rapid decarbonisation of the global economy and is in keeping with the global agreement to reduce carbon dioxide equivalent (carbon) emissions which was reached through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreement in Paris in 2015. It represents a future in which stringent climate policies are put in place in the short to medium term, leading to a decline in carbon emissions after 2040. This scenario projects an average global temperature increase of between 0.9°C and 2°C by 2050 and between 1.1°C and 2.6°C degrees by 2090. Because this scenario assumes rapid global action is taken to reduce emissions, acute and chronic physical risks associated with a greater degree of warming are not as severe. While extreme weather events, droughts and floods are expected to continue to increase in this scenario, the risks associated with these impacts were not identified as individually material by the IPL Risk Matrix. The material financial risks identified for IPL during a risk analysis against the 2-degree scenario are associated with the rapid transitioning of the economy towards decarbonisation. • • IPL has a large, diverse supplier group, which would assist in avoiding carbon pricing pass through in the short-term. IPL customer agreements provide for the pass through of carbon pricing where possible. • Domestic co-location of critical products will reduce carbon costs associated with transport. Diversification away from single source suppliers, already being managed, will also assist in managing the potentially volatile/variable costs associated with increased regulation, including carbon pricing, in the period between 2030 and 2040. Policy and legal risks IPL has manufacturing facilities across various geographical locations that may be impacted by regulatory changes aimed at reducing the impact of, or otherwise addressing, climate change. Any changed regulation could result in an increase to the cost base or operating cost of these plants, and it may not be possible to alter sales prices to offset these cost increases. This includes, but is not restricted to, any regulations relating to reducing carbon emissions. Alternatively, any such regulatory changes may potentially impact the ability of these plants to continue functioning as currently operated. This risk would be heightened if regulatory changes are implemented inconsistently across regions or countries so that IPL’s facilities (principally located in Australia and North America) are impacted by regulatory changes while manufacturing facilities of competitors operating in other jurisdictions are less impacted. Carbon pricing currently applies in Australia, and under a 2-degree scenario, rapid action to limit climate change would include a global carbon price by 2020 (short-term risk: 1-3 years). Carbon pricing would increase operational costs as well as costs to transport products, which could impact until 2025, when most shipping options would be retrofitted with zero or low carbon mobility options (e.g. hydrogen). The transition to a global carbon price may give rise to a period of volatility where IPL would not be able to pass through the immediate carbon costs to customers, who may choose to source products more locally where available to avoid these carbon costs. Market risks(1) Under a 2-degree scenario, unless carbon capture and storage is rapidly developed, transitioning away from fossil fuels is likely to significantly decrease demand for thermal coal, with impacts beginning in the short term (1-3 years). However, the technologies associated with renewable energy such as electric vehicles and large- scale batteries are likely to expand dramatically, with World Bank estimates indicating that demand for the metals required for these technologies could grow by 1000% under a 2-degree scenario. While these mining operations (which use explosives) mitigate the potential loss of revenue from the thermal coal market, “new world commodities” do not require the same quantity of explosives as bulk commodities, which may result in lower overall demand and potentially leading to a supply/demand imbalance. This potential loss of revenue may be partially offset by premium explosives technologies replacing bulk explosives products, attracting a higher margin. • • • IPL seeks to maintain competitive cost positions in its chosen markets, whilst maintaining quality product and service offerings. This focus on cost and quality positions its business units to compete over the medium to longer term in changing and competitive environments. In the 2-degree scenario the reduction in demand for explosives supplying the thermal coal markets will be partly offset by the mining of new world commodities required for renewable technologies which could be higher margin activity. IPL currently buys in a portion of its ammonium nitrate to fulfil current demand and could manage the rapid market change away from thermal coal through reduced purchasing of third-party ammonium nitrate. • Where practical, IPL prefers to engage in long term customer and supply contractual relationships. • Pricing and risk management processes exist in all businesses. (1) While the ways in which markets could be affected by climate change are varied and complex, one of the major ways is through shifts in supply and demand for certain commodities, products, and services as climate-related risks and opportunities are increasingly taken into account. (Financial Stability Board, Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, 2017, p 6). 30 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Climate change risks associated with a 4 Degree Scenario risk analysis The ‘4 Degree Scenario’ assumes negligible and/or ineffective policy and action to limit carbon emissions, which results in an average increase in temperature of between 2.6°C and 4.8°C by 2100. The lack of effective progress to reduce emissions in this scenario results in ‘business as usual’ in regard to carbon regulation. While market transition risks (such as risks from changed consumption patterns) occur in this 4-degree scenario, the material risks are associated with ‘chronic’ physical risks (e.g. creeping changes in climate which cause drought and sea level rise) and ‘acute’ physical risks (e.g. more severe and more frequent extreme weather events such as hurricanes, drought and flooding from intense rain events and storm surges). The resulting social consequences are expected to be severe, with food and water scarcity and resulting conflict impacting on some economies. Risks associated with Acute(2) and Chronic(3) physical events Impacts on Product Demand: IPL provides products and services to end markets, individual customers and suppliers that may be impacted by changes to weather patterns resulting from climate change. Changes to the number and/or intensity of storms, hurricanes and other extreme weather events may impact IPL’s end markets, primarily mining and agriculture. A 4-degree climate change scenario indicates fertiliser demand increasing in the short term, as emerging markets demand more meat, before a significant downturn associated with the economic impacts of acute extreme weather events and chronic changes in climatic conditions which may impact the ability to grow crops. IPL’s Asia-Pacific fertiliser revenue from exports may be impacted in the long-term (6+ years) by a decline in offshore market demand with most South-east Asian countries, which currently are IPL’s predominant fertiliser export market, and small island developing states being ranked among the most vulnerable in the world by the Climate Risk Index (CRI). IPL currently sells up to 15% of its Asia Pacific explosives into international markets, with most of these countries considered emerging or developing. Under a 4-degree climate change scenario, explosives demand in the Asia Pacific region may be impacted in the long term (6+ years) by reduced demand in climate vulnerable nations, as indicated by the CRI. • Fertiliser demand is likely to grow in the short term due to restoration of degraded land to meet growing population needs for food and increased meat and dairy consumption. • • IPL currently exports fertilisers from Australia and may be able to ship to other locations where demand is retained as markets are impacted by chronic changes in climate. IPL currently sells fertilisers on the spot market to a geographically diverse group of customers and has no long- term reliance on a particular customer segment. IPL also has the competitive advantage of having manufacturing sites located primarily in Australia and the US. These are wealthy countries which can afford to rebuild their port infrastructure in the event of rising sea-levels and damage from storm surges and other acute physical impacts. For this reason, it is anticipated that IPL will be able to ship to other offshore markets which retain demand in the event that current export regions are impacted. • Under a 4-degree climate scenario, the physical impacts of climate change mean that the Quarry & Construction sector is likely to assume a portion of the demand that was previously taken by climate vulnerable nations in the Asia Pacific region. Many new mines are expected to be developed to supply “new world commodities” for batteries, renewables and mobility options, however, “new world commodities” are not expected to require the same quantity of explosives as bulk commodities. Therefore, overall explosive volumes would be expected to decrease in this scenario. (2) Acute physical risks refer to those that are event-driven, including increased severity of extreme weather events, such as cyclones, hurricanes, or floods. (Financial Stability Board, Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, 2017, p 6). (3) Chronic physical risks refer to longer-term shifts in climate patterns (e.g., sustained higher temperatures) that may cause sea level rise or chronic heat waves. (Financial Stability Board, Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, 2017, p 6). Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 31 Operating and Financial Review Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Risks associated with Acute and Chronic physical events (continued) Impacts on Operations: Some of IPL’s manufacturing plants are located in areas that are susceptible to extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, tropical storms and tornadoes. An increase in the severity and/or frequency of these extreme weather events as a result of climate change may cause more frequent disruption to IPL’s operations directly or as a result of supply chain disruption, which includes transportation of raw materials and finished product via road, rail and water. Impacts such as these may increase in the short term (1–3 years). Under this scenario, insurance premiums would be expected to increase along with a possibility that some events may be excluded from cover. • IPL’s own manufacturing facilities are considered resilient to the anticipated acute physical impacts of climate change, with measures currently in place to manage exposure where sites are located in tornado or hurricane zones. • Due to its location in a hurricane zone, the Waggaman Louisiana plant was built to comply with wind codes set out by the International Building Code Design Standard IBC 20 and Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures ASCE 7-05. The design was signed off by a Louisiana based certified Professional Engineer with experience in design standards for the region, where the impacts of future hurricanes must be considered. • Safety and evacuation plans are in place for all personnel Interruptions to logistics from extreme weather events could result in financial loss if product cannot be stored effectively and degrades. • and sites. IPL is developing technology solutions to increase the shelf life of products. Were IPL required to build additional storage to stockpile raw materials and product for temporary interruptions to logistics, and to protect product quality from humidity, flooding, heat extremes and other physical impacts, the total aggregate cost would be immaterial. Additional storage, both onsite and at strategic locations along transport routes may be necessary, along with contingency plans to use alternative forms of transport to access these. This would allow IPL to create resilience in the event of volatility created by more extreme weather. • The Group endeavours to include force majeure clauses in agreements where relevant. • Insurance policies are in place across the Group. • The location of the Moranbah facility close to high quality metallurgical coal producers would provide IPL with a strategic advantage over its competitors in the event of supply chain disruption due to extreme weather events. • Domestic co-location of critical products and diversification away from single source suppliers, already being managed, will assist in managing supply chain interruption. • Water scarcity concerns could prompt the need for additional storage. The cost of creating additional storage (dams) in these locations is considered immaterial. Water restrictions as a result of longer periods of drought and therefore increased regulation, may also prompt IPL to seek alternative water sources. At present, no operations have been identified where sourcing of new water is considered to be too costly or unavailable. • Ongoing and long-term water management strategies are in place to ensure overflows of storm water ponds due to higher intensity rainfall events are avoided. • The construction of sea-level management infrastructure (levies, etc.) will be considered in the long-term where required for the identified manufacturing sites to manage the risk of flooding due to storm surges and sea level rise. Water is a key raw material for manufacturing, with the majority used for cooling purposes. Under a 4-degree climate change scenario, it is predicted that average annual rainfall will be reduced and longer periods of prolonged drought will be created, especially in Eastern Australia. While this may be offset somewhat by increased 1 in 20-year flooding events at some locations, and up to 15% more rainfall than historical averages in each single rain event, water restrictions may become more frequent in some areas. In addition, the possibility of less frequent, higher intensity rainfall events may lead to the risk of storm water pond overflows. These impacts could occur in the short-term (1-3 years), with very low dam levels being recorded near some sites in the recent past. Several manufacturing sites are located on coasts and are very close to sea level. A significant rise in sea level combined with a king tide may cause flooding events at these sites from 2030 onwards (considered a long-term risk) particularly with increased storm activity causing storm surges to become more intense. 32 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Risk Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Compliance, regulatory and legal risk Compliance, regulatory and legal risk Changes in federal or state government legislation, regulations or policies in any of the countries in which IPL operates or in which it has dealings may adversely impact its business, financial condition and operations, or the business, financial condition and operations of IPL’s customers and suppliers. This includes changes in domestic or international laws relating to sanctions, import and export quotas, tariffs and geopolitical risks relating to countries with which IPL, or its customers and suppliers, engages to buy or sell products and materials. In addition, changes in tax legislation or compliance requirements in the jurisdictions in which IPL, or its customers and suppliers, operates, or changes in the policy or practices of the relevant tax authorities in such jurisdictions, may result in additional compliance costs and/or increased risk of regulatory action, including potential impact on licenses to operate. IPL’s business, and that of its customers and suppliers, is subject to environmental laws and regulations that require specific operating licences and impose various requirements and standards. Changes in these laws and regulations, failure to abide by the laws and/or licensing conditions, or changes to licence conditions, may have a detrimental effect on IPL’s operations and financial performance, including the need to undertake environmental remediation, financial penalties or ceasing to operate. During FY19 a Consent Decree was issued against IPL’s St Helens ammonia plant. Compliance with this Consent Decree is subject to an independent external audit, the results of which are required to be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency. IPL’s business, and that of its customers and suppliers, is also subject to various other laws and regulatory provisions across the jurisdictions in which it operates, including anti-bribery and corruption laws, sanctions and anti-trust laws. Failure to abide by these laws and regulatory provisions could result in reputational damage to IPL as well as legal action, and could impact on the willingness of parties, including financiers, to transact with IPL. IPL is exposed to potential legal and other claims or disputes in the course of its business, including contractual and other commercial disputes, and property damage and personal injury claims in connection with its operations. Loss or exposure of sensitive data and cyber security Sensitive data, pertaining to IPL, its employees, associates, customers or suppliers, may be lost or exposed, resulting in negative impact to reputation or competitive advantage, and potential breach of regulatory compliance obligations. IPL may be the target of cyber-attacks which could result in commercial, financial, health and safety, environmental or reputational impacts. The potential consequences include loss of business or customer, financial loss, harm to personnel or environment, interference with compliance with regulations, interruption to operational business processes, or interruption to the ability to make, sell and ship product. • Management, through the Managing Director & CEO and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for the overall design, implementation, management and coordination of the Group’s risk management and internal control system. • Each business unit has responsibility for identification and management of risks specific to the business.

