Fletcher Building Investor Day
Fletcher Building Limited, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand
24 June 2025
Fletcher Building Investor Day
Fletcher Building is hosting its Investor Day 2025 in Auckland today, starting at 9.00am
NZT.
Fletcher Building management will outline the strategy and outlook for the Company. Key
topics to be covered will include the strategic review outcomes and immediate priorities,
balance sheet settings and capital allocation and trading conditions and FY25 update.
Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer Andrew Reding noted that
“Following the completion of our strategic review, the purpose of the Investor Day is to
update our shareholders and stakeholders on our strategic focus on the manufacturing
and distribution of building products, our medium term strategies, the immediate actions
we have already taken and the key levers we will be using to drive our performance going
forward.”
In relation to the FY25 outlook, Mr Reding said: “We expect FY25 EBIT (before Significant
Items) to be in the range of $370m to $375m inclusive of the $16.4m loss incurred as a
consequence of the settlement reached with NZTA in relation to the P2W project that was
disclosed on 20 June (or $386.4m to $391.4m excluding the P2W settlement impact).
Given ongoing market volatility, this guidance remains subject to market conditions for
the remainder of the month, including in relation to the timing of house settlements in the
Residential and Development Division.”
With respect to Significant Items, the Company provides the following update:
• At the HY25 results, $251m of Significant Items were announced relating primarily to
Iplex Australia pipes ($177m) and the Tradelink disposal ($58m).
• In June, an expected provision of ~$12m to ~$15m on the increased cost to complete
the New Zealand International Convention Centre was announced.
• In addition to the Significant Items already announced:
– ~$10m to ~$15m is expected to be incurred in relation to defending construction
legacy and Western Australia plumbing issues.
– As a result of the strategic review actions taken, additional non-cash Significant
Items of between ~$250m and ~$440m and cash Significant Items of between
~$50m and ~$60m are expected in FY25, which will be finalised as part of year end
reporting. These will primarily relate to restructuring and redundancy costs,
goodwill and brand impairments, closure costs and the write off and provision for
onerous contracts associated with ERP projects.
Altogether the total Significant Items to be announced as part of the FY25 results are
expected to be between ~$573m and ~$781m.
The presentation materials are attached and are also available on

Introduction
Andrew Reding, Managing
Director & CEO
Why I took the role
Energised by the opportunity to realise the value of the great businesses within our Group
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited10
Under-appreciated assets with portfolio
•There is a significant opportunity to help rejuvenate a business with substantial latent potential
•The core businesses continue to perform, but this achievement has been clouded by the Group structure and
under-performance of specific business units
•Fletcher Building is an important company in New Zealand and helping return it to a strong footing will have a
greater impact than financial outcomes alone
Empowering great people
•Fletcher Building’s business units have great people and continue to attract strong talent
•Our empowered business unit leaders will have more autonomy, control and accountability
Our medium term strategy
Four internal levers together with external market dynamics will drive our performance

How our strategy will deliver
We have the ingredients to build on strong competitive positions with a leaner cohort of BUs, lead by focussed GMs
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited12
Strong competitive positions and brand equity (GIB, Winstone Aggregates, Golden Bay, PlaceMakers, Iplex, Laminex)
•Unique assets that cannot be easily replicated, but can be improved with ongoing commitment to customers
Efficient, well capitalised manufacturing facilities
•Where the focus will constantly be on operational excellence, profitability and capital efficiency
A performance culture with empowered leaders
•The operating model changes give General Managers the tools to
succeed and accountability if they don’t
•High performing strategic business units
•Market position, operational and capital
discipline and high calibre leadership
Immediate actions
Andrew Reding, Managing
Director & CEO
Urgently moving forward with the turnaround
The strategic review identified immediate priorities that we are already executing on
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited14
•Completed a comprehensive, in-depth review of all business unit’s performance through the cycle, and their strategic fit
•Identified business units that have not achieved WACC returns and/or are non-strategic
•Plans under development to improve and retain, or exit, underperforming and/or non-strategic business units
Strategic review
•Disestablished Australian and Steel Divisions and allocated business units back to sector-specific divisions
•Corporate has been restructured
•~$15m of annualised structural cost savings
Immediate
Divisional
opportunities
•~$200m of total gross cost savings achieved across FY25
•Clever Core shut down
•MADE by Laminex shut down
•Closure of Laminex Monkland
•Restructure of Group information technology functions
•CSP divestment underway
•New insurance structure negotiated and to be launched in FY26 (~15%-25% like-for-like reduction in premiums)
Other “no regrets”
Cost savings
•PlaceMakersFrame & Truss repurposed to former Clever Core site (saves capex, releases excess property for sale)
•SAP programme stopped
•Exiting industrial land development
•Significant capex saving from stopping further spend on new Steel distribution centre
Other “no regrets”
Capital savings
Disestablishment of Australian Division
Organising in verticals has created significant cost synergies and will improve coordination

