[1] Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") income - Shipping and Gross profit – Product Services reflect the Shipping and Product Services segments, respectively. TCE income – Shipping represents revenue from time charters and spot voyage charters less voyage expenses comprising primarily fuel oil, port charges and commission, and inter-segment expense. See Note 9, Segment Information, to the condensed consolidated interim financial information.

[2] Basic and diluted EPS (earnings per share) is computed based on Q2 2025: 151.4 million and 151.7 million (H1 2025: 151.7 million and 151.8 million) shares, respectively, the weighted average number of shares outstanding less treasury shares during the period.

[3] Adjusted free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and is computed as net cash from operating activities minus cash outflows for additions in property, plant and equipment and additions in intangible assets, sale of assets held-for-sale and sale of vessels. See page 28 for a reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow to the nearest IFRS measure.

[4] ROE (return on equity) is computed as, with respect to a particular period, the ratio of the profit after tax for such period to the average of the shareholders' equity, calculated as the average of the opening and closing balance for the period as presented in the consolidated balance sheet.

[5] ROCE (return on capital employed) is a non-IFRS measure and is computed as, with respect to a particular period, the ratio of the operating profit for such period to capital employed defined as the average of the total shareholders' equity, total borrowings and total lease liabilities, calculated as the average of the opening and closing balance for such period as presented in the consolidated balance sheet. See page 29 for a reconciliation of ROCE to the nearest IFRS measure.

[6] Net leverage ratio is computed as the sum of total borrowings and total lease liabilities minus cash and cash equivalents as set out in the consolidated statement of cash flows, divided by the sum of total borrowings, total lease liabilities and total shareholders' equity minus cash and cash equivalents as set out in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS – Q2 2025

  • Q2 2025 profit attributable to equity holders of the Company ended at US\$34.9 million or an earnings per share of US\$0.23.
  • TCE income Shipping Q2 2025 concluded at US\$38,850 per available day1 and US\$37,280 per calendar day (total)1.
  • The Company declared a Q2 2025 cash dividend of US\$0.22 per share. This dividend corresponds to 110% of the Shipping NPAT2 for the quarter. This cash dividend represents a payout ratio of 96% for the quarter, as a percentage of total profit attributable to equity holders.
  • Following the previously announced delivery of BW Kizoku, BW Yushi was delivered to BW LPG in June 2025, following the exercise of the purchase option, for consideration of US\$69.2 million.
  • In June 2025, the Group secured a US\$380 million Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility at a highly competitive margin to refinance the vessels acquired from Avance Gas, which was completed at the end of 2024, and terminated its shareholder loan of US\$250 million in June 2025 ahead of its expiry.
  • In July 2025, the Group's subsidiary, BW LPG India, secured a US\$215 million Term Loan Facility to refinance its existing debt and to support the acquisition of two modern Very Large Gas Carriers ("VLGCs"), BW Chinook and BW Pampero, from BW LPG.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW – Q2 2025 and H1 2025

Q2 2025

TCE income – Shipping was US\$152.7 million for Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: US\$148.6 million), representing a small increase of US\$4.1 million from Q2 2024. The limited TCE income increase was primarily due to a lower LPG spot market of US\$35,600 per day, a 33% decline compared to Q2 2024, which offset the benefit of higher available fleet days of 3,929 in Q2 2025 (31% growth) from the enlarged fleet following the completion of the Avance Gas acquisition. Our scheduled drydocking program also reduced available fleet days by 139 days (Q2 2024: 55 days). The effects of IFRS 15 adjustments due to spot voyages that straddled the quarter-end were recognised on a load-to-discharge basis and negatively impacted TCE income by US\$4.6 million in Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: insignificant impact). Albeit a softer spot market, the TCE income – Shipping continues to be well supported by the increased time charter coverage of 44% (Q2 2024: 35%) of available days at US\$43,000 per day (Q2 2024: US\$42,800 per day). Additionally, our India subsidiary continued to deliver stable TCE income of US\$30.7 million for Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: US\$30.6 million), mainly from fixed-rate time charters.

Product Services reported a gross profit of US\$14.8 million for Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: gross profit of US\$24.5 million). The decline in gross profit was mainly due to a lower realised profits of US\$23.9 million. This was offset by an increase of US\$14.2 million in the mark-to-market valuation of unrealised positions relative to Q2 2024. After general and administrative expenses and income taxes totalling US\$9.2 million (Q2 2024: US\$8.8 million), Product Services reported a profit after tax of US\$5.6 million in Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: US\$15.7 million).

