With a team of 5000 plus dedicated employees, we have a strong safety culture that we’re committed to building on. With iconic brands, leading technology solutions and great customers, we operate in the resilient markets of agriculture, mining and quarry and construction. And of course, we are committed to a greener, more sustainable world. We’re proud that so many of the significant breakthroughs in explosives technology history are connected to our business. And to this day, we remain dedicated to advanced technology through practical innovation. Dyno Nobel is IPL’s leading international explosives and blasting services business and one of the largest industrial explosives distributors in North America and Australia. Blasting is an essential step in extracting the minerals required to meet the world’s demand for power, infrastructure and consumer goods. Construction, mines, quarries and seismic explorers use Dyno Nobel products to achieve safety goals and improve operational efficiency. We’re proud to provide a full range of reliable explosives products from manufacturing plants around the world and extensive blasting services. In fact, we boast some of the most highly trained blasters and technical experts in the industry, and operate in Australia, Canada, the United States, Indonesia, Mexico, Chile, Papua New Guinea and Turkey. Our research & development focuses on practical ways to use new technologies to benefit our customers and include EZShot®, DigiShot®Plus.4G, DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY® and CyberDet I®. An ASX100 listed company, we are an international business with world-scale explosives and fertiliser manufacturing, marketing and servicing operations. IPL has two customer facing businesses, Dyno Nobel based in the Americas and Asia Pacific and Incitec Pivot Fertilisers, Australia’s largest integrated supplier of fertilisers. We are proud to be considered a trusted partner by customers and suppliers. Our explosives and fertiliser products are used to unlock resources ranging from gold, iron ore and quarry and construction materials to barley, wheat and cotton. Those resources contribute to new technologies to build electric vehicles, wind turbines and critical infrastructure and play an important role in enabling sustainable food production to meet the rapidly rising demand for food around the world. The challenge for us at IPL is to continue to help unlock the world’s natural resources while reducing our environmental footprint and working towards a long-term Net Zero future.

IPL leverages its nitrogen manufacturing expertise with a global approach to standards and processes, complemented and enhanced by regional oversight and operational discipline. 8 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021So look forward, but remember, glance down, for the soil beneath your feet is your future. Nurture it. Protect it. And seek out others who understand it. Incitec Pivot Fertilisers is transitioning from Australia’s leading fertiliser manufacturer and distributor to the nation’s leading soil health business. Our people, products and services support farming communities and contribute to our growers’ production, which in turn helps feed millions around the globe. Resilient, diverse and proud, we are driven by science, innovation and maximising soil potential. With a dedicated network of suppliers and agents across the east coast of Australia, as well as our NATA-accredited Nutrient Advantage Laboratory, IPF supports farmers with the crop nutrition insights and products they need to maximise yield potential in an efficient way. Further afield, we sell to major offshore agricultural markets in Asia Pacific, the Indian subcontinent, Brazil and the United States. Some of our leading brands include Granulock®, SuPerfect® and our patented de-nitrification inhibitor eNpower®. Steeped in history but forward looking. IPL – through its business Dyno Nobel – can be traced right back to Englishman William Bickford, who invented the safety fuse for explosives in 1831. Dyno Nobel founder Alfred Nobel would change the world with his invention of dynamite and detonators in 1865. To this day, we have an extensive Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio with many valuable patents. In recent times some of our biggest advancements include bulk products like DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY® and initiation systems such as DigiShot®Plus.4G. Our fertiliser history goes back to 1919 with the formation of the Phosphate Co-operative Company of Australia Limited. Many years later Pivot Limited and Incitec Fertilisers would merge (2003) to create IPL and three years later the Company’s fertiliser production capacity more than doubled with the purchase of Southern Cross Fertilisers. Incitec Pivot Fertilisers now boasts Australia’s oldest soil testing service and back in 2013 celebrated 50 years of providing continuous nutritional analytical services for farmers. With a rich technology heritage, IPL’s key technology drivers today are to improve safety, productivity & efficiency, and sustainability. And we continue to invest in the development of new technologies and our service offering. Today we’re also excited by the opportunities presented by renewable hydrogen for our business and our customers. We have partnered with global green energy company, Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) on a feasibility study into industrial-scale production of green ammonia at the company’s existing Gibson Island fertiliser manufacturing facility. We are also partnering with Keppel Infrastructure and Temasek to investigate green ammonia production at Newcastle and Gladstone in Australia. 9 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 202110 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021IPL STRATEGY SNAPSHOT With our newly refreshed purpose and ambition at the heart of our IPL strategy, we strive to be a safe, efficient and industry leading company.

NH3 14 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 202115 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021CHAIRMAN’S REPORT As our business successfully navigated another year of the global pandemic, we produced a strong overall performance and advanced our strategic agenda. Crucially, this has included a significant emphasis on sustainability, reflecting the growing focus in this area by our shareholders and other key stakeholders. We have embedded our sustainability agenda into our strategy and established our pathway to Net Zero. Our business proved resilient during 2021, with our core focus on the safety of our people, customers and communities. We reported a 51% increase in Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) excluding individually material items (IMIs) to A$566m. Our Net Profit after Tax (excluding IMIs) of A$359m, is up 91% compared to FY20, as the business benefited from a significant improvement in commodity pricing during the year. Our Dyno Nobel explosives business has shown resilience with the reduction in EBIT from A$380m last year to A$330m in FY21, largely reflecting the heavy manufacturing turnaround schedule and challenges we experienced with the restart of our Waggaman plant in the US. Pleasingly our premium technology offering is continuing to gain traction with our customers. We have been saying for some time that our Fertilisers business is well placed for improved commodity pricing and a strong agricultural season, and this really came to life in FY21. EBIT in our Fertilisers business increased from A$26m last year to A$268m in FY21. Consistent with our priority to reduce our net debt and maintain an investment grade credit profile, our Net Debt/EBITDA ratio reduced from 1.4x to 1.1x at year end. With the improved earnings performance, strong cash generation and balance sheet strength, the Board is pleased to announce a final dividend of 8.3 cents per share, taking our total dividend to 9.3 cents per share. We continue to focus on improving our return on invested capital (ROIC), which increased to 5.8% this year. The business is prioritising capital light, high return investment opportunities. We reluctantly decided to cease manufacturing at our Gibson Island facility, after being unable to secure an affordable long-term gas supply. Looking to the future, we’re excited about the potential to transition the facility to green ammonia production, which we’re investigating in partnership with Fortescue Future Industries. Sustainability and climate change have been a significant area of focus for the Board and management team. Over the past 12 months we have had many meetings with stakeholders, taking into account their views and input. We are responding by accelerating our efforts in exploring opportunities to help create a greener, more sustainable world. Our first Climate Change Report aligned to TCFD guidelines sets out our long-term ambition to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050, or sooner if practicable. Our short term 5% by 2025, and medium term 25% by 2030 absolute GHG reduction targets (against a 2020 baseline) demonstrate our commitment to decarbonising our manufacturing assets. This will ensure a just transition that continues to provide employment opportunities to the communities in which we operate. Our climate change management strategy includes a critical focus on leveraging our leading technology and manufacturing expertise to produce sustainable products with lower emissions for our customers. The Board will continue to focus on ensuring we have an appropriate capital structure to support the opportunities ahead for the business, as well as delivering strong returns for shareholders. As we continue to unlock the world’s natural resources, our strategic decisions will be guided by the need to meet our targets and deliver shareholder returns. 16 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Alongside this, we will continue to listen and respond to the valuable input of our stakeholders, including in relation to the ‘Say on Climate’ initiative, and we intend to put our climate-related disclosures to an advisory vote at our 2022 Annual General Meeting. This will support our continued transparency regarding IPL’s contribution to a lower-carbon future. The strong progress we have made across our strategic agenda positions us well for the future. This has given us a great opportunity to gain more insights into the business, our people and our customers. I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their contribution throughout the year, during which we welcomed Tonianne Dwyer as a Non-executive Director. Appointed in May, Tonianne has been a valuable addition, bringing to the Board extensive international experience as a company director and executive working in corporate finance, corporate strategy and mergers and acquisitions. Once again, our people have risen to the many challenges of COVID-19 and been outstanding in their response. Our people’s commitment to live our number one value, zero harm, kept everyone safe as we continued to operate and service our customers. I want to thank all our people for their incredible hard work and dedication to our great company. I also want to sincerely thank our Managing Director & CEO Jeanne Johns and the Executive Team for their impressive leadership. Brian Kruger Chairman In our Explosives business, our world-class blasting technology DeltaE continues to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint and this year we established a customer partnership to quantify the GHG reductions associated with the use of this technology. Our Fertilisers business is well positioned to benefit from favourable commodity prices and conditions as it grows to a sustainable soil health company. Our farming customers are benefiting from our soil health services and Precision Agriculture which lead to improved efficiency and effectiveness of fertiliser application. We see a lot of potential upside in our business from a step change in our manufacturing reliability following the heavy turnaround schedule that will be completed this year, as well as the pull through into our earnings from the continued growth of our premium technology in our explosives and fertilisers businesses. We are continuing to progress our commitment to increase the diversity of our workforce. Gender diversity remains above industry averages within our major regions and there have been increases in female representation at the Board and Executive levels and a talent pipeline build in Management and Professional roles. Diversity, equity and inclusion will be a core priority for the Board and the Executive Team in FY22. Across our global operations, all of us have had to adapt to the challenges of COVID-19 during 2021. For the Board this has unfortunately meant fewer opportunities to visit our people on the ground. While we will certainly make up for this when we can, we have continued to embrace technology to connect, including virtual site tours. 17 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Throughout 2021, safely manufacturing products that are vital to build cities and grow food, has never been more important. As the world continues to navigate the challenges of COVID-19, our strict protocols and resilient supply chains have enabled us to continue to safely operate and provide our resources and agricultural customers with the high-quality products, solutions and support they need for their businesses. At the same time, we have delivered strong financial results and continued to progress our strategy. While safety is our number one priority, the increased complexity and fatigue associated with COVID-19, coupled with improved reporting discipline at our sites, has negatively impacted our key safety metrics. We have responded by increasing our focus on safety improvements including targeted, site specific safety programs. I’m proud of our strong safety culture which is embedded in our refreshed company-wide safety training program, SafeTEAMS. Maintaining our business continuity and supporting our people has been a key focus during 2021 as they continue to manage the implications of COVID-19 across their work and personal lives. We have increased our global and localised wellbeing programs, rolled out vaccination support initiatives and invested in our Employee Assistance Program to provide ongoing support to our people and their families. Progressing our sustainability agenda and embedding sustainability in our strategy and operations has also been a significant area of focus and we were pleased to welcome Sunil Salhotra during the year as our new Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer. During the year we released our first stand-alone Climate Change Report which sets out our long-term ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2050 or sooner if practicable. We have accelerated our short term greenhouse gas reduction target announced last year and committed to a medium term 25% absolute reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, against a 2020 baseline. 18 Investigation of alternative hydrogen feedstocks for nitrogen-based products is part of our Net Zero pathway and we are partnering with Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) on a feasibility study at our Gibson Island fertiliser manufacturing facility. Considered one of Australia’s best near-term opportunities to produce green ammonia at an industrial scale, the recently announced partnership aligns with our vision to provide domestic and international customers with sustainable, low emissions products. It also provides the potential to transition Gibson Island to a renewable manufacturing future, following our recent decision to cease ammonia manufacturing because we have been unable to secure long term, affordable gas supply. Across our manufacturing portfolio, we will be focused on performance and executing our manufacturing excellence strategy across our high-quality plants. We are pleased to report that we delivered a strong financial performance in FY21. Earnings Before Interest and Tax (excluding individually material items) increased by 51% from last year to A$566m, reflecting a solid performance from our Explosives business and a dramatic improvement in our Fertilisers business. Our Dyno Nobel explosives business serves two highly attractive mining markets in the Americas and Australia. For our Dyno Nobel Americas business, EBIT was down 9% to US$141m, largely due to planned and unplanned outages at our Waggaman manufacturing facility. Our explosives business performed well, especially in the second half with earnings up 27% on second half last year, as our leading technology continues to underpin growth in the Base & Precious Metals markets. As the world responds to climate change, we continue to manage our exposure to coal, with the attractive base and precious metals and quarry and construction sectors now representing more than 80% of our business in the Americas. Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Our Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific business performed well, with strong growth from premium technology for the first time outpacing the last impacts of our recontracting cycle. EBIT was down A$9m to A$140m as the business absorbed the A$15m impact from the planned turnaround at Moranbah in the second half. Technology will continue to drive future growth in our Explosives business as our customers look to improve productivity and safety while reducing their environmental footprint. We continue to see strong demand for DeltaE and our premium emulsions, and we are also starting to see the benefits of our technology development work over the last couple of years with new products being used in the field. In June, we completed the first ever underground wireless detonator blast in Western Australia, using our new wireless offering, Dyno Nobel’s ground-breaking CyberDet I™. Our Fertilisers business delivered EBIT of A$268m in FY21, a significant increase from A$26m last year. The business benefited from an upswing in commodity prices which has supported farmer profitability, in turn driving demand across all agricultural inputs. We expect strong fertiliser volumes to continue due to favourable conditions across key agricultural markets on the east coast of Australia. As part of our strategy to transform our Fertilisers business into a soil health company, we continue to invest in Precision Agriculture and this year launched a new soil health testing package to farmers to improve the health and productivity of their soil. Four manufacturing turnarounds were completed across our operations in FY21. This included our first ever turnaround at our Waggaman plant. While we encountered more challenges than anticipated upon restart, Waggaman has since performed strongly and is well positioned to capture the ongoing commodity upcycle. In FY22, we have two turnarounds planned which will complete the current cycle and establish a platform for sustained reliable manufacturing performance. In July, we transitioned to a regional manufacturing structure which provides the regions greater accountability and oversight and ensures operational resources are available locally to deliver technical support. As part of the transition, President – Global Manufacturing & HSE Tim Wall left the company and I’d like to sincerely thank Tim for his considerable contribution to IPL. Our strategy is progressing well. Our premium technology continues to enable us to grow high quality revenue in attractive explosives sectors and markets, and we are ahead of our target to deliver technology driven earnings growth of 10% by FY22. Our manufacturing excellence strategy is well progressed with our new regional structure now in place, our response plan has been completed ahead of schedule and our investment in precision agriculture is gaining traction in our Fertilisers business. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Chief Financial Officer Nick Stratford who leaves us at the end of the year. Nick has made significant contributions to the business over his 12 years with the company and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. It is our people who make our company great, and I want to thank all our people across our global operations for their incredible hard work over the past year. I have admired how our people have overcome the challenges of COVID-19 and provided impressive service and support to our customers. Finally, I want to thank Brian Kruger and the Board for their leadership, support and wise counsel over the past 12 months. Looking ahead, your company is in a strong position as we enter FY22 with our Explosives and Fertilisers businesses well positioned to benefit from the continued execution of our strategy, as well as continued strength in commodity pricing. We have strong momentum and the right strategy to take full advantage of the positive conditions ahead.

