CHARTER

Orica has a long and proud history spanning more than 
140 years. From humble beginnings as a supplier of explosives 
to the Victorian gold fi elds in Australia in 1874, to being the 
global leader in mining and civil blasting today, our success

CHAIRMAN’S 
MESSAGE

“2016 was a challenging 
year as management 
focused on stabilising 
Orica’s operational and 
fi nancial performance, 
while positioning the 
business for longer 
term growth.”

FULL YEAR 
DIVIDEND

 49.5c

A more disciplined approach to capital 
management has been introduced, with 
the aim of maximising shareholder value 
through growth and cash returns on all new 
projects, while maintaining safe and reliable 
operations. The Board and management 
team have also agreed on the appropriate 
metrics to measure future capital investments, 
with an agreed return on net assets in excess 
of 20% for all new growth capital projects. 
This is important because it refl ects your 
Board’s and management team’s commitment 
to a return to rigour in fi nancial investments 
and analysis.

The management is also delivering on its 
commitment to embed positive cultural change 
throughout Orica, with the introduction of 
a new Charter, representing a promise to all 
our stakeholders of the values we will uphold 
in everything we do. Your Board will hold the 
management team to account for each and 
every one of those values.

Board renewal

Orica’s commitment to continued Board 
renewal was reinforced during the year 
with the appointment of Karen Moses as 
a non-executive director from 1 July 2016. 
Ms Moses has more than 30 years’ experience 
in upstream and downstream energy industries, 
as a senior executive in fi nance and strategy 
functions. Her experience provides valuable 
additional insight into our customer base, 
while also adding additional fi nancial and 
strategy capacity to the Board.

Finally, on behalf of the Orica Board I would 
like to thank all our shareholders for your 
support. I am proud to be Chairman of your 
Company, representing your interests.

Malcolm Broomhead 
Chairman

Since joining your Board in December 2015, 
I have been reminded of the extraordinary 
reach, depth and breadth of the Orica business. 
While there remains a signifi cant way to go to 
restore Orica’s performance to what you should 
expect, I believe the foundations of the 
company provide us with a basis for optimism.

2016 was a challenging year as management 
focused on stabilising Orica’s operational 
and fi nancial performance, while positioning 
the business for longer term growth.

One area that has been disappointing and 
concerning for your Board is safety, with two 
fatalities at an Orica facility in Chile. The Board 
and management were devastated at this event, 
knowing that two families’ lives have been 
irrevocably damaged. Safety is the Board’s 
paramount concern, always. Your Board 
believes that the CEO and management team 
have been appropriately focused on both fi nding 
the cause of the Chile accident to ensure they 
can understand and share lessons across the 
business to prevent a similar recurrence, and 
in revisiting your Company’s overall approach 
to safety management to reinforce the critical 
importance of health and safety at Orica. 
Most importantly, in ensuring our high risk 
activities are managed to the highest safety 
standards, consistently.

Performance 

Orica’s 2016 net profi t after tax before 
individually material items (NPAT) was 
$389 million, 7% lower than 2015, and 
earnings before interest and tax was 
$642 million, representing a decline 
of 6% on the prior year. 

The Board declared a fi nal dividend of 
29 cents per ordinary share, bringing the 
full year dividend to 49.5 cents per share.

The fi nancial results were delivered in the midst 
of a challenging market, which is expected 
to continue throughout the 2017 fi nancial year. 
Despite this, the management team is taking 
the right steps to ensure Orica is positioned 
for growth over the longer term. 

Business improvement initiatives are also creating 
greater effi ciencies, delivering net benefi ts of 
$76 million for the year, with the expectation 
of more to come in the 2017 fi scal year.

Orica today has a strong management team 
in place, and the right strategy and operating 
model to enable us to capture new – and build 
on existing – opportunities to deliver improved 
and sustainable shareholder value. 

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S 
MESSAGE

Orica Annual Report 2016 

|  05

“Throughout 2017, we 
will continue to focus 
on initiatives that improve 
effectiveness and 
shareholder value.“

Business improvement initiatives

Our focus in 2016 was on steadying our fi nancial 
performance, while continuing with initiatives 
to deliver sustainable benefi ts to best position 
your Company for the long term. 

These initiatives included: embedding our new 
operating model, ensuring clear regional and 
functional accountabilities and responsibilities, 
with transparent measurement and reporting; 
a streamlining of the customer facing touchpoints, 
to help us simplify and improve the effectiveness 
of the way we interact with customers; the 
introduction of a new capital management 
framework to ensure greater rigour around – 
and evaluation of – capital decisions; and 
a major project to pursue effi ciencies across 
our global manufacturing network. Together, 
all our initiatives delivered net benefi ts of 
$76 million for the year. 

Looking ahead

While there has been some external optimism 
on market conditions, we remain conservative 
on the outlook, and expect the external 
environment to remain challenging in the 
near term. Therefore, in FY17 we will continue 
to focus on business, improvement initiatives 
that improve profi tablility and shareholder value, 
and go towards offsetting market headwinds.

Throughout FY17 and beyond, our new Charter 
will also be deeply embedded in every Orica site 
globally. We expect our stakeholders – inside 
and outside Orica – to feel free to hold us to 
account in living the values of our Charter.

Alberto Calderon 
Managing Director and CEO

2016 was characterised by continued challenging 
markets across certain markets, such as the 
thermal coal industry in the USA, and persistent 
strip ratios in the mining sector that were below 
the long term norm. As a result, our overall 
explosives volumes were 5.7% lower than the 
previous year. Earnings before interest and tax 
of $642 million, was 6% lower than 2015. 

To offset these market impacts, we have 
undertaken a number of business improvement 
initiatives to minimise the impact where we could. 
These delivered net benefi ts of $76 million 
in 2016, with more to come in 2017.

Positively, we have started to see a slow recovery 
within the mining sector during the last months 
of the 2016 fi nancial year, which may indicate 
that explosives volumes will now stabilise.

Safety, environment and culture

The safety of Orica’s people and communities 
is paramount, and it saddened everyone in Orica 
that in September an accidental explosion in our 
packaged manufacturing plant in Antofagasta, 
Chile, resulted in the deaths of two of our people. 
Any fatality is tragic and unacceptable, and 
underscores why safety must take precedence 
over everything. We conducted a thorough 
investigation into the cause of the accident 
and will ensure the lessons learned are shared 
throughout the business. While our Total 
Recordable Injury Frequency Rate continued 
to improve, we are determined to do better 
and to be ever vigilant about recognising and 
controlling all our risks. We understand deeply 
the far reaching impact for loved ones when 
someone does not return safely from work, 
and we resolutely focused on preventing any 
serious injuries or loss of life at our operations.

In our environmental performance, Orica has 
continued its Nitrous Oxide reduction programs 
and recycled water programs. This has delivered 
a reduction of more the 630,000 tonnes of 
carbon dioxide equivalent compared to 2010 
baseline levels and a reduction in potable water 
use by more than 2 billion litres.

Our Culture has been a core focus of mine 
since being appointed CEO in May 2015. 
At that time, I committed to our people that 
we would foster in Orica a culture of respect, 
transparency, collaboration and performance. 
During 2016, thousands of our people across 
the globe took part in workshops, interviews, 
an online survey and other engagement 
mechanisms to create an Orica Charter, which 
clearly articulates Orica’s purpose and strategy 
and the values all our stakeholders can expect 
us to live up to in all our actions.

Orica Annual Report 2016 

|  09

Business Summary (continued)

Ammonium nitrate volumes for 2016 were 3.54 million tonnes, down 6% on the pcp. Sales into coal markets across Australia and North America were 
down, with the combination of lower coal prices and lower domestic demand resulting in a number of customers’ operations being closed or undertaking 
mine plan changes to reduce their short-term costs. Partly offsetting this impact was favourable global demand for gold which aided sales volumes into 
this segment across all regions.

Explosives – pricing

Pricing was unfavourable by $86 million. All 
regions continue to remain under pricing pressure 
driven by the oversupply in domestic and global 
ammonium nitrate markets. The pricing impact 
was felt in the manufacturing regions of Australia 
Pacifi c & Indonesia and North America. Orica 
remains focused on maintaining a balanced 
outlook between retaining market share as well 
as securing plant loading. 

Explosives – volume/mix/margin

The impact of volume, mix and margin was 
unfavourable by $75 million due to mine plan 
changes and reconfi gurations across customer 
operations in Australia, North America and Latin 
America and mine closures across all regions. 

FX and infl ation on overheads

Infl ation on fi xed cost overheads had an adverse 
effect of $33 million. The average Australian 
Dollar exchange rate appreciated against 
most major currencies benefi tting earnings 
by $5 million. 

Net business improvement benefi ts 

Net business improvement benefi ts were 
$76 million, from supply chain effi ciencies, 
operations and support cost programmes. 
Key drivers include optimisation of ammonium 
nitrate and Initiating Systems network, plant 
productivity, procurement savings, centralisation 
of transactional activities and further headcount 
reductions.

Minova

Improved performance is driven by lower 
depreciation of $19 million following the 
impairment in 2015 as well as expansion into 
new sectors and industries and the continued 
rigorous management of operational costs.

Other

There has been a number of one-off items 
in the year including customer closure costs 
and provisions in Norway and Venezuela 
respectively, increases to environmental 
provisions and lower associate income.

EBIT performance drivers

Thermal and Coking Coal comprises the primary 
commodity exposure at 51%, refl ecting Orica’s 
extensive customer footprint and positioning 
across Eastern Australia and Indonesia. Pricing 
for coal was down during the year which saw 
a number of customers, particularly those with 
higher cost per tonne operations undertake 
mine plan changes to reduce their short-term 
costs, or close their operations. Sales into gold 
markets were steady, with customers buoyed 
by fi rm global prices. Despite reduced demand 
from Asian steel producers, iron ore volumes 
from Australian producers remained strong 
aided by their low cost per tonne position.

Overall explosives volumes were down 6% (75kt) 
with reductions to Australian surface coal and 
metals customers, partly offset by growth in the 
Pilbara region and Indonesia. Demand from 
customers across the surface coal and metals 
regions were primarily impacted by customer 
mine plan changes, mine closures and operations 
being placed on care and maintenance. Pilbara 
volumes were up and in line with improvements 
in customer production, while Indonesia 
benefi ted from contract wins.

Sales of Initiating Systems, particularly EBS 
products were higher than the pcp, aided by 
improved product penetration. Volumes of 
conventional detonators were down on the 
pcp refl ective of lower AN demand, lost 
customers as well as some product substitution 
with EBS products. Cyanide volumes were 
broadly in line with the pcp.

Revenue from advanced products and 
services as a percentage of total explosives 
revenue decreased to 24%, refl ective 
of market conditions.

Volume, mix and margin was unfavourable 
in the year, attributable to external market 
impacts through mine planning reconfi gurations 
and mine closures, as well as customers opting 
for lower services levels due to operational 
cost pressures.

Price resets and contract renewals had 
a negative impact in 2016 with the oversupply 
in domestic and global ammonium nitrate 
markets continuing to place pressure on pricing. 
Orica remains focused on maintaining a balanced 
outlook between retaining market share as well 
as securing plant loading.

Business improvement benefi ts from 
procurement and supply chain initiatives 
and further optimisation across the operational 
and support workforce were achieved. 
Additional benefi ts were achieved through 
lower overheads and reduced depreciation.

EBIT performance drivers

Sales to the largest segments gold and quarry 
& construction (Q&C) markets remained 
strong, due to high gold prices and continued 
infrastructure projects across the region. Sales 
to thermal coal customers reduced as a result 
of signifi cantly lower coal production impacted 
by energy substitution to lower cost natural gas. 
Weakness in the copper and iron ore segments 
also impacted sales.

Explosives volumes were down 7% (83kt), 
impacted by lower volumes into US coal markets 
(down 16%), and the impact of customer 
drilling and production issues in Mexico (down 
14%). The reduction in US coal market volumes 
was largely through indirect channels as a result 
of reduced customer production and a number 
of mine closures. Partially offsetting these impacts 
were higher volumes and favourable product mix 
into Canadian markets (up 7%) aided by contract 
wins and favourable gold prices. Q&C volumes 
were up on the back of infrastructure growth 
in the US.

Revenue from advanced products and services 
as a percentage of total explosives revenue 
increased to 26%. Service levels increased 
to metals customers in Canada and Q&C 
customers in the US. Product mix was 
favourable with higher premium bulk 
emulsion (up 5%) and improved integration 
and substitution of EBS products.

Volume, mix and margin was unfavourable, 
largely refl ective of lower ammonium nitrate 
volumes across the US and Mexico, offset by 
higher volumes to metals customers in Canada. 
Product and customer mix was favourable 
through the impact of new contract wins 
and improved market placement of advanced 
products and service offerings. The impact 
of previously negotiated contracts has also 
adversely impacted margin in the second half.

Price resets and contract renewals 
had a negative impact during the year, 
refl ective of market conditions and 
continued pricing pressure.

Business improvement benefi ts were 
achieved from the continuation of supply 
chain initiatives; rationalisation of conventional 
detonator facilities; and further optimisation 
across the operational and support workforce. 
The result also benefi ted from the non-repeat 
of business improvement costs in 2015.

EBIT performance drivers

The composition of sales revenue by mining 
commodity remained in line with key commodity 
pricing. Firm gold prices supported activity in the 
segment which increased to represent 23% of 
revenue. Sales to copper customers were slightly 
down versus the pcp, however still represent the 
most signifi cant portion of revenue at 44%.

Explosives volumes were down 8% (55kt) with 
lower volumes in Chile and Argentina as a result 
of lower market demand and unfavourable 
weather conditions. Whilst Chile volumes 
were negatively impacted by a contract loss 
in late 2015, the business has been successful 
in retaining 100% of contracts in 2016 as well 
as benefi tting from an expansion of operations 
at key customers in Brazil, in particular from 
iron ore and copper.

Cyanide volumes were up 16% buoyed by global 
demand for gold.

Revenue from advanced products and services 
as a percentage of total explosives revenue 
increased to 30%. This refl ected the continued 
expansion of Orica’s advanced services offering 
and associated pull through of premium products 
including bulk emulsion and EBS detonators, 
notably in Peru, Brazil and Colombia from 
recent contract wins.

Volume, mix and margin was unfavourable 
in the year, largely refl ective of lower ammonium 
nitrate volumes across Chile and Argentina, 
partially offset by higher ammonium nitrate 
volumes into Brazil and improved cyanide 
sales across the region. Product and customer 
mix was favourable through new contracts 
and improved market placement of advanced 
products and service offerings.

Price resets and contract renewals had 
a negative impact, refl ecting pricing pressure 
in current markets.

Business improvement benefi ts, fl owing 
from the continuation of supply chain initiatives 
and further optimisation across the operational 
and support workforce, had a favourable impact 
in the year.

Overheads and other expenses were 
unfavourable due to infl ationary impacts 
in Argentina and Venezuela, as well as 
provisions taken for assets in Venezuela.

Sales into gold markets across Africa and 
Asia were ahead of the pcp, buoyed by fi rm 
gold prices. Sales into the Q&C markets 
were slightly down against the pcp with 
delays in infrastructure projects across 
Europe partly offset by further penetration 
into niche tunnelling markets in Asia.

Volume, mix and margin was favourably 
impacted by customer and service mix with 
growth to higher margin customers in Africa 
and the CIS, offsetting the loss of lower margin 
business in India. Continued penetration of 
Orica’s tunnels offering into South East Asia via 
higher margin EBS units also aided performance.

