Introduction

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the GrainCorp Annual General Meeting for FY23. My name is Peter Richards and I am the Chairman of your company.

FY23 was another outstanding year for GrainCorp. We continued to execute on our strategy and delivered our second strongest ever result, driven by outstanding supply chain execution which enabled us to handle high grain volumes and capitalise on continued strong demand for Australian commodities.

The resilience of our team and network was once again evident in managing the disruptions caused by severe flooding

across New South Wales and Victoria in early 2023.

We are now four and a half months into the 2024 financial year. As Robert will discuss shortly, the 2023/24 ECA winter harvest was a tale of two halves, with lower production volumes in northern growing regions offset by above average output in Victoria and southern NSW.

This morning, I look forward to updating you on our financial and operational achievements, capital management and shareholder returns, and our Board succession process.

I will then pass to our Managing Director & CEO, Robert Spurway for a more detailed review of our FY23 achievements and an update on priorities and outlook for FY24.

Safety

Before moving to our financial and operational results, I would like to focus on safety at GrainCorp.

It is with great sadness we reflect on the fatality at our receival site in Moree, NSW. The impact of the death of our colleague has reverberated across GrainCorp. Starting with the Board of Directors and cascading down throughout the Company, it is our individual and collective responsibility to ensure that every GrainCorp employee returns home to their family at the end of every day. Tragically, we did not achieve this aim. My Board colleagues and I, together with the Management team, remain resolute in embedding a strong safety culture and in driving our goal of ‘zero harm’ to our people. This incident demonstrates that safety is a constant and continuing commitment and that there is always more work to be done.

FY23 Highlights

Now, moving to some of the operational and financial highlights for FY23.

The Company delivered earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $565 million and Net Profit After Tax of $250 million.

In Agribusiness, we handled more than 37mmt of grain and achieved our second highest ever domestic outload, while our processing division crushed a record volume of canola. I am pleased to report our FY23 return on invested capital was 18.6%.

We also progressed several exciting growth opportunities, including the proposed acquisition of Performance Feeds and Nutrition Services Associates in November 2023, and several investments through our corporate venture capital program, GrainCorp Ventures. Robert will provide more detail on our strategy execution and priorities shortly.

Capital management and shareholder returns

FY23 was another strong year of cash generation for GrainCorp, resulting in a core cash position of $349 million at 30 September 2023, up from $177 million the previous year.

==> picture [596 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

The excellent financial performance in FY23 allowed the Board to declare a final dividend of 30 cents per share, fully franked, bringing total ordinary and special dividends for FY23 to 54cps. This payout is consistent with both FY22 and our dividend policy of paying out between 50 – 70% of “through the cycle” NPAT, continuing the Board’s strong focus on providing returns to shareholders.

We have also committed to returning an additional $50 million to shareholder through a share buy-back, which is anticipated to commence towards the second half of FY24.

We are confident that our strong core cash position and robust capital management framework will facilitate ongoing investment in our core business, and in our growth strategies, and allow shareholder returns to be maintained through the cycle.

Sustainability

Turning to Sustainability.

In 2022 we established a new Board Sustainability Committee (BSC), with our Board colleague Clive Stiff appointed as Chair. In the Committee’s first full year of operating, the BSC worked closely with our Management team on the areas of sustainability most relevant to GrainCorp, to ensure that sustainability considerations form an integrated part of our strategic, financial and operational decisions.

Looking forward, we will maintain our focus on the priority areas of Responsible Sourcing, Climate, and on the Environmental Impacts of our Operations. We will continue to enhance our data quality, collection, and management to facilitate a greater understanding of these key areas and promote better decision making prioritisation.

Robert will discuss some of our FY23 sustainability achievements shortly.

Community

GrainCorp’s success as a business relies on thriving and vibrant rural and regional communities. We seek to contribute to the social connection of these communities by investing in the local infrastructure and community initiatives that bring people together.

In its second year of operation, the GrainCorp Community Foundation (GCF) supported more than 140 community groups and 150,000, members in regional and rural communities across Australia.

We were pleased with our success in the first year of our Corporate Partnerships Program. In July 2023 we entered into a three-year partnership with GO Foundation, an Aboriginal led and governed organisation providing education scholarships to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

I am also delighted to announce our recent partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), which provides accommodation and support to the families of seriously ill or injured children, living in remote, regional areas.

Board

Finally, I would like to touch on Board renewal. We regularly review our Board’s composition to ensure we have the right mix of skills, experience and attributes.

In December 2023, we appointed two new directors to the Board, Peter Knoblanche and John Maher. Both were appointed following an extensive search and each adds to and complements the Board’s existing skillset to ensure the effective governance of GrainCorp into the future.