Major movements for the year were as follows: Manufacturing Performance: The $47m net decrease was primarily incurred due to unplanned outages in North America. FY21 production rates in Australia were largely in line with nameplate. Hurricanes: Production at the Waggaman, LA, plant was impacted by two separate hurricanes. In order to protect staff and equipment, in anticipation of Hurricane Ida, the Waggaman plant was proactively brought down and secured. Despite Hurricane Ida being the second-most damaging and intense hurricane on record to make landfall in the U.S. State of Louisiana, the site suffered only minor physical damage. Once power was restored to the Waggaman site, the plant was quickly brought back to full production. Manufacturing Plant Turnarounds: FY21 was a heavy period for turnarounds, with the impact of COVID-19 causing some activity to be deferred from FY20 into FY21. The 4 turnarounds undertaken during the year had a negative impact on earnings of $122m. The planned turnarounds were undertaken at Mt. Isa, Qld, St. Helens, OR, Waggaman, LA and Moranbah, Qld. Americas Explosives: $20m net increase (excluding Response Plan benefits and the negative impact from manufacturing). Customer growth (principally in metals), COVID-19 demand recovery and increased earnings from technology was partially offset by a $7m earnings decline from soft US thermal coal demand. Asia Pacific Explosives: $3m net decrease (excluding Response Plan savings and the impact of the Moranbah turnaround). Increased earnings from technology and premium product sales were offset by the impacts of contract re-basing (now complete), loss of a metals customer and lower international earnings (largely COVID-19 related). Asia Pacific Fertilisers: $8m net decrease (excluding Response Plan savings and negative impacts related to planned turnarounds and a non-repeat insurance recovery received in FY20). A 2.7% increase in total fertiliser volumes sold was offset by costs related to an increased investment in distribution assets ($5m) and higher depreciation charges ($10m) as a result of the FY20 turnaround at Gibson Island. Commodity Prices & Foreign Exchange: $350m net increase. The favourable impact of $446m from higher commodity prices was partially offset by a $96m negative impact from a higher average A$:US$ exchange rate. Response Plan: $40m net benefit from sustainable cost savings (pcp: $20m). The full Response Plan target of $60m has been delivered 12 months early and is now complete. Interest Underlying interest expense (1) of $107m decreased $23m, or 17%, compared to pcp. The decrease was mainly due to lower debt following the $646m equity raising in 2020 having a favourable impact of $20m. This was partially offset by a $14m increase relating to the buyback of long-term bonds. A favourable movement in the A$:US$ exchange rate and lower interest rates compared to pcp benefited interest expense by approximately $8m and $9m respectively. Interest expense also includes Lease interest, Amortisation of line fees and Provision discount unwind expense. Tax The Group’s effective tax rate on operating profit of 21% is unchanged from the 21% reported in the pcp. Tax expense (excluding IMIs) of $95m was $44m higher than the pcp, consistent with higher earnings. Individually Material Items NPAT includes the following items, classified as IMIs: IMIs Non-cash impairment of Cheyenne manufacturing assets Gibson Island gas manufacturing plant closure Gross A$m Tax A$m Net A$m 107.4 (28.0) 79.4 – Cash cost of closure 83.5 (25.1) 58.4 – Non-cash impairment of assets 102.5 (30.8) 71.7 Total 293.4 (83.9) 209.5 Cheyenne Impairment The further structural decline in thermal coal markets has been identified as an indicator of impairment that impacts DNA’s Cheyenne manufacturing plant, and specifically the nitric acid production utilisation rates. The future reconfiguration of the plant to reduce Nitric acid production capacity in line with lower market volumes, resulted in an impairment of $107.4m. Gibson Island manufacturing plant closure Despite extensive efforts, IPL had been unable to secure an economically viable long-term gas supply for its Gibson Island plant beyond its current contract. As a result, IPL decided to cease manufacturing operations at the site at the end of the current gas supply arrangements, which expire in December 2022. The majority of the cash costs associated with the closure ($58m after tax) are expected to be incurred in FY23. IPL’s Brisbane fertiliser distribution capability will continue beyond the closure of the manufacturing operations. (1) Underlying interest expense represents total borrowing costs less non-cash interest unwind, representing the discount unwind on the Group’s long-term liabilities. 22 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021FINANCIAL POSITION Liabilities BALANCE SHEET A$m Assets TWC – Fertilisers APAC TWC – Explosives Group TWC Net PP&E Lease assets Year ended 30 September 30 Sep 2021 30 Sep 2020 Change A$m (120.6) (151.1) 241.3 165.9 30.5 75.4 120.7 14.8 105.9 3,928.9 4,071.7 (142.8) 214.5 221.1 (6.6) Intangible assets 3,000.9 3,019.7 (18.8) » Environmental & restructure liabilities: Increase of $81m.

Mainly due to market value movements and maturities of derivative hedging instruments (excluding debt hedges) of $293m, partially offset by an increase in capital accruals of $21m. » Net Debt: Decrease of $25m. Mainly due to strong cash generation driven by rising commodity prices offset by a reduction in the use of trade working capital financing facilities (-$80m), payments related to sustenance capital expenditure (-$304m) and a $274m decrease in balance sheet derivatives.

The decrease was mainly due to the unwind of derivatives that hedged the foreign exchange rate exposure of the Group’s USD borrowings. FINANCIAL INDEBTEDNESS 30 Sep 2021 A$m 30 Sep 2020 A$m Change A$m Net debt (excluding hedges) 1,017 1,316 (299) » Trade Working Capital (TWC): Net increase of $106m. Lease liabilities The movement was mainly due to the lower utilisation of trade working capital financing facilities of $80m and increases in the Australian dollar equivalent of US dollar denominated inventory. Underlying trade working capital (excluding the impact of financing facilities) as a percentage of sales decreased by 2% compared with the pcp, reflecting strong cash flow focus. » Net Property, Plant & Equipment (PP&E): Decrease of $143m. Mainly driven by the depreciation charge for the year of $303m and impairment of assets of $213m. This is partially offset by accrual spend on sustenance and turnaround capital expenditure of $318m and minor growth capital expenditure of $52m. » Intangible Assets: Decrease of $19m. Mainly driven by the amortisation charge for the year of $23m and the impact of foreign currency translation of non-A$ denominated assets of $8m. These movements were partially offset by additions (including goodwill) of $12m. Trade working capital financing facilities Total Financial Indebtedness 1,592 1,976 243 332 248 412 (5) (80) (384) Financial indebtedness reduced by $384m through the year. Net debt (excluding hedges) reduced by $299m mainly due to strong operating cashflows ($730m - excluding $80m of trade working capital facilities reduction) offset by sustenance capital expenditure ($304m) and growth capital expenditure ($51m). Reliance on trade working capital financing facilities has been reduced by over $300m since March 2020 to a sustainable level of $332m at year end. (1) Average TWC as % of revenue = 13-month average trade working capital excluding financing facilities/12 months rolling revenue. 23 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Credit Metrics Capital Allocation IPL’s capital allocation process is centralised and overseen by the Group’s Corporate Finance function. Capital is invested on a prioritised basis and all submissions are assessed against risk factors including HSE, sustainability, operational, financial and other strategic risks. Capital is broadly categorised into major growth capital, minor growth capital and sustenance capital. The table below includes a summary of cash spend per business on growth and sustenance capital: IPL GROUP Capital Expenditure DNA DNAP Fertilisers Minor growth capital DNA DNAP Fertilisers Sustenance Total Year ended 30 September FY21 A$m FY20 A$m Change A$m 24.6 18.6 8.0 51.2 165.5 75.8 62.5 303.8 355.0 18.6 34.7 6.9 60.2 50.8 25.5 141.9 218.2 278.4 6.0 (16.1) 1.1 (9.0) 114.7 50.3 (79.4) 85.6 76.6 There were no major growth capital spend items in FY21. Minor growth spend of $51m in FY21 included plant efficiency projects and other projects supporting volume growth and technology investments. Sustenance capital spend in FY21 of $304m was $86m higher than pcp, largely due to the heavy turnaround program in FY21 plus the additional costs previously disclosed related to the post turnaround issues at Waggaman, LA. Turnaround spend across the Group for FY21 was $150m. The remaining sustenance spend was made up of various sustenance projects with the vast majority of project values being less than $5m each. Net Debt/EBITDA: The ratio of 1.1x improved by 0.3x compared with the pcp. The improvement is primarily a result of higher earnings in FY21 with EBITDA (ex IMIs) improving 28% over the pcp. Interest Cover: Improved to 9.7x (pcp: 6.1x). Credit Ratings: Investment Grade credit ratings remained unchanged: » S&P: BBB (stable outlook) » Moody’s: Baa2 (stable outlook) Debt Facilities IPL has sufficient liquidity and headroom with $769m of available undrawn committed debt facilities at 30 September 2021. The average tenor of the Group’s debt facilities at 30 September 2021 is 5.1 years (September 2020: 5.1 years). No committed debt facilities are due to mature until April 2024. In March 2021, IPL cancelled its US domiciled Syndicated Term facility (US$500m) and its Australian domiciled Syndicated Term facility (A$122m and US$109m). Both facilities were due to mature in October 2021. These cancelled facilities were replaced by a Syndicated Term facility domiciled in Australia and consisting of two tranches: Tranche A has a limit of A$490m and Tranche B has a limit of US$200m. The facility matures in April 2024. In November 2020, following invitations to the holders of the Group’s outstanding notes under the EMTN and AMTN programmes to tender their notes, IPL repurchased US$94m of its US$400m Reg-S bond and A$19m of its A$450m AMTN bond. Trade Working Capital Facilities IPL uses TWC facilities to effectively manage the Group’s cash flows, which are impacted by seasonality, 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 2021, receivables totalling $124m (30 September 2020: $116m) 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 2021 was $208m (30 September 2020: $296m). 24 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021CASH FLOW Operating Cash Flow CASH FLOW Operating Cash Flow EBITDA ex IMIs Net Interest paid Net income tax paid Year ended 30 September FY21 A$m FY20 A$m Change A$m 934.9 730.5 204.4 (108.7) (135.5) (33.1) (13.7) 26.8 (19.4) TWC movement (excl FX movements) (126.1) (8.4) (117.7) Profit from JVs and associates Dividends received from JVs Environmental and site clean-up Restructuring costs Other Non-TWC Operating Cash Flow Investing Cash Flow Minor growth capital Sustenance Payments – Central Petroleum Joint operation Proceeds from asset sales Repayments from JV Acquisition of subsidiaries & non-controlling interests (41.9) 44.6 (4.8) (19.1) (32.3) 30.9 (8.0) (8.0) 4.4 (10.4) (9.6) 13.7 3.2 (11.1) 14.8 650.2 545.1 105.1 (51.2) (60.2) 9.0 (303.8) (218.2) (85.6) (4.4) (9.8) 5.4 5.7 19.9 7.4 – (1.7) 19.9 (8.5) (23.4) 14.9 Payments for settlement of derivatives (0.1) (75.2) Investing Cash Flow Financing Cash Flow (342.4) (379.4) Dividends paid to members of IPL Lease liability payments Purchase of IPL shares for employees (19.4) (41.4) (1.0) (30.7) (41.9) (1.3) 75.1 37.0 11.3 0.5 0.3 Proceeds on issue of shares – 645.5 (645.5) Realised market value gain on derivatives Non-cash loss on translation of US$ Net Debt 8.5 10.3 (1.8) (225.9) (78.2) (147.7) Non-cash movement in Net Debt (4.1) (6.7) 2.6 Operating cash flows of $650m increased by $105m compared to the pcp. Significant movements included: EBITDA: Increased by $204m driven by favourable realised commodity price movements ($446m) partially offset by unfavourable movements in the A$:US$ exchange rate ($96m). Reduced manufacturing volumes resulting from planned turnarounds ($122m), extreme weather events ($32m) and unplanned plant outages ($47m) negatively impacted earnings. Downstream business earnings (excluding manufacturing, Response Plan savings and non-controllables) remained relatively flat compared with the pcp. The Response Plan delivered an additional $40m of sustainable cost savings, $10m ahead of the FY21 target. Net Interest Paid: Decreased by $27m, principally as a result of lower average drawn debt levels following the Group’s $646m equity raising in 2020, favourable foreign exchange movements and lower interest rates. This was partially offset by one-off interest payments relating to bond repurchases. TWC Movement: $118m increase compared to the pcp largely as a result of lower usage of trade working capital financing facilities (down $80m on pcp). Dividends received from JV’s: Increased by $14m as a result of timing of payments and increased profits from JVs. Restructuring costs: Increased $11m due to payments against the Group’s Response Plan provisions raised in the FY20 financial year. Other Non-TWC: Improved $15m compared to the pcp largely as a result of timing of payments and accruals. Investing Cash Flow Net investing cash outflows of $342m decreased $37m as compared to the pcp. Significant movements included: Capital spend: Higher sustenance spend reflecting the heavy turnaround program in FY21 plus the additional costs previously disclosed related to the post turnaround issues at Waggaman, LA. Financing Cash Flow Change to Net debt (283.3) 497.0 (780.3) 24.5 662.7 (638.2) Loan repayment from JV: Cash inflow of $20m reflects the repayment of a loan provided to Queensland Nitrates Pty Ltd.

Significant movements included: Proceeds on issue of shares: The $646m unfavourable movement reflects the FY20 equity issue. No new equity was issued in FY21. Foreign Exchange on Net Debt: The year on year movement of $148m mainly reflects the net impact of the unwind of Net Debt hedges. The unwinding of the hedges was undertaken to simplify the balance sheet and align reported Net Debt with the Group’s cash position. 25 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021DYNO NOBEL AMERICAS Dyno Nobel Americas Explosives Waggaman Ag & IC Total Revenue Explosives Waggaman Ag & IC EBIT EBIT margin Explosives Waggaman Ag & IC A$m Revenue EBIT Year ended 30 September Change % 15 41 6 17 5 (89) 738 (9) FY21 US$m 883.3 175.9 133.5 FY20 US$m 768.4 124.5 126.0 1,192.7 1,018.9 126.7 121.1 3.6 10.9 32.4 1.3 141.2 154.8 14.3% 15.8% 2.0% 26.0% 8.2% 1.0% 1,588.7 1,506.5 189.9 230.8 5 (18) Dyno Nobel Americas FY21 earnings of US$141m decreased US$14m or 9% compared to the pcp. Outlined below are the major earnings movements during the year for each business. Explosives Business Performance Explosives earnings for FY21 of US$127m was US$6m higher than the pcp. principally due to the following: EBIT Margins: The pass through of higher US gas prices on sales of bulk ammonium nitrate has a negative impact on explosives EBIT margins. After adjusting for the impact of manufacturing outages and gas pass throughs, EBIT margins were 16%. Customer Growth: $11m growth in volumes, primarily driven by customer growth in Canada (Gold) and metals mining in western USA. Chile continues to see incremental volume increases through successful trials of premium products. Quarry & Construction volumes in the second half recovered from a slow first half to leave the full year just 1% down on the pcp. COVID-19 Recoveries: US$10m from increased international and domestic sales of initiating systems as a result of general recoveries from the COVID-19 lows of FY20. Coal Volumes: US$7m decline (unchanged from the first half). As forecast at the half year, coal volumes in the second half improved and were 2% above the pcp. This was a significant improvement on the first half where the business was impacted by bankruptcies in this sector. Response Plan: US$4m benefit from sustainable operational productivity measures, including cost efficiency gains. Manufacturing: The negative earnings impact of US$12m reflects the previously announced outages at the Cheyenne, WY. and Louisiana, MO plants. These plants recovered well and performed to plan in the second half. Market Summary Quarry & Construction 43% of Explosives revenue was generated from the Quarry & Construction sector in FY21 (43% pcp). After a slow, weather impacted first half, where volumes were down 5% on the pcp., volumes recovered through the second half to finish down just 1% on a full year basis. Base & Precious Metals 39% of Explosives revenue was generated from the Base & Precious Metals sector in FY21 (35% pcp). Volumes grew by 22% during the year with revenues growing 27% compared to the pcp. The primary drivers of these increases were gold volumes in Canada and sales into the metals markets in western regions of the US. Product trials in Chile continue to be successful with volumes increasing over the pcp. Coal 18% of Explosives revenue was generated from the Coal sector in FY21 (22% pcp). Volumes were down 12% versus the pcp. with customer closures in the Illinois coal basin adversely impacting DNA volumes compared to the overall market, which was flat year on year. Excluding the impact of the bankruptcies, DNA volumes into the coal sector were down 1% on the pcp. 26 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWCOVIDRecovery155EBIT US$m(21)(77)70(12)(7)10114(11)20141FY20EBITHurricanesManufacturing/TurnaroundsCommoditiesManufacturing/TurnaroundsCoalCustomerGrowthResponsePlanManufacturing/TurnaroundsCommoditiesFY21EBIT020406080100120140160180IncreaseDecreaseTotalWaggamanExplosivesAG & ICIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Agriculture & Industrial Chemicals (Ag & IC) AG & IC US$m Total Revenue EBIT EBIT margin Year ended 30 September FY21 US$m FY20 US$m Change % 133.5 126.0 10.9 8.2% 1.3 1.0% 6 738 Business Performance Ag & IC FY21 earnings of US$11m was US$10m more than the pcp., due to the following: Manufacturing/Turnaround: Earnings were negatively impacted by US$11m in FY21 because of the planned outage at the St. Helens, OR plant (US$5m), minor production issues (US$2m) and additional depreciation (US$3m).

