Message from the Chair

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to have this opportunity to share our results and operating review for the 2024/25 financial year on behalf of your Board. I am proud to report that CSL has stayed true to our mission of delivering for patients, communities and shareholders and encourage you to read our Chief Executive Officer’s communication and also that from Dr Megan Clark AC, who chairs our Human Resources and Remuneration Committee.

While these changes are among the most significant for our company in the last 20 years, the Board and management team are unified in our optimism in the outlook for both CSL and Seqirus. We remain confident we have the right settings to ensure we deliver sustainable growth for our shareholders and life-changing treatments for our patients.

Governance and board renewal

Part of my role is to ensure the CSL Board is regularly renewed and this year we were pleased to welcome two more new directors.

The past year has been significant to say the least with a great deal of uncertainty in the external environment. Our CEO Paul McKenzie is settling into the second year of his tenure and along with his leadership team is working with the Board of Directors to address some shortcomings in the way our business currently operates and in charting a path for continuing growth.

CSL is a truly global company, and we have the flexibility and resilience to cope with shifting external trends. We also have the financial strength to make decisions now that will enhance shareholder value in the future. Your Directors and management team are focused on what we can control and, despite the complexity, the company has delivered strong financial results. This is due to the great work of our staff who work across 100 different countries.

Focused strategy

While CSL has a strong track record of sustainable, profitable growth, our operating environment has become increasingly complex and competitive. A company of our size must and does constantly evolve its strategy to deal with such changing times. We must also recognise that not all our investments have performed as we had anticipated. The detail in this report shows our strategic ambition of delivering enduring patient impact in areas of high unmet medical need. This underpins value creation for shareholders into the future. It’s what we’ve always done, but how we deliver on that ambition needs adjustment – our organisation needs to return to a more productive one.

We remain focused on five core therapeutic areas – but particularly in areas where CSL is uniquely positioned to outperform our competitors.

In order to improve clinical and commercial execution, CSL has embarked on a series of strategic initiatives to help reduce cost and complexity. Although this is painful and has a significant cost impact in the coming financial year, these measures will drive further growth through transforming our approach to R&D, our portfolio and re-establishing the organisation with a leaner, more agile design.

We must accelerate initiatives across a smaller number of sites and with fewer layers of management. We recognise that we must embark on these changes whilst preserving our underlying performance for you, our shareholders, next financial year and in the years to come.

One of the key initiatives is the proposal to demerge CSL Seqirus to shareholders, as a substantial ASX-listed entity. There is a clear benefit for both entities in doing this, providing autonomy and allowing each of them to pursue separate growth strategies and focus on their core capabilities. CSL can be proud of the value it has created for shareholders with a decade long commitment to Seqirus but the time is right to free them to chart a successful, independent future. This also will assist us streamlining how our core CSL organisation looks and works.

Dr Brian Daniels is seeking election as a director. He has been a director since December 2024 and has more than 30 years’ experience in clinical development, commercialisation and biotech investing. Dr Daniels led development and medical affairs at Bristol-Myers Squibb and served as director of Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk until 2021.

In June we announced that Cameron Price would join the board as a Non-executive Director effective 1 October. Cameron is a highly respected executive with extensive experience in the risk and legal fields. He has more than 35 years’ experience and from 2014 he was the General Counsel & Chief Risk Officer at the Future Fund, Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, which invests more than $300 billion globally.

These new directors bring invaluable skills and expertise to your Board.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

Engagement

The Board of Directors has a strong focus on engaging with a broad range of stakeholders both within CSL and externally. To support engagement with these diverse parties the Board always takes time to visit different locations throughout CSL’s global network. In September 2024 the Board visited CSL’s European operations, including manufacturing plants and research and development facilities in Liverpool (UK), Bern (Switzerland) and Marburg (Germany).

In June 2025 the Board held its meeting in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where it met with key external stakeholders including health economists, supply chain partners and researchers.

We also celebrated the 25th anniversary of our manufacturing facility in Bern. This event underlined how integral CSL’s acquisition of ZLB in 2000 was to our growth and how important the company’s ongoing contribution is to the Swiss economy.

I and some of my colleagues spend time each year meeting with our shareholders. These meetings allow us to listen to feedback from our investors, which we value greatly. One topic we know is top of mind for our shareholders is remuneration. Our investors sent a message at the Annual General Meeting in October – and we continue to listen.

You can find the details on remuneration on page 61 of this report.

We will continue to listen and respond to feedback in relation to our remuneration approach as well as any other issues important to our shareholders. Your Board is confident in the outlook for CSL and for our ability to deliver enduring patient impact in areas of high unmet medical need. Achieving this will allow us to provide sustainable, profitable growth for our shareholders. Once again, on behalf of the Board, I’d like to extend my thanks for your support.

CSL

Message from the CEO

Dear Shareholders,

I am very pleased to share our annual report for financial year 2025. It has been a dynamic year in which CSL produced a solid result, with strong demand for our market-leading therapies leading to sales growth across CSL Behring’s immunoglobulin (Ig) portfolio and the launch of an exciting new product Andembry which was approved in US, Japan and EU.

After many years of significant growth, it is important we stay committed to a winning formula that can deliver for years to come. I believe a simple and focused CSL is best for patients, our people and our shareholders and we have outlined plans to evolve our strategy to re-focus on what makes us unique:

CSL Vifor grew sales, underpinned by our nephrology products and new country launches. Whilst CSL Seqirus was negatively impacted by low influenza immunisation rates, particularly in the United States, this was partially offset by strong demand for avian influenza vaccine for pandemic protection.

Throughout this report, you will find detailed information regarding the financial and operating highlights of CSL throughout the financial year. I will also add a few personal reflections of my own.

Patients : who need durable, effective treatments for, and protection from, serious diseases.

Diseases : where we have a fundamental advantage in understanding the disease and science.

Refocused strategy

Medicines : with a high degree of specialist expertise or manufacturing differentiation.

Having been Chief Executive Officer for two years, I’ve had time to work with my management team to laser focus our priorities and develop our ambition to deliver enduring patient impact in areas of high unmet medical need and to provide durable returns to our shareholders.

My Priorities

To achieve this, I’ve laid out three key priorities for the 2026 financial year and I’m pleased to report we are making good progress on them all. The first priority is to drive growth through the evolution of our portfolio development and commercialisation process. We will build an optimal portfolio of new therapies in our pipeline through an integrated approach.

CSL has a strong track record of sustainable, profitable growth. However, our operating environment has grown increasingly complex with a dynamic geopolitical backdrop and competitive pressures. We need to accelerate our innovation with our current commercial and clinical portfolio to ensure we’re successful through the next decade and our structure is fit for purpose.

This will include closer collaboration between our R&D, business development and commercialisation teams. We will focus on areas where we are uniquely positioned to outperform our competitors and decide where we support our internal capabilities and where we seek to complete our portfolio through external partnerships. We can’t do everything on our own, in some areas we’re going to need partners.

This will require changes in how we conduct R&D as we simplify our operating model, reduce duplication, improve efficiencies and consolidate our footprint around key global biotech hubs.

We also announced plans to combine the commercial and medical functions of the Behring and Vifor businesses. We will continue to develop and deliver initiatives in our existing businesses like Ig and albumin yield enhancements and launch new products like Hemgenix, Andembry and Filspari. We will also continue to defend and grow Ig and iron volumes and CSL Seqirus will continue to expand geographic and customers segments in influenza.

During the year there was no better example of how our pipeline can yield success than the launch of Andembry (garadacimab). In June this new treatment to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) was approved for sale in the United States, following regulatory approvals in Australia, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, Switzerland and United Arab Emirates.

It is the first and only treatment targeting factor XIIa for prophylactic use to protect against attacks of HAE in adult and paediatric patients. HAE occurs in about 1 in 50,000 people and causes severe swelling which can be life threatening.

I’m so proud that Andembry is the first monoclonal antibody discovered and developed entirely by CSL’s scientists, from its earliest discovery to finished product. Its ingenuity and administration method offers people living with HAE long-term control over their disease.

The second priority is to create value through operational excellence. We have been reshaping our operating model to focus on productivity and efficiency and in May I announced Mary Oates as our Chief Operating Officer and a member of our Global Leadership Group. Mary has deep industry experience and previously held roles at Sanofi and Pfizer.

Mary will oversee a new Enterprise Operations organisation, which brings together manufacturing, quality, supply chain, technical operations and network strategy. Technical Operations will feature integrated teams organised by product or technology platform which will improve delivery speed, ownership, technical effectiveness and efficacy.

6

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

The Enterprise Operations organisation will oversee initiatives to improve processes across manufacturing, technology, procurement and shared services and assist us in our goals to consistently improve the Behring margin and increase plasma volumes at a lower cost per litre.

Our purpose and our people

My final priority is to enable our people to deliver this exciting new future. We will continue to invest in our leaders to build skills, enhance engagement and increase productivity. This will help embed a culture of continuous learning and personal growth to ensure that our staff feel valued, included and engaged in our mission to deliver enduring patient impact.

Outlook

Over the longer term, like Brian and the Board, I believe your company is in a strong position to deliver on our mission for patients in need, our partners and our shareholders. Our therapies continue to be valued by patients and healthcare systems around the world.

CSL Behring will continue to focus on improving gross margins, aided by the completion during the year of the RIKA roll-out across our plasma centres.

While the market conditions for CSL Seqirus remain challenging, influenza will continue to impact the public health systems. The ability of a newly separated Seqirus business to pursue its own growth strategy with a dedicated management team and a differentiated strategy ensures it will be well placed to grow market share.

At CSL Vifor, the iron market continues to evolve, but we expect to maintain a leadership position and build on the momentum in our nephrology business. I look forward to updating you next year on the progress we make during the 2026 financial year. In the meantime, please take the time to review the wealth of information in this report. As ever, thank you for your support of CSL.

Optimised launch excellence to outperform competition.

ANDEMBRY[®]

  • Inhibits the top of the HAE cascade by targeting factor XIIa and provides sustained protection from attacks.

==> picture [249 x 114] intentionally omitted <==

During the period CSL Seqirus was recognised for its global leadership in pre-pandemic preparedness with the award of the vast majority of contracts for H5 avian flu.

ANDEMBRY[®]

Approved in the US, European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), Japan, Switzerland, Australia and the United Arab Emirates. The approval of ANDEMBRY[®] expands CSL’s HAE franchise and underscores the company’s legacy of delivering transformational innovations to the HAE community for over four decades.

HEMGENIX[®]

The first, one-time gene therapy treatment for adults with haemophilia B that offers long-term bleed protection, potentially eliminating the need for routine factor IX prophylaxis.

HEMGENIX[®] was initially approved for use in the EU, UK, Canada, Switzerland and Australia and in FY2025, it was approved in Korea, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.

FILSPARI[®]

In April 2025, the European Commission (EC) approved the conversion of the conditional marketing approval (CMA) for FILSPARI[®] into a standard marketing authorisation for the treatment of adults with primary IgAN with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥0.75 g/g). The EC’s decision is based on a comprehensive clinical data set, including positive confirmatory results from the pivotal Phase III PROTECT study that demonstrated FILSPARI[®] significantly slowed kidney function decline over two years compared to irbesartan. The EC’s decision marks a significant milestone in providing a non-immunosuppressive treatment option for patients with IgAN.

  • Once-monthly dosing reduced HAE attacks by a median of more than 99% and a least squares mean of 89.2%, compared to placebo.

ANDEMBRY[®] (garadacimab), the only treatment targeting factor XIIa for prophylactic use to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and paediatric patients aged 12 years and older. By targeting factor XIIa, a plasma protein that plays a key role in attacks of swelling in people with HAE, ANDEMBRY[®] inhibits the top of the HAE cascade to prevent HAE attacks. ANDEMBRY[®] , the only treatment to offer once-monthly dosing from the start for all patients, is a subcutaneous self-injection delivered in 15 seconds or less via an autoinjector with a citrate-free formula.

“ANDEMBRY[®] , the first monoclonal antibody discovered and developed entirely by CSL, offers people living with this life-threatening condition long-term control over their disease along with a convenient administration method. ANDEMBRY[®] underscores our longstanding and enduring commitment to better the lives of the patients we serve, including those suffering with HAE. I’d like to thank all the physicians, patients and my colleagues who contributed to this exciting milestone for HAE patients and CSL.”

Bill Mezzanotte, MD, Executive Vice President, Head of R&D, CSL.

HAE is a rare, chronic, and potentially life-threatening genetic disorder characterised by recurrent and unpredictable attacks of angioedema. Attacks of HAE are often painful and can affect multiple sites of the body, including the abdomen, larynx, face and extremities. HAE occurs in about 1 in 50,000 people of any ethnic group.

CSL’s Sustainability Strategy

Advancing CSL’s Sustainability Strategy

In FY2025, CSL continued to deliver on its sustainability strategy, first launched in 2021, with a focus on two key pillars: Healthier Environment and Healthier Communities. Guided by CSL’s purpose and informed by the latest materiality assessment, CSL has made steady progress toward its long-term goals.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES

  • CSL continues its longstanding partnership with the World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH), donating product specifically manufactured to treat patients with bleeding disorders globally.

  • In support of reaching more communities and patients through discounted products, CSL set a new aspirational commitment to treat up to 450,000 people with anaemia in at least three low- and middle-income countries with CSL Vifor’s Ferinject[®] by FY2030.

  • Continued investment in donor safety and wellbeing through CSL’s Donor experience initiatives, as outlined on pages 31–33.

HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT

  • Advanced toward CSL’s FY2030 target of a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from a FY2021 base year, supported by the launch of a Renewable-linked Power Purchasing Agreement covering all Australian sites.

  • 37% of global electricity now sourced from renewables, contributing to approximately 14% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from a FY2021 baseline.

Despite a dynamic regulatory landscape, CSL remains committed to its sustainability ambitions. Some adjustments to the activities undertaken reflect the resilience of CSL’s strategy and its alignment with long-term business success and shared value creation.

In addition to CSL’s strategic focus areas, a detailed sustainability materiality assessment is conducted every two years, to enable topics that matter most to CSL’s key stakeholders to be identified and reported. CSL’s most recent sustainability materiality assessment was undertaken in FY2024 following the GRI 3: Material Topics 2021 (GRI 3) standard. The prioritised results of this assessment and methodology, which received limited assurance in FY2024 by Deloitte, can be found on CSL.com.

CSL’s Businesses and Outlook

US$ 11,158 m CSL Behring revenue

CSL Behring exists to meet the needs of patients with rare and serious diseases, and those suffering from trauma-related bleeding. Plasma-derived therapies (PDTs) form the core of the portfolio. Patients are the core focus.

CSL Behring consists of three vertically integrated components that span the journey from donor to patient. In plasma collection the focus is on three areas; enhancing collection efficiency, reducing the unit acquisition cost and providing a world-class experience for donors and communities.

CSL Behring’s manufacturing capability is focused on:

  • fractionating and transforming plasma into a portfolio of innovative PDTs, and

  • delivering supply of CSL’s recombinant medicines.

CSL Behring’s commercial and medical teams around the world are engaged with healthcare providers, payers and key stakeholders, working to meet patient needs and to deliver successful launches of CSL’s life-saving therapies. This helps provide access to more people with rare and serious diseases.

One of CSL Behring’s key priorities is sourcing sufficient and sustainable volumes of plasma to meet the growing need for CSL’s medicines. PDTs have a 9–12 month manufacturing cycle, which is more complex than other pharmaceutical products. These products are vital for patients in need, and can transform their lives.

CSL Behring commits to reducing the cost per litre of plasma. The aim to increase yield for immunoglobulins (Ig) and albumin through data analytics, smarter plasma allocation and implementing an operational excellence program.

In plasma collection, the Rika collection device and individualised nomogram, iNomi[™] , enables CSL to collect the optimal amount of plasma from donors. These avenues to yield improvement through technology and innovation are critical to CSL’s ability to increase the supply of therapies to patients.

There is significant opportunity for continued global immunoglobulin (lg) growth as the market expands. Within this growing market, PRIVIGEN[®] and HIZENTRA[®] are expected to gain share. CSL Behring plays a leading role in Ig and will continue to identify expansion opportunities.

CSL expects the global haemophilia B market to grow in coming years due to the steady prevalence of the disease and the launch of novel treatments, including gene therapies. As this market grows, CSL Behring will look to expand its portfolio.

The hereditary angioedema (HAE) market may also grow due to improved diagnosis rates and new prophylaxis therapies. ANDEMBRY[®] (garadacimab), CSL’s next generation HAE therapy, is now approved in US, European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), Japan, Switzerland, Australia and the United Arab Emirates. It is available in US, Japan, Germany and Greece.

CSL Behring has built on its leadership position and continues to innovate across rare and serious diseases.

US$ 2,166 m CSL Seqirus revenue

The FY2025 financial year was dynamic for the vaccine market and CSL Seqirus generated positive growth. Over the short term, two current trends will likely continue. First, the exciting acceleration of new vaccine technologies. CSL Seqirus is well positioned with its technology platforms (cell-based, adjuvants, and sa-mRNA). The second trend is reduced rates of immunisation following the pandemic, particularly in the United States. However, the European vaccination market is stabilising.

Against this backdrop, CSL Seqirus maintained commercial discipline in a competitive market. The business expects to continue to drive growth through life cycle management, which will allow CSL to deliver ongoing value to public health systems.

Seasonal influenza remains one of the most consequential vaccine preventable diseases due to its significant morbidity and mortality, with unmet need across all populations, and with particular risk to the very young, due to immature immune systems and in older adults where immune systems start to wane over time.

CSL Seqirus’ growth continues to be underpinned by its differentiated products – FLUAD[®] and FLUCELVAX[®] designed to help address these unmet needs. FLUAD[®] received preferential recommendation in Germany for people aged over 60 years.

Additionally, CSL is advancing key development programs, including aTIVc with the goal of leading important innovation to further address the unmet need within the influenza vaccine space. CSL is also keen to bring the anticipated benefits of sa-mRNA COVID vaccine to market. During FY2025, KOSTAIVE[®] , a self-amplifying mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, for individuals 18 years and older, received regulatory approval from the European Commission and was launched by CSL’s partner in Japan.

The CSL Seqirus strategy focuses on four key pillars:

  1. Continue to grow the influenza franchise, further evolving its portfolio to innovative differentiated products that address unmet public health needs.

  2. Continue to build on influenza pandemic and pre-pandemic leadership. Pandemic preparedness is a critical public health imperative and an important part of the CSL Seqirus business as it leverages core capabilities and unique partnerships with governments and other key stakeholders.

Today, CSL has more than 30 agreements with governments around the world where it is uniquely positioned to respond to an influenza pandemic. With CSL Seqirus’ ongoing investments to continually enhance manufacturing capabilities and network, development of CSL Seqirus’ sa-mRNA platform, and the strong collaborations with governmental partners, CSL Seqirus is well positioned to respond to the public health need in the event of a pandemic.

  1. Broaden global portfolio beyond influenza. CSL is excited about its self-amplifying mRNA technology that CSL hopes will lead to the next generation COVID-19 vaccine.

  2. Continue to invest in manufacturing capabilities, platforms and partnerships to keep pace with the growing demand for cell-based vaccines.

Looking ahead, CSL Seqirus’ efforts are focused on finalising clinical work and regulatory submissions in major markets around the world, enabling commercial launches over the next one to three years. Over the longer timeframe, CSL’s strategy of differentiation and continuous innovation aims to protect ever-growing communities around the world and clearly establish CSL’s leadership within the markets it serves.

CSL’s Businesses and Outlook

US$ 2,234 m CSL Vifor revenue

Fiscal year 2025 represented a pivotal chapter for CSL Vifor, as CSL has adapted to an evolving competitive landscape and prepared for more than 30 planned product launches across the iron and nephrology portfolios. These launches are designed to significantly broaden CSL Vifor’s global impact and serve as key drivers of future growth and long-term success.