Profit after tax was US\$43.4 million for Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: US\$84.9 million). The decrease in profit after tax was primarily attributed to a reduction in operating profit of US\$30.5 million and higher net finance expenses of US\$11.8 million. The profit after tax was also impacted by higher vessel operating expense of US\$11.5 million and depreciation of US\$15.8 million. These changes mainly reflect the full effect of the added Avance Gas fleet under a less favorable spot market.

1 TCE income – Shipping per available and calendar day (total) are non-IFRS measures and are computed as TCE income – Shipping divided by available days and calendar days (total), respectively. See pages 27 and 28 for a reconciliation of TCE income – Shipping per available day and calendar day (total) to the nearest IFRS measure.

2 Shipping NPAT, or Shipping's Net Profit After Tax, is calculated as profit attributable to equity holders of BW LPG, minus BW LPG's share of BW LPG Product Services Pte. Ltd.'s net profit/(loss) after tax. See page 26.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW – Q2 2025 and H1 2025 (continued)

H1 2025

TCE income – Shipping was US\$311.3 million for H1 2025 (H1 2024: US\$335.1 million), representing a decrease of US\$23.8 million from H1 2024. The decline was primarily due to a lower LPG spot market of US\$37,500 per day, a 39% decline compared to H1 2024, which more than offset the benefit of higher available fleet days of 7,919 days in H1 2025 (31% growth) from the enlarged fleet following the completion of the Avance Gas acquisition. Our scheduled drydocking program also reduced available fleet days by 219 days (H1 2024: 102 days). Albeit a softer spot market, the TCE income – Shipping continues to be well supported by the increased time charter coverage of 42% (H1 2024: 32%) of available days at US\$41,900 per day (H1 2024: US\$43,600 per day). Additionally, our India subsidiary continued to deliver stable TCE income of US\$62.4 million for H1 2025 (H1 2024: US\$60.0 million), mainly from fixed-rate time charters. The TCE income – Shipping also includes a positive IFRS 15 impact to TCE income – Shipping of US\$7.0 million in H1 2025 (H1 2024: US\$26.4 million), as spot voyages straddling the period-end were recognised on a load-to-discharge basis.

For the first half of 2025, Product Services generated a gross profit of US\$11.2 million, down from US\$57.8 million in H1 2024. The gross profit decrease came from lower realised profits of US\$10.3 million and a decrease in unrealised positions of US\$36.3 million. After general and administrative expenses and income taxes of US\$18.0 million (H1 2024: US\$21.1 million), Product Services reported a loss after tax of US\$6.8 million for H1 2025 (H1 2024: profit after tax of US\$36.7 million).

Profit after tax for H1 2025 was US\$110.0 million, down from US\$234.7 million in H1 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a lower operating profit of US\$109.3 million and increased net finance expenses of US\$21.4 million, partially offset by a lower income tax expense of US\$6.1 million. The profit after tax was also impacted by higher vessel operating expense of US\$19.2 million and depreciation of US\$30.2 million. These changes mainly reflect the full-period impact of the enlarged fleet following the completion of the Avance Gas transaction in Q4 2024 under a less favorable spot market.

Profit attributable to non-controlling interests was US\$29.0 million for H1 2025 (H1 2024: US\$15.9 million), driven by BW LPG India's gain of US\$32.1 million from the sale of BW Cedar. This was partially offset by a US\$6.7 million decrease in attributable profit to non-controlling interests from BW Product Services.

BALANCE SHEET

As of 30 June 2025, BW LPG controls a fleet of 51 VLGCs, including seven vessels which are owned and operated by BW LPG India. Total assets amounted to US\$3,384.8 million (31 December 2024: US\$3,320.4 million), of which US\$2,459.5 million (31 December 2024: US\$2,381.8 million) represented the carrying value of the vessels (including dry docking), and US\$97.8 million (31 December 2024: US\$216.3 million) represented the carrying value of right-of-use assets (vessels).

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to US\$321.0 million as of 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: US\$279.7 million). Cash flow from operating activities generated a net cash surplus of US\$261.0 million in H1 2025 (H1 2024: US\$458.4 million), of which the net cash inflow of US\$28.8 million (H1 2024: US\$141.2 million) related to changes in working capital. Investing activities generated a cash outflow of US\$83.2 million in H1 2025 (H1 2024: cash inflow of US\$48.9 million), which comprised exercising the purchase option of BW Kizoku and BW Yushi, and US\$19.3 million paid for drydocking activities. These payments were partially offset by proceeds of US\$65.0 million from the sale of BW Cedar.

