WE ARE INNOVATIVE, INTEGRATED AND OPERATE INTERNATIONALLY. Through our innovation, we have developed new technologies. Our Earth Friendly Concrete® and composite products deliver bespoke solutions for our customers while reducing the impact on the environment. We are always seeking ways to differentiate our business, be more efficient, safer and environmentally responsible. Wagners' vertically integrated business model provides security of supply and increased margins for the businesses while enabling a broad service offering to customers. Our vertical integration sees separate specialist divisions connected to support and supply materials and services on a timely and cost efficient and competitive basis. Wagners has established itself as an international supplier of construction materials and services. Utilising our expertise and experience, our construction materials and services business has the ability to deliver major projects, globally. We also now have manufacturing facilities in the US for our US CFT operations, and the UK for our EFC® business. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND SERVICES (CMS) Wagners CMS segment supplies a range of construction materials and services to the construction, infrastructure and resources industries through the following businesses: ` Cement ` Concrete ` Flyash ` Aggregates ` Precast concrete ` Reinforcing steel ` Bulk haulage services ` Engineering solutions COMPOSITE FIBRE TECHNOLOGIES (CFT) CFT products, designed by Wagners, are durable construction materials that are used as substitutes for other building materials, for example, steel, aluminium and timber. It is lightweight, resistant to rust, corrosion and chemical attack as well as saving hardwood resources. Our CFT products are increasingly being specified in Australia and overseas, particularly the US, for boardwalks, bridges, walkways, marinas and as cross-arms and poles for electrical distribution networks. Wagners has CFT manufacturing facilities in Australia and the US. EARTH FRIENDLY CONCRETE® (EFC®) EFC®, developed by Wagners, is a class of zero cement concrete based on geopolymer technology. The geopolymer binder system is based on the chemical activation of industrial waste by-products flyash (from coal-fired power stations) and slag (from the production of steel). The use of EFC® significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to concrete produced with Ordinary Portland Cement. It also has superior performance and durability compared to conventional concrete. Wagners has EFC® manufacturing facilities in Australia and the UK. 2 | 3 CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW I would like to acknowledge all shareholders and stakeholders of Wagners Holding Company Limited for your support and persistence during 2023. The first half was extremely challenging, which resulted in a detailed strategic review of all business operations, which remains ongoing. We have however enjoyed a significantly improved second half. Our position with EFC® is to reduce the ongoing investment until such time as the market demand for the benefits our technology provides is taken up. As mentioned previously, we have an unwavering confidence and a real commitment to the technology and our strategy is to hold it until the market supports it. The construction materials industry has seen changes in both leadership and practices. These changes bode well for the long term sustainability of the sector. The industry in south east Queensland has a long pipeline ahead and it is imperative that we can adequately service the ongoing demand for our products and meet the need to build infrastructure for the future. Our Composite Fibre Technologies business has enjoyed success in bringing new products to market. We now have a good pipeline and order book for utility poles and will enhance our production capability through FY24. Our strategy with CFT is to grow the market for existing products and focus on manufacturing and production efficiencies. We have enjoyed success in growing revenue from each business unit and the work done in FY23 will give us a great platform for the next 12 months. Our construction materials business and project services division is expected to deliver strong results going forward. This said, some challenges are still evident in some of our businesses. There are ongoing difficulties in the labour market, an issue faced by almost every employer in the country. We are working hard to ensure that our training and development programs for our employees and staff are relevant and will ultimately enhance our capability and capacity. Another challenge we face is the acceptance of our zero cement Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®). We have invested significant time and resources into this technology over many years. We have absolute confidence in the technology, it is the only zero cement concrete that has been proven in large scale commercial applications in the world. It is a technology that has real potential to make a huge reduction in carbon output, reducing the CO2 footprint by over 80% compared to ordinary portland cement concrete. Our challenge however is that all the commentary on net zero and the need for carbon reduction by our Governments, Institutions and large Corporations is not being followed through. The community is missing the opportunity to make a real reduction to the carbon output if it is not prepared, or incentivised to adopt carbon reducing technologies, like our EFC®. In the USA we have now established the CFT facility for the production and fabrication of pedestrian infrastructure and we intend to grow this market. We have our first pultrusion machine commissioned and operating at our facility in Cresson Texas. Our aim for FY24 will be to capitalise on the existing investment and manufacture products for the market that will provide a more consistent revenue stream. The success of Wagners is driven by the commitment of our staff, and I would like to acknowledge all employees, executives and our Board, who positively contributed to our improved second half performance. Whilst we are still not totally satisfied with the business performance, our commitment to shareholders is that we will continue to drive efficiencies and practices that will enhance the value of Wagners. Yours sincerely Denis Wagner CHAIRMAN IN THE USA WE HAVE NOW ESTABLISHED THE CFT FACILITY FOR THE PRODUCTION AND FABRICATION OF PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND WE INTEND TO GROW THIS MARKET.