Adverse Weather: As previously announced, the Waggaman site was proactively shut ahead of Hurricane Ida in order to protect site personnel and the plant. Despite the intensity of the storm, the site only suffered minor physical damage. Once power was restored, the plant was brought back to full production as per plan. The negative earnings impact of this outage, and a minor hurricane related outage from earlier in the year, was US$21m. Manufacturing Reliability: In total, the Waggaman plant produced 437k metric tonnes of Ammonia which was 40% lower than the pcp. Sales of Ammonia reduced by 23% compared to the pcp, with shortfalls in produced ammonia being replaced by third party supplies. Gas efficiency was adversely impacted by the plant outages, with gas usage per metric tonne of ammonia produced averaging 40 mmbtu/mt (35 pcp). Pre-turnaround, the plant had interruptions to production that resulted in 4 weeks of total downtime, the most consequential of which was caused by the failure of the regional power grid in the New Orleans area from Hurricane Zeta. As previously disclosed, the plant went through its first major turnaround during FY21. The plant entered the planned turnaround with several known maintenance issues, all of which were addressed as part of the turnaround activities. During the discovery phase and subsequent re-start process, a number of unexpected issues emerged including issues with the ammonia cooler, dry gas seals and the induced draft fan. These issues caused a further 6.5-week delay to full production. While the ammonia cooler (heat exchanger) was repaired during the turnaround, the initial fabrication issues prevented a permanent repair, requiring a replacement of the cooler in the next 6-18 months. An outage of up to 3 weeks is expected during FY22 or FY23 to allow installation. To date, the cooler has performed well with no signs of accelerated deterioration. The plant operated at nameplate production until it was deliberately brought down to protect the site personnel and the plant ahead of Hurricane Ida. Once power was restored to the site, the plant was re-started and brought back to full production as per plan. The disclosed estimate of a 4 week outage from Hurricane Ida was shortened by 4 days due to a flawless re-start. Post turnaround, and post the outage for Hurricane Ida, the plant has been operating reliably and in line with nameplate capacity. Gas efficiency has improved to efficiency levels previously achieved. Excluding the impact of the planned turnaround and adverse weather events, the additional outages referenced above had a negative earnings impact of US$19m. Ammonia Price: A strong upswing in ammonia prices in the second half favourably impacted full year earnings by US$70m. Discount to Tampa Ammonia price: The average discount to the Tampa benchmark, allowing for the one-month lag embedded in sales contracts, was approximately 5% in FY21. The FY21 average discount has been impacted by timing differences in the lost production and the rapid increase of the ammonia price, particularly in the second half of the financial year. “through the cycle” pricing for internal sales to the DNA Explosives business impacts the calculated average discount to the benchmark, particularly when ammonia prices are elevated. Approximately 20% of nameplate production is sold to the DNA Explosives business at prices that are not linked to movements in the Tampa benchmark. The remaining sales are priced at the Tampa benchmark price, less a discount that ranges between 6% and 8%, with the higher end of the range applying to prices above US$500/t. Other Manufacturing Manufacturing performance in the Explosives and Ag & IC businesses during FY21 was as follows: Cheyenne, Wyoming: Cheyenne ammonia operations were impacted by an unplanned outage caused by a bearing failure on the reciprocal compressor. As a result, ammonia production was down 5% compared to pcp. Nitric Acid production increased by 4% compared to pcp. Louisiana, Missouri: Louisiana operations were impacted by an unplanned outage caused by blade failure on the axial compressor. As a result, Nitric Acid production decreased by 14% compared with pcp. St Helens, Oregon: Urea and ammonia production from the St Helens plant decreased 19% and 16% respectively, compared to the pcp., mainly due to the planned turnaround. 27 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021DYNO NOBEL ASIA PACIFIC DYNO NOBEL ASIA PACIFIC Thousand metric tonne Ammonium Nitrate – manufactured at Moranbah Ammonium Nitrate sold A$m Australian Coal Base & Precious Metals International Total Revenue EBIT EBIT margin Year ended 30 September FY21 FY20 Change % 346.5 683.7 371.3 762.6 471.6 377.3 88.9 937.8 140.2 15.0% 472.4 415.5 111.3 999.2 149.3 14.9% (7) (10) (0) (9) (20) (6) (6) Business Performance Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific FY21 earnings of $140m, decreased $9m compared to the pcp. due to the following: Technology: $14m increase on the pcp, in line with guidance provided in FY20, technology growth has more than offset recontracting impacts. Contract Renewals: $12m net decrease, driven by the loss of a metals customer and lower ammonium nitrate pricing on contract renewals in Australia, offset in part by new metals business. Turnaround: As per previous guidance, the impact of the Moranbah turnaround was $15m. Response Plan: $9m increase, driven by sustainable cost savings, mainly across the Commercial business and the Moranbah plant. W.A. Contracts: $3m decrease, final impact from contracts lost in FY18 in Western Australia, in line with previous guidance. International: $2m net decrease. The Indonesian business was impacted by lower demand which was mainly a result of COVID-19. The Turkish business was impacted by a slowdown in construction activity and a weaker Turkish Lira. Market Summary Australian Metallurgical Coal 50% of Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific revenue for the year was generated from the Australian Metallurgical Coal sector, most of which was from supply to mines in the Bowen Basin. Volumes from the Metallurgical Coal sector were flat year on year as miners successfully diversified their customer base (primarily to India) in response to bans imposed by China on imports of Australian coal from November 2020. Base & Precious Metals 40% 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 decreased 13% compared to pcp, mainly due to the previously disclosed loss of a metals customer. International 10% of Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific revenue was generated internationally in Indonesia, Turkey and Papua New Guinea. Volumes decreased by 30% compared to the pcp. Volumes in the Indonesian business were significantly impacted due to mining activity being disrupted by COVID-19. Volumes in the Turkish business (Nitromak) have been impacted by reduced construction. Manufacturing Allowing for the impact of the planned turnaround, Moranbah performed well producing 347k mt of ammonium nitrate during the year. Although the plant was in the last phase of its operating cycle, the plant produced at nameplate (excluding the outage for the turnaround). 28 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW149(3)(12)14(15)(2)9140FY20Actual EBITW.A.

Major movements for the year were due to the following: Volumes and Margins: Increased distribution volumes more than offset a slight decline in EBIT margins for a net improvement of $7m for the year. PDC Upgrades: Upgrades to primary distribution centres, primarily at Gibson Island, resulted in increased costs ($5m) being incurred for the sourcing of alternative storage facilities and associated logistics costs. Manufacturing Reliability: $3m net increase at last years pricing, largely due to higher production volume at Phosphate Hill (excluding planned Ammonia shutdown). Planned Plant Shutdowns: $7m decrease. A planned shutdown of Ammonia production at Phosphate Hill (aligned with Mt. Isa’s Sulphuric Acid plant shut, which coincided with Glencore’s copper smelter shut) negatively impacted earnings by $13m compared to the pcp. This was partially offset (+$5m) by higher production of Urea at the Gibson Island plant compared to FY20 which was impacted by a turnaround in that period. 1H19 Queensland Rail Outage – Insurance recovery: The FY20 result included a non-recurring insurance receipt of $7m in relation to losses incurred from the 2019 Queensland rail outage. Depreciation: The FY20 turnaround at Gibson Island and the FY21 turnaround at Mt. Isa resulted in higher depreciation charges of approximately $10m. Response Plan: Savings of $25m predominantly from sustainable reductions in operational expenses at Phosphate Hill and Gibson Island. Foreign Exchange and Commodity Prices: $237m net increase, due to higher global fertiliser prices improving the result by $312m (after allowing for a negative $5m impact from tiered gas pricing at Gibson Island), partially offset by unfavourable movements in the A$:US$ exchange rate impacting the result by $75m. Market Summary Total Fertilisers Asia Pacific sales volumes of 3,220k metric tonnes was 3% higher than FY20 sales of 3,136k metric tonnes. Agronomic conditions have been generally favourable with La Nina rain events increasing soil moisture and water storage levels, producing the highest sales volume since 2005. The favourable water levels supported good sales of liquid fertilisers which were up 30% year on year. Global fertilisers prices traded significantly higher in FY21 with realised Ammonium Phosphate prices improving by more than 72% compared with the pcp. The supply and demand dynamic remains broadly favourable to support strong prices in the near term. Progress on the soil health strategy continues, highlighted by the introduction of Precision Ag and an increase in Nutrient Advantage earnings. Manufacturing Manufacturing performance in the Fertilisers Asia Pacific business in FY21 was as follows: Phosphate Hill Ammonium phosphates production decreased to 958k mt, down 2% on pcp mainly due to a planned shutdown at Mt. Isa which impacted the supply of Sulphur. Plant reliability for the year was 96%, an improvement of 3% over the prior year. Ammonium phosphates cost per tonne was impacted by a number of factors, the most consequential being the increased cost of sulphur. Increased freight, gas (CPI) and depreciation costs were partially offset by Response Plan savings. Gibson Island The plant produced 499k mt of urea equivalent product, up 24% on pcp. The majority of this improvement is due to FY20 being impacted by a planned major turnaround. 29 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW2674(5)3(7)(7)21(10)312(75)26802550400FY19 Qld Rail Outage – Insurance Recovery in FY20Volumes & MarginsResponsePlanPDC Upgrades TurnaroundsManufacturing ReliabilityResponsePlanDepreciationCommoditiesForeignExchangeFY21Actual EBITFY20Actual EBITIncreaseDecreaseTotalManufacturingNon-ControllablesEBIT A$mDistributionIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021OUTLOOK AND SENSITIVITIES IPL does not generally 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 current view at the time of this report. Outlook COVID-19 To date, IPL has not been materially impacted by COVID-19. The extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s operational and financial performance depends on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak (including the impact of variants), regulations imposed by governments with respect to ongoing management of the pandemic, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy, including commodity prices, customer demand, supply chains and inflation. Capital Expenditure Subject to currency fluctuations, underlying sustenance capital spend for FY22 is expected to be approximately $320m with the final two large manufacturing turnarounds scheduled for FY22. A further $50m of one-off sustenance expenditure is expected to be spent on: » upgrades of Brisbane area distribution assets ($25m); and installation of equipment to provide steam independence » at Waggaman, Louisiana ($25m). Land sales to the value of $50m are expected to offset sustenance expenditure for a net total spend of $320m. Explosives Technology » Targeting technology driven Explosives EBIT growth of 10% between FY20 and FY22. Dyno Nobel Americas » Apart from a potential outage of up to 3 weeks to allow installation of a replacement cooler (if required), the Waggaman plant is expected to produce at nameplate capacity in FY22. The operational earnings of Waggaman remain subject to movements in ammonia and natural gas prices. » Agriculture & Industrial Chemicals earnings remain subject to movements in global fertilisers prices, particularly Urea. » Coal demand is expected to decline by 5% through FY22. Potential carbon legislation could pose further risk to coal demand going forward. » A planned turnaround at Cheyenne in the second half of FY22 is expected to result in 6-8 weeks of lost production. » Quarry and Construction is expected to continue a slow recovery driven by residential and infrastructure. Growth from the US Federal Government infrastructure bill is likely to take time to filter through to volumes and may not produce material upside in FY22. Volume growth of 3% to 5% is expected. » Elevated commodity prices should support demand in the Base and Precious Metals sector. Dyno volume growth expected to be slightly above market growth. » Recovery in earnings from the International businesses is expected but remains subject to customer demand and COVID-19 management within the offshore markets. » In line with previous disclosure, the unfavourable Western Australian supply arrangements cease in FY22 resulting in a boost to earnings (compared to FY21) of approximately $11m. Investments in capital required to support customer needs and future growth, combined with Moranbah turnaround expenditure will result in depreciation increasing by approximately $6m in FY22 compared with FY21. Fertilisers Asia Pacific » Fertilisers earnings will continue to be dependent on global fertilisers prices, the A$:US$ exchange rate and weather conditions. » Weather conditions across Eastern Australia remain favourable, with many cropping and pasture districts receiving above average rainfall. Increased soil moisture levels in most districts on the East Coast, coupled with high dam levels is expected to drive demand for fertiliser. » Farm economics are expected to remain favourable through FY22 with farmer cashflows supportive of strong fertiliser demand. » A planned turnaround at Phosphate Hill in the second half of FY22 is expected to result in 6-8 weeks of lost production. » Phosphate Hill is expected to run at 90% of nameplate capacity through to the May 2022 turnaround, and at 100% namplate capacity thereafter. » Based on FY21 realised DAP price and average AUD:USD exchange rate, the earnings impact from the 6-8 week FY22 turnaround is approximately $73m. » Gibson Island is expected to produce at rates in line with FY21. The forecast costs of closure have been included as an IMI in the FY21 result. The majority of the cashflow related to the closure will occur in FY23. Group Corporate: Corporate costs are expected to be approximately $37m in FY22, which includes investments in Energy Transition ($2m), International business development ($3m) and HR Organisational Development and Diversity. Borrowing Costs: Net borrowing costs for FY22 are expected to be approximately $104m, due to the impact of lower average borrowings. Taxation: IPL’s effective tax rate for FY22 is expected to be between 23% and 25%. Hedging Program: 67% of estimated FY22 US$ linked fertilisers sales are hedged at a rate of $0.77 with full participation down to $0.725. The remaining 33% is unhedged.Sensitivities The table provides sensitivities to key earnings drivers excluding the impact of hedging.