Business improvement benefi ts fl owed 
from the continuation of supply chain initiatives 
and further optimisation across the operational 
and support workforce.

Price resets and contract renewals had 
a negative impact, refl ecting market conditions.

The impact of overheads and other income 
was unfavourable. This was due to foreign 
exchange losses from the revaluation of trade 
working capital across the region, customer 
closure costs in Norway and infl ationary impacts 
across the region.

Explosives volumes were broadly in line with 
the pcp. Volumes into the CIS and Turkey, 
aided by new projects and recovery in regional 
markets, showed particular improvement in 
the second half, which more than offset the 
impact of mine closures in the Nordics and 
UK. Volumes in Africa remained ahead of the 
pcp with a strong performance in the fi rst half 
curtailed by a full service contract loss in the 
second half. Asia was down on the pcp, impacted 
by a low margin contract loss in India in 2015.

EBS volumes were up 30% versus the pcp, 
driven by increased penetration into the 
Tunnels markets in South East Asia and 
improved introduction into new customers 
in Africa and the CIS. Conventional detonator 
volumes were down 13% versus the pcp 
impacted by lower demand from a slow-down 
in China’s coal sector.

Cyanide volumes across the region were up 17% 
with improved demand from customers in Africa 
and Asia notably in the second half of 2016.

Revenue from advanced products and services 
as a percentage of total explosives revenue 
increased to 20%, refl ecting strategic growth 
and expansion in the CIS and Africa regions.

Performance summary

Minova operates across a number of sectors 
and industries including coal, hard rock, 
civil tunnelling, construction, geotechnical 
and services. Minova focuses on providing 
quality products, technical innovation and 
safe cost effective solution to technical 
ground control challenges.

Approximately 50% of the business is derived 
from coal markets across North America, 
Europe and Australia. Conditions in these 
markets during the year remained challenging 
with weak commodity pricing and lower 
domestic demand placing pressure on customer 
operations. Large coal companies in the US 
and Europe continue to work through fi nancing 
challenges as well as reorganisation and market 
consolidation. Australia has seen a number 
of higher cost operations placed on care 
and maintenance during the period.

In other sectors and industries, Africa’s 
operations have been impacted by customer 
mine closures in platinum and base metal 
markets. Infrastructure and tunnelling projects, 
particularly in Europe have been lower due 
to project delays.

Consolidation of some global competitors 
in key markets in North America and Europe 
should provide growth opportunities.

Steel volumes were down 36% due to the 
combination of lower demand from coal markets, 
a contract loss in the US, as well as the strategic 
exit from low margin accounts across the regions.

Resins and Powders volumes were down 
30% with lower volumes in North America 
continuing from the fi rst half. Demand across 
Europe, particularly in Poland and the CIS, was 
also down in the second half versus the pcp, 
due to a number of customer closures as a result 
of reorganisation and fi nancing challenges.

Amidst the challenging market conditions 
and resulting lower product volumes, EBITDA 
performance has improved by 3%. This is due 
to a combination of expansion into new sectors 
and industries as well as the continued rigorous 
management of operational costs. Expansion has 
been underpinned by a focus on opportunities 
to differentiate out of lower margin steel products 
and into the application of higher margin resins 
and powders. Cost reduction initiatives have 
aligned with market volumes changes to absorb 
overheads and maintain profi tability. The impact 
of foreign exchange translation across the region 
was unfavourable, however this was offset by 
favourable one-off items.

Minova has completed its transition to a 
stand-alone global business. Geographical 
expansion is underway in complementary 
markets across North & Central Africa, 
Middle East and the America’s. A strong 
pipeline of opportunities in diversifi ed 
segments has been identifi ed, specifi cally 
into hard rock and non-mining markets 
to expand the customer base outside coal.

Net Investing cash fl ows

Dividends(11)

The Group delivered strong net operating 
and investing cash fl ows of $633 million, up 
80% on the pcp. This refl ects the continued 
focus on working capital and strict adherence 
to our capital and investment management 
framework. Group cash conversion was 
106%, an improvement from 81% in 2015.

Net Operating cash fl ows

Net cash generated from operating activities was 
5% higher than 2015. Despite lower earnings 
in 2016, the Group was able to improve trade 
working capital with year-end trade working 
capital fi nishing at $304 million. The improvement 
was delivered across all regions, particularly in 
receivables and inventory levels. Interest paid 
was broadly in-line with the pcp, while income 
tax payments were lower as a result of lower 
taxable earnings.

Debt Management and Liquidity

Interest bearing liabilities

Less: Cash and cash equivalents

Net Debt(5)

Gearing %(6)

Cash dividends paid to Orica shareholders 
were lower as a result of the change to the 
payout ratio policy in the fi rst half of 2016. 
There was also a higher take-up of the 
dividend reinvestment plan in 2016.

Net investing cash outfl ows were down 
approximately 60% versus the pcp, refl ecting 
the disciplined approach to capital spend. 
Investment in growth capital was down 
approximately 60% with reductions across all 
regions. Sustaining capital was down 25% with 
lower number of projects at manufacturing 
sites in line with the group’s scheduled asset 
management program. Plant turnarounds are 
scheduled in 2017 at both Kooragang Island and 
Carseland. The reduction in capital expenditure 
had no impact on safety, environment and 
regulatory capital spend. 

Contributions to the construction of the Burrup 
plant were $51 million, down $24 million on the 
pcp. The plant is expected to be commissioned 
in 2017 and will see the remaining capital spend 
in 2017.

refl ecting the Group’s diligent cash management 
and resulting reduction in net debt.

Undrawn committed bank facilities of

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Performance highlights

Maintaining a robust balance sheet whilst 
generating shareholder value is a core principle. 
This focus has continued throughout 2016 with 
performance improvements evident in the 
year-on-year movements explained below.

Trade working capital(12) The Group 
continued to focus its efforts on improving 
trade working capital with a reduction of 
$203 million. The improvement was delivered 
across all regions, particularly through reductions 
in receivables and inventory levels within the 
supply chain. Payables were slightly lower than 
the pcp. Working capital is expected to increase 
during 2017 due to the build-up of inventory in 
preparation for the scheduled Kooragang Island 
and Carseland shutdowns.

Non trade working capital(13) (NTWC) moved 
by $163 million, of which $23 million was from 
the collection of cash proceeds from PPE sales. 
Other major movements included the non-cash 
actuarial loss of $81 million on the Group’s 
defi ned benefi t plans, and the settlement of 
the Australian Taxation Offi ce Part IV dispute 
and Norway Central Tax Offi ce tax audit of 
$49 million.

Fixed & Intangible assets represent 65% 
of the Group’s total assets. Orica is focused on 
ensuring value is generated from its asset base 
and that future investments are aligned with the 
capital and investment management framework. 
The reduction in assets of $267 million was 
largely due to the impact of foreign exchange 
translation. Total capital investment for the year 
was $263 million, being a 41% reduction from 
the pcp. Depreciation and amortisation expense 
at $266 million was down on the pcp due to the 
impact of asset impairments in 2015.

Other net assets decreased by $48 million 
largely from the impact of foreign exchange 
translation across investments, taxation and 
derivative fi nancial instruments.

Dividend

In May 2016, the Board announced a new 
dividend payout ratio policy, replacing the 
progressive dividend policy.

At the end of each fi nancial reporting period, 
the Board will determine an appropriate total 
level of ordinary dividend per share, taking into 
account the results for the year, balance sheet 
and outlook. The Board expects the total payout 
ratio to be in the range of 40 to 70 percent of 
underlying earnings. It is also expected that the 
total dividend paid each year will be weighted 
towards the fi nal dividend. 

The Board has declared a fi nal ordinary dividend 
of 29 cps. The dividend is 27.6% franked at 8 cps. 

The dividend represents a payout ratio of 55% 
and brings the full year payout ratio to 48%.

The dividend is payable to shareholders on 
9 December 2016 and shareholders registered as 
at the close of business on 11 November 2016 will 
be eligible for the fi nal dividend. It is anticipated 
that dividends in the near future are unlikely 
to be franked at a rate of more than 35%.

Burrup Technical Ammonium 
Nitrate (TAN) Plant

A strategic decision was taken in 2012 to enter 
a joint venture with Yara (operator) for the Burrup 
TAN plant (Orica has a 45% economic interest 
with marketing rights).

Commissioning issues relating to the plant 
are currently being addressed by the operator, 
and Orica is currently evaluating all options for 
the plant for the delivery of economic returns. 
Commissioning plans, focusing on a ramp up in 
production, will be in line with market demand.

The Burrup TAN plant is a 30 year plus asset 
situated in the Pilbara region in Western Australia, 
a market that is expected to grow over the next 
fi ve years.

Risk Management

Orica’s risk management framework (refer 
to diagram below) is consistent with AS/NZS 
ISO31000:2009 Risk Management – Principles 
and Guidelines, and facilitates the ongoing 
assessment, monitoring and reporting of risks, 
which otherwise could impede progress 
in delivering our strategic priorities. 

Our risk management framework supports us in 
achieving our vision for risk management which 
is to integrate it into our operations and culture 
so that we continue to enhance our license to 
operate, improve our business resilience, and 
achieve our longer term strategy and vision. 

Group Risk is responsible for designing the 
risk management framework, supporting 
its implementation in the business, and 
coordinating and aligning risk management 
activities across the Group. The design and 
effectiveness of Orica’s risk management 
framework is evaluated by internal and external 
auditors and independent subject matter 
experts and is overseen by the Board Audit 
and Risk Committee. We use the results of 
these independent reviews to identify and 
implement opportunities to improve our risk 
management framework. 

During 2016, an assessment of Orica’s risk 
management framework was conducted 
by an independent risk management specialist 
and results reported to the Board Audit and 
Risk Committee. Key improvements made 
based on the review included the revision of 
our Risk Management Policy with the purpose 
of re-stating our commitment to risk 
management, and the explicit integration 
of our risk management process with the 
5-Year planning framework. We also undertook 
a Group-wide activity to assess our material 
risks, which were reported to the Board and 
Executive Committee. 

In respect of FY16, the Board Audit and 
Risk Committee has reviewed Orica’s risk 
management framework and satisfi ed itself 
that it continues to be sound.

Material Business risks that could 
adversely affect the achievement 
of future business performance 

Through our risk assessment process, we have 
identifi ed the material business risks that may 
affect the future fi nancial performance of Orica, 
including any material exposure to economic, 
environmental and social sustainability risks. 
These risks are not listed in order of signifi cance, 
nor are they all encompassing. Rather, they 
refl ect the most signifi cant risks identifi ed 
at a whole-of-entity level.

(i)  Safety, Health and Environment

Orica operates within hazardous environments, 
particularly in the areas of manufacturing, storage 
and transportation of raw materials, products 
and wastes. Material risks which can compromise 
the safety and health of our people, contractors, 
and the communities and environments that we 
operate within include an explosion during the 
storage and transportation of explosives, a fi re 
or explosion at a manufacturing site, and the 
loss of containment of toxic materials. 

These risks can cause personal injury and/or loss 
of life, damage to property and contamination 
of the environment. They may also result in the 
suspension of operations and the imposition 
of civil or criminal penalties, including fi nes, 
expenses for remediation and claims brought 
by governmental entities or third parties.

We manage these risks through our focus on 
safety culture that is based on visible leadership 
and encouraging employees and contractors 
that work can only be undertaken when it is 
safe to do so. We also have Group-wide safety 
requirements and procedures which defi ne the 
critical engineering and procedural controls which 
must be implemented across our operations, 
along with controls and monitoring programs 
related to plant and equipment maintenance and 
design. We also have compliance requirements 
for the transportation and storage of explosives, 
and train our employees and third parties in 
the operation and safe-handling of inventory 
and materials.

We continue to identify risk reduction 
opportunities in each of our operations and 
Regions, and focus our ongoing assurance 
program on assessing control design and 
effectiveness for all of our material risks related 
to safety, health and the environment. 

The fatal incident that occurred in our 
Antofagasta, Chile operations in September 2016 
has been fully investigated. Actions from the 
incident have been immediate and ongoing with 
implementation of these actions being reported 
at each Executive Committee and Board meeting.

(ii)  Manufacturing and Supply 

Having a supply chain which enables us 
to source and deliver quality products 
and services in a timely manner is key 
to delivering on our customer promise. 
To achieve this goal we continue to seek 
sustained process improvement initiatives 
and develop, manufacture and provide 
differentiated products, services and solutions 
which enhance value for customers.

Material risks which are inherent in our 
supply chain include a supply chain interruption 
due to external events beyond our control, 
product quality defects, and safeguarding 
our security-sensitive products. These risks 
can pose a threat to the safety and well-being 
of our people and the communities we operate 
in, and result in loss of customers, production 
malfunctions, disruption to our supply chain, 
and reputational damage. 

An interruption to our supply chain may be 
driven by external events such as adverse 
weather conditions or natural disasters; or 
disruption to suppliers and business partners 
within our supply chain, including labour strikes 
or equipment breakdowns. To manage this risk 
we follow internal procedures to select suppliers 
and business partners who meet our standards 
in relation to continuity of supply, and have 
business continuity plans in place should an 
interruption occur. 

In relation to product quality, we conduct 
quality assurance audits and have quality 
control procedures in place for raw materials 
and fi nished goods. We continue to focus on 
our customer feedback mechanism as a way 
of measuring product quality; and are further 
developing quality assessment guidelines for 
suppliers, and manufacturing quality guidelines 
for our sites.

With regard to safeguarding security-sensitive 
products, we comply with legislative controls 
for the distribution and movement of explosives, 
including the ‘Track and Trace’ technology 
requirements for Europe. We also have minimum 
performance requirements and procedures 
in place for managing physical security through 
the supply chain, and are enhancing our due 
diligence requirements for business partners 
(including security providers), suppliers, and 
customers so they meet our requirements. 

(iii)  Regulatory Compliance 

As a global company with diverse operations, 
it is essential that we understand and comply 
with our regulatory requirements so that we 
maintain our license to operate. Core to this 
is our ability to comply with key regulatory 
requirements associated with sanctions, 
anti-trust and anti-bribery; and taxation. 

We have a program designed to manage 
the risk of non-compliance with regulatory 
requirements related to sanctions, anti-trust 
and anti-bribery. Core to the program are 
procedures including the screening, monitoring 
and reporting of customers, business partners, 
suppliers, customers and countries against 
related obligations and sanctions; and the 
monitoring and reporting of requests for 
bribery or duress payments.

In relation to meeting our taxation regulatory 
requirements, we proactively engage with 
taxation authorities and legal representatives 
in various jurisdictions to enhance our 
understanding of our obligations. We have 
a tax strategy, policy and requirements in place 
which guide and govern our compliance with 
our regulatory requirements. 

(iv)  Markets 

We are exposed to macro-economic risks which 
can have a direct impact on our future fi nancial 
performance. This includes the cyclical downturn 
in the mining industry driven by slower economic 
growth in China and lower commodity prices. 
We are also exposed to the oversupply of 
ammonium nitrate (AN) due to lower demand, 
particularly in the coal sector, and the introduction 
of lower cost suppliers into our markets. 

To manage these risks, operationally we have 
put in place measures to curtail production and 
renegotiate supply contracts to provide certainty 
in pricing and volumes. We also have a team 
responsible for monitoring structural changes 
globally so we can understand and plan for 
changing macro-economic conditions. 