No significant changes have occurred in the nature of these activities during the financial year. Significant changes in the state of affairs There have been no significant changes to the Group’s state of affairs during the financial year. Events subsequent to reporting date In October 2019, US$500m Notes in the Private Placement Market were funded with US$250m maturing 30 October 2028 and US$250m maturing 30 October 2030. In November 2019, the directors determined to pay a final dividend for the Company of 3.4 cents per share, 30 percent franked, to be paid on 8 January 2020. The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 2 December 2019. The total dividend payment of $54.6m will be paid in cash or as part of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan which has been reinstated at a discount of 2 percent (refer to note 6). Other than the matters reported on above, the directors have not become aware of any other significant matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the financial year, that has affected or may affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent years, which has not been covered in this report. Likely developments The Operating and Financial Review contains information on the Company’s 2019 financial performance and prospects for future financial years, and refers to likely developments in the Company’s operations and the expected results of these operations in future financial years. Information on likely developments in the Company’s operations for future financial years and the expected results of those operations together with details that could give rise to material detriment to the Company (for example, information that is commercially sensitive, confidential or could give a third party a commercial advantage) have not been included in this report where the directors believe it would likely result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company. Environmental regulation and performance The operations of the Group are subject to environmental regulation under the jurisdiction of the countries in which those operations are conducted including Australia, United States of America, Mexico, Chile, Canada, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Turkey. The Group is committed to complying with environmental legislation, regulations, standards and licences relevant to its operations. The environmental laws and regulations generally address certain aspects and potential impacts of the Group’s activities in relation to, among other things, air and noise quality, soil, water, biodiversity and wildlife. The Group operates under a Global Health, Safety and Environment Management System which sets out guidelines on the Group’s approach to environmental management, including a requirement for sites to undertake an Environmental Site Assessment. In certain jurisdictions, the Group holds licences for some of its operations and activities from the relevant environmental regulator. The Group measures its compliance with such licences and reports statutory non-compliances as required. Measurement of the Group’s environmental performance, including determination of areas of focus and assessment of projects to be undertaken, is based not only on the actual impact of incidents, but also upon the potential consequence, consistent with IPL’s risk based focus. During the year, the Group has continued to focus on licence compliance and identification and mitigation of environmental risks. Remediation works have progressed at a number of sites in the U.S. as dictated by regulatory approvals. For the 2019 financial year, three significant environmental matters arose, which were related to events from prior financial years. In the first matter, the Group received a civil penalty of US$492,000 and was ordered to provide US$939,852 worth of emergency equipment to the local community, relating to unplanned ammonia released in 2010 and 2015 and the alleged failure to accurately estimate and report ammonia releases to the EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory. In the second matter, the Group was convicted of four environmental charges with regard to offsite releases at Geelong in 2017, receiving a fine of $120,000. In the third matter, the Group was prosecuted for a breach of licence conditions in Townsville relating to the release of stormwater with elevated levels of ammonia. This resulted in a fine of $21,500. During the 2019 financial year, the Group also received a number of fines from the Queensland environmental regulator. Three fines totalling $38,725 were incurred in connection with stormwater releases at Phosphate Hill, one fine of $13,055 in connection with a sulphuric acid spill at Gibson Island and one fine of $13,055 in connection with a sulphuric acid spill at Mt Isa. Indemnification and insurance of officers The Company’s Constitution provides that, to the extent permitted by law, the Company must indemnify any person who is, or has been, a director or secretary of the Company against any liability incurred by that person including any liability incurred as an officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and legal costs incurred by that person in defending an action. The Constitution further provides that the Company may enter into an agreement with any current or former director or secretary or a person who is, or has been, an officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company to indemnify the person against such liabilities. In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the Company has entered into Deeds of Access, Indemnity and Insurance with each director of the Company and certain members of senior management. Pursuant to those deeds, the Company has paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring directors and officers of the Group against any liability for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending civil or criminal proceedings involving them as such officers, with some exceptions. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability insured against and the amount of the premium paid. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 37 Directors’ Report Auditor Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu was appointed as the Company’s external auditor at the 2011 Annual General Meeting and continues in office in accordance with section 327B(2) of the Act. Mr Tim Richards is the Company’s lead audit partner for the 2019 financial year. Non-audit services Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu has provided non-audit services to the amount of $422,480 during the year ended 30 September 2019 (refer to note 22 to the financial statements). As set out in note 22 to the financial statements, the Audit and Risk Management Committee must approve individual non- audit engagements provided by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu above a value of $100,000, as well as the aggregate amount exceeding $250,000 per annum. Further, in accordance with its Charter, during the year the Committee has continued to monitor and review the independence and objectivity of the auditor, having regard to the provision of non-audit services. Based on the advice of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, the directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Act and does not compromise the external auditor’s independence. Lead Auditor’s Independence Declaration The lead auditor has provided a written declaration that no professional engagement for the Group has been carried out during the year that would impair Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu’s independence as auditor. The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 60 and forms part of this report. Rounding The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument, ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission dated 24 March 2016 and, in accordance with that Legislative Instrument, the amounts shown in this report and in the financial statements have been rounded off, except where otherwise stated, to the nearest one hundred thousand dollars. Corporate Governance Statement The key features of the Company’s corporate governance framework are set out in the Corporate Governance Statement, which is available at www.incitecpivot.com.au/Corporate_ Governance. The Directors’ Report, which includes the Operating and Financial Review and the Remuneration Report, is signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors of Incitec Pivot Limited. Brian Kruger Chairman Melbourne, 12 November 2019 38 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Remuneration Report Introduction from the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee Dear Shareholders, On behalf of Incitec Pivot Limited’s (IPL or the Company) Remuneration Committee and the Board, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report for 2019 which sets out the remuneration information for the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Executive Key Management Personnel (KMP) and the Non-Executive Directors. Our approach The Remuneration Committee aims to ensure our remuneration framework delivers aligned outcomes between company and individual performance as well as IPL’s long-term strategy and values. The 2019 financial year has been a challenging one for IPL, with company results reflected in the remuneration outcomes for Executives. Executive changes in the 2019 financial year Two new Executive KMP joined IPL during 2019. Tim Wall was appointed to the role of President, Global Manufacturing on 1 November 2018, and Stephan Titze commenced in the role of President, Incitec Pivot Fertilisers on 16 January 2019. Accordingly, the 2019 Remuneration Report reflects only part year remuneration for our two new appointees. Fixed remuneration The Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer received a 2.5% increase to her fixed annual remuneration during the year, her first increase since joining IPL in October 2017. No other Executive received an uplift in fixed remuneration in 2019. More information on fixed remuneration for the 2019 financial year is provided in section 4.2 of this report. Short-term incentive As highlighted in last year’s Remuneration Report, the Remuneration Committee undertook a comprehensive review of market remuneration practices in 2018. This resulted in significant change to the structure of IPL’s short term incentive (STI) program and the way in which it interacts with a newly created Minimum Shareholding Requirement (MSR) for Executives. The STI framework has been updated to incorporate both headline and adjusted financial performance measures, which sees a portion of STI opportunity adjusted for foreign exchange and commodity price movements. Mandatory deferral of STI has been introduced that remains in place until an individual’s MSR has been achieved. Shares that satisfy an individual’s MSR through the STI deferral mechanism are unable to be sold for up to 15 years, no matter the value they may increase to. An important aspect underpinning the Executive STI program is that no payments are made for the financial and strategic/ customer component if a designated Group financial STI Gate is not achieved. In addition, the Board retains a discretion to forfeit all or part of the STI award payable for the Zero Harm performance condition in the event of a fatality or major safety incident. In the 2019 financial year, the Group financial STI Gate was not achieved. This resulted in STI outcomes of 0% across the Executive KMPs, compared to 81% of maximum opportunity last year. This variability in outcome demonstrates the strong alignment between IPL’s financial performance and Executive remuneration outcomes. More information on the Company’s 2019 performance and resulting STI outcomes is provided in section 4.3 of this report. Long-term incentive For the long term incentive (LTI) plan with the performance period ending on 30 September 2019 (i.e. the 2016–2019 LTI grant), the performance conditions were relative Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) (weighted at 40%); Growth in Return on Equity (ROE) (weighted at 30%); and the delivery of Strategic Initiatives (weighted at 30%). No performance rights will vest for the TSR component, as the Company delivered relative Total Shareholder Returns slightly below the median of the S&P/ASX 100 for the performance period. No performance rights relating to the ROE objective will vest, as the minimum level of ROE performance was not achieved. There will be partial vesting of 20% of performance rights emanating from achievements pertaining to the Strategic Initiatives measures. More information on the LTI program, including the 2016 – 2019 performance, is provided in section 4.4 of this report. Special Discretionary Bonus A special discretionary bonus equal to 10% of fixed remuneration has been awarded to Mr Greg Hayne in recognition of an exceptional customer-driven outcome for the Australian business. More information on this Special Discretionary Bonus is provided in section 4.5 of this report. 2020 Remuneration framework A change has been made to the LTI Plan, effective for the 2019 – 2022 LTI grant. The ROE measure has been replaced by a Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) measure. ROIC has been selected as it is a key determinant of efficient use of the capital entrusted to management by shareholders. It also reflects factors that improve shareholder value, including operational efficiency, capital efficiency, asset utilisation and profitability. As highlighted in last year’s report, a separate minimum shareholding requirement will be operating for Non-Executive Directors in 2020. These changes have no impact on the remuneration outcomes for the 2019 financial year, as presented within this document. More information on the changes to the 2020 Remuneration framework can be found in section 5 of this report. The Board invites you to consider the 2019 Remuneration Report.

Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 41 Remuneration Report 2. Executive Remuneration & Governance 2.1 Executive remuneration overview In alignment with its remuneration strategy, the Board’s policy on Executive remuneration is that it comprises both a fixed remuneration component (FAR) and an “at risk” or performance-related component (short term incentive (STI) and long term incentive (LTI)) where: (i) the majority of Executive remuneration is “at risk”; and (ii) the level of FAR for Executives is benchmarked against that paid for similar positions at the median of companies in a comparator group with a range of market capitalisations (50% – 200% of that of the Company). A summary of the Company’s approach to Executive remuneration for the 2019 financial year, including performance conditions and their link to the overall remuneration strategy is set out below: Performance Conditions Remuneration Strategy/Performance Link Fixed Annual Remuneration Salary and other benefits (including statutory superannuation). Refer section 3.2 for more details Short Term Incentive Annual incentive opportunity delivered 50 – 100% in cash/ restricted shares for the MD&CEO (dependent on the level of Minimum Shareholding Requirement achieved) and 75 – 100% in cash/restricted shares (dependent on the level of Minimum Shareholding Requirement achieved) for all other Executives. Refer section 3.3 for more details Long Term Incentive Three-year incentive opportunity delivered through performance rights. Refer section 3.4 and 3.5 for more details Considerations • Scope of individual’s role • Individual’s level of knowledge, skills and expertise • Company and individual performance • Market benchmarking Zero Harm The award payable for the Zero Harm performance condition may be forfeited in the event of a fatality or major incident having regard to its circumstances. Safety measures (generally 10% of STI award) • Safety performance balanced scorecard across the dimensions of behavioural safety and process safety management comprising input and output measures Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) ‘gate’ Minimum NPAT performance level that must be achieved before any non-safety component of the STI is payable. • Requires achievement of a designated Group NPAT as determined by the Board Financial measures (generally a maximum of 80% of STI award, incorporating metrics relevant to an Executive’s area of influence) • Group NPAT • Group Adjusted NPAT • Business Unit Adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) Strategic objectives (for most of the Executives, a maximum of 10% of STI award) aligned to personal strategic objectives. Performance conditions Distinct categories of performance that are weighted to align with the Group’s focus over the three-year period that each tranche of the plan spans. • Relative total shareholder returns • Strategic initiatives • Return on equity Set to attract, retain and motivate the right talent to deliver on IPL’s strategy and contribute to the Company’s financial and operational performance. For the Company’s Executives, the aim is to set fixed remuneration at market relevant levels and link any future increases to individual performance and effectiveness whilst continuing to have regard to market relevance. To align with the Company’s commitment to “Zero Harm for Everyone, Everywhere”. In assessing the safety balanced scorecard, the Board may, in its discretion, have regard to the results achieved against the measures comprising the scorecard without applying a specific weighting to any particular measure. To align with the Company’s strategic intent of achieving top quartile performance as measured against S&P/ASX 100 companies. To ensure robust alignment of performance in a particular Business Unit with reward for the Executive managing that business unit. Performance conditions are designed to support the financial direction of the Company (the achievement of which is intended to translate through to shareholder return) and are clearly defined and measurable. Key strategic and growth objectives targeted at delivering ongoing benefit to the Company. Performance conditions designed to encourage Executives to focus on the key performance drivers which underpin sustainable growth in shareholder value. The mix of performance conditions is designed to ensure the share price growth is supported by the Company’s ROE growth performance as well as strategic initiatives, and not market factors alone. Total Remuneration The combination of these elements is designed to attract, retain and motivate appropriately qualified and experienced individuals, encourage a strong focus on performance, support the delivery of outstanding returns to shareholders and align Executive and stakeholder interests through share ownership. 42 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 2.2 Executive remuneration strategy IPL’s purpose is to make people’s lives better by unlocking the world’s natural resources through innovation on the ground. IPL’s Strategic Value Drivers underpin the Company’s business and form the platform for the Company’s future earnings growth and shareholder returns. One of IPL’s Strategic Value Drivers is Talented and Engaged People. IPL recognises that to generate competitive returns for its shareholders, it requires talented people who are capable, committed and motivated. IPL’s remuneration strategy is designed to support the objectives of the business and to enable the Company to attract, retain and reward Executives of the necessary skill and calibre. The key principles of the Company’s remuneration strategy are to: • reward strategic outcomes at both the Group and business unit level that create top quartile long term shareholder value; • encourage integrity and disciplined risk management in business practice; • drive strong alignment with shareholder interests through delivering part of the reward in the form of equity; • structure the majority of executive remuneration to be “at risk” and linked to demanding financial and non-financial performance objectives; • attract and retain the best available talent; • reward Executives for high performance within their role and responsibilities, and ensure rewards are competitive within the industry and market for their role in respect of pay level and structure; and • ensure the remuneration framework is simple, transparent and easily implemented. 2.3 Executive remuneration governance The remuneration of the Executives is set by the Board, having regard to recommendations from the Remuneration Committee. Where appropriate, the Remuneration Committee of the Board engages external advisors to provide input to the process of reviewing Executive and Non-Executive Director remuneration. For the 2019 financial year, the Remuneration Committee received market and benchmarking data from various sources, but this information did not constitute a remuneration recommendation for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Further information in relation to the Board and the Remuneration Committee can be found in IPL’s Corporate Governance Statement available on IPL’s website. 3. 2019 Executive Remuneration Framework 3.1 Overview The charts below set out the theoretical breakdown of the Executives’ total remuneration package for the 2019 financial year. The FAR component is inclusive of cash and superannuation only, whilst “at risk” compensation is based on maximum entitlement that could potentially be awarded under the STI and LTI plans. MD & CEO STI – cash/ restricted shares 38% STI – cash/ restricted shares 38% Other Executives STI – cash/ restricted shares 40% STI – cash/ restricted shares 40% Fixed 25% Fixed FAR 25% 25% FAR 25% At Risk 75% At Risk 75% Fixed 33% Fixed FAR 33% 33% FAR 33% At Risk 67% At Risk 67% LTI 37% LTI 37% LTI 27% LTI 27% 3.2 Fixed annual remuneration Executives receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms, including cash, superannuation, and any applicable fringe benefits. The Executives’ FAR is set by reference to appropriate benchmark information for each Executive’s role, level of knowledge, skill, responsibilities and experience. The level of remuneration is reviewed annually in alignment with the financial year and with reference to, among other things, Company and individual performance and market data provided by an appropriately qualified and independent external data specialist. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 43 Remuneration Report 3.3 Short term incentive The STI is an annual “at risk” incentive which is dependent on the achievement of particular performance measures. The following table summarises the STI plan that applied in the 2019 financial year (2019 STI): What was the performance period? The performance period for the 2019 STI was the financial year from 1 October 2018 to 30 September 2019. Who was eligible for the STI? Participation was at the Board’s discretion. The MD&CEO and all other Executives participated in the 2019 STI. What was the target and maximum STI opportunity? What were the Performance Conditions and Measures? Target STI opportunity was 100% of FAR for the MD&CEO, and 60% of FAR for all other Executives. Maximum STI opportunity (for stretch outcomes) was 150% for the MD&CEO, and 120% of FAR for all other Executives. Performance conditions under the STI are determined by the Board for each financial year. The performance conditions for the 2019 STI are set out below: Performance Conditions Measures to assess satisfaction of Performance Condition Rationale for the Performance Conditions Group Financial Performance Group NPAT (Net Profit After Tax). Group Adjusted NPAT(1) (Net Profit After Tax). Business Unit Financial Performance Zero Harm Business Unit Adjusted EBIT(1) (Earnings Before Interest and Tax). Manufacturing reliability Safety performance balanced scorecard across the dimensions of behavioural safety and process safety management comprising input and output measures.(2) Strategic Outcomes Measures based on performance criteria for the execution and implementation of strategic objectives and business priorities. These include measures related to manufacturing turnaround performance, product innovation, customers and organic growth. To align with the Company’s strategic intent of achieving top quartile performance as measured against S&P/ASX 100 companies To ensure robust alignment of performance in a particular business unit with reward for the Executive managing that business unit. To align with the Company’s commitment to “Zero Harm for Everyone, Everywhere”. In 2017, the Company adopted its second five-year Global HSE Strategy to continue to drive improvement in the Group’s health, safety and environmental performance. Tailored to individual Executive’s role, to drive performance and behaviours consistent with achieving critical aspects of the Group’s strategy. (1) Adjusted for foreign exchange and commodity price movements. (2) In assessing the safety balanced scorecard, the Board may, in its discretion, have regard to the results achieved against the measures comprising the scorecard without applying a specific weighting to any particular measure. Where any Individually Material Item (IMI) is separately recognised in the financial report, the Board will have discretion to include or exclude the IMI for the purpose of determining any STI award, taking into account the nature of the IMI and having regard to whether, in the circumstances, it would be appropriate for the IMI to be attributable to Management. Satisfaction of the above measures was based on a review by the Board of the audited financial report and performance of the Group for the financial year, following the annual performance review process for the Executives. Are there minimum performance levels which must be achieved before awards can be made under the STI? To ensure STI awards are aligned with business performance outcomes, the Board has determined that a minimum level of financial performance, known as the “STI Financial Gate”, must be met before any awards can be made. If financial performance does not meet the STI Financial Gate, no awards are made under the STI, save that the STI Financial Gate does not apply to any awards payable in relation to the Zero Harm performance condition, reflecting the primacy of safety. For the 2019 financial year, the STI Financial Gate reflected a requirement to exceed a designated level of the Group’s NPAT performance. In relation to the Zero Harm performance condition, the Board retains a discretion to forfeit all or part of the award payable for this performance condition in the event of a fatality or major incident having regard to the circumstances of the incident. 44 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 What were the weightings for the STI performance measures? The weighting of Executives’ STI performance measures (as a percentage of 100%) for 2019 were: Table 2 Executives – Current J Johns* Managing Director & CEO F Micallef* Chief Financial Officer T Wall** President, Global Manufacturing G Hayne** President, Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific N Stratford** President, Dyno Nobel Americas S Titze** President, Incitec Pivot Fertilisers Executives – Former A Grace**(1) President, Global Manufacturing *Group role **Business Unit role As a percentage of Maximum opportunity Non-financial/ Business/Strategic Strategic Safety Outcomes Group NPAT Financial Group Adjusted NPAT Business Unit Adjusted EBIT 50% 30% 10% 10% 100% 50% 30% 10% 10% 100% 40% 40% 40% 40% 40% 40% 10% 10% 100% 40% 10% 10% 100% 40% 10% 10% 100% 40% 10% 10% 100% 40% 10% 10% 100% (1) Mr Grace ceased as a KMP on 31 October 2018 and was not a participant in the 2019 STI. Is there an STI deferral component? The 2019 financial year saw the introduction of a mandatory 25% STI deferral (50% for the MD&CEO) that continues until an Executive’s Minimum Shareholding Requirement (MSR) is achieved. The MSR is 50% of FAR for Executives (100% for the MD&CEO). How is the STI delivered? The STI is delivered partly in cash and partly in the form of restricted shares. The split between cash and restricted shares is determined based on each participant’s shareholding under the MSR. Was there a mechanism for clawback? The 2019 STI included a clawback provision, which requires the repayment of all or part of any STI awarded within three years after a payment is made, in the event of a material misstatement or omissions in IPL’s financial statement which results in a restatement of the audited financial report. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 45 Remuneration Report 3.4 Long term incentive The LTI is the long term incentive component of remuneration for Executives. The LTI is provided in the form of performance rights. What LTI plans were applicable for the 2019 financial year? The LTI Plans applicable to the 2019 financial year were the: • Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan for 2016/19 (LTI 2016/19); • Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan for 2017/20 (LTI 2017/20), and • Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan for 2018/21 (LTI 2018/21); (together, the LTI Plans). Under the LTI Plans, participants are entitled to acquire ordinary shares in the Company, on a one right to one share basis, for no consideration at a later date. The performance rights are issued by Incitec Pivot Limited and the entitlement of the participants to acquire ordinary shares is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As no shares are provided to participants until vesting, performance rights have no dividend entitlement. Performance rights expire on vesting or lapsing of the rights. What is the purpose of the LTIs? The LTI is designed to link reward with the key performance drivers which underpin sustainable growth in shareholder value. As rights under the LTI Plans result in share ownership on the achievement of demanding targets, the LTI ties remuneration to Company performance, as experienced by shareholders. The arrangements also support the Company’s strategy for retention and motivation of the Executives. What is the process for determining eligibility? The decision to grant performance rights under the LTI Plans and to whom they will be granted is made annually by the Board, noting that the grant of performance rights to the MD&CEO is subject to shareholder approval. Grants of performance rights to participants are based on a percentage of the relevant Executive’s FAR. What is the maximum LTI opportunity under the LTI Plans? How was the number of performance rights calculated under the LTI Plans? What are the performance conditions, performance period and status of the LTI Plans? The maximum LTI opportunities under each LTI Plan are: • for the MD&CEO, 150% of FAR; and • for all other Executives, 80% of FAR. For the LTI 2016/19, LTI 2017/20, and LTI 2018/21, the number of performance rights issued to a participant was based on the market value of the Company’s shares and was determined by dividing the dollar value of the relevant participant’s LTI opportunity by the Company’s volume weighted average share price over the 20 business days up to but not including the first day of the relevant performance period. LTI Plan Performance Conditions Weighting of Performance Condition Performance Period Status LTI 2016/19 • TSR Condition • Strategic Initiatives 40% 30% 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2019 Condition • ROE Growth Condition 30% LTI 2017/20 • TSR Condition • Strategic Initiatives 50% 15% 1 October 2017 to 30 September 2020 Condition • ROE Growth Condition 35% LTI 2018/21 • TSR Condition • Strategic Initiatives 40% 30% 1 October 2018 to 30 September 2021 Condition • ROE Growth Condition 30% Performance period completed. Following testing in October 2019, the Board determined that 20% of the performance rights in total will vest. Refer to section 4.4 for further details. Testing to occur after completion of performance period. Testing to occur after completion of performance period. The performance conditions are determined by the Board annually. Refer to section 3.5 for a discussion of the performance conditions. 46 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 When are the performance conditions measured? After the expiry of the relevant performance period, the Board determines whether the performance conditions of the relevant LTI Plans are satisfied. The performance conditions are tested once, at the end of the relevant performance period. If the performance conditions are satisfied and the rights vest, the participant is entitled to receive ordinary shares in the Company. The participant does not pay for those shares. To the extent the performance conditions are not satisfied during the performance period, the performance rights will lapse. What happens if a participant leaves the Company? Generally, the performance rights granted under the LTI Plans will lapse on a cessation of employment except where the participant has died, becomes totally and permanently disabled, is retrenched, retires or, for the LTI 2017/20 and LTI 2018/21, is terminated without cause. In those circumstances (subject to Board discretion), the performance rights will be reduced pro rata to the proportion of days worked during the relevant performance period and will be tested in the ordinary course. The Board may provide a notice to the participants specifying that the performance rights will vest at a time stipulated in the notice on the occurrence of one of the following events in relation to the Company: • a takeover bid; • a change of control; • the Court ordering a meeting be held in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other companies; or • a voluntary or compulsory winding-up. In what other circumstances may the performance rights vest (which may be before or after the expiry of the performance period) under the LTI Plans? 3.5 LTI performance conditions For the LTI 2016/19, LTI 2017/20 and LTI 2018/21, the performance conditions are measured by reference to the TSR Condition, a Strategic Initiatives Condition and growth in Return on Equity (ROE Growth Condition). Details of the performance conditions for each of the LTI 2016/19, LTI 2017/20 and LTI 2018/21 are set out below. TSR Condition The TSR Condition (applicable to each of LTI 2016/19, LTI 2017/20 and LTI 2018/21) requires growth in the Company’s TSR to be at or above the median of the companies in the comparator group, being the S&P/ASX 100. This condition provides shareholder alignment as it takes into account the Company’s share price movement as well as dividends paid, relative to other organisations comparable to the Company. The S&P/ASX 100 has been chosen as the comparator group because, having regard to the business segments in which the Company operates and, specifically, the absence of a sufficient number of direct comparator companies, the Board considers the S&P/ASX 100 to represent the most appropriate, and objective, comparator group. It also represents the group of companies against which the Company competes for shareholder capital. The Board has the discretion to vary the Comparator Group at any time, including to remove companies from, or include companies in, the Comparator Group. The table below sets out the TSR Condition, and the percentage of the performance rights that will vest based on satisfaction of this condition. Relative TSR ranking of IPL Less than 50th percentile % of performance rights subject to the TSR Condition that will vest Nil At or greater than 50th percentile but less than 75th percentile Pro rata from 50% on a straight-line basis At 75th percentile or greater 100% Strategic Initiatives Condition The Strategic Initiatives Condition relates to the delivery of significant aspects of the Board approved strategy. For the LTI 2016/19 and LTI 2017/20, the Strategic Initiatives Condition relates solely to the Business Excellence System. For the LTI 2018/21, the Strategic Initiatives Condition comprises components aligned with three of the Company’s strategic drivers: Manufacturing Excellence, Technology Solutions and Customer Focus. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 47 Remuneration Report The table below summarises the Strategic Initiatives Condition components for the LTI 2016/19, the LTI 2017/20 and the LTI 2018/21: Rationale Scorecard Measurement criteria Performance goals Strategic Initiatives Condition component Business Excellence (BEx) System(1) BEx is the Company’s business and continuous improvement system, through which the Company seeks to enhance productivity on a sustainable basis utilising “lean” business methods. The LTI performance goals in relation to BEx are focussed on incentivising the delivery of sustainable productivity improvements, rather than one-off benefits. Performance in relation to this component of the Strategic Initiatives Condition will be assessed against a Scorecard comprising performance goals related to: • Business system maturity (practices) • Cumulative productivity benefits (performance) • Manufacturing volume (performance) Business system maturity: For LTI 2016/19 and LTI 2017/20 – An absolute improvement in Business Excellence system maturity over the performance period, or satisfaction of an exit score requirement at the end of the performance period. This measure does not apply for LTI 2018/21. Cumulative productivity benefits: For LTI 2016/19, LTI 2017/20 and LTI 2018/21 – Delivery of cumulative savings over the performance period against targets approved by the Board. Manufacturing plant uptime: • For LTI 2016/19 – Plant uptime (adjusted for plant age and scheduled outages) measured across specified manufacturing plants, with target 75th percentile performance. • For LTI 2017/20 and LTI 2018/21 – Achievement of target volumes of particular products at specified manufacturing plants as approved by the Board. Revenues from technologies: For LTI 2018/21 – Annual growth in technology sales from 2018 baseline. Net Promoter Score (NPS): For LTI 2018/21 – Improvement in NPS over 2019 baseline. Key customer retention: For LTI 2018/21 – Quantitative targets against 2018 baseline assessed by the Board. Customer, Practical Technology & Innovation (CPT&I)(1) IPL’s growth strategy includes providing value added differentiated products & services, and innovations to meet the challenges of customers, to assure sustainable earnings and maximise shareholder return. Performance in relation to this component will be assessed against a Scorecard comprising performance goals related to: • Revenues from technologies • Company customer retention and growth in footprint (1) BEx applies to 30% of the performance rights in the LTI 2016/19 grant and 15% in the LTI 2017/20 grant. The applicable BEx components and CPT&I combined apply to 30% of the performance rights in the grant for LTI 2018/21. Details of the Scorecards and specific performance goals for each component of the Strategic Initiatives Condition were notified to Executives on commencement of each applicable LTI plan. These performance goals involve commercial-in-confidence quantitative targets and, as such, details of the performance goals are disclosed only at the end of the performance period. For the LTI 2016/19, these details are set out in section 4.4. For the LTI 2017/20 and LTI 2018/21, the relevant details will be set out in the 2020 Remuneration Report and the 2021 Remuneration Report respectively. The Board will determine the outcome for the relevant component of the Strategic Initiatives Condition under each LTI plan having regard to the results achieved against the performance goals across the entirety of the Scorecard for that component. If the Board determines that all of the performance goals in respect of a component of the Strategic Initiatives Condition have been achieved, all of the performance rights subject to that component will vest. If not all performance goals in respect of a component of the Strategic Initiatives Condition are met over the performance period, the extent to which that component of the Strategic Initiatives Condition has been satisfied (if at all) will be determined by the Board. In doing so, the Board will have regard to the results achieved against the performance goals across all of the components of the relevant Scorecard, without applying a specific weighting to any particular performance goal. 48 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 ROE Growth Condition The ROE Growth Condition was introduced for the first time in 2016 and applies to the LTI 2016/19, LTI 2017/20 and LTI 2018/21. The ROE Growth Condition measures the compound annual growth in ROE over the performance period. ROE was chosen as it is a widely recognised and reported metric, is a key determinant of efficient use of the capital entrusted to management by shareholders, reflects all of the levers to create shareholder value and is a transparent metric which can be calculated directly from the Company’s financial report. The table below sets out the ROE Growth Condition, and the percentage of performance rights that will vest based on satisfaction of this condition: ROE Compound Annual Growth Rate % of performance rights subject to the ROE Growth Condition that will vest Less than 7% Nil At or above 7% but less than 11% Pro rata from 50% on a straight-line basis 11% or greater 100% 3.6. Executives Service Agreement Terms Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Executives are formalised in service agreements. Most Executives are engaged on similar contractual terms, with minor variations to address differing circumstances. Each agreement is unlimited in term; however, each agreement provides that the Company may terminate an Executive’s employment immediately for cause without any separation payment, save for accrued amounts such as leave, or otherwise without cause, with or without notice, in which case the Company must pay a separation payment plus accrued amounts such as leave. The notice period to be provided by the Executives is set out in the table below: Notice period to be provided by the Executive Current Executives J Johns F Micallef T Wall G Hayne N Stratford S Titze 52 weeks 13 weeks 26 weeks 26 weeks 13 weeks 26 weeks The separation payment included in each Executive’s contract is capped at an amount equivalent to a specified number of weeks of FAR for the Executive. Ms Johns’ separation payment is equal to 52 weeks of FAR as at the date of termination (subject to the provisions relating to termination benefits in Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001). All other Executives’ contracts provide for a separation payment of 26 weeks of FAR, save for Mr Stratford’s and Mr Hayne’s contracts which provided for a separation payment equal to 52 weeks of FAR (subject to the terminations provisions in the Corporations Act). Additionally, Mr Micallef’s contract further provides that the Company may terminate the agreement on notice in the case of incapacity, in which case the Company must pay the separation payment, outstanding fixed annual remuneration plus accrued annual leave and accrued long service leave. For Mr Titze, if the Company terminates his employment within the first twelve months after the date on which his employment commenced, it will provide twelve months’ notice (or payment in lieu for some or all of this period), and thereafter it must provide six months’ notice (or payment in lieu).