These risks, which may occur individually or concurrently, could significantly affect the Group’s business and operations. The ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have the potential to exacerbate some of the risks described below. 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 noted below are not exhaustive and 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. Broad Risk Category Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Strategy IPL operates in highly competitive markets with varying competitor dynamics and industry structures. The actions of established or potential competitors could have a negative impact on sales and market share and hence the Group’s financial performance. » » In respect of IPL’s advanced technologies, there is a risk that the intellectual property may be replicated or challenged, resulting in potential loss of business. IPL’s fertiliser operations compete against global manufacturers many of whom have lower input costs and may enjoy regulatory and economic advantages. A number of entities in the IPL Group currently undertake or are parties to joint ventures in different jurisdictions. Where IPL does not have operational control over these joint ventures, there is a risk that IPL’s financial performance or reputation may be adversely impacted. The global energy transition that is occurring in response to climate change is changing market dynamics and presents strategic risks and opportunities for IPL. These may include a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, which would likely significantly decrease demand for thermal coal, and a shift to new technologies, such as renewable hydrogen. Health, Safety, Environment & Community IPL’s operations are inherently high risk. 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 or fire/explosion during manufacture, transportation or storage. 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. Where IPL vacates a site, additional environmental remediation obligations may arise. Depending on the extent and nature of contamination, remediation obligations could be significant. Due to the nature of industrial and agricultural chemicals, IPL’s operations have the potential to impact on local communities. This may include unintended chemical releases, or noise, dust and/or odour pollution. IPL seeks to maintain or develop competitive cost positions in its chosen markets, whilst maintaining quality product and service offerings. IPL continues to invest in new technologies and premium product offerings in order to meet the needs of its customers while limiting both IPL’s, and its customers’, carbon footprints. » Where IPL is a party to a joint venture without having operational control, oversight of the joint venture’s operations, governance practices and risk management activities is maintained through membership on the entity’s Board of Directors, Board Audit and Risk Management Committee and/or Committee of Management. In addition, IPL receives regular operational and financial reports and conducts periodic audits. » IPL monitors long term growth trends in the mining sector through industry forecasts of commodities demand, which are shifting away from thermal coal towards the metals required for the energy transition. These trends have been incorporated into IPL’s business strategy through aligning its explosives business growth with predicted customer demand profiles by segment and the delivery of technology solutions to leverage these. The IPL Decarbonisation and Energy Steering Committee provides ongoing focus and executive sponsorship of projects and strategic opportunities as it seeks to leverage key decarbonisation megatrends to exploit new profitable markets in its core geographies. » A comprehensive Health, Safety, Environment and Community (HSEC) management system is in place. » Where remedial obligations are identified, an analysis is undertaken to assess any potential costs. Where applicable, provisions are made in the accounts in line with relevant accounting standards. » » » » » HSEC risk identification, mitigation and management strategies are employed at all times and across all sites. 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. The Group has strict processes around the stewardship, movement and safe handling of dangerous goods and other chemicals. IPL has measures in place to monitor, manage and prevent potential negative impacts on local communities which may arise. Where required by law, sites communicate regularly with the community regarding Community Safety Plans which describe the emergency procedures that should be followed to keep the community safe in the unlikely event of a potential incident. 31 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Broad Risk Category Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Climate Change COVID-19 Compliance IPL acknowledges the mainstream science on the existence of climate change. The Company has developed a Net Zero Pathway and has set an ambition to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050, or sooner if practicable. Climate change is a material and strategic issue for the business and IPL faces a number of transitional and physical risks across the Group that will require ongoing and active management. The impact of carbon emissions, and governments’ policies and actions to limit them, may have an impact on IPL’s operations and supply chains. The extent of the physical and transitional impacts will be influenced by factors such as whether there are policies and actions aimed at a rapid decarbonisation of the global economy, or whether less stringent approaches are taken. Physical impacts could include more severe extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods and hurricanes. Transitional impacts may include changes to regulations that could result in an increase to the cost base or operating cost of plants, and market shifts. A detailed discussion of the risks and opportunities identified through IPL’s comprehensive assessment can be found in the IPL Climate Change Report (2021). (1) The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a range of challenges across the IPL Group. At all times the focus has been on the health and safety of the Group’s employees, including their mental well-being while still ensuring business continuity. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a risk that an infection outbreak may occur at one or more manufacturing and/or distribution sites, which could impact minimum operator requirements and result in reduced production and/or output from one or more manufacturing and/or distribution sites. Additionally, there may be increased downtime due to staggered shift times and increased cleaning requirements. IPL’s business, and that of its customers and suppliers, is subject to various laws, policies and regulatory provisions across the jurisdictions in which it operates, including anti-bribery and corruption laws, sanctions, anti-trust laws, modern slavery, domestic or international laws relating to 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. Failure to abide by, or changes in, these laws and regulatory provisions 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, including 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 also exposed to potential legal and other claims or disputes in the course of its business and in connection with its operations. Additionally, 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. » » » » » IPL has been increasing its disclosures against the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) guidelines since 2018. The risks and opportunities faced by the Group, including the physical risks associated with climate change, have informed IPL’s climate change strategy. Like other business risks and opportunities, those associated with the physical impacts of climate change and the global energy transition require strong oversight and strategic management. Risks and opportunities have been incorporated into the Group’s strategy, and comprehensive governance structures are in place to manage them. These are described in Chapter 1 of the IPL Climate Change Report (2021). Through engagement with an expert third party in 2021, a comprehensive assessment has been completed of IPL’s physical and transitional risks and opportunities associated with climate change. The assessment was conducted in line with TCFD guidelines using four future climate related scenarios created specifically for IPL. These were 1.5º, 2º, Inevitable Policy Response (IPR) and Current Trajectory (3º+) scenarios. These scenarios, the risks and opportunities identified, their materiality and the management strategies for each are reported in detail in Chapter 4 of the IPL Climate Change Report (2021). Employee health and welfare has been at the core of IPL’s COVID-19 response. Flexible work arrangements have been put in place, where practical. Mental health awareness sessions have been held for employees and the Employee Assistance Program continues to be available globally for those who require additional assistance. Crisis Management Teams exist at various levels of management across the business to monitor the situation at a local level and escalate concerns as required. Physical distancing, face masks and staggered shifts have been introduced as far as practical. Where not practical, alternative controls such as plexi-glass screens have been implemented at work stations and employees are encouraged to work from home where they can. Increased hygiene and cleaning routines have been implemented and record keeping and contact tracing procedures are in place across the Group. Corporate functions are in place to provide sufficient support and guidance to ensure regulatory risks are identified and addressed, including regular reviews of country regulatory risk, comprehensive checks of customers and suppliers for compliance with relevant sanctions and modern slavery laws, and the undertaking of due diligence processes as required. » IPL has dedicated resources to manage and monitor business processes against the compliance requirements for ethical procurement, including modern slavery. » Where possible, IPL appoints local business leaders and management teams who bring a strong understanding of the local operating environment and strong customer relationships. » » » » » IPL has a compliance management module in its primary HSEC- management software system which is used to actively monitor compliance and licence requirements across the business. IPL engages with governments and other key stakeholders to ensure potential adverse impacts of regulatory changes are understood and, where possible, mitigated. Regular training is provided to relevant staff on their obligations and reporting requirements under appropriate anti-bribery and corruption laws. IPL provides a whistleblower hotline where employees and third parties can anonymously notify the Group’s General Counsel and Chief Risk Officer of any suspected fraudulent, illegal or unethical activity. 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. (1) Refer to IPL’s Climate Change Policy (available on IPL’s website) for further details on the Company’s support for the international climate agreement developed at the 2015 Paris Conference of Parties. 32 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Broad Risk Category Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL People Despite the initial impact on employment from the COVID-19 pandemic, labour markets for highly-skilled roles remain challenging, particularly in Australia and the United States, where IPL’s main manufacturing assets are located. » Manufacturing IPL has operations in regional and remote locations where it can be difficult to attract and retain critical and diverse talent. A shortage of skilled people or loss of key personnel could disrupt IPL’s business operations or adversely affect IPL’s business and financial performance. IPL’s manufacturing systems are vulnerable to equipment breakdowns, energy or water disruptions (including high baseline water stress, resulting from climate change), natural disasters and severe weather events, unforeseen human error, sabotage, terrorist attacks and other unforeseen events which may disrupt IPL’s operations and materially affect its financial performance. 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, as this impacts the variable cost of production of ammonia and significantly influences the plants’ overall competitive position. There is a risk that a reliable, committed source of natural gas at economically viable prices may not be available for the Australian manufacturing operations. Sulphuric acid is a major raw material required for the production of ammonium phosphates. Approximately 50-60% of Phosphate Hill’s sulphuric acid comes from processing metallurgical gas sourced from Glencore’s Mt Isa Mines copper smelting facility. Sulphuric acid supply into Phosphate Hill would likely be negatively impacted, from a volume and/or price perspective, should the Mt Isa Mines copper smelter close. IPL moved from a global manufacturing model to a new regional model during 2021 which has required management of significant business change which may result in some short term risks in relation to operating efficiencies, resourcing constraints and project execution. IPL’s People Strategy is focused on developing a diverse and inclusive business with the right people in the right roles, who are inspired and engaged. This includes controls such as building leadership capability aligned to an IPL culture that supports IPL’s employee value proposition, market competitive STI and LTI programs and inclusion and diversity strategies. » The Group has policies and procedures, including flexible working arrangements and competitive compensation structures, designed to help attract and retain the workforce. » Management identifies critical roles and implements policies to help ensure that appropriate succession and retention plans are in place for those roles. » » » » » » » » » » The Group continues to make manufacturing reliability a key strategic driver for the business. The objectives are to achieve safe, reliable and cost competitive operations underpinned by High Reliability Organisation (HRO) mindsets. Key priorities include stabilising production at Waggaman, Louisiana through a Reliability Taskforce and specific tactical plans to deliver reliability improvement and build capability across US Nitrogen plants. Focused improvements are underway to improve the consistency and efficiency of Turnaround and Capital Project execution. 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 with regard to damage to the Group’s plants and property and the associated costs arising from business interruptions. 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, including through exploration activities on the tenement awarded to Central Petroleum Limited (Central) 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 well-supplied and liquid market. The Americas business has short term gas supply arrangements in place for its gas needs with market referenced pricing mechanisms. In respect of the Americas business, there is an ability to hedge gas prices in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The Group has several sources of sulphuric acid for supply for Phosphate Hill including its Mt Isa operations, which produces sulphuric acid from burning imported elemental sulphur, and purchasing directly from a domestic smelter. In addition, Phosphate Hill uses phosphoric acid reclaimed from its gypsum stacks in place of sulphuric acid. The Group has started a life of mine project at Phosphate Hill with one leg of the work specifically looking at alternative sources of sulphuric acid for the Phosphate Hill operation to mitigate any potential loss of sulphuric acid from a Glencore smelter closure. 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. The new regional manufacturing model is designed to enhance operational efficiencies in the medium to longer term by integrating manufacturing sites with their regional supply chains, frontline operations and customer facing functions. However, a global reliability and asset strategy will remain in place to ensure that manufacturing standards, reliability improvements and capital investments are optimised across the Group. 33 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Broad Risk Category Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Customer Supply Chain Commodity Price Demand IPL has strong relationships with key customers for the supply of products and services, and these relationships are fundamental to the Group’s financial performance. The loss of key customer(s) may have a negative impact on the Group’s financial performance. 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. » The Group attempts to diversify its customer base to reduce the potential impact of the loss of any single customer. » Where practical, for customers in the Explosives sector, IPL prefers to engage in long term customer contractual relationships. » The Group manages customer credit risks by monitoring and actively managing overdue amounts within policy guidelines, and through endeavouring to negotiate contractual terms that provide protection to address customer non-payment or financial distress. » When appropriate, the Group purchases trade credit insurance to minimise credit risk. Timely and economic supply of key raw materials 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 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. Additionally, severe weather events, such as flooding and significant storms, in addition to the continued impacts of COVID-19 on global supply chain logistics, can also impact IPL’s supply chains, plant uptime and earnings. » Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and inventory processes assist in optimising inventory to reduce price risk of stock on hand and provide flexibility to mitigate the impacts of short term disruptions. » Where possible, flexible supply chain and alternative sourcing solutions are explored and 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. Plants have storage capacity, as well as logistics capability, that allows for offtake to be distributed via various channels, including via rail, truck, barge and pipeline. » More detail on management strategies to mitigate the impacts of future extreme weather events on IPL’s supply chains can be found in the IPL Climate Change Report (2021). » » » » » » Pricing for fertilisers, ammonia, ammonium nitrate and certain other industrial chemicals is linked to internationally traded commodities (for example, ammonia, ammonium phosphates and urea). Some raw materials, such as phosphate rock, is also an internationally traded commodity. The pricing of internationally traded commodities is based on international benchmarks and is affected by global supply and demand forces, therefore price fluctuations in these products, combined with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the A$/US$ rate, could adversely affect IPL’s manufacturing operations and financial performance. 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. 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 by affecting demand for industrial explosives, industrial chemicals and fertilisers and related products and services, and profitability in respect of them. 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 energy sector, which has seen a movement away from coal-fired energy production towards natural gas has increased competitive pressure on some of IPL’s major existing customers (giving rise to increased cost pressure on inputs to their supply such as explosives) 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. Seasonal conditions (particularly rainfall), are a key factor for determining demand and sales of explosives and fertilisers. Any prolonged change in weather patterns and severity of adverse weather conditions, as well as changes to growing regions in the Fertiliser business, could impact the future profitability and prospects of IPL. IPL manages commodity price risk via a trading book approach which 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. The Group may enter into derivative contracts, where available on a needs basis, to mitigate commodity price risk. However, in some instances price risk exposure cannot be economically mitigated by either contractual arrangements or derivative contracts. Diversification across explosives and fertilisers markets in numerous geographical locations helps manage exposures: IPL’s international explosives businesses operate across geographically diverse locations with exposures to diverse sectors including coal, iron ore, quarry & construction and metals mining; IPL’s Australian fertilisers business operates in all Australian States other than Western Australia and has diversity across market segments and customers serviced. Continuous review of country specific risks helps proactive management of potential exposures. 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. 34 OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEWIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Broad Risk Category Description and potential consequences Treatment strategies employed by IPL Finance The appreciation or depreciation of the A$ against the US$ may materially affect IPL’s financial performance through the translation of US$ denominated sales, borrowings and related interest payable. Other financial risks that can impact IPL’s earnings and/or ability to operate include the cost and availability of funds to meet its business needs, movements in interest rates and the imposition or removal of tariffs. While IPL currently forecasts that it will have sufficient funds to meet its business needs and to service its debt requirements, no assurance can be given that, in the future, IPL will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its financial covenants, debt repayment obligations, or be able to refinance its debt prior to its expiry. Changes in tax legislation or compliance requirements in the jurisdictions in which IPL 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. Security IPL’s operations are vulnerable to sabotage, terrorist attacks and other unforeseen events which may disrupt IPL’s operations and supply chain and materially affect its financial performance. Cyber Sensitive data, pertaining to IPL, its employees, associates, customers or suppliers, may be lost or exposed, resulting in a negative impact to reputation or competitive advantage, and potential breach of regulatory compliance obligations. IPL’s information technology and/or operating technology may be the target of cyber-attacks which could result in commercial, financial, health and safety, environmental, community or reputational impacts. The potential consequences include harm to personnel or the environment, loss of business or customer, financial loss, interference with compliance with regulations, interruption to operational business or processes, interruption to the ability to make, sell and ship product and damage to plant operating equipment. » » » » » » » » » » » IPL’s capital management strategy is aimed at maintaining an investment grade credit profile, an appropriate mix of A$/US$ debt, funding flexibility by accessing different debt markets and reducing refinancing risk by ensuring a spread of debt maturities. A detailed discussion of financial risks is included in Note 17 (Financial Risk Management). Financial risk management is undertaken in accordance with policies, including hedging strategies, that are approved by the Board. IPL engages with governments and other key stakeholders to ensure potential adverse impacts of proposed fiscal and/or tax changes are understood and, where possible, mitigated.

Nothing matters more than ensuring people get home safely every day. Zero Harm is integral to the way we work and is essential to our ability to operate as a responsible organisation. This year, we continued to shape the safety performance of the industries in which we operate and were guided by our ambition to achieve industry leading performance in occupational health, personal safety, process safety and environmental compliance. Our strong Zero Harm culture is underpinned by our Zero Harm strategic driver, which integrates the elements of health, safety, environment, and community in one framework. Expressed as four key themes — Simplify, Get the Fundamentals Right, Lead and Engage and Strengthen our Learning Culture — they act as principles and provide a common language that guides our efforts to achieve Zero Harm. Our safety performance is tracked against our three-year strategic plan which targets the delivery of global Zero Harm initiatives and is supported by our global collaboration networks. 2021 Safety Performance The Total Recordable Incidents Frequency Rate (TRIFR) improvement trend experienced over previous years did not continue, with a FY21 TRIFR of 0.87. In response to this we have enacted several interventions to reverse the trend including safety stand downs, refreshed Take 5! training, and beginning to roll out the re-designed SafeTEAMS training throughout our workforce. We also identified the need to increase focus on visible leadership in the field and engagement to improve personal safety performance in the COVID-19 operating environment. Our Environmental performance experienced a substantial improvement with zero Significant Environmental Incidents reported. The achievement of our target performance in significant event management for both investigations and actions completed was also achieved. Process Safety Incidents increased with 38 in FY21 compared to 24 last year. This increase is not due solely to an increase in the number of events occurring, but also reflects improved reporting of events. The importance of maintaining focus on loss of containment process safety events, and monitoring progress against completion of process safety improvement plans for both group and business units, will drive the improvement of performance which we are committed to.

Delivering on our People First strategic commitments provides employees with a leadership experience grounded in a set of human principles that brings meaning and purpose to the work they fulfil, performed in inclusive, collaborative environments, offering growth opportunities that inspire and engage. We encourage our People to participate through partnering with teams across our global footprint to share experiences and ideas at all levels of our organisation. We believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and it’s through this principle that we build a strong sustainable future for all stakeholders. 40 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Strategic focus area Highlights Engaging leaders Talented People Inclusive workplace Partnerships Launched a management skills development program within DNAP and IPF. This program rounds out a comprehensive approach to developing practical skills in our frontline leaders across the following areas: safety leadership skills via the Safe Teams program; management skills via the Frontline Management program and team leadership skills via the Leadership Foundations program. Delivered our biennial global employee engagement survey and our operating model survey incorporating critical feedback into our global leadership conference. Further work is planned across the business in FY22 to progress our culture of care and safe ground, our leader capability, alignment and employee development opportunities. Refreshed our global approach to our talent and succession practices to ensure we have a strong pipeline of capability for future roles. In Australia, we strengthened our partnerships with universities and revamped our Graduate, Vacation and Workplace Integrated Learning Programs to allow us to recruit highly capable new talent into the business to support growth and future proof the organisation. A global roll-out is planned. The Nobel Academy (in the Americas) developed internship and graduate partner relationships with universities across the United States, including University of Utah, Brigham Young University, Colorado School of Mines, Missouri University of Science & Technology, University of Kentucky, Tuskegee University, University of Connecticut, Saint Louis University and Weber State University. The DNAP Indonesian business launched a culturally relevant leadership program called Engage & Grow. The program is multifaceted and aims to develop leadership skills, employment law knowledge and drive engagement activities within the workforce. This has been implemented in our Berau region and is planned to be rolled out across our Indonesia operations in FY22. The Salt Lake City regional office strengthened inclusion action planning with the launch of a team to address the role of women in our business. The team includes diverse individuals from across corporate and operational roles. Together they formulate action plans linked to strategy and take on goals to move the needle on increasing diversity in recruiting, retaining diverse employees and ensuring those diverse employees have equal opportunities for promotion to leadership roles in the company. As part of this work an inclusion event program has been launched to encourage networking and connectivity. At our Helidon (Australia) operations, we partnered with a local community organisation called TRAMS to recruit candidates for whom English is not their first language. Additionally, we commenced a program with Indigenous Workstars and Job Trail to improve indigenous employment outcomes in our Australian business units. Undertook the integration of Alpha Explosives (California), former JV Partner and Hermitage Explosives (Tennessee), former distributor into the DNA U.S. business. Focused on Zero Harm and cultural integration action plans. Across all parts of the Americas business, we heavily promoted mental wellbeing topics – with leaders sharing personal stories throughout the business. We also continued to promote our Americas Employee Assistance Program to further normalise its use. Pleasingly, this resulted in an increase in program use. Across DNA we completed a comprehensive review of our employee benefits and improved vacation entitlements, provided transportation of breast milk for travelling parents, updated our tuition reimbursement program and provided enhanced employee discount programs for all employees in the Americas. We continued our American Australian Association scholarship program providing education opportunities for veterans with future employment possibility. The IPL Reconciliation Action Plan was developed and launched across all Australian based business units. To support its implementation, we hosted education and awareness sessions for employees partnering with an external organisation specialising in indigenous engagement. Our Mt Isa Manufacturing plant held a NAIDOC week celebration including a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony with their local community indigenous elders. All our manufacturing plants in Australia display an Acknowledgement of Country plaque. To support bifurcation within shift rosters, employees at Gibson Island operations (Australia) agreed to vary the Enterprise Agreement. This was one of the first Covid-19 enterprise agreement variations of this type to be approved by Fair Work Australia. 41 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021SUSTAINABILITY OVERVIEW Our Sustainability Strategy To deliver sustainable growth and shareholder returns while caring for our people, our communities and our environment. 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 our business, the environment and the communities in which we operate. This commitment is driven by our Company Values, which are core to our business, and built into our Strategic Drivers. In order to identify those issues most material for our stakeholders and our business, we conduct a biennial materiality review. The steps in this process follow Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, with our most recent materiality assessment conducted in 2021. This year, we designed our materiality assessment to identify the broader megatrends that are currently shaping our operating environment and impacting on the ways in which we create value. These are shown on the following page along with 2021 highlights and our 2023 Ambition for each. Our 2021 Sustainability Report will be released in March 2022 and will describe in more detail these megatrends, our identified material issues and topics, our materiality assessment process, our stakeholders and engagement process and how we are leveraging key ESG trends to create value.

Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Our Use of Natural Resources in 2021 Energy and GHG The manufacture of nitrogen-based products is energy intensive because it requires natural gas as both an energy source and a raw material, with carbon dioxide being liberated during manufacturing. For this reason, the production of these essential agricultural and mining products is currently based on a hard-to-abate chemical process. During 2021, we focused on investigating the new technologies required to decarbonise and developed a potential Net Zero Pathway to 2050. This allowed us to accelerate our GHG reduction targets and set: » a short-term absolute reduction target of 5% of operational (Scope 1 & 2) GHG by 2025; » a medium-term absolute reduction target of 25% of operational (Scope 1 & 2) GHG by 2030; and » an ambition to achieve net zero GHG by 2050 or sooner if practicable. To support these targets, we have identified the technologies and key enablers required to achieve net zero by 2050 and developed a pipeline of decarbonisation initiatives to materially reduce our operational emissions. We have also identified opportunities to reduce our Scope 3 emissions and will continue to focus on these in 2022. See the IPL Climate Change Report (2021) for more details. Our 2021 global energy use decreased by 14% since 2020 due to an 18% decrease in ammonia production associated with major plant outages. This also decreased our Scope 1 GHG emissions by 14%. Lower plant efficiencies due to restarts increased our GHG per tonne of ammonia by 2% on last year, which is an 8% reduction against our 2015 baseline. Our purchased electricity and Scope 2 GHG emissions remained stable (increasing by less than 0.5% and 0.8% respectively), as did our Scope 3 Value Chain emissions, which increased by 1%. This data is shown graphically below. Total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions Million tonnes of CO2e Scope 1 Scope 2 Total GHG emissions TOTAL GLOBAL ENERGY USE 60,629,371 GJ PURCHASED ELECTRICITY 2,074,639 GJ 14% 0.5% (3.6% of total global energy use) SCOPE 1 GHG 3.1m tCO2e SCOPE 2 GHG 0.3m tCO2e SCOPE 3 GHG 6.0m tCO2e 14% 0.8% 0.1% Total Operational GHG: 3.4m tCO2e Value Chain Emissions OPERATIONAL GHG INTENSITY & PRODUCTION 8% 18% tCO2e/tAmmonia against 2015 baseline Ammonia Production against 2020 Our 2021 total global water withdrawal decreased by 5% on 2020 withdrawal, to 41,859 megalitres (ML). We discharged 25,501 ML to the environment, 98.5% of which was clean cooling water returned under EPA licence to the US rivers from which it was taken. This brings our net water use to 16,690 ML in 2021. Gross Water Use 41,859 ML Discharge 25,501 ML 5% 14% GHG intensity per tonne of ammonia produced tCO2e Trend Water Use and Discharge Cooling water is also a key necessity for nitrogen manufacturing. In addition to IPL’s comprehensive annual risk management process, the World Resources Institute (WRI) Water Tool is completed each year for long term projections and reviewed by IPL’s 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 WRI Water Tool as being located in areas which may experience water stress by 2025. One high-use water site, Gibson Island in Brisbane, Australia, is in a catchment identified as currently experiencing high baseline water stress (40-80%) and this is projected to double by 2030. During 2021, we completed construction of a pipeline to bring recycled water into the site. This will leave around 6,000 kL per day in Brisbane dams for use by our local communities. This underpins our target of 25% reduction in municipal water by 2023 for our Australian businesses.

Reports on matters relating to climate change are received directly by the Board, and through the Audit and Risk Management Committee and the Health, Safety, Environment and Community Committee of the Board. The MD & CEO and Executive Team, develop the Group’s business strategy, planning, investment decisions and risk management processes. The MD & CEO is responsible for delivering the climate change strategy approved by the Board. The MD & CEO is Chair of the IPL Decarbonisation and Energy Transition (DET) Steering Committee, which comprises selected executives and other senior management. The MD & CEO and the DET Steering Committee are responsible for the development of the Company’s Net Zero Pathway and the strategic management of business risks and opportunities related to climate change, including the incorporation of opportunities and key trends into business strategy. Building Climate Change into our Business Strategy The DET Steering Committee provides ongoing focus and executive sponsorship of projects and strategic opportunities as we seek to leverage key decarbonisation megatrends to exploit new profitable markets in our core geographies. We recognise that the global energy transition associated with climate change is increasingly impacting on our two customer facing businesses. For example, long term growth trends in the mining sector are shifting away from thermal coal towards the metals required for the transition and this is reflected in industry forecasts of commodities demand. These trends have been incorporated into our business strategy through aligning our explosives business growth with predicted customer demand profiles by segment and the delivery of technology solutions to leverage these. Trends in agricultural markets include not only high efficiency, low GHG fertilisers and soil carbon solutions, but a broader focus on more sustainable growing practices, precision agriculture and soil health. Following the strategic review of the fertilisers business undertaken in 2020, our long term strategy is to grow our IPF business from a leading fertiliser company, manufacturing and distributing a range of domestic fertilisers, to a sustainable soil health company providing sustainable plant nutrition solutions to improve soil health. This strategy will be leveraged through our expansive distribution footprint to drive new growth products and services towards soil health. The energy transition also presents new opportunities for business growth for IPL. Australia’s abundant renewable resources make it a prime location for the rapid development of renewable hydrogen. IPL has a core competency in the manufacture, storage and transportation of ammonia and is well placed to play a role in ‘green hydrogen’, and green ammonia for a low-carbon economy. We aim to be an early participant in these new industry opportunities, and we will achieve this by proactively identifying projects, products and partnerships that align with our existing competencies and enhance our core business. (1) Our short and medium-term targets are absolute reductions against our 2020 baseline year operational (Scope 1 and Scope 2) emissions of 3,961,222 tCO2e. (2) Subject to economic feasibility of CCUS at Waggaman, Louisiana. (3) Our ambition to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 is based on the assumptions that; green hydrogen reaches economic parity with natural gas for hydrogen production by 2040; US grid decarbonisation is achieved by 2035-2040; Australian grid decarbonisation is achieved by 2040; and carbon offsets are available for residual emissions that are not practical to abate. OUR TARGETS SHORT TERM TARGET 5% absolute reduction (1) 2025 MEDIUM TERM TARGET 25% absolute reduction (2) 2030 LONG TERM AMBITION NET ZERO (3) 2050 Why our Net Zero Pathway is not linear IPL’s manufacturing processes are considered to be ‘hard-to-abate’ processes. This means that not all of the technologies required to reduce our GHG emissions are currently available. For example, we own and operate six ammonia plants globally, for which no abatement technology currently exists. Since they are wholly owned and domestically operated close to our markets, we have the opportunity to decarbonise these assets while maintaining employment for a just transition, and vertically integrated secure supply chains for ammonium nitrate and fertiliser manufacture. Our Climate Change Report (2021) describes the work we have done to identify the required technologies to decarbonise and to estimate, as accurately as we can, the time frames in which these will be available for implementation. Based on the results of this work, it is unlikely that our trajectory towards Net Zero will be linear - it will begin more slowly and then accelerate after 2030, with the greater reductions required to reach net zero by 2050 occurring towards and after 2040. In line with this work, we have set current short and medium term targets which transparently reflect our expected pathway and are underpinned by a pipeline of actual decarbonisation initiatives. While these are at varying levels of development, they are all considered technologically ready. See the footnotes to the left. For details on our Net Zero Pathway see the IPL Climate Change Report (2021) 47 Developed our Net Zero Pathway and Net Zero 2050 ambition. Brought our 5% absolute reduction target forward to 2025. Set a medium-term absolute reduction target of 25% by 2030. Partnered with Fortescue Future Industries to investigate green ammonia production at our Gibson Island manufacturing site.

We believe that we have a responsibility to make a positive social and economic contribution to the communities in which we operate, by providing local employment, prioritising local suppliers whenever possible, and creating shared value for our urban, regional, mining and farming communities. We encourage our site-based teams to engage with their local community members, business representatives, charities, governments, and community organisations to ensure that engagement decisions are made locally and at the site level, where community needs are best understood. Guiding our approach to community engagement, social investment, cultural heritage and working with Indigenous communities is our Sustainable Communities Policy, which outlines our commitment to: » » » listen to and work with the community; strive to be a valued corporate citizen; and respect our neighbours, their values and cultural heritage, and be considerate of them in carrying out our operations. Community Safety The safety of our people and the communities in which we operate must always come first, which is why IPL has robust safety measures in place to monitor, manage, and prevent any potential risk or impact to our workforce and the local communities in which we operate. Due to the potentially hazardous nature of industrial and agricultural chemicals, our site leaders are well trained to cooperate and engage with local community leaders and first responders on how to keep the community safe in the unlikely event of an accident. To ensure our high safety standards are maintained we hold regular emergency response drills involving Emergency Services and first responders across certain sites that are required to do so by law or are listed as Major Hazard Facilities. 19% of our sites in Asia Pacific and 53% of our sites in the Americas are listed as Major Hazard Facilities. In addition, our sites regularly engage with communities and first responders to share community safety plans and emergency procedures in the event of a potential incident. Community Investment There are two key components of our Community Investment Framework. The first is our Dollar-for-Dollar program. It matches employee donations and site-based fundraising efforts (up to A$20,000 annually) where they align with our Principles for Giving. The second is our Workplace Giving program. This is a voluntary workplace giving scheme for Australian employees whereby they can donate to one or more of the company’s nominated not- for-profit charities with the assurance that IPL will match these donations up to A$20,000 each year. During 2021, A$440,970 of community investment was made globally through IPL’s Dollar-for-Dollar program, the Australian Workplace Giving program and various site-based initiatives, including in-kind donations and employee volunteer hours. 100% of both local and Group donations were made in line with our Principles for Giving, with 7% allocated to improving education, 39% contributing towards health and sport initiatives, and 54% to local community development. Local Sites Education OUR PRINCIPLES FOR GIVING OUR AREAS OF FOCUS Local Initiatives Health IPL Values Community Development 48 IPL COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK Our Framework preferences local approaches, enabling each IPL business and site to respond to the distinct needs of their communities.

Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021COMMUNITY ACTIVITY HIGHLIGHTS Community events were held around the world to support the communities in which we live and work. A small selection from FY21 include: Community Tree Planting at Geelong Operations, Australia Dyno Nobel Americas Annual support of For The Kids, USA Each week “For The Kids” supplies and delivers over 3,000 food items to inner-city kids of Salt Lake City, Utah. Every year, Dyno Nobel conducts a food-drive event where our Utah based employees from Lehi, Tradestar and the corporate office donate Thanksgiving dinner food items to over 300 families in the community. The dinners are assembled and delivered to the families the day before the holiday. Cheyenne Frontier Days Foundation, USA Cheyenne Frontier Days is a major Rocky Mountain regional event that takes place in Cheyenne, Wyoming with numerous Western heritage activities and experiences. The Foundation was established to support the charitable and educational aspects of the community and provides scholarships for the volunteers and their dependents of Frontier Days. Dyno Nobel’s Cheyenne Nitrogen Plant employees participate, volunteer, and contribute to the success of the event every year. Dyno Nobel donations have directly provided emergency monetary assistance to help volunteers cope with bills during serious illness or accident, death of a volunteer or member of their family. Our Geelong operations team came together with their community to organise a COVID-safe tree planting activity with staff and local residents. Following a regular meeting with the local community, the IPF team contributed funding and volunteers to help enhance some of the land holdings opposite our plant, by planting 1000 indigenous trees to create a wildlife corridor and space that the community can enjoy. Dajarra Rodeo and Campdraft in Mt Isa, Australia The Dajarra Rodeo is one of the biggest bush and social events in Mt Isa, it attracts competitors from all-around North-Western Australia. The popular action-packed weekend was this year sponsored by IPL and was held with the help of Cloncurry Shire Council and local volunteers. All funds raised from the weekend go to help local community groups in Mt Isa. Water Supply Boost at Moranbah, Australia In Australia, water supply is a critical issue for many of our local communities, particularly those inland. During the year, our Dyno Nobel site in Moranbah donated 50,000 kL of water from its site allocation to the township’s water supply. The 50,000 kL of water is the equivalent of five to six days’ worth of water for the local Moranbah community and is worth approximately A$133,000. This gesture was welcomed by the Isaac Regional Council and the Moranbah community. Big Grassy River First Nation, Canada Supporting indigenous peoples located in the communities in which we operate is a critical part of our Community Engagement Strategy. This year our Canadian operations donated over A$10,000 for community development to the Big Grassy River First Nation community of 285 residents in Northwest Ontario, Canada. 49 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021E C N A N R E V O G 50 We are committed to doing business ethically and in accordance with high standards of corporate governance Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 202151 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021CORPORATE GOVERNANCE We are committed to doing business ethically and in accordance with high standards of corporate governance – which is fundamental to the continued growth and success of IPL, for our shareholders and other stakeholders.

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 Australia and the United States. Environmental performance has seen a substantial improvement with zero Significant Environmental Incidents reported in the 2021 financial year. This result has highlighted the importance of delivering specific environmental improvement plans to achieve sustainable improvement. The implementation of our Compliance Management Framework, with a continued focus on environmental compliance across the organisation through automation, increased controls, and improved practices has delivered significant improvement in our environmental performance. During the 2021 financial year, a Penalty Infringement Notice (PIN) for $13,345 was issued to Phosphate Hill operations on 18 December 2020 by the Department of Environment and Science (DES) for an incident that occurred in the 2020 financial year. This fine was issued for the contravention of a condition of the site environmental licence relating to the capacity of a gypsum storage facility spillway. The DES was advised proactively of this situation in September 2020. Construction works to rectify the spillway capacity are underway. 61 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021DIRECTORS’ REPORTDeloitte provided non-audit services to the amount of $70.4k during the year ended 30 September 2021 (refer to note 23 to the financial statements). 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’s independence as auditor.