The first half was particularly difficult due to the tough market conditions, cost escalations and our inability to pass on the impacts of these costs, negatively impacting margins across the business. Pleasingly, there was improvement in our second half performance, leading to a better overall result for the full year. Improved volumes were achieved across a number of business areas, particularly in cement, steel and bulk haulage, driving the significant increase in revenue. Price rises were implemented in our cement and concrete business along with a disciplined pricing policy, delivering improved margins. We also implemented a number of cost control measures across the entire group, with the benefit of these measures starting to be realised in the last quarter of FY23. On a consolidated basis the group delivered a revenue result of $477million, a 41% increase compared to FY22. Our reported EBIT result of $17million and Net Profit After Fax of $3.1million was disappointingly, down on the prior period, however we remain optimistic, given the improvement experienced in the second half. Following delivery of our first half results, a thorough review of all business operations commenced. This strategic review has already delivered a number of outcomes and lead to a number of initiatives being implemented, some of which have already made a positive contribution, particularly around the disciplined pricing policies and cost reduction strategies. This strategic review will continue to ensure all businesses have appropriate operations and structures in place to deliver continued growth and positive results to all stakeholders. FY23 ACHIEVEMENTS CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND SERVICES Our construction materials and services businesses, consisting of cement, precast, concrete, quarries, steel and bulk haulage delivered a 41% increase in revenue compared to FY22, with a revenue result of $415million. The key highlights for the year were: ` ` Cement – the business delivered a 25% increase in volumes on the prior period. The first half result was impacted by increased input costs, however price increases in the second half have reduced the impact of these increases to the full year result. Concrete – after a long period of challenging market conditions impacting the business performance, the incremental improvement seen in pricing throughout the year, along with the maturity of our concrete plant network, has been positive. While strict pricing policies implemented in the business did have an impact on volumes, over a 20% increase in the average sale price compared to FY22 was achieved. ` Precast concrete – we commenced the production of precast concrete tunnel segments for the Sydney Metro tunnel project in the first half of FY23, with over 50% of the project now delivered. This project is a great example of the benefits our vertically integrated business provides, with value also being delivered to our cement, concrete, flyash, steel and transport businesses. Steel – the full commissioning of our Brisbane processing plant has contributed to the 25% increase in revenue. The efficiencies being delivered by our newly installed processing equipment has also resulted in improved margins. ` ` Bulk Haulage – two new long term projects were secured during the year, contributing to the 43% increase in revenue. We are now servicing nine key projects across Queensland and the Northern Territory. Driver shortages did impact the utilisation of our assets during the year. With a number of initiatives implemented on recruitment of drivers, we do expect margins to improve further. WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 FY23 KEY FACTS & FIGURES $477M GROUP REVENUE $17M EBIT $3.1M NET PROFIT AFTER TAX 7 COUNTRIES WORKED IN 988 EMPLOYEES 6 | 7 COMPOSITE FIBRE TECHNOLOGIES Composite Fibre Technologies achieved a 41% growth in sales in FY23, with a revenue result of $59million. This revenue result was driven by strong sales across existing product lines along with a new and increasing demand for our composite utility poles. The business did not achieve the expected EBIT result with legacy pricing on long lead projects and expenses associated with commissioning machines and finalising pole specifications, impacting margins. Similar to our concrete business, a disciplined approach is now being taken with respect to pricing, which resulted in improved margins in the last quarter and will lead to improved results moving forward. Our US facility became fully operational during the year, which was an exciting addition to Wagners' facilities. We have welcomed a number of additions to the Wagners team based at our US facility and we are extremely optimistic about the opportunities for this business now that we have the ability to manufacture and service US markets from a local operation. The long commissioning process of the US facility and the lagging sales cycle, has ultimately impacted the performance of our US CFT business however we expect our investment in business development activities will deliver improved results in FY24. EARTH FRIENDLY CONCRETE® Our UK Manufacturing facility became operational during the year and our EFC® technology continued to be utilised in projects throughout Australia, UK and Europe. While we continue to have confidence in our technology to deliver significant savings in carbon emissions in the built environment, we have not had the market uptake we had hoped. We have therefore reduced our investment into the business throughout the year and will continue to assess our ongoing investment, the long term structure for the business and future funding requirements for EFC®, which will be subject to the relevant market conditions. PEOPLE I am extremely proud of the entire Wagners team and the contributions they have made to our business throughout the period. FY23 has been challenging from a labour perspective. It has been difficult to recruit and retain great talent in the midst of a very competitive landscape while also providing rewarding career opportunities to all employees. However, we are proud of the culture that we have developed within our organisation, underpinned by our “Guiding Principles”. This has served us well during this period and we have an excellent team at Wagners, that ensure we can deliver on the promises we make, to our fellow employees, our customers, clients and also our boarder community and shareholders. Employee numbers increased throughout the year, and we currently have a team of 988 employees. We continued to expand our operations geographically, with employees now working across 7 countries. We achieved an improvement in gender diversity and despite the challenging labour market, reduced our employee initiated turnover across a number of business units, compared to prior periods. We completed our reporting under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 during the year. This reporting process assists us in identifying any gender equality issues that may exist and allows us to implement action plans around promoting gender equality across our business. We will continue to develop and implement initiatives that improve our culture and diversity in our business, provide a workplace of choice with long term and rewarding careers for all employees, however most importantly, a workplace that is committed to the safety of everyone. OUTLOOK Like FY22, FY23 also produced mixed results. However, we believe the discipline we have installed in our business operations, particularly some of the outcomes from our strategic review, along with our investment in our people, assets and research and development, will provide a positive platform to leverage a number of opportunities, which will deliver improved performance in FY24. WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES THAT IMPROVE OUR CULTURE AND DIVERSITY IN OUR BUSINESS, PROVIDE A WORKPLACE OF CHOICE WITH LONG TERM AND REWARDING CAREERS FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. Demand generally for construction materials and services in the South East Queensland sector remains strong. Similarly, demand for composite products, particularly utility poles, is expected to increase as asset owners and utility networks understand the performance benefits our product provides. More particularly: ` We see recent growth in concrete and cement volumes to continue and with improvement in market conditions, an uplift in business performance should follow. ` A strong forward order book is already in hand across a number of our businesses, which should see growth in the number of projects already contracted. ` A favourable resources environment and robust infrastructure pipeline in South East Queensland provides significant opportunity right across the group, particularly with our vertically integrated business model. ` An increasing demand for innovative products is anticipated as industry is looking for more sustainable and cost effective options. This demand will be driven by a requirement to reduce construction costs, increase energy efficiency and improve sustainability. We see both our composite products (CFT) and Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®) as providing effective and sustainable solutions. There is no doubt we have not delivered the results in past periods that our shareholders have expected. We do, however, take some confidence from the last half of FY23 and the efforts we have put into all of our business operations, management, business development and research and development, that this business will deliver improved performance. The outlook is positive, our strategy remains sound and our businesses remains well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities in our sector to deliver revenue growth and increased returns to our shareholders. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire Wagners’ team for the efforts throughout FY23 and look forward to working with all of you again in the future. Thanks also to the Board of Directors, who, as always, provide valued guidance and advice with a commitment to delivering on the overall group strategy and value to all stakeholders.

Non-IFRS measures Throughout this report, Wagners has included certain non-IFRS financial information, including Earnings before Interest, Depreciation & Amortisation (EBITDA), and IFRS measures such as net profit after tax. These non-IFRS measures may provide useful information to recipients for measuring the underlying operating performance of the Group. Financial year 2023 operating results Operating results for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 (FY23) are summarised in table 1 below with the following presentation adjustments to allow shareholders to assess the Group's performance: ` ` Separating the EFC® operating results from the Group’s Earnings before Interest & Tax (EBIT), providing users with the ability to assess Group operating performance outside of the significant investment being made in the EFC® business. All line items above Operating earnings before interest and tax (Operating EBIT) shown in table 1 below have EFC® impact removed, with the Operating revenue & Operating EBIT reconciling back to the Operating segment note. Separating the fair value changes on derivatives & impairment of trade receivable in the Group’s EBIT, as management consider this to be a more appropriate reflection to assess Group operating performance.