(v) Capital Expenditure

We are focused on reducing and managing 
our costs effectively. We have implemented 
a Capital and Investment Management 
framework, governed by a formalised 
Investment Committee, which prioritises 
investment decisions based meeting our 
regulatory requirements and growing 
our business.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Use of tax havens

Tax havens are not used for tax planning 
purposes. Orica has operations in countries 
that are ‘low tax’ jurisdictions. There is genuine 
operational substance in these locations, or the 
entities are dormant.

Orica’s overseas companies are subject 
to Australia’s international tax rules 
(Controlled Foreign Corporation rules).

Transparency

Orica supports the ongoing global development 
of improved tax transparency to increase 
understanding of tax systems and build 
public trust.

On 3 May 2016, the Treasurer of Australia 
released a Corporate Tax Transparency Code. 
The Code was developed by the Board of 
Taxation in Australia and Orica has signed 
the Corporate Tax Transparency Code Register 
and is committed to applying the principles 
and the details of the Code.

Tax contribution summary

In 2016, Orica paid $139 million (2015 
$163 million) globally in corporate income 
taxes and $49 million (2015 $51 million) 
globally in payroll taxes. Orica collected 
and remitted $101 million (2015 $114 million) 
globally in GST/VAT.

The charts show 2016 corporate income tax 
paid in each region (including withholding 
tax and trade taxes), and an analysis of total 
tax paid by type.

In Australia, Orica paid $51 million 
(2015 $63 million) in corporate taxes, 
$17 million (2015 $21 million) in payroll tax 
and $3 million (2015 $4 million) in fringe 
benefi ts tax. Orica collected and remitted 
$45 million (2015 $71 million) in GST and 
$97 million (2015 $111 million) in ‘pay as you 
go’ withholding tax.

Tax Transparency Reporting

Orica believes that enhanced tax transparency 
is a critical element of ethical business behaviour.

Tax Policy – Orica’s approach to tax

Orica’s tax policy and approach to tax is published 
on orica.com. Some important aspects of that 
policy are set out in this report.

As an Australian mining services company 
with global operations, Orica generates a 
substantial amount and variety of taxes across 
its jurisdictions including income taxes, stamp 
duties, employment taxes and other taxes. 
Orica also collects and remits a number of taxes 
on trust including employment taxes and indirect 
taxes such as GST/VAT.

The taxes Orica pays and collects form 
a signifi cant part of the economic contribution 
to the countries of operation.

The Vice President Taxation reports on tax 
matters bi-annually to the Board Audit and 
Risk Committee.

Orica’s approach to tax is applicable 
across the Orica Group and is reviewed 
and updated annually.

Compliance

Orica is committed to complying with all 
relevant revenue laws in a responsible manner, 
with all taxes properly due, accounted for and 
paid. A tax standard and relevant procedures 
are in place to ensure tax compliance obligations 
are managed.

There is an in house global tax team that manages 
Orica’s tax affairs which is supplemented with 
external compliance support where required.

Structure

Tax strategy and governance

Orica’s tax strategy is reviewed by the Board 
of Directors annually. The tax strategy is aligned 
with the overall corporate strategy and 
supplements the Risk Management Policy.

Orica does not support the use of artifi cial 
structures that are established just to 
avoid paying tax and have no commercial 
purpose. Orica will not enter into any tax 
avoidance activities. 

The Chief Financial Offi cer has oversight 
responsibility over the tax risk management 
framework. Operational and governance 
responsibility for the execution of the Group’s tax 
strategy rests with the Vice President Taxation, 
supported by a team of tax professionals. 
External tax expertise is used where required.

Relationships with tax authorities

Orica aims for open, transparent and respectful 
relationships with the Australian Taxation 
Offi ce and other tax authorities globally. 
Orica seeks advance rulings from taxation 
authorities on transactions where appropriate.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

International related party dealings

 (cid:131) The provision of contract research and 

Orica prices its international related party 
dealings to refl ect the substance in its 
operations in accordance with the ‘arm’s 
length principle’ as defi ned in the Organisation 
for Economic Co-operation and Development 
(OECD) guidelines.

Orica has transfer pricing procedures which 
govern the pricing of all international related 
party dealings. Orica benchmarks and documents 
the outcome of its material dealings on an 
annual basis. 

The material international related party dealings 
impacting Orica’s Australian taxable income may 
be summarised as follows:

 (cid:131) The purchase of raw materials and fi nished 
products from related parties in Singapore 
and Indonesia. The products purchased are 
ammonia, caustic soda, bulk explosives and 
initiating systems;

 (cid:131) The sale of raw materials and fi nished 

products to related parties in Peru, Singapore, 
Chile, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. 
The products sold include bulk explosives, 
packaged explosives, and initiating systems;

 (cid:131) The provision and receipt of services from 

entities resident in Singapore, Chile, Germany, 
the United States and South Africa. The nature 
of the services include general management, 
information technology, sales and marketing 
and logistics;

 (cid:131) The use of intellectual property with 

a related party in Singapore. The nature of 
the intellectual property includes technical 
knowhow related to the manufacture of 
Orica’s products and the Orica name and 
trademarks; and

2017 Outlook

While there has been some external optimism 
on market conditions, we remain conservative 
and will continue to focus on business 
improvement initiatives that improve profi tability 
and shareholder value.

Key assumptions for FY17 are:

 (cid:131) Global AN product volumes in the range 

of 3.5 million tonnes, +/- 5%.

 (cid:131) Cyanide volumes expected to be in line 

with FY16. 

 (cid:131) Minova focused on improving performance 
under the new structure, and expected 
to remain cashfl ow positive. 

development activities for a related party 
in Singapore.

Orica has a treasury function based in Melbourne 
which provides loans and accepts deposits from in 
excess of 40 group companies at market interest 
rates. The material transactions are with related 
parties in Germany, Indonesia, Russia and New 
Zealand. It also has a subsidiary in Singapore 
which acts as the Group’s captive insurer.

Australian Tax Return Data for 2015

In December 2015, the Australian Taxation 
Offi ce published specifi c income tax return 
data of corporate tax entities that report a total 
income of $100 million or more. For Orica, this 
information is provided in the table below.

to be offset by FY16 business improvement 
initiative benefi ts and expected FY17 new 
business improvement initiatives. 

 (cid:131) Continued focus on capital discipline will

SUSTAINABILITY

The literal meaning of ‘sustainability’ is the ability to endure. 

At Orica, we have a history dating back more than 140 years, 
through cycles of prosperity and challenge. Right now, Orica 
is experiencing tough market conditions alongside our customers 
but we are taking all the steps to ensure that we are ready to 
benefi t when the cycle inevitably turns. 

Orica is a truly global company with operations 
in over 100 countries and a signifi cant 
commercial, environmental and community 
footprint. We can also confi dently say that 
we lead our industry in the supply of vital 
products and services to the mining sector, 
an engine room for global growth. Our approach 
to undertaking these activities in a safe and 
responsible manner has been critical to our ability 
to deliver sustainable fi nancial performance, 
to maintain the long-term support of those 
who regulate our operations and to remain 
welcome in the many communities in which 
we live and operate.

Tragically, in September this year, an explosion 
at our Antofagasta plant in Chile resulted in the 
deaths of two of our people. Both men leave 
behind devastated families and friends and their 
loss continues to be deeply felt by the Orica 
community. This accident has had a profound 
impact on our company and can never happen 
again. We continue to investigate the cause 
of the accident and learn the lessons to ensure 
the future safety of our people.

This tragedy has put into sharp perspective the 
critical importance of our ongoing commitment 
to safety and always acting in a responsible and 
sustainable manner. In this regard, we have an 
important opportunity to take stock of Orica’s 
performance. If we are to maintain our license 
to operate and provide a fi rm underpinning for 
our long-term commercial performance and 
investments then we simply must do better. 

Disappointingly, even before taking into 
account the events at Antofagasta, our 
overall performance in 2016 on meeting 
our sustainability targets was well below 
where it should be. Our annual sustainability 
scorecard will be released in our Sustainability 
Report. We have not met many of our key 
environmental and safety targets. 

During the course of the year we took 
important steps to improve our performance. 
The implementation of the new operating 
model will deliver higher levels of accountability 
across our regional businesses for the delivery of 
performance targets including our sustainability 
objectives. We also released the Orica Charter 
that outlines our core purpose “… to make 
our customers successful, every day, all around 
the world. We take pride in operating safely, 
responsibly and sustainably. Together these 
enable us to grow and create enduring value 
for our shareholders.” The Charter will be 
an important anchor point for determining 
our priorities and shaping a workplace culture 
that further supports sustainable growth 
and behaviours. 

We have also progressed a number 
of specifi c initiatives. This includes the 
updating, development and implementation 
of a number of Operating Standards outlining 
the minimum safety, environmental and 
stakeholder requirements for our operations. 
We are moving towards a more rigorous 
approach and a lift in performance. It will 
take time and we have much work to do. 
We owe nothing less to our people, their 
families and the communities we operate in. 

This year we have also undertaken an 
independent assessment of our material 
sustainability risks. This analysis identifi es 
those areas we must excel in to build a robust, 
resilient and commercially sustainable business. 
In the past, Orica has reported on many 
of the issues highlighted in this materiality 
assessment, albeit under different headings. 
The assessment has also highlighted new 
areas for disclosure, including our long-term 
fi nancial performance and the impacts on the 
business from climate change.

The issues identifi ed by the independent 
assessment are covered in our Sustainability 
Report which includes a summary of our work 
in 2016, our priorities for the coming year and 
our long term organisational commitments. 

Our Sustainability Report commits us to 
developing a Company-wide position on 
climate change and emissions reduction 
over the coming year. Global temperatures 
are on the rise as a consequence of a build-up 
of greenhouse gases and we have a responsibility 
to contribute to global and local efforts to 
minimise its impact. As a heavy energy user 
and emitter, our operations are also directly 
exposed to the transition underway towards 
a low carbon future. Our customers will also 
be impacted and we believe we can play 
an important role in reducing sector-wide 
emissions through the on-going innovation 
of our products and services. 

Orica Annual Report 2016 

|  25

Support from local communities close to 
our production sites is critical for our ability 
to invest with confi dence in those assets and 
to guaranteeing supply to our customers. Like us, 
these communities should want our sites to grow 
and prosper and to play a positive role in the 
socio-economic fabric of their lives. That is why 
we have renewed our commitment to community 
investment programs over the coming year 
despite persistent tough trading conditions. 

The progress of our remediation efforts at those 
sites under our care with legacy environmental 
issues continues. The return of land that was 
previously contaminated at our Botany site to 
productive use in 2016 is a particular highlight. 

The Sustainability Report also includes 
information on diversity at Orica and the 
expected high standards and preferred 
behaviours for the workplace we have 
identifi ed in our newly released Charter. 
Orica remains deeply committed to building 
a respectful, trusting and richly diverse culture 
at Orica, which is a critical foundation for our 
long-term business performance and resilience. 

Another fi rst for this year’s Sustainability Report 
will be the inclusion of Orica’s position on Tax 
Transparency. Orica is committed to not only 
doing the right thing by the environment and our 
communities. We must also refl ect our broader 
commitment to operational excellence by being 
an exemplar of good governance and corporate 
behaviour, including paying our fair share of taxes 
in those countries we operate in.

|  Orica Annual Report 2016

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Environmental regulations 

Orica aspires to be a business that does no harm to people and the environment. 

To deliver on this aspiration, Orica, as a minimum, seeks to be compliant with all applicable environmental laws and regulatory permissions relevant to its 
operations. Where instances of non-compliance occur, Orica’s procedures require that relevant governmental authorities are notifi ed in accordance with 
statutory requirements and internal investigations are conducted to determine the cause of the non-compliance to ensure the risk of recurrence is minimised.

The Company has committed major investments, both in terms of capital and resources, to improve its environmental performance at key sites in addition 
to its general maintenance program. The Company is working closely and co-operatively with regulators and government agencies in relation to these 
initiatives, as well as enhancing community engagement and consultation.

Orica continues to devote considerable resources to cleaning up legacy sites and is committed to dealing with environmental issues from the past in an honest 
and practical way.

Environmental prosecutions

Orica is not currently the subject of any legal proceedings involving environmental prosecutions. 

More specifi c details about Orica’s sustainability initiatives and performance, including safety, health and environment, can be found on the Orica website 
– www.orica.com/sustainability.

Indemnifi cation of offi cers

The Company’s Constitution requires the Company to indemnify any person who is, or has been, an offi cer of the Company, including the directors, 
the secretaries and other executive offi cers, against liabilities incurred whilst acting in good faith as such offi cers to the extent permitted by law.

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the Company has entered into a Deed of Access, Indemnity and Insurance with each of the Company’s 
directors and, in certain instances, specifi c indemnities have been provided. No director or offi cer of the Company has received benefi ts under an indemnity 
from the Company during or since the end of the year.

The Company has paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring offi cers of the Company and of controlled entities, against a liability for costs and 
expenses incurred by them in defending civil or criminal proceedings involving them as such offi cers, with some exceptions. The contract of insurance 
prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability insured against and the amount of the premium paid. 

Non-audit services

During the year, KPMG, the Company’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to its audit responsibilities.

The Board is satisfi ed that the provision of non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

 (cid:131) all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Board Audit 

and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

 (cid:131) the non-audit services provided do 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 Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

No offi cer of the Company was a former partner or director of KPMG. A copy of the lead auditor’s independence declaration as required under 
Section 307C of the Corporations Act is contained on page 54 of the Annual Report and forms part of this Directors’ report.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Company, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the year 
are disclosed in note 23 to the Annual Report.

Executive Remuneration 

Section 1: Introduction and summary of FY2016 outcomes and changes proposed for FY2017

This section summarises Orica’s overall approach to executive remuneration, provides a summary of FY2016 outcomes and highlights proposed 
changes for FY2017.

Objectives

The objectives of Orica’s executive remuneration framework are to:

 (cid:131) attract, motivate and retain high calibre executive talent;

 (cid:131) align their interests with those of shareholders; 

 (cid:131) incentivise superior performance against measures that are linked to shareholder value creation; and

 (cid:131) be clear and transparent.

Current framework

Orica’s executive remuneration framework consists of three elements, namely Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR), Short-Term Incentives (STI) and 
Long-Term Incentives (LTI). Within this framework:

 (cid:131) FAR is benchmarked to the median of an external market group to attract quality people who can deliver value for shareholders;

 (cid:131) STIs are designed to reward executives for the achievement of strategic and operational measures; and

 (cid:131) LTIs are designed to align executive remuneration with returns to shareholders over the longer term.

The manner in which FAR, STI and LTI operate together is described in greater detail in Sections 3 and 4.

Orica will undertake a comprehensive review of its incentive structures during FY2017 for implementation in FY2018. The key objectives of this review will 
be to focus on:

 (cid:131) fi tness for purpose – alignment to business strategy;

 (cid:131) simplicity and transparency;

 (cid:131) higher equity based remuneration to align with shareholder returns; and

 (cid:131) global competitiveness.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT – 
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

Section 1: Introduction and summary of FY2016 outcomes and changes proposed for FY2017 (continued)

(a)  Financial outcomes for FY2016 

Orica’s 2016 net profi t after tax from continuing operations before individually material items (NPAT) was $389.1 million, 7% lower than 2015, and 
earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) was $642.2 million, representing a decline of 6% on the prior year. 

In a year of challenging markets, management focussed on optimising Orica’s operational and fi nancial performance to deliver sustainable benefi ts 
for the longer term. This included embedding a new regionally focussed operating model, increasing customer focus, the introduction of a new capital 
management framework, and a major project to pursue effi ciencies across Orica’s global manufacturing network.