Auditor independence and non-audit services Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (Deloitte) 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 Corporations Act 2001. Mr Tim Richards is the Company’s lead audit partner for the 2021 financial year. The Group may decide to engage the auditor, Deloitte, for the provision of non-audit services, where such services are not in conflict with their role as auditor and their expertise and/or detailed experience with the Company may allow cost efficiencies for the work. The Board has considered the position and, in accordance with advice received by the Audit and Risk Management Committee, is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year by Deloitte is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 and does not compromise the external auditor’s independence. The Board also notes: » » the engagements for all non-audit services provided by Deloitte were reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer, and where relevant, approved by the Audit and Risk Management Committee, in accordance with the Committee’s Charter and the Company’s policy on the engagement of the external auditor for the provision of non-audit services to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and the non-audit services provided by Deloitte did not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing economic risks or rewards. 62 Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021DIRECTORS’ REPORTI n c i t e c P i v o t L i m i t e d A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 2 1 63 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 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 2021 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’s objective is to ensure our remuneration framework delivers outcomes with a clear link to company and individual performance, and to IPL’s long-term strategy and values. We were pleased to again receive strong support for our Remuneration Report at the 2020 Annual General Meeting. Financial Year 2021 in review Setting financial targets for 2021 was challenging. Volatility in commodity markets combined with the ongoing impact of Covid-19 introduced more potential variability in expected results. During the year, business results were lifted by a substantial upturn in commodity prices and strong operating performance at Phosphate Hill. These factors more than compensated for substantial reliability issues encountered at Waggaman during the plant’s first major maintenance shutdown. Unlike the prior two financial years, better than expected economic conditions for our products had an overall positive impact for Executive KMP incentive plan outcomes, as outlined below and in more detail throughout this report. Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) outcomes for the year were mixed. Very positive outcomes were achieved in both Environment Incidents and Significant Event Management, however, these were somewhat offset by below expectation results for Personal Safety (TRIFR) and Process Safety. HSE remains a critical focus for our license to operate and ensuring the safety of all employees and the communities we work with. Headline NPAT of $358.6 million was a positive result and was driven by strong commodity prices. Whilst the Adjusted NPAT (1) results collectively did not reach threshold, the Waggaman performance outcomes weighed heavily on what were otherwise around threshold across all three major business units. Overall performance on strategy areas, as outlined in the report, has been solid. Executive changes for FY21 & FY22 There will be changes to people and structure of the Executive Team during 2022. Sunil Salhotra has recently joined in the role of Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer and brings with him deep strategy and planning experience from within the resources sector. A new CFO will be announced in the new calendar year, and the new Manufacturing structure will be settled in time for the AGM. Decisions on the Executive KMP representation for the 2022 report will be made once the final structure is in place. Tim Wall, President – Global Manufacturing & HSE ceased being a KMP on 16 July 2021 and left the company on 15 October 2021. The duties for this role were reassigned geographically to the President – Dyno Nobel Americas, and the President – Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific for the remainder of the financial year. Long serving executive and current CFO, Nick Stratford, has resigned and will leave the company during the 2022 financial year. Nick will exit the organisation according to his contractual terms outlined in section 3.6 of this report. Fixed remuneration There were no adjustments to fixed remuneration during the 2021 financial year. A new regional manufacturing model will be introduced in the 2022 financial year that may result in fixed remuneration adjustments to some Executive KMP. Short-term incentive After two years of no STI payments to Executive KMP, 2021 resulted in payments of slightly above half of the maximum levels. This was driven by a stretch Headline NPAT result, a target result for HSE and positive executive personal strategic metrics. The Adjusted NPAT result did not reach threshold due mainly to lower production from Waggaman. The CEO’s STI result also was lower than other KMP, primarily due to the influence of Waggaman. For perspective and aligned with the better Executive STI outcomes in 2021, was the Company’s share price increased in excess of 40% during the 2021 financial year. Section 4.1 outlines additional information on the Company’s 2021 performance and resulting STI outcomes are provided in section 4.3 of this report. Long-term incentive For the 2018/21 LTI plan with the performance period ended on 30 September 2021, 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 Long Term Value Metrics (formerly Strategic Initiatives) (weighted at 30%). No performance rights will vest for the TSR component, as the Company delivered relative Total Shareholder Return 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 50% of performance rights emanating from achievements against the Long Term Value Metrics measures, which delivers an overall outcome of 15% across all measures. More information on the LTI program, including the 2018 – 2021 performance, is provided in sections 3.3 and 4.4 of this report. 2022 Remuneration framework Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) outcomes including objectives relating to safety, diversity, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions have been included in relevant Executive KMP remuneration outcomes for several years now. This focus will be increased in the 2022 financial year, with relevant Executive KMP having a separate ESG element to their STI measures addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Additionally, the LTI 2021/24 Plan will include a new ESG metric focused on climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in our operations. Also, as a result of the 2021 manufacturing performance and the change to a regional manufacturing model, the MD&CEO and the Regional Presidents will have a new 2022 STI objective dedicated to manufacturing reliability for our operations. We continue to review market trends to ensure our remuneration framework supports the execution of our strategies to increase shareholder value as well as retaining and motivating our key talent and ensuring alignment with our shareholders and other key stakeholders. We believe these adjustments for 2022 will assist the Company navigating through the dynamic and uncertain business conditions ahead. More information on the changes to the 2022 Remuneration framework can be found in section 5 of this report. We look forward to ongoing dialogue with, and the support of our shareholders, and welcome your feedback and comments on any aspect of this Report.

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 “at risk” or performance- related components (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 comparator groups of ASX companies: Comparator groups – S&P ASX listed companies with market capitalisation between 50% and 200% of IPL market capitalisation. – S&P ASX 100 listed companies. – A select group of 21 S&P ASX listed companies from the Industrials, Materials and Energy Sectors, consisting of: Adelaide Brighton, AGL Energy, ALS, Ampol Australia, Atlas Arteria, Aurizon, BlueScope Steel, Boral, Brickworks, CIMIC Group, Cleanaway, CSR, Downer EDI, Fletcher Building, Orica, Origin Energy, Orora, Qube, Reliance Worldwide, Seven Group and Sims. For roles located outside Australia, market-specific data is used as an additional reference point for benchmarking purposes. 6666 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 A summary of the Company’s approach to Executive remuneration for the 2021 financial year, including performance conditions and their link to the overall remuneration strategy is set out below: Fixed Annual Remuneration Salary and other benefits (including statutory superannuation). Refer section 3.2 for more details Short Term Incentive Annual incentive opportunity delivered 50/50 in cash/restricted shares for the MD&CEO (if Minimum Shareholding Requirement (MSR) has yet to be achieved) or 100% in cash if MSR has been achieved. For all other Executives opportunity delivered 75/25 in cash/restricted shares (if MSR has yet to be achieved) or 100% in cash if MSR has been achieved. Refer section 3.3 for more details Performance Conditions Remuneration Strategy/Performance Link Considerations Scope of individual’s role Individual’s level of knowledge, skills and expertise Company and individual performance » » » » Market benchmarking 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. Zero Harm ‘gate’ 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. To align with the Company’s commitment to “Zero Harm for Everyone, Everywhere”. 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. 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. Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) ‘gate’ Requires achievement of a designated Group NPAT as determined by the Board » A minimum NPAT performance level must be achieved for the gate to open. If the NPAT performance level gate is not achieved, all non-safety components of the STI will be capped at target. Financial measures (generally a maximum of 70% 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) » Manufacturing Reliability Strategic objectives (generally, a maximum of 20% of STI award) aligned to personal strategic objectives. Examples include: » Greenhouse gas reduction targets » » » Cost reduction initiatives Cash conversion requirements Product innovation To ensure awarded STI aligns not only with underlying performance, but also with the overall profitability of the business. Commodity price impacts could result in poor profitability which would be inconsistent with stretch bonus payouts. 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. Long Term Incentive Three-year incentive opportunity delivered through performance rights. Refer section 3.4 and 3.5 for more details 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 return (TSR) Long Term Value Metrics (formerly Strategic initiatives) Return on invested capital (ROIC) 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 absolute ROIC performance as well as long term value metrics, and not market factors alone. Minimum Shareholding Executive KMP are required to attain and maintain a Minimum Shareholding Requirement to better align Executive and Shareholder interests. It requires the MD&CEO to defer 50% of any STI awarded until holding the equivalent of 100% of Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR) in IPL shares. This must be achieved within 5-years, or direct purchases of shares would be required. Other Executive KMP must defer 25% of any STI awarded until holding the equivalent of 50% of FAR in IPL shares. 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. 67 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 20212.2 Executive remuneration strategy IPL’s purpose is to unlock the potential in the Earth to help people grow. IPL embraces a set of Strategic Value Drivers that underpin the Company’s business and form the platform for the Company’s future earnings growth and shareholder returns. The company’s commitment to addressing climate change challenges and looking for opportunities in the decarbonization of the world’s energy systems is at the heart of the business strategy and integrated across all the Strategic Value Drivers: Zero Harm – Broadening and setting year-on-year improvement objectives across key metrics including environmental care and process safety. Talented and Engaged People – One IPL collaborative culture with engaged, diverse and inclusive teams focused on customers and value creation. Customer Focus – Partnering with our customers to create added value and practical solutions for today and the future. Manufacturing Excellence – Driving consistently high performance across all of our assets and investigating ways to address our greenhouse gas emissions. Leading Technology Solutions – Innovation on the ground with practical innovations that our customers can use today to improve their operations and environmental outcomes. Profitable Growth – Focus on opportunities that are distinctive to our differentiated technology, core markets, core capabilities and market segments. Under the Strategic Value Driver of ‘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 requisite 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; require integrity and encourage 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 into the process of reviewing Executive and Non-executive Director remuneration. For the 2021 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. 2021 Executive Remuneration Framework 3.1 Overview The charts below set out the theoretical breakdown of the Executives’ total remuneration package for the 2021 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. The restricted shares component of the STI (50% for the MD&CEO, 25% for other Executive KMP) must be deferred until an Executive’s Minimum Shareholding Requirement is attained. MD&CEO Fixed 25% STI – cash/ restricted shares 38% FAR 25% LTI 37% Other Executives STI – cash/ restricted shares 40% At Risk 75% Fixed 33% At Risk 67% FAR 33% LTI 27% 6868 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021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. 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 2021 financial year (2021 STI): What was the performance period? The performance period for the 2021 STI was the financial year from 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2021. Who was eligible for the STI? The MD&CEO and all other Executives participated in the 2021 STI. What was the target and maximum STI opportunity? 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% of FAR for the MD&CEO, and 120% of FAR for all other Executives. What were the Performance Conditions and Measures? Performance conditions under the STI are determined by the Board for each financial year. The performance conditions for the 2021 STI are set out below: Performance Conditions Measures to assess satisfaction of Performance Conditions Rationale for the Performance Conditions Group Financial Performance Group NPAT (Net Profit After Tax). Group Adjusted NPAT (1) To align with the Company’s strategic intent of achieving top quartile performance as measured against S&P/ASX listed 100 companies. Business Unit Financial Performance Business Unit Adjusted EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Tax) (1) Zero Harm Strategic Outcomes Manufacturing reliability. Safety performance balanced scorecard across the dimensions of behavioural and process safety management comprising input and output measures. (2) Measures based on performance criteria for the execution and implementation of strategic objectives and business priorities. These include measures related to greenhouse gas reduction targets, cost reduction initiatives, cash conversion requirements and product innovation. 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 means that results have been normalised to remove the impact of 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. The balanced scorecard category measures include: Personal Safety, Process Safety; Environmental; Significant Event Management and the Zero Harm Plan. 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. Determination of the extent to which each of the above measures was satisfied 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? For the 2021 financial year, to ensure STI awards are aligned with business performance outcomes, the Board determined that an “STI Financial Gate” would operate. The STI Financial Gate reflects a requirement to exceed a designated level of the Group’s NPAT performance, or all non-safety components of the STI will be capped at a maximum of target payment. The STI Financial Gate does not apply to any awards payable in relation to the Zero Harm performance condition, reflecting the primacy of safety. 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. 69 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021What were the weightings for the STI performance measures? The weighting of Executives’ STI performance measures (as a percentage of 100%) for 2021 were: Table 2 Financial Non-financial/ Business/Strategic Group NPAT Group Adjusted NPAT Business Unit Adjusted EBIT Safety Strategic Outcomes 40% 30% 10% 20% 40% 30% 10% 20% 40% 40% 40% 40% 30% 10% 20% 30% 10% 20% 30% 10% 20% 30% 10% 20% Executives – Current J Johns* Managing Director & CEO N Stratford* Chief Financial Officer G Hayne** President, Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific B Lusk** President, Dyno Nobel Americas S Titze** President, Incitec Pivot Fertilisers Executives – Former T Wall** (1)(2) President, Global Manufacturing *Group role **Business Unit role (1) Mr Wall’s business unit measures were based on manufacturing reliability and turnaround execution. (2) Mr Wall ceased as a KMP on 16 July 2021. The duties for this role were reassigned geographically to the President - Dyno Nobel Americas, and the President - Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific for the remainder of the financial year. Is there an STI deferral component? A mandatory 25% STI deferral (50% for the MD&CEO) 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 2021 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 statements which results in a restatement of the audited financial report, on where a participant has materially breached their obligations to the Company. 7070 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021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 2021 financial year? The LTI Plans applicable during the 2021 financial year were the: » » » Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan for 2018/21 (LTI 2018/21); Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan for 2019/22 (LTI 2019/22); and Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan for 2020/23 (LTI 2020/23) (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? The maximum LTI opportunities under each LTI Plan are: » » for the MD&CEO, 150% of FAR; and for all other Executives, 80% of FAR. How was the number of performance rights calculated under the LTI Plans? For the LTI 2018/21 the number of performance rights issued to a participant was based on the market value of 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. For LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23, the number of performance rights issued to a participant was based on the market value of the Company’s shares 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 12 November 2019 and 10 November 2020 respectively. Each issuance was determined by dividing the dollar value of the relevant participant’s LTI opportunity by these outcomes.

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. 71 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 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 is terminated without cause. In those circumstances (subject to Board discretion), the number of performance rights retained by the participant will be reduced pro rata to reflect the proportion of days worked during the relevant performance period and will be tested in the ordinary course. 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? 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. Is there a mechanism for clawback? The LTI Plan includes a clawback provision, which requires the repayment of vested awards where payment has exceeded the restated position. This includes overpayments resulting from a material misstatement or omissions in IPL’s financial statements on where a participant has materially breached their obligations to the Company. 3.5 LTI performance conditions For the LTI 2018/21, the performance conditions are measured by reference to the TSR Condition, a Long Term Value Metrics (formerly Strategic Initiatives) Condition and growth in Return on Equity (ROE Growth Condition). For the LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23, the ROE Growth Condition has been replaced by a Return on Invested Capital (Absolute ROIC Condition). Details of the performance conditions for each of the LTI 2018/21, LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23 are set out below. TSR Condition The TSR Condition (applicable to each of LTI 2018/21, LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23) 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% Long Term Value Metrics (formerly Strategic Initiatives) Condition The Long Term Value Metrics Condition relates to the delivery of significant aspects of the Board approved strategy. For the LTI 2018/21, LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23, the Long Term Value Metrics Condition comprises components aligned with the Company’s strategic drivers: Manufacturing Excellence, Profitable Growth and Customer, Practical Technology & Innovation. Each of these strategic drivers has a direct impact on financial outcomes. 7272 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021The table below summarises the Long Term Value Metrics components for the LTI 2018/21, the LTI 2019/22 and the LTI 2020/23: Long Term Value Metrics Condition Manufacturing Excellence (1) Profitable Growth (1) Customer, Practical Technology & Innovation (1) Rationale Measurement criteria Performance goals Scorecard Manufacturing Excellence is an improvement system, through which the Company seeks to enhance productivity on a sustainable basis. The LTI performance goals in relation to Manufacturing Excellence target delivering sustainable year on year improvements in reliability and efficiency. Profitable Growth focuses on opportunities that include capitalising on our core capabilities. LTI performance goals in relation to this item focus on incentivising the delivery of sustainable productivity improvements. 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 comprise performance goals related to: » Manufacturing volume » Manufacturing unit cost improvement Manufacturing volume: For LTI 2018/21, LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23 – Achievement of target volumes of particular products at specified manufacturing plants. Manufacturing unit cost: For LTI 2019/22 – Improvement in the unit cost of Initiating Systems. Performance in relation to this component comprise performance goals related to: » Cumulative productivity benefits Cumulative productivity benefits: For LTI 2018/21 – Delivery of cumulative savings over the performance period against targets approved by the Board. Performance in relation to this component is assessed against a Scorecard comprising performance goals related to: Revenues from technologies: For LTI 2018/21 and LTI 2019/22 – Annual growth in technology sales from 2018 and 2019 baselines. » Revenues from technologies Margin from technologies: » Margin from technologies » Net Promoter Score » Key customer retention For LTI 2020/23 – Measured on an underlying explosives operating margin basis from 2020 baseline. Net Promoter Score (NPS): For LTI 2018/21 and LTI 2019/22 – Improvement in NPS over 2020 baseline. Key customer retention: For LTI 2018/21, LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23 – Quantitative targets against 2018, 2019 and 2020 baselines assessed by the Board. (1) The Long Term Value Metrics Condition applies to 30% of the performance rights in the grants for LTI 2018/21 and LTI 2019/22, and 20% in the grant for LTI 2020/23. Details of the scorecards and specific performance goals for each component of the Long Term Value Metrics Condition were notified to Executives on commencement of each applicable LTI plan. These performance goals involve commercial-in-confidence quantitative targets and, as such, detailed performance goals are not disclosed, but performance against the goals is disclosed at the end of the performance period. For the LTI 2018/21, these details are set out in section 4.4. For the LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23, the relevant details will be set out in the 2022 Remuneration Report and the 2023 Remuneration Report respectively. The Board will determine the outcome for the relevant component of the Long Term Value Metrics 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 Long Term Value Metrics 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 Long Term Value Metrics Condition are met over the performance period, the extent to which that component of the Long Term Value Metrics 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. 73 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021ROE Growth Condition The ROE Growth Condition was introduced in 2016 and applies to the LTI 2018/21. The ROE Growth Condition measures the compound annual growth in ROE over the performance period. ROE was considered an appropriate measure at that time, as it was a widely recognised and reported metric and reflected the levers required to create shareholder value. It does not however, focus on the efficient deployment of capital to the extent that the Board requires currently, so was replaced by a ROIC condition for LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23 (see below). 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% Absolute ROIC Condition The Absolute ROIC Condition was introduced for the LTI 2019/22, to replace the ROE Growth Condition. 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. The table below sets out the Absolute ROIC Condition for the LTI 2020/23, and the percentage of performance rights that will vest based on satisfaction of this condition: Absolute ROIC Targets Less than 6.0% % of performance rights subject to the Absolute ROIC Condition that will vest Nil At or above 6.0% but less than 6.4% Pro rata from 50% on a straight-line basis 6.4% or greater 100% 3.6 Executive 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 reflect 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: Current Executives Notice period to be provided by the Executive J Johns N Stratford G Hayne B Lusk S Titze Former Executives T Wall (1) (1) Mr Wall ceased as a KMP on 16 July 2021. 52 weeks 26 weeks 26 weeks 26 weeks 26 weeks Notice period provided by the Executive 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). 7474 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 20214. Remuneration Outcomes in 2021 Financial Year & Link to the 2021 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.