CSL Vifor’s commercial portfolio has remained focused on addressing substantial unmet medical needs, supporting patients worldwide who are living with chronic and rare conditions in iron deficiency and nephrology.

In the iron portfolio, CSL Vifor has successfully and effectively navigated a dynamic and increasingly competitive iron market landscape, surpassing expectations through sustained volume growth of its leading intravenous (IV) iron therapy, FERINJECT[®] . Continued strong performance has been underpinned by strategic and operational initiatives, including agile tendering approaches, a robust launch momentum in new geographies, the inclusion of the pediatric indication in the Chinese National Reimbursement Drug List, meaningful product label

enhancements and driving additional value for the CSL Vifor and CSL Behring offerings from Patient Blood Management.

Despite these advances, the IV iron market remains under-developed with a limited number of eligible patients receiving the optimal iron replacement therapy. CSL Vifor remains committed to strengthening its leadership and competitive advantage in the iron therapy market and further expanding the market to address the significant unmet medical need.

In nephrology, CSL Vifor has made notable progress in expanding its presence across the renal disease spectrum. The successful launches of FILSPARI[®] , TAVNEOS[®] and KAPRUVIA[®] have significantly enhanced CSL’s portfolio in this therapeutic area. CSL’s efforts reflect a comprehensive approach to chronic kidney disease (CKD), offering solutions that span from kidney damage prevention to treatment of complications and dialysis, emphasising rare nephrology.

Most recently, England’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has recommended FILSPARI[®] as a treatment option for eligible IgA nephropathy patients, marking it as the first non-immunosuppressive dual-action therapy endorsed for this leading cause of kidney failure. These regulatory and health technology achievements underscore the strong clinical foundation and expanding access for FILSPARI[®] .

The renal disease market is expected to grow particularly in the rare nephrology segment. This growth is driven by demographic trends such as an aging population, the increasing prevalence of CKD risk factors – including diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease – and the rising demand for innovative treatment options.

Looking ahead, CSL continues to launch excellence in nephrology and to expand its position in the renal disease market. Strategic partnerships have remained a cornerstone of CSL Vifor’s growth model throughout fiscal year 2025. Internal and external collaborations continue to play a pivotal role in advancing CSL’s objectives. Joint efforts with CSL Behring have unlocked new opportunities, including the launch of FERINJECT[®] in Canada and the introduction of new vial sizes for ZEMAIRA[®] in the United States.

Similarly collaboration with CSL Seqirus in Europe has leveraged CSL’s global capabilities while adapting to local market needs delivering meaningful value to patients and contributing to enterprise-wide sustainable growth.

Immunoglobulins

Building on CSL’s long heritage of providing patients with immunoglobulin products, CSL continues to optimise the patient experience by developing more convenient and flexible ways to dose and administer immunoglobulin products. CSL’s focus is on serving patients with serious immunologic and neurologic diseases, including primary and secondary immunodeficiencies (PID/SID) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). CSL’s commitment to innovation is reflected in its exploration of inhaled immunoglobulin as a potential treatment for patients with bronchiectasis, complementing the established ZEMAIRA[®] /RESPREEZA[®] product for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency. Guided by the needs and experiences of patients, CSL is advancing an integrated, patient-centric approach that offers greater convenience and improved patient outcomes.

Transplant and Immunology

In Transplant and Immunology, CSL is leveraging its deep scientific expertise in immunomodulatory mechanisms to unlock synergies between alloimmune and autoimmune diseases. The goal is to bring life-changing solutions to patients in both transplant and immunology.

In Immunology, CSL continues to build on its 40-year legacy in hereditary angioedema (HAE) by expanding our portfolio of therapies to provide optimal treatments for the full range of HAE patients. This includes the recent regulatory approval of ANDEMBRY[®] , a first-in-class, home-grown recombinant monoclonal antibody, in major markets including the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland, Australia and the United Arab Emirates. Looking ahead, CSL is focused on advancing its leadership in immunology with innovative treatments for select autoimmune diseases of high unmet need, reinforcing its commitment to improving patient outcomes across chronic, complex immune-mediated conditions.

Despite advances in transplantation improving short-term survival, long-term survival remains suboptimal. Therefore, CSL is committed to developing therapies to address conditions that may lead to transplant failure.

In haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a life-threatening type of rejection and a leading cause of post-transplant morbidity and mortality.

There remains a significant unmet need for more effective, less toxic GvHD therapies and CSL is investigating ZEMAIRA[®] (Alpha-1 Antitrypsin, AAT) for the prevention and treatment of acute GvHD.

For solid organ transplant recipients, CSL is advancing therapies to address immune responses that may lead to transplant organ failure, ideally with less toxic treatment regimens and addressing ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) which can damage the allograft when blood flow is re-introduced.

Haematology

Improving and extending the lives of patients with rare bleeding disorders is the focus of CSL’s haematology therapeutic area. Significant progress has been achieved in recent years in the treatment of haemophilia A and B through the introduction of innovative recombinant coagulation factor medicines and HEMGENIX[®] (etranacogene dezaparvovec), an AAV5 (adeno-associated virus) gene therapy for the treatment of haemophilia B.

CSL’s efforts in haematology focus on addressing the high unmet needs of patients with sickle cell disease, with a dual focus on acute treatment of vaso-occlusive crises and effective prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of sickle cell related events. Additionally, CSL is advancing innovative therapies targeting benign haematological conditions, particularly in haemostasis and thrombosis where there is a high unmet need.

With a suite of therapies, CSL is also focused on patient blood management (PBM), aiming to reduce reliance on allogeneic blood product transfusions with the use of coagulation factor concentrates wherever available. CSL’s R&D studies include fibrinogen and prothrombin factor concentrates for use in surgical settings with high risk of major bleeding, as well as intravenous iron therapies to support pre- and post-operative anaemia management.

Cardiovascular and Renal

Extending the lives of patients affected by cardiovascular and renal diseases continues to be a strategic area of focus. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those with advanced stages (4–5), where the risk of CVD is significantly elevated.

To address this critical need, Clazakizumab, an anti-interleukin-6 (anti-IL-6) monoclonal antibody is currently in Phase III development for the prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD).

CSL’s R&D efforts also target acute cardiovascular conditions. CSL301, a first-in-class monoclonal antibody for the treatment of intermediate–high risk pulmonary embolism, is currently in Phase II development. CSL301 inhibits Alpha-2 antiplasmin ( 2AP), preserving plasmin activity and enhancing fibrinolysis to support the breakdown of blood clots.

Most rare renal diseases, such as IgA nephropathy and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), have limited treatment options and often lead to kidney failure at a younger age compared to most CKD patients. CSL is focused on developing novel therapies to preserve kidney function and delay or avoid dialysis. These efforts complement CSL’s existing therapies, TAVNEOS[®] and FILSPARI[®] , which support patients living with rare renal diseases.

Vaccines

Building on CSL’s foundation of success in developing and marketing a broad range of seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines, CSL continues to grow with expanded patient age indications and markets for FLUCELVAX[®] and FLUAD[®] . Additionally, CSL seeks to advance influenza prevention with the development of aTIVc (adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine), which combines the well described benefits of cell-based manufacturing, a higher antigen dose and our MF59[®] adjuvant. Developing new and advanced vaccines is a strategic priority for CSL with a focus on expanding beyond influenza with approval of the first marketing authorisations in Japan and Europe of its sa-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

As a trusted partner to more than 30 countries throughout the world, CSL Seqirus is the leader in preparedness for pandemic influenza, and strives to meet the evolving global pandemic preparedness needs of governments and health authorities, addressing emerging pandemic threats by building capabilities to provide protection beyond influenza.

Performance

Material Risks

CSL operates in a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment of science, technology and healthcare. There are many risks when operating in these environments and industries; as in research and development, intellectual property, regulatory compliance and clinical trial risks. However, CSL regularly reviews its group risk profile to identify and assess material business risks. This includes external and emerging risks that could affect CSL’s global operations.

Patient safety and product quality

CSL is also exposed more broadly to external risks such as the escalating trend of cyber threats and data privacy breaches or rapidly changing governmental requirements. Managing risks includes both mitigating disruptive risks and seizing opportunities. CSL’s Global Enterprise Risk Management Framework is designed to provide robust risk oversight that is fit-for-purpose for both the operation of CSL’s business and to support CSL’s strategy and deliver on CSL’s commitments to patients and public health.

Patient safety is paramount for CSL’s ongoing sustainability as a global biotechnology leader and CSL’s long-term strategy of efficiency and reliable supply.

When CSL talks about patient safety, CSL means both in the use and administration of registered products as well as in the conduct of CSL clinical trials. Occasionally, patients and trial participants experience adverse reactions to therapies. CSL’s manufacturing, product quality assurance and pharmacovigilance practices serve to provide high standards of safety and preserve CSL’s reputational integrity.

As part of CSL’s enterprise risk management process, the Board and management team have identified the key risk categories that are material to CSL. These material group risks are described below along with an explanation of CSL’s approach to managing them in the context of delivering on CSL’s Strategy. Key financial risks are set out in Note 11 (Financial Risk Management) to the Financial Statements.

CSL’s processes and procedures adhere to global good pharmacovigilance practice (GPV) and good clinical practice (GCP) standards to update product information to include relevant information to assist healthcare practitioners to appropriately prescribe CSL products. For clinical trials, CSL prioritises informing participants about their disease (if applicable) and the investigational therapy involved in the trial before obtaining consent. Participants are informed about and acknowledge awareness of the potential benefits and risks of participation in the trial through use of Informed Consent Forms approved by relevant regulators, institutional review boards and independent ethics committees. Comprehensive qualitative and quantitative safety signal detection activities are performed throughout the development programs and the lifecycles of CSL’s marketed products.

There are other risks for the CSL Behring, CSL Seqirus and CSL Vifor business, besides those detailed here or in the Financial Statements, or Promoting Safety and Wellbeing and Healthier Environment sections that could also adversely affect CSL’s business and operations. These risks are not covered in this report as they are not considered material to CSL’s overall operations and financial position.

In terms of meeting product quality requirements through CSL’s manufacturing and supply processes, CSL adopts and complies with a broad suite of internationally recognised standards through the CSL Quality Management System, including good manufacturing practice (GMP), and good distribution practice (GDP) that includes audits of third-party vendors and suppliers.

CSL is frequently inspected by independent regulatory authorities auditing compliance with these standards and CSL responds to any findings should they occur.

Product innovation and competition

CSL recognises that a key challenge to delivering on its innovation and sustainable growth strategies is the rapidly evolving competitive landscape for new technologies and disruptive therapies, such as gene and cell therapies. This material risk may alter the economics and characteristics of, and the demand for, CSL’s plasma and adjacent therapies, and may also affect the platforms and capabilities in plasma protein technology, recombinant protein technology, genetic medicine and vaccines technology.

CSL commits to seeking out new and unexplored avenues to address the most pressing medical challenges. CSL keeps investing in targeted and disruptive R&D innovation to better meet the needs of patients and public health. CSL strategically reviews its existing and future product pipeline against unmet need and market demand while continually evaluating the competitive landscape.

A key part of CSL’s strategy is scientific and therapeutic diversity, underpinned by a multi-platform approach. This includes robust lifecycle development and management of existing products and the development of novel therapies across CSL’s therapeutic areas. Aside from proprietary research, CSL actively pursues strategic opportunities through licensing, acquisitions and partnerships to remain competitive and drive sustainable growth.

CSL also acknowledges the inherent risks in clinical development of new therapeutic and disease areas. These include higher initial failure rates and operational complexities due to the potential for knowledge gaps in scientific, medical or the regulatory environment, and the uncertainty of therapeutic outcomes.

24

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

With respect to continued growth and innovation in the competitive global influenza vaccine market, CSL remains focused on maintaining its leadership through ongoing innovation in vaccine development and manufacturing. This includes advancing cell-based vaccine production and exploring the use of sa-mRNA technology for developing both influenza and COVID-19 vaccines. Embracing cutting-edge technologies is essential to securing long-term competitive advantages and delivering on CSL’s promise to protect public health.

Supply, capacity and operations

Having a resilient and reliable supply chain is critical to CSL achieving its strategic goals, particularly to achieving consistent, economical and efficient supply. Any disruption to supply has the potential to impact operations. CSL constantly monitors the demand for its products over a 10-year horizon as well as its capacity to acquire raw materials essential to the manufacture of CSL products.

Delivering a positive donor experience is important to maintaining CSL’s collection of plasma. CSL uses modern techniques and technologies in its plasma collection centres to facilitate a safe and efficient donation process. It updates its plasma collection centres to provide a comfortable and safe donor experience. External sources of plasma may be used as needed to supplement inventory at times of demand.

CSL endeavours to invest in manufacturing capacity ahead of projected demand so that it can supply the needs of patients. Its operations also accommodate investments in technology and process improvements to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. Such improvements encompass strategies to increase the yield of both immunoglobulin and cell-based influenza vaccines, along with boosting the throughput of its existing facilities.

CSL’s global network strategy continually evaluates short-, mid-, and long-term needs to inform decisions on capital and operational expenditures, including the use of expert third party providers to enable a resilient, reliable and sustainable supply chain.

CSL examines and prioritises its operational effectiveness efforts, capital plans, inventory targets, supply chain visibility, distribution and regulatory strategies to enhance the positions of its products from a business continuity and supply chain resilience standpoint.

Market access

In most countries, pricing and access of pharmaceutical products are determined by the country’s P&R (pricing & reimbursement) authorities, using strict appraisal processes based on clinical and economic evidence as well as patient outcomes.

Policy making may involve multiple stakeholder engagement, across governments, payers/insurers, patient advocacy groups, medical societies and non-governmental organisations.

CSL recognises that if it is not successful in maintaining sustainable and reliable supply of its therapies for its stakeholders, or does not adopt responsible pricing, it may adversely affect its ability to execute its strategy, deliver sustainable growth and uphold CSL’s corporate reputation. CSL further recognises that as a result of macroeconomic pressures and other factors, governments and payers/insurers around the world are putting more emphasis on affordable pricing and equitable patient access, particularly in the United States where tariffs on pharmaceutical imports and most-favoured-nation policies are being considered.

The Company works closely with stakeholders in all countries where it markets its products so that CSL therapies are accessible, and that its pricing remains competitive, responsible and reflects the value its therapies bring to patients and health systems.

People and culture

CSL is committed to supporting its

people and strengthening its inclusive, purpose-driven culture. It has a variety of programs and policies in place, including the Speak Up Policy and the Code of Responsible Business Practice (CRBP) to guide how the Company’s people interact with each other that meets the CSL Values and how CSL operates around the world. Acting with integrity, CSL builds trust, which protects and promotes CSL’s reputation.

CSL also recognises the need to have the right people with the right skills in the right roles. An inability to attract and hire the right talent may slow progress towards the Strategy.

As it focuses on attracting, developing and retaining top talent, CSL regularly reviews best practices, and benchmarks itself within the markets where it operates with the goal of offering total rewards and an employee experience that are both compelling and competitive with industry peers.

In addition, CSL understands that the workplace and its employees’ needs are constantly evolving, and the Company offers flexible work options and opportunities for them to stay connected. CSL constantly challenges itself to create an engaging and collaborative environment in which its people can continuously learn and grow professionally, deliver meaningful work and drive innovation.

Privacy and cybersecurity

The privacy and security of CSL’s data, including that of CSL’s patients, donors and employees, remains a top priority. The Company recognises the increasing risk of cyber threats and data privacy breaches targeting individuals and organisations. These threats continue to evolve, ranging from sophisticated phishing campaigns to attacks on critical infrastructure. Breaches of CSL’s information technology (IT) systems – whether caused by human error, malware, or espionage – could result in the unauthorised or inadvertent compromise of sensitive information. To address these risks, CSL maintains a proactive approach to cybersecurity, continuously monitoring the threat landscape and aligning CSL’s controls to industry practices. Security safeguards are embedded across CSL’s infrastructure, IT systems, and data environments, based on threat intelligence and risk-based prioritisation. CSL also invests in employee awareness and preparedness, performing ongoing training, crisis response simulations, and business continuity exercises to reduce cyber and privacy risks across the organisation.

Further details about CSL’s enterprise risk management framework and how it manages CSL’s business risks is available on CSL.com.

Healthier Communities

Enabling Healthier Communities is ingrained into CSL’s purpose. Meeting the needs of people, patients and communities is the reason CSL exists.

From developing new, innovative therapies for diseases to enabling greater access to life-saving vaccines, protecting the health and wellbeing of patients and communities around the world is at the centre of CSL’s purpose as a business. CSL has identified focus areas where it can have the most positive impact and help to create healthier communities, these include:

Access and affordability – advance equitable access CSL’s medicines and vaccines

Patient experience – elevate

patient experience in drug development by embedding patient insights and lived experience

Donor experience – create best-in-class donor experience in partnership with donors and communities, by continuously innovating the donation process, supporting donors’ holistic well-being, and investing in the health equity of donor communities.

Equitable access to CSL’s products

The people and science of CSL save lives. CSL develops and delivers innovative medicines that help people with serious and life-threatening conditions live full lives, and protects the health of communities around the world. Through continued supply and development of innovative products, CSL enables greater access to life-saving vaccines, iron therapies, plasma and protein-based therapies. CSL’s global network enables extending the reach of CSL’s therapies and vaccines to help advance equitable access across vulnerable populations, while sharing expertise to help build capabilities where they are needed. CSL is committed to working with governments, health insurance payers, and other stakeholders to design new payment and access solutions that reflect value and meet the needs of individual patients and healthcare systems. To enable patients to benefit from CSL’s therapies as quickly as possible, CSL works with key stakeholders supporting timely and appropriate market entry and access. CSL values ongoing dialogue with policy makers, advocacy groups, and other stakeholders to understand and respond to their needs and expectations.

Access and affordability commitments:

CSL is committed to advancing equitable access to its medicines and vaccines by designing access and affordability programs to serve vulnerable populations and expand strategic donations.

Through extension of CSL’s existing World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH) partnership, by FY2030, CSL aims to donate products that enable 2,100 people with bleeding disorders to access prophylaxis therapy across 25 low- and middle-income countries.

New commitment:

Further, in support of reaching more communities and patients, through discounted products, CSL announces a new aspirational commitment to treat up to 450,000 people with anaemia in at least three low- and middle-income countries with CSL Vifor’s Ferinject[®] by FY2030 .

Advancing access through partnerships

During FY2025, CSL continued its existing partnership with the World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH), which began in 2009, as part of CSL’s continued support of the Humanitarian Aid Program. CSL’s contributions to the WFH Humanitarian Aid program make life-changing improvements to people with no or limited access to care for bleeding disorders. The donation allows people with no or limited access to vital therapies for the bleeding disorder haemophilia A to receive the care they need in 48 developing countries.

CSL manufactures this product specifically for donation purposes and it has a shelf life of three years, which allows WFH to widely distribute this life-saving therapy as needed. CSL’s contribution is especially important in providing and increasing prophylaxis therapy for children and adults . This can help decrease the number of acute bleeding incidents and improve surgery outcomes.

CSL’s donation has helped treat over 12,500 acute bleeds, with more than 6,800 people with bleeding disorders (PWBD) treated and over 1,800 PWBD receiving ongoing prophylaxis therapy to prevent bleeds. Supporting 23 developing countries as prioritised by the World Health Organization (WHO) and with the capabilities and resources available to provide

continued prophylaxis treatments and major surgeries. Data is based on the calendar year 2024 and reflects CSL’s second full calendar year of the five-year commitment.

Providing access in the event of influenza pandemic

As a leader in public health protection, CSL Seqirus has now partnered with over 30 governments around the world. Most recently in April 2025, CSL Seqirus has been contracted by the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority’s (HERA), part of the European Commission, to support the region’s pandemic preparedness plans.