In determining remuneration outcomes, the Board sought to balance achievement in these key areas with overall fi nancial outcomes to shareholders. 
Following management’s recommendation, the Board has also taken into consideration the impact of two tragic fatalities in Antofagasta, Chile in making 
downward adjustments to the STI outcomes for all Executives.

Executive remuneration outcomes for FY2016 included no change in fi xed remuneration, average STI outcomes at approximately 39% of maximum 
opportunity, partially deferred, and no vesting of LTIs.

The table below provides a summary of the actual remuneration received for the performance year either as cash, other benefi ts or, in the case of prior equity 
awards, the value which vested. Unlike the statutory table in Section 5.1, which represents remuneration outcomes prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, this table shows the actual remuneration value received by current/continuing Executive Key Management Personnel (Executives).

Section 1: Introduction and summary of FY2016 outcomes and changes proposed for FY2017 (continued)

(c)  FY2016 Short-Term Incentive 

Of the fi nancial measures: EBIT and NPAT thresholds were not met; Gross Margin was between Target and Maximum; while Cash Conversion was 
at Maximum. 

Overall Safety performance against scorecard metrics was between Target and Maximum refl ecting that All Worker Reportable Case Rate (AWRCR) 
continued to improve, signifi cant progress was made against critical overdue actions and completion of Safety Health & Environment (SHE) Assessments 
was above target. The downward adjustments to STI on account of the fatalities in Antofagasta, Chile are discussed below.

The Board considered performance against each element of the Business Scorecard for the STI Plan and applied its discretion to reach what it believed 
to be fair outcomes for our shareholders and Executives. In particular, as a consequence of the two tragic fatalities in Antofagasta, Chile, following 
management’s recommendation, the Board decided that it was appropriate that the discretionary component of the STI be signifi cantly reduced for both 
the CEO and Executives. This resulted in overall Business Performance outcomes being reduced by 20% for the CEO and 10% for Executives. In addition, 
the Board exercised its discretion to adjust Safety outcomes to zero for the Group Executive, Manufacturing & Supply, resulting in his Business Performance 
outcome being reduced by 38%.

The Board considers that these adjustments refl ect our commitment to the safety of our people, the level of oversight which the Chief Executive and 
other Executives have for safety leadership and the level of management control over the causal factors of the fatalities.

Personal outcomes for Executives, including the personal discretionary component, refl ected individual Executive contribution to Group outcomes and 
delivery of regional and functional priorities aligned to the new operating model. 

In aggregate, and following the safety-related reduction to the Business Performance score, Business and Personal outcomes resulted in Executive KMP 
receiving an average STI award at around 39% of maximum and forfeiting on average 61% of their opportunity. 50% of the STI paid to the Managing 
Director and CEO and one-third of the STI paid to other Executive KMP will be delivered in deferred shares which remain restricted for a further 12 months 
following award.

(d)  Long-Term Incentives tested this year 

No benefi t has been derived from the Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (LTEIP) awards tested this year. The performance condition for loan forgiveness 
was not met and the value of Orica shares was less than the outstanding loan balance at the end of the performance period. Accordingly, all shares 
were surrendered and forfeited to Orica in full settlement of the loan balance. 

The FY2013 award under the Long Term Incentive Righs Plan (LTIRP), a legacy award held by some Executives, was also tested this year. The performance 
condition for LTIRP vesting was also not met and the awards lapsed.

(e)  Summary of change proposed in respect of FY2017 

A change will be made to the Return on Capital (ROC) vesting schedule in the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plan to better align to shareholder outcomes 
and current market conditions. 

For the FY2017 grant only, the threshold at which vesting occurs is to be increased while the level of ROC at which maximum vesting occurs will be reduced 
to recognise the current challenging market conditions. Further detail is in Section 7.7.

for other Executives 
to refl ect the two tragic 
fatalities in Antofagasta, 
Chile.

The Board exercised its 
discretion to adjust Safety 
outcomes to zero for 
the Group Executive, 
Manufacturing & Supply, 
resulting in his Business 
performance outcome 
being reduced by 38%.

During FY2016 the 
FY2013 award under 
the Long Term Equity 
Incentive Plan (LTEIP) 
was eligible for testing. 

No loan forgiveness was 
available and no capital 
gains were made. Shares 
awarded were forfeited 
back to Orica

The FY2013 LTIRP 
award was also 
tested and forfeited.

Section 3: Remuneration Framework (continued)

3.2  Remuneration positioning 

Executive FAR is generally set with reference to the market median for Australian listed companies of a comparable market capitalisation to Orica (between 
50% to 200% of Orica’s 12 month average market capitalisation). In addition, and particularly for roles located outside of Australia, additional sector 
or local industry specifi c data is taken into consideration in benchmarking Executive remuneration (where appropriate). 

For each performance measure, threshold, target and maximum targets are set. For performance below threshold, no reward is earned. For performance 
at target, target rewards are earned. For performance at maximum, maximum rewards are earned. For performance between target and maximum, 
rewards are earned on a linear basis. 

3.3  Remuneration opportunity

Set out below is the current fi xed annual remuneration, target short-term and long-term incentive grant opportunity for each of the Executive KMP 
in respect of fi nancial year 2016.

from 1 January of the following year. The amounts set out in the table above are the Executives’ fi xed annual remuneration as at 30 September 2016. 

(2)  The number of performance rights allocated is determined based upon the 5-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Orica shares at the time of award. 

Performance rights were allocated to Executives under the FY2016 LTIP offer in February 2016.

(3)  Alberto Calderon’s FY2016 LTI grant was capped to 220,000 rights being the maximum number of rights approved by Orica shareholders at the 2015 AGM. 

This represents a grant value equal to 160% of Alberto Calderon’s fi xed remuneration and below the grant value specifi ed in Alberto Calderon’s contract of 180%.

3.4  Remuneration mix 

The Board considers that a signifi cant proportion of Executive remuneration should be ‘at risk’ to provide alignment with the interests of shareholders 
and to drive performance against the Company’s short and longer term business objectives.

3.5 Summary of terms and conditions of at risk components 

The key details of the Orica STI and LTI, are summarised below. 

Short-Term Incentive 

Long-Term Incentive 

Description

Annual incentive plan delivered in cash and deferred shares.

For the MD & CEO, 50% of any STI award is delivered in cash 
and 50% in deferred shares. 

For other Executives, two thirds of any STI award is delivered 
in cash and one third is delivered in deferred shares following 
a 12 month deferral period. 

Award of performance rights subject to a three year 
performance period.

Performance 
Conditions 

Business performance measures representing fi nancial and 
non-fi nancial conditions. Personal performance measures 
representing objectives specifi c to each Executive’s area 
of infl uence.

There are two performance conditions, 50% of Rights granted 
are subject to a Return on Capital (ROC)(1) performance condition 
and 50% are subject to Relative Total Shareholder Return (RTSR) 
performance(2).

Business and Personal objectives operate independently and the 
weighted result for each is then multiplied together to get the 
fi nal result (see diagram below). 

Business
Performance
0 –1.25
(Target 1)

Personal 
Performance
0 –1.6
(Target 1)

STI Target %

FAR

ROC was selected as it supports Orica’s continued focus on 
effective capital allocation. RTSR was selected to align Executive 
reward under LTIP with returns delivered to shareholders. The ASX 
100 was chosen as the RTSR comparator group because, in the 
absence of a suffi cient number of direct competitor companies, 
the ASX 100 represents a meaningful group of companies that 
Orica competes with for shareholder capital and Executive talent.

Details and weightings of the FY2016 performance conditions are 
outlined in section 4.2.

Performance 
period 

Performance is measured over the fi nancial year preceding the STI 
payment date. 

Three fi nancial years. 

Amount 
that can 
be earned 

Each objective has a minimum threshold below which no incentive 
is paid for that measure, and a maximum limit that caps payment 
(with a straight line scale applied between threshold and maximum). 

The number of Rights issued provides Executive KMP, excluding 
the MD & CEO, a grant opportunity in face value terms of 100% 
of FAR (estimated 65% fair value equivalent).

Mandatory deferral of 50% of the STI payment for MD & CEO 
and one third for all other Executives into deferred Orica shares. 
The number of shares is based on the 5 day VWAP at the grant 
date after the annual results are announced. 

For the MD & CEO, the number of Rights to be issued for FY2017 
(subject to shareholder approval) will provide a grant opportunity 
in face value terms of 180% of FAR (estimated 117% fair value 
equivalent). For reasons of transparency to shareholders and 
simpler communication to Executives, Orica uses a face value 
allocation methodology. 

Using face value, the actual number of Rights issued to each 
Executive is determined by dividing their respective LTI potential 
remuneration (expressed as a percentage of FAR) by the 5 day 
volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Orica shares at the 
time of award.

Long-Term Incentive 

Vesting 

STI – Cash Component 
STI outcomes are determined by the Board at the end of the 
fi nancial year.

The number of Rights that vest is determined by performance 
outcomes compared with pre-determined Company performance 
measures.

Financial measures comprising EBIT, NPAT, Gross Margin and 
Cash Conversion and safety measures comprising AWRCR, 
Process Safety, Risk assessment and audits are calculated based 
on the achievement against targets set at the commencement 
of the fi nancial year.

The Board confi rms fi nal awards based on overall Group and 
Personal performance. In accordance with the plan rules, the 
Board retains an overriding discretion in relation to payments 
(if any) under the STI Plan, regardless of whether any or all of the 
STI performance objectives have been satisfi ed.

STI Deferred shares 
Use of deferral is designed to further align Executive remuneration 
to shareholders’ interests by delivering an increased proportion 
of remuneration in Orica equity and to provide the ability for 
entitlements to be forfeited for misconduct as required.

Executives generally will forfeit all deferred shares if they cease 
employment with Orica by reason of resignation or termination 
for cause during the 12 month deferral period, which commences 
on the grant date.

Each performance measure has a minimum level of performance, 
below which no vesting will occur. If the minimum performance 
level is not achieved, the Rights subject to this performance measure 
will be forfeited. The performance condition is only tested once 
at the end of the performance period. Any Rights that do not vest 
following testing of the performance conditions at the end of the 
performance period will lapse.

Executives receive dividends on unvested Orica shares during the 
12 month deferral period. 

Executives do not receive dividends on Orica LTI rights during the 
3 year vesting period.

Access to 
dividends 

Forfeiture 
of award 

An Executive will not be eligible for a payment if their employment 
is terminated due to misconduct or poor performance, nor in 
general if they resign before the end of the STI performance 
period. In limited circumstances approved by the Board, a participant 
may be awarded a pro-rata STI payment if they cease employment 
as a good leaver.

Change 
of control 

Board discretion to pay some or all of the STI that may have been 
payable for that fi nancial year. Unvested deferred shares would 
vest on change of control. 

If an Executive ceases employment with Orica due to resignation 
or dismissal for misconduct before the vesting date of the Rights, 
the Rights are forfeited and the Executive receives no benefi t. 
In the case where an Executive ceases employment with Orica 
for any other reason such as retirement, redundancy, mutually 
agreed separation, ill-health etc., the cessation of employment 
provisions of the LTIP rules enable the Board to determine the 
treatment of unvested Rights.

Board discretion to determine treatment of unvested rights. 
If it does not exercise its discretion, a pro-rata number of rights 
will vest only to the extent any performance conditions have been 
met on change of control.

(1)  ROC = EBITDA per year/Enterprise Value. 

EBITDA = Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Individual Material Items, Depreciation, Amortisation, net borrowing costs and Tax. 
Enterprise Value = Total Shareholders’ Equity + Net Debt (at end of each year during the performance period), refer to note 3 of the Annual Report. 
ROC is measured at the end of each fi nancial year and averaged over 3 years following the end of the last fi nancial year of the performance period (3). 

(2)  RTSR is calculated by measuring a combination of share price appreciation and dividends re-invested to show the total return to shareholders over the three year 

performance period. Orica’s RTSR is then ranked on a relative basis with the RTSR performance against all companies in the ASX 100 (with no exclusions). The comparator 
group is determined by the constituents of the ASX 100 at the start of the performance period. 

  Orica receives an independent report that sets out Orica’s TSR growth and that of each company in the RTSR comparator group. 
(3)  The Board reviewed the unvested long-term incentive grant made in 2015 under the LTIP, to ensure that Executives did not gain an advantage as a result of the asset 

impairment in FY2015. The Board determined for the purposes of calculating ROC in relation to the 2015 LTIP grant, it is to be calculated on the basis of the unimpaired 
Enterprise Value i.e., the impairment ($1.692 billion) will be added back to Enterprise Value at the end of each of the three performance years (2015–2017). For the FY2016 
grant (to be tested in 2018) ROC will be calculated against the Enterprise Value as reported.

Section 4: Performance and outcomes (continued)

(1)  Performance level achieved is shown prior to the adjustments made by the Board to refl ect the fatalities at the packaged explosives manufacturing plant in Antofagasta (Chile).
(2)  Measures number of recordable cases (using Occupational Safety and Health Administration (USA) guidelines) per 200,000 hours worked by employees and contractors.
(3)  Measures percentage completion of scheduled regional and site-level self-assessments. 
(4)  For STI purposes EBIT is defi ned as earnings from Continuing Operations before interest, tax and individually material items.
(5)  NPAT is defi ned as Net Profi t After Tax from Continuing Operations before individually material items attributable to shareholders of Orica Limited.
(6)  Represents average STI outcomes for reportable Executives (compared to maximum STI opportunities).

In analysing FY2016 outcomes, performance against each component is outlined below: 

 (cid:131) NPAT and EBIT targets were not achieved.

 (cid:131) Gross Margin was achieved between Target and Maximum. Cash Conversion was achieved at Maximum performance.

 (cid:131) Safety targets were set with input from the Board Safety, Health and Environment Committee and refl ect Orica’s commitments to continuously 

improving safety performance.

  Overall Safety performance against scorecard measures was between Target and Maximum, refl ecting that AWRCR continued to improve, signifi cant 

progress was made against critical overdue actions and completion of SHE Assessments was at Maximum performance. 

 (cid:131) The Board considered performance against each element of the Business scorecard and applied its discretion to reach what it believed to be fair 

outcomes for our shareholders and Executives. 

In particular, as a consequence of the two tragic fatalities in Antofagasta, Chile, following management’s recommendation, the Board decided that 
it was appropriate that the discretionary component of the STI be signifi cantly reduced for both the CEO and Executives. This resulted in overall Business 
Performance outcomes being reduced by 20% for the CEO and 10% for Executives. In addition, the Board exercised its discretion to adjust Safety 
outcomes to zero for the Group Executive, Manufacturing & Supply, resulting in his Business Performance outcome being reduced by 38%.

  The Board considers that these adjustments refl ect our commitment to the safety of our people, the level of oversight which the Chief Executive 

and other Executives have for safety leadership and the level of management control over the causal factors of the fatalities.

 (cid:131) Personal objectives for each Executive KMP were determined and approved by the Board at the commencement of the fi nancial year. In fi nancial 

year 2016, these objectives related to strategic priorities for each Executive KMP, including embedding the new operating model and other regional 
or functional initiatives, linked to revenue improvement and cost reduction. 

 (cid:131) In aggregate, Business and Personal outcomes resulted in Executives receiving an average STI award at around 39% of maximum and forfeiting 

on average 61% of their opportunity.

(1)  For Australian based Executives, maximum STI opportunity is calculated on FAR inclusive of superannuation. For overseas based executives, maximum STI opportunity does 

not include the equivalent pension contributions.