Remuneration outcomes in 2019 financial year and link to 2019 financial year performance 4.1 Analysis of relationship between the Company’s performance, shareholder wealth and remuneration In considering the Company’s performance, the benefit to shareholders and appropriate remuneration for the Executives, the Board, through its Remuneration Committee, has regard to financial and non-financial indices, including the indices shown in the below table in respect of the current financial year and the preceding four financial years. Table 3 – Indices relevant to the Board’s assessment of the Company’s performance and the benefit to shareholders NPAT before IMIs and excluding non-controlling interests ($m) EPS before IMIs (cents) Dividends per share (DPS) paid in the financial year (cents) DPS declared in respect of the financial year (cents) Share price ($) (Financial Year End)(1) TSR (%)(2) On-market share buyback ($m) 2015 398.6 2016 295.2 23.8 11.7 11.8 3.90 43 – 17.5 11.5 8.7 2.82 14 – 2017 318.7 18.9 9.1 9.4 3.60 36 – 2018 347.4 20.9 9.4 10.7 3.98 14 2019 152.4 9.5 7.5 4.7 3.39 30 (210.3) (89.7) (1) Share Price as at the end of the 2014 financial year was 2.71. (2) TSR is calculated in accordance with the rules of the LTI 2012/15, LTI 2013/16, LTI 2014/17 LTI 2015/18 and LTI 2016/19 as applicable over the three-year performance period, having regard to the volume weighted average price of the shares over the 20 business days up to but not including the first and last day of the performance period. Relationship between the Company’s performance and STI outcomes Relationship between the Company’s performance and LTI outcomes The graph below shows the relationship between the Company’s performance and STI awards in respect of the current and preceding four years. In the 2015 financial year, NPAT (before IMIs and excluding non-controlling interest) increased by 11.9% to $398.6m compared to the 2014 financial year and, as a result, certain Executives earned awards in full in respect of this measure. For the 2016 financial year, with NPAT (before IMIs and excluding non-controlling interest) declining by 25.5% to $295.2m, no awards were made under the 2016 STI, save in relation to the successful completion of the Louisiana Ammonia Project as well as the Company’s safety performance. For the 2017 financial year, NPAT (before IMIs and excluding non-controlling interest) increased 8% to $318.7m resulting in certain Executives earning partial STI awards in respect of this measure. For the 2018 financial year, Group NPAT (before IMIs and excluding non-controlling interest) increased 9.0% to $347.4m resulting in Executives earning full STI awards in respect of this measure. For the 2019 financial year, Group NPAT (before IMIs and excluding non-controlling interest) has decreased 56.1% to $152.4m resulting in Executives earning 0% STI awards in respect of this measure. The graph below shows the relationship between IPL’s Absolute TSR and its percentile ranking relative to its S&P/ ASX 100 peer group. IPL outranked the 50th percentile TSR for the ASX 100 peer group for the 2012-2015 performance period with a 53rd percentile ranking (Absolute TSR: achieved 43%) and for the 2014-17 performance period with a 53rd percentile ranking (Absolute TSR: achieved 36%). The 2015- 18 performance period achieved an Absolute TSR increase of 14%, delivering fourth quartile performance, and the 2016-19 performance period achieved an Absolute TSR increase of 30%, delivering 44th percentile performance. As a consequence, the LTI 2012/15 and LTI 2014/17 partially vested, the LTI 2015/18 did not vest and the LTI 2016/19 TSR will not vest as outlined in section 4.4 of this report. The performance rights in LTI 2013/16 plan did not meet the performance conditions set out in the plans (including a TSR condition) and lapsed. Positive TSR has been achieved in 5 out of the 5 periods reported. Note: The absolute TSR for IPL and for the ASX100 has been calculated using the methodology noted in footnote (2) Table 3.

As performance was below the level necessary for the gate to open, no payment was made for this, or any other Financial or the Strategic Outcomes component. Group Financial Performance (Adjusted NPAT) As the Group NPAT Financial gate was not met, no payment was made for this component. Business Unit Financial Performance As the Group NPAT Financial gate was not met, no payment was made for this component. Zero Harm The balanced scorecard which applies to all Executive KMPs was partially met. Consideration of the gate for this measure was applied by the Board and no payment was made for this component. Strategic Outcomes As the Group NPAT Financial gate was not met, no payment was made for this component. The Board approved the STI outcomes in November 2019 with the outcomes reflected in the following table: Table 4 – Short term incentives awarded for the year ended 30 September 2019 Details of the vesting profile of the STI payments awarded for the year ended 30 September 2019 as remuneration to each Executive are set out below: Executives – Current J Johns F Micallef T Wall G Hayne N Stratford S Titze Executives – Current J Johns(1) T Wall(2) Short term incentive for the year ended 30 September 2019 Cash STI $000 Minimum share holding allocation(A) $000 Included in remuneration $000 % earned of maximum opportunity % forfeited of maximum opportunity – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Deferred Short term incentive for the year ended 30 September 2019 – – 331 172 – – 100 100 100 100 100 100 – – (A) Under the terms of the 2019 STI, to the extent that Executives have not achieved their Minimum Shareholding Requirement the following applies: 50% of the MD&CEO’s award is delivered in cash and the remainder is delivered in restricted shares. For all other Executives, 75% of their award is delivered in cash and the remainder is delivered in restricted shares. Cash is generally paid and shares generally allocated around December. (1) Under the terms of the 2018 STI in which Ms Johns participated, the total STI award was $2.09m, of this 50% was paid in cash, and the remaining 50% awarded in the form of performance rights. Subject to Ms Johns meeting a service condition, 25% of the award will vest on 30 November 2019 and 25% of the award will vest on 30 November 2020. On each relevant vesting date and subject to satisfying the service condition, Ms Johns will receive the award amount in cash or fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, as determined by the Board. The value of the rights is calculated at grant date using a Black Scholes option pricing model as disclosed in the footnotes under Table 7. The expense accrual recorded in the 2019 financial year includes a write back of $19,827 to the 2018 STI accrual based on the grant date valuation of performance rights issued on 5 February 2019. (2) Mr Wall received special performance rights related to his employment, of which 50% will vest following testing in November 2019, with the remaining 50% to vest in November 2020, subject to Mr Wall satisfying individual performance criteria. On each relevant vesting date and subject to satisfying the performance condition, Mr Wall will receive the award amount in cash or fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, as determined by the Board. The value of rights is calculated at grant date using a Black Scholes pricing model as disclosed in the footnotes under Table 7. Following testing in November 2019, the Board determined that 100% of the performance rights relating to performance period 1 November 2018 to 30 September 2019 will vest. This will be reported in the 2020 Remuneration Report. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 51 Remuneration Report 4.4 LTI 2016/19 Outcomes The performance period for the LTI 2016/19 ended on 30 September 2019. Following testing against the performance conditions, in November the Board determined that 20% of the performance rights granted under the plan will vest. Details in relation to each of the performance conditions are set out below. TSR Condition In relation to the TSR Condition, the Company’s relative TSR performance over the period did not achieve median performance of the comparator group of S&P/ASX100 companies. Accordingly, 0% of the performance rights granted subject to the TSR Condition will vest (out of a maximum of 40% of performance rights granted under the plan). Strategic Initiatives Condition In relation to the Strategic Initiatives Condition – the Board assessed this component against a balanced scorecard and determined the outcome having regard to the results achieved for the performance goals across the entirety of the scorecard. The Board has determined that 20% of the performance rights granted subject to this condition will vest (out of a maximum of 30% of performance rights granted under the plan). Commentary on the performance against the scorecard is set out in the following table. Strategic Initiatives Condition component Commentary on Performance Against Scorecard Business Excellence (BEx) System The performance goals for the BEx scorecard comprised of non-financial input and financial and non-financial output measures. In relation to the input measures, the Business System Maturity outcomes were verified by independent third parties and saw significant improvements in maturity, particularly in Integrated Business Planning (IBP). Stretch performance was assessed to have resulted. Cumulative productivity benefits of $226.3m were delivered, which exceeded the stretch objective established against this measure. Manufacturing Uptime targets were only partially met which resulted in an assessment of below threshold performance. Overall assessment: having regard to the outcomes in relation to the input and output measures, the Board determined that the performance goals were partially delivered against the balanced scorecard. Actual Vesting (%) 66% of Rights for this component ROE Growth Condition In relation to the ROE Growth Condition, the Company’s performance over the period did not achieve a 7% Compound Annual Growth Rate. Accordingly, 0% of the performance rights granted subject to the ROE Growth Condition will vest (out of a maximum 30% of performance rights granted under the plan). Overall, 20% of the Performance Rights allocated under the LTI 2016/19 will vest (with the remaining 80% to lapse). The number of rights vested and lapsed will be reported in the 2020 Remuneration Report. 4.5 Special Discretionary Bonus A special discretionary bonus equal to $62,000 (10% of fixed remuneration) has been awarded to Mr Greg Hayne. This bonus was in recognition of an exceptional outcome for the Australian business, which saw value-added outcomes for IPL and its customers, and building strategic partnerships through IPL’s technology offer. This payment is reflected in Table 7 of this report, under the “Short Term Incentive & other bonuses” column. 52 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 4.6 Performance related remuneration Table 5 – Details of performance rights granted and vested in the year ended 30 September 2019 and the vesting profile of performance rights granted as remuneration LTI Details of performance rights vested and forfeited set out in the table below relate to the performance rights granted under the LTI 2015/18 (performance period: 1 October 2015 to 30 September 2018) which, following testing in November 2018 resulted in the Board determining that 15% vested.