After considering the net drawdown of bank facilities, which includes the drawdown of revolving credit facilities and repayment of the shareholder loan, the H1 2025 net cash outflow for financing activities of US\$122.3 million (H1 2024: US\$436.4 million) was driven by principal and interest repayments of US\$53.2 million, dividend payments of US\$117.2 million, US\$50.3 million in lease repayments, and a net US\$14.5 million net repayment of trade finance borrowings.

Net leverage ratio decreased from 32.7% as of 31 December 2024, to 30.7% as of 30 June 2025 due to lower lease liabilities after the exercise of the purchase options for BW Kizoku and BW Yushi in H1 2025, while partially offset by the drawdown of the new US\$380 million facility.

MARKET UPDATE

The first half of 2025 was characterised by significant geopolitical events that impacted both freight rates and trading patterns. Spot rates for the Houston to Chiba route started the year around US\$40,000 but began to decline gradually through the winter months. Milder winter temperatures in the US compared to recent years, however, supported export volumes and VLGC (Very Large Gas Carrier) earnings.

As freight rates strengthened going into April, the emerging trade war between the US and China had a dramatic effect on US LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) volumes destined for China. In just a few weeks, export volumes fell sharply, pulling spot rates down with them. However, this shock to the market proved short-lived, as excess US LPG production not consumed domestically is priced to clear in the international market. Consequently, export volumes continued to flow out of the US, finding new markets in different countries. Regular importers of US LPG increased their purchase volumes, while India emerged as a new buyer of significant US volumes. Overall, US LPG exports carried on VLGCs in the first half of 2025 grew by 7.1% compared to the same period in 2024.

Volumes exported from the Middle East on VLGCs increased by 0.6% in the first half of 2025, partly due to reversed OPEC+ production cuts. Like US exports, Middle East shipments were affected by the trade war, with export volumes shifting away from India towards China. This shift positively impacted ton-mile demand and led to higher freight rates. Additional support for spot earnings was observed in June when geopolitical uncertainty and a heightened risk of closure in the Strait of Hormuz drove VLGC rates higher.

Despite the rapid rebalancing of LPG trades, overall rates for the first half were significantly lower than the same period of 2024.

Following the end of the first half of 2025, the reshuffling of trading patterns began to revert to normal. Chinese LPG imports from the US increased in July, although from a low baseline. In contrast, Indian imports from the US decreased significantly, and Middle Eastern exports began to stabilise, returning to a more balanced distribution between India and China.

As we moved into August, demand for pre-booked Panama Canal slots has been stronger than usual, resulting in fewer canal transit auctions and fees considerably above typical levels. In response, several VLGCs have been rerouted away from the Panama Canal to take the longer route via the Cape of Good Hope. While conditions in the Panama Canal can change rapidly, the effects of vessels sailing around the Cape can last for months.

Fleet Capacity

So far in 2025, seven new VLGCs have been delivered, with an additional seven expected by the end of the year. Currently, there are 111 VLGCs on order, representing 27% of the existing fleet. Established shipyards have indicated they will not be able to deliver new VLGCs before late 2027.

VLGC Freight Market Outlook

Freight rates have rebounded from their lowest point earlier this year to levels exceeding US\$70,000 per day, supported by sound fundamentals and existing trading inefficiencies.

Looking ahead, we expect fluctuations in the spot market driven by weather changes, geopolitical developments, Panama Canal availability, and other factors to affect the VLGC market.

Expectations for North American LPG export growth are projected to be in the mid to high single-digit percentage range over the next three years, largely supported by the onboarding of new export terminals. Additionally, Middle Eastern LPG exports are anticipated to grow in the same range in the coming years, fuelled by increased gas production from new projects in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other countries in the region.

Moreover, run rates at Chinese PDH (propane dehydrogenation) plants have returned to pre-trade war levels. A continued robust demand in China, together with new export capacity coming online in the US, will likely contribute to a constructive US-Far East arbitrage, which is positive for shipping.

The Ras Tanura-Chiba Forward Freight Agreement (FFA) market for the remainder of 2025 is currently reflecting earnings at the lower range of US\$60,000 per day, albeit with limited liquidity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Board of Directors

BW LPG Limited

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information of BW LPG Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), which comprises:

  • the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2025;
  • the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025;
  • the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025; and
  • notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information

("condensed consolidated interim financial information").

