Agenda
It has been an eventful first half of FY23 at Vulcan, including
the purchase of Ullrich Aluminium, the largest acquisition
our company has made in its history.
Our business performed well despite an expected more
testing environment than our last financial year. Vulcan’s
1H FY23 results still represent one of the best periods for our
company after a record FY22. The team at Vulcan have the
tools, skills and experience to thrive through challenging
conditions on our journey of growth.
We are excited by the opportunities to create long-term
value for all of our stakeholders.

VULCAN.COVULCAN INTERIM REPORT 2023 PRESENTATION
• Revenue lift in 1H FY23 included first-time contribution from
our acquired aluminium business and 9% year-on-year (YoY)
increase in our Steel and other Metals operations
• Excluding aluminium, overall average revenue per tonne was
up 28% YoY in 1H FY23, while volume declined by 15% YoY
• Underlying active trading accounts in 1H FY23 improved
since FY22
• Overall gross profit dollar per tonne improved 30% due to
more favourable revenue mix. Overall gross margin percentage
declined 5.4% YoY to 35.9% in 1H FY23 due to higher product
costs and selling prices
• Adjusted EBITDA was down slightly in 1H FY23, with the decline
in pre-existing operations offset by NZ$23m contribution from
our acquired aluminium business
• The YoY decline in 1H FY23 operating cash flow was due
to increased investment in inventory
• Rolling 12-months ROCE declined to 24.0% in 1H FY23 from 35.9%
in 1H FY22 due to the acquisition of our aluminium business, the
timing of working capital movements and lower earnings in our
Steel and Metals businesses

& Guidance

VULCAN.COVULCAN INTERIM REPORT 2023 PRESENTATION
Outlook
• As outlined in August last year with our full year FY22 results, we
expected the present financial year to be more challenging as the
market begins to normalise from peak demand trading conditions
arising from COVID-19, and as economic headwinds including higher
interest rates begin to impact on the wider economy and our business
• While we are encouraged by our margin performance, the demand
conditions observed in 1H FY23 are not expected to materially improve
in 2H FY23 across the Australian and New Zealand markets
• With current monetary policy settings, current business conditions
and the uncertainty surrounding New Zealand’s national election in
October 2023, there are risks of further weakening in the New Zealand
economy
• The recent weather-related events in the northern region of
New Zealand may cause ongoing disruption to trading activity in
the short term
• There remains ongoing inflation pressure on our operating cost base
across Australia and New Zealand.
• The demand for steel and metal products globally in 2023 is expected
to increase from levels observed in 2022, as business activity in China
begins to recover from COVID-19
• Our aluminium business has performed well. Our goal is to maintain
the present momentum in the remainder of FY23
Outlook & Guidance
Earnings Guidance
• Based on current view of market conditions and recent trading,
we have narrowed our FY23 EBITDA guidance range to NZ$215m -
NZ$230m from previously NZ$215m - NZ$235m.
• Combined with depreciation and amortisation and funding costs,
we expect NPAT to be between NZ$95m and NZ$109m from previously
NZ$93m -NZ$107m.
• With the ongoing economic and market volatility, we will update our
guidance as appropriate.