The value of these rights is included in the footnotes under Table 7. This amount is allocated to the remuneration of each Executive over the vesting period (that is, in the 2019, 2020 and 2021 financial years). (B) The maximum value of outstanding rights is based on the fair value of the performance rights at the grant date. This may be different to the value of the rights in the event that they vest. The minimum value of rights yet to vest is zero, as the performance criteria may not be met. Modification of terms of equity-settled share-based payment transactions No terms of equity-settled share-based payment transactions (including rights) granted to a KMP have been altered or modified by the issuing entity during the reporting period.

Overview of remuneration changes for the 2020 Financial Year This year’s structural changes to remuneration, that resulted from the Board’s review of remuneration in 2018, means only minor changes to the framework are planned for financial year 2020. • STI – An additional ‘gate’ will be introduced into the STI design for financial year 2020, whereby the Group’s overall credit rating must be maintained for participants to be eligible to receive payments attached to the financial components of the plan. • MSR – Minimum Shareholding Requirements for Directors, highlighted to be introduced in last year’s Report, will be fully operational in the 2020 financial year. Directors who have nominated to utilise the fee sacrifice option to accumulate shares have already begun this process, with first rights to be issued under this arrangement in November 2019. • LTI – The Return on Equity (ROE) measure has been replaced by a Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) measure. ROIC has been selected as it is a key determinant of efficient use of the capital entrusted to management by shareholders. It also reflects factors that improve shareholder value, including operational efficiency, capital efficiency, asset utilisation and profitability. Three-year ROIC targets will be established, based on the current IPL company-wide footprint. However, Board discretion may be exercised to adjust these targets, pending any action resulting from the strategic review of Incitec Pivot Fertilisers. There will also be a change to the dates and methodology as to how performance rights are issued. Previously this was based on the volume weighted average share price over the 20 business days up to but not including the first day of the relevant performance period. This will now take place over the 5 business days immediately after the release of the Company’s full year results in the first year of the performance period, being November 2019. The Board will continue to monitor and consider any trends that may become apparent with respect to remuneration (both domestically and internationally) and look to incorporate changes that may contribute to the efficacy of the Company’s overall remuneration structure. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 57 Remuneration Report 6. Non-Executive Director Remuneration IPL’s policy is to: • remunerate Non-Executive Directors by way of fees and payments which may be in the form of cash and superannuation benefits; and • set the level of Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments to be consistent with the market and to enable the IPL Group to attract and retain directors of an appropriate calibre. Non-Executive Directors are not remunerated by way of options, shares, performance rights, bonuses nor by incentive-based payments. Non-Executive Directors receive a fee for being a director of the Board and Non-Executive Directors, other than the Chairman of the Board, receive additional fees for either chairing or being a member of a Board Committee. The level of fees paid to a Non-Executive Director is determined by the Board after an annual review and reflects a Non-Executive Director’s time commitments and responsibilities. For the 2019 financial year, there were no increases to Non-Executive Directors’ fees. Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors amounted to $1,653,000 which was within the $2,000,000 maximum aggregate fee pool approved by shareholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting. For the 2020 financial year, the Board has determined that there will be no increase in Non-Executive Director fees.

The interests in joint operations are brought to account recognising the Group’s share of jointly controlled assets; liabilities; expenses; and income from the joint operation. A list of the Group’s joint arrangements and associates is included in note 14. The financial results and financial position of the Group are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 12 November 2019. Deficiency in net current assets As at 30 September 2019, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $953.3m. This is primarily due to the Group’s USD800m fixed interest rate bond, maturing in December 2019. At 30 September 2019, the Group has cash balances of $576.4m and the following undrawn financing facilities: l 3 year bank facility of $289.6m that matures in August 2021; and l 5 year bank facility of $739.5m that matures in October 2021. In addition, USD500m of Notes in the US Private Placement market were funded in October 2019, with USD250m maturing on 30 October 2028 and USD250m maturing on 30 October 2030. The Group’s forecast cash flow for the next twelve months indicates that it will be able to meet current liabilities as and when they fall due. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Report has been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group constantly assesses the adequacy of its financing arrangements and will establish new funding facilities as and when required, to ensure they appropriately support its investment grade credit profile and liquidity requirements. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Group. The financial results and financial position of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. A list of the Group’s subsidiaries is included in note 14. Joint arrangements and associates A joint venture is an arrangement where the parties have rights to the net assets of the venture. A joint operation is an arrangement where the parties each have rights to the assets and liabilities relating to the arrangement. Associates are those entities in respect of which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies of the entities. Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, and subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investees. 68 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations. The Company is a for-profit entity.

The estimates and judgments that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out in the notes. Rounding of amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument, ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/ Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission dated 24 March 2016 and, in accordance with that Legislative Instrument, the amounts shown in this report and in the financial statements have been rounded, except where otherwise stated, to the nearest one hundred thousand dollars.

As a result, the Group recognised a one-off benefit of $96.5m arising from the restatement of its US net deferred tax liabilities. (2) Impairment of goodwill relating to the DNAP CGU. In February 2019, IPL announced a temporary production interruption at its Phosphate Hill plant as a result of the closure of the rail line between Townsville and Phosphate Hill as a consequence of the once in a 100-year rain event and the resultant flooding in northern Queensland. The financial impact of the outage on the Group’s EBIT was $115m for the 2019 financial year. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the impact is not presented as an individually material item, as it largely represents lost sales margin on product that was not manufactured as a result of the rail outage. Key accounting policies AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 October 2018, which replaces AASB 118 Revenue. AASB 15 establishes principles for reporting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The standard requires the identification of distinct performance obligations in a contract and an allocation of the transaction price to these performance obligations. Per the standard, revenue should only be recognised when the performance obligation is satisfied and the control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer. Under AASB 15, the Group recognises revenue from the sale of goods at the time that control is transferred to the customer. Services revenue is recognised separately from the sale of goods, as the performance obligation is satisfied. The Group performed a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 15 on the Group’s revenue streams, contracts with customers and existing revenue recognition policies. The adoption of AASB 15 has not impacted the timing or amount of revenue recognised. Accordingly, there has been no restatement of comparative amounts or retained earnings.

Revenue and expenses (continued) Key accounting policies (continued) 3. Taxation Income tax expense for the year l Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method. Tax effect of amounts which are not deductible/ (taxable) in calculating taxable income: As a result of adopting AASB 15, the Group’s revised revenue recognition policy is as follows: Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable by the Group. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities on the following basis: l Sale of goods and services: revenue from the sale of goods and services is recognised at the point in time when the performance obligations under the customer contract are satisfied. This is typically when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer. The fee for the service component is recognised separately from the sale of goods. l Take-or-pay revenue: revenue is recognised in line with the sale of goods policy. In circumstances where goods are not taken by the customer, revenue is recognised when the likelihood of the customer meeting its obligation to ‘take goods’ becomes remote. The Group disaggregates its revenue per reportable segment as presented in Note 1, as the revenue within each business unit is affected by economic factors in a similar manner. Goods and services tax Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities (other than receivables and payables) are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). The only exception is where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the relevant taxation authorities. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of the asset or as part of the item of expenditure. Other income Other income from operations represents gains that are not revenue. This includes royalty income and management fees from the Group’s joint ventures and associates, and income from contractual arrangements that are not considered external sales. 72 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Current tax expense Current year Adjustments in respect of prior years Deferred tax expense Current year Income tax expense (excluding IMIs) Tax rate change Total income tax expense/(benefit) 2019 $mill 2018 $mill (17.1) (3.0) (20.1) 59.6 (2.8) 56.8 27.6 21.6 7.5 78.4 – 7.5 (96.5) (18.1) Income tax reconciliation to prima facie tax payable Profit before income tax Tax at the Australian tax rate of 30% (2018: 30%) Other foreign deductions Joint venture income Sundry items Tax rate change Goodwill impairment Difference in overseas tax rates Adjustments in respect of prior years Income tax expense/(benefit) attributable to profit 2019 $mill 2018 $mill 159.6 192.7 47.9 57.8 (15.9) (32.2) (11.6) (13.0) 2.9 9.5 – – (12.8) (3.0) (96.5) 70.8 (11.7) (2.8) 7.5 (18.1) Tax amounts recognised directly in equity The aggregate current and deferred tax arising in the financial year and not recognised in net profit or loss but directly charged to equity is $24.6m for the year ended 30 September 2019 (2018: debit of $36.5m).

Taxation (continued) Movements in net deferred tax liabilities The table below sets out movements in net deferred tax balances for the period ended 30 September: 4. Trade and other assets and liabilities The Group’s total trade and other assets and liabilities consists of inventory, receivables and payables balances, net of provisions for any impairment losses. Opening balance at 1 October Debited to the profit or loss Charged to equity Foreign exchange movements Tax rate change Closing balance at 30 September 2019 $mill 2018 $mill (465.9) (487.5) (27.6) (21.6) 24.6 (36.5) (13.6) (16.8) – 96.5 (482.5) (465.9) Key accounting policies Income tax expense Income tax expense comprises current tax (amounts payable or receivable within 12 months) and deferred tax (amounts payable or receivable after 12 months). Tax expense is recognised in the profit or loss, unless it relates to items that have been recognised in equity (as part of other comprehensive income). In this instance, the related tax expense is also recognised in equity. Current tax Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year. It is calculated using tax rates applicable at the reporting date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised for all taxable temporary differences and is calculated based on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realised. Offsetting tax balances Tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legal right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Tax consolidation For details on the Company’s tax consolidated group refer to note 21. Key estimates and judgments Uncertain tax matters The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and foreign jurisdictions and as a result the calculation of the Group’s tax charge involves a degree of estimation and judgment in respect of certain items. In addition, there are transactions and calculations relating to the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for potential tax audit issues based on management’s assessment of whether additional taxes may be payable. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, these differences impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. 30 September 2019 Inventories Receivables Payables 30 September 2018 Inventories Receivables Payables Inventory by category: Raw materials and stores Work-in-progress Finished goods Provisions Total inventory balance Provision movement: Trade $mill 600.9 286.2 Other $mill – 77.9 Total $mill 600.9 364.1 (883.0) (286.4) (1,169.4) 4.1 (208.5) (204.4) Trade $mill 494.9 289.2 Other $mill – 34.9 Total $mill 494.9 324.1 (835.9) (222.7) (1,058.6) (51.8) (187.8) (239.6) 2019 $mill 2018 $mill 137.1 101.8 61.3 416.2 (13.7) 600.9 55.2 348.5 (10.6) 494.9 Trade receivables $mill Inventories $mill (28.7) (3.1) 4.9 0.9 (2.1) (28.1) (10.6) (3.6) – 0.9 (0.4) (13.7) 30 September 2019 Carrying amount at 1 October 2018 Provisions made during the year Provisions written back during the year Amounts written off against provisions Foreign exchange rate movements Carrying amount at 30 September 2019 Receivables ageing and provision for impairment Included in the following table is an age analysis of the Group’s trade receivables, along with impairment provisions against these balances at 30 September: 30 September 2019 Current 30–90 days Over 90 days Total 30 September 2018 Current 30–90 days Over 90 days Total Gross $mill Impairment $mill Net $mill 278.7 8.9 26.7 314.3 (2.0) (2.2) (23.9) 276.7 6.7 2.8 (28.1) 286.2 Gross $mill Impairment $mill Net $mill 283.6 5.2 29.1 317.9 (1.6) (0.9) (26.2) (28.7) 282.0 4.3 2.9 289.2 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 73 Note 1 Note 2 Note 3 Note 4 Note 5 Note 6 Note 7 Note 8 Note 9 Note 10 Note 11 Note 12 Note 13 Note 14 Note 15 Note 16 Note 17 Note 18 Note 19 Note 20 Note 21 Note 22 Note 23 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Financial performance For the year ended 30 September 2019 Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are stated at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year, which are unpaid at the reporting date. To manage the cash flow conversion cycle on some products procured by the Group, and to ensure that suppliers receive payment in a time period that suits their business model, the Group offers some suppliers the opportunity to use supply chain financing. At 30 September 2019, the balance of the supply chain finance program was $306.5m (2018: $316.4m). The Group evaluates supplier arrangements against a number of indicators to assess if the payable continues to have the characteristics of a trade payable or should be classified as borrowings. These indicators include whether the payment terms exceed customary payment terms in the industry. At 30 September 2019, none of the payables subject to supplier financing arrangements met the characteristics to be classified as borrowings and the balances remained in trade payables. Key estimates and judgments The expected impairment loss calculation for trade receivables considers the impact of past events, and exercises judgment over the impact of current and future economic conditions when considering the recoverability of outstanding trade receivable balances at the reporting date. Subsequent changes in economic and market conditions may result in the provision for impairment losses increasing or decreasing in future periods.