Under the terms of the agreement, HERA has reserved 27 million doses of pandemic influenza vaccine from CSL Seqirus’ Liverpool manufacturing site. In the event of an influenza pandemic 17 participating European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries can access these doses. The contract requires CSL to be prepared to rapidly manufacture and deliver these vaccine doses against the influenza strain identified by the WHO when an influenza pandemic is declared.

This agreement reinforces CSL’s global leadership and highlights the vital role of reservation mechanisms in proactive pandemic preparedness. The highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks continue to remind us of the threat posed by influenza across the globe.

Patient experience

CSL’s commitment is to elevate the Patient Experience in drug development by embedding patient insights and lived experience through patient-informed clinical development programs, and formalising plans to include representative populations.

CSL’s Patient Experience commitment for FY2030:

  • Informed Product development: all of CSL’s therapeutic product development programs are informed by patient insights.

  • Representative Clinical Trials: Phase III clinical trials incorporate participants that are representative of the target indicated population.

Designing clinical research for patients with patients

Listening to the input of patients, their caregivers and research participants as CSL designs clinical studies is a key focus. CSL enrols participants who reflect the disease’s epidemiology to enable the scientific validity of clinical studies. After all, who knows what study outcomes will benefit a patient’s life better than people living with the same condition.

Patient Advisory Boards and

Operational Protocol Walkthroughs .

CSL reviews clinical study visits and procedures with potential participants and researchers before finalising protocol design. The aim is to create a feasible and meaningful study. CSL also embeds patient touchpoints in developing medicines and vaccines through a patient engagement strategy specific to each product.

Remote Options for Clinical Study Participants .

Study participant and clinical researcher feedback on study design helps identify procedures that can be conducted in the home or a location better suited to the needs of each participant. During FY2025, over half of the studies started by CSL included remote options for participants.

Patient Representation Planning .

For medicines and vaccines in development, CSL employs various strategies to align clinical studies participants to the demographics of the population that lives with the disease. Some of these strategies include choosing the clinical sites, the patient advocacy/support groups CSL partners with and the communities CSL speak to about the clinical studies.

CSL’s work with patients, for patients, doesn’t stop with its clinical trial execution. CSL underpins these efforts with its steadfast support in industry and advocacy consortia working to advance patient-focused drug development and clinical study awareness and access. CSL holds leadership roles in PALADIN (Patient Advocacy Leaders and Drug Development Industry Network) and DTRA (Decentralised Trial Research Alliance). CSL’s team actively engages with groups like the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) and EUPATI (European Patient Academy on Therapeutic Innovation) to incorporate best practices in the patient-focused conduct of clinical studies.

It is done with the goal of delivering the best medicines to the patients who wait for improved options.

Patient blood management – addressing a global health issue

CSL has joined the Blood & Beyond initiative, an organisation that works to raise awareness about Patient Blood Management (PBM) and improve blood health globally. Under the Blood & Beyond banner, CSL and co-lead Bristol Myers Squibb will advocate for necessary changes through hosting events, running campaigns and publishing scientific materials, all geared towards achieving concrete PBM implementation in hospitals.

Anaemia and iron deficiency are among the most common, yet underdiagnosed and mostly untreated, blood conditions – especially in women, children, the elderly and in those living with chronic diseases. By recognising these as serious global health issues, the Blood & Beyond initiative directly supports CSL’s mission to advance the widespread adoption of PBM.

Blood & Beyond combines medical expertise, patient advocacy, health economics, hospital management and the pharmaceutical industry to increase the uptake of PBM practices and spread the word about PBM’s benefits. Blood & Beyond engages with policy and healthcare decision makers, governments and regional authorities to support adoption of PBM policies and laws that drive implementation.

Health authorities, including the WHO, endorse an approach called patient blood management (PBM) to preserve and safeguard a patient’s own blood while promoting patient safety and empowerment. PBM seeks to improve surgical and medical patient outcomes by optimally managing and preserving a patient’s own blood. It has three basic aims: (1) to diagnose and appropriately correct anaemia and iron deficiency, (2) to minimise blood loss and bleeding and (3) to support the patient while appropriate treatment is initiated instead of reverting to blood transfusion.

Clinical trials

Over the reporting period, ten clinical trials were added, and nine clinical trial results were posted, on an International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)-recognised public clinical trial registry. CSL’s transparency policy reflects international requirements and standards including requirements from ICMJE, WHO guidance and legislative requirements.

In FY2025, CSL had 59 clinical trials in operation across all therapeutic areas. Of those, twelve trials had a first patient enrolled in the trial during the year.

CSL conducts clinical trials ethically and adheres to the highest standards of integrity in the formulation, conduct and reporting of scientific research. This is based upon three primary elements: scientific integrity; patient safety; and investigator objectivity.

In addition, 10 clinical inspections were undertaken by regulatory agencies including the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the Philippines, the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) and the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA). The inspections included ten GCP inspections one Sponsor and eight Investigator Sites and one Contract Research Organisation (CRO) focusing on a CSL clinical study.

The CSL Clinical Quality Management System allows CSL to monitor and effectively oversee the quality of clinical trials and includes both regulatory authority inspections and internal audits for good clinical practice (GCP), good manufacturing practice (GMP), good laboratory practice (GLP), good clinical laboratory practice (GCLP) and good research laboratory practice (GRLP).

==> picture [336 x 373] intentionally omitted <==

All inspections confirmed adherence with GCP requirements, validated the data integrity of CSL clinical trials and had no impact on clinical trial operations.

Donor experience

As a leader in plasma collection, CSL has continued to innovate and improve the donor experience, raising the safety and effectiveness of the donation process, improving health equity in donor communities, and ensuring that the donor is acknowledged for their contribution that is essential to the supply of life-saving plasma-derived therapies for patients.

Improving donor experience through individualised nomograms

A notable initiative within the donor experience focus area is the addition of the Rika Plasma Donation System™ to CSL’s Donation Centres. The clinical trial to support the FDA approval of the Rika system, achieved in 2024 showed an average 10% increase in the volume of plasma collected per donation with an average collection time of less than 35 minutes.

It takes a village of generous donors

As the number of patients who need plasma-derived therapies increase, patients are thankful to plasma donors, especially because it takes a significant amount of donations from donors to make CSL’s plasma-derived therapies possible:

130

900

plasma donations are needed to treat one primary immunodeficiency patient for one year

are needed to treat one Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency patient for one year

1,000 are needed to treat one hereditary angioedema patient for one year

1,200

are needed to treat one severe haemophilia patient for one year

This initiative was followed by the introduction of Rika Plasma Donation System™’s Individualised Nomogram, iNomi™, which over the reporting period has been made available in each plasma centre within the U.S. and Puerto Rico. iNomi™ allows plasma donors to donate an amount of plasma based on weight, height and haematocrit, while maintaining the same collection time. Improvements in targeted nomogram collections through iNomi™ allow CSL to more safely target a donor’s collection volume. This enables CSL to collect more plasma from some donors, helping to meet the growing demand for plasma-derived therapies. Donor safety is maintained throughout the process and on average, some donors may give less than they did previously.

TIM’S STORY

Tim, a father of four and an avid outdoor adventurer, lives fully while managing haemophilia A, a rare bleeding disorder.

From mountain biking to mentoring young athletes, Tim has learned to deftly balance treatment, family, and adventure. His story proves that rare conditions can’t limit a life well-lived.

Donor experience and commitment

CSL’s ambition is to create a positive donor experience in partnership with donors and communities, by continuously innovating the donation process, supporting donors’ holistic well- being, and investing in the health equity of donor communities.

CSL’s donor experience commitment for FY2030 is to initiate new programs to promote health awareness resources, ensuring that at least 30% of donors obtain access.

CSL continues to explore efforts to help promote health awareness among donors, and also awareness of plasma donation among individuals who currently do not donate plasma. As part of its on-going efforts to provide a more positive donor experience, CSL will be launching a Voice of the Donor survey in July. Results of the survey will be reviewed and improvements, where appropriate, will be made at each individual donation centre to enhance donor experience.

Supporting local CSL Plasma donation centre communities

Not only does each CSL Plasma donation centre collect plasma as the foundation of life-saving and life-enhancing therapies, each centre also contributes positively to local communities, supporting donors and benefitting the surrounding area.

One CSL Plasma donation centre contributes nearly US$6 million in employee payroll and average donor payments; most of which is spent locally in the communities where CSL operates, and provides approximately 50 jobs, which are mainly full time.

CSL Plasma also spends a significant amount of time giving back to local communities through fundraising, sponsorships, food drives, supporting local sports teams, volunteering, donating goods and money and much more.

Assessing donor health more effectively

CSL has been working to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into daily operations, and one of the recent initiatives from the company’s AI Accelerator Program has been designed to assist CSL Plasma. In May 2025, CSL rolled out the Plasma Medical Quick Search, an AI-based tool that enhances the donor suitability process to all US and Puerto Rico donation centres. The tool supports Medical Staff Associates (MSAs) as they determine donor eligibility during health assessments for new, returning or lapsed donors. This tool streamlines the assessment process and empowers MSAs to help deliver better outcomes to potential donors, while creating the opportunity for more positive interaction with donors.

Previously, staff had to navigate a document library to determine donor eligibility related to medical conditions, medications and other information provided during the health screening.

CSL Plasma donor profile and survey results

CSL is grateful to its plasma donors, who have shared with us that they donate plasma for a number of reasons. Some donors have been personally impacted by the generosity of plasma donations, through a loved one with a rare condition or who has needed plasma-derived products in an emergency. Other donors use the payment to supplement their income, to make ends meet, or to reach a goal. Each person has their own reasons for donating plasma and their donation makes a major difference for those who rely on plasma-derived therapies.

CSL Plasma is continuing to learn more about donors, who they are, what they do and why they donate plasma. CSL’s goal is to provide a positive donor experience for everyone who enters a CSL plasma centre.

Based on self-reported survey data* administered through the CSL Plasma mobile app for CSL’s US donors, (1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025), CSL Plasma donors provided details on their occupational status:

  • 52% described themselves as working full time.

  • 20% described themselves as unemployed, inclusive of full time parents, donors who are not looking for work or the unemployed.

  • 15% described themselves as part time.

  • 2% described themselves as students.

Products quality and safety

The development, manufacture and supply of high-quality and safe products is critical to CSL’s ability to continue to protect public health, save lives and improve the health and wellbeing of patients with rare and serious diseases. CSL’s independent quality function strives to maintain the highest standards using global quality standards and systems.

These are reflected in global policies and global and local procedures, as well as global electronic systems to support management of the quality processes.

In the reporting period, CSL’s quality systems, plasma collection and manufacturing operations were subject to a total of 403 regulatory agency inspections around the world. Of these, 27 good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulatory agency inspections took place at CSL manufacturing facilities and distribution centres, and 376 regulatory inspections at plasma collection centres. These independent inspections resulted in no critical findings that prevented release of commercial product and no suspensions or terminations of licenses to market any products in markets in which CSL is active. These results confirm that the quality systems established globally by CSL are effective and in line with regulatory agency expectations.

In the reporting period there were two product recalls. In August 2024, CSL Seqirus initiated a Class II recall for an in-licensed product, for which CSL Seqirus Pty Ltd is the Marketing Authorisation Holder in Australia. The recall was triggered by a complaint regarding a 100 mg tablet being found in a 50 mg blister pack. The affected product was not physically removed from the market and notifications were issued to distributors and customers. A thorough review and investigation was performed by the in-license partner, who manufactures and packages this product. The investigation determined that this was an isolated incident.

In October 2024, CSL Behring initiated a Class II recall* for Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin due to incorrect labelling on the vial and carton. No product was removed from the market. Corrective and preventive actions were implemented to prevent recurrence. This year, there were nine counterfeit products reported to and confirmed by CSL Behring. CSL Behring is implementing packaging security solutions that will make it more difficult for counterfeiters to replicate CSL’s products and will make identification of counterfeit products easier. In addition, CSL Behring is partnering with global health authorities to alert customers, healthcare representatives and patients on how to identify, handle and report suspected counterfeit products.

Healthier Environment

CSL views environmental stewardship as its responsibility and an opportunity to build healthier and more sustainable communities.

CSL is committed to conducting all its operations in a way that minimises negative impact on the environment, and aims to protect biodiversity and conserve natural resources.

CSL has an established Environment, Health, Safety (EHS) function and an EHS management system that enable CSL facilities to operate to industry and regulatory standards. In line with CSL’s commitment to promoting environmental protection, there were no significant environmental breaches[1] at CSL sites during the reporting period. In FY2025, CSL continued to execute on its Healthier Environment initiatives with the inclusion of Biodiversity as a focus area.

CSL’s strategic sustainability focus areas include:

Energy – undertake initiatives that reduce emissions internally and across CSL’s supply chain

Waste – divert waste from landfill through reducing, reusing, recycling and composting

Water – identify, prioritise and implement water reduction initiatives

Biodiversity – mitigate the impact on nature from CSL direct operations & increase the resiliency of the supply chain via sustainable sourcing.

CSL’s targets approved by the SBTi

At the end of May 2025, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved CSL’s near-term sciencebased emissions reduction targets. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved CSL’s near-term science based emissions reduction targets. These are:

  - CSL commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by **42%** by FY 2030 (from a FY 2021 base year)[2] .

  - CSL commits that **73.1%** of CSL’s suppliers by emissions – covering Scope 3 categories: purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and downstream transportation and distribution – will have science-based targets by FY 2030.
  1. A significant environmental breach is defined as a non-compliance with environmental legislation in the jurisdiction in which the event occurs, that has an impact rating of major or critical for environmental or regulatory dimensions as per CSL’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework

  2. In 2022, CSL announced its initial target to reduce emissions associated with its own operations by 40%. This target has since been updated to 42% to align with the SBTi’s reporting period for calendar years. CSL’s Scope 3-related target, approved by the SBTi (as outlined above), is part of CSL’s broader intention to engage suppliers who account for 67% of all CSL’s total Scope 3 emissions. CSL aims for these suppliers to have Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction targets aligned* with the SBTi. This broader intention applies to suppliers across all Scope 3 categories. The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.

  3. Either the supplier has SBTi-validated targets, or CSL has conducted due diligence to confirm that the supplier’s targets meet SBTi criteria.

Progress on CSL’s emissions targets

In achieving CSL’s emission reduction targets, the Company does not anticipate seeing a linear reduction in the early years, especially in Scope 1 emissions, which are more difficult to reduce. Compared to FY2024, there was no significant movement in Scope 1 emissions in FY2025. CSL continues to execute its roadmap of deploying energy efficiency measures and reduction projects needed to meet its FY2030 commitment, while maintaining optimal operational capability to meet the levels of production needed to manufacture its products. In FY2025 the results and outcomes of the extensive projects and initiatives across the CSL network had begun to be realised, CSL’s Scope 2 emissions have decreased by approximately 29%, since FY2024. This was largely driven by CSL’s Australian sites’ move to renewable electricity from 1 January 2025 as part of its Renewable-Linked Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with AGL.

CSL has continued engaging with its suppliers that contribute to CSL’s Scope 3 emissions. To date, CSL has actively engaged with 71.3% of suppliers by emissions to set SBTi aligned targets and currently 54.2% of CSL’s suppliers by emissions[^] have self-reported to have Scope 1 and 2 SBTi aligned targets.

Biodiversity and minimising CSL’s impact on nature

In delivering on CSL’s promise to preserve a Healthier Environment, CSL recognises that responsible management and the efficient use of natural resources is critical to promoting biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.

The Company is working towards understanding its potential local biodiversity impacts and mitigation strategies, and has undertaken high-level assessments of the locations of its manufacturing facilities in relation to proximity to biodiversity sensitive areas. This assessment showed that none of CSL’s manufacturing facilities is located in or near biodiversity sensitive areas.

CSL has focused actions relating to biodiversity and has taken steps during FY2025 to include biodiversity as part of CSL’s strategic focus.

CSL has developed the following commitments for biodiversity. By FY2030, CSL aims to:

  • address any significant biodiversity impacts at manufacturing sites, resulting from biodiversity impact assessments completed; and

  • source 100% of all paper and fibreboard for product packaging from certified sustainable forestry.

Water, waste and resource management

Water, waste and recycling trends

There was no significant movement in CSL’s water consumption during the FY2025 period, compared to last year. This was largely driven by a decrease at Kankakee, US, and offset by increases at new facilities within the Broadmeadows, Australia site, and by increased production and operations at CSL’s other manufacturing facilities. Reducing water use as part of the production processes remains a challenge that CSL is looking at with renewed focus.

Compared to last year, there was no significant movement in total waste generated and the proportion of waste recycled by CSL in the FY2025 period.

> 90 %

Divert more than 90% of manufacturing waste from landfill, i.e., ‘Zero Waste’ at all manufacturing sites

0 %

Achieve zero percent absolute growth in water use, from a FY2021 baseline at three priority manufacturing sites, Kankakee (US), Broadmeadows and Tullamarine (Australia), which are located in regions forecast to be water stressed by 2030

Reduce

Reduce percentage of waste to landfill year on year for its plasma collection centres

Minimise

Minimise percentage of waste incinerated (if site is already zero waste)

Climate change and resilience

CSL recognises that climate change can affect all aspects of businesses and communities. Climate change hazards can have a direct effect on human health and further stress healthcare infrastructure, including the network of global manufacturing facilities and warehouses used by CSL in the production of life-saving medicines and therapies.

Given the evolving sustainability and climate-related standards, including the introduction of the mandatory Australian Sustainability Reporting Standard (ASRS), CSL has been working on updating the Company’s climate-related risks and opportunities assessment and will share its results, as part of the FY2026 reporting period.

CSL’s last enterprise-wide climate risk and opportunity assessment was completed in 2022, using the latest IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (IPCC AR6) across CSL’s most critical infrastructure: manufacturing facilities and warehouses. The assessment looked at three scenarios and focused on a near-term time horizon of 2030, in line with CSL’s 2030 Strategy. This was extended in FY2024 to include CSL Vifor’s St Gallen site in Switzerland.

Any identified moderate or significant site-based physical risks are integrated into existing operational risk management practices in accordance with the Enterprise Risk Management Framework, so facilities can monitor and manage risks as applicable to their location and operations. Transitional risks are managed by CSL at an enterprise level, as these risks generally span the network of facilities directly owned by CSL.

On an annual basis CSL assesses the impact of climate risk on its financial reporting. For the year ended 30 June 2025, CSL has assessed the impact of climate risk on its financial reporting. No material accounting impacts or changes to judgements or other required disclosures have resulted from the assessment. While the assessment did not have a material impact for the year ended 30 June 2025, this may change in future periods as CSL regularly updates its assessment of the impact of the lower carbon economy.

The impact assessment principally focuses on key judgement areas, being the valuation and useful lives of intangible and tangible assets, and the identification and valuation of provisions as well as contingent liabilities.

Biodegradability of CSL’s products

CSL’s commitment to a healthier world is embedded in its operational practices and policies, aimed at minimising environmental impact and reducing the risk of environmental harm. In line with this commitment, CSL Vifor conducted a study in FY2025 to assess the biodegradability of five of its products under aerobic aquatic conditions. This assessment covered only the products and did not consider their packaging. The study was carried out in collaboration with LAUS GmbH, a certified laboratory in Germany, following internationally recognised guidelines – OECD 301B and EU Method C.4-C.[1] Each product sample was combined with activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant[2] and monitored over a 28-day period to measure carbon dioxide (CO₂) evolution, an indicator of biodegradation[3] .

The results showed that four out of five CSL Vifor products tested are readily biodegradable.

Given that many CSL Behring products are derived from human plasma, a naturally occurring biological material, the risk of environmental persistence is inherently low. Nonetheless, CSL remains committed to a healthier environment and will continue to evaluate the biodegradability of additional products in its portfolio in the near future.