This is a non-IFRS, unaudited measure. Within the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, $15,107k is included within contract work and purchased services (2022: $7,244k), $76,599k is included within employee benefits (2022: $50,077k), $20,549k is included within transport and travel expenses ($12,893k) and $15,818k is included within other expenses (2021: $10,444k). FY23 showed strong growth in revenue across most business units. While sales have improved compared to FY22, margins have been impacted by both increased costs and a delay in timing to increase sales prices to recover the increased costs. There was improvement in the margins in the second half of FY23, although overall margins were lower than in FY22. Increased repairs and maintenance costs mainly due to higher spend on aging bulk transport fleet assets and the annual shutdown of our Cement plant grinding facilities. Other operating expenses have increased with the largest contributor being higher electricity consumption for the Sydney Metro Tunnel project at our precast facility, the remaining increase reflects the impact of higher cost inflation throughout the period. 10 | 11 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Operating and financial review (continued) Group financial results (continued) Operating results by segment SEGMENT ($’000) Construction, Materials and Services Composite Fibre Technologies EFC® — Carbon Reducing Technologies Other/Eliminations Total 30 JUN 2023 30 JUN 2022 CHANGE REVENUE 415,685 59,244 360 163 EBIT 36,350 (1,921) (4,010) (13,416) REVENUE 294,218 41,853 188 592 EBIT 31,858 1,947 (3,205) (9,635) REVENUE 121,467 17,391 172 (429) 475,452 17,003 336,851 20,965 138,601 EBIT 4,492 (3,868) (805) (3,781) (3,962) CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND SERVICES Construction Materials and Services achieved an overall revenue growth of 41% in FY23. Cement volumes increased 25% from both existing and new customers. Shipping and fuel costs were significantly higher in FY23. Due to contractual arrangements, not all incremental costs were able to be recovered from customers during the period. However, there was significant traction with price increases where possible. Concrete revenues increased due to the increase in selling price by over 20% in FY23, which was partially offset by a 5% reduction in volume due to the disciplined pricing approach adopted in FY23. Precast had a significant increase in revenue as a result of the Sydney Metro tunnel segment project which commenced during FY23. While there were delays with commencement of the project, impacting the first half’s result, the project was in full production for the second half of FY23. Steel revenue has grown by over 29%, with a 20% increase in volumes with a full year of operations from the processing plant servicing the Brisbane market. Transport revenue also had a significant increase on the prior year, with new projects commencing late in first half of FY23. Margins were impacted from the increased maintenance costs and start up costs of new contracts secured throughout the period. The under utilisation of assets due to industry wide driver shortages also impacted the results. The completion of a large, long term crushing project, together with a reduction in sales from our North-West Queensland quarry operation, due to flood recovery works not replicated in FY23, resulted in lower sales in the Contract Crushing and Quarries business compared to FY22. DIRECTORS’ REPORTWAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 Operating and financial review (continued) Group financial results (continued) Operating results by segment (continued) COMPOSITE FIBRE TECHNOLOGIES Composite Fibre Technologies revenues increased by 41% mostly from custom build and new products. However, the result was impacted by additional investment into Research and Development and business establishment costs in the USA. Margins were impacted due to material cost increases not passed on to customers with historical fixed price contracts. In Australia: ` Crossarm sales were consistent with FY22. ` FY23 saw the first sales of composite utility poles into the electrical distribution market in Australia and a number of contracts secured for the ongoing and future supply of poles into that market. ` Custom build sales improved in FY23, however, delivery of projects at appropriate margins has been challenging, due to historical fixed priced contracts. In the USA: ` ` The long commissioning process of the facility and the lagging sales cycles meant the business was unable to achieve the level of sales required from available capacity, resulting in an EBIT loss of $2.4 million. There was continued investment in business development activities throughout the period and the establishment of a focused sales and marketing campaign, which should deliver improved results in FY24. EFC® — CARBON REDUCING TECHNOLOGIES The EFC® loss reflects the increased spend in the first half of FY23 prior to the decision to reduce expenditure and focus on increasing the utilisation of the existing assets to prove the product and business at a reasonable commercial level. While the Board remains confident in the ability of the technology to deliver significant savings in carbon emissions in the built environment, the political and market landscape are yet to attribute or promote the value this technology provides the environment. This has directly resulted in a much longer delay than anticipated in the market uptake or demand for the product. For this reason, the operation of the business must reflect the current market demand for the product, which at this time, is limited, notwithstanding its environmental and performance benefits. Appropriate reductions in the ongoing operating costs therefore were made during the period. The Company will continue to assess its investment in EFC® and the long term structure and ongoing funding requirements for the business. OTHER Other mostly represents corporate related income and costs. The higher net costs in FY23 is due to change in the fair value adjustment on the derivative instruments, which have been impacted by the lower AUD/USD exchange rates. 12 | 13 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Operating and financial review (continued) Group financial results (continued) FINANCIAL POSITION Current assets Non-current assets Total assets Current liabilities Non-current liabilities Total liabilities 30 JUN 2023 $’000 152,386 298,285 450,671 110,658 216,034 326,692 30 JUN 2022 $’000 128,576 265,881 394,457 100,691 172,866 273,557 CHANGE $’000 23,810 32,404 56,214 9,967 43,168 53,135 Net assets/(liabilities) 123,979 120,900 3,079 Current assets increased in FY23 mostly due to an increase in trade receivables in line with the increased sales in FY23. This has been partially offset by a reduction in inventories as quantities increased in FY22 following supply chain disruptions. Non-current assets have increased due to the increase in the carrying value of Right of Use Assets that have increased due to the CPI increases applied to long term leases throughout FY23. Current Liabilities have increased due to: ` Higher trade creditors associated with general business. ` Increased Right of Use liabilities associated with the increased leases due to CPI increases in FY23. Non-current liabilities have increased due to: ` ` Increased borrowings to fund increase in working capital. Increased Right of Use liabilities due to increased CPI on existing leases. DIRECTORS’ REPORTWAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023       Operating and financial review (continued) Strategy and future prospects Wagners remains focused on delivering future growth through the following strategies: ` Growing and consolidating Wagners core vertically integrated Construction Materials and Services Business in Australia. The Company remains committed to this strategy through the expansion of its concrete plant and quarry networks in South East Queensland, subject to the prevailing market conditions. ` Growing Wagners CFT business through product development, a focussed marketing and sales strategy, and the expansion of ` manufacturing facilities domestically and internationally to support the market growth. Pursuit of major project opportunities, domestically and internationally, utilising the existing expertise and experience in our Constructions Materials and Services Business. In terms of the FY24 Outlook, improved market conditions experienced in the second half of FY23 are expected to continue. With respect to the individual business areas: Construction Materials and Services ` Cement: Strong cement volumes are expected to continue throughout FY24 through increased activity in the SEQ construction sector. Some of the increased clinker and shipping cost experienced in FY23 are expected to soften in FY24, coupled with a forecasted increase in volumes, should deliver improved results in FY24. ` Concrete plants: the Group will continue to improve the performance of its ready-mix concrete plant network to service the high level of activity in the SEQ construction market. Volumes are expected to increase from the existing plant network together with increased selling pricing flowing through from FY23. ` Precast: segment production will continue for the Sydney Metro project in this first half, with completion of the project expected in the second half. The business will pursue other opportunities to follow on from the Sydney Metro project, with a dedicated business development team working on this. ` Contract crushing and quarries: There is a strong pipeline of contract crushing opportunities identified. The business remains focused on securing a number of these opportunities to replace the long term, high margin, crushing project that was completed in FY23. With one large crushing project currently underway, the timing of the award of other projects is key to the business delivering improved performance in FY24. Given the significant capital upgrades at our Wellcamp and Castlereagh Quarries, improved margins are expected as the production capacity and efficiencies are realised. Transport: new contracts secured in the Group’s bulk haulage business along with investment in assets to service secured contracts will deliver increased revenue, productivity and resulting margins. ` Composite Fibre Technologies (CFT): ` In Australia, the focus for FY24 is: – Achieve improved margins from the crossarm product range with the full utilisation of our Crossarm Automation Line – Develop and service an increased market demand for composite utility poles – Continue with the disciplined approach to pricing in the custom build area, delivering improved profitability. ` In the US, increased sales are expected as a result of the current marketing and sales campaign underway. To date, the focus in the US has been on the custom build or pedestrian infrastructure. The planned additional production line will provide the business with significant opportunities to service new markets in addition to custom build, for example, the supply of utility poles into electricity networks in the US. Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®): ` The business has significantly reduced its operational and R&D costs associated with EFC® and will continue to assess the investment in EFC®, the long term structure and ongoing funding requirements for the business. 14 | 15 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Operating and financial review (continued) Material risks and risk management strategy There are a number of risks and uncertainties which could have an impact on the Group’s long-term performance and cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The Directors seek to identify material risks and put in place policies and procedures to mitigate any exposure. The following table provides details of the key risks and the approach being taken to manage them. RISK POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT MITIGATION Health and safety Failure to manage health and safety risks could cause harm to our employees or those around us and expose the Group to significant potential disruption, regulatory breaches, liabilities and reputational damage. Safety remains a top priority. We target an accident- free environment and have robust policies in place covering expected levels of performance, responsibilities, communications, controls, reporting, monitoring and review. We safeguard the health and safety of employees, contractors and others working on behalf of the Group, with experienced health and safety professionals who provide relevant training and help develop a strong culture alongside the management teams; all of which is overseen and audited by our Group HSEQ Manager and the support of consultants where necessary. We are constantly improving communication and reporting across the Group through simple and effective systems and processes, including our HSE Reporting and Monitoring software and monthly Group safety & environment meetings Cost inflation The Group is susceptible to significant increases in the price of raw materials, utilities, fuel oil and haulage costs and decreases in availability. The Group seeks to manage our costs by putting in place a strategic procurement plan to minimise key supplier risks and seek to offset rising commodity prices through tactical supplier pricing strategies and programmes. Risks exist around our ability to pass on increased costs through price increases to our customers and would have an adverse effect on margins if unable to do so. The Group aims to maintain a group of suppliers such that we avoid becoming dependent on any single supplier, although like some of our own markets, parts of our supply chain are highly consolidated and as such alternative suppliers may be scarce. Rigorous commercial management reviews of contracts for appropriateness given prevailing market conditions, including inflation pressures & supply shortages that may increase costs to execute. DIRECTORS’ REPORTWAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 Operating and financial review (continued) Strategy and future prospects (continued) RISK POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT MITIGATION Environment and Climate change There is a risk that environmental issues or the effects of climate change could expose the Group to regulatory breaches, significant disruption, reputational risk, or a reduction in demand for our products. Periods of extreme weather have the potential to adversely impact the Group’s performance through interruption to operations, disruption to the workforce with associated declines in productivity, increase in costs to execute and lower fixed cost recovery. Attracting, retaining and developing employees The Group recognise that its greatest asset is its workforce and a failure to attract, retain and develop talent will be detrimental to Group performance. The availability of labour, with risks around core skills, demographics, capability and changing working patterns has become a key differentiator in the market. This has led to high competition for talent with skill shortages in certain areas. Management, training, and control systems are in place to identify potential issues and prevent environmental incidents. The Group recognises the positive impact that several of our products have on the built environment across their lifespan and are eager for the durability, longevity and lower lifecycle carbon footprint of our products to be championed and better understood. Transitional risks include increasing regulatory burden or cost, the inability to adapt with new regulations, or customer preferences changing more rapidly than anticipated. The Groups ambition to reduce its impact upon the environment sits hand-in-hand with maximising the financial performance of the business; through increasing the sales of its environmentally friendly products and also investing in modernising our production facilities that will reduce energy consumption and waste. The Group understands where key person dependencies and skills gaps exist and continue to develop succession, talent acquisition, and retention plans. Employee support, strong communication and employee engagement remain focus areas and the Group continues to investigate further improvements to its HR and payroll systems. The Group is committed to provide a workplace that prioritises inclusion, supports the health and wellbeing of our people, and provides opportunities for their professional growth and development. 16 | 17 DIRECTORS’ REPORT ENVIRONMENT REGULATION The Group is subject to particular and significant environmental regulations.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The nature and scope of each type of non-audit service provided means that auditor independence was not compromised. This assessment has been confirmed to the Board by the Audit & Risk Committee. During the year, the following fees were paid or payable for non-audit services provided by the auditor of the parent entity, its related practices and non-related firms: Other assurance services Tax compliance, advisory and other services 2023 $ 2,725 – 2,725 2022 $ 4,500 8,515 13,515 ROUNDING The Company is a kind referred to in Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC) Legislative Instrument 2016/191, and in accordance with that instrument all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated.