The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 2 December 2019. The total dividend payment of $54.6m will be paid in cash or as part of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan which has been reinstated at a discount of 2 percent. The financial effect of this dividend has not been recognised in the 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements and will be recognised in subsequent Financial Reports. Consistent with recent years, the dividend reflects a payout ratio of approximately 50 percent of net profit after tax (before individually material items). Franking credits Franking credits available to shareholders of the Company were $7.6m (2018: $9.5m). The final dividend for 2019 is 30 percent franked. Key accounting policies A provision for dividends payable is recognised in the reporting period in which the dividends are paid. The provision is for the total undistributed dividend amount, regardless of the extent to which the dividend will be paid in cash.

Under this Act, authorised general insurer, Coltivi Insurance Pte Limited (the Group’s self-insurance company), is required to maintain a minimum amount of capital. For the financial year ended 30 September 2019, Coltivi Insurance Pte Limited maintained capital in excess of the minimum requirements prescribed under this Act. Issued capital Ordinary shares Ordinary shares issued are classified as equity and are fully paid, have no par value and carry one vote per share and the right to dividends. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. Issued capital as at 30 September 2019 amounted to $3,136.8m (1,605,783,967 ordinary shares). During the financial year ended 30 September 2019, the Company bought back and cancelled 24,429,606 shares (2018: 56,956,948) at an average price per share of 3.672 (2018: 3.693), thereby completing its $300m share buy-back program on 18 December 2018.

Capital management Capital is defined as the amount subscribed by shareholders to the Company’s ordinary shares and amounts advanced by debt providers to any Group entity. The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern while providing returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The Group’s key strategies for maintenance of an optimal capital structure include: l Aiming to maintain an investment grade credit profile and the requisite financial metrics. l Securing access to diversified sources of debt funding with a spread of maturity dates and sufficient undrawn committed facility capacity. l Optimising over the long term, to the extent practicable, the Group’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), while maintaining financial flexibility. In order to optimise its capital structure, the Group may undertake one or a combination of the following actions: l change the amount of dividends paid to shareholders and/or offer a dividend reinvestment plan with or without a discount and/or with or without an underwriting facility when appropriate; l return capital or issue new shares to shareholders; l vary discretionary capital expenditure; l raise new debt funding or repay existing debt balances; and l draw down additional debt or sell non-core assets to reduce debt. Key financial metrics The Group uses a range of financial metrics to monitor the efficiency of its capital structure, including EBITDA interest cover and Net debt/EBITDA before individually material items. Financial metric targets are maintained inside debt covenant restrictions. At 30 September the Group’s position in relation to these metrics was: Net debt/EBITDA (times) equal or less than 2.5 Interest cover (times) equal or more than 6.0 2.8 4.6 1.6 7.3 Target range 2019 2018 These ratios are impacted by a number of factors, including the level of cash retained from operating cash flows generated by the Group after paying all of its commitments (including dividends or other returns of capital), movements in foreign exchange rates, changes to market interest rates and the fair value of hedges economically hedging the Group’s net debt. The significant one-off event which occured during the year (refer note 2) resulted in an increase in the Net debt/EBITDA ratio to 2.8 times at 30 September 2019 and an Interest cover ratio of 4.6 times. Although these ratios fall within loan covenant requirements, the Group is targeting a ratio of below 2.5 times for Net debt/EBITDA and above 6 times for the Interest cover ratio. It is expected these measures will return within their target range over the next 12 months as the impact of one-off events recedes. 76 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital structure For the year ended 30 September 2019 8. Net debt The Group’s net debt comprises the net of interest bearing liabilities, cash and cash equivalents, and the fair value of derivative instruments economically hedging the foreign exchange rate and interest rate exposures of the Group’s interest bearing liabilities at the reporting date.

Bank Facilities The Group holds the following committed bank facilities: l 3 year facility domiciled in Australia, entered into in August 2018, consisting of two tranches: Tranche A has a limit of AUD260m and Tranche B has a limit of USD220m. The facility matures in August 2021. l 5 year facility of USD500m domiciled in the US, entered into in August 2015, with an initial maturity of August 2020. In 2017 the maturity was extended to October 2021. l 1.5 year bridge facility of USD350m entered into in March 2019 domiciled in the US. This facility was cancelled following the funding of the USD500m Notes in the US Private Placement market. Tenor of interest bearing liabilities The Group’s average tenor of its drawn interest bearing liabilities at 30 September 2019 is 3.4 years (2018: 3.3 years). After taking into account the funding of the USD500m Notes in the US Private Placement market and the maturity of the USD800m bond along with the cancellation of the USD350m bridge facility, the Group’s average tenor of its debt facilities is expected to be 5.7 years.

Key accounting policies Interest bearing liabilities Interest bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable borrowing costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest bearing liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with any difference between cost and redemption value recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings. The Group derecognises interest bearing liabilities when its obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. Any gains and losses arising on derecognition are recognised in the profit or loss. Interest bearing liabilities are classified as current liabilities, except for those liabilities where the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the year end, which are classified as non-current. Cash and cash equivalents Cash includes cash at bank, cash on hand and short term investments, net of bank overdrafts. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest on borrowings and the amortisation of premiums relating to borrowings. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, unless they relate to qualifying assets (refer note 9). In this instance, the borrowing costs are capitalised and depreciated over the asset’s expected useful life.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Borrowing costs in relation to the funding of qualifying assets are capitalised and included in the cost of the asset. Qualifying assets are assets that take more than 12 months to get ready for their intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed generally, a weighted average interest rate is used for the capitalisation of interest. Property, plant and equipment is subject to impairment testing. For details of impairment of assets, refer note 11. Depreciation Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis. Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation rates are calculated to spread the cost of the asset (less any residual value), over its estimated useful life. Residual value is the estimated value of the asset at the end of its useful life. Estimated useful lives for each class of asset are as follows: • Buildings and improvements • Machinery, plant and equipment 20 – 50 years 3 – 50 years Residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted where relevant when changes in circumstances impact the use of the asset.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Brand names Brand names acquired by the Group have indefinite useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. They are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets acquired by the Group have finite lives. They are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits of the asset to which it relates. All other such expenditure is expensed as incurred. Amortisation Goodwill and brand names are not amortised. For intangible assets with finite lives, amortisation is recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets in this category are as follows: • Software • Product trademarks • Patents • Customer contracts 3 – 7 years 4 – 10 years 13 – 15 years 10 – 17 years Useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted where relevant. 80 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Note 1 Note 2 Note 3 Note 4 Note 5 Note 6 Note 7 Note 8 Note 9 Note 10 Note 11 Note 12 Note 13 Note 14 Note 15 Note 16 Note 17 Note 18 Note 19 Note 20 Note 21 Note 22 Note 23 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital investment For the year ended 30 September 2019 11. Impairment of goodwill and non-current assets Impairment testing of goodwill The Group’s impairment testing at 30 September 2019 resulted in no impairment of any CGU as the recoverable amounts of IPL’s CGUs, being IPF, SCI, DNAP and DNA exceeded their carrying amounts. The events announced by the Group in 2019 included the rail outage caused by extreme weather events in northern Queensland that impacted the 2019 financial results of the SCI CGU and gas supply restrictions as a result of a gas pipeline rupture that impacted the financial results of the DNA CGU. The financial impacts of these events were not considered structural long-term changes that impact future cash flows of the CGUs. As a result, the recoverable amounts of IPL’s CGUs continued to exceed their carrying amounts at 30 September 2019. Key assumptions Details of the key assumptions used in the recoverable amount calculations at 30 September are set out below: Key assumptions DAP(1) Urea(2) Gas (DNA CGU)(3) Ammonia(4) AUD:USD(5) 1 – 5 years 2019 US$ 340 to 455 275 to 332 2.65 to 3.29 310 to 389 0.68 to 0.73 2018 US$ 380 to 463 260 to 343 3.00 to 3.45 300 to 389 0.75 to 0.76 Terminal value (after 5 years) 2019 US$ 518 379 3.11 444 0.73 2018 US$ 523 366 3.43 406 0.75 (1) Di-Ammonium Phosphate price (FOB Tampa – USD per tonne). (2) Granular Urea price (FOB Middle East – USD per tonne). (3) Henry Hub natural gas price (USD per mmbtu). (4) Ammonia price (CFR Tampa – USD per tonne). (5) AUD:USD exchange rate. For both DNAP and IPF, the gas price assumption for the period after the current gas contracts expire, is based on a long term gas production cost forecast of between $6.70 and $7.00 per gigajoule. Fertiliser prices, foreign exchange rates and natural gas prices are estimated by reference to external market publications and market analyst estimates, and are updated at each reporting date. Discount and growth rates The post-tax discount rate used in the calculations is 9% (2018: 9%) for the IPF and SCI CGUs and 8.5% for the DNA and DNAP CGUs (2018: 8.5%). The rate reflects the underlying cost of capital adjusted for market and asset specific risks. The terminal value growth rate represents the forecast consumer price index (CPI) of 2.5% (2018: 2.5%) for all CGUs. Sensitivity analyses Included in the table below is a sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amounts and, where applicable, the impairment charge considering reasonable change scenarios relating to key assumptions at 30 September 2019: Post-tax discount rate Terminal value growth rate +0.5% -1.0% Natural gas price +AU$1 per gigajoule DNAP – Value-in-use – Impairment charge AU$mill AU$mill AU$mill (191.1) – (290.5) (69.6) (53.5) – DNA – Value-in-use – Impairment charge SCI – Value-in-use – Impairment charge Post-tax discount rate +0.5% Ammonia price -US$50 per tonne US$mill US$mill Terminal value growth rate -1.0% US$mill (323.6) – Post-tax discount rate (373.0) – AUD:USD exchange rate (466.5) – Terminal value growth rate +0.5% +5c AU$mill (67.7) – Post-tax discount rate +0.5% AU$mill (355.7) – Urea price -US$50 per tonne -1.0% AU$mill (132.5) – Terminal value growth rate -1.0% Natural gas price +US$1 per mmbtu US$mill (307.8) – DAP Price -US$50 per tonne AU$mill (605.0) (244.2) Natural gas price +AUD1 per gigajoule IPF – Value-in-use – Impairment charge AU$mill AU$mill AU$mill AU$mill (66.2) – (223.3) – (95.1) – (114.1) – Each of the sensitivities above assumes that a specific assumption moves in isolation, while all other assumptions are held constant. A change in one of the aforementioned assumptions could be accompanied by a change in another assumption, which may increase or decrease the net impact. Impairment of other property, plant and equipment During the year ended 30 September 2019 property, plant and equipment was impaired by $11.5m (2018: $4.0m) as a result of the Group’s fixed asset verification procedures and the abandonment of certain assets. As at 31 March 2016, the Group recognised a non-cash impairment charge of $150.8m against the Gibson Island assets largely due to the impact of lower forecast fertiliser prices and higher cost of natural gas delivered to the Australian East Coast. In 2018, the Group announced that it had entered into a joint operation with Central Petroleum Limited for the development of acreage in Queensland that could deliver economic gas to the Gibson Island manufacturing facility in future. If feasibility of the acreage development is proven, gas could be available from 2022. In June 2019, the Group announced that it had entered into multiple arrangements for the supply of gas to allow continuation of manufacturing operations at its Gibson Island plant through to 31 December 2022. As the long term gas supply of Gibson Island facility remains dependent on the outcome of the gas acreage development, there was no reversal of the previously recognised impairment or any further impairment charge. Any potential reversal of the previous impairment will be dependent on the results of the drilling activities and other economic factors at that time.