  1. Test Guideline describing the CO2 Evolution test method that permits the screening of chemicals for biodegradability.

  2. The plant primarily processes domestic water.

  3. The pass level for ready biodegradability is 60% within the 10-day window for pure substances respectively 60% after 28 days for mixtures based on ThCO2 production. As the test item is a mixture, the 10-day-window criterion does not apply.

Meeting the global demand for iron-based therapies

A new CSL Vifor manufacturing facility in St. Gallen, Switzerland, has a modular design that can be expanded – cube by cube – to meet future needs.

CSL Vifor a leader in iron-based therapies, recently opened Multicube, a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that will help meet the increasing global demand for iron-based therapies needed to treat iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia.

The new facility in St. Gallen, Switzerland increases CSL Vifor’s ability to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in its iron products – and the building has an innovative design. The facility can be expanded by adding additional ‘cubes’ when future capacity is needed. Multicube was also designed with sustainability in mind.

“The Multicube project is not only increasing the current active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production capacity for our iron products but also has a sustainability focus. With the newest technologies, we will be able to recover the heat created during our production with condensate collectors and reuse it to heat the whole manufacturing site, providing possibleenergy savings and emissions benefits.

Abdullah Karakoc, Team Leader Project Engineering.

Additionally, a photovoltaic system will enable the site to produce some of the electricity it needs, thereby reducing reliance on purchased electricity.

Ethics and transparency

While CSL’s Values serve as its directional compass, CSL’s Code of Responsible Business Practice (the Code) is a principle-based guide for CSL employees. CSL’s Code continues to foster a culture that supports and encourages high ethical standards, personal and corporate integrity and respect for others. All employees must undertake training on the Code every two years, which is available in 15 languages to cater for CSL’s global workforce. CSL expects its employees and third party partners to comply with the applicable local laws and regulations of the countries in which they operate, and to observe all of the requirements set out in the Code and in CSL’s Third Party Code of Conduct respectively. The Company has internal control systems to enable financial statements comply with the applicable local laws of the countries in which it operates and to prevent fraud and other improper conduct. CSL has an Anti-Fraud Policy which applies a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to acts of fraud such as deliberate deception or dishonesty to obtain an unfair, unauthorised or illegal advantage, whether financial or otherwise instances of fraud. CSL’s Code as well as Third Party Code of Conduct can be found on CSL.com.

Anti-bribery and anti-corruption

CSL has an Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy that prohibits CSL businesses and employees from directly or indirectly offering, paying, soliciting or accepting bribes or giving or receiving personal favours, financial or other rewards or inducements in exchange for making business decisions. This prohibition applies regardless of the value of the reward or inducement. CSL policy also prohibits facilitation payments. The Board, via the ARMC, periodically receives information if there are any material breaches of the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy as a way of maintaining oversight.

CSL operates in a diverse and complex marketplace and has a number of commercial arrangements with governments and related agencies across various geographies. Bribery and corruption are risks that could expose the organisation and employees to possible prosecution, fines and imprisonment.

Market practices are governed by company-specific policies and procedures. Internal compliance mechanisms and control systems are directly supported by CSL’s Global Ethics and Compliance team and subject to additional oversight by CSL’s Business Units Compliance Committees, regional and local committees, and CSL’s Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board.

Based on these controls, CSL considers its overall risk relating to corruption to be low, and is committed to complying with laws and regulations in the regions in which CSL operates and those that CSL seeks to enter.

CSL also has a Group Speak Up Policy to encourage anyone to raise concerns about potential misconduct, including in relation to bribery or corruption. CSL staff may raise any concerns internally. Additionally, anyone can make anonymous reports to the Speak Up Hotline, an independent and confidential reporting line available globally.

In addition, over the reporting period, an annual assessment of bribery and corruption risk was conducted by the Ethics & Compliance teams with the business. The assessment included asking a cross-section of employees in CSL’s commercial and manufacturing operations to complete a standardised questionnaire. The questionnaire is designed to assist with identifying practices or behaviours that could be in breach of CSL’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy. Results are provided to the Business Units’ Compliance Committees and regional/local compliance committees for review, and the committees may ask for actions to be taken which could include revising regional or local policies or procedures, delivering further training, conducting ongoing monitoring or for a more detailed assessment of the local commercial operation, including any third parties acting on behalf of CSL. The implementation of the committees’ review and actions are supported by the local, regional and global Ethics and Compliance teams.

Fair competition

In FY2025, there were no findings against CSL relating to a breach of any fair trading or competition laws. In May 2025, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority accepted CSL Vifor’s proposed commitments and concluded its investigation into alleged anti-competitive conduct of Vifor Pharma. CSL Vifor had offered the commitments without any admission of liability or any engagement in unlawful conduct contrary to UK competition law. CSL Vifor agreed to make a voluntary (ex-gratia) payment of £23 million to the National Health Service (NHS). This payment is not a penalty or fine and was offered without any admission of liability.

Political contributions

Over the reporting period, CSL contributed a total of:

  • US$2,500 in non-cash corporate political contributions in the US;

  • AU$19,100 to political organisations in Australia; and

  • EUR$7,735 to political organisations in Germany, solely for attendance at events including policy briefings, lunches, boardroom lunches and dinners.

Corporate governance

Throughout FY2025, CSL’s governance arrangements were consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th edition). This year CSL was unable to fully comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendation 1.5 due to new legal and contractual requirements introduced in the United States. Instead, CSL has provided a summary of its approach to inclusion and belonging in the FY2025 Corporate Governance Statement. CSL’s FY2025 Corporate Governance Statement has been approved by the Board and is available on CSL.com.

+ READ MORE AT CSL.COM/WE-ARE-CSL/ CORPORATE-GOVERNANCE

The Board continually reviews governance at CSL so that the governance framework remains appropriate in light of changing expectations and general developments in good corporate governance.

Risk management

CSL has adopted and follows a detailed and structured Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF) to identify, evaluate, monitor and manage risks. This ERMF sets out the risk management processes, internal compliance and monitoring requirements, governance processes and structures including roles and responsibilities for different levels of management, the matrix of risk impact and likelihood for assessing risk, the three lines of accountability for risk and risk management reporting requirements.

The ERMF has been established to provide reasonable assurance that:

  • any material exposure to risk can be identified and adequately monitored and managed; and

Tax transparency

While CSL’s roots are proudly Australian, CSL is a truly global company, with more than 90% of revenue derived outside Australia. CSL separately reports on its global tax footprint, as part of CSL’s tax transparency reporting.

CSL is subject to the different tax regimes that apply in each of the countries where it operates, including the OECD Country-by-Country reporting measures.

CSL’s approach to tax is underpinned by its Value of Integrity. This is consistent with CSL’s commitment to complying with all tax laws in the countries in which it operates. CSL has a low appetite for tax risk and does not engage in aggressive tax planning.

CSL supports efforts to improve tax transparency to support a fairer economy and provide confidence in the robustness of country tax regimes. CSL supports the work undertaken by the OECD in relation to Pillar One and Pillar Two requirements and the position that income earned in a country should be reflective of the economic activity undertaken in that country. CSL encourages governments to continue to work together to adopt a globally consistent approach to these requirements in order to balance the compliance complexity for companies operating across a number of territories.

Operating with transparency forms a core part of CSL’s tax management philosophy and as such CSL’s annual tax transparency reports can be found on CSL.com (Sustainability).

Data protection and cyber security

CSL collects and stores personal information about its employees and key stakeholders, including plasma donors, healthcare professionals, and patients. Unauthorised access to or misuse of this information poses a risk to CSL’s operations and its reputation as a leader in the biotherapies market.

Data protection

CSL’s cybersecurity program is a core component of its broader enterprise risk management strategy. Governance and oversight are provided by CSL’s Global Leadership Group (GLG) and Board of Directors (through the Audit and Risk Management Committee), who support the program so that cybersecurity risks are effectively managed and that CSL remains compliant with applicable laws and regulations across all regions in which CSL operates. CSL’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) provides quarterly updates to the Audit & Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, ensuring strategic alignment and top-level visibility into the evolving threat landscape.

CSL takes a risk-based approach to data protection, structuring its cybersecurity program around industry-recognised frameworks that promote resilience against a constantly evolving threat landscape. The program encompasses cybersecurity policies, standards, processes and practices embedded across CSL’s operations designed to detect, prevent, contain and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents promptly and effectively. The overarching goals are to minimise business disruption and safeguard the confidentiality of personal information. The program also includes ongoing monitoring, identification, assessment and management of cybersecurity risks, supported by clear communication and escalation protocols that keep the Global Leadership Group informed of emerging threats. Key components of CSL’s cybersecurity program include:

  • perimeter and system safeguards

  • incident response capabilities

  • awareness and training initiatives

  • threat intelligence integration

  • risk assessments and security testing

  • identity governance

  • vulnerability analysis and management.

  • significant strategic, emerging, financial, managerial and operating risk-related information is accurate, relevant, timely and reliable.

Further details of CSL’s risk management framework are contained in CSL’s Corporate Governance Statement. A description of CSL’s material risks and key risk management activities for each risk can be found in the ‘Material Risks’ section on page 24 of this report.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

CSL partners with third parties to evaluate the effectiveness of its cybersecurity program and extends its cybersecurity standards to applicable vendors and service providers. This includes assessing external partners against defined cybersecurity criteria to align with CSL’s security expectations. Over the past year, CSL has made strategic investments to strengthen threat management, enhance its defensive posture, and accelerate response to cybersecurity incidents. However, emerging threats – especially those amplified by Artificial Intelligence (AI) – are increasing the complexity and scale of cyber attacks. To counter these threats, CSL will continue investing in advanced defenses, including AI-enhanced threat detection and response, machine learning to disrupt adversarial tactics, and continuous updates to its cybersecurity protocols. Innovations such as self-healing networks, adaptive and contextual security measures, and predictive defenses will be critical to proactively managing evolving risks and addressing the dynamic nature of cyber threats.

Privacy

CSL has maintained a strong commitment to the responsible use of personal data entrusted to us by patients, donors, employees and other stakeholders. Key highlights and performance during the financial year include:

  • New policies and practices:

CSL maintains an enterprise-wide data privacy policy as well as standards and procedures that guide the collection, maintenance and use of personal data, and considers global legal and regulatory requirements. Updates to these policies have included guidelines for the use of personal data and artificial intelligence to support the enterprise-wide focus on innovation and the use of AI. CSL has improved its digital data privacy processes to enhance the privacy rights of individuals.

  • Data privacy issues addressed: Significant efforts were made this year to comply with new and changing data privacy regulations, such as those in Switzerland and

China. Ongoing monitoring and assurance seek to verify that the business follows data privacy requirements and CSL’s policies and meets the standards of existing data privacy laws.

  • Non-compliance or breaches:

CSL follows a robust Privacy Incident and Data Breach Response Procedure in dealing with possible data privacy incidents. Privacy incidents are reported to an enterprise-wide data privacy team for triage and assessment. Of the privacy incidents reported this year, four were substantiated as data privacy breaches that required reporting to data protection authorities or data subjects.

CSL’s dedication to data privacy is evident in the comprehensive measures taken to protect personal data and comply with regulatory standards.

The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the financial year were the research, development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of biopharmaceutical products and vaccines.

CSL is a leader in global biotechnology, and develops and delivers innovative medicines that save lives, protect public health and help people with life‑threatening medical conditions to live full lives.

CSL’s commercial and functional areas operate globally, with the Global Leadership Group responsible for the day‑to‑day management of the Group and delivery of CSL’s strategic objectives. More detail on CSL’s operations can be found in CSL (from page 2) and CSL’s Performance (from page 8).

2. Operating and financial review

Final dividends are typically determined in August and paid in October. Dividends determined but not yet paid are not recorded as a liability at the end of the period to which they relate.

7. Developments in operations in future years and expected results

On pages 10 to 18 of the OFR, CSL sets outs its business strategies and prospects for future financial years and refers to likely developments in its operations (and the expected results of those operations) in future financial years. Certain information is excluded from the OFR to the extent permitted by Australian law, on the basis that such information relates to impending developments or matters in the course of negotiation and disclosure would likely result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

8. Significant changes and subsequent events

Other than as disclosed in this Directors’ Report (which includes pages 2 to 89 of the OFR) and information as disclosed in Note 23 (Subsequent Events) of the Financial Statements, the directors are not aware of:

  • any significant changes in the consolidated entity’s state of affairs during FY2025 or to the Group’s principal activities during the year; or

  • any other matter or circumstance which has arisen since the end of FY2025 which has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

9. Environmental regulation and compliance

To meet industry and regulatory standards at its facilities, CSL uses an enterprise‑wide Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System. This system covers compliance with government regulations and commitments for continuous improvement of health and safety in the workplace and minimising the negative effects of operations on the environment.

CSL continues to mature its overall environmental sustainability program and embedding environmental considerations into work practices. Key environmental principles are driven by processes like the ‘EHS by Design’ program (and the operational identification of environmental aspects and impacts), in alignment with ISO 14001 principles, to further reduce CSL’s potential impact on the environment and local communities.

There were no significant environmental breaches at CSL operations during the reporting period. A significant environmental breach is defined as a non‑compliance with environmental legislation in the jurisdiction in which the event occurs, that has an impact rating of major or critical for environmental or regulatory dimensions as per CSL’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework.

CSL has met its reporting obligations under the Australian Government’s National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 and Victorian Government’s National Pollutant Inventory requirements in the Environment Protection Regulations 2021 (Vic).

10. Directors’ shareholdings and interests

The interests of the directors in the shares, options and performance rights of CSL are set out in the Remuneration Report – Tables 13 and 14 (page 86) for executive Key Management Personnel (KMP) and Tables 15 and 16 (pages 87 and 88) for non‑executive directors. The Group’s Securities Dealing Policy prohibits KMP from entering into transactions which limit exposure to risk in relation to securities granted under CSL’s equity incentive schemes. From time to time, the Company Secretary makes inquiries of KMP as to their compliance with this policy.

11. Performance rights and options

As at 30 June 2025, the number of unissued ordinary shares in CSL under options and under performance rights are set out in Note 6 (People Costs) and Note 17 (Detailed Information – People Costs) of the Financial Statements. Holders of options or performance rights do not have any right, by virtue of the options or performance rights, to participate in any share issue by CSL or any other body corporate or in any interest issued by any registered managed investment scheme.

The number of options and performance rights exercised during FY2025 and the exercise price paid to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in CSL is set out in Note 6 (People Costs) of the Financial Statements. Since the end of FY2025, no shares were issued under CSL’s Performance Rights Plan. Since the end of FY2025, there has been no change to the information contained in Note 17 (Detailed Information – People Costs) to the Financial Statements.

Since the end of FY2025, 5,860 Restricted Share Units and 5,106 Performance Share Units have been forfeited due to participant ceasing employment.

Since the end of the FY2025, there has been no change to the information contained in Note 17 (Detailed Information – People Costs) to the Financial Statements.

12. Indemnities and insurance

During the financial year, the insurance and indemnity arrangements discussed below were in place concerning directors and officers of the consolidated entity.

CSL has entered into a Director’s Deed with each director regarding access to Board papers, indemnity and insurance. Each deed provides:

  1. an ongoing indemnity to the relevant director against liability incurred by that director as an officer of CSL or a related body corporate. The indemnity is given to the extent permitted by law and to the extent and for the amount that the relevant director is not otherwise entitled to be, and is not actually, indemnified by another person or out of the assets of a corporation, where the liability is incurred in or arising out of the conduct of the business of that corporation or in the discharge of the duties of the director in relation to that corporation;

  2. that CSL will purchase and maintain an insurance policy that covers directors against liability as a director and officer of CSL. Coverage will be maintained for a minimum of seven years following the cessation of office for each director; and

  3. the relevant director with a right of access to Board papers in connection with any relevant proceedings.

In addition to the Director’s Deeds, Rule 95 of CSL’s Constitution requires CSL to indemnify each ‘officer’ of CSL and of each wholly owned subsidiary of CSL out of the assets of CSL ‘to the relevant extent’ against any liability incurred by the officer in or arising out of the conduct of the business of CSL or in the conduct of the business of such wholly owned subsidiary of CSL or in the discharge of the duties of the officer, unless incurred in circumstances which the Board resolves do not justify indemnification. Further details are set out in the Constitution, available on CSL.com.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

No payment has been made to indemnify a current or former director or officer during or since FY2025 under these indemnities.

CSL paid insurance premiums in respect of a contract insuring each individual director of CSL and each full‑time executive officer, director and secretary of CSL and its controlled entities, against certain liabilities and expenses (including liability for certain legal costs) arising as a result of work performed in their respective capacities, to the extent permitted by law. It is a condition of the insurance contract that no details of the premiums payable or the nature of the liabilities insured are disclosed.

In addition, CSL Behring, as the employing entity, indemnifies both the former and current CEO if they are subject to additional tax on their remuneration in any jurisdiction other than the US. Under this indemnity, CSL Behring agrees to indemnify the CEO for the net difference between US and foreign tax liabilities after taking into account any credits available to the CEO in the US. In the period 1 July 2024 to the date of this report, no payment has been made under these indemnities.

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) accompanies and forms part of this Directors’ Report (page 56). Deloitte and its related practices received or are due to receive amounts for the provision of non‑audit services to CSL and its subsidiaries in respect to the year ended 30 June 2025.

Note 19 (Auditor Remuneration) of the Financial Statements shows the fees that were paid or were payable for services provided by CSL’s auditor and by the auditor’s related practices for FY2025.

14. Rounding

The amounts contained in this Directors’ Report and in the Financial Report have been rounded to the nearest million dollar (where rounding is applicable) unless specifically stated otherwise under the relief available to the CSL under ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 (the Instrument). CSL is an entity to which the Instrument applies.

To the extent permitted by law, CSL has agreed to indemnify its auditors, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“Deloitte”), as part of the terms of its audit engagement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). No payment has been made to indemnify Deloitte during FY2025. No insurance premiums were paid for Deloitte during FY2025.

13. Auditor independence and non-audit services

The Group appointed Deloitte as its independent auditor effective from FY2024.

From time to time, CSL employs Deloitte on additional assignments to their statutory audit duties where Deloitte’s expertise and experience with CSL and/or the consolidated entity are important.

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the entity’s auditor, Deloitte, for non‑audit services provided during FY2025 are set out below. The directors, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit and Risk Management Committee, are satisfied that the provision of non‑audit services is compatible with, and did not compromise, the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for the following reasons:

  1. All non‑audit services have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Management Committee to confirm that they do not affect the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and

  2. None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence requirements as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision‑making capacity for CSL, acting as an advocate for CSL or jointly sharing risks or rewards.

CSL’s custom criteria, as defined throughout the CSL 2025 Annual Report and

Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that CSL’s Subject Matter Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Criteria for the relevant period.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with Australian Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3000 Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information (“ASAE 3000”), issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

Our Independence and Quality Management

We have complied with the independence and relevant ethical requirements which are founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour, including those contained in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) .