(2)  Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, STI paid to Executives as deferred equity is accounted for as a share based payment and expensed over two years. Accordingly, 50% 
of the value of the deferred equity arising from the 2016 STI outcome has been included in each Executive’s share based payments expense in 2016 and the remainder will 
be included in 2017.

(3)  Maximum STI opportunity refl ects a pro-rated calculation of FAR paid in respect of employment in Singapore and Australia.
(4)  A J Melbourne was eligible for a pro-rata STI payment from the date of his appointment.
(5)  N R Bowen was not eligible for a payment under the FY2016 STI Plan. Refer to Section 7.6 for details of the severance payment made.

LTEIP was the previous loan based equity incentive plan. The FY2013 LTEIP award was tested in November 2015. The availability of loan forgiveness under 
the FY2013 LTEIP award was subject to two performance hurdles, namely Earnings per Share (EPS) growth and Relative Total Shareholder Return (RTSR) 
against a comparator group of the ASX 100 (determined at the time the LTEIP award was granted). As the compound EPS growth over the plan period 
was below the threshold performance level, and Relative Total Shareholder Return was below median against the comparator group, no loan forgiveness 
was applied. Executives achieved no capital gains on their shares and forfeited their FY2013 LTEIP shares in full settlement of the outstanding loan balances.

There were no loans to Executive KMP other than for the LTEIP plan and over the past fi ve years, the LTEIP has provided a loan forgiveness benefi t in only 
one instance (2008 offer) and has provided modest capital appreciation to LTEIP participants in three of the past fi ve years. This aligns vesting outcome 
to Executives with performance outcomes for shareholders over that period. Further information on LTEIP can be found in note 19 to the Annual Report. 

The following table shows the current balances of the non-recourse loans for the Executive KMP:

The FY2013 award under LTIRP (a legacy award held by some Executives) was also tested this year. The EPS performance condition for LTIRP vesting was 
not met and all of the awards lapsed.

Section 5: Remuneration tables and data

This section outlines Executive Key Management Personnel remuneration (in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards). 

5.1  Executive KMP remuneration 

Details of the nature and amount of each element of remuneration of Executive KMP are set out in the table below: 

Remuneration outcomes presented in these tables are based on the requirements of accounting standards rather than the basis of take-home pay. 
Examples of what this means from a presentation of total package perspective are as follows: 

 (cid:131) Part of STI awards are paid in deferred shares. These are recognised as an expense typically over two years, including the year of award. This year’s 

outcome includes expenses relating to this year’s and last year’s restricted shares. 

 (cid:131) LTI awards are recognised over a performance period of three years, the value detailed relates to their assessed value when originally granted to the 

Executive. Note the assessed value at grant can be signifi cantly different to the value realised upon vesting if the share price moves materially. 

 (cid:131) In some circumstances (LTEIP, LTIRP and LTIP plans) amounts that have previously been recorded as remuneration are reversed due to non-vesting 

of shares or rights where non market based performance hurdles are not met.

(1)  Cash STI Payment includes payments relating to 2016 performance accrued but not paid until FY2017.
(2)  These benefi ts include relocation costs, car parking, medical and insurance costs, movement in annual leave accrual, sign on payments, spousal travel and costs associated 
with services related to employment (inclusive of any applicable fringe benefi ts tax). For overseas based Executives other benefi ts include up to 100% of relocation and 
travel allowances, reimbursement of accommodation, health insurance, family travel and education expenses.

(3)  This benefi t includes the movement in long service leave accrual.
(4)  Refer to Section 3.5. This includes the value calculated under AASB 2 Share Based Payments to Executives which vest over three years. Value only accrues to the Executive 
when performance conditions have been met. The Share Based Payments expense represents the amount required under Accounting Standards to be expensed during the 
year in respect of current and past long term incentive allocations to Executives. These amounts are therefore not amounts actually received by Executives during the year 
nor may they be payable to the Executive at any other time if performance hurdles are not met. The mechanism which determines whether or not long term incentives vest in 
the future is described in Section 3.5. 

(5)  In FY2015 within the base pay for A Calderon is included $106,400 of Director and Committee fees from when he was a Non-Executive Director. In the period 23 March 2015 
to 19 May 2015, while serving as Interim CEO, A Calderon received a fee of $185,000 per calendar month together with statutory entitlements to superannuation, in return 
for providing a service outside the ordinary scope of acting as a Director of Orica. A Calderon stepped down from the Audit & Risk and Safety Health and Environment 
Board Committees and received no other Board or Committee fees during this period. A Calderon was not entitled to any short- or long-term incentive payments related 
to his interim appointment.

(6)  For overseas based Executives, salary reported is based on the salary fi gure in overseas currency converted at the average foreign exchange rate for the year.
(7)  On joining Orica A J Melbourne received a sign on payment of $150,000 and a grant of rights over 53,273 shares to compensate him for awards foregone from his 
previous employer. The rights granted vest in three equal tranches in November 2016, 2017 and 2018 subject to A J Melbourne’s continued employment with Orica. 
(8)  A J P Larke’s contractual arrangements in relation to the sale of Orica’s Chemicals business provided for total incentive payments of $3,300,000 in lieu of any participation 

in STI or LTIP in fi nancial year 2015.

(9)  Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, STI paid to Executives as deferred equity is accounted for as a share based payment and expensed over two years. Accordingly, 50% 

of the value of the deferred equity has been included in the Executives share based payments expense in 2016 and the remainder will be included in 2017.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

Section 6: Remuneration Policy, Structure and Outcomes

This section outlines Non-Executive Director’s remuneration. 

6.1  Overview of Non-Executive director’s remuneration and arrangements 

Fees for Non-Executive Directors (Directors) are set by reference to a number of relevant considerations: 

 (cid:131) The individual’s responsibilities and time commitment attaching to the role of Director and Committee membership;

 (cid:131) The Company’s existing remuneration policies and survey data sourced from external specialists; and 

 (cid:131) Fees paid by comparable companies and the level of remuneration required to attract and retain directors of the appropriate calibre. 

Directors do not receive any form of performance based pay to preserve their independence. 

The current aggregate fee pool for Directors of $2,500,000 was approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2010 Annual General Meeting. The Company 
pays both superannuation and committee fees to the Directors out of the maximum aggregate fee pool. Note; committee fees are not paid to the Chairman 
of the Board.

Other remuneration information 

Section 7: Remuneration governance and other remuneration arrangements

Effective governance is central to Orica’s remuneration strategy and approach. This section outlines the key elements of Orica’s remuneration 
governance, Executive KMP service agreements, treatment of departing Executives and proposed changes to the executive remuneration 
framework in FY2017.

7.1  Responsibility for setting remuneration 

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the Committee) is delegated responsibility by the Board for reviewing and making 
recommendations on remuneration policies for the Company, including in particular, the policies governing the remuneration of Executives.

Activities of the Committee are governed by its Terms of Reference, which are available on the Company’s website at www.orica.com. Amongst other 
responsibilities, the Committee assists the Board in its oversight of:

a) 

remuneration policy for Senior Executives;

b) 

level and structure of remuneration for Senior Executives, including short-term and long-term incentive plans;

c) 

the company’s compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in respect of remuneration matters; and

d)  approval of the allocation of shares and awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan and General Employee Exempt Share Plan.

7.2  Use of remuneration advisors during the year 

No remuneration recommendations were received from Remuneration Consultants as defi ned under the Corporations Act 2001.

7.3  Executive and director share ownership 

The Board considers it an important foundation of the Orica Executive framework that Executives and directors hold a signifi cant number of Orica shares 
to encourage Executives to behave like long term investment owners. 

(a)  Executives 

An Executive Minimum Shareholding Guideline was introduced from 1 January 2015 which requires Executives to build their shareholding so that they 
have a signifi cant exposure to Orica’s share price performance. Executives must accumulate a minimum vested shareholding in Orica equivalent to 50% 
fi xed remuneration (and 100% fi xed remuneration for the MD & CEO) over six years from the end of calendar year 2016 for existing Executives or from 
commencement of employment for new appointments. 

(b)  Non-Executive Directors 

To create alignment between Directors and shareholders, Directors are required to hold (or have a benefi t in) shares in the Company equivalent in value 
to at least one year’s base fees. Such holdings must be acquired over a reasonable time using personal funds and includes shares held in superannuation 
accounts or other entities controlled by the Director.

Section 7: Remuneration governance and other remuneration arrangements (continued)

7.4  Share trading policy and Malus 

Malus

A Malus Standard was introduced in FY2015 which allows the Board to require any Executive to forfeit in full or in part any unvested LTIP or deferred 
STI award as a result of:

a)  a material misstatement in fi nancial results;

b)  behaviour that brings Orica into disrepute or has the potential to do so;

c) 

serious misconduct; or

d)  any other circumstance, which the Board has determined in good faith. 

In considering whether any adjustment is necessary in respect of any or all participants, the Board may take into account the individual’s level of responsibility, 
accountability or infl uence over the action or inaction, the quantum of the actual loss or damage, any impact on Orica’s fi nancial soundness, the extent 
to which any internal policies, external regulations and/or risk management requirements were breached and any other relevant matters.

Securities dealing

All KMP are required to comply with Orica’s Securities’ Dealing Policy at all times and in respect of all Orica shares held, including, for Executive KMP, 
shares held under LTEIP or any other defi ned employee share plan. Trading is subject to pre-clearance and is not permitted during designated blackout 
periods unless there are exceptional circumstances. In addition, Executive KMP are prohibited from using any Orica shares as collateral in any margin 
loan or derivative arrangement. 

7.5  Service agreements 

Remuneration and other terms of employment for Executive KMP are formalised in service agreements. The terms and conditions of employment of each 
Executive refl ect market conditions at the time of their contract negotiation on appointment or subsequently. The material terms of the employment 
contracts for the current Executives are summarised in the table below and subject to applicable law.

Contractual Term

the service agreement, the MD & CEO will be entitled to receive a termination payment of 
6 months’ salary in addition to the notice period. Should the MD & CEO’s service agreement 
be terminated by mutual agreement, 6 month’s salary is payable (in which case no notice 
is required to be given).

13 weeks (26 weeks for the CFO). Should the Company wish to terminate any of the other 
Executive KMP for convenience, the Company must provide the Executive a payment equal 
to one times their average fi xed annual remuneration over the preceding three years.

Each of the Executive KMP has also agreed to restraints and non-solicitation undertakings 
as part of their service agreements, which will apply upon cessation of their employment 
to protect the legitimate business interests of Orica.

Section 7: Remuneration governance and other remuneration arrangements (continued)

7.6  Arrangements for departing Executives

Former Group Executive, Strategic Marketing and Technology 

The former Group Executive, Strategic Marketing and Technology, N R Bowen ceased employment with Orica on 18 December 2015. In addition to his 
statutory entitlements to accrued leave, under the terms of his severance agreement, he was entitled to a severance payment of $950,000 upon cessation 
of his employment equivalent to one times his average fi xed remuneration over the past 3 years. 

N R Bowen was not eligible for a payment under the FY2016 STI plan. In accordance with the cessation provisions in the STI deferred share plan, LTEIP 
and LTIP rules applying to mutually agreed separation, the Board determined that unvested deferred shares, LTEIP and LTIP entitlements remain on foot. 
The LTIP award retained has been pro-rated on the basis of time employed during the performance period. 

7.7  Proposed changes for fi nancial year ended 30 September 2017 

As outlined in Section 1, changes to Orica’s existing incentive arrangements have been made for FY2017 so that the Return on Capital (ROC) vesting 
schedule in the LTI plan improves alignment between management and shareholder outcomes. The vesting schedule for the FY2017 grant is as follows:

Average ROC (3 year)

Less than 18.25%

18.25%

Between 18.25% and 19.25%

19.25%

Between 19.25% and 22%

22%

% rights subject to ROC vesting

0%

30%

Straight line vesting between 30% to 60%

60%

Straight line vesting between 60% to 100%

100%

This change would apply to the FY2017 grant only and, as illustrated in the diagram below, is proposed to remove the potential for the plan to reward 
underperformance (by increasing the threshold at which vesting occurs) and provide a genuine opportunity for outperformance to be rewarded by reducing 
the maximum to a level considered to represent genuine stretch in the current market conditions.

The previous 15%–30% target range was established in 2014 based on Orica’s historic ROC performance and forecasted future performance based 
on market conditions at that time. Both the threshold and maximum targets have been adjusted in line with revised forecasted performance based on 
current market conditions. The Board considers that the 22% maximum continues to represent a challenging target for Executives requiring stretch levels 
of EBITDA growth over the performance period.

 About this report

This is the Annual Report of Orica Limited (‘the Company’ or ‘Orica’) 
and of its controlled entities (collectively ‘the Group’) for the year 
ended 30 September 2016. 

It is a general purpose fi nancial report which has been prepared by 
a for-profi t entity in accordance with the requirements of applicable 
Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

It has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for 
derivative fi nancial instruments, superannuation commitments 
and investments in fi nancial assets which have been measured

Orica’s Directors have included information in this report that they 
deem to be material and relevant to the understanding of the fi nancial 
statements. Disclosure may be considered material and relevant if the 
dollar amount is signifi cant due to size or nature, or the information 
is important to understand the:

 (cid:131) impact of signifi cant changes in Orica’s business; or 

 (cid:131) aspects of the Group’s operations that is important to future 

performance. 

Disclosure of information that is not material may undermine the 
usefulness of the fi nancial report by obscuring important information.

to a fi nancing arrangement of its US Group. On 7 December 2015, the Federal Court handed down a decision in favour of the Australian Taxation Offi ce. Accordingly, an 
expense of $41 million has been recognised in the current period which consists of tax, penalties, interest and costs.

Recognition and measurement

Sales revenue

External sales are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. External sales 
are recognised when the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the purchaser, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated 
costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue 
can be measured reliably.

Other income

Profi ts and losses from sale of businesses, controlled entities and other non-current assets are recognised when there is a signed contract of sale. 
Dividends are recognised in the Income Statement when declared.

Other income includes royalties, profi t on sale of property, plant and equipment, profi t from the sale of businesses and controlled entities and foreign 
currency gains/(losses).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SECTION B. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER

Orica Annual Report 2016 

|  67

Section B. Capital management 

Orica’s objectives when managing capital (net debt and total equity) are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to 
ensure that the capital structure enhances, protects and balances fi nancial fl exibility against minimising the cost of capital. This section outlines the 
principal capital management initiatives that have been undertaken. This section highlights current year drivers of the Group’s cash fl ows, as well as 
the key operating assets used and liabilities incurred to support fi nancial performance.

3.  Net debt

In order to maintain an appropriate capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, utilise a dividend reinvestment 
plan, return capital to shareholders such as a share buy-back or issue new equity, in addition to incurring an appropriate level of borrowings. Currently, Orica 
maintains a dividend payout ratio policy and expects the total payout ratio to be in the range of 40 to 70 percent of underlying earnings. It is also expected 
that the total dividend paid each year will be weighted towards the fi nal dividend.

Orica monitors debt capacity against a number of key credit metrics, principally including the gearing ratio (debt divided by debt plus equity) and the interest 
cover ratio (EBIT excluding individually material items, divided by net fi nancing costs adjusted for capitalised borrowing costs). These ratios together with 
performance measure criteria determined by Standard & Poor’s are targeted in support of the maintenance of an investment grade credit rating, which 
facilitates access to borrowings from a range of sources.