The company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING DATE The directors of the Company are not aware of any other matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in the financial report that significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs in the period subsequent to the financial year ended 30 June 2023. 18 | 19 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Likely developments and expected results of operations Construction Materials and Services The Group is in a strong position to benefit from the large pipeline of infrastructure work in South East Queensland over the coming decade. This will provide significant benefit to the construction materials and services offered by the Group, and will also provide opportunities for the use of composite products (CFT) and potentially Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®). The establishment of permanent concrete plants in South East Queensland, with seven currently operational and two greenfield sites identified, delivers on the Group’s concrete strategy previously reported. This, together with the development of a greenfield quarry site acquired in South East Queensland strengthens the Group’s position as a supplier of construction materials in this market. Composite Fibre Technologies The international expansion of CFT into USA remains a focus. Subject to the anticipated increase in demand being realised, a duplicated production line is planned which will increase production capacity from the Groups first US CFT facility in Texas. This increased production capacity will also allow the Group to competitively tender for international contracts and service new markets, for example, the supply of utility poles into electricity networks. Following the commissioning of two new pultrusion machines and a crossarm automation line at the Group’s Queensland manufacturing facility, the business is now positioned to deliver increased margins from a rapidly growing revenue base. Earth Friendly Concrete® The Company will continue to assess its investment in EFC® and the long term structure and ongoing funding requirements for the business.

Employment contracts of key management personnel 7. Details of remuneration 8. Equity instruments held by key management personnel 9.