Our firm applies Australian Auditing Standard ASQM 1 Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Reports and Other Financial Information, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements , which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Responsibilities of CSL Limited

The Directors of CSL Limited are responsible:

a) for ensuring that the Subject Matter Information is prepared in accordance with the Criteria;

b) for confirming the measurement or evaluation of the underlying subject matter against the applicable criteria, including that all relevant matters are reflected in the Subject Matter Information;

58

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

==> picture [397 x 398] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

c) for designing, establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over its operations and financial reporting,
including, without limitation, systems designed to ensure achievement of its control objectives and its compliance with
applicable laws and regulations;
d) for the preparation of the Subject Matter Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
e) for selecting and applying measurement methodologies, and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances;
f) for selecting the Criteria and ensuring that the Criteria is appropriately described and/or referred to in the CSL 2025 Annual
Report and CSL 2025 Corporate Governance Statement;
g) to provide us with:
i. access to all information of which Directors of CSL are aware that is relevant for the purpose of this assurance
engagement;
ii. additional information that we may request from Directors of CSL for the purpose of this assurance engagement; and
iii. unrestricted access to persons within CSL from whom we determine it necessary to obtain evidence; and
h) for the electronic presentation of the Subject Matter Information and our limited assurance report on CSL’s website
Responsibilities of the Assurance Practitioner
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the preparation of CSL’s Subject Matter Information, in all material
respects, in accordance with the Criteria based on the procedures we have performed and evidence we have obtained. ASAE 3000 requires
that we plan and perform our procedures to obtain limited assurance about whether anything has come to our attention that causes us
to believe that CSL’s Subject Matter Information has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Criteria for the
reporting period 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025.
A limited assurance engagement in accordance on CSL’s Subject Matter Information involves identifying areas where a material
misstatement of the Subject Matter Information is likely to arise, performing procedures to address the areas identified and considering
the process used to prepare the Subject Matter Information. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a
reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and
the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for a reasonable
assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the
assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Accordingly, we do not express a
reasonable assurance opinion on whether the Subject Matter Information has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with
the Criteria.
Our procedures included:
• Inquiries with relevant key personnel to obtain an understanding of the process for collating and preparing the respective
Subject Matter Information;
• Undertaking walkthroughs of key systems and processes for collating, calculating and reporting the Subject Matter Information;
• Inspection of the supporting process documentation developed to support the collation, calculation and reporting process of
the Subject Matter Information and investigating further where required;
• Performing analytical review procedures on the Subject Matter Information and/or relevant supporting documentation;
• Selection on a sample basis item to test the Subject Matter Information and agree to relevant supporting documentation; and
• Review of the Selected Sustainability Metrics and Disclosures in the CSL 2025 Annual Report and CSL 2025 Corporate
Governance Statement, and reconciliation to underlying workings and information.
Other information

The Directors of CSL are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises other Sustainability information in the
CSL 2025 Annual Report and CSL 2025 Corporate Governance Statement but does not include the Subject Matter Information and our
assurance report thereon. Our limited assurance conclusion does not cover the other information, and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our assurance engagement on the Subject Matter Information, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Subject Matter Information
or our knowledge obtained in the assurance engagement, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing
to report in this regard.

Directors’ Report

Independent Limited Assurance Report

Inherent Limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement, together with the inherent limitations of any system of internal control there is an unavoidable risk that fraud, error, non-compliance with laws and regulations or misstatements in the Subject Matter Information may occur and not be detected. Emissions quantification is subject to inherent uncertainty because incomplete scientific knowledge has been used to determine emissions factors and the values needed to combine emissions due to different gases. We specifically note that CSL has used estimates or extrapolated underlying information to calculate certain amounts included within the Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas and energy information. Additionally, non-financial data may be subject to more inherent limitations than financial data, given both its nature and the methods used for determining, calculating and sampling or estimating such data.

Restricted use

The reporting criteria used for this engagement was designed for a specific purpose of reporting the Subject Matter Information presented in CSL 2025 Annual Report and the CSL 2025 Corporate Governance Statement, as a result, the Subject Matter Information may not be suitable for another purpose. This report has been prepared for use by the Directors of CSL for the purpose of providing assurance over Selected Sustainability Metrics and Disclosures presented in the CSL 2025 Annual Report and CSL 2025 Corporate Governance Statement. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report to any person other than the Directors of CSL or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

Matters relating to electronic presentation of information

It is our understanding that CSL may publish a copy of our report on their website. We do not accept responsibility for the electronic presentation of our report on the CSL website. The security and controls over information on the website is not evaluated or addressed by the independent assurance practitioner. The examination of the controls over the electronic presentation of this report on the CSL website is beyond the scope of this engagement.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

Remuneration Report

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present CSL’s Remuneration Report (Report) for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 (2025). This Report contains detailed information regarding the remuneration of CSL’s Key Management Personnel (KMP) for 2025 as well as information on CSL’s Executive Remuneration Framework.

Delivering Enduring Patient Impact

Throughout the Annual Report you can read about CSL’s operational and financial highlights for the year. CSL continues to bring people and science together to solve complex challenges and deliver enduring patient impact in areas of high unmet medical need.

This section of the Director’s Report focusses on CSL’s people. In a year with a great deal of uncertainty, CSL has shown flexibility and resilience and remained focused on attracting and keeping the right talent. A fair and transparent reward framework, aligned with shareholder interests, is a big part of this and is complemented by our focus on inclusion and belonging, equal pay for equal work and other people‑focused programs. Of course, our people programs must also be aligned with the interests of shareholders.

Response to the 2024 Remuneration Report First Strike

At our 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM) CSL’s shareholders sent us a message on remuneration, with a vote of 26.36% against adopting our 2024 Remuneration Report, resulting in a “first strike” under the Corporations Act. To fully understand the concerns of our shareholders and inform our actions to address these concerns we undertook two rounds of engagement meetings this year.

At a business level shareholders were disappointed in CSL’s share price growth and the post‑acquisition performance of CSL Vifor. The letters from our Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (CEO) and Chair earlier in this report address these concerns and outline how CSL and CSL Vifor in particular have delivered growth this year.

My focus in this letter is our actions to address shareholder concerns around remuneration. The three key concerns were:

  • The ROIC performance threshold in our Long‑Term Incentive plan was not sufficiently challenging;

  • The quantum of Board downward discretion on the in‑flight Long‑Term Incentive (LTI) award outcomes for the former CEO’s LTI award; and

  • The use of Net Profit after Taxation and Amortisation (NPATA) as a Short‑Term Incentive (STI) measure.

The Board acknowledges these concerns and feedback and over the past 12 months has undertaken a review of CSL’s remuneration framework. The Board has concluded that whilst the overall executive remuneration framework remains fit for purpose, there are improvements required in its application to address shareholder concerns. These are outlined below with further detail in section 2.3 below.

Directors’ Report

Remuneration Report

KMP changes in 2025

In September 2024, we welcomed Ms Elaine Sorg to the Board as a Non‑Executive Director (NED) and in December 2024 welcomed Dr Brian Daniels as a NED. Both directors bring a wealth of valuable growth‑oriented experience from the pharmaceutical industry that complements our Board’s existing skillset.

In October 2024 following the Annual General Meeting, we farewelled Professor Duncan Maskell.

During 2025, Mr Andy Schmeltz, Executive Vice President, CSL Behring, took a temporary period of Caregiver’s Leave but remained available to the Executive Leadership team and continued to support important strategic matters. During this period, Ms Joy Linton, Chief Financial Officer, moved into the role of Interim Executive Vice President, CSL Behring. The Board sincerely thanks Ms Linton for her leadership during this period.

Executive Remuneration Framework Changes in 2025

As communicated in 2024, for awards granted from 1 September 2024, a one year holding lock period will be applied following vesting of Performance Share Unit (PSU) awards for all Global Leadership Group (GLG) members. The holding lock ensures the executive’s reward continues to be exposed to the CSL share price and aligned with CSL’s shareholders’ experience.

Remuneration Outcomes in 2025

The remuneration outcomes for 2025 are as follows:

2025 CEO Remuneration Outcomes

On 1 September 2024, Dr Paul McKenzie, CSL’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (CEO), received a 3.5% increase to his salary, consistent with the increase applied to the wider workforce. There was no change to his short‑term incentive (STI) target opportunity of 120% and maximum opportunity of 240% of Fixed Reward, nor any change to his long‑term incentive (LTI) target opportunity of 425% of Fixed Reward.

The CEO’s Fixed Reward inclusive of salary, superannuation and non‑monetary benefits was US$2,012,575. An STI outcome of US$2,789,471 (62% of maximum opportunity) was awarded. His FY23 LTI Award was tested at 30 June 2025 and will vest in September 2025 at 37.92%. This delivers shares to the value of US$1,254,609 based on the 30 June 2025 CSL share price.

The 2025 “realised” or “take home pay” for Dr McKenzie was US$6,056,655. Additional detail is available in section 2.2 of the Report. In considering the CEO’s remuneration outcomes, in particular his STI, the Board noted his leadership in building the quality and effectiveness of the management team, his focus on margin improvement and performance of the plasma business; advancing CSL’s product pipeline by transforming the approach to research and development; launching ANDEMBRY for patients with hereditary angioedema; growing the iron and renal business; expanding Seqirus into France and Germany; and strategic initiatives to help reduce cost and complexity.

Board Adjustments Applied to Remuneration Outcomes in 2025

The Board determined that no adjustments to STI or LTI outcomes were to be applied to Executive KMP in 2025.

Remuneration in 2026

Executive KMP

For 2026, the Board has determined to make increases to Fixed Reward only for Executive KMP, specifically 3% for Dr McKenzie, 3% for Mr Andy Schmeltz, and 3.26% for Ms Joy Linton (inclusive of the superannuation guarantee increase she received on 1 July 2025). Percentage opportunities for STI and LTI will remain unchanged. As outlined in the table in section 2.3 we have reduced LTI vesting for achievement of threshold ROIC performance from 50% to 33%.

Total target direct compensation (TDC) for each Executive KMP will remain below the median of the global pharmaceutical/ biotechnology peer group for their respective roles (Dr McKenzie’s TDC will be around 70% of the median).

NEDs

For 2026, the Board has determined that there will be no increase to any Board or Committee fees.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

Executive Remuneration Framework Outlook

As outlined in letters from the Chair and CEO earlier in this report, a number of strategic initiatives are being undertaken in FY26 to improve clinical and commercial execution and to help reduce cost and complexity.

One of the key strategic initiatives is to progress toward the demerger of CSL Seqirus, our vaccines business.

Should the demerger proceed, a review of the remuneration frameworks for each business will be required. The Board will provide updates on the progress of this initiative and the impact on both CSL’s and Seqirus’s remuneration frameworks.

Your Board will continue to review CSL’s remuneration framework to ensure it can compete in a global market and can attract and retain the highest quality talent to help deliver enduring patient impact in areas of high unmet medical need. This includes benchmarking against our global pharmaceutical and biotechnology peers. We will continue to talk to and seek feedback from our stakeholders over the coming months to make sure their views are considered.

Thank you to my fellow Human Resources and Remuneration Committee members and thank you for supporting CSL and the patients we serve around the world.

2.3 CSL’s response to the 2024 Remuneration Report First Strike

At CSL’s 2024 AGM, shareholders delivered a first strike with 26.36% of votes cast against the adoption of the Report. CSL’s Board was disappointed with this outcome but values and acknowledges the feedback received from CSL’s shareholders and other external stakeholders prior to and at the 2024 AGM.

Since the 2024 AGM, the Board has carefully considered that feedback, with Directors and members of the management team engaging with shareholders and other external stakeholders regarding CSL’s executive remuneration framework.

Based on the feedback and discussions, a review of CSL’s remuneration framework was conducted and the Board considers CSL’s overall executive remuneration framework remains fit for purpose for the 2026 financial year. The Board acknowledges that CSL’s shareholders are focused on the Company’s future growth and shareholder returns as well as how these align with and are supported by the rewards paid to CSL’s executives.

The following table sets out the key areas of feedback received in relation to CSL’s executive remuneration and actions that have been taken to address them.

  1. FR includes base salary, retirement/superannuation benefits, and other benefits such as insurances, relocation and allowances paid in 2025.

  2. STI relates to STI earned in 2025 and will be paid in September 2025 (refer to section 5.1). In summary, outcomes as a percentage of maximum were 62% (P McKenzie), 65% (J Linton) and 61% (A Schmeltz).

  3. Equity Vested refers to value of LTI vested at 1 March 2025 that became unrestricted and the value of LTI awards tested at 30 June 2025, which are expected to vest on 1 September 2025 at 37.9% (refer to section 5.2). Awards were granted over the period 1 November 2022 to 1 September 2023. The value at vesting has been determined by multiplying the number of vested units by the closing share price on the date of vesting or in the case of the awards to vest on 1 September 2025, the closing share price at 30 June 2025. This has been converted to US$ at an average exchange rate for the 2025 financial year of 1.54632. The award vesting 1 March 2025 for A Schmeltz was a commencement benefit granted on commencement of employment in 2023 and earned in 2025.

3.3 Fixed Remuneration

FR for CSL’s Executive KMP is designed to attract and retain the talent required to deliver CSL’s strategy and long term growth. CSL targets the market median when setting FR, with consideration of individual experience, performance and internal and external relativities.

CSL competes for talent in a global market, and needs to attract and retain high calibre executives in a highly competitive global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. The unique skill set with specialised pharmaceutical and biotechnology expertise and experience that CSL requires is critical to enable the company to deliver on its strategy, its promise to patients and to deliver sustainable returns to shareholders.

CSL’s global pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry peer group serves as the primary reference group for remuneration benchmarking, created such that with respect to market capitalisation and revenue, CSL falls around the middle of the group. The group represents global industry peers and is updated annually.

The peer group for 2025 comprised:

AbbVie Inc Eli Lilly and Company Novo Nordisk A/S Amgen Inc GlaxoSmithKline plc Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc Astra Zeneca PLC Gilead Sciences Inc Sanofi Bausch Health Companies Inc Grifols, S.A. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Bayer AG Merck KGaA Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc Biogen Inc Moderna Inc Bristol‑Myers Squibb Company Novartis AG

In addition, general industry groups for Australia, Europe and North America are used to help the company appropriately reward senior talent and are used as a primary, or hybrid, data set for certain Executive KMP roles.

5. Executive KMP Outcomes in 2025

5.1 STI Outcomes in 2025

In 2025, CSL slightly exceeded target on the STI measure of NPATA (STI outcome of 110% of target) while performance on the CFO measure was at the STI maximum (delivering an STI outcome of 200% of target). The CFO measure was driven by a strong focus on working capital management, especially in relation to inventory and receivables.

The performance outcomes achieved resulted in an average overall STI payment outcome of 62.7% of maximum for Executive KMP (see tables 3, 4 and 5).

In determining the STI outcomes for Executive KMP, the Board reviewed the quality of earnings and risk management outcomes across the year to ensure the STI outcomes were appropriately aligned with the overall performance of the company and the experience of CSL’s shareholders.

The Leading and Managing Modifier was not used for Executive KMP in 2025. The Board made no adjustments under the Malus and Clawback Policy and no risk management, behavioural or compliance issues involving Executive KMP were identified during the joint meeting between the HRRC and ARMC.

  1. The opening share price for each year reflects the closing share price from the previous year. The opening share price for 2021 was A$287.00. 11. NPATA attributable to shareholders of CSL Limited as reported in the financial statements. Only four years of outcomes are provided as CSL first reported this measure in 2022.

5.2 LTI Outcomes in 2025

CSL’s legacy LTI awards that had installment vesting over a four‑year period have ceased, and we now have a single LTI award tested each year. For the award that will vest on 1 September 2025 (granted 1 November 2022 with a performance period to 30 June 2025), the Board considered performance over the seven‑year performance period for ROIC and the three year performance period for EPSg. As the performance hurdles were set in November 2022 for both tranches, CSL’s acquisition of Vifor Pharma was factored into the targets set.

The Board also noted the foreign exchange headwinds encountered over the performance period of both tranches and has not made any adjustment for this, consistent with prior years.

Table 6: LTI Awards tested as of 30 June 2025

Performance Performance Performance Performance Vesting
Grant Date Security Tranche Weight Measure Period Level Outcome Outcome14
1 November 2022 PSU 1 70% ROIC 1 July 2018 – Threshold – 17.0% 17.1% 54%
30 June 2025 Target – 18.2%
1 November 2022 PSU 2 30% EPSg 1 July 2022 – Threshold – 10.2% 8.8% 0%
30 June 2025 Target – 14.1%

For awards that vested following the performance period ended 30 June 2024, please refer to the 2024 Remuneration Report.

  1. The STI earned is the maximum 2025 STI that will be paid to the Executive KMP. Any STI that was not earned is automatically forfeited. If none of the performance hurdles had been met, the minimum 2025 STI paid would have been zero. 14. The remaining portion of each tranche has lapsed – there is no retest.

6.2 Executive Remuneration Framework Changes for 2026

The Board continually reviews the executive remuneration framework, ensuring each component is fit for purpose and enables the delivery of CSL’s strategy and purpose. Over the year, NEDs and executives have held conversations with many of CSL’s shareholders and valued their feedback on the framework. For LTI awards to be granted towards the end of calendar year 2025 (and which will be disclosed in the 2025 Notice of AGM) the Board decided to amend the threshold payout for the ROIC component, down to 33% from 50%.

As mentioned earlier in this Report, a number of strategic initiatives are being undertaken across CSL in 2026, in order to improve clinical and commercial execution and to help reduce cost and complexity. Aligned with this, the Board will again be conducting a review of CSL’s executive remuneration framework to ensure it can continue to compete in a global market. Any changes resulting from the review are expected to be effective from the 2027 financial year.

7. Remuneration Governance

7.1 CSL’s Remuneration Governance Framework

CSL Board

The Board is responsible for the oversight and strategic direction of CSL. It monitors operational and financial performance, human resources policies and practices, and approves the company’s budgets and business plans. It is also responsible for overseeing CSL’s risk management, financial reporting and compliance framework.

The Board reviews, makes comment on and, as appropriate, approves remuneration recommendations from the HRRC. The Board approves the remuneration and remuneration outcomes for the CEO and NEDs and approves the policies and processes that govern both.

HRRC

The HRRC has oversight of all aspects of remuneration at CSL, including the following activities:

  • Review of the executive remuneration framework;

  • Review and consideration of investor feedback;

  • Appointment of external remuneration advisers;

  • Review of senior executive appointments and remuneration arrangements;

  • Review of STI and LTI arrangements, and reward outcomes for senior executives;

  • Review of the CSL inclusion and belonging objectives and report, gender pay review and progress against objectives;

  • Review of talent and succession planning for senior executives;

ARMC

The ARMC assists the Board in the governance of CSL’s financial reporting and disclosures, risk identification, management and compliance, and oversees and monitors ESG performance.

The ARMC advises the HRRC on any material risk management and financial matters that may impact remuneration outcomes.

Joint HRRC and ARMC meetings

The Committees meet jointly at least annually to review and consider relevant risk management matters in the determination of the Executive KMP remuneration outcomes. In addition, a number of NEDs are members of both the HRRC and ARMC, ensuring that risk and compliance matters are taken into consideration during HRRC meetings.

  • Review of long‑term remuneration strategy;

  • Review of NED remuneration; and

  • Review of the HRRC Charter and HRRC performance.

Full responsibilities of the HRRC, are outlined in its Charter (reviewed annually). The Charter is available at https://www.csl.com/we‑are‑csl/ corporate‑ governance

The composition and individual attendances of the HRRC members at HRRC meetings can be found in the Directors’ Report.

External Remuneration Advisers

The Board and the HRRC may seek and consider advice directly from external advisers, who are independent of management.