Impairment of goodwill and non-current assets (continued) Key accounting policies Impairment testing The Group performs annual impairment testing as at 30 September for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. More frequent reviews are performed for indicators of impairment of all the Group’s assets, including operating assets. The identification of impairment indicators involves management judgement. Where an indicator of impairment is identified, a formal impairment assessment is performed. The Group’s annual impairment testing determines whether the recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs, to which goodwill and/or indefinite life intangible assets are allocated, exceeds its carrying amount. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash flows largely independent of cashflows of other groups of assets. Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets are allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs which are no larger than one of the Group’s reportable segments. Determining the recoverable amount The recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and its value-in- use. Value-in-use is a term that means an asset’s value based on the expected future cash flows arising from its continued use in its current condition, discounted to present value. For discounting purposes, a post-tax rate is used that reflects current market assessments of the risks specific to the asset. The Group has prepared value-in-use models for the purpose of impairment testing as at 30 September 2019, using five year discounted cash flow models based on Board approved forecasts. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using a terminal value growth rate. Impairment losses An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset (or its CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated against assets in the following order: • Firstly, against the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU. • Secondly, against the carrying amount of any remaining assets in the CGU. An impairment loss recognised in a prior period for an asset other than goodwill (or its CGU) may be reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of the asset (or its CGU) since the last impairment loss was recognised. When this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. Key estimates and judgments The Group is required to make significant estimates and judgments in determining whether the carrying amount of its assets and/or CGUs has any indication of impairment, in particular in relation to: • key assumptions used in forecasting future cash flows; • discount rates applied to those cash flows; and • Such estimates and judgments are subject to change as a result of changing economic, operational, environmental and weather conditions. Actual cash flows may therefore differ from forecasts and could result in changes in the recognition of impairment charges in future periods. the expected long term growth in cash flows. 82 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 12. Commitments Capital expenditure commitments Capital expenditure contracted but not provided for or payable at 30 September: no later than one year later than one, no later than five years 2019 $mill 72.5 – 2018 $mill 84.2 – 72.5 84.2 Lease commitments Non-cancellable operating lease commitments comprise a number of operating lease arrangements for the provision of certain property and equipment. These leases have varying durations and expiry dates. The future minimum rental commitments are as follows at 30 September: no later than one year later than one, no later than five years later than five years 2019 $mill 43.8 98.4 91.1 233.3 2018 $mill 40.9 99.6 101.0 241.5 Key accounting policies Leases are accounted for as either finance leases or operating leases. Finance leases Under the terms of a finance lease, the Group assumes most of the risks and benefits associated with ownership of the leased asset. Assets subject to finance leases are measured at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period that benefits are expected to flow from its use. A corresponding liability is established for the lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between finance charges and reduction of the liability. Operating leases Under the terms of an operating lease, the Group does not assume the risks and benefits associated with ownership of the leased asset. Payments made under operating leases are shown as lease payments in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Issued standards not early adopted AASB 16 specifies how to recognise, measure and disclose leases. Under AASB 16, the present value of these commitments would be shown as a liability on the balance sheet together with an asset representing the right-of-use. The Group does not intend to bring short term leases (12 months or less) or low value leases on balance sheet. The Group will apply AASB 16 with effect from 1 October 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. In accordance with this approach, the lease liability will be calculated using the incremental borrowing rate at date of transition. The difference between the asset and liability (net of tax), will be recognised as an adjustment to opening retained earnings on 1 October 2019 with no restatement to comparative information. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital investment For the year ended 30 September 2019 12. Commitments (continued) 13. Equity accounted investments Key accounting policies (continued) The Group has implemented new lease accounting software to calculate the AASB 16 adjustments and has substantially completed its implementation assessment of the new standard. However, certain judgmental aspects of the implementation of the standard, including the determination of lease terms of leases with options remains under review. Preliminary estimates of the impacts as a result of adopting the new standard are as follows: The Group has performed an analysis of the statements of financial position and the results of each of its joint ventures and associates (as listed in note 14) at 30 September 2019 and considers them to be individually immaterial to the Group. As a result, no individual disclosures are included for the Group’s investments in joint ventures and associates. Included in the table below is the summarised financial information of the Group’s joint ventures and associates at 30 September: • At 1 October 2019, total assets are estimated to increase by Carrying amount of joint ventures and associates a range of $200 million to $220 million due to the recognition of a right-of-use asset; and total liabilities are estimated to increase by a range of $220 million to $240 million due to the recognition of a lease liability. The net impact will be recognised as an adjustment to retained earnings in equity. • For the year ending 30 September 2020, operating lease expenses will be replaced by a depreciation charge for the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liabilities. Depreciation expense is expected to increase by a range of $35 million to $40 million and interest expense is expected to increase by a range of $4 million to $7 million. • Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is estimated to increase by a range of $3 million to $5 million and Net profit after tax (NPAT) is expected to decrease by a range of $1 million to $3 million. • For the year ending 30 September 2020 cashflows from operating activities are expected to increase and cashflows from financing activities are expected to decrease by a range of $35 million to $45 million. These numbers are based on the work completed to date. The actual financial impact on the results for the 30 September 2020 financial year will be dependent on any new leases that are entered into during the financial year, certain judgmental aspects including finalisation of lease option extension periods and the impact of foreign currency translation of international lease arrangements.

Provisions and contingencies Provisions at 30 September 2019 are analysed as follows: 30 September 2019 Carrying amount at 1 October 2018 Provisions made during the year Provisions written back during the year Payments made during the year Interest unwind Foreign exchange movement Carrying amount at 30 September 2019 Current Non-current Employee entitlements $mill Restructuring and rationalisation $mill Environmental $mill Asset retirement obligations $mill Legal and other $mill Total provisions $mill 54.1 8.3 (0.6) (3.6) 0.6 0.1 58.9 53.5 5.4 2.1 11.7 (0.3) (6.7) – 0.1 6.9 5.2 1.7 48.2 4.6 (0.2) (8.8) 0.3 1.8 45.9 16.7 29.2 70.9 9.6 (3.7) – 3.5 1.7 82.0 2.4 79.6 4.3 6.4 (0.3) (1.7) – 0.2 8.9 8.3 0.6 179.6 40.6 (5.1) (20.8) 4.4 3.9 202.6 86.1 116.5 Key accounting policies Provisions are measured at management’s estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. This estimate is based on a “present value” calculation, which involves the application of a discount rate to the expected future cash flows associated with settlement. The discount rate takes into account factors such as risks specific to the liability and the time value of money. Employee entitlements Provisions are made for liabilities to employees for annual leave, long service leave and other employee entitlements. Where the payment to employees is expected to take place in 12 months time or later, a present value calculation is performed. In this instance, the corporate bond rate is used to discount the liability to its present value. Restructuring and rationalisation Provisions for restructuring or rationalisation are only recognised when a detailed plan has been approved and the restructuring or rationalisation has either commenced or been publicly announced. Environmental Provisions relating to the remediation of soil, groundwater, untreated waste and other environmental contamination are made when the Group has an obligation to carry out the clean-up operation as a result of a past event. In addition, a provision will only be made where it is possible to reliably estimate the costs involved. Asset retirement In certain circumstances, the Group has an obligation to dismantle and remove an asset and to restore the site on which it is located. The present value of the estimated costs of this process is recognised as part of the asset that is depreciated and also as a provision. At each reporting date, the provision is remeasured in line with changes in discount rates and the timing and amount of future estimated cash flows. Any changes in the provision are added to or deducted from the related asset, other than changes associated with the passage of time. This is recognised as a borrowing cost in the profit or loss. 86 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Legal and other There are a number of legal claims and other exposures, including claims for damages arising from products and services supplied by the Group, that arise from the ordinary course of business. A provision is only made where it is probable that a payment or restitution will be required and the costs involved can be reliably estimated. Key estimates and judgments Provisions are based on the Group’s estimate of the timing and value of outflows of resources required to settle or satisfy commitments and liabilities known to the Group at the reporting date. Contingencies The following contingent liabilities are considered unlikely. However the directors consider they should be disclosed: • Under the terms of the ASIC Legislative Instrument, ASIC Corporations (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission dated 17 December 2016, which relieved certain wholly-owned subsidiaries from the requirement to prepare audited financial statements, IPL and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries (identified in note 14) have entered into an approved deed for the cross guarantee of liabilities. No additional liabilities subject to the Deed of Cross Guarantee at 30 September 2019 are expected to arise to IPL or the relevant subsidiaries. • The Group is regularly subject to investigations and audit activities by the revenue authorities of jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The outcome of these investigations and audits depends upon several factors which may result in further tax payments or refunds of tax payments already made by the Group over and above existing provisions. • Contingent liabilities arise in the normal course of business and include a number of legal claims, environmental clean- up requirements and bank guarantees. The Directors are of the opinion that no additional provisions are required in respect of these matters, as it is either not probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement.

Financial risk management The Group is exposed to financial risks including liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk. This note explains the Group’s financial risk exposures and its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. The Board of Directors (the Board) has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Board established the Audit and Risk Management Committee (ARMC) which is responsible for, amongst other things, the monitoring of the Group’s risk management plans. The ARMC is assisted in its oversight role by the Group’s Risk Management function. The Risk Management function performs reviews of the Group’s risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the ARMC. The ARMC reports regularly to the Board on its activities. The Group’s financial risk management framework includes policies to identify, analyse and manage the Group’s financial risks. These policies set appropriate financial risk limits and controls, identify permitted derivative instruments and provide guidance on how to monitor and report financial risks and adherence to set limits. Financial risk management policies, procedures and systems are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain appropriate given changes in market conditions and/or the Group’s activities. Financial risks Liquidity risk: The risk that the Group is not able to refinance its debt obligations or meet other cash outflow obligations when required. Source of risk Exposure to liquidity risk derives from the Group’s operations and from the external interest bearing liabilities that it holds. This includes stress testing of critical assumptions such as input costs, sales prices, production volumes, exchange rates and capital expenditure. Risk mitigation Liquidity risk is managed by ensuring there are sufficient committed funding facilities available to meet the Group’s financial commitments in a timely manner. The Group’s forecast liquidity requirements are continually reassessed based on regular forecasting of earnings and capital requirements. The Group aims to hold a minimum liquidity buffer of at least $500m in undrawn non-current committed funding to meet any unforeseen cash flow requirements. Details on the Group’s committed finance facilities, including the maturity dates of these facilities, are included in note 8. Outstanding financial instruments The Group’s exposures to liquidity risk are set out in the tables below: 30 September 2019 Non-derivative financial liabilities Interest bearing liabilities Contractual cash flows(1) $mill 0 – 12 months $mill 1 – 5 years $mill more than 5 years $mill 30 September 2018 Contractual cash flows(1) $mill 0 – 12 months $mill 1 – 5 years $mill more than 5 years $mill 2,656.4 1,213.4 300.4 1,142.6 Non-derivative financial liabilities Interest bearing liabilities 2,374.8 212.9 1,613.4 548.5 Interest payments 357.5 57.9 191.7 107.9 Interest payments 288.0 72.3 128.0 87.7 Trade and other payables 1,169.4 1,152.0 Bank guarantees 146.4 44.3 17.4 21.4 – Trade and other payables 1,058.6 1,045.0 80.7 Bank guarantees 126.8 49.2 13.6 2.9 – 74.7 Total non-derivative cash outflows Derivative financial (assets)/liabilities Forward exchange contracts Cross currency interest rate swaps Interest rate swaps Interest rate options Commodity swaps Net derivative cash outflows 4,329.7 2,467.6 530.9 1,331.2 Total non-derivative cash outflows Derivative financial (assets)/liabilities 3,848.2 1,379.4 1,757.9 710.9 (5.6) (5.6) – – Forward exchange contracts 1.0 1.0 37.1 6.0 23.0 0.7 46.7 8.0 – 0.7 (9.5) 7.6 23.0 – (0.1) (9.6) – – 61.2 49.8 21.1 (9.7) Cross currency interest rate swaps Interest rate swaps Interest rate options Commodity swaps Net derivative cash outflows – – (12.7) (7.9) 14.5 (0.9) – 14.5 (13.6) (10.5) (12.2) (12.2) – – – – (2.6) – (20.8) 2.4 (20.6) (2.6) (1) Contractual cash flows are not discounted, include interest amounts payable, and are based on foreign exchange rates at year end.

Financial risk management (continued) Financial risks (continued) Market risk: The risk that changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices will affect the Group’s earnings, cash flows and the carrying values of its financial instruments. Foreign exchange risk Source of risk Risk mitigation The Group is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates (primarily in USD) on the following transactions and balances: Foreign exchange exposure to sales and purchases is managed by entering into formal hedging arrangements. l Sales and purchases l Trade receivables and trade payables l Interest bearing liabilities The Group is also exposed to foreign exchange movements (primarily in USD) on the translation of the earnings, assets and liabilities of its foreign operations. The Group hedges both specific transactions and net exposures by entering into foreign exchange rate derivative contracts. The translation risk of USD denominated interest bearing liabilities and net investments in foreign operations and their earnings is also managed by entering into foreign exchange rate derivative financial instruments.