Peter has a deep understanding of strategy, agribusiness, funding, commodity trading and risk management. Most recently, he was Regional Manager of Australia & New Zealand and CEO Australia for Rabobank.

John’s experience extends across strategy, capital allocation, agribusiness growth and innovation and agriculture supply chains. His previous roles included Managing Director & CEO of RuralCo Holdings and, most recently, was CEO of the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation.

Page 2

The Board unanimously recommends the election of Peter and John by shareholders today.

I would also like to take a moment to recognise Dan Mangelsdorf, who, at the conclusion of this meeting, will retire from the GrainCorp Board after 19 years.

During Dan’s tenure, GrainCorp has undergone countless changes and his experience, knowledge and expertise have been invaluable to the Board and the Company during that time. Dan’s passion for Australian agriculture has served as a constant reminder to his fellow directors of the potential, the opportunities and the significant responsibilities that our Company has in supporting this vibrant industry.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Dan for his significant contribution and wish him all the success with his future endeavours in agriculture and beyond.

Conclusion

It remains a privilege to Chair this dynamic company and connect Australian agriculture with the world.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our people for their commitment to delivering for our customers in what has been another very busy year for GrainCorp. The sustainable operational improvements achieved across our business are a testament to their dedication and expertise and leave our business well-positioned for FY24.

Thanks also to Robert and the rest of the senior management team for their ongoing hard work in continuing to drive the execution of our strategy.

I would also like to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support.

Finally, before handing over to Robert, I would like to share a short video reflecting on GrainCorp’s core values, which we refreshed during 2023. These values set the tone for how we operate to achieve our goals and underpin why we remain well positioned to support growers, our customers, suppliers and the communities in which we operate into the future.

14 February 2024

Introduction

Thank you, Peter and good morning everyone, it is a pleasure to join you today.

This morning, I will:

  • Further reflect on our operational and financial performance for FY23;

  • Provide an update on how we continue to deliver on our strategy;

  • Highlight our sustainability achievements in FY23;

  • Provide an update on the 2023/24 ECA winter harvest and outlook and earnings guidance for FY24.

I would like start by echoing Peter’s comments and conveying our sincere condolences to the family and friends of our colleague fatally injured in a truck accident at Moree in in April 2023. Incidents like this underpin why we continue to strive for zero harm every day.

We have and are continuing to invest in safety initiatives across our business and are making consistent progress in key lead and lag indicators.

Outstanding financial and operational results

Turning now to some of the operational and financial highlights from the year. As the Chair noted, GrainCorp delivered another excellent financial result in FY23, with EBITDA of $565 million and net profit after tax of $250 million.

Performance in our Agribusiness segment was driven by positive cropping conditions, operating efficiencies and strong demand.

East Coast Australia (ECA) handled a total of 37.4mmt of grain, compared to 41.1mmt in the prior year, and again demonstrated the value of our infrastructure assets and our ability to move grain efficiently across the supply chain.

In the Processing segment, Oilseeds had another record year, with crush volumes of 496kmt, while also benefitting from favourable gross crush margins.

We continued disciplined investment in our growth strategy, targeting areas complementary to our existing profile and where GrainCorp has a right to win.

In summary, FY23 was another great year for the company as we continued to deliver for growers, customers and shareholders.

We closed FY23 in a strong financial position, with a $349m core cash position. In addition, gross proceeds of $127m were received on 15 November 2023 from the sale of United Malt Group to Malteries Soufflet.

Strategy

Turning to our Strategy.

This slide will be familiar to many of you. It shows our vision and purpose, centred on delivering for growers and customers to create sustained shareholder value.

To achieve this, we focus on two key strategic priorities: strengthening the core of our business – that is driving our existing assets harder and more efficiently – and the disciplined pursuit of value-add growth opportunities. I am pleased with our ability to continue delivering on this this strategy.

Strengthening the core

We have continued to invest in our assets. In the ECA network, we implemented initiatives which allowed us to reduce truck turnaround times and improve the grower experience. This enabled our network to capitalise on another bumper

==> picture [596 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

crop. We continued to improve the utilisation of our port assets, and in FY23 bulk materials provided a record EBITDA contribution.

Our processing business achieved a record result in FY23, driven by our oilseeds business. Disciplined investment and the integration of advanced analytics into our processing plants supported record crush volumes.

As well as improving the performance of our assets, we are committed to driving efficiencies in our systems. The GrainCorp Nutrition and Energy integration has already unlocked internal synergies and improved customer experiences, with more to come.

We remain focused on maximising our return on invested capital by optimising the contribution of all our business assets. In FY23 we commenced a strategic review of our underperforming food asset in NZ, while in Canada we recapitalised our joint venture, GrainsConnect Canada.