In 2025 the HRRC engaged the services of Aon Consulting in the US, and Ernst & Young in Australia. Under engagement and communication protocols adopted by CSL, the market data and other advice were provided directly to the HRRC by both Aon Consulting and Ernst & Young. Neither Aon Consulting nor Ernst & Young provided Remuneration Recommendations during the 2025 financial year.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

7.2 Remuneration Governance Policies and Approach

Feature Description
Board Discretion ‒ CEO and Executive KMP outcomes are holistically assessed by the Board before approval. The Board
also considers whether there are any circumstances warranting application of discretion (including under
the Malus and Clawback Policy).
‒ The Board has the discretion to adjust STI and LTI outcomes downwards, including to zero, and can also
adjust STI upwards.
Treatment of STI ‒ A ‘qualifed leaver’ (for example someone who retires or is made redundant) or an employee who ceases
on Cessation of employment under a change of control event, may receive a pro‑rata payment paid in the ordinary
Employment and course based on the portion of the Performance Period worked, subject to Performance Measures
Change of Control being met.
‒ If the Executive KMP is not a ‘qualifed leaver’, no payment will be made unless the Board
determines otherwise.
Treatment of LTI ‒ A ‘qualifed leaver’ (for example someone who retires or is made redundant) retains a pro‑rated number
on Cessation of PSUs based on time elapsed since grant date. Retained PSUs will remain subject to original terms
of Employment and conditions including satisfaction of performance conditions at the test date.
‒ If an Executive KMP is not a ‘qualifed leaver’, all unvested PSUs will generally lapse unless the Board
determines otherwise.
Treatment of LTI ‒ In the event of a change of control, the Board, in its absolute discretion, may determine that some or
on Change all of the PSUs vest having regard to the performance of CSL during the performance period up to the
of Control date of the change of control event.
‒ Vesting may occur at the date of the change of control event, or an earlier vesting date as determined
bythe Board.
Malus and ‒ CSL operates a Malus and Clawback Policy across both STI and LTI. The Board, in its discretion, may
Clawback Policy apply the policy to any incentive provided to a senior executive, including a former senior executive,
upon the occurrence(or the discoveryof the occurrence)of a material adverse development.
Commencement
Benefts
‒ The HRRC and Board may determine that it is appropriate for a commencement beneft to be offered
to an externally hired Executive KMP, aligned to the CSL framework.
‒ Commencement benefts in the form of cash and/or equity can be made to compensate for
remuneration being forfeited from a former employer. Awards may be discounted to take into
consideration any performance conditions on the award at the former employer.
Minimum ‒ The following levels of vested equity must be held within fve years of appointment:
shareholding
guideline

CEO: Three times base salary

Other Executive KMP: One times base salary

NEDs: One times Board base fee (refer to section 8.1 for more details)
‒ As at 30 June 2025, all Executive KMP hold, or are on track to hold, the minimum shareholding
requirement within the relevant timeperiod.
Securities Dealing ‒ The CSL Securities Dealing Policy prohibits employees from using price protection arrangements
(e.g., hedging) in respect of CSL securities, or allowing them to be used. The Policy also provides that no
CSL securities can be used in connection with a margin loan.
‒ Upon vesting of an award, an employee may only deal in their CSL securities in accordance with
the Policy. A breach of the Policy may result in disciplinary action. A copy of the Policy is available at
http://www.csl.com.au/about/governance.htm.

7.3 Contractual Provisions for Executive KMP

Executive KMP are employed on individual service contracts that outline the terms of their employment, which include:

Duration of Contract Notice Period Employee Notice Period CSL* Termination Payment
No fxed term Six months Six months 12 months
  • CSL may also terminate at any time without notice for serious misconduct and/or breach of contract. CSL may also make a payment in lieu of notice with total termination payment capped at 12 months.

The CEO is a US based executive and, under the CEO’s employment contract, CSL has agreed to indemnify the CEO if he is subject to additional tax on his remuneration in any jurisdiction other than the US. CSL will also reimburse the CEO for the net difference between US and foreign tax liabilities after taking into account any credits available to the CEO in the US.

7.4 Other Transactions

No loans were made, guaranteed or secured, directly or indirectly by CSL or any of its subsidiaries, to any Executive KMP or their related parties during 2025.

No loans were made to NEDs during 2025. To the extent that there were transactions between the Company and an organisation with which a NED may be connected or associated, those transactions were all on normal commercial arms’ length terms, immaterial, and the relevant NED had no involvement in any procurement or other Board decision‑making related to the transaction.

7.5 Share Purchases

During 2025, CSL completed three on‑market purchases of shares for the purposes of the NED Rights Plan. A total of 2,769 shares were purchased during the reporting period and the average price paid per share was A$287.21.

Under employee equity plans, five on‑market purchases were completed during the reporting period. A total of 191,421 shares were purchased with the average price paid per share of A$263.29.

8. NED Remuneration

8. NED Remuneration NED Remuneration
8.1 NED Fee Policy
Feature Description
Objective CSL’s NED fee arrangements are designed to appropriately compensate suitably qualifed directors,
with the requisite experience and expertise, for their Board responsibilities and contribution to Board
committees. NEDs do not receive any performance related remuneration.
Maximum The current maximum aggregate fee pool of A$4,500,000 was last approved by shareholders on
Aggregate Fees 29 October 2024. Actual NED fees paid during the 2025 year (including superannuation contributions,
NED Rights Plan sacrifce amounts and Committee fees) are within this agreed limit, and totalled
A$3,714,326 in 2025. NEDs may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred during the year and this
reimbursement is not included within this limit.
NED Fee Reviews The Board, in conjunction with the HRRC, reviews NED fees on an annual basis. Fees are set with reference
to the responsibilities and time commitments expected of NEDs along with consideration to the level of
fees paid to NEDs of comparable Australian companies. The Board also monitors the practice of global listed
companies in European and US markets.
NED Rights Plan Under the NED Rights Plan, NEDs must sacrifce at least 20% of their pre‑tax base fee in return for a grant
of Rights, each Right entitling a NED to acquire one CSL share at no additional cost. The number of Rights
granted is equivalent to the fee sacrifced divided by the prevailing market price of CSL shares at that time.
Rights are allocated in two tranches and vesting occurs following the disclosure of half year and full year
fnancial results following the grant of Rights. No price is payable on vesting as this is a fee sacrifce plan
and no performance conditions apply to the Rights. For Australian based NEDs, Rights are automatically
exercised on vesting and the shares allocated are then subject to a nominated restriction period of three
to ffteen years. NEDs based overseas hold vested Rights with shares only being allocated at the end of the
nominated three to ffteen year restriction period after automatic exercise of the Rights. The expiry date is
at the end of the restriction period.
As this is a fee sacrifce plan, 100 percent of each tranche of Rights will vest following disclosure of the next
fnancial results unless the NED ceases to hold their offce before vesting, in which case the NED’s Rights
will be pro‑rated based on service, with retained Rights automatically exercised and shares allocated
following cessation, and the remaining Rights lapsed. The maximum value of the Rights is the Fair Value per
Right at the grant date multiplied by the number of Rights granted (see footnote 24 to Table 10 for details of
the Fair Values and number of Rights granted in 2025). The minimum value of the Rights will be the number
of Rights retained if the NED ceases to hold their offce multiplied by the Fair Value per Right at the grant
date(see footnote 24 to Table 10 for details of the Fair Values).
Shareholding NEDs must hold CSL shares equal to 100% of their Board base fee within fve years from the date of
Requirement appointment to the Board. As at 30 June 2025, all NEDs either hold or are on track to meet the minimum
shareholdingrequirement within the relevant timeperiod.
Post‑Employment
Benefts
Superannuation contributions are made in accordance with legislation and are included in the reported
base fee and are not additional to the base fee. NEDs are not entitled to any additional compensation on
cessation of appointment.
Contracts NEDs are appointed under a letter of appointment and are subject to ordinary election and rotation
requirements as stipulated in the ASX ListingRules and CSL Limited’s constitution.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

8.2 NED Fees

The Board continues to monitor the practice of global Australian listed companies and those listed in European and US markets to confirm a competitive structure and fee arrangement is in place.

In 2025, after reviewing ASX12 companies’ Board fees, the Board determined not to increase any Board or Committee fees from 1 July 2025. The current fees continue to be within the maximum aggregate fees that may be paid to all NEDs, as approved by shareholders at the 2024 AGM.

The following table provides details of Board and Committee fees for 2025 and 2026.

Human Resources & Remuneration A$65,550 A$32,900
Innovation & Development A$63,550 A$32,900

The Chair of the Board does not receive Committee fees in addition to his Board Chair fee.

Applicable only to those NEDs who reside outside of Australia, for any trip to Australia greater than ten hours, a per‑trip gross travel allowance of A$20,000 will be paid. This allowance considers the travel burden imposed on overseas NEDs as they attend board meetings and visit CSL’s Australian locations.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

9.4 Summary of Executive KMP Equity Granted, Vested and Lapsed in 2025

The table below summarises the details of equity awards granted, vested and lapsed for each Executive KMP. For awards granted, the maximum number of securities that may vest is shown. For accounting purposes, the maximum value of each grant is the fair value of the equity granted multiplied by the number of equity instruments granted or remaining each year. Ultimately, the maximum face value of the equity awards will be equal to the number of securities granted multiplied by the CSL share price at the time of vesting. If an award was to be cash settled, the maximum face value of the equity award will be equal to the number of securities granted multiplied by the weighted average market price per Share at which Shares were sold on the ASX during the five trading days immediately preceding the applicable Vesting Date. The minimum number of securities and the value of the equity awards is zero if the equity award is fully lapsed. Details of the performance and service criteria applying to awards granted in prior years are summarised in Table 11 and prior Remuneration Reports corresponding to the reporting period in which the awards were granted.

The value at grant date has been determined by the share price at the close of business on the grant date of 21 August 2024 being A$308.49 multiplied by the number of Rights granted, and for the award granted 19 February 2025 being A$264.85 multiplied by the number of Rights granted. The A$ value was converted to US$ at an average exchange rate for the year of 1.54632. The Rights have an expiry date fifteen years from the start of the financial year in which the Rights were granted.

  3. The value of Rights is calculated based on an assessment of the fair market value of the instruments in accordance with the accounting standards (refer to Note 17 in the Financial Statements). The fair value of each Right granted on 21 August 2024 was Tranche 1: A$301.91 and Tranche 2: A$299.57 and for the Rights granted 19 February 2025 was A$255.08, multiplied by the number of Rights granted.

  1. Vesting and exercise occurred in relation to Tranche 2 of the 2024 grant and Tranche 1 of the 21 August 2024 grant. All Rights eligible vested at 100% during the year. No Rights eligible to vest were lapsed.

  2. The value at exercise date has been determined by the share price at the close of business on the exercise date multiplied by the number of Rights exercised during 2025. The A$ value was converted to US$ at an average exchange rate for the year of 1.54632. Australian based NEDs have Rights exercised at the vesting date and a holding lock is placed on the shares for a period of three to fifteen years as elected by the NED.

  3. Vested Rights are exercisable to the NED at the end of the nominated restriction period. All vested Rights are currently unexercisable until the end of the nominated restriction period.

  1. Unvested Rights represent the tranches that will vest on 22 August 2025, following the release of full year financial results.

10. Additional Employee Equity Programs

In addition to the Executive Performance and Alignment Plan LTI program described earlier in this Report, CSL operates two additional employee equity programs – the Global Employee Share Plan and the Retain and Grow Plan. An overview of those programs is provided below.

10.1 Global Employee Share Plan

CSL’s Global Employee Share Plan (GESP) provides all employees the opportunity to share in the ownership of CSL and share in the future.

Operating across two six month contribution periods, an employee can elect to make post tax salary contributions between A$365 and A$12,000 per six month period. The employee then receives shares at a 15% discount to the applicable market rate over the five day period up to and including the first and last ASX trading days of the six month period, whichever is the lower. Shares are then held in restriction for a period of one or three years as determined upfront by the employee. The shares may be issued or purchased on market.

To participate in GESP an employee must have at least six months service at the start of the contribution period. Participation is open to permanent full or part time and fixed term contract employees and excludes Executive Directors.

10.2 Retain and Grow Plan

The CSL Group Retain and Grow Plan (RGP) LTI program is designed to attract, motivate and retain key talent across the organisation. RGP provides eligible employees with longer‑term share ownership in CSL, enabling them to share in the company’s success and any capital growth.

The RGP recognises those individuals in management roles (Manager to Senior Vice President) across the CSL Group. Awards under the RGP are not guaranteed and the CSL Board will review participation on an annual basis. Key plan elements are as follows:

  • The security granted is an RSU. An RSU is a conditional ‘right’ to a CSL share (i.e. full value instrument) or at the Board’s discretion, a cash equivalent payment. No price is payable by the participant on grant or vesting of rights. Shares are automatically allocated (or cash automatically paid) without the need for exercise by a participant; LTI opportunity set as % of local salary (converted to A$ at grant);

  • Number of RSUs determined using face value (five day weighted average share price);

  • Individual performance hurdle – must at least partially meet performance expectations;

  • 33% of RSUs will vest on the first and second anniversaries of the Issue Date, with the remaining 34% vesting on the third anniversary;

  • There is no retesting of awards;

  • On cessation of employment a ‘qualified leaver’ (such as retirement or redundancy) will retain a pro‑rated number of RSUs based on time elapsed since grant date, subject to original terms and conditions. If a participant is not a ‘qualified leaver’, all unvested awards will be forfeited unless the Board determines otherwise;

  • In the event of a change of control, the Board, in its absolute discretion, may determine that some or all of the awards vest having regard to the performance of the participant during the vesting period to the date of the change of control event.

  • Vesting may occur at the date of the change of control event or an earlier vesting date as determined by the Board; and

  • No dividends or dividend equivalents are paid on unvested awards. Participants are only eligible for dividends once shares have been allocated following vesting of any RSUs. RSUs do not carry any voting rights prior to vesting and allocation of shares.

CSL’s Senior Vice President and Vice President employees participate in both the Executive Performance and Alignment PSU (described in section 3.5) and RGP LTI Plans, with a higher portion of awards aligned to the executive plan.

The RGP is also used for commencement benefits, retention and recognition awards at all levels of the organisation. When used for this purpose, the vesting schedule is often designed to suit individual circumstances and will therefore typically differ from the one‑third‑per‑year schedule used in the standard version of RGP outlined above.

About this Report

Notes to the financial statements:

Corporate information

CSL Limited (CSL) is a for-profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia and limited by shares publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. This financial report covers the financial statements for the consolidated entity consisting of CSL and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group). The financial report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 18 August 2025.

A description of the nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities is included in the directors’ report.

a. Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Corporations Act 2001 . It presents information on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. Amounts have been rounded off to the nearest million dollars.

The report is presented in US dollars, because this currency is the pharmaceutical industry standard currency for reporting purposes. It is also the predominant currency of the Group’s worldwide sales and operating expenses.

b. Principles of consolidation

The financial statements comprise the financial statements of CSL and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2025. CSL has control of its subsidiaries when it is exposed to, and has the rights to, variable returns from its involvement with those entities and when it has the ability to affect those returns. A list of significant controlled entities (subsidiaries) at year end is contained in Note 16.

Where the Group's interest in a subsidiary is less than 100%, the interest attributable to outside shareholders is reflected in non-controlling interest.

Non-controlling interests in the financial results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively. Further details about the Group's non-controlling interest is contained in Note 22.

The financial results of the subsidiaries are prepared using consistent accounting policies and for the same reporting period as the parent company.

In preparing the financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in full. The Group has formed a trust to administer the Group’s employee share plan (GESP). This trust is consolidated as it is controlled by the Group.

94

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25 95

c. Foreign currency

While the presentation currency of the Group is US dollars, entities in the Group may have other functional currencies, reflecting the currency of the primary economic environment in which the relevant entity operates. The parent entity, CSL Limited, has a functional currency of US dollars. Any exchange differences arising from the translation of a foreign operation previously recognised in other comprehensive income are not reclassified from equity to the profit or loss until the disposal of the operation.

If an entity in the Group has undertaken transactions in foreign currency, these transactions are translated into that entity’s functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Where the functional currency of a subsidiary is not US dollars, the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities are translated on consolidation to US dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date, and its profit or loss is translated at average exchange rates. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) and in the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR) in equity.

d. Material accounting policies

Material accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements.

There were no material changes in accounting policies during the year ended 30 June 2025, nor did the introduction of new accounting standards lead to any change in measurement or disclosure in these financial statements.

The Group has not adopted any accounting standards that are issued but not yet effective.

e. Key judgements and estimates

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, a number of judgements and estimates of future events are required. Material judgements and estimates are found in the following notes:

The Group has assessed the impact of climate risk on its financial reporting. The impact assessment principally focuses on key judgement areas, being the valuation and useful lives of intangible and tangible assets and the identification and valuation of provisions and contingent liabilities. No material accounting impacts or changes to judgements or other required disclosures have resulted from the assessment. While the assessment did not have a material impact for the year ended 30 June 2025, this may change in future periods as the Group regularly updates its assessment of the impact of the lower carbon economy.

f. The notes to the financial statements

The notes to these financial statements have been organised into logical groupings to help users find and understand the information they need. Where possible, related information has been provided in the same place. More detailed information (for example, valuation methodologies and certain reconciliations) has been placed at the rear of the document and cross-referenced where necessary. CSL has also reviewed the notes for materiality and relevance and provided additional information where it is helpful to an understanding of the Group’s performance.

Our Current Performance

Note 1: Segment Information

The Group’s segments represent strategic business units that offer different products and operate in different industries and markets. They are presented consistent with how the CEO who is the chief operating decision-maker (CODM) monitors and assesses business performance to make resource allocation decisions. The operating segments are measured based on the segment operating result, being the revenues and costs directly under the control of the business unit. Segment information is presented to the CODM based on the operating performance of the business units and centralised functions, which has been adjusted to exclude impairment and amortisation of acquired intellectual property (IP) and nonrecurring items resulting from business acquisitions and business disposals. Results related to the Group's centrally managed functions that are not directly attributable to a segment, impairment and amortisation of acquired IP, gain or loss from business acquisition and disposal, tax and net finance costs are not allocated to segments.

The Group’s operating segments are:

CSL Behring – manufactures, markets and distributes plasma products, gene therapies and recombinants.

CSL Seqirus – manufactures, markets and distributes predominantly influenza related products and provides pandemic services to governments.

CSL Vifor – manufactures, markets and distributes products in the therapeutic areas of iron deficiency and nephrology. The Group's centralised research and development ("R&D") function builds on its capabilities across the R&D value chain. The Group continues to make balanced investments in life cycle management and market development of existing and new products. Costs related to R&D are reported separately and are not allocated to the operating segments. The Group utilises globally integrated functions to realise economies of scale. The functions include executive office, communications, finance, human resources, legal, information & technology. The costs related to these functions, as well as any other non-business unit related costs (including depreciation and amortisation of unallocated assets) are reported as General and Administration expenses and are not allocated to the operating segments.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25 97

Segment information has been adjusted to exclude impairment and amortisation of acquired intellectual property (IP) and non-recurring items resulting from business acquisition and disposals.

NPATA represents the statutory net profit after tax before impairment and amortisation of acquired IP and non-recurring items resulting from business acquisitions and disposals (as referenced above). Refer to the next page for the reconciliation between the segment information and statutory results.

1 Depreciation and amortisation expenses (excluding IP) of $204m (2024: $187m) relate to non-segment expenditure and are not allocated to segments.

2 The Group's EBITDA of $5,151m (2024: $4,750m) represents statutory operating profit (EBIT) of $4,134m (2024: $3,812m) as reported in the consolidated income statement adding back total depreciation and amortisation expense of $1,017m (2024: $938m) (Note 3). The Group's EBITDA includes $2,125m (2024: $2,150m) of costs that are not allocated to segments. The costs are primarily attributable to centralised activities being R&D and general and administration.

Note 2: Business Disposals

The net gain on business disposals during the year ended 30 June 2025 primarily relates to the divestment of the 100% of the Group's interest in Wuhan Zhong Yuan Ruide Biological Products Co Ltd and its subsidiaries (Ruide) plasma collection and fractionation operations, for a cash purchase price of $185m from Chengdu Rongsheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Chengdu Rongsheng).

The Group has ceased to consolidate the results of Ruide from the date of loss of control, which was at the completion of sale in October 2024. A gain on disposal is recognised in the profit or loss for the year. This is calculated as the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration received and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the net assets (including a portion of the goodwill that is attributable to the cash-generating unit) of the subsidiaries. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to these subsidiaries has been reclassified to profit or loss as required by applicable accounting standards. The assets and liabilities of Ruide were presented as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2024.

Note 3: Revenue and Expenses

Recognition and measurement of revenue and other income

Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised good or service to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. Revenue from contracts with customers includes amounts in total operating revenue except other income. Further information about each source of revenue from contracts with customers and the revenue recognition criteria follows.