The table below outlines the KMP of Wagners and their movement during the financial year end 30 June 2023: NAME ROLE TERMS AS KMP NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS Denis Wagner John Wagner Lynda O’Grady Ross Walker SENIOR EXECUTIVES Cameron Coleman Fergus Hume Non-executive Chairman Non-executive Director Non-executive Director Non-executive Director ROLE Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’) Chief Financial Officer (‘CFO’) Full financial year Full financial year Full financial year Full financial year TERMS AS KMP Full financial year Full financial year REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE 2 Ultimately, the Board is responsible for the Group’s remuneration policies and practices. The role of the Remuneration Committee (the ‘Committee’) is to assist the Board to ensure that appropriate and effective remuneration packages and policies are implemented within the Company and Group in relation to the KMP and those reporting directly to the CEO. The Remuneration Committee’s functions include: ` ` ` ` Review and evaluation of market practices and trends on remuneration matters; Recommendations to the Board about the Group’s remuneration policies and procedures; Recommendations to the Board about remuneration of senior management; and Reviewing the Group’s reporting and disclosure practices in relation to the remuneration of senior executives. The Committee's Charter allows the Committee access to specialist external advice about remuneration structure and levels, which it intends to utilise periodically in support of its remuneration decision making process. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICY AND PRACTICES 3 The Group’s remuneration framework is designed to attract, retain, motivate and reward employees for performance that is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns remuneration with the achievement of strategic goals and the creation of value for shareholders. The key criteria supporting the Group’s remuneration framework are: ` Competitiveness and reasonableness; ` Acceptability to shareholders; ` ` Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation; and Transparency. Wagner’s Executive KMP remuneration consists of fixed remuneration, short-term incentives and long-term incentives plans. Executive KMP remuneration includes both fixed and variable components, with variable rewards consisting of short and long term incentives that are based on Group performance outcomes. (a) Fixed remuneration Fixed remuneration for employees reflects the complexity of the individual’s role and their experience, knowledge and performance. Internal and external benchmarking is regularly undertaken, and fixed remuneration levels are set with regards to comparable market remuneration. Fixed remuneration is comprised of base salary, salary sacrificed non-monetary benefits, annual & long service leave and employer superannuation contributions, in line with statutory obligations. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually, taking into consideration the performance of the individual, business unit, and the Group as a whole. 26 | 27 REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 3 Executive remuneration policy and practices (continued) (b) Short-term incentive plan The Company has adopted a short-term incentive (STI) plan for key employees, and is designed to motivate and align employees with the Group’s financial and strategic objectives. Non-executive Directors are not entitled to participate in the STI. Key employees are entitled to receive STI payments, calculated as a percentage of base salary, subject to achieving performance targets against key performance indicators agreed with the Board. The Group’s Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) has been assessed as the most suitable measure of financial performance for the STI, as EBIT aligns the Group’s operating profit performance to the incentive attainable. The following table outlines the key features of the STI Plan for the financial year ended 30 June 2023: PARTICIPANTS PERFORMANCE PERIOD PERFORMANCE TARGET OPPORTUNITY1 All KMP executives Financial year ending 30 June 2023 Performance was measured against a target EBIT, being the Group’s operational budgeted EBIT, approved and ratified by the Board. TARGET EBIT ACHIEVED % OF BASE SALARY <90% 90% 100% 110% 120% 0% 12.5% 25% 37.5% 50% PERFORMANCE RESULTS PAYMENT METHOD The Group did not achieve the reported EBIT result for the financial period, as such the Group STI performance target was not met. 100% of STI earned will be payable by way of cash in two equal tranches, over one year. Other than in certain circumstances, if the employee ceases employment with the Group, any tranches earned that have not yet been paid will be forfeited. 1 Where EBIT falls between target EBIT ranges, then % of Base Salary will be calculated on a pro rata basis between the upper and lower percentages of that range. Note that the STI payments are capped at a maximum of 50% of base salary. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 3 Executive remuneration policy and practices (continued) (c) Long-term incentive plan The Company adopted a new long-term incentive plan in connection with its admission to the ASX, the Omnibus Incentive Plan (LTI). Performance rights are issued under the LTI, and it provides for KMP to receive a number of performance rights, as determined by the Board, over ordinary shares. Performance rights issued under the LTI will be subject to performance conditions that are detailed below. The Remuneration Committee consider this equity performance-linked remuneration structure to be appropriate as KMP only receive a benefit when there is a corresponding direct benefit to shareholders. Details of performance rights over ordinary shares in the company provided as remuneration to each of the key management personnel of the group are set out below. When exercisable, each performance right is convertible into one ordinary share of Wagners Holding Company Limited. The following page provides the key details and movements of all key management personnel performance rights applicable to the financial year ended 30 June 2023. 28 | 29 REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 3 Executive remuneration policy and practices (continued) (c) Long-term incentive plan (continued) MOVEMENTS CALENDAR YEAR ISSUED TRANCHE GRANT DATE VESTING DATE EXPIRY DATE GRANT DATE FAIR VALUE VESTING CONDITIONS PERFORMANCE PERIOD1 1 JULY 2022 ISSUED EXERCISED FORFEITED2 30 JUNE 2023 EXPIRED/ 2022 2022 2022 2021 2021 2021 2021 2021 2021 2020 2020 2020 2019 2019 1 2 3 1 2 3 1A 1B 2A 1 2 3 1 3 20/09/2022 30/09/2025 20/09/2027 $0.08 FY23 SP3 1 year 20/09/2022 30/09/2025 20/09/2027 $0.12 FY24 SP4 2 years 20/09/2022 30/09/2025 20/09/2027 $0.15 FY25 SP5 3 years 26/11/2021 31/08/2022 26/11/2026 $1.42 FY22 EPS6 1 year 26/11/2021 31/08/2023 26/11/2026 $1.39 FY23 EPS6 2 years 26/11/2021 31/08/2024 26/11/2026 $1.37 FY24 EPS6 3 years 26/11/2021 31/08/2022 26/11/2024 $1.42 FY22 EPS6 1 year 26/11/2021 31/08/2022 26/11/2025 $1.42 FY22 EPS6 1 year 26/11/2021 31/08/2023 26/11/2025 $1.39 FY23 EPS6 2 years 19/11/2020 31/08/2021 19/11/2025 $1.41 FY21 EPS7 1 year 19/11/2020 31/08/2022 19/11/2025 $1.39 FY22EPS7 2 years 19/11/2020 31/08/2023 19/11/2025 $1.34 FY23 EPS7 3 years 20/11/2019 31/08/2020 20/11/2024 $1.88 FY20 EPS8 1 year 20/11/2019 31/08/2022 20/11/2024 $1.78 FY22 EPS8 3 years – 197,162 – 197,162 – 197,162 74,861 74,861 74,861 148,149 120,120 180,179 60,059 120,120 120,120 74,075 74,074 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – (148,149) – – – – – (74,075) (74,074) 197,162 197,162 197,162 74,861 74,861 74,861 – 120,120 180,179 60,059 120,120 120,120 – – 1,121,479 591,486 – (296,298) 1,416,667 1 2 3 4 5 Represents the relevant period of time to which both the performance vesting condition is measured and the period of time the recipient must remain employed with the Group.

STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1 The consolidated financial statements of Wagners Holding Company Limited and its subsidiaries (together, the ‘Group’ or ‘Consolidated Entity’) for the year ended 30 June 2023 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 21 August 2023. Wagners Holding Company Limited (the ‘Company’) is a for-profit company limited by shares incorporated on 2 November 2017 and domiciled in Australia. The principal activities of the Group during the year consisted of the production and sale of construction materials and its new generation building materials, including the provision of ancillary services. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) and the Corporations Act 2001, including interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). (i) Basis of measurement and reporting convention Except for cash flow information, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. (ii) New and revised accounting standards adoption There were no new or revised accounting standards adopted that had any impact on the group’s accounting policies and required retrospective adjustments. (iii) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, or involving a higher degree of judgement due to complexity are as follows: ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for expected credit losses assessment for trade receivables and contract assets requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact of current economic conditions and forward- looking information that is available. Refer to note 10 for further information. ESTIMATION OF USEFUL LIVES OF ASSETS The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non- strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. There was no adjustment required to the estimated useful lives of any assets during the financial year (2022: no adjustment). IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non- financial assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions using information available at the reporting date. No impairment indicators were identified. WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group. (c) Revenue recognition Sale of materials and goods The Group derives revenue from the sale of cement, flyash, aggregates, ready-mix concrete, precast concrete products and reinforcing steel. Sale of construction and new generation building materials contains only one performance obligation, with revenue recognised at the point in time when the material or good is transferred to the customer, with payment terms typically 30 days end of month. Provision of services The Group derives revenue from the provision of services including project specific mobile and on-site concrete batching, contract crushing and haulage services, with payment terms typically between 30-60 days end of month. INFRASTRUCTURE & MINING PROJECT SERVICES Revenue from infrastructure and mining project services is recognised when the performance obligation to the customer has been satisfied, which is generally when the service is performed on site. 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) (iii) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) INCREMENTAL BORROWING RATE Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. LEASE TERM In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). PERFORMANCE RIGHTS The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black Scholes model while taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions used include share price volatility, interest rates and vesting periods, refer to Note 26 for further information. (b) Principles of consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the Group and all of its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. 42 | 43 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (c) Revenue recognition (continued) Provision of services (continued) (d) Financial instruments Classification CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS For fixed-price construction contracts, mainly concerning the Group’s New Generation Building Materials division, and the construction of concrete batch plants, revenue is recognised over time based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is measured by reference to actual labour hours incurred and actual costs incurred, relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of the individual performance obligations. Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management. For precast infrastructure projects, revenue is recognised over time based on the output method, being segments produced as a proportion of the total segments to be delivered. Dividends and interest Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established, and interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax. Contract assets and contract liabilities AASB 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’ to describe what is commonly known as ‘accrued revenue’ and ‘deferred revenue’. Contract assets are balances due from customers under contracts as work is performed and therefore a contract asset is recognised over the period in which the performance obligation is fulfilled. This represents the entity’s right to consideration for the services transferred to date. Amounts are generally reclassified to trade receivables when these have been certified or invoiced to a customer. Contract liabilities arise where payment is received prior to work being performed. The group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: ` ` those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), or through profit or loss), and those to be measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI). The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Measurement At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Measurement of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost. WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (d) Financial instruments (continued) Measurement (continued) DEBT INSTRUMENTS Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the group classifies its debt instruments: ` Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the profit or loss. Fair Value through OCI (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. ` ` Impairment The Group’s accounting for impairment losses relating to financial assets is on a forward looking basis using the Expected Credit Losses (ECL) approach. For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on the Group’s historical credit losses against the receivables ageing profile. Derivatives The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks, respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. (e) Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and prior period adjustments (where applicable). Current and deferred tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income. In which case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements, at the tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, except for: ` When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; or ` When the taxable temporary differences relate to interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; or Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 44 | 45 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (e) Income tax (continued) (f) Earnings per share (i) Basic earnings per share Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Tax consolidation group Wagners Holding Company Limited, the ultimate Australian controlling entity, and its Australian subsidiaries, have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. Wagners Holding Company Limited and its subsidiaries in the tax consolidated Group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated Group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Wagners Holding Company Limited, the ultimate Australian controlling entity, also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from subsidiaries in the tax consolidated Group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding arrangements within the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Under the tax funding arrangement, the members of the tax consolidated Group compensate Wagners Holding Company Limited for any current tax payable assumed, and are compensated by Wagners Holding Company Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Wagners Holding Company Limited. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial period. (ii) Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. (g) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct costs & direct labour, costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimate costs of completion and the necessary costs to make the sale. (h) Intangibles Licenses and accreditations acquired as part of a prior business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The licenses and accreditations are carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated based on the timing of projected cash flows of the contracts over their estimated useful lives, which was estimated at 23 years. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (i) Property, plant and equipment All property, plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised through profit or loss. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(j) for details of impairment). The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 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 benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including land improvements & buildings, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Estimated useful lives for each class of depreciable asset are as follows: Land improvements & buildings 5 – 30 years Plant and equipment Motor vehicles 2 – 30 years 4 – 15 years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. (j) Impairment of non-financial assets Non-financial assets are tested at the end of each reporting period for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. An impairment test is carried out on an asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). (k) Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a business comprises of the: ` ` ` ` ` Fair values of the assets transferred; Liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business; Equity interests issued by the Group; Fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement; and Fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the business. 46 | 47 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (k) Business combinations and goodwill (continued) Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. (l) Foreign currency transactions and balances Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss. (iii) Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy), whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: ` Assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are translated at the closing exchange rate at the reporting date of the reporting period; and Income and expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates for the reporting period. ` Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. The cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of. (m) Employee benefits (i) Functional and presentation currency (i) Short-term employee benefits The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Wagners Holding Company Limited’s functional and presentation currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is presented as provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (m) Employee benefits (continued) (ii) Other long-term employee benefits The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provision for employee benefits the consolidated statement of financial position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as a current provision for employee benefits. (iii) Retirement benefit obligations All Australian-resident employees of the Group are entitled to receive a superannuation guarantee contribution, currently 10.5% of the employee’s average ordinary salary, to the employee’s superannuation fund of choice. All superannuation guarantee contributions are recognised as an expense when they become payable. All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the Group’s statement of financial position. Other amounts charged to the financial statements in this respect represents the contribution made by the consolidated entity to employee retirement benefit funds in other jurisdictions. (iv) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the Group recognises costs for restructuring pursuant to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the costs include termination benefits. In either case, unless the number of employees affected is known, the obligation for termination benefits is measured on the basis of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other long-term employee benefits. (v) Short-term incentive scheme The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration the earnings of the Group after certain adjustments, subject to Board approval. (n) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. (o) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reported within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 48 | 49 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (p) Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows where those cashflows represent solely payments of principal and interest and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (q) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the reporting period which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities and are normally paid within 45 days of recognition, unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period where they are recognised as non-current liabilities. (r) Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. Borrowings are removed from the consolidated statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying assets are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs not previously mentioned are expensed as incurred. (s) Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (t) Dividends Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period. (u) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms less than twelve months with no renewal options, and for leases of low‐value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. (y) New accounting standards for application in future periods New accounting standards and interpretations have been issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatory for the 30 June 2023 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group has assessed the impact of these new standards and interpretations and does not expect that there would be any material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (v) Rounding of amounts The amounts contained in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars where noted ($’000), or in certain cases the nearest dollar, under the option available to the Company under ASIC Legislative (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. The Company is an entity to which this legislative instrument applies. (w) Parent entity financial information The financial information for the parent entity, Wagner Holding Company Limited, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements. Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. (x) Leases As a lessee, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in a rate, or changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The right‐of‐use asset is initially measured at the amount of lease liability plus any lease payments made before commencement less any lease incentives received. It also includes and direct costs and restoration costs. Right- of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight- line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. 50 | 51 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 Corporate amounts reflect corporate costs incurred by the Group, as well as the financing and investment activities of the Group. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit before interest and tax. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis and inter-segment revenue is generated from the sales of materials and services between operations. Allocations of assets and liabilities are not separately identified in internal reporting so are not disclosed in this note. SEGMENT REPORTING 2 AASB 8 Operating Segments requires the Group to identify operating segments and disclose segment information on the basis of internal reports that are provided to, and reviewed by, the chief operating decision maker of the Group to allocate resources and assess performance. In the case of the Group, the chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors. An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activity from which it may earn revenues or incur expenditure, including those that relate with other Group components. Each operating segment’s results are reviewed regularly by the Board to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance. The Board monitors the operations of the Group based on the following three segments: ` Construction Materials & Services (CMS): supplies a range of construction materials and services predominantly to customers in the construction, infrastructure, and resources industries. Key products include cement, flyash, ready- mix concrete, precast concrete products, aggregates and reinforcing steel. Services include mobile concrete, crushing and haulage services, and are typically provided via medium to long-term contracts both domestically and internationally. ` Composite Fibre Technology (CFT): provides an innovative and environmentally sustainable new generation building material, Composite Fibre Technology (CFT). Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®): provides an innovative and environmentally sustainable new generation building material, Earth Friendly Concrete® (EFC®) technology. ` NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 2 Segment reporting (continued) Reconciliations of reportable segment revenues & profit or loss YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 Segment revenue Inter-segment elimination CMS $’000 433,472 (17,787) Revenue from contracts with customers 415,685 Other income 958 CFT $’000 59,244 – 59,244 6 Total revenue for the year 416,643 59,250 EFC® $’000 395 (35) 360 12 372 CORPORATE $’000 3,201 (3,038) 163 898 TOTAL $’000 496,312 (20,860) 475,452 1,874 1,061 477,326 Profit/(loss) before interest & income tax 36,350 (1,921) (4,010) (13,416) Finance costs Interest income Income tax expense Profit for the year YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 Segment revenue Inter-segment elimination CMS $’000 307,971 (13,753) CFT $’000 41,889 (36) Revenue from contracts with customers 294,218 41,853 Other income Total revenue for the year 1,595 295,813 – 41,853 EFC® $’000 377 (189) 188 – 188 CORPORATE $’000 1,822 (1,230) 592 268 860 Profit/(loss) before interest & income tax 31,858 1,947 (3,205) (9,635) Finance costs Interest income Income tax expense Profit for the year 17,003 (11,472) – (2,408) 3,123 TOTAL $’000 352,060 (15,208) 336,851 1,863 338,714 20,965 (10,541) 36 (2,828) 7,632 Major customers The Group has a number of customers to whom it provides both materials and services.