Targeted growth opportunities

Moving onto our second strategic pillar, we progressed several growth opportunities this year, some of which are listed on the slide.

Positive steps were taken to identify Western Australia as the preferred location for a new oilseed crush plant. We are in ongoing conversations with upstream and downstream partners, and this remains a priority for GrainCorp.

We recently announced the intended acquisition of Performance Feeds and Nutrition Services Associates, which demonstrates our propensity for disciplined investment in high quality, value accretive businesses. This proposed transaction not only adds deep industry knowledge to an already experienced team, but it also provides ongoing earnings diversification.

In Digital and AgTech, we continued investing in emerging and innovative technologies that support the long-term, sustainable growth of Australian agriculture.

Sustainability and ESG

I will now turn to sustainability and ESG, which is embedded across both of our strategic pillars, as we aim to build a sustainable and inclusive value chain by partnering with customers, suppliers, communities, and other industry stakeholders.

This slide provides a snapshot of the progress we made in FY23.

At an operational level, we reduced our GHG emissions on a per-tonne of production at our processing sites.

We also continue to develop our approach to financial and other disclosures around climate and emissions. During FY23, we committed to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and will be submitting targets for Scope 1,2 and 3 emissions reduction – this will be a priority workstream for FY24. Importantly, the SBTi project incorporates our commitment to no deforestation across our primary deforestation-linked commodities by the end of 2025.

Other notable successes for our teams during the year included the conditional endorsement of our ‘Innovate’ level Reconciliation Action Plan by Reconciliation Australia and the further narrowing of the gender pay gap at GrainCorp. We were proud to support more than 140 community groups through our GrainCorp community foundation.

Looking ahead, we recognise sustainability is a constantly evolving area requiring focus, time and effort across our business. In FY24, we will continue to adapt our approach to reflect the latest science, innovation, technologies, and stakeholder expectations.

2023/24 ECA harvest update

Moving to the current crop for FY24.

After several bumper crops, 2023/24 ECA grain production has moderated towards average levels, with ABARES estimating a 2023/24 ECA winter crop of 21.7mmt, compared to the 10-year average of 21.6mmt.

We have seen crop production vary quite notably by region. Favourable growing conditions in Victoria and southern NSW are in contrast with lower production in Queensland and northern NSW. Notably, several of our receival sites across Victoria recorded their best-ever season.

As of this week, we have received 8.5mmt of grain into our network during the FY23/24 harvest period, compared to 11.9mmt last year). Year-to-date export volumes are 1.7mmt, compared to 3.0mmt to last year. We are forecasting full year exports of between 4.5-5.5mmt.

GrainCorp carry-in from FY23 of 3.9mmt will support domestic outloads and exports.

Growers will be pleased that significant summer rainfall in several regions has boosted soil moisture in many areas, which is supporting summer crop prospects and winter crop planting.

Outlook

I would like to finish with our financial guidance and outlook for FY24.

We expect to report underlying EBITDA of between $270-310 million and underlying net profit after tax of $65-$95 million. This guidance range excludes costs associated with our systems transformation.

Turning to business segment results. As we have mentioned, the integration of Feeds, Fats and Oils into the Processing side of the business, which at an operational level is well established, will form part of our financial reporting from our 2024 half-year results onwards.

Outlook for our Agribusiness segment, which going forward will consist of ECA and International, reflects an average ECA winter crop and a normalisation of margins across ECA. We expect international demand for Australian grain to continue.

Performance of our Nutrition and Energy segment is expected to be underpinned by our oilseeds business as we continue to drive efficiencies at our crush plants. We expect crush utilisation to remain strong, driven by underlying demand for vegetable oils and renewable fuel feedstocks, while margins are expected to moderate from FY23 levels.

Our strategic growth initiatives in agri-energy remain an area of focus for GrainCorp, including the ongoing feasibility study of the new crush facility in Western Australia which represents an exciting opportunity for GrainCorp to support Australian growers who produce valuable feedstocks like canola for crop-based oils.

As a leading biofuel feedstock supplier, GrainCorp is briefing the Federal Government on the role that agriculture can play and supporting policy development in respect of onshore sustainable fuel refining capability for the aviation sector.

We also have embarked on a systems transformation program to unlock efficiencies in how we operate as a business. The details of the program will be shared when the final business case is approved by our Board.

In summary, we are well placed to execute on our long-term strategy, meaning we can continue delivering high levels of customer service and provide through-the-cycle value to shareholders.

Conclusion

I would like to conclude by thanking the entire GrainCorp team for their effort and contributions throughout the year, and thank growers, customers and our shareholders for your ongoing support.