Sales : Revenue is earned (constrained by variable considerations, which include returns, discounts, rebates and allowances) from the sale of products and services. Sales are recognised when performance obligations are either satisfied over time or at a point in time. Generally the supply of product under a contract with a customer will represent the satisfaction of a performance obligation at a point in time, which is when control of the product passes to the customer.

==> picture [18 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Key Judgements and Estimates

Significant estimates of CSL Seqirus sales returns are performed in respect of the influenza season expected to be subject to return. The estimate is performed with inputs including historical returns and customer sales data amongst other factors.

Royalties : Revenue from licensees of CSL intellectual property (included within 'other' revenue in the product and service table below) reflect a right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the point in time in which the license is granted. Where consideration is based on sales of product by the licensee, it is recognised when the customer’s subsequent sales of product occurs.

License revenue : Revenue from licensees of CSL intellectual property (included within 'other' revenue in the product and service table below) reflects the transfer of a right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the point in time in which the license is transferred to the customer. Consideration is highly variable and estimated using the most likely amount method. Subsequently, the estimate is constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. Revenue is recognised as or when the performance obligations are satisfied.

Influenza pandemic facility reservation fees : Revenue from governments (included within 'pandemic' revenue in the product and service table below) in return for access to influenza manufacturing facilities in the event of a pandemic. Contracts are timebased and revenue is recognised progressively over the life of the relevant contract, which aligns to the performance obligations being satisfied.

Other income : Other income is realised from activities that are outside of the ordinary business, such as the disposal of property, plant and equipment and rental income.

Capitalised interest for qualifying assets during the year ended 30 June 2025 was $68m (2024: $79m). Any difference between borrowing proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value losses on financial assets primarily relates to the Group's investments in venture funds measured at fair value through the profit or loss (Note 11(e)). The resulting changes in fair value are recognised directly to the profit or loss within finance costs at each reporting period.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded net within administration expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

Notes to the Financial StatementsNotes to the Financial Statements

Current taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities are the amounts expected to be recovered from (or paid to) tax authorities, under the tax rates and laws in each jurisdiction. These include any rates or laws that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the balance sheet date.

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and carried forward unused tax losses, only if it is probable that taxable profit will be available to utilise them.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the reporting date. If it is no longer probable that taxable profit will be available to utilise them, they are reduced accordingly. As at 30 June 2025, $84m (2024: $278m) in deferred tax assets have not been recognised with respect to tax losses with expiry dates not yet lapsed.

Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that are enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or when the deferred tax liability is settled. The Group continues to apply the mandatory temporary exemption regarding the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two and Domestic Minimum Tax incomes taxes in accordance with AASB 2023-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and if they relate to the same taxable entity or group and the same taxation authority. Income taxes attributable to amounts recognised in OCI or directly in equity are also recognised in OCI or in equity, and not in the consolidated income statement. CSL Limited and its 100% owned Australian subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group effective from 1 July 2003.

International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules

The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) Pillar Two Model Rules apply to the Group from 1 July 2024. As such, the financial statements have been prepared with consideration of the Pillar Two legislation. Based on the analysis performed as at 30 June 2025, Pillar Two has not had a material impact on the current tax expense of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Key Judgements and Estimates

The risk of uncertain tax positions, and recognition and recoverability of deferred tax assets, are regularly assessed. To do this requires judgements about the application of income tax legislation in jurisdictions in which the Group operates and the future operating performance of entities with carry forward losses. This includes matters such as the availability and timing of tax deductions and the application of the arm’s length principle to related party transactions, that are subject to risk and uncertainty. Changes in circumstances may alter expectations and affect the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Any resulting adjustment to the carrying value of deferred taxes will be recorded as a credit or charge to the statement of comprehensive income.

Raw Materials

Raw materials comprise collected and purchased plasma, chemicals, filters and other inputs to production that will be further processed into saleable products but have yet to be allocated to manufacturing.

Work in Progress

Work in progress comprises all inventory items that are currently in use in manufacturing and intermediate products such as pastes generated from the initial stages of the plasma production process.

Finished Goods

Finished goods comprise material that is ready for sale and has passed all quality control tests.

Inventories generally have expiry dates and the Group provides for product that is short-dated. Expiry dates for raw material are no longer relevant once the materials are used in production. The relevant expiry date at this point then becomes that of the resultant intermediate or finished good. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes direct material and labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads. Fixed overheads are allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated revenue that can be earned from the sale of a product less the estimated costs of both completion and selling.

The Group assesses net realisable value of plasma derived products on a basket of products basis given their joint product nature.

Key Judgements and Estimates

Various factors affect the assessment of recoverability of the carrying value of inventory, including regulatory approvals and future demand for the Group’s products. These factors are taken into account in determining the appropriate level of provisioning for inventory.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 6: People Costs continued

Salaries and wages

Salaries and wages include non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave. These are recognised and presented in different ways in the financial statements:

  • The liability for annual leave and the portion of long service leave to be paid within twelve months is measured at the amount expected to be paid and is included in the current provision for employee benefits.

  • The liability for long service leave and other employee benefits to be paid after one year is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made and is included in the non-current provision for employee benefits.

Defined benefit plans

Defined benefit plans
2025 2024
US$m US$m
Expenses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income are as follows:
Current service costs 59 59
Net interest cost 4 2
Past service costs
Total defined benefit plan expense 63 61

Defined benefit pension plans provide either a defined lump sum or ongoing pension benefits for employees upon retirement, based on years of service and final average salary.

Liabilities or assets in relation to these plans are recognised in the balance sheet, measured as the present value of the obligation less the fair value of the pension fund’s assets at that date.

Present value is based on the expected future payments required to settle the obligation at the reporting date, which is calculated by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Past service costs are recognised in statement of comprehensive income on the earlier of the date of plan amendments or curtailment, and the date that the Group recognises restructuring related costs.

Detailed information about the Group’s defined benefit plans is in Note 17(a).

==> picture [17 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Key Judgements and Estimates

The determination of certain employee benefit liabilities requires an estimation of future employee service periods and salary levels and the timing of benefit payments. These assessments are made based on past experience and anticipated future trends. The expected future payments are discounted using the rate applicable to high quality corporate bonds. Discount rates are matched to the expected payment dates of the liabilities.

Defined contribution plans

The Group makes contributions to various defined contribution pension plans and the Group’s obligation is limited to these contributions. The amount recognised as an expense for the year ended 30 June 2025 was $62m (2024: $61m).

Equity settled share-based payment expense

Share-based payment expenses arise from plans that award long-term incentives (LTI). Detailed information about the terms and conditions of the share-based payment arrangements is presented in Note 17(b).

Outstanding share-based payment equity instruments

The number and weighted average exercise price for each share-based payment plan outstanding is as follows. All plans are settled by physical delivery of shares at the time of vesting date except for instruments that may be settled in cash at the discretion of the Board.

Our Future

Note 7: Research and Development

The Group conducts research and development activities to support future development of products to serve our patient communities, to enhance our existing products and to develop new therapies. All costs associated with our research and development activities are expensed as incurred as uncertainty exists up until the point of regulatory approval as to whether a research and development project will be successful. Development costs incurred after regulatory approval are expensed unless it meets the criteria to be recognised as an intangible asset. For the year ended 30 June 2025, research and development costs recognised in the statement of comprehensive income were $1,359m (2024: $1,430m).

Any excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is initially allocated to a group of cash-generating units but is monitored at the segment (business unit) level. Goodwill is not amortised but is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment occurs when a business unit’s recoverable amount falls below the carrying value of its net assets. The results of the impairment testing show that each business unit’s recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, inclusive of goodwill. Consequently, there is no goodwill impairment as at 30 June 2025 (2024: Nil). A change in assumptions significant enough to lead to impairment is not considered a reasonable possibility. Disposals during the year ended 30 June 2025 relates to goodwill attributable to the Ruide cash-generating unit (Note 2).

The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill by segment are as follows:

Intellectual property

Intellectual property (IP) acquired in a business combination is initially measured at fair value. Intellectual property internally developed or acquired separately is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, it is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is calculated on a unit-of-production or diminishing balance basis over periods generally ranging from 5 to 30 years, except where it is considered that the useful economic life is indefinite.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25 107

Contingent consideration in connection with the purchase of individual assets outside of business combinations is recognised as a financial liability only when a non-contingent obligation arises (i.e. when milestone is met). The determination of whether the payment should be capitalised or expensed is usually based on the substance of the contingent payment and whether it is expected to give rise to future economic benefits that will flow to the Group. If the milestones paid are for regulatory approval and a sales target, they are likely to meet the capitalisation criteria, and would be accumulated into the cost of the intangible.

Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities acquired in a business combination in subsequent periods are recognised in research and development expenses for early-stage products and as cost of sales for currently marketed products. The effect of unwinding the discount over time for contingent consideration liabilities is recognised in finance costs.

Software

Costs incurred in developing or acquiring software licenses and information systems that contribute future financial benefits are capitalised. These include external direct costs of materials and service and payroll costs of employees’ time spent on the project. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over periods generally ranging from 3 to 10 years. IT development costs include only those costs directly attributable to the development phase and are only recognised following completion of technical feasibility, where the Group has the intention and ability to use the asset.

Amortisation of intangible assets

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. The amortisation period and method is reviewed at each financial year end at a minimum. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised. The useful life of these intangibles is reviewed each reporting period.

Impairment of intangible assets

Assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life (including goodwill) or not yet ready for use are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired.

An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units), other than goodwill that is monitored at the segment level.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash generating units, and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.

Key Judgements and Estimates

The Group's impairment assessment requires significant judgement. Determining whether goodwill, indefinite lived intangibles and in development intangibles have been impaired requires estimation of the recoverable amount of cash generating units based on value-in-use calculations. The calculations use cash flow projections based on operating budgets and a ten-year strategic business plan, after which a terminal value, based on our view of the longer term growth profile of the business unit is applied. Cash flows have been discounted using an implied pre-tax discount rate of 9.5% (2024: 9.8%) which is calculated with reference to external analyst views, long-term government bond rates and long-term cost of debt. The determination of cash flows over the life of an asset requires judgement in assessing the future demand for the Group’s products, climate related impacts, any changes in the price and cost of those products and of other costs incurred by the Group.

Factors considered in the exercise of our judgement include the progress of the research project, time to market and the anticipated competitive landscape. These factors require judgement and may change in future periods, the impairment analysis takes into account the latest available information. Management considers that there are no reasonably foreseeable changes in assumptions (including change in tariffs) that would, in isolation, result in the impairment of goodwill at 30 June 2025.

Property, plant and equipment

Land, buildings, capital work in progress and plant and equipment assets are recorded at historical cost less, where applicable, depreciation.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation, impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities and restoration obligations recognised less any lease incentives received and initial direct costs.

Depreciation is recognised on a systematic basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally on a straight-line basis.

Buildings 5 – 50 years
Plant and equipment 3 – 40 years
Leasehold improvements 3 – 25 years
Right-of-use assets
– Plasma centres 5 – 40 years
– Office and warehouses 1 – 39 years
– Land 40 – 101 years

The unit-of-production depreciation method, based on the expected use or output as the asset is being used, may be applied during the early stages of operation of manufacturing facilities, as a substantial period of time may be required to ramp up the production and operate at intended capacity. This method is to be applied consistently from period to period unless there is a change in the expected pattern of consumption of those future economic benefits.

Assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each reporting date. Items of property, plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal.

Impairment testing for property, plant and equipment will be performed if an impairment trigger is identified.

Leasehold improvements

The cost of improvements to leasehold properties is amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is the shorter.

Right-of-use assets

The Group principally has leases for plasma centres, office buildings, land, manufacturing facilities and warehouses. The recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Further details about the Group's leases are contained in Note 11(d).

Other arrangements

CSL has leased a recombinant protein facility in Lengnau to Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS), which has a 20 year term with two five year extension options. The lease has been accounted for as an operating lease and the leased property, plant and equipment continue to be presented in the balance sheet. The total future operating lease payments due from TFS (excluding extension options and variable lease payments) were $415m as at 30 June 2025 (2024: $434m).

Notes to the Financial StatementsNotes to the Financial Statements

Note 11: Financial Risk Management

CSL holds financial instruments that arise from the Group’s need to access financing, from the Group’s operational activities and as part of the Group’s risk management activities. The Group is exposed to financial risks associated with its financial instruments. Financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, contract assets, other financial assets, payables and other liabilities, bank loans and overdrafts, unsecured notes, and lease liabilities.

Source of Risk

The primary risks these give rise to are:

  • Foreign exchange risk

  • Interest rate risk

  • Credit risk

  • Funding and liquidity risk

  • Capital management risk

Risk Mitigation

a. Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk because of its international operations. These risks relate to future commercial transactions, assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies and net investments in foreign operations.

Where possible CSL takes advantage of natural hedging (i.e. the existence of payables and receivables in the same currency). The Group also reduces its foreign exchange risk on receivables by denominating external borrowings in currencies that match the currencies of its receivables.

Additionally, the Group from time to time enters into non-recourse receivable factoring arrangements with non-US dollar high quality counterparties in mitigating foreign exchange fluctuations for certain currencies.

b. Interest Rate Risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through its primary financial assets and liabilities.

The Group mitigates interest rate risk on borrowings principally by entering into fixed rate arrangements, which are not subject to interest rate movements in the ordinary course. As at 30 June 2025, approximately 84% of the Group's debt was at fixed interest rates (2024: 78%). If necessary, CSL also hedges interest rate risk using derivative instruments. As at 30 June 2025 and 2024, there were no material outstanding derivative financial instruments hedging interest rate risks.

c. Credit Risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk from financial instruments contracts and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount, net of any provision for impairment inclusive of any lifetime expected credit losses under AASB 9, if applicable, of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

The Group mitigates credit risk from financial instruments contracts by only entering into transactions with counterparties who have sound credit ratings. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. The Group minimises the credit risk associated with trade and other debtors by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers in various countries. The Group enters into arrangements with distributors to sell products in some markets. Certain distributors may contribute to 10% or more revenue of the Group. Creditworthiness of customers is reviewed prior to granting credit, using trade references and credit reference agencies.

d. Funding and Liquidity Risk

The Group mitigates funding and liquidity risks by ensuring that:

The Group is exposed to funding and liquidity risk from its operations and external borrowings.

  • The Group has sufficient funds on hand to achieve its working

  • One such risk includes credit spread, which is the risk that in capital and investment objectives refinancing its debt, CSL may be exposed to an increased credit • The Group focuses on improving operational cash flow and spread. maintaining a strong balance sheet

Another is liquidity risk, which refers to the potential inability to refinance debt obligations or meet other cash outflow obligations when due.

  • Short-term liquidity, long-term liquidity and crisis liquidity requirements are effectively managed, minimising the cost of funding and maximising the return on any surplus funds through efficient cash management

Liquidity and re-financing risks are not considered significant for the Group, as CSL has a prudent gearing level and strong cash flows.

  • The Group has adequate flexibility to balance short-term liquidity needs, long-term core funding and minimise refinancing risk

e. Capital Risk Management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern while providing returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. Capital is defined as the amount subscribed by shareholders to the Company’s ordinary shares and amounts advanced by debt providers to any Group entity.

The Group aims to maintain a capital structure, which reflects the use of a prudent level of debt funding. The aim is to reduce the Group’s cost of capital without adversely affecting the credit margins applied to the Group’s debt funding. Each year the Directors determine the dividend and capital management initiatives taking into account factors such as profitability and liquidity.

110

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25 111

Risk management approach

The Group uses sensitivity analysis (together with other methods) to measure the extent of financial risks and decide if they need to be mitigated. If so, the Group’s policy is to use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap and forward contracts, to support its objective of achieving financial targets while seeking to protect future financial security. The aim is to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations in currency or interest rates on the Group’s earnings. Derivatives are exclusively used for this purpose and not as trading or other speculative instruments.

a. Foreign Exchange Risk

The US dollar is the predominant functional currency within the Group and as a result, currency exposures arise from transactions and balances in currencies other than the US dollar. The Group's potential currency exposures that could impact the profit or loss comprise:

  • translational exposure in respect of non-functional currency monetary items

  • transactional exposure in respect of non-functional currency expenditure and revenues

  • translational exposure in respect of non-USD functional currency expenditure and revenues to the Group's presentation currency (USD)

The objective of management is to match the contracts with committed future cash flows from sales and purchases in foreign currencies to protect the Group against exchange rate movements. There are no material outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts at 30 June 2025 and 2024.

Translation of non-functional currency monetary items – Profit after tax sensitivity to general movement of 1%

Monetary items, including financial asset and liabilities, denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of an operation are revalued at the end of each reporting period to its functional currency and the associated gain or loss is taken to the profit or loss.

The following chart is based on depreciation of the actual rate of US dollars to AUD, EUR, CHF, GBP and CNY as at 30 June 2025 and 2024 by 1% and applying these adjusted rates to the net monetary assets/liabilities denominated in non-functional currency of various Group entities. Amounts shown are rounded to the nearest US$m.

Translation of net investments in foreign operations – Equity sensitivity to general movement of 1%

Where the functional currency of a subsidiary is not US dollars, the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities are translated on consolidation to US dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date, and its profit or loss is translated at average exchange rates. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the FCTR in equity. The following chart is based on depreciation of the actual exchange rate of US dollars to AUD, EUR, CHF, GBP and CNY as at 30 June 2025 and 2024 by 1% and applying these adjusted rates to the net assets/liabilities (excluding investments in subsidiaries) of the foreign currency denominated financial statements of various Group entities. Amounts shown are rounded to the nearest US$m.

b. Interest Rate Risk

As at 30 June 2025, it is estimated that a general movement of one percentage point in the interest rates applicable to investments of cash and cash equivalents would have changed the Group’s profit after tax by approximately $15m (2024: $12m). This calculation is based on applying a 1% movement to the total of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents at year end.

As at 30 June 2025, it is estimated that a general movement of one percentage point in the interest rates applicable to floating rate unsecured bank loans would have changed the Group’s profit after tax by approximately $11m (2024: $16m). This calculation is based on applying a 1% movement to the total of the Group’s floating rate unsecured bank loans (excluding bank overdrafts) at year end.

The below sensitivity analysis is not representative of all the inherent foreign exchange risk as the year end exposure does not reflect the exposure during the year including transactional exposure in respect of non-functional currency revenue and expenses. The movement in the foreign exchange rates could vary from the sensitivity rate used. Further, the Group is exposed to foreign exchange volatility in emerging markets, such as Argentina, Turkey and Mexico.

Government or government-backed entities (such as hospitals) often account for a significant proportion of trade receivables. As a result, the Group carries receivables from a number of Southern European governments. The credit risk associated with trading in these countries is considered on a country-by-country basis and the Group’s trading strategy is adjusted accordingly. The factors taken into account in determining the credit risk of a particular country include recent trading experience, current economic and political conditions and the likelihood of continuing support from agencies such as the European Central Bank.

Interest-bearing liabilities and borrowings

Interest-bearing liabilities and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities and borrowings are stated at amortised cost, with any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings. 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 date.

Lease liabilities

The Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee at the lease commencement date.

The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments, extension and purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.

Financial Report

114

Notes to the Financial StatementsNotes to the Financial Statements

Note 11: Financial Risk Management continued

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a modification, such as a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities

The following table categorises the financial liabilities into relevant maturity periods, taking into account the remaining period at the reporting date and the contractual maturity date. The weighted average contractual maturity date and interest rate of interest bearing liabilities (excluding lease liabilities) as at 30 June 2025 is 11 years and 4.0% respectively (2024: 11 years and 4.2%). The amounts disclosed represent principal and interest cash flows, so they may differ from the equivalent reported amounts in the balance sheet.

The Group is in compliance with all debt covenants as at 30 June 2025.

e. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value, with the exception of the Group's fixed interest rate debt. The methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values of financial assets and liabilities are outlined by key category below.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. They are made up of cash on hand, at call deposits with bank or financial institutions and investments in money market instruments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents equals fair value, due to the liquid nature of cash.