The Group’s current target level for gearing is 35% to 45% and for interest cover is 5 times or greater. Ratios may move outside of these target ranges 
for relatively short periods of time after major acquisitions or other signifi cant transactions.

In addition, the gearing and interest cover ratios are monitored to ensure an adequate buffer against a covenant levels under various fi nancing facilities.

The gearing ratio is calculated as follows:

Interest bearing liabilities (refer to note 3a)

less cash and cash equivalents (refer to note 3b)

Recognition and Measurement

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash at bank, cash on hand and deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and which are used in the cash management 
function and are disclosed for the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows net of bank overdrafts. The directors consider the net carrying amount of cash 
and cash equivalents to approximate their fair value due to their short term to maturity. Cash fl ows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross 
basis. The GST components of cash fl ows arising from investing and fi nancing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant taxation 
authorities are classifi ed as operating cash fl ows.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities 
are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the 
liabilities on an effective interest basis, unless they are liabilities designated in a fair value relationship in which case they continue to be measured at fair 
value (refer to note 10a).

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on issuance. Gains and losses are recognised in the Income 
Statement in the event that the liabilities are derecognised.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest, unwinding of the effect of discounting on provisions, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings and 
amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings, including lease fi nance charges. Borrowing costs are expensed 
as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Where funds are borrowed specifi cally for the production of a qualifying asset, the interest on those 
funds is capitalised, net of any interest earned on those borrowings. Where funds are borrowed generally, borrowing costs are capitalised using a weighted 
average interest rate.

incurred to support delivering fi nancial performance.

5.  Working Capital

(a)  Trade Working Capital (TWC)

Trade working capital includes receivables and payables that arise from normal trading conditions. The Group continuously looks to improve working 
capital effi ciency in order to maximise operating cash fl ow.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories have been shown net of provision for impairment of $33.9 million (2015 
$26.7 million). Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses. 
Cost is based on the fi rst-in, fi rst-out or weighted average method based on the type of inventory. For manufactured goods, cost includes direct material 
and fi xed overheads based on normal operating capacity. For purchased goods, cost is net cost into store.

Receivables that are not past due and not impaired are considered recoverable. Payment terms are generally 30 days from end of month of invoice date. 
A risk assessment process is used for all accounts, with a stop credit process in place for most long overdue accounts. 

The collectability of trade receivables is assessed continuously and at balance date specifi c allowances are made for any doubtful trade receivables based 
on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. The net carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair values.

(iii) Trade payables

Recognition and Measurement

Trade payables, including costs not yet billed, are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments as a result of the purchase 
of goods. Trade payables are normally settled within 60 days from invoice date or within the agreed payment terms with the supplier. Trade payables 
are non-interest bearing and include liabilities in respect of trade fi nancing within the normal operating cycle of the business. The carrying amount 
of trade payables approximates their fair values due to their short term nature.

5.  Working Capital (continued)

(b)  Non-Trade Working Capital (NTWC)

Non–Trade Working Capital includes all other receivables and payables not related to purchase of goods. 

Included within other non-current assets in FY2015 were $18.6 million that was paid to the Australian Tax Offi ce (ATO) during the year ended 
30 September 2012 in relation to a tax audit, $7.3 million paid to the Central Tax Offi ce of Norway (CTO) and a deferred tax asset in relation 
to prior years’ Norwegian tax losses of $22.6 million. These matters have been settled in FY2016.

Recognition and Measurement

Other receivables are carried at amounts due. Payment terms vary. A risk assessment process is used for all accounts, with a stop credit and follow 
up process in place for most long overdue accounts. Interest may be charged where the terms of repayment exceed agreed terms.

The collectability of other receivables is assessed at balance date and specifi c allowances are made for any doubtful receivables based on a review of all 
outstanding amounts at year end. There are no individually signifi cant receivables that have had renegotiated terms that would otherwise, without that 
renegotiation, have been past due or impaired.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

In the course of normal trading activities, management uses its judgement in establishing the carrying value of various elements of working capital 
– principally inventory and accounts receivable. Provisions are established for obsolete or slow moving inventories and bad or doubtful receivables. 
Actual expenses in future periods may be different from the provisions established and any such differences would impact future earnings of the Group.

6.  Provisions (continued)

Recognition and Measurement

A provision is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that a future sacrifi ce of economic benefi ts 
will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the liability can be assessed. If the effect is material, a provision is determined by discounting 
the expected future cash fl ows (adjusted for expected future risks) required to settle the obligation at a rate that refl ects current market assessments of the 
time value of money and the risks specifi c to the liability. The unwinding of the effect of discounting on provisions is recognised as a borrowing cost. 

Employee entitlements 

Provisions are made for liabilities to employees for annual leave, sick leave and other employee entitlements that represent the amount for which the Group 
has a present obligation. These have been calculated at nominal amounts based on the wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at each 
reporting date and include related on-costs. Liabilities for employee entitlements which are not expected to be settled within twelve months of balance date, 
are accrued at the present value of future amounts expected to be paid. The present value is determined using interest rates applicable to high quality 
Corporate and Government bonds with maturities approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. 

A liability is recognised for bonus plans on the achievement of predetermined bonus targets and the benefi t calculations are formally documented and 
determined before signing the fi nancial report. 

Environmental 

Estimated costs for the remediation of soil, groundwater and untreated waste that have arisen as a result of past events are provided for where a legal 
or constructive obligation exists and a reliable estimate of the liability can be assessed.

Where the cost relates to land held for resale then, to the extent that the expected realisation exceeds both the book value of the land and the estimated 
cost of remediation, the cost is capitalised as part of the holding value of that land, otherwise it is expensed.

Decommissioning

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 dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located are recognised as an asset within property, plant 
and equipment which is depreciated on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life and a corresponding provision is raised where a legal or constructive 
obligation exists. At each reporting date, the liability is remeasured in line with changes in discount rates, timing and estimated cash fl ows. Any changes 
in the liability are added or deducted from the related asset, other than the unwinding of the discount which is recognised as borrowing costs in the 
Income Statement.

Contingent environmental liabilities

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from environmental liabilities connected with current or former sites. 
Where management are of the view that potential liabilities have a low probability of crystallising or it is not possible to quantify them 
reliably, they are disclosed as contingent liabilities.

In accordance with the current accounting policy, for sites where the requirements have been assessed and are capable of reliable measurement, 
estimated regulatory and remediation costs have been capitalised, expensed as incurred or provided for. For environmental matters where there 
are signifi cant uncertainties with respect to the extent of Orica’s remediation obligations or the remediation techniques that might be approved, 
no reliable estimate can presently be made of regulatory and remediation costs and any costs are expensed as incurred.

There can be no assurance that new information or regulatory requirements with respect to known sites or the identifi cation of new remedial 
obligations at other sites will not require additional future provisions for environmental remediation and such provisions could be material.

Orica has entered into arrangements with the relevant regulatory authorities for a number of sites to investigate land and groundwater contamination 
and, where appropriate, undertake voluntary remediation activities on these sites. Where reliable estimates are possible and remediation techniques 
have been identifi ed for these sites, provisions have been established in accordance with current accounting policy. 

Orica is investigating suitable remediation options for Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) source areas at Botany giving rise to the groundwater 
contamination which is being treated by the Groundwater Treatment Plant. No provision has been established for remediation activities in respect 
of DNAPL as a reliable estimate is not possible at this time given the lack of known remediation techniques.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SECTION C. OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER

6.  Provisions (continued)

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

The business of the Group is subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates or maintains properties. Provisions 
for costs that may be incurred in complying with such laws and regulations are raised if environmental inquiries or remediation measures are probable 
and the costs can be reliably estimated. For sites where there are uncertainties with respect to what Orica’s remediation obligations might be or 
what remediation techniques might be approved and no reliable estimate can presently be made of regulatory and remediation costs, no amounts 
have been provided. It is also assumed that the methods planned for environmental remediation will be able to treat the issues within the expected 
time frame.

It is diffi cult to estimate the future costs of environmental remediation because of many uncertainties, particularly with regard to the status of laws, 
regulations and the information available about conditions in various countries and at individual sites. Signifi cant factors in estimating the costs include 
the work of external consultants and/or internal experts, previous experiences in similar cases, expert opinions regarding environmental programs, 
current costs and new developments affecting costs, management’s interpretation of current environmental laws and regulations, the number and 
fi nancial position of third parties that may become obligated to participate in any remediation activities on the basis of joint liability and the remediation 
methods which are likely to be deployed.

Changes in the assumptions underlying these estimated costs may impact future reported results. Subject to these factors, but taking into consideration 
experience gained to date regarding environmental matters of a similar nature, Orica believes the provisions to be appropriate based upon currently 
available information. However, given the inherent diffi culties in estimating liabilities in this area, it cannot be guaranteed that additional costs will 
not be incurred beyond the amounts provided. It is possible that fi nal resolution of these matters may require expenditures to be made in excess of 
established provisions over an extended period of time that may result in changes in amount or timing of anticipated cash fl ows from those assumed 
and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated.

In respect of the Botany groundwater (New South Wales, Australia) contamination, Orica is continuing to conduct extensive remediation activities 
of contaminated water, including the operation of a Groundwater Treatment Plant, to treat the groundwater at Botany, which is contaminated with 
pollutants from historical operations. A provision exists to cover the estimated costs including plant management fees associated with remediation 
until 2021. Costs are expected to be incurred after this date, but it is not possible to predict the time frame over which remediation will be required 
or the form the remediation will take and therefore it is not possible to reliably estimate any associated costs. In light of ongoing discussions with 
regulatory authorities and following an assessment of currently available technologies to treat the contamination, Orica intends to maintain a provision 
at current levels that takes into account the estimated costs associated with remediation commitments over the fi ve year period. The provision will 
continue to be re-evaluated based on future regulatory assessments and advancements in appropriate technologies.

In respect of the Botany hexachlorobenzene (HCB) waste currently safely stored in containers at the Botany site in Sydney (Australia), Orica are exploring 
the option for this waste to be exported for safe and permanent destruction. The calculation of the provision continues to be for the safe storage 
of the HCB waste whilst this option is being explored.

The total environmental and decommissioning provision comprises:

Botany Groundwater remediation

Botany (HCB) storage

Burrup Plant

Deer Park remediation

Yarraville remediation

Other provisions

Signifi cant increases in provisions during the year include an increase to the Deer Park provision of $15 million.

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable 
to the acquisition of the item and includes capitalised interest (refer note 3). Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised 
as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefi ts associated with the item will fl ow to the Group and the cost 
of the item can be measured reliably. 

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

Management reviews the appropriateness of useful lives of assets at least annually and any changes to useful lives may affect prospective depreciation 
rates and asset carrying values.

Depreciation is recorded on a straight line basis using the following useful lives:

Land 

indefi nite

Buildings and improvements 

25 to 40 years

Machinery, plant and equipment  3 to 40 years

Identifi able intangible assets with a fi nite life (customer contracts and relationships, patents, software, capitalised development costs, trademarks and rights) 
are amortised on a straight-line basis over their expected useful life to the Group, being up to thirty years. Identifi able intangible assets with an indefi nite 
life are not amortised but the recoverable amount of these assets is tested for impairment at least annually.

Unidentifi able intangibles – Goodwill

Where the fair value of the consideration paid for a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities 
acquired, the difference is treated as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortised but the recoverable amount is tested for impairment at least annually.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefi ts embodied in the specifi c asset 
to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

Management reviews the appropriateness of useful lives of assets at least annually and any changes to useful lives may affect prospective amortisation 
rates and asset carrying values.

9.  Impairment testing of assets

Recognition and Measurement

Methodology

Formal impairment tests are carried out annually for goodwill. In addition, formal impairment tests for all assets are performed when there is an indication 
of impairment. The Group conducts an internal review of asset values at each reporting period, which is used as a source of information to assess for any 
indications of impairment. External factors, such as changes in expected future prices, costs and other market factors, are also monitored to assess for 
indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. 

If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and an impairment loss is charged to the income statement so 
as to reduce the carrying amount in the balance sheet to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined using the higher of value in use 
or fair value less costs to dispose. Value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset 
in its present form and its eventual disposal. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specifi c to the Group’s continued use and does not take 
into account future development. The value in use calculations use cash fl ow projections which do not exceed 5 years based on actual operating results 
and the operating budgets approved by the Board of Directors. Fair value less costs to dispose is the value that would be received in exchange for an asset 
in an orderly transaction.

In testing for indications of impairment and performing impairment calculations, assets are considered as collective groups and referred to as cash-generating 
units. Cash-generating units are the smallest identifi able group of assets, liabilities and associated goodwill that generate cash infl ows that are largely 
independent of the cash infl ows from other assets or groups of assets with each CGU being no larger than a segment. CGUs to which goodwill has been 
allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed refl ects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal 
reporting purposes. The test of goodwill and its impairment is undertaken at the segment level. 

The discount rates for each CGU were calculated using rates based on an external assessment of the Group’s pre-tax weighted average cost of capital 
in conjunction with risk specifi c factors to the countries in which the CGUs operate. Foreign currency cash fl ows are discounted using the functional 
currency of the CGUs and then translated to Australian Dollars using the closing exchange rate.

2015 impairment

In 2015, following a full review of its business and its operating model in the context of the ongoing challenging conditions facing the mining sector 
and the oversupplied ammonium nitrate market, Orica wrote down assets relating to the Minova business and ammonium nitrate (primarily the Bontang, 
Indonesia plant) and other assets. 

78

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SECTION C. OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER

9.  Impairment testing of assets (continued)

Sensitivity

The value in use calculations are sensitive to changes in discount rates, earnings and foreign exchange rates varying from the assumptions and forecast data 
used in the impairment testing. 

In particular, the carrying value of Minova is reliant on achieving signifi cant growth in short term cash fl ows. In addition to the existing ground support 
and ventilation products, a new strategy focussing on an expanded portfolio of products dedicated to general construction, civil and geotechnical 
applications has been introduced. The cash fl ow growth over the next fi ve years is driven by an increase in sales from the new and existing portfolio 
of products. The business is forecasting for EBIT to return to approximately fi fty percent of 2012 levels by the end of year fi ve in the cash fl ow model.

Sensitivity analysis was undertaken to examine the effect of changes in key variables for each CGU. Any variation in the key assumptions of the Minova 
business or the Bontang Indonesia manufacturing plant would result in a change in the assessed value in use. If the variation in assumptions had a negative 
impact on value in use, it could, in the absence of other factors require additional impairment to non-current assets. 

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

The determination of value in use requires the estimation and discounting of future cash fl ows. The estimation of the cash fl ows is based on information 
available at balance date which may differ from cash fl ows which eventuate. This includes, among other things, expected revenue from sales of 
products, the return on assets, future costs and discount rates. Subsequent changes to the CGU allocation or to the timing and quantum of cash 
fl ows may impact the carrying value of the respective assets.

In particular, signifi cant judgement is required for purposes of CGU defi nition to determine whether cash fl ows generated from an asset such 
as the group’s signifi cant ammonium nitrate manufacturing plants are capable of generating separately identifi able cash fl ows. This is because 
Orica’s mining services offering includes supply of initiating systems, technical services and solutions and supply of mining chemicals in addition 
to ammonium nitrate which are bundled into a customer service offering.

Section D. Managing Financial Risks

Orica’s Review of Operations and Financial Performance highlights funding and other treasury matters as material business risks that could adversely 
affect the achievement of future business performance. 

This section discusses the principal market and fi nancial risks the Group is exposed to and the risk management program, which seeks to mitigate 
these risks and reduce the volatility of Orica’s fi nancial performance.

