  • Competitive dynamics compressed metal margins

  • Morley integration on track

Global E-Recycling

  • Sims Municipal Recycling near breakeven underlying EBIT compared to $8.1 million for the prior year -largely due to a collapse in paper price

  • Underlying EBIT of $24.8 million, up 24.0% over prior year due to strong second half performance

  • Better performance in the US, but ongoing margin pressure in Continental Europe

Australia & New Zealand Metals

JVs

  • Underlying EBIT of $83.4 million, up 33.0% over prior year

  • Sales volume growth of 2.4%

  • Consistent EBIT Q2 through Q4 performance despite some volatility in sales volumes

  • China ban on category 7 imports effective January 2018 had little impact on overall sales

  • Trade tensions emerged in second half:

  • US steel tariffs on China and Turkey

  • Retaliatory tariffs by China on aluminium

  • One month suspension on inspections by China on US exports

  • Our advanced and newly installed technology more finely separates these metals into Twitch (aluminium) and Heavies

  • Selling these metals separately as Twitch, Red Heavies and Grey heavies, yields a significant price premium over Zorba

Turkey: Global diversity and quality customers provides business resilience

Business continues with Turkey

  • Currently providing scrap to Turkey

  • Letters of credit are being opened and confirmed

Limited impact to Turkey from US steel tariffs

  • Turkey currently exports approximately 7% of its steel production to the US[1]

Alternative markets

  • Scrap is a globally traded commodity

  • Sims sells scrap to over 30 countries

Expected impact

  • Some downward pressure on steel and scrap prices

  • Reduction in Turkey’s domestic demand not significant to world production

==> picture [239 x 298] intentionally omitted <==

1) January-to-June 2018

21

FY19 Priorities:

Priorities balance growth with enhancing the existing business

Capital Projects

  • Commissioning of investments in high-returning capital projects

  • Continued disciplined approach to executing projects

Improving Capability

  • People, culture and leadership

  • Data management

  • Safety

  • Excellence in Sustainability technology

Continuous Improvement

  • Develop Continuous Improvement methodology and discipline across all functions and operations

  • Enhance key internal systems and practices that will support growth

Growth Objectives

  • Continue to geographically diversify sales markets

  • Identify opportunities to grow the metals recycling business

  • Complete detailed strategic review and capital allocation priorities

22

Conclusion & Outlook:

Strong earnings delivered and attractive long-term growth outlook

FY18 Highlights

  • Solid improvement in safety performance

  • Underlying EBIT of $279.2 million, 53.1% higher than $182.4 million in the prior year

  • Underlying Return on Capital of 10.3% - exceeding the 5-year target of 10.0%

Outlook

  • Potential exists for negative consequences from increasing escalation of trade wars

  • Provided Turkey does not deteriorate dramatically from today, it presents manageable short-term challenges with little medium-term impact

  • Geographic diversity and global trading capability enables Sims to respond to market changes

  • China’s demand for quality non-ferrous product appears likely to continue, over the longer-term we see this as an opportunity for greater margin extraction and expanded product offerings

  • At present, intake volumes remain firm, despite softer prices across ferrous & non-ferrous

  • Based on current market conditions and outlook, we expect 1Q FY19 EBIT to be consistent with 4Q FY18 EBIT