The Group has considered the collectability and recoverability of trade receivables and contract assets. An allowance for expected credit loss is recognised for the specific irrecoverable trade receivable amounts. The ageing of trade receivables are outlined for the current and prior financial periods as follows: TRADE RECEIVABLE AGEING AS AT 30 JUNE 2023 Current1 1 to 30 days past current 31 to 60 days past current 61 to 90 days past current 90+ days past current Contract assets Balance at end of period TRADE RECEIVABLE AGEING AS AT 30 JUNE 2022 Current1 1 to 30 days past current 31 to 60 days past current 61 to 90 days past current 90+ days past current Contract assets Balance at end of period EXPECTED LOSS RATE GROSS TRADE RECEIVABLE AND CONTRACT ASSET $’000 LOSS ALLOWANCE $’000 0.5% 1.0% 5.0% 20.0% 50.0% 0% 72,471 15,868 1,730 – 1,378 4,910 96,357 361 159 88 – 706 – 1,314 EXPECTED LOSS RATE GROSS TRADE RECEIVABLE AND CONTRACT ASSET $’000 LOSS ALLOWANCE $’000 0.5% 1.0% 5.0% 20.0% 50.0% 0 % 43,029 18,805 1,994 339 1,171 614 65,952 215 188 100 72 586 – 1,161 1 Current is defined as per the payment terms disclosed in note 1(c), being a combination of 30 and 60 day terms. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to the Group’s right to consideration for performance complete to date before payment is due and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for current trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 7 Trade and other receivables (continued) (b) Ageing of trade receivables and contract assets (continued) The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over the last 3 years. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP, country specific unemployment rates and the outlook for customer industries as the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. The Group has not adjusted its expected loss rate in the financial year ended 30 June 2023 due to it seeing no current trend with its customers extending outside payment terms. In addition, the Group foresees continued significant Government backed spending in the construction and infrastructure sectors in the coming financial periods, particularly in Southeast Queensland. Trade receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. Impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets are presented as net impairment losses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item. 8 INVENTORIES AT COST Raw materials and stores Work in progress Finished goods 30 JUN 2023 $’000 30 JUN 2022 $’000 24,263 518 16,474 41,255 28,343 153 21,844 50,340 The Group recognised $142.091 million of inventory through profit or loss for the financial year ending 30 June 2023 (2022: $109.086 million). 58 | 59 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 9 PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT LAND IMPROVEMENTS & BUILDINGS Land improvements & buildings — at cost Less accumulated depreciation PLANT & EQUIPMENT Plant & equipment — at cost Less accumulated depreciation MOTOR VEHICLES Motor vehicles — at cost Less accumulated depreciation ASSETS UNDER CONSTRUCTION — AT COST Total property, plant & equipment (a) Movements in carrying amounts 30 JUN 2023 $’000 30 JUN 2022 $’000 27,427 (7,075) 20,352 187,844 (93,995) 93,849 67,844 (38,628) 29,216 20,200 22,268 (6,416) 15,852 173,413 (83,333) 90,080 58,952 (31,766) 27,186 25,472 163,617 158,590 FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 $’000 Opening net book value Additions Transfers from under construction Transfers between classes Exchange differences Depreciation Disposals Closing net book value FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 $’000 Opening net book value Additions Transfers from under construction Transfers between classes Exchange differences Depreciation Disposals Closing net book value LAND IMPROVEMENTS & BUILDINGS 15,852 (1,419) 6,578 – – (659) – 20,352 16,509 – 37 – – (694) – 15,852 PLANT & EQUIPMENT 90,080 5,292 9,753 119 – (11,376) (19) 93,849 81,144 5,573 13,078 233 5 (9,865) (88) 90,080 MOTOR VEHICLES 27,186 8,273 2,173 (119) – (8,094) (203) ASSETS UNDER CONSTRUCTION 25,472 13,232 (18,504) – – – – TOTAL 158,590 25,378 – – – (20,129) (222) 29,216 20,200 163,617 25,593 8,543 619 (233) – (7,243) (93) 27,186 18,262 20,944 (13,734) – – – – 141,508 35,060 – – 5 (17,802) (181) 25,472 158,590 As at 30 June 2023 the value of the Group’s assets pledged as security was $24,290,242 (2022: $19,167,347).

The products within the finance facility bear interest at the Bank Bill Swap Rate plus a predetermined margin. Rates vary across the two club banks who cover the Group’s finance facilities, and are affected by a number of factors including prior covenant ratios, date range within the facility agreements and the sub-facility being utilised. As part of the extended facility agreement the Group must adhere to three covenants, a fixed charge cover ratio, debt to EBITDA ratio and a capitalisation ratio covenant. All covenants have been complied with during the financial years ended 30 June 2023 & 30 June 2022. In March 2023 the Group secured a facility limit increase to term debt of $20 million, up to $120 million. In July 2023 new facilities have been agreed to with existing lenders NAB & HSBC, with the documentation currently being finalised. These new facilities will expire in July 2026 and increase both term debt and working capital facility limits further to those already extended in March 2023, up to $150 million. 2 The Group enters into agreements to fund certain plant and equipment purchases; these are assessed on a case by case basis. The underlying plant and equipment is held as security over each Chattel mortgage until repayments are made in full. 64 | 65 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 15 Lease liabilities CURRENT Lease liabilities NON-CURRENT Lease liabilities Total current and non-current lease liabilities (a) Movements in carrying amounts LEASE LIABILITIES Opening net book value Additions Modifications Interest expense Lease repayments Closing net book value (b) Amounts recognised in profit or loss Interest expense on lease liabilities Rent & hire expense — low value assets Rent & hire expense — short-term Total NOTE 30 JUN 2023 $’000 30 JUN 2022 $’000 10,404 7,233 22(b) 133,712 144,116 102,858 110,091 30 JUN 2023 $’000 30 JUN 2022 $’000 110,091 – 37,915 5,591 (9,481) 144,116 99,935 2,049 11,255 4,409 (7,557) 110,091 30 JUN 2023 $’000 30 JUN 2022 $’000 5,591 821 9,451 4,409 654 5,033 15,863 10,096 Short-term lease commitments are entered into by the Group on a case-by-case basis, as such any commitments outstanding at the end of the financial year have an insignificant value in total. (c) Extension options Extension options are included in a number of premises leases across the Group, these are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing assets in the Group’s operations. In determining the lease term, the Group considers all facts and circumstances available at the time. Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended. The majority of the Group’s premises leases still have a considerable number of years left until expiry, as such no extension options on premises leases have been included in the calculation of lease liabilities.