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2025 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

Basis of preparation

The Interim Financial Information for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The Interim Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

In the preparation of this set of Interim Financial Information, the same accounting policies have been applied as those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of the Interim Financial Information requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this Interim Financial Information, the judgements made by Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

6. Borrowings and lease liabilities (continued)

As at 30 June 2025, borrowings amounting to US\$937.0 million (31 December 2024: US\$762.6 million) are secured by mortgages over certain vessels of the Group (note 4). These borrowings are interest bearing at US\$ SOFR + margin and they contain covenants (the "Quarterly Covenants") stating that at the end of each quarter, the Group shall ensure that its adjusted equity ratio, minimum adjusted equity, and minimum liquidity do not fall below the agreed thresholds (as defined in the respective borrowings agreements), otherwise the borrowings will be repayable on demand.

At 30 June 2025, the Group complied with the Quarterly Covenants and accordingly, the borrowings are classified as non-current at 30 June 2025. If the Group continues with its financial position as at the end of the reporting date, the Group expects to comply with the Quarterly Covenants within 12 months after the reporting date.

7. Related party transactions

8. Financial risk management

The Interim Financial Information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; the Interim Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2024. There have been no major changes in any risk management policies or processes since the previous year end.

(a) Financial instruments by category

The aggregate carrying amounts of the Group's financial instruments are as follows:

Financial assets at amortised cost 680,217 437,401
Financial liabilities at amortised cost (1,284,407) (1,097,701)

(b) Estimation of fair value

IFRS 13 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritises inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value input hierarchy defined by IFRS 13 are as follows:

  • (i) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
  • (ii) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) (Level 2); and
  • (iii) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

8. Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Estimation of fair value (continued)

Derivative financial assets and liabilities

The Group's financial derivative instruments primarily relate to interest rate swaps, forward freight agreements, bunker swaps and commodity contracts measured at fair value (note 3).

Level 2 classifications primarily include exchange-traded futures including interest rate swaps, forward freight agreements, bunker swaps and commodity contracts. The fair values of interest rate swaps are calculated at the present value of estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves. The fair values of forward freight agreements, bunker swaps and commodity contracts measured at fair value are determined using forward commodity indices at the balance sheet date.

Level 3 classifications primarily include the physical buy and sell commodity contracts where the fair values are estimated using valuation techniques based on the best information available. The fair values are estimated based on observable market prices obtained from exchanges and broker quotes, adjusted for location differentials and unobservable inputs such as shipping and financing costs. Where observable market prices are not available for commodity and freight prices are not available for the remaining tenure of the physical commodity contracts, management has utilised unobservable inputs based on internally developed proxy curves for the estimation of these prices beyond the observable period. As the fair value estimation process involves uncertainties and significant judgement over the unobservable inputs and assumptions, the fair values of the physical buy and sell commodity contracts are classified under Level 3.

Non-derivative non-current financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amount of non-derivative non-current financial assets and liabilities which bear floating interest rates are assumed to approximate their fair value because of the short repricing period. There are no non-current financial assets and liabilities which do not bear floating interest rates.

Non-derivative current financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair value because of the short period to maturity.

9. Segment information

The executive management team ("EMT") is the Group's chief operating decision-maker. The Group identifies segments on the basis of those components of the Group that the EMT regularly reviews. The Group considers the business from each individual business segment perspective which comprises the Shipping and Product Services segments.

The reported measure of segment performance is gross profit, which the EMT uses to assess the performance of the operating segments. For the Shipping segment, gross profit is reflected as TCE income - Shipping. For the Product Services segment, gross profit is reflected as Gross profit – Product Services. Operating segment disclosures are consistent with the information reviewed by the Management.

12. Subsequent event

In July 2025, the Group's subsidiary, BW LPG India, secured a US\$215 million Term Loan Facility to refinance its existing debt and to support the acquisition of two modern VLGCs, BW Chinook and BW Pampero, from BW LPG.

APPENDIX - Non-IFRS financial measures

This interim financial report contains a number of non-IFRS financial measures that Management uses to monitor and analyse the performance of the Group's business. Non-IFRS financial measures exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or are calculated using measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures may be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information presented in accordance with IFRS.

The Group believes that these non-IFRS financial measures, in addition to IFRS measures, provide an enhanced understanding of the Group's results and related trends, therefore increasing transparency and clarity of the Group's results and business.