Outstanding financial instruments and sensitivity analysis The table below includes the Group’s derivative contracts that are exposed to changes in natural gas and oil prices at 30 September: Natural gas Contracts maturing within 1 year Natural gas swaps fixed payer Contracts maturing between 1 and 5 years Natural gas swaps fixed payer Total volume (MMBTU)(1) 2019 Price/Strike USD(2) 2019 Total volume (MMBTU)(1) 2018 Price/Strike USD(2) 2018 1,307,800 2.58 396,000 2.68 1,421,200 2.53 554,400 2.68 (1) Million Metric British Thermal Units (2) Nymex Henry Hub gas price Total volume (barrels) 2019 Price USD(1) 2019 Total volume (barrels) 2018 Price USD(1) 2018 Oil(2) Contracts maturing within 1 year Oil swaps fixed payer 100,035 58.48 267,186 48.84 (1) Oil-Brent (DTD)-Platts Marketwire (2) The Group has a gas supply agreement in Australia with pricing referenced to the USD Brent oil price. As a result, the Group holds Brent oil fixed price swaps to eliminate the exposure to changes in the Brent oil price. Natural gas price sensitivity on outstanding financial instruments The table below shows the sensitivity of the Group’s equity before tax to a change of US$1 per MMBTU in the US Henry Hub natural gas price. The sensitivity is based on natural gas derivative contracts held by the Group at 30 September. Gains or losses recognised in equity will be reclassified to the profit or loss as the underlying forecast transaction occurs: Natural gas price sensitivity + US$1 per 1 MMBTU AUD mill 2019 - US$1 per 1 MMBTU AUD mill 2019 + US$1 per 1 MMBTU AUD mill 2018 - US$1 per 1 MMBTU AUD mill 2018 Henry Hub USD 4.0 (4.0) 1.3 (1.3) 90 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Risk mitigation Price risk exposure is managed by entering into long term contracts with suppliers and customers where possible. Where commodity price exposures cannot be eliminated through contracted and/or other commercial arrangements, the Group may enter into derivative contracts where available on a needs basis, to mitigate this risk. However, in some instances price risk exposure cannot be economically mitigated by either contractual arrangements or derivative contracts. Sensitivity to natural gas price movements during the year The table below shows the sensitivity of the Group’s profit before tax to a change of US$1 per MMBTU in the US Henry Hub natural gas price. The sensitivity is based on the average natural gas price, the average AUD:USD exchange rate (excluding the impact of hedging) and the current annual natural gas consumption of the Group’s manufacturing operations in the Americas that are exposed to changes in natural gas prices: Natural gas price sensitivity + US$1 per 1 MMBTU AUD mill 2019 - US$1 per 1 MMBTU AUD mill 2019 + US$1 per 1 MMBTU AUD mill 2018 - US$1 per 1 MMBTU AUD mill 2018 Henry Hub USD (32.2) 32.2 (34.9) 34.9 Sensitivity to fertiliser price and ammonia movements during the year The table below shows the sensitivity of the Group’s profit before tax to a US$10 per tonne change in Ammonium Phosphates, Urea and Ammonia prices. The sensitivity is based on actual tonnes manufactured and sold by the Group that is sensitive to commodity price changes and the average AUD:USD exchange rate (excluding the impact of hedging) for the year: Price sensitivity 2019 Granular Urea (FOB Middle East) DAP/MAP (FOB Tampa) Urea (FOB NOLA) Ammonia (FOB Tampa) 2018 Granular Urea (FOB Middle East) DAP/MAP (FOB Tampa) Urea (FOB NOLA) Ammonia (FOB Tampa) + US$10 per tonne AUD mill - US$10 per tonne AUD mill 3.5 9.6 2.7 7.0 4.4 11.3 2.3 8.6 (3.5) (9.6) (2.7) (7.0) (4.4) (11.3) (2.3) (8.6) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Risk management For the year ended 30 September 2019 16.

The cross currency interest rate swaps hedging the foreign currency exposure of the Group’s USD and HKD borrowings have a contract value of USD800m and HKD560m, and are economic hedges of an equivalent amount of the Group’s USD and HKD borrowings. (5) Interest rate swap contracts effectively convert USD800m, HKD560m and AUD250m of the Group’s fixed interest rate borrowings to floating interest rates. The fair value hedge adjustment of a hedged item where the hedging instrument is discontinued remains in the carrying amount of the hedged item and is amortised to the profit or loss over the life of the hedged item. (6) Derivatives which are classified as held for trading are in economic hedge relationships that do not qualify for hedge accounting. These hedges are effective economic hedges or offsetting hedges based on contractual amounts and cash flows over the life of the underlying item.

Financial risk management (continued) Financial risks (continued) Credit risk: The risk of financial loss to the Group as a result of customers or counterparties to financial assets failing to meet their contractual obligations. Source of risk Credit risk exposure The Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk from trade and other receivables and financial instrument contracts that are outstanding at the reporting date. Risk mitigation The Group minimises the credit risk associated with trade and other receivables balances by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers in various countries. The creditworthiness of customers is reviewed prior to granting credit, using trade references and credit reference agencies. Credit limits are established and monitored for each customer, and these limits represent the highest level of exposure that a customer can reach. Trade credit insurance is purchased when required. The Group mitigates credit risk from financial instrument contracts by only entering into transactions with counterparties that have sound credit ratings and, where applicable, with whom the Group has a signed netting agreement. Given their high credit ratings, the Group does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. Fair value Fair value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities is calculated using a variety of techniques depending on the type of financial instrument as follows: • • • • • The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities traded in active markets (such as equity securities and fixed interest rate bonds) is the quoted market price at the reporting date. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities not traded in active markets is calculated using discounted cash flows. Future cash flows are calculated based on observable forward interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The fair value of forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and forward contracts is calculated using discounted cash flows, reflecting the credit risk of various counterparties. Future cash flows are calculated based on the contract rate, observable forward interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The fair value of option contracts is calculated using the contract rates and observable market rates at the end of the reporting period, reflecting the credit risk of various counterparties. The valuation technique is consistent with the Black-Scholes methodology and utilises Monte Carlo simulations. The fair value of commodity swaps and commodity forward contracts is calculated using their quoted market price, where available. If a quoted market price is not available, then fair value is calculated using discounted cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on the difference between the contractual price and the current observable market price, reflecting the credit risk of various counterparties. These future cash flows are then discounted to present value. • The nominal value less expected credit losses of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term maturity. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at 30 September is the carrying amount, net of any provision for impairment, of the financial assets as detailed in the table below: Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Derivative assets 2019 $mill 364.1 576.4 22.8 963.3 2018 $mill 324.1 588.5 40.6 953.2 Financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and are intended to be settled on a net basis are offset in the Statement of Financial Position. At 30 September 2019, the amount netted in other financial assets and other financial liabilities is $371.7m (2018: $427.5m). Fair value hierarchy The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). • • 2019 Listed equity securities Derivative financial assets Derivative financial liabilities 2018 Listed equity securities Derivative financial assets Derivative financial liabilities Level 1 $mill – – – Level 1 $mill 2.3 – – Level 2 $mill – 22.8 (84.3) Level 2 $mill – 40.6 (25.7) Level 3 $mill – – – Level 3 $mill – – – Fair value of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost which equals their fair value. Interest bearing liabilities are carried at amortised cost and have a carrying value of $2,652.8m (2018: $2,374.8m) – refer to note 8. The fair value of the interest bearing financial liabilities at 30 September 2019 was $2,709.9m (2018: $2,374.5m) and was based on the level 2 valuation methodology.

Financial risk management (continued) Key accounting policies Foreign currency transactions and balances Cash flow hedges The Group presents its accounts in Australian dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the date the transaction occurs. Monetary assets (such as trade receivables) and liabilities (such as trade creditors) denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rate at 30 September. Non-monetary items (for example, plant and machinery) that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated. Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to transactions are recognised in the profit or loss with the exception of gains and losses arising from cash flow hedges and net investment hedges that are recognised in other comprehensive income. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated at applicable exchange rates at 30 September. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR). If and when the Group disposes of the foreign operation, these gains and losses are transferred from the FCTR to the profit or loss. Derivatives and hedging The Group uses contracts known as derivative financial instruments to hedge its financial risk exposures. On entering into a hedging relationship, the Group formally designates and documents details of the hedge, risk management objective and strategy for entering into the arrangement. The Group applies hedge accounting to hedging relationships that are expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value, i.e. where the cash flows arising from the hedge instrument closely match the cash flows arising from the hedged item. Hedge accounting is discontinued when: • The hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objective. • The hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. • The hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Derivatives are measured at fair value. The accounting treatment applied to specific types of hedges is set out below. Changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges are recognised in equity, in the cash flow hedge reserve. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in the profit or loss. Fair value gains or losses accumulated in the reserve are taken to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in the reserve is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is purchased. Net investment hedges Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation are accounted for in a similar way as cash flow hedges. Gains or losses on the effective portion of the hedge are recognised directly in equity (in the FCTR) while any gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in the profit or loss. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative value of gains or losses recognised in the FCTR are transferred to profit or loss. Fair value hedges The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item are recognised in the profit or loss. Hedge ineffectiveness The Group aims to transact only highly effective hedge relationships, and in most cases the hedging instruments have a 1:1 hedge ratio with the hedged items. However, at times, some hedge ineffectiveness can arise and is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it occurs. Key sources of hedge ineffectiveness for the Group are as follows: • Maturity dates of hedging instruments not matching the maturity dates of the hedged items. • Credit risk inherent within the hedging instrument not matching the movement in the hedged item. • Interest rates of the Group’s financing facilities not matching the interest rates of the hedging instrument. • Forecast transactions not occurring. Classification of financial instruments Financial instruments are classified into the following categories: • Amortised cost (cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing liabilities and trade and other receivables and payables). • Fair value through other comprehensive income (listed equity securities). • Fair value through profit or loss (derivative financial instruments except those that are in a designated hedge relationship).

Loans to key management personnel In the year ended 30 September 2019, there were no loans to key management personnel and their related parties (2018: nil). Other key management personnel transactions In the year ended 30 September 2019, there were no transactions entered into during the year with key management personnel (including their related parties). Incentive Plans The Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIs) are designed to link reward with the key performance drivers that underpin sustainable growth in shareholder value. With regard to the 2016/19, 2017/20 and 2018/21 Long Term Incentive Plans, the performance conditions comprise relative total shareholder return, the delivery of certain strategic initiatives and growth in return on equity. Certain Executives have been awarded performance rights under Short Term Incentive Plans (STIs) based on financial, safety and strategic outcomes. These arrangements support the Company’s strategy for retention and motivation of its executives. Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions Total expenses arising from share-based payment transactions recognised during the period as part of employee benefit expense were as follows: Accounting value of performance rights issued under the LTI and STI performance plans 2019 $mill 2018 $mill 1.6 3.2 2019 Number 2018 Number Number of performance rights outstanding under the LTI and STI performance plans 4,881,245 4,431,879 Details of the movements in LTI and STI performance rights are disclosed in the Remuneration Report. Key accounting policies The rights to shares granted to employees under the terms of the plans are measured at fair value. The fair value is recognised as an employee expense over the period that employees become unconditionally entitled to the rights. There is a corresponding increase in equity, which is reflected in the share based payments reserve. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of rights taken up, once related service and other non-market conditions are met.

The following table summarises how the defined benefit obligation as at 30 September 2019 would have increased/(decreased) as a result of a change in the respective assumption by 1 percentage point: Discount rate Rate of salary increase 1 percent increase (32.7) 1.6 1 percent decrease 39.8 (1.3) Key accounting policies All employees of the group are entitled to benefits from the Group’s superannuation plan on retirement, disability or death or can direct the group to make contributions to a defined contribution plan of their choice. The Group’s superannuation plan has a defined benefit section and a defined contribution section. The defined benefit section provides defined lump sum benefits based on years of service and final average salary. The defined contribution section receives fixed contributions from group companies and the Group’s legal or constructive obligation is limited to these contributions. The liability or asset recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in respect of defined benefit superannuation plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service costs. Contributions to the defined contribution section of the Group’s superannuation fund and other independent defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Key estimates and judgments The present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date is based on expected future payments arising from membership of the fund. This is calculated annually by independent actuaries considering the expected future wage and salary levels of employees, experience of employee departures and employee periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields on corporate bonds at the reporting date, which have terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Member of Deloitte Asia Pacific Limited and the Deloitte Network 100 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter Carrying value of goodwill and non- current assets Refer to Note 9 Property, plant and equipment, Note 10 Intangibles and Note 11 Impairment of goodwill and non-current assets As at 30 September 2019, the Group held goodwill of $2,724.5 million, intangible assets of $455.0 million and property, plant and equipment of $4,190.0 million, allocated to its group of cash generating units (CGUs). Our procedures included, but were not limited to: • Understanding the controls and process that management has undertaken to assess the recoverable amount • In conjunction with our valuation specialists: The assessment of the recoverable amount is subject to a high level of judgement and is based on management’s view of key variables and market conditions such as future commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and operating performance including the timing and approval of future capital and operating expenditure, and the most appropriate discount rates. As disclosed in note 11, the Group has prepared a value-in-use model to determine the recoverable amount of each CGU. The Group’s models are sensitive to changes in discount rates, natural gas prices, fertiliser prices (primarily Di-Ammonium Phosphate period terminal (DAP)) assumptions rates, including commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and production volumes. value growth and o Evaluating the appropriateness of the models used by management to calculate the value- in-use of the individual CGUs o Assessing key inputs to the models including revenue based on forecast commodity prices and production rates, costs including natural gas and sulphuric acid prices, capital expenditure, foreign exchange rates, discount rates and growth rates. We challenged these inputs by: ▪ Corroborating the key market based assumptions to external analysts’ reports, industry growth rates and published industry reports ▪ Corroborating the key non-market based assumptions by comparing forecasts to historical performance to test the accuracy of management’s projections, and ▪ Comparing the discount rates applied to each CGU with an independently developed rate • Agreeing relevant amounts in the models to the Board approved forecasts • Performing a range of sensitivity analysis including discount rates, natural gas prices, fertiliser prices and terminal value period assumptions including growth rates, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and production volumes. • Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the Notes to the financial statements.

The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 September 2019, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 102 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2019 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • • • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