The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement. The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service. In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long service leave being taken is based on historical data and the expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of corporate bonds with terms and conditions which match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been discussed in Note 1(m).

(d) Pre IPO distributions of equity Prior to listing on the ASX, transactions with other entities within the previous consolidated Group were recognised as a distribution of equity to related parties. (e) Capital risk management The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares and retained earnings of the Group. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as considers the potential of future dividends to ordinary shareholders. The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year. The consolidated entity monitors capital to ensure it maintains compliance with its various financial covenants. Refer to note 14 for a summary of existing financial covenants for the debt facilities. 68 | 69 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 19 RESERVES Share based payment reserve Foreign exchange reserve (a) Movement in each class of reserve SHARE BASED PAYMENT RESERVE Opening balance Share based payments fair value recognised in profit or loss Payments to employee share trust for vested performance rights (net of tax) Transfer exercised performance rights balance to retained earnings Closing balance FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVE Opening balance Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, net of tax Closing balance (b) Details of reserves (i) Share based payment reserve 30 JUN 2023 $’000 30 JUN 2022 $’000 184 (214) (30) 286 (272) 14 30 JUN 2023 $’000 30 JUN 2022 $’000 286 (102) – – 184 (272) 58 (214) 646 327 (650) (37) 286 (260) (12) (272) The share-based payment reserve arises on the grant of performance rights to executives under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI).

The Group subsequently does not measure any other assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. (a) Fair value hierarchy AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels as follows: ` ` ` Level 1: measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: measurements based on inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. Level 3: measurements based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). (b) Estimation of fair values The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group is the income approach: ` Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value. Fair value techniques and inputs are summarised as follows: DESCRIPTION FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY Derivative instruments Level 2 NOTE 16 VALUATION TECHNIQUE & INPUTS The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using the present value of future cash flows based on the forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 24 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk consisting of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk (commodity and equity price risk). The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. Risk management is carried out by a central finance department. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. Finance provides overall risk management, covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments in accordance with the Group’s facilities agreement and company policies. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for economic hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments. These derivatives are not designated hedges and the Group has therefore not applied hedge accounting. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, and aging analysis for credit risk. (a) Credit risk Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures such as the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties; ensuring to the extent possible that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Where the Group is unable to ascertain a satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or counterparty, these customers may be required to pay upfront, or the risk may be further managed through obtaining security by way of personal or commercial guarantees over assets of sufficient value which can be claimed against in the event of any default. Credit risk exposures The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is equivalent to the carrying amount of trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Group does not consider there to be any significant concentration of credit risk with any single/or group of customers. The Group derives revenue from one key customer (2022: two), which accounted for 12% of revenue for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 (2022: 22%). Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality, aggregates of such amounts are detailed in note 7. (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms: ` preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities; ` monitoring undrawn credit facilities; ` obtaining funding from a variety of sources; ` maintaining a reputable credit profile; ` managing credit risk related to financial assets; ` ` only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. 74 | 75 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 24 Financial risk management (continued) (b) Liquidity risk (continued) The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Bank overdrafts have been deducted in the analysis as management does not consider there is any material risk of termination of such facilities. Financial guarantee liabilities are treated as payable on demand since the Group has no control over the timing of any potential settlement of the liabilities. The table include both interest and principal cash flows and therefore the total may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Borrowings issued at variable rates, expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk if the borrowings are carried at fair value. Interest rate risk is managed using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and the Group enters into interest rate swaps to convert the majority of debt to fixed rate. At 30 June 2023 0% (2022: 62.7%) of Group debt is at a fixed rate. INTEREST RATE SWAPS The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Under these swaps, the Group agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts. The notional principal amounts of the swap contracts approximate the Group’s borrowing facilities, as described above. The net interest payment, or receipt settlements of the swap contracts occur every 30 to 90 days and correspond with interest payment dates on the borrowings. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following outstanding interest rate swap contracts: NOTIONAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT 30 JUN 2023 $’000 30 JUN 2022 $’000 INTEREST RATES Interest rate swaps – 50,000 3.78% This interest rate swap expired in July 2022. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates. Profit or loss is sensitive to the change in interest rates from higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents, and also the increase/ decrease in fair value of derivative instruments as they are measured at fair value through profit or loss, per note 1(j).

The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales & purchases are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The functional currencies of Group companies is primarily the Australian dollar (AUD), with currently minor subsidiaries operating in United States dollars (USD) & Malaysian ringgit (RM). FOREIGN EXCHANGE FORWARD CONTRACTS At any point in time, the Group hedges 60% to 100% of its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of forecast purchases in US Dollars (USD), being the main exposure, over the following 12 months. The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk. These contracts commit the Group to buy and sell specified amounts of foreign currencies in the future at specified exchange rates, most have a maturity of less than 1 year from the reporting date. The Group’s current foreign subsidiaries operations is collectively immaterial, and so the Group does not hedge against these foreign currency exposures. The following table summarises the notional amounts of the Group’s commitments in relation to foreign exchange forward contracts.

The Group's exposure to commodity price risk arises from commercial transactions required for the operations of the business. To manage its commodity price risk the Group enters into fixed price contracts with its main suppliers for raw materials in its cement business. There are no derivative asset or liabilities in relation to commodity prices at year end, and so any commodity price movement would not impact reported profit for the year ended 30 June 2023. 78 | 79 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 25 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (a) Parent entity Wagners Holding Company Limited is the Group’s ultimate parent entity.

Performance rights are issued under the LTI, and it provides senior executives to receive a number of performance rights, as determined by the Board, over ordinary shares. Performance rights issued under the LTI will be subject to performance conditions that are detailed below. The Remuneration Committee consider this equity performance-linked remuneration structure to be appropriate as senior executives only receive a benefit when there is a corresponding direct benefit to shareholders. (a) Expenses recognised through profit or loss The total expense for share based payment recognised through Profit or Loss for the financial year 30 June 2023 was a credit of $102,699 (2022: $327,036 expense).

Page | 97 WAGNERS ANNUAL REPORT 2023 Revenue recognition and measurement Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Group’s disclosures regarding revenue recognition are included in Note 1(c) and Note 3, detailing the accounting policies applied, and disclosures relating to AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The assessment of revenue recognition was significant to our audit given revenue is a material balance within the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023. The assessment of revenue recognition and measurement required significant auditor effort. In addition, the Group entered into a contract during the prior year to provide precast materials to the Sydney Metro tunnel project. This contract requires the Group to manufacture and supply tunnel segments over a two-year period. The total value of the contract is considered material to the Group, and required significant auditor effort in assessing the revenue recognition of this contract. Our procedures included, but were not limited to: • Assessing the Group’s revenue recognition policy for compliance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; • Documenting the processes and assessing the internal controls relating to revenue processing and recognition; • Tracing a sample of revenue transactions to supporting documentation and the satisfaction of performance obligations; • Performing detailed substantive analytical procedures on the yearly sales for each material component; • Obtaining management’s revenue recognition paper on the Sydney Metro tunnelling contract, assessing revenue recognition for compliance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers including identifying separate performance obligations and allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, obtaining a confirmation of the year end receivables balance, reconciling amounts recognised as revenue and contract assets or liabilities, and attending physical observation of the production process at year end; and • Assessing the adequacy of the Group's disclosures within the financial statements. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Page | 98 96 | 97 In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared. Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
