By accessing this Presentation, you represent and warrant that you are entitled to receive such Presentation in accordance with these restrictions, and agree to be bound by the limitations contemplated by them.
No investment or financial product advice
This Presentation, and the information provided in it, does not constitute, and is not intended to constitute, financial product or investment advice, or a recommendation to acquire New Shares or invest in the Company, nor does it constitute, and is not intended to constitute, accounting, legal or tax advice and must not be relied upon as such. This Presentation does not, and will not, form any part of any contract or commitment for the acquisition of New Shares. This Presentation has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial or tax situation or particular needs of any individual. Before making an investment decision (including any investment in New Shares or Bapcor generally), prospective investors should consider the appropriateness of the information and an investment having regard to their own objectives, financial and tax situation and needs, and seek professional advice from their legal, financial, taxation or other independent adviser (having regard to the requirements of all relevant jurisdictions). Bapcor is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of an investment in shares. Cooling off rights do not apply to the acquisition of New Shares. Any investment in any publicly-traded company, including Bapcor, is subject to significant risks of loss of income and capital.
Forward-looking statements
This Presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking words such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "plan", "estimate", "target", "propose", "anticipate", "continue", "forecasts", "outlook" and "guidance", or other similar words (or the negative thereof). These forward-looking statements included all matters that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: Bapcor’s intent, belief or current expectations with respect to the timetable, conduct and outcome of the Equity Raising and the use of proceeds thereof, statements about the plans, objectives and strategies of the management of Bapcor, statements about the industry and markets in which Bapcor operates, statements about the future performance of Bapcor's business and its financial condition, indicative drivers, forecasted economic indicators and the outcome of the Equity Raising and the use of proceeds.
By their nature, forward-looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance and achievements to be materially greater or less than estimated (refer to the "Key Risks" section of the Equity Raising Presentation released to the ASX by Bapcor on or around the date of this Presentation).
==> picture [62 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

These factors may include, but are not limited to, funding, servicing and liquidity risk, strategic execution and transformation risk, changes in commodity and energy prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, capital market conditions, increased costs, a reduction in demand for Bapcor's products, supply chain disruptions, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which Bapcor operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including climate change and extreme weather conditions, environmental issues, the recruitment and retention of key personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.
Any such forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates in this Presentation (including any statements about market and industry trends) are based on assumptions and contingencies, all of which are subject to change without notice, and may ultimately prove to be materially incorrect. Accordingly, prospective investors should consider any forward-looking statements in this Presentation in light of those disclosures, and not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as, and are not, an indication or guarantee of future performance. All forward-looking statements involve significant elements of subjective judgement, assumptions as to future events that may not be correct, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors – many of which are outside the control of Bapcor. Except as required by applicable law or regulation (including the ASX Listing Rules), Bapcor does not make any representations, and provides no warranties, concerning the accuracy of any forward-looking statements, and disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Bapcor nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or advisors give any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the fairness, accuracy, completeness or correctness of the information, opinions and conclusions contained in this Presentation.
Investment Risks
As noted above, an investment in Bapcor (including New Shares) is subject to both known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of Bapcor. Bapcor does not guarantee any particular rate of return or its performance, nor does it guarantee any particular tax treatment of transactions involving its securities (including New Shares). Prospective investors should have regard to the risks outlined in this Presentation, including the "Key Risks" section of the Equity Raising Presentation released to the ASX by Bapcor on or around the date of this Presentation, when making their investment decision, and should make their own enquires and investigations regarding all information in this Presentation and the Equity Raising Presentation released to the ASX by Bapcor on or around the date of this Presentation, including, but not limited to, the assumptions, uncertainties and contingencies that may affect Bapcor's future operations, and the impact that different future outcomes may have on Bapcor. There is no guarantee that any investment in Bapcor (including an investment in New Shares) will make a return on the capital invested, that dividends will be paid on any New Shares, or that there will be an increase in the value of Bapcor or the New Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in Bapcor (including an investment in New Shares) should be considered highly speculative, and potential investors should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to invest in Bapcor (including any subscription for New Shares).

| Same store sales | -1.1% | +1.8% | -2.9ppt |
| # of branches | 245 | 237 | +8 |
-
Parts revenue down -1.1% on pcp driven by increased competition combined with high turnover of store manager roles.
-
Tools & Equipment revenue down -9.1%, driven largely by weakness in the Tools category due to competition and disruption in the equipment business.
• EBITDA and EBITDA margin were down due to lower gross margin from competitive market, cost of good price increases, and broader cost inflation (labour and occupancy). Margins in the equipment business were adversely impacted by increased competition and foreign exchange headwinds
-
1H25 result also benefited from $4M non-recurring provision release
-
Strategic network expansion continued with 3 new branches across Queensland and South Australia and 1 in Thailand. Branch expansion program under review

-
Gross margin percentage decline largely influenced by the Trade segment
-
Ongoing strategic investment in information technology projects and supply chain initiatives, as well as higher employee costs increased CODB by $26.7M
-
FY25 comparatives have been restated largely due to accounting issues identified in the Trade segment including the previously announced non-recurring margin impacts

Notes

-
Underlying net debt is calculated as statutory net debt excluding the impact of lease liabilities and adjusting for the net derivative financial instruments position. This approach is consistent with banking covenant requirements.
-
Net leverage ratio is calculated by dividing net bank debt by pre-AASB16 underlying EBITDA adjusted for share based payment expense, significant and other items allowed to be excluded within covenant calculations 3. Significant items relate to non-recurring expenditure on IT projects – BMW, HRIS and payroll simplification. Refer to slide 10 for more details.