Relationship between the Company’s performance and STI outcomes for Executive KMP Relationship between the Company’s performance and Executive KMP LTI outcomes The below graph shows the relationship between the Company’s performance and STI awards for Executive KMP in respect of the year. For the 2021 financial year, Group NPAT (before IMIs and excluding non-controlling interest) increased by 90.5% to $358.6m. The financial gate for the STI opened as outlined in section 4.3 of this report, resulting in Executives earning on average, 58.9% of Maximum 2021 STI awards. The below graph shows the relationship between IPL’s Absolute TSR, its percentile ranking relative to its S&P/ASX 100 peer group over the three years that each tranche operated, and the overall LTI vesting percentage that occurred for each tranche. The LTI 2017/20 that vested in the 2021 financial year delivered 0% of the 50% TSR opportunity and 10% of total opportunity available for that tranche. Note: The absolute TSR for IPL and for the ASX 100 has been calculated using the methodology noted in footnote (2) Table 3.

Measure Weighting (at Target) Weighted Outcome Health, Safety & Environment Balanced Scorecard 10% 100% Headline Financial Group Headline NPAT 40% 150% Adjusted Financial Group Adjusted NPAT 30% 0% Individual Objectives Balanced Scorecard 20% 40% Threshold Target Stretch Commentary Personal Safety (TRIFR) and Process Safety (CCPS Tier 1 & Tier 2) results were below expectations this year. This was offset somewhat with very positive outcomes across both Environmental Incidents and Significant Event Management. The overall outcome was assessed as being on-target for FY21. Headline NPAT (excluding individually material items) delivered a result well above the stretch target. This result was assisted strongly by favourable commodity price movements that helped to deliver 100% of maximum opportunity for this metric. The Adjusted NPAT outcome fell short of the budgeted threshold for this metric. The major contributor to this result was the below budget result delivered by the Waggaman ammonia plant in Louisiana. The final result was 0% of the maximum opportunity available for this metric. This year’s objectives covered five key categories: 1) Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions; 2) Explosives Growth Agenda; 3) Gas Strategy; 4) Manufacturing Excellence Implementation; and 5) Technology Strategy. Performance against the balanced scorecard was assessed as delivering 8% of the maximum opportunity available for this metric. Overall STI Outcome 52% % of Maximum Opportunity Awarded Stretch Between Target & Stretch Target Between Threshold & Target Threshold Below Threshold The Board approved STI outcomes for all Executive KMP on 12 November 2021. The CEO received a target result for Health, Safety & Environment, a stretch result for Group Headline NPAT and no reward for Group Adjusted NPAT. Notwithstanding a strong performance against her personal strategic objectives, the Board exercised its discretion and moderated this component to reflect challenges during the year including the manufacturing performance at Waggaman. Other Executive KMP also received a stretch result for their 40% Group Headline NPAT component. All except the President – Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific also received no reward for their Adjusted NPAT/EBIT component. The President – Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific received between threshold and target for his Adjusted EBIT component. The main negative factor on Group Adjusted NPAT was the sub optimal manufacturing performance of Waggaman during the financial year. Health, Safety & Environment outcomes were above target for the President – Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific, and between threshold and target for the President – Dyno Nobel Americas, and President – Global Manufacturing & HSE, and Individual Strategic Objectives delivered a range of outcomes that are reflected in the differentiated results in table 4. Table 4 – Short term incentives awarded for the year ended 30 September 2021 Details of the vesting profile of the STI payments awarded for the year ended 30 September 2021 as remuneration to each Executive are set out below: Executives – Current J Johns N Stratford G Hayne B Lusk (1) S Titze Executives – Former T Wall (2) Executives – Current J Johns (3) Short term incentive for the year ended 30 September 2021 Minimum share holding allocation (A) $000 Included in remuneration $000 % earned of maximum opportunity % forfeited of maximum opportunity – – 134 144 117 – 1,279 648 534 576 468 469 52 60 66 63 60 53 Deferred Short term incentive for the year ended 30 September 2021 – 23 100 48 40 34 37 40 47 – Cash STI $000 1,279 648 400 432 351 469 – (A) Under the terms of the 2021 STI, to the extent that Executives have not achieved their Minimum Shareholding Requirement the following applies: 50% of the MD&CEO’s award is delivered in cash and the remainder is delivered in restricted shares. For all other Executives, 75% of their award is delivered in cash and the remainder is delivered in restricted shares. Cash is generally paid and shares generally allocated around December. (1) Dr Lusk’s STI payment was converted from US$ to A$ at the year-end rate 30 September 2021, being $1.3971. (2) Mr Wall ceased as a KMP on 16 July 2021. The duties for this role were reassigned geographically to the President – Dyno Nobel Americas, and the President – Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific for the remainder of the financial year. (3) 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 in 2018. The remaining 50% was awarded in the form of performance rights of which 25% vested in fully paid ordinary shares on 30 November 2019 and the remaining 25% of the award vested in fully paid ordinary shares on 30 November 2020. In both cases, vesting was subject to Ms Johns meeting a service condition determined by the Board. The value of the rights was calculated at grant date using the Black Scholes option pricing model as disclosed in the footnotes under Table 7. 7676 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 20214.4 LTI 2018/21 outcomes The performance period for the LTI 2018/21 ended on 30 September 2021. Following testing against the performance conditions, the Board determined that 15% of the performance rights granted under the plan will vest (with the remaining 85% to lapse). Details in relation to each of the performance conditions are set out below. The number of rights vested and lapsed will be reported in the 2022 Remuneration Report. TSR Condition In relation to the TSR Condition, the Company’s relative TSR performance over the period did not achieve median percentile performance of the comparator group of S&P/ASX 100 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). Long Term Value Metrics (formerly Strategic Initiatives) Condition In relation to the Long Term Value Metrics Condition – the Board assessed this component against a balanced scorecard and determined the outcome partially achieved the performance goals across the entirety of the scorecard. The Board has determined that 50% 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. Long Term Value Metric Condition Performance Goals Threshold Target Stretch Commentary Manufacturing Excellence Achievement of Manufacturing Production Rates across six major facilities within IPL’s US and Australian operations. Profitable Growth Customer, Practical Technology & Innovation The goal for cumulative productivity benefits was to deliver a minimum aggregate dollar saving over the three- year performance period. Revenues from Technologies: cumulative growth in total margin from sales of certain technologies. Net Promoter Score: improvement in NPS over the initial baseline. Key Customer Retention: the retention of IPL’s top 10 customers by size and/or strategic importance, whilst not sacrificing margin above forward outlook. Phosphate Hill and Gibson Island achieved target rates of production throughout 2021. Two other sites delivered production rates of between threshold and target, and two sites operated below threshold levels, Waggaman and Cheyenne. A stretch level of cumulative productivity benefits was delivered across the measurement period. The stretch target for this metric was cumulative improvement over the 2018 baseline which was achieved. The stretch objective for this measure was improvement over the 2018 baseline. Noticeable improvement was delivered which equated to a target level of achievement. Target objective of retention was achieved at a margin level no worse than the expected forecast. Vesting for this component (%) 50% Having regard to the outcomes in relation to the input and output measures, the Board determined that 50% of the performance goals were delivered against the balanced scorecard. Stretch Between Target & Stretch Target Between Threshold & Target Threshold Below Threshold 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). 77 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 4.5 Performance related remuneration Table 5 – Details of performance rights granted and vested in the year ended 30 September 2021 and the vesting profile of performance rights granted as remuneration.

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 2021, 2022 and 2023 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.

Overview of Remuneration Changes for the 2022 Financial Year Some important changes have been made to the STI and LTI programs for the 2022 financial year. The changes reflect strategic business priorities over the coming years. Emphasis will be on aligning to the new manufacturing regional management model being initiated and increasing focus on ESG, particularly the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Fixed salary increases for some Executive KMP may result from the move to the regional manufacturing model. This would be as recognition of additional complexity that will impact some roles under this new structure. The STI has an adjusted Manufacturing Reliability metric in response to the 2021 manufacturing results and the change to a regionally led manufacturing model. The MD&CEO as well as the Regional Presidents in North America and Asia Pacific will share responsibility for improving Manufacturing Reliability under this metric. Targeted climate change objectives, previously incorporated within the Strategic Objectives section of STI scorecards, will now be incorporated under a separate Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) category that will extend to all Executive KMP. All Executive KMP will have 10% allocated to this new ESG metric. The CEO’s scorecard will include reinvigoration of the leadership, objectives and culture for IPL, particularly as COVID restrictions are expected to reduce. The new weightings for each Executive KMP for the 2022 financial year are outlined in the following table: Financial Non-financial/Business/Strategic Group NPAT Group Adjusted NPAT Business Unit Adjusted EBIT Manufacturing Reliability Safety Managing Director & CEO Chief Financial Officer President, Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific President, Dyno Nobel Americas President, Incitec Pivot Fertilisers 30% 30% 30% 30% 30% 20% 40% 15% 10% 20% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 30% 20% 30% ESG 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% Strategic Outcomes 15% 10% 10% 10% 10% With the increasing practical and technological challenges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions both in the short term and longer term, the LTI 2021/24 will also have a new 10% ESG component. This component will target IPL achieving its 2025 and 2030 targets on climate change and focus on investing in new technologies to create other meaningful opportunities for IPL to decrease greenhouse gas emissions in the longer term. Introducing the new 10% ESG component results in a reduction in the ROIC component from 40% to 35% and Long Term Value Metric from 20% to 15%. 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. 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 2021 financial year, there were no increases to Non-executive Directors’ fees. Fees paid to Non-executive Directors amounted to $1,549,000 which was within the $2,000,000 maximum aggregate fee pool approved by shareholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting. For the 2022 financial year, the Board has determined that there will be no increase in Non-executive Director fees, which have remained unchanged since 1 October 2014. The table below sets out the Board and Committee fees as at 30 September 2021: Board Fees Committee Fees Chairperson Members Audit and Risk Management Committee Chairperson Members Remuneration Committee Chairperson Members HSEC Committee Chairperson Members Nominations Committee Chairperson Members $532,500 $177,500 $47,200 $23,600 $35,400 $17,700 $35,400 $17,700 N/A $ 8,250 8282 REMUNERATION REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Incitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Table 9 – Non-executive Directors’ remuneration Details of the Non-executive Directors’ remuneration for the financial year ended 30 September 2021 are set out in the following table: Non-executive Directors – Current B Kruger, Chairman G Biltz (1) B Brook T Dwyer (2) X Liu (3) G Robinson (4) Non-executive Directors – Former R McGrath (5) J Breunig (6),(7) K Fagg AO (8) Total Non-executive Directors Board and Committee Fees Cash allowances and other short term benefits (A) Post-employment benefits Other long term benefits Year 2021 2020 2021 2021 2020 2021 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 2020 2020 2021 2020 Fees $000 511 512 162 245 240 73 227 176 217 151 53 239 81 47 1,488 1,446 Superannuation benefits $000 $000 $000 – – – – – – – – – – – – 15 – – 15 22 21 – 6 11 7 5 8 21 14 – 5 – 4 61 63 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Total $000 533 533 162 251 251 80 232 184 238 165 53 244 96 51 1,549 1,524 (A) Cash allowances and other short term benefits include travel allowances.

As at 30 September 2021, all Directors (excluding those joining the IPL Board during the current financial year) were required to hold 20% of their base Board fee per annum in IPL shares and/or rights to shares. All Directors satisfied this requirement. Table 10 – Movements in rights in the Company IPL’s Non-executive Director Fee Sacrifice Plan (the Plan) commenced in 2019.

Share-based payments reserve This reserve comprises the fair value of rights recognised as an employee expense under the terms of the 2018/21, 2019/22 and 2020/23 Long Term Incentive Plans. Foreign currency translation reserve Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign controlled operations are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. The relevant portion of the reserve is recognised in the profit or loss when the foreign operation is disposed of. The foreign currency translation reserve is also used to record gains and losses on hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Fair value reserve This reserve represents the cumulative net change in the fair value of equity instruments. The annual net change in the fair value of investments in equity securities (including both realised and unrealised gains and losses) is recognised in other comprehensive income. 91 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 September 2021 Basis of preparation Financial performance 1 Segment report 2 Revenue and expenses 3 Taxation 4 Trade and other assets and liabilities Shareholder returns 5 Earnings per share 6 Dividends Capital structure 7 Capital management 8 Net debt Capital investment 9 Property, plant and equipment 10 Leases 11 Intangibles 12 Impairment of goodwill and non-current assets 13 Commitments 14 Equity accounted investments 15 Investments in subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates Risk management 16 Provisions and contingencies 17 Financial risk management Other 18 Share-based payments 19 Key management personnel disclosures 20 Retirement benefit obligation 21 Deed of cross guarantee 22 Parent entity disclosure 23 Auditor’s remuneration 24 Events subsequent to reporting date 92 93 94 96 97 98 99 99 100 101 103 104 105 106 108 108 109 111 112 120 120 121 122 122 123 123 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Basis of preparation For the year ended 30 September 2021 The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the subsequent related actual result. 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. Impact of COVID-19 pandemic The Group continues to actively manage the risks arising from COVID-19 on the health and safety of its people and the business continuity of the Group’s operations. The Group’s operations are in industries that have been deemed as providing ‘essential services’ by governments and continue to run in line with the required safety and health guidelines. IPL has also implemented a financial Response Plan that commenced in FY20 to deliver sustained cost savings from business efficiencies and improvement of free cash flow by FY22. The extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the containment strategies imposed by governments and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent impact of these strategies on the operations of customers, employees and vendors. Accounting standards issued The Group adopted all amendments to Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current year. The adoption of these revised Standards and Interpretations did not have a material impact on the Group’s result. Certain new accounting Standards and Interpretations have been issued that are not mandatory for the 30 September 2021 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. These Standards and Interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods or on foreseeable future transactions. Basis of preparation and consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. 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. Where applicable, comparative disclosures have been reclassified for consistency with the current period. The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 15 November 2021. 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 15. 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. 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 15. 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. Key estimates and judgments Key accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 93 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Financial performance For the year ended 30 September 2021 1.

Key accounting policies Revenue 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: » 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. » 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. » Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method. 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.

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 22. 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 in deferred tax liabilities based on management’s assessment of whether additional taxes may be payable and calculates the provision in accordance with the applicable accounting standards including IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments. 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. Certain long standing matters across the Group were resolved during the year and are reflected in the “Sundry items” disclosure line above. 97 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Financial performance For the year ended 30 September 2021 4.

Key accounting policies Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured goods is based on a weighted average costing method. For third party sourced goods, cost is net cost into store. Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial measurement they are measured at amortised cost less any provisions for expected impairment losses or actual impairment losses. Credit losses and recoveries of items previously written off are recognised in the profit or loss. Where substantially all risks and rewards relating to a receivable are transferred to a third party, the receivable is derecognised. To manage cash inflows which are impacted by seasonality and demand and supply variability, the Group has a nonrecourse receivable purchasing agreement to sell certain receivables to an unrelated entity in exchange for cash. As at 30 September 2021, receivables totalling $124.2m (2020: $115.9m) had been sold under this arrangement. The receivables were derecognised upon sale as substantially all risks and rewards associated with the receivables passed to the purchaser. 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 2021, the balance of the supply chain finance program was $207.9m (2020: $296.4m). 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 2021, the Group has assessed that on balance the payables subject to supplier financing arrangements did not meet all of the characteristics to be classified as borrowings and accordingly the balances remained in trade and other payables. 0.0%2.5%5.0%7.5%10.0%12.5%15.0%17.5%20.0%22.5%25.0%27.5%FY17FY18FY19FY20FY21FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Shareholder returns For the year ended 30 September 2021 The graph below shows the Group’s earnings per share and dividend payout over the last five years. Company performance and dividends declared 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. In establishing the expected impairment loss provision, the Group also assessed the impact of COVID-19 and its potential to affect customers’ repayment ability. Subsequent changes in economic and market conditions may result in the provision for impairment losses increasing or decreasing in future periods. 5.