10.  Financial risk management 

Financial risk factors

The Group’s overall risk management program seeks to mitigate risks and reduce the volatility of Orica’s fi nancial performance. Financial risk management 
is carried out centrally by the Group’s Treasury department under policies approved by the Board. 

The Group’s principal fi nancial risks are associated with 

 (cid:131) interest rate (note 10a)

 (cid:131) foreign exchange (note 10b)

 (cid:131) credit risk (note 10c) 

 (cid:131) liquidity (note 10d) and

 (cid:131) Commodity risk (note 10e)

(a)  Interest rate management

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a fi nancial instrument or cash fl ows associated with the instrument will fl uctuate due to changes 
in market interest rates. 

The Group is primarily exposed to interest rate risk on outstanding interest bearing liabilities. Non-derivative interest bearing assets are predominantly 
short-term liquid assets. Interest bearing liabilities issued at fi xed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk while borrowings issued at a variable 
rate give rise to cash fl ow interest rate risk. 

Interest rate risk on long-term interest bearing liabilities is managed by adjusting the ratio of fi xed interest debt to variable interest debt. This is managed 
within policies determined by the Orica Board of Directors via the use of interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps. Under the policy, up to 
90% of debt with a maturity of less than one year can be fi xed. This reduces on a sliding scale to year fi ve where a maximum 50% of debt with a maturity 
of between fi ve and ten years can be fi xed. Beyond this, a maximum 25% of the debt with a maturity of between ten and twenty years can be fi xed. 
The Group operated within this range during both the current year and the prior year and as at September, the fi xed rate borrowings after the impact 
of interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps were $940 million (2015 $1,024 million) and the borrowings designated in a fair value relationship were 
$558 million (2015 $892 million).

Interest rate sensitivity

Orica has exposure to interest rate movements in the underlying currencies it deals in. A 10% movement in interest rates without management intervention 
would have a $2.7m (2015 $3m) impact on profi t before tax and a $1.9m (2015 $2.2m) impact on shareholders’ equity. 

(b)  Foreign exchange risk management

i)  Foreign exchange risk – transactional

Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk that the value of a fi nancial commitment, recognised asset or liability or cash fl ow will fl uctuate due to changes 
in foreign currency rates.

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily due to signifi cant sales and/or purchases denominated, either directly or indirectly, in currencies 
other than the functional currencies of the Group’s subsidiaries. 

As at reporting date, cross currency interest rate swaps entered into to hedge debt principal had a fair value gain of $53.3 million (2015 $78.8 million gain).

Foreign currency transactions 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated 
in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to the functional currency of the entity at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date.

Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the Income Statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical 
cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in 
foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency of the entity at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair 
value was determined.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SECTION D. MANAGING FINANCIAL RISKS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER

10.  Financial risk management (continued)

In regard to foreign currency risk relating to sales and purchases, the Group hedges up to 100% of committed exposures. Anticipated exposures are 
hedged by applying a declining percentage of cover the further the time to the transaction date. Only exposures that can be forecast to a high probability 
are hedged. Transactions can be hedged for up to fi ve years. The derivative instruments used for hedging purchase and sale exposures are bought vanilla 
option contracts and forward exchange contracts. Forward exchange contracts may be used only under Board policy for committed exposures and anticipated 
exposures expected to occur within 12 months. Bought vanilla option contracts may be used for all exposures. These contracts are designated as cash fl ow 
hedges and are recognised at their fair value. 

Exchange rate sensitivity 

The table below shows the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk (Australian dollar equivalent) and the effect on profi t and equity had exchange 
rates been 10% higher or lower than the year end rate with all other variables held constant. The 10% higher sensitivity represents the Australian Dollar 
strengthening against the other currencies. 

The analysis takes into account all underlying exposures and related hedges but not the impact of any management actions that might take place if these 
events occurred. The net exposure includes both external and internal balances (eliminated on consolidation).

Orica Annual Report 2016

10.  Financial risk management (continued)

ii)  Foreign currency risk – translational

Foreign currency earnings translation risk arises primarily as a result of earnings generated by foreign operations with functional currencies of USD, NZD, 
NOK, SEK, CLP, COP, MXN and CAD being translated into AUD. Derivative contracts to hedge earnings exposures do not qualify for hedge accounting under 
Accounting Standards. However, Board approved policy allows hedging of this exposure in order to reduce the volatility of full year earnings resulting from 
changes in exchange rates. 

Financial statements of foreign operations 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated to Australian dollars 
at foreign exchange rates applying at the balance sheet date.

The revenues and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinfl ationary economies, are translated to Australian dollars at rates 
approximating the foreign exchange rates applying at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised 
directly in a separate component of equity.

Net investment in foreign operations

Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of related hedges are taken to the translation reserve. 
They are released into the Income Statement upon disposal.

Hedging of exposures is undertaken primarily through originating debt in the currency of the foreign operation or by raising debt in a different currency 
and effectively swapping the debt to the currency of the foreign operation. The remaining translation exposure is managed, where considered appropriate, 
through forward foreign exchange derivative instruments or cross currency swaps. Gains and losses resulting from these hedging activities are recorded 
in the foreign currency translation reserve within the equity section of the balance sheet and offset against the foreign exchange impact resulting from 
the translation of the net assets of foreign operations. Forty seven percent of the Group’s investment in foreign operations was hedged in this manner 
as at 30 September 2016 (2015 55.0%).

As at reporting date, derivative instruments designated as hedging net investment exposures had a fair value of $3.7 million liability 
(2015 $69.3 million liability).

(c)  Credit risk management

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to meet their obligations under a contract or arrangement. The Group 
is exposed to credit risk from trade and other receivables and fi nancial instrument contracts that are outstanding at year end. 

Orica minimises the credit risk associated with trade and other receivables 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.

Orica’s maximum exposure to trade and other receivables at 30 September 2016 is $716.6 million (2015 $1,014 million).

In regards to credit risk arising from derivatives and cash, this is the credit exposure to fi nancial institutions that are counterparties to derivative contracts 
and cash deposits, with a positive fair value from Orica’s perspective. 

As at 30 September 2016, the sum of all derivative contracts with a positive fair value was $90.4 million (2015 $112.5 million). The Group does not hold 
any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposures.  

(d)  Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that there will be insuffi cient funds available to make payment as and when required. 

The Group manages this risk via:

 (cid:131) maintaining an adequate level of undrawn committed facilities in various currencies that can be drawn upon at short notice;

 (cid:131) using instruments that are readily tradeable in the fi nancial markets;

 (cid:131) monitoring duration of long term debt;

 (cid:131) spreading, to the extent practicable, the maturity dates of long-term debt facilities; and

 (cid:131) comprehensively analysing all forecast infl ows and outfl ows that relate to fi nancial assets and liabilities.

10.  Financial risk management (continued)

(e)  Commodity risk management

Commodity Risk refers to the risk that Orica’s profi t/loss or equity will fl uctuate due to the changes in commodity prices. At reporting date Orica 
has derivative contracts which are exposed to fl uctuations in the price of Brent Crude Oil entered into to fi x the price of future gas supply contracts. 

The table below includes Orica’s derivative contracts that are exposed to changes in Brent Crude Oil at 30 September and the impact of a 10 per cent 
change in observable prices (holding all other things constant) on profi t/loss or equity based solely on Orica’s price exposures existing at the reporting 
date but does not take into account any mitigating actions that management might undertake if the price change occurred.

Valuation of fi nancial assets and liabilities (included within other on Balance sheet)

The carrying value of derivatives equals their fair values. All are defi ned as Level 2 under AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The inputs are observable 
for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). There has been no movement between levels since prior year.

Valuation techniques include, where applicable, reference to prices quoted in active markets, discounted cash fl ow analysis, fair value of recent arm’s length 
transactions involving the same instruments or other instruments that are substantially the same, and option pricing models. Changes in default probabilities 
are included in the valuation of derivatives through the use of credit and debit valuation adjustments.

The fair value of forward exchange contracts are calculated by reference to forward exchange market rates for contracts within similar maturity profi les 
at the time of valuation. 

The fair values of cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps and other fi nancial liabilities measured at fair value are determined using valuation 
techniques which utilise data from observable markets. Assumptions are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. The fair value is calculated 
as the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows using an appropriate market based yield curve, which is independently derived and representative 
of Orica’s cost of borrowings. 

Offsetting fi nancial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet where Orica currently has a legally enforceable right to offset 
the recognised amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Orica also entered into 
master netting arrangements that do not meet the criteria for offsetting but allow for the related amounts to be set-off in certain circumstances, such 
as the event of default.

10.  Financial risk management (continued)

Hedge accounting 

The Group uses fi nancial instruments to hedge its exposure to certain market risks arising from operational, fi nancing and investing activities. 

The Group holds fi nancial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting under one of the three arrangements:

Fair value hedges

Cash fl ow hedges

Net investment hedges

What the fi nancial 
instrument is 
designated to hedge?

To mitigate the risk of changes in 
the fair value of its foreign currency 
borrowings from foreign currency 
and interest rate fl uctuations. 

As a hedge of the variability in cash 
fl ows of a recognised asset or liability, or 
a highly probable forecasted transaction.

As a hedge of risk of changes in foreign 
currency when net assets of a foreign 
operation are translated from their 
functional currency to Australian dollars. 

Where are gains or 
losses on fair value 
movements of the 
fi nancial instrument 
recorded?

Discontinuation of 
hedge accounting

Recognised in the Income Statement, 
together with gains or losses in relation 
to the hedged item. 

The effective portion is recognised in 
other comprehensive income. The 
ineffective portion is recognised 
immediately in the Income Statement.

The cumulative gain or loss that has 
been recorded to the carrying value 
of the hedged item is amortised to 
the Income Statement using the 
effective interest method.

When a hedging instrument expires or 
is sold, terminated or exercised, or the 
entity revokes designation of the hedge 
relationship but the hedged forecast 
transaction is still expected to occur, 
the cumulative gain or loss at that 
point remains in equity. 

If the hedged transaction is no longer 
expected to take place, then the 
cumulative gain or loss is recognised 
immediately in the Income Statement.

The effective portion is recognised 
in the foreign currency translation 
reserve in equity. The ineffective 
portion is recognised immediately 
in the Income Statement.

The cumulative gain or loss is removed 
from equity and recognised in the 
Income Statement in the event that the 
respective foreign operation is disposed.

For a cash fl ow hedge arrangement that has a forecasted transaction that is being hedged, when the transaction occurs, the cumulative gain or loss is 
removed from equity and:

 (cid:131) included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the non-fi nancial asset or liability when the forecasted transaction subsequently results in the 

recognition of a non-fi nancial asset or non-fi nancial liability. 

 (cid:131) reclassifi ed into the Income Statement in the same period or periods during which the asset acquired or liability assumed affects the Income Statement, 

where a hedge of a forecasted transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a fi nancial asset or a fi nancial liability.

 (cid:131) recognised in the Income Statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects the Income Statement, when 

the transaction is not covered by the above two statements

Derivatives not in a designated hedge arrangement

Financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting but remain economically effective, are accounted for as trading instruments. These instruments 
are classifi ed as current and are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the Income Statement. The Group policy is to not hold or 
issue fi nancial instruments for trading purposes.

Section E. Taxation 

This section outlines the taxes paid by Orica and the impact tax has on the Financial Statements.

Orica has operations in more than 50 countries, with customers in more than 100 countries. In 2016, Orica paid $187.4 million (2015 $213.8 million) 
globally in corporate taxes and payroll taxes. Orica collected and remitted $100.8 million (2015 $113.9 million) globally in GST/VAT. 

As Orica operates in a number of countries around the world, it is subject to local tax rules in each of those countries. Orica’s tax rate is sensitive 
to the geographic mix of profi ts earned in different countries with different tax rates, as tax will be due in the country where the profi ts are earned. 
Many of the jurisdictions Orica has operations in have headline tax rates lower than 30%.

Income tax on the profi t or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax and is recognised in the Income Statement.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date, and any 
adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years. 

Under AASB 112 Income Taxes, deferred tax balances are determined using the balance sheet method which calculates temporary differences based 
on the carrying amounts of an entity’s assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and their associated tax bases. Current and deferred taxes attributable 
to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised in equity.

The amount of deferred tax provided will be based on the expected manner of realisation of the asset or settlement of the liability, using tax rates 
enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.

A deferred tax asset will be recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi ts will be available against which the asset can be utilised. 
Deferred tax assets will be reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that the related tax benefi t will be realised. 

Tax consolidation

Orica Limited is the parent entity in the tax consolidated group comprising all wholly-owned Australian entities.

Due to the existence of a tax sharing agreement between the entities in the tax consolidated group, the parent entity recognises the tax effects of its 
own transactions and the current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from the 
subsidiary entities.

11.  Taxation (continued)

Contingent tax liabilities

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from tax investigations or legal proceedings. Where management are of the view 
that potential liabilities have a low probability of crystallising or it is not possible to quantify them reliably, they are not provided for and are disclosed 
as contingent liabilities. 

(i) Investigations and audits 

Consistent with other companies of the size and diversity of Orica, the Group is the subject of ongoing information requests, investigations and audit 
activities by Tax and Regulatory Authorities in jurisdictions in which Orica operates. Orica co-operates fully with the Tax and Regulatory Authorities. 
It is possible that Orica may incur fi nes and/or other penalties as a consequence of these investigations and audits.

(ii) German Tax Action

As a result of an income tax audit covering the 2005 to 2015 years, the German Central Tax Offi ce (“ the CTO”) has challenged Orica’s tax returns 
under laws which were announced in 2012 and introduced in 2013 in relation to a fi nancing arrangement by Orica of its German group from 2005 
onwards. The amount of the possible reassessment for the 2005 to 2015 years is approximately $90m. Assessments for the period 2005 to 2008 
have been received. Orica believes that the laws do not apply to these arrangements and in addition should not be applied retrospectively.

(iii) Brazilian Tax Action

The Brazilian Taxation authority is claiming unpaid taxes, interest and penalties of approximately $40 million for the 1997 fi nancial year relating to an 
alleged understatement of income based on an audit of production records. Orica believes the auditor has misread those production records. ICI Plc, 
the vendor of the business to Orica, has been notifi ed to preserve Orica’s rights under the tax indemnity obtained upon acquisition of the business 
which provides indemnity for amounts exceeding certain limits. The Brazilian Taxation authority has been granted security over the Lorena site as well 
as a bank guarantee of up to approximately $48 million.

(iv) Australian Tax Audit

As a result of an income tax audit covering the 2010 to 2011 years, the Australian Taxation Offi ce (“ the ATO”) has challenged Orica’s tax returns 
in relation to thin capitalisation valuations of land and buildings and intellectual property resulting in a denial of interest deductions. Assessments 
for 2010 and 2011 amounting to $17 million have been received from the ATO. Interest for this period is estimated at $5 million. The amount of 
the possible reassessment for the years beyond 2011 to 2015, including interest is approximately $49 million. Orica believes that the valuations are 
in accordance with the tax law and has lodged objections against the assessments.

As part of the income tax audit for 2010 and 2011, the ATO has indicated its intention to challenge the residence of a German subsidiary of Orica. 
The ATO considers that the subsidiary should be a resident of Australia. The amount of possible reassessment for the 2010 to 2011 years including 
interest is $37 million. The amount of possible reassessment for the years 2011 to 2015, including interest, is $31 million. Orica believes the subsidiary 
is a German resident and only German tax, not Australian tax is payable on the relevant income.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Signifi cant judgement is required in determining 
the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which 
the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. 
Where the fi nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and 
deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

In addition, deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable 
profi ts are available to utilise those temporary differences and losses, and the tax losses continue to be available having regard to the nature and 
timing of their origination and compliance with the relevant tax legislation associated with their recoupment.