Receivables, contract assets and payables

Carrying value of receivables, contract assets and payables with a remaining life of less than one year is deemed to equal fair value.

114

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25 115

Other financial assets

Other financial assets include equity securities (publicly traded securities) carried at fair value through OCI (FVOCI) which are not held for trading. The value of the publicly traded securities depends on the share price quoted on the corresponding stock exchange.

The Group also has investments in venture funds which are not publicly traded and are carried at fair value through the profit or loss (FVTPL). The value of the venture funds depends on the net asset value of the underlying investments and not directly on a share index.

Other financial assets also includes an earn-out receivable acquired from a past business combination. The earn-out will become due based on a variety of factors including future earnings over a period of seven years ending 30 June 2028. The receivable is classified as a financial asset and is remeasured at each reporting period at FVTPL.

Interest-bearing and other financial liabilities

The carrying amount of the interest-bearing liabilities approximates the fair value, with the exception of the Group's fixed interest rate debt. At 30 June 2025, the total fixed rate debt (excluding lease liabilities) has a carrying amount of $8,343m (2024: $8,180m) and a fair value of $7,687m (2024: $7,571m). Fair value is calculated based on the discounted expected principal and interest cash flows, using rates currently available for debt of similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

Other financial liabilities also includes contingent consideration liabilities from past business combinations. These liabilities are recorded as non-current financial liabilities at fair value (Note 14), which are then remeasured at each subsequent reporting date at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair value estimations typically depend on factors such as technical milestones or market performance, and are adjusted for the probability of their likelihood of potential future payments, and are appropriately discounted to reflect the impact of time. As at 30 June 2025, the maximum amount of undiscounted potential future milestone payments relating to historical business combinations ("contingent consideration liabilities from business combinations") are $470m (2024: $470m).

==> picture [18 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Key Judgements and Estimates

Contingent consideration liabilities are valued with reference to our judgement of the expected probability and timing of potential future milestone payments, based upon level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, which is then discounted to a present value using appropriate discount rates with reference to the Group's incremental borrowing rates.

Valuation of financial instruments

Financial instruments measured and carried at fair value are categorised as follows:

  • Level 1: Items traded with quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities

  • Level 2: Items with significantly observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets

  • Level 3: Items with unobservable inputs (not based on observable market data)

The group had the following financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

2025 2024
Financial assets/(liabilities) measured at fair value US$m US$m
Publicly traded securities – FVOCI Level 1 35 12
Venture fund assets – FVTPL Level 3 140 126
Contingent consideration assets (earn-out receivable) Level 3 28 25
Contingent consideration liabilities from business combinations Level 3 (227) (220)

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year, or any transfers into Level 3.

Total contributed equity 574 557

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where the Group reacquires its own shares, those shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income and the consideration paid to acquire the shares, including transaction costs net of income taxes is recognised directly as a reduction in equity.

Ordinary shares receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up the company, participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of and amounts paid up on shares held. Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or proxy, at a meeting of the company.

Share buy-backs were undertaken at higher prices than the original subscription prices which reduced the historical balance for ordinary share contributed equity to nil. The share buy-back reserve was created to reflect the excess value of shares bought over the original amount of subscribed capital. Information relating to changes in contributed equity is set out in Note 10.

Nature and purpose of reserves

(i) Share-based payments reserve

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the fair value of awards issued to employees.

(ii) Foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR)

Where the functional currency of a subsidiary is not US dollars, its assets and liabilities are translated on consolidation to US dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date, and its profit or loss is translated at average exchange rates. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in OCI and in the FCTR in equity.

(iii) Hedge reserve

The hedge reserve recognises the effective portion of gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedges. Amounts are subsequently reclassified into the profit or loss as appropriate.

(iv) Other reserves

The Group has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of the investments in publicly traded securities through OCI (excluding dividend income) (Note 11(e)). These changes are accumulated within the other reserves. The Group transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised (or triggered by a change of control).

b. Contingent assets and liabilities

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is exposed to contingent liabilities related to litigation for breach of contract and other claims. Contingent liabilities occur when the possibility of a future settlement of economic benefits is considered to be less than probable but more likely than remote. If the expected settlement of the liability becomes probable, a provision is recognised. Contingent liabilities recognised in connection with past business combinations are recorded within provisions at the higher of fair value and the amount recognised on acquisition date until the liability has been extinguished.

Other contingent assets and liabilities

The Group has entered into collaboration arrangements, including in-licensing arrangements with various companies. Such collaboration agreements may require the Group to make payments on achievement of stages of development, launch or revenue milestones and may include variable payments that are based on unit sales or profit (e.g. royalty and profit share payments). The amount of variable payments under the arrangements are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, given the direct link to future sales, profit levels and the range of outcomes.

The maximum potential unrecognised future milestone payments could amount to $7,749m in the event each related product reached its full commercial potential (2024: $7,835m). These amounts are undiscounted and are not risk-adjusted, which include all such possible payments that can arise assuming all products currently in development are successful and all possible performance objectives are met.

The Group also has certain take or pay arrangements with contract manufacturers or service providers which serve as commercial manufacturers and suppliers for certain products. To the extent a commitment is determined to be onerous, these are provided for within provisions in the consolidated balance sheet.

Receivables are initially recorded at their transaction price and are generally due for settlement within 30 to 60 days from date of invoice. Collectability is regularly reviewed at an operating unit level.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group recognises a provision for expected credit losses (ECL) based on a simplified approach. The Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and economic environment. When a trade receivable for which a provision for ECL has been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the provision. The following table illustrates the movement in the Group’s provision for expected credit losses.

The carrying amount of receivables and contract assets is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each class of receivable disclosed above. Refer to Note 11 for more information on the risk management policy of the Group and the credit quality of trade receivables.

As at 30 June 2025, receivables totalling $108m (2024: $123m) had been sold as part of the Group's non-recourse receivable factoring arrangements. The receivables were derecognised upon sale as substantially all risks and rewards associated with the receivables passed to the purchaser. These arrangements were transacted with non-US high quality counterparties as part of the Group's foreign exchange risk mitigation strategy (Note 11).

The completion of performance obligations often differs from contract payment schedules. A contract asset is initially recognised for revenue earned from satisfying a performance obligation. However, the receipt of consideration is conditional upon the full satisfaction of the performance obligation within the contract. Upon completing the full performance obligation, the amount recognised as contract assets is reclassified to trade receivables. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) represents amounts billed in accordance with customer contracts, but where the Group had not yet provided a good or service. These amounts are presented within trade and other payables (within accruals and other payables) and recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.

Other current receivables are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due upon an unconditional right to payment. Non-current receivables are recognised and carried at amortised cost. They are non-interest bearing and have various repayment terms.

Trade payables, accruals and other payables represents the notional amounts owed to suppliers for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid. Trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and have various repayment terms but are usually paid within 30 to 60 days of recognition.

Note 15: Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions recognised reflect our best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to settle the obligation at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.

Provisions for employee benefits includes the liability for leave entitlements, related on costs and restructuring costs where required.

Other provisions include provisions for asset retirement obligations, onerous contracts and contingent liabilities recognised in connection with past business combinations. During the year ended 30 June 2025, CSL made settlement payments in relation to certain legacy Vifor Pharma disputes. These were provided for as part of the purchase price accounting for the Vifor Pharma acquisition in the year ended 30 June 2023.

Movements in accrued benefits and plan assets

During the financial year, accrued benefits increased by $322m, mainly attributable to:

  • Service costs charged to the profit or loss of $59m;

  • Interest costs of $31m, from the discount rate on benefit obligations and anticipated benefit payments;

  • Employee contributions of $29m;

  • Actuarial adjustments, generating an increase in accrued benefits of $61m;

  • Unfavourable foreign currency movements of $196m;

  • Partly offsetting the above accrued benefit increases were benefits paid from the plans of $54m.

During the financial year, plan assets increased by $367m, mainly attributable to:

  • Employer and employee contributions of $82m and investment returns of $77m that collectively increased plan assets;

  • Favourable asset ceiling movements of $83m;

  • Favourable foreign currency movements of $175m;

Partly offsetting the above plan asset increases were benefits paid from the plans of $50m.

The variable with the most significant impact on the defined benefit obligation is the discount rate applied in the calculation of accrued benefits. A decrease in the average discount rate applied to the calculation of accrued benefits of 0.25% would increase the defined benefit obligation by $64m. An increase in the average discount rate of 0.25% would reduce the defined benefit obligation by $59m.

The defined benefit obligation will be discharged over an extended period as members exit the plans. The plan actuaries have estimated that the following payments will be required to satisfy the obligation. The actual payments will depend on the pattern of employee exits from the Group’s plans.

b. Share-based payments

Long Term Incentives

CSL has the following awards available under its shared-based payment plans:

  • The Executive Performance and Alignment Plan (EPA) grants Performance Share Units (PSU) to qualifying executives. Vesting is subject to continuing employment, satisfactory performance and achievement of absolute return measures which include EPS growth and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC).

  • The Retain and Grow Plan (RGP) grants Restricted Share Units (RSU) to qualifying employees. Participation in the RGP plan is broader than in the EPA plan. Vesting is subject to continuing employment and satisfactory performance.

EPA grants generally vest on their third anniversary. RGP grants generally vest in equal tranches on their first, second and third anniversaries of the grant. For EPA and RGP commencement benefit awards, vesting dates are reviewed and determined on a case by case basis and will vary.

A face value equity allocation methodology, being a five day volume weighted average share price based on the market price of a CSL share at the time of grant is used to determine the number of units granted to a participant. There is no exercise price payable on PSUs and RSUs. The fair value of the awards granted is estimated at the date of grant using an adjusted form of the Black-Scholes model, considering the terms and conditions upon which the PSUs and RSUs were granted. The following RGP and EPA grants were issued during the year ended 30 June 2025:

Date ofgrant PSUs RSUs
1 September 2024 230,341 829,884
1 March 2025 674 20,737

The Non-Executive Directors Plan

The Non-Executive Directors (NED) pay a minimum of 20% of their pre-tax base fee in return for a grant of rights, each right entitling a NED to acquire one CSL share at no cost (shares purchased on market). There is a nominated restriction period of three to fifteen years, after which the NED will have access to their shares. On 21 August 2024 and 19 February 2025, a total of 2,721 rights were granted under the NED Rights Plan with vesting through to August 2025.

Global Employee Share Plan

The Global Employee Share Plan (GESP) allows employees to make contributions from post-tax salary up to a maximum of A$12,000 (or equivalent) per six month contribution period. Employees receive shares at a 15% discount to the applicable market rate over the five day period up to and including the first and last ASX trading days of the six month period, whichever is the lower.

Recognition and measurement

The fair value of awards granted are recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. Fair value is independently measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the award. Fair value is independently determined using a combination of the Binomial and Black-Scholes valuation methodologies, including Monte Carlo simulation, considering the terms and conditions on which the awards were granted. The fair value of the awards granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions, which are included in assumptions about the number of awards that are expected to vest.

At each reporting date, the number of awards that are expected to vest is revised. The employee benefit expense recognised each period considers the most recent estimate of the number of awards that are expected to vest. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except where the vesting is conditional upon a market condition and that market condition is not met. The Group does not have any awards with a market condition as at 30 June 2025.

Note 20: Deed of Cross Guarantee

A deed of cross guarantee was executed between CSL Limited and some of its wholly-owned entities, namely CSL Behring (Holdings) Pty Ltd, CSL Finance Pty Ltd, Seqirus (Australia) Pty Ltd, CSL Innovation Pty Ltd, Seqirus Pty Ltd, CSL Behring (Australia) Pty Ltd, Seqirus Holdings Australia Pty Ltd and CSL IP Investments Pty Ltd. Under this deed, each company guarantees the debts of the others. By entering into the deed, these specific wholly-owned entities have been relieved from the requirement to prepare a financial report and directors’ report under Class Order 2016/785 (as amended) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

The entities that are parties to the deed represent a ‘Closed Group’ for the purposes of the Class Order, and as there are no other parties to the deed of cross guarantee that are controlled by CSL Limited, they also represent the ‘Extended Closed Group’. A consolidated income statement, balance sheet and summary of movements in retained profits for the years ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 for the Closed Group is set out below.

For information about guarantees given by the parent entity, please refer above and to Note 20.

c. Commitments and contingencies

The parent entity did not have any material contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment as at 30 June 2025 and 2024. In addition, the parent entity did not have any material contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2025 and 2024.

Note 23: Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the year ended 30 June 2025 and up to the reporting date, several transformational initiatives that will further reshape and simplify the business, renew the Group’s focus on its core strengths, and ultimately deliver greater value to stakeholders have progressed to the design or implementation phase. The estimated pre-tax one-off restructuring costs associated with these initiatives are expected to be approximately $700 – $770 million ($560 – $620 million post-tax), all to be recognised during the year ending 30 June 2026. The cash flow impact is expected to be $400 – $450 million for the year ending 30 June 2026, with a further $100 million expected for the year ending 30 June 2027.

In July 2025, the Group refinanced $200m of its bilateral credit facilities with an original maturity date of August 2025 to August 2027. As such, subsequent to the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group has reclassified the borrowings to non-current.

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in these statements and above, there are no matters or circumstances which have arisen since the end of the financial year which have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of CSL Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Opinion

We have audited the financial report of CSL Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the consolidated comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including: • Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and • Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.

135

Financial Report

Independent auditor’s report

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 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, 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. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors are responsible: • For the preparation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including giving a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Group in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards; and • For such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including giving a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Group, 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. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

CSL Limited Annual Report 2024/25

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the Group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Shareholder Information

CSL Limited

Issued Capital Ordinary Shares: 484,212,123 as at 30 June 2025; 484,212,123 as at 31 July 2025.

Details of incorporation

CSL’s activities were carried on within the Commonwealth Department of Health until the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories Commission was formed as a statutory commission pursuant to the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories Act 1961 (Cth) (the CSL Act) on 2 November 1961. On 1 April 1991, the statutory commission was converted to a public company limited by shares under the Corporations Law of the Australian Capital Territory, and it was renamed Commonwealth Serum Laboratories Limited. These changes were brought into effect by the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (Conversion into Public Company) Act 1990 (Cth). On 7 October 1991, the name was changed to CSL Limited. The Commonwealth divested all of its shares by public float on 3 June 1994.

The CSL Sale Act 1993 (Cth) amends the CSL Act to impose certain restrictions on the voting rights of persons having significant foreign shareholdings, and certain restrictions on CSL itself. CSL ordinary shares (being the only class of shares on issue) have been traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the ticker code: CSL since 30 May 1994.

In June 2014, CSL commenced a sponsored Level 1 American Depositary Receipts (ADR) program with the Bank of New York Mellon. The sponsored ADR program replaced the unsponsored ADR programs that previously operated with CSL’s involvement. The American Depositary Receipts are traded on the over‑the‑counter (OTC) securities market in the United States. Two ADRs represent one ordinary share in CSL.

The American Depositary Shares are tradeable via licensed US brokers in the ordinary course of trading in the over‑the‑counter (OTC) market in the US. Particulars for the sponsored ADR program are: US Exchange – OTC and DR Ticker Symbol – CSLLY.

Voting rights

Ordinary shares

At a general meeting, subject to restrictions imposed on significant foreign shareholdings and some other minor exceptions, on a show of hands, each shareholder present has one vote. On a poll, each shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for each fully paid share held.

In accordance with the CSL Act, CSL’s Constitution provides that the votes attaching to significant foreign shareholdings are not to be counted when they pertain to the appointment, removal or replacement of more than one‑third of the directors of CSL who hold office at any particular time. A significant foreign shareholding is one where a foreign person has a relevant interest in 5% or more of CSL’s voting shares.

Glossary

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a complication after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant where the newly transplanted cells attack the recipient's tissues, leading to inflammation and organ damage.

Adjuvant is a substance which enhances the body's immune response to an antigen. Albumin is any protein that is soluble in water and moderately concentrated salt solutions and is coagulable by heat. It is found in egg whites, blood, lymph, and other tissues and fluids. In the human body, serum albumin is the major plasma protein (approximately 60% of the total). Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency is an inherited disorder that may cause lung disease and liver disease. Angiotensin is a hormone that tightens blood vessels, helping regulate blood pressure by controlling how much blood flows through them. Cell-based (technology) for the manufacture of influenza vaccines, is a process of growing viruses in animal cells. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) a progressive condition where the kidneys lose function over time, leading to complications like high blood pressure and anaemia. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder which causes gradual weakness and a loss in sensation mainly in the arms and legs.

Coagulation is the process of clot formation. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus SARS‑CoV‑Z. Endothelin is a protein in the body that affects blood vessel narrowing and widening, which in turn impacts blood pressure and blood flow. Greenhouse gas (GHG) are gases in the atmosphere that raise the surface temperature on Earth. What distinguishes them from other gases is that they absorb the wavelengths of radiation that a planet emits, resulting in the greenhouse effect. Haemophilia is a haemorrhagic cluster of diseases occurring in two main forms – Haemophilia A (classic haemophilia, factor VIII deficiency). an X linked disorder due to deficiency of coagulation factor VIII. – Haemophilia B (factor IX deficiency, Christmas disease), also X linked, due to deficiency of coagulation factor IX. Haemostasis is the body's process of stopping bleeding after an injury; it involves blood vessel constriction, platelet activation, and blood clot formation. Haematocrit the percentage of red blood cells in a person's blood. Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare but serious genetic disorder caused by low levels or improper function of a protein called Ci‑esterase inhibitor. It causes swelling, particularly of the face and airways, and abdominal cramping.

Immunoglobulins (Ig) , also known as antibodies, are proteins produced by plasma cells. They are designed to control the body's immune response by binding to substances in the body that are recognised as foreign antigens (often proteins on the surface of bacteria or viruses).

Influenza , commonly known as flu, is an infectious disease of birds and mammals caused by an RNA virus of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses).

Interleukin a group of cytokines produced by leucocytes (white blood cells) and other body cells for regulating immune responses.

Intermediate–high risk (sub-massive) pulmonary embolism refers to a condition where a blood clot partially blocks one of more arteries in the lungs, causing symptoms that are more severe than those of a small clot but less severe than those of a massive clot, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and an increased risk of complications such as heart strain.

Intravenous is the administration of drugs or fluids directly into a vein.

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is an antibody produced by a single clone of cells. Monoclonal antibodies are a cornerstone of immunology and are increasingly coming into use as therapeutic agents.

Pandemic is the worldwide spread of a disease.

Pharmacovigilance is the practice of monitoring the effects of medical drugs after they have been licensed for use, especially in order to identify and evaluate previously unreported adverse reactions.

Plasma is the yellow‑coloured liquid component of blood in which blood cells are suspended.

Primary immunodeficiency (PID) is an inherited condition where there is an impaired immune response. It may be in one or more aspects of the immune system.

Forward-looking statements: This report contains forward‑looking statements, including statements with respect to future company compliance and performance. This report also includes forward‑looking statements regarding climate change and other environmental and energy transition scenarios, such as biodiversity. While these forward‑looking statements reflect CSL’s expectations at the date of this report, they are not guarantees or predictions of future performance. Many factors could cause the Group’s actual results, performances or achievements to differ, possibly materially, from those expressed in the forward‑looking statements. These factors include changes in government and policy; actions of regulatory bodies and other governmental authorities such as changes in taxation or regulation (or approvals under regulation); the effect of economic conditions; technological developments in the healthcare field including the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI); advances in environmental protection processes; and geopolitical developments. There are also limitations with respect to scenario analysis, and it is difficult to predict which, if any, of the scenarios might eventuate. Scenario analysis is not an indication of probable outcomes and relies on assumptions that may or may not prove to be correct or eventuate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward‑looking statements. Except as required by applicable laws or regulations, CSL does not undertake to publicly update or review any forward‑looking statements. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.