There are no generally accepted accounting principles governing the calculation of these measures and the criteria upon which these measures are based can vary from company to company. The non-IFRS financial measures presented in this interim financial report may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Group's operating results as reported under IFRS. The Group encourages investors and analysts not to rely on any single financial measure but to review the Group's financial and non-financial information in its entirety.

The following non-IFRS measures are presented in this interim financial report.

TCE income – Shipping per calendar day (total)

The Group defines TCE income - Shipping per calendar day (total) as TCE income - Shipping divided by calendar days (total).

The Group defines calendar days (total) as the total number of days in a period during which vessels are owned or chartered-in is in its possession, including technical off-hire days and waiting days. Calendar days (total) are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenue and the amount of expense that the Group records during that period.

The Group defines waiting days as the number of days its vessels are unemployed for market reasons, excluding technical off-hire days. Ballast voyages, positioning voyages prior to deliveries on time charters and time spent on cleaning of tanks when vessels are switching from one cargo type to another are not considered waiting time. Waiting days per vessel are calculated as total waiting days for owned and chartered-in vessels divided by the number of owned and chartered-in vessels (not weighted by ownership share in each vessel).

The Group defines technical off-hire as the time lost due to off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys. Technical off-hire per vessel is calculated as an average for owned, bareboat and chartered-in vessels (not weighted by ownership share in each vessel).

The Group believes TCE income - Shipping per calendar day (total) is meaningful to investors because it is a measure of how well the Company manages the fleet technically and commercially.

The reconciliation of TCE income - Shipping per calendar day (total) to TCE income - Shipping for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 is provided below.

Q2 2025 Q2 2024 H1 2025 H1 2024
TCE income – Shipping (US\$'000) 152,656 148,594 311,326 335,124
Calendar days (total) 4,095 3,094 8,189 6,232
TCE income – Shipping per calendar day (total) (US\$) 37,280 48,030 38,020 53,770

APPENDIX - Non-IFRS financial measures (continued)

TCE income – Shipping per available day

The Group defines TCE income – Shipping per available day as TCE income – Shipping divided by available days.

The Group defines available days as the total number of days (including waiting time) in a period during which each vessel is owned or chartered-in, net of technical off-hire days. The Group uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate or are capable of generating revenue.

The Group defines waiting days as the number of days its vessels are unemployed for market reasons, excluding technical off-hire days. Ballast voyages, positioning voyages prior to deliveries on time charters and time spent on cleaning of tanks when vessels are switching from one cargo type to another are not considered waiting time. Waiting days per vessel are calculated as total waiting days for owned and chartered-in vessels divided by the number of owned and chartered-in vessels (not weighted by ownership share in each vessel).

The Group defines technical off-hire as the time lost due to off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys. Technical off-hire per vessel is calculated as an average for owned, bareboat and chartered-in vessels (not weighted by ownership share in each vessel).

The Group believes TCE income – Shipping per available day is meaningful to investors because it is a measure of how well the Group manages the fleet commercially.

The reconciliation of TCE income - Shipping per available day (total) to TCE income - Shipping for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 is provided below.

Adjusted free cash flow

The Group defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash from operating activities minus cash outflows for additions in property, plant and equipment and additions in intangible assets, sale of assets held-for-sale and sale of vessels.

The Group believes adjusted free cash flow is meaningful to investors because it is the measure of the funds generated by the Group available for distribution of dividends, repayment of debt or to fund the Group's strategic initiatives, including acquisitions. The purpose of presenting adjusted free cash flow is to indicate the ongoing cash generation within the control of the Group after taking account of the necessary cash expenditures for maintaining the operating structure of the Group (in the form of capital expenditure).

The reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow to net cash inflow from operating activities for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 is provided below.

APPENDIX - Non-IFRS financial measures (continued)

Return on capital employed (ROCE)

The Group defines return on capital employed ("ROCE") as, with respect to a particular financial period, the ratio of the operating profit for such period to capital employed defined as the average of the total shareholders' equity, total borrowings and total lease liabilities, calculated as the average of the opening and closing balance for such period as presented in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Group believes ROCE is meaningful to investors because it measures the Group's financial efficiency and its ability to create future growth in value.

The reconciliation of ROCE to operating profit for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 is provided below.

Rounding of figures

Certain financial information presented in tables in this interim financial report has been rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest decimal place. Therefore, the sum of the numbers in a column may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column. In addition, certain percentages presented in the tables in this interim financial report reflect calculations based upon the underlying information prior to rounding, and, accordingly, may not conform exactly to the percentages that would be derived if the relevant calculations were based upon the rounded numbers.