Assumptions are also made about the application of income tax legislation. These assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty and there is 
a possibility that changes in circumstances or differences in opinions will alter outcomes which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets 
and deferred tax liabilities recorded on the Balance Sheet and the amount of tax losses and timing differences not yet recognised. In these 
circumstances, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities may change, resulting in an impact on the earnings of the Group.

Section F. Global footprint

Orica has a diverse spread of global operations, which includes controlled entities incorporated in over 50 countries, as well as entering strategic 
partnering arrangements with certain third parties. This section highlights the Group structure including Orica’s controlled entities, as well as those 
where Orica holds less than 100% interest. 

12.  Investments in controlled entities

Recognition and Measurement

The consolidated fi nancial statements are prepared by combining the fi nancial statements of all the entities that comprise the Group, being the Company 
(the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defi ned in Accounting Standard AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated fi nancial statements. On acquisition, the assets, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. 

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifi able net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If, after reassessment, the fair 
values of the identifi able net assets acquired exceed the cost of acquisition, the excess is credited to the Income Statement in the period of acquisition.

The non-controlling interest’s share of net assets is stated at their proportion of the fair values of the identifi able assets and liabilities and contingent 
liabilities recognised of each subsidiary.

The consolidated fi nancial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control until 
such time as the Company ceases to control such entity. In preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements, all intercompany balances, transactions and 
unrealised profi ts arising within the Group are eliminated in full.

Refer to note 25 for the list of investments in controlled entities.

The Group owns a 45% interest of Yara Pilbara Nitrates Pty Ltd, the remaining shares are held by subsidiaries in the Yara International ASA group. The entity 
will own and operate a 330,000 tonnes per annum industrial grade ammonium nitrate plant on the Burrup Peninsula (Western Australia, Australia).

Construction of the plant was completed in August 2016 and Orica expect the plant to be commissioned in fi nancial year 2017, with production progressively 
ramped up over the following 12–18 months to around 70% of the full capacity.

Yara Pilbara Nitrates will operate as a toll manufacturer, receiving a tolling fee from entities within the Group and the Yara group. The Orica and Yara group 
have rights to all of the economic benefi ts of the assets. The dependence of the manufacturing entity upon Orica and Yara for the generation of cash fl ows 
indicates that the parties have an obligation for the liabilities of the manufacturing arrangement and accordingly it is accounted for as a joint operation.

(a)(i)  Long Term Equity Incentive Plan (LTEIP)

The Orica Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (LTEIP) was the long-term incentive component of the remuneration arrangements for Executive KMP from 
2004 until Financial year 2015 when a performance rights plan was implemented. The LTEIP is an equity plan where shares are acquired up front through 
the provision of a non-recourse loan from the Company, provided for the sole purpose of acquiring shares in Orica. It operates much like a traditional 
option plan, as the outstanding loan balance is effectively the ‘exercise price’ that must be paid before any value can be realised. Maximum rewards under 
LTEIP arise where there is strong share price performance, strong earnings per share growth and strong relative total shareholder return performance.

(a)(ii)  Long Term Incentive Rights Plan (LTIRP)

In fi nancial year 2012 LTIRP was adopted (replaced by LTIP in 2015) as the long term incentive component of remuneration for senior executives (excluding 
the Executive Committee) selected by the Board based on the role of the individual in guiding the future success of the Company. Invitations to participate 
in LTIRP are made on the following basis:

 (cid:131) Senior executives were granted a number of rights, which vest upon the satisfaction of the relevant performance hurdle. The number of rights granted 
to each employee was based on a specifi ed percentage in the range of 15% to 60% of their fi xed remuneration, depending on the individual’s role 
and responsibility.

 (cid:131) Each right is an entitlement to be allocated one ordinary share in Orica (or such other number adjusted in accordance with the terms of the LTIRP rules).

 (cid:131) Rights are unlisted and do not carry any dividend or voting rights.

 (cid:131) Shares allocated upon vesting of rights may be either newly issued shares or existing shares acquired on market.

 (cid:131) LTIRP was offered to senior executives below the Executive Committee level. A single hurdle of Orica achieving 2% EPS compound growth per annum 

over three years was set for this scheme to represent the minimum level of acceptable performance before vesting can occur.

 (cid:131) Holders of rights that leave the Group prior to the end of the performance period will, in general, forfeit their rights. The Board has discretion to allow 

a number of rights to be tested and vest if the holder leaves due to death, disability or other Board approved reasons.

 (cid:131) The fair value of these long term incentives are expensed over the three year vesting period.

For a select group of senior managers who join Orica post allocation of a LTIRP or LTIP grant (and who generally having forgone at-risk remuneration from 
their previous employer) rights may be allocated at the discretion of the Orica Board. Allocations are made on the following basis:

 (cid:131) Employees are granted a number of rights, which vest upon the satisfaction of a time based hurdle, generally aligned to their anniversary of joining Orica.

 (cid:131) The number of rights granted to each employee is based on either a specifi ed percentage of their fi xed remuneration, or a straight dollar value. 
The value is determined on an individual basis, but generally aligned to either their future LTIRP/LTIP grant percentage or the foregone at-risk 
remuneration from their previous employer.

 (cid:131) Each right is an entitlement to be allocated one ordinary share in Orica.

 (cid:131) Rights are unlisted and do not carry any dividend or voting rights.

 (cid:131) Shares allocated upon vesting of rights may be either newly issued shares or existing shares acquired on market.

 (cid:131) Holders of rights that leave the Group prior to the end of the performance period will, in general, forfeit their rights. The Board has discretion to allow 

a number of rights to be tested and vest if the holder leaves due to death, disability or other Board approved reason.

(a)(iv)  Sign-on share allocations 

At the discretion of the Board, a grant of restricted shares was made to two senior managers on joining Orica to compensate them for having forgone 
at risk remuneration from their previous employer. The restricted share allocation was made on the following basis:

 (cid:131) The employees were granted a number of shares, which vest upon satisfaction of a time based hurdle aligned to the date at which awards from their 

previous employers would have been released.

 (cid:131) The number of shares was determined based on the value of at risk remuneration foregone from their previous employers.

 (cid:131) Each share carries access to dividend and voting rights during the restricted period.

 (cid:131) If the employees leave the Group prior to the end of restricted period they will, in general, forfeit their shares. The Board has discretion to allow the

20.  Superannuation commitments

Recognition and Measurement

Contributions to defi ned contribution superannuation funds are taken to the Income Statement in the year in which the expense is incurred. For each 
defi ned benefi t scheme, the cost of providing pensions is charged to the Income Statement so as to recognise current and past service costs, interest 
cost on defi ned benefi t obligations, and the effect of any curtailments or settlements. Actuarial gains and losses for post-retirement plans are recognised 
in other comprehensive income. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defi ned benefi t pension plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future 
benefi t that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefi t is discounted to determine its present value, 
and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the balance sheet date on high quality corporate bonds or in countries 
where there is no deep market in such bonds, the market yields on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s 
obligations. The calculation is performed annually by a qualifi ed actuary using the projected unit credit method.

(a)  Superannuation plans

The Group contributes to a number of superannuation plans that exist to provide benefi t for employees and their dependants on retirement, disability 
or death. The superannuation plans cover company sponsored plans, other qualifying plans and multi-employer industry/union plans.

Company sponsored plans

 (cid:131) The principal benefi ts are pensions or lump sum payments for members on resignation, retirement, disability or death. The benefi ts are provided 

on either a defi ned benefi t or defi ned contribution basis

 (cid:131) Employee contribution rates are either fi xed by the rules of the plans or selected by members from time to time from a specifi ed range of rates. 
The employer entities contribute the balance of the cost required to fund the defi ned benefi ts or, in the case of defi ned contribution plans, the 
amounts required by the rules of the plan.

 (cid:131) The contributions made by the employer entities to defi ned contribution plans are in accordance with the requirements of the governing rules 

of such plans or are required under law.

Government plans

 (cid:131) Some controlled entities participate in government plans on behalf of certain employees, which provide pension benefi ts. There exists a legally enforceable 

obligation on employer entities to contribute as required by legislation.

Industry plans

 (cid:131) Some controlled entities participate in industry plans on behalf of certain employees.

 (cid:131) These plans operate on an accumulation basis and provide lump sum benefi ts for members on resignation, retirement, disability or death.

 (cid:131) The employer entities have a legally enforceable obligation to contribute a regular amount for each employee member of these plans.

 (cid:131) The employer entities have no other legal liability to contribute to the plans.

(b)  Defi ned contribution pension plans

The Group contributes to several defi ned contribution pension plans on behalf of its employees. The amount recognised as an expense for the fi nancial year 
ended 30 September 2016 was $35.1 million (2015 $37.4 million).

(c)  Defi ned benefi t pension plans

The Group participates in several Australian and overseas defi ned benefi t post-employment plans that provide benefi ts to employees upon retirement. 
Plan funding is carried out in accordance with the requirements of trust deeds and the advice of actuaries. The information within these fi nancial statements 
has been prepared by the local plan external actuaries. Orica were assisted by Willis Towers Watson to consolidate those results globally. During the year, 
the Group made employer contributions of $28.2 million (2015 $29.3 million) to defi ned benefi t plans. The Group’s external actuaries have forecast total 
employer contributions and benefi t payments to defi ned benefi t plans of $40 million for 2017.

20.  Superannuation commitments (continued)

The principal assumptions applied in determining the present value of defi ned benefi t obligations and their bases were as follows – 

 (cid:131) Rates of increase in pensionable remuneration, pensions in payment and healthcare costs: historical experience and management‘s long-term 

future expectations;

 (cid:131) Discount rates: prevailing long-term high quality bond yields, chosen to match the currency and duration of the relevant obligation; and 

 (cid:131) Mortality rates: the local actuaries’ designated mortality rates for the individual plans concerned.

The weighted averages for those assumptions and related sensitivity information are presented below. Sensitivity information indicates by how much 
the defi ned benefi t obligations would increase or decrease if a given assumption were to increase or decrease with no change in other assumptions.

The expected age at death for persons aged 65 is 87 years for men and 90 years for women at 30 September 2016. A change of 1 year in the expected age 
of death would result in an $18 million movement in the defi ned benefi t obligation at 30 September 2016.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates 

The expected costs of providing post-retirement benefi ts under defi ned benefi t arrangements relating to employee service during the period 
are charged to the income statement. Actuarial gains and losses from post retirement plans, which can arise from differences between expected 
and actual outcomes or changes in actuarial assumptions, are recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. In all cases, the 
superannuation costs are assessed in accordance with the advice of independent qualifi ed actuaries but require the exercise of judgement in relation 
to assumptions for future salary and superannuation increases, long term price infl ation and bond rates. While management believes the assumptions 
used are appropriate, a change in the assumptions used may impact the earnings and equity of the Group.

22.  Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities relating to Environmental uncertainties are disclosed in note 6 and those relating to taxation in note 11. All others are disclosed below.

(a)  Guarantees, indemnities and warranties

 (cid:131) The Group has entered into various long term supply contracts. For some contracts, minimum charges are payable regardless of the level of operations, 

but the levels of operations are expected to remain above those that would trigger minimum payments.

 (cid:131) There are a number of legal claims and exposures which arise from the ordinary course of business. There is signifi cant uncertainty as to whether a future 

liability will arise in respect of these items. The amount of liability, if any, which may arise cannot be reliably measured at this time.

 (cid:131) The Group has entered into various sales contracts where minimum savings are guaranteed to customers and such savings are expected to be achieved 

in the ordinary course of business. 

 (cid:131) There are guarantees relating to certain leases of property, plant and equipment and other agreements arising in the ordinary course of business.

 (cid:131) Contracts of sale covering companies and assets which were divested during the current and prior years include commercial warranties and indemnities 

to the purchasers.

(b)  Other

In 2013, the Polish Competition Authority brought down an adverse fi nding against 3 fi rms, including Minova Poland, in relation to the supply of ground 
support products to Polish coal mines during 2005 to 2010, fi ning Minova Poland $4.7million. Orica is appealing the adverse fi nding and fi ne.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from product-specifi c and general legal proceedings, from guarantees or from 
environmental liabilities connected with current or former sites. Where management are of the view that potential liabilities have a low probability 
of crystallising or it is not possible to quantify them reliably, they are not provided for and disclosed as contingent liabilities. 

Legal proceedings

The outcome of currently pending and future legal, judicial, regulatory, administrative and other proceedings of a litigious nature (“Proceedings”) 
cannot be predicted with certainty. Thus, an adverse decision in Proceedings could result in additional costs that are not covered, either wholly 
or partially, under insurance policies and that could signifi cantly impact the business and results of operations of the Group. Proceedings can raise 
diffi cult and complex legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances 
of each particular case, issues regarding the jurisdiction in which each Proceeding is brought and differences in applicable law. Upon resolution of 
any pending Proceedings, the Group may be forced to incur charges in excess of the presently established provisions and related insurance coverage. 
It is possible that the fi nancial position, results of operations or cash fl ows of the Group could be materially affected by an unfavourable outcome 
of those Proceedings. Proceedings are evaluated on a case-by-case basis considering the available information, including that from legal counsel, 
to assess potential outcomes. Where it is considered probable that a future obligation will result in an outfl ow of resources, a provision is recorded 
in the amount of the present value of the expected cash outfl ows if these are deemed to be reliably measurable.

Warranties and Indemnities

In the course of acquisitions and disposals of businesses and assets, Orica routinely negotiates warranties and indemnities across a range of commercial 
issues and risks, including environmental risks associated with real property. Management uses the information available and exercises judgement 
in the overall context of these transactions, in determining the scope and extent of these warranties and indemnities. In assessing Orica’s fi nancial 
position, management relies on warranties and indemnities received, and considers potential exposures on warranties and indemnities provided. 
It is possible that the fi nancial position, results of operations and cash fl ows of the Group could be materially affected if circumstances arise where 
warranties and indemnities received are not honoured, or for those provided, circumstances change adversely.

Tax and Dividend Payments

For Australian registered shareholders who have not quoted their Tax File Number (TFN) or Australian Business Number (ABN), the Company is obliged 
to deduct tax at the top marginal rate plus Medicare levy from unfranked and/or partially franked dividends. If you have not already quoted your TFN/ABN, 
you may do so by contacting the Share Registrar or by registering your TFN/ABN at their website at:

www.linkmarketservices.com.au

Dividend Payments

Your dividends will be paid in Australian dollars by cheque, mailed to the address recorded on the share register. Why not have us bank your dividend 
payments for you? How would you like to have immediate access to your dividend payment? Your dividend payments can be credited directly into any 
nominated bank, building society or credit union account in Australia.

Dividends paid by direct credit appear in your account as cleared funds, thus allowing you to access them on payment date. You may elect to receive 
your dividends by way of direct credit by completing an application form available by contacting the Share Registrar or enter the details at their website 
at www.linkmarketservices.com.au

Shareholders should be aware that any cheques that remain uncashed for more than twelve months from a dividend payment are required to be handed 
over to the State Revenue Offi ce Victoria under the Unclaimed Money Act. Shareholders are encouraged to cash cheques promptly or to have their dividends 
directly deposited into their bank accounts.
