ESG Highlights from FY2025

  • Across all operations, Austal is embedding technologies that improve energy efficiency, enable alternative fuels and support greater vessel autonomy.

  • We are building sustainability into our supply chain; from sourcing lowercarbon aluminium and steel to partnering with suppliers on waste reduction, packaging optimisation and renewable energy adoption.

==> picture [95 x 134] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [106 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

  • Sustainable vessel design was demonstrated in two projects that commenced FY2025;

  • 66.8-metre sailing cargo trimaran that will operate on 100 percent wind power; and

  • 130-metre ‘hydrogen ready’ high-speed ferry, adaptable to LNG and other low carbon fuels

  • Leading the development and management of the Centre of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing for the US Navy in the United States

  • Undertaking scenario analysis to enhance understanding of Austal’s climate resilience. Two scenarios: one aligned with the 1.5°C target and another reflecting a higher warming pathway above 3°C. These scenarios, underway, will help assess the strategic, operational and financial impacts of different climate futures.

  • Austal has supported impactful community initiatives, fostering wellbeing and positive change, at all our locations around the world.

1 Our ability to achieve these goals is subject to the availability of low carbon solutions in the market and the pace of technological advancement. 6

It should not be considered as an offer or invitation to subscribe for or purchase any securities in Austal or as an inducement to make an offer or invitation with respect to those securities. No agreement to subscribe for securities in Austal will be entered into on the basis of this presentation.

This presentation contains “forward-looking” statements in relation to the financial condition, operations and business of Austal which are based on Austal’s current expectations, assumptions and the information available to Austal at the date of this presentation. These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding targets, projections or estimates as to events that may occur in the future which rely upon the best judgement of Austal and should not be relied upon as an indication or guarantee of future performance of Austal. Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Austal to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

In addition, certain matters included in Austal’s financial statements involve significant judgements and have forward looking elements. For example, the assessment of contract revenues in accordance with Austal’s accounting policies requires estimates of contract revenues, contract costs (and cost contingencies) and the current percentage of completion.

A summary of the key risks that may impact the business and such forward-looking statements is set out in Austal’s Corporate Governance Statement and published on its website – they include – but are not limited to – impacts to US programs, the availability of US government funding due to budgetary or debt ceiling constraints; changes in customer priorities or their ability to meet contractual requirements, additional costs or schedule revisions. There are also broader risks to the enterprise such as cyber security, HSEQ incidents, product liability, recruitment and workforce restraints and material unexpected changes to Austal’s financing arrangements. Austal’s expansion in Asia also naturally brings with it a number of risks that are typical when entering new jurisdictions or expanding in others. Actual results may also affect the capitalization changes on earnings per share; the allowability of costs under government cost accounting divestitures or joint ventures; the timing and availability of future impact of acquisitions; the timing and availability of future government awards; economic, business and regulatory conditions and other factors. Austal disclaims any duty to update forward looking statements to reflect new developments; more information on key enterprise risks can be found in the Company's annual report and corporate governance statement.

Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, Austal makes no representation and can give no assurance, guarantee or warranty, express or implied, as to, and takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for, the authenticity, validity, accuracy, suitability or completeness of, or any errors in or omission, from any information, statement or opinion contained in this presentation.