The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 2 December 2021. The total dividend payment will be $161.2m. The financial effect of this dividend has not been recognised in the 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements and will be recognised in subsequent Financial Reports. The dividend reflects a payout ratio of approximately 50 percent of net profit after tax (before individually material items). 99 05101520253035FY17FY18FY19FY20FY21CentsFINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital structure For the year ended 30 September 2021 Franking credits Key financial metrics Franking credits available to shareholders of the Company were $10.1m (2020: $8.9m). 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. 7. 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: » Aiming to maintain an investment grade credit profile and the requisite financial metrics. » Securing access to diversified sources of debt funding with a spread of maturity dates and sufficient undrawn committed facility capacity. » 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: » 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; » return capital or issue new shares to shareholders; » vary discretionary capital expenditure; » raise new debt funding or repay existing debt balances; and » draw down additional debt or sell non-core assets to reduce debt. 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: Target range 2021 2020 Net debt/EBITDA (times) equal or less than 2.5 Interest cover (times) equal or more than 6.0 1.1 9.7 1.4 6.1 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. Self-insurance The Group also self-insures for certain insurance risks under the Singapore Insurance Act. 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 2021, 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 2021 amounted to $3,806.2m (1,942,225,029 ordinary shares). 100 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital structure For the year ended 30 September 2021 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.

Cash and cash equivalents at 30 September 2021 were $651.8m (2020: $554.6m) and consisted of cash at bank of $251.9m (2020: $105.1m) and short term investments of $399.9m (2020: $449.5m). 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. 102 0200400600Bank facilityAUD490mBank facilityUSD200mReg S HKD560mBondAUD431.3mReg SUSD305.7mUSPP Tranche 1USD250mUSPP Tranche 2USD250mAUDmFINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital investment For the year ended 30 September 2021 9.

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 12. 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. 103 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital investment For the year ended 30 September 2021 Amounts recognised in the income statement Amounts recognised in the income statement relating to the Group’s lease arrangements are as follows: Depreciation Interest Total Notes (2) (2) 2021 $mill 42.5 5.6 48.1 2020 $mill 40.7 5.9 46.6 Key accounting policies All leases except for short term or low value leases are recognised on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Short term (12 months or less) and low value leases are recognised in the profit or loss as a lease expense. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentive received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight line basis in the profit or loss over the lease term. Lease liabilities are recognised by the Group at the commencement date of the lease and are measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate. Key estimates and judgments Extension options - The Group considers whether an option to extend a lease is reasonably certain on a lease-by-lease basis, which considers the importance of the lease to the Group’s operations and its economic incentive to extend the lease. The lease term is reassessed upon the occurrence of a significant event or change in circumstance. Incremental borrowing rate – To calculate the present value of lease payments, the Group uses an incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the duration and the financing characteristics of the lease. Where the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily available, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate applicable to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics. 10. Leases The Group has lease contracts for various items of property, plant and equipment used within its operations and office premises. These assets have lease terms ranging between 1 to 48 years for land and buildings, and 1 to 8 years for machinery, plant and equipment.

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. Impairment testing of assets DNA Cheyenne manufacturing plant The further structural decline in thermal coal markets has been identified as an indicator of impairment that impacts DNA’s Cheyenne manufacturing plant, and specifically the nitric acid production utilisation rates. The future reconfiguration of the plant to reduce Nitric acid production capacity in line with lower market volumes, resulted in an impairment of $107.4m. Gibson Island IPL was unable to secure an economically viable long-term gas supply for its Gibson Island plant beyond its current contract. As a result, IPL decided to cease manufacturing operations at the site at the end of the current gas supply arrangements which expire in December 2022. IPL’s Brisbane fertiliser distribution capability will continue beyond the closure of the manufacturing operations. The financial impact of the closure of the manufacturing operations are as follows: » Cash costs of closure: $83.5m (pre-tax); » Non-cash impairment of assets: $102.5m. Key assumptions Details of the key assumptions used in the recoverable amount calculations at 30 September are set out below: Key assumptions 1 – 5 years 2021 US$ 2020 US$ DAP(1) Gas (DNA CGU)(2) Ammonia(3) AUD:USD(4) 427 to 541 330 to 441 3.00 to 3.50 2.46 to 2.95 356 to 480 252 to 315 0.74 to 0.76 0.73 to 0.74 (1) Di-Ammonium Phosphate price (FOB Tampa – USD per tonne). (2) Henry Hub natural gas price (USD per mmbtu). (3) Ammonia price (CFR Tampa – USD per tonne). (4) AUD:USD exchange rate. Terminal value (after 5 years) 2021 US$ 520 3.50 454 0.74 2020 US$ 510 3.21 435 0.72 For both DNAP and Fertilisers APAC, the gas price assumption for impairment testing purposes for the period after the current gas contracts expire, is based on external long term gas production cost forecasts of between $6.90 and $8.00 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% for the Fertilisers APAC CGU (2020: 9%) and 8.5% for the DNA and DNAP CGUs (2020: 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% (2020: 2.5%) for all CGUs. Sensitivity analyses on the discount and growth rates, considering the current volatile market conditions, are provided below. 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 13 – 15 years 10 – 17 years 4 – 10 years 3 – 10 years Useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted where relevant. 12. Impairment of goodwill and non- current assets Impairment testing of goodwill 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. Since 30 September 2020, the Group announced the impact of the extension of turnaround activities and one-off outages at some of its US manufacturing facilities. In addition, the Group is actively managing the risks arising from COVID-19. To date there are no known significant long term structural changes that affect the future cash flows of the CGUs as a result of these events. As a result, the recoverable amounts of IPL’s CGUs continued to exceed their carrying amounts at 30 September 2021. 106 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital investment For the year ended 30 September 2021 Sensitivity analyses Included in the table below is a sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amounts of the CGUs and, where applicable, the impairment charge considering reasonable change scenarios relating to key assumptions at 30 September 2021. Each of the sensitivities below assumes that a specific assumption moves in isolation, while all other assumptions are held constant. A change in one assumption could be accompanied by a change in another assumption, which may increase or decrease the net impact.

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 (or its CGU) other than goodwill 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 (or its CGU) is increased to its recoverable amount. Impairment of other property, plant and equipment During the year ended 30 September 2021 other property, plant and equipment was impaired by $3.2m (2020: $16.3m) as a result of the Group’s fixed asset verification procedures and the abandonment of certain assets following a strategic review of the Group’s operating assets. 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 judgment. 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 cash flows 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 2021, 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. 107 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Capital investment For the year ended 30 September 2021 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 the expected long term growth in cash flows. » 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. 13.

Provisions and contingencies Provisions at 30 September 2021 are analysed as follows: 30 September 2021 Carrying amount at 1 October 2020 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 2021 Current Non-current Employee entitlements $mill Restructuring and rationalisation $mill Environmental $mill Asset retirement obligations $mill Legal and other $mill Total provisions $mill 62.9 7.7 (1.0) (6.3) 0.6 – 63.9 59.1 4.8 28.1 83.5 – (19.1) 0.1 (0.5) 92.1 17.3 74.8 41.1 4.1 – (4.2) 1.1 0.1 42.2 20.2 22.0 92.5 12.5 – (0.6) 3.6 0.4 108.4 1.0 107.4 3.2 0.5 – – – – 3.7 3.7 – 227.8 108.3 (1.0) (30.2) 5.4 – 310.3 101.3 209.0 Key accounting policies Legal and other 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. 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. Employee entitlements Key estimates and judgments 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. 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 15) 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 2021 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. Refer to note 3 for further details. » Contingent liabilities arise in the normal course of business and include a number of legal claims, environmental cleanup 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. 111 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Risk management For the year ended 30 September 2021 17. 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. 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. This includes stress testing of critical assumptions such as input costs, sales prices, production volumes, exchange rates and capital expenditure. 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. The Group’s forecast liquidity requirements are continually reassessed based on regular forecasting of earnings and capital requirements. Outstanding financial instruments The Group’s exposures to liquidity risk are set out in the tables below: Contractual cash flows(1) $mill 0 – 12 months $mill 1 – 5 years $mill more than 5 years $mill 30 September 2021 Non-derivative financial liabilities 30 September 2020 Non-derivative financial liabilities Contractual cash flows(1) $mill 0 – 12 months $mill 1 – 5 years $mill more than 5 years $mill Interest bearing liabilities 1,668.8 18.8 531.8 1,118.2 Interest bearing liabilities 1,870.3 21.2 4.0 1,845.1 Interest payments 462.8 55.0 286.0 121.8 Interest payments 541.4 55.3 299.3 186.8 Trade and other payables 1,250.3 1,229.3 223.0 127.5 44.6 22.7 21.0 87.2 23.8 – Trade and other payables 1,065.6 1,049.4 91.2 81.0 Lease liabilities Bank guarantees 235.4 134.2 41.1 43.5 16.2 95.8 10.0 – 98.5 80.7 Lease liabilities Bank guarantees Total non-derivative cash outflows Derivative financial (assets)/liabilities Foreign exchange options Cross currency interest rate swaps Interest rate swaps Commodity swaps Commodity options Net derivative cash outflows/(inflows) Forward exchange contracts (25.6) (13.1) (12.5) 3,732.4 1,370.4 949.8 1,412.2 Total non-derivative cash outflows Derivative financial (assets)/liabilities 3,846.9 1,210.5 425.3 2,211.1 Forward exchange contracts 61.1 61.1 Foreign exchange options _ _ 7.9 7.9 – 0.6 17.1 7.1 – (0.8) 3.5 7.1 – 1.4 11.9 – – – – – Cross currency interest rate swaps 1.7 Interest rate swaps – – Commodity swaps Commodity options – _ – 18.0 (0.1) – – _ (1.2) (14.2) – – (48.0) 17.2 (3.2) 0.1 (46.8) 13.4 (3.1) 0.1 7.1 4.6 0.8 1.7 Net derivative cash outflows/(inflows) 27.2 24.7 17.9 (15.4) (1) Contractual cash flows are not discounted, and are based on foreign exchange rates at year end.

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: » Sales and purchases » » Trade receivables and trade payables 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. Outstanding financial instruments and sensitivity analysis Foreign exchange exposure to sales and purchases is managed by entering into formal hedging arrangements. 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. The table below summarises the Group’s exposure to movements in the AUD:USD exchange rate and the derivative financial instruments that are in place to hedge these exposures at 30 September: Transactional exposures Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Interest bearing liabilities Gross exposure (before hedging) Hedge of transactional exposures Trade and other payables Forward exchange contracts Interest bearing liabilities Forward exchange contracts Total hedge contract values Net exposure (after hedging) Hedge of forecast sales and purchases Forward exchange contracts Cross currency interest rate swaps Foreign exchange options Total hedge contract values Translational exposures Net investment in foreign operations Gross exposure (before hedging) Hedge of translational exposures Cross currency interest rate swaps Forward exchange contracts Interest bearing liabilities Total hedge contract values Net exposure (after hedging) 2021 USD mill 2020 USD mill 0.4 5.8 (376.2) (378.5) – (1,200.0) (375.8) (1,572.7) 372.1 352.3 – 372.1 (3.7) 1,200.0 1,552.3 (20.4) 2021 USD mill 2020 USD mill (139.3) (151.6) (400.0) (690.9) (138.8) – (300.0) (438.8) 2021 USD mill 2020 USD mill 2,195.7 2,195.7 2,520.4 2,520.4 (251.4) – (500.0) (373.0) (930.0) – (751.4) (1,303.0) 1,444.3 1,217.4 Net contract amounts mill 2021 Net contract amounts mill 2020 Strike(1) 2020 Strike(1) 2021 – USD 400 USD 89 – 0.81 0.77 USD 60 USD 300 USD 160 0.78 0.74 0.71 Foreign exchange options Contracts maturing within 1 year Sold AUD Call Bought AUD Call Sold AUD Put (1) AUD:USD foreign exchange rate Foreign exchange rates The AUD:USD foreign exchange rates used by the Group to translate its foreign denominated earnings, assets and liabilities are set out below: 30 September foreign exchange rate Average foreign exchange rate for the year 2021 AUD:USD 0.7180 0.7521 2020 AUD:USD 0.7148 0.6783 Foreign exchange rate sensitivity on outstanding financial instruments The table below shows the impact of a 1 cent movement (net of hedging) in the AUD:USD exchange rate on the Group’s profit and equity before tax in relation to foreign denominated assets and liabilities at 30 September: + 1c AUD:USD AUD mill 2021 - 1c AUD:USD AUD mill 2021 + 1c AUD:USD AUD mill 2020 - 1c AUD:USD AUD mill 2020 Foreign exchange sensitivity – (net of hedging) Trade and other receivables and payables – (profit or loss) Hedge of forecast transactions – (equity) Investments in foreign operations – (equity) 0.1 (0.1) 7.3 (7.5) 0.4 8.5 (0.4) (8.7) (27.6) 28.4 (23.5) 24.2 113 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Risk management For the year ended 30 September 2021 The fertiliser sales sensitivity calculation is based on actual tonnes manufactured by the Australian fertiliser plants and sold during the year, the average AUD:USD exchange rate for the year, and the average USD fertiliser price.

Where possible, commodity price risk exposure is managed by entering into long term contracts with customers (i.e Ammonium Nitrate and Ammonia) or derivative contracts for input cost (i.e US natural gas). However, in some instances price risk exposure cannot be economically mitigated by either contractual arrangements or derivative contracts by virtue of the products that the Group sells.

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. 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: 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. Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Derivative assets 2021 $mill 517.0 651.8 86.0 2020 $mill 400.8 554.6 132.9 1,254.8 1,088.3 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 2021, the amount netted in other financial assets and other financial liabilities is nil (2020: $382.1m). 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. 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). 2021 Derivative financial assets Derivative financial liabilities Investment in Equity Instrument 2020 Derivative financial assets Derivative financial liabilities Investment in Equity Instrument Level 1 $mill – – – Level 1 $mill – – – Level 2 $mill 86.0 (93.5) – Level 2 $mill 132.9 (158.9) – Level 3 $mill – – 3.0 Level 3 $mill – – 3.0 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 $1,668.8m (2020: $1,870.3m) – refer to note 8. The fair value of the interest bearing financial liabilities at 30 September 2021 was $1,763.5m (2020: $1,949.2m) and was based on the level 2 valuation methodology. 118 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Risk management For the year ended 30 September 2021 Key accounting policies Foreign currency transactions and balances 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. Cash flow hedges 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). 119 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Other For the year ended 30 September 2021 18. Share-based payments 19. Key management personnel 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 2018/21, 2019/22 and 2020/23 LTIs, the performance conditions comprise relative total shareholder return, the delivery of certain long term value metrics and growth in return on equity for the LTI 2018/21 plan and absolute return on invested capital for the LTI 2019/22 and LTI 2020/23 plans. 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. disclosures Key management personnel remuneration Short-term employee benefits Post-employment benefits Other long-term benefits Termination benefits Share-based payments 2021 $000 10,706 144 67 183 2,495 13,595 2020 $000 8,141 163 100 468 1,838 10,710 Determination of key management personnel and detailed remuneration disclosures are provided in the Remuneration Report. Loans to key management personnel Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions In the year ended 30 September 2021, there were no loans to key management personnel and their related parties (2020: nil). Other key management personnel transactions In the year ended 30 September 2021, there were no transactions entered into during the year with key management personnel (including their related parties). 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 2021 $mill 2020 $mill 3.2 2.4 2021 Number 2020 Number Number of performance rights outstanding under the LTI and STI performance plans 6,285,054 5,082,644 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. 120 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Other For the year ended 30 September 2021 Key assumptions and sensitivities Principal actuarial assumptions Discount rate (gross of tax) Future salary increases Sensitivity analysis 2021 2020 2.3% – 7.7% 2.0% – 6.9% 2.0% – 5.0% 2.0% – 5.0% The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in a significant actuarial assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. The following table summarises how the defined benefit obligation as at 30 September 2021 would have increased/(decreased) as a result of a change in the respective assumption by 1 percentage point: Discount rate Rate of salary increase Key accounting policies 1 percent increase 1 percent decrease (26.8) 1.3 32.2 (1.2) 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. 20. Retirement benefit obligation The Group operates a number of defined benefit plans in the Americas and Asia Pacific to provide benefits for employees and their dependants on retirement, disability or death. The Group also makes contributions to defined contribution schemes.

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. 121 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Other For the year ended 30 September 2021 21.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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. 127 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 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. 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. 128 FINANCIAL REPORTIncitec Pivot Limited Annual Report 2021 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. 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.