FY19 –FY25, (incl. Sig Items, ex associate income), LHS % EBIT Margin, RHS $M Divisional costs,
•Australian divisional costs increased materially since
2019, to a level similar to divisional costs for all NZ
manufacturing and distribution businesses combined
•Allocating business units into sector-specific divisions
reduces costs, enables greater integration & potential
synergies, while maintaining diversification benefits
from exposure to a larger, faster growing market
•These businesses need to deliver acceptable through
cycle returns compared to theircost of capital or they
will not fit in the portfolio in the medium term

operational leaders
Andrew Reding, Managing
Director & CEO
Issues with a centralised operating model
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited28
A centralised approach did not deliver anticipated gains and decreased the agility of business unit management
•The concentration of decision-making power at the centre has resulted in less agility when
responding to market changes, customer demands and competitor actions
Slower decision making
•Corporate and divisional levels both add material cost and headcount to profit-making business
units and have not always provided “value for money” with leadership/managerial oversight
Unnecessary layers and
costs
•Blurred decision-making lines and limited autonomy for business unit and divisional
management has led to a lack of accountability for both performance and risk
Lack of accountability
•In an attempt to standardise operations, business units were encumbered by reporting
structures and systems that were inappropriate for the specific industry sector or size of the
business unit
One size fits all approach
to governance and
systems
New decentralised model
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited29
Accountability shifts towards business units. Each management layer has designated roles and distinct capabilities
Business Units

chains and differentiate to become market

point the dividend policy will be reviewed and communicated to the market
Shareholder distributions
•Increased focus on forecasting and ensuring growth capex in particular is correctly sized
Capital expenditure
•Continue to analyse the land portfolio and where possible release capital from excess holdings and/or
inefficient sites
•Optimise timing and conditions of any future Residential and Development land purchases
Land acquisition &

FUTURE TARGET STATE
Disciplined Capital Allocation
Capital expenditure is crucial to ongoing sustainment of earnings and growth, but is subject to well defined controls
both prior to commitment and during project execution
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited39
•Stay in business and growth capex (organic or
external) are all subject to a staged approval process
•Prior to commitment, a project goes through a formal
committee approval process prior to final CEO or
Board approval (depending on size)
– CEO approval required for projects between $1m-
$10m
– Board approval required for projects >$10m
•Hurdle rates specific and appropriate to the industry
in which the business unit operates are applied as
part of the approval process
– Will be aligned to group and divisional ROIC targets

| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited40
•Where SIB investment is required to
support business units with ageing,
(predominately depreciated) assets
it will be appropriately scaled and
phased through time. We will also
review local manufacture vs import
•Winstone Wallboards and the
acquisitions of WaipapaTimber and
Tumu were responsible for the
majority of growth-related
expenditure up to FY23
•From FY23 onwards, expenditure on
Laminex’s OSB manufacturing facility
in Taupo has been the largest
consumer of growth capex
•Historically SIB has remained close
to DD&A and the intention is to
remain at that level

Working Capital Strategy
Close management of working capital will remain a key part of the overall financial strategy
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited41
•Fletcher Building operates large
working capital balances and over the
course of a financial year significant
cash movements can occur
•There has always been a focus on
working capital management, with an
emphasis on year-end cash flows, but
greater focus will be put on reducing
volatility (where commercially viable)
•The Residential and Development and
Construction Divisions have a
substantial impact on intra-year
volatility

Cement manufacturing occurs in two stages: production of clinker from
raw materials; and grinding of clinker to produce cement for distribution
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited5
Clinker production is an emissions intensive process:
1. Thermal energy: ~35% of current process emissions (addressable by Golden Bay)
2. Limestone chemical reaction ~65% of current process emissions (hard-to-abate, requires industry focus e.g. carbon capture)
Clinker productionCement production & distribution
Golden Bay’s use of waste-derived alternative fuels is industry leading
and we play a significant role in waste diversion for NZ

What Golden Bay is
doing:
•Current coal
substitution rates of
>60% are industry
leading
•Growing the use of
waste-derived in
alternative fuels & raw
materials
•Target of being coal
free by 2030+
What Golden Bay is doing:
•Increasing the use of supplementary cementitious
materials to reduce clinker factor
•Leveraging downstream network with Firth to drive
market uptake of low carbon cement
What Golden Bay is doing:
•Renewable geothermal power purchase agreement (PPA)
in place with Ngāwhā Generation (Top Energy)
•Direct landfill gas-to-energy electricity offtake agreement
with Northland Waste
What Golden Bay is doing:
•Supporting small-scale carbon capture
pilot trial currently at Portland
•Exploring future commercial
opportunities for carbon offtake
What Firth is doing:
•Increasing the use of recycled aggregates and
admixtures to allow reduced clinker factor
•Trial of electric readymix truck bowls
What the Division is doing:
•Use of innovative foundation systems (Firth
RibRaft, X-Pod) to do more with less
•Ongoing trials to test and improve low-carbon
readymix, precast and masonry applications
Current Emissions Trading Scheme settings are uncertain, preventing
significant investments in decarbonisation
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited8
Manufacturing of clinker and cement are qualifying activities under the Emissions Trading Scheme (‘ETS’), therefore Golden Bay has historically
received Industrial Allocations (IA’s) of carbon units (NZU) annually based on an allocative baseline, representing the emissions intensity of the
NZ cement manufacturing industry.
The Climate Change Response (Late Payment Penalties and Industrial Allocation) Amendment Act 2023 introduced uncertainty, preventing
significant investment in decarbonisation initiatives.
Issue 1: Disincentivising accelerated decarbonisation
Re-baselining against own activity and potentially every 5-years
Issue 2: Local manufacturing has a cost of carbon while importers do not –“a level playing field”
Establishment of a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (‘CBAM’) achieving import carbon price parity
1
2
We are committed to decarbonising cement & concrete, and we want to remain
manufacturing in NZ, but we cannot deploy significant capital with regulatory
uncertainty
| Investor Day | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited9
Positive Government engagement to date–decarbonisation
without deindustrialisation
Significant investment in decarbonising local manufacturing is not
viable without certainty, a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
will be in place in the medium-term
Given regulatory settings, we have reviewed our capital plans for
Golden Bay.
Over FY27-30, GB intends to deploy ~$70-80m allowing greater
use of SCMs to continue to decarbonise our offering and provide
capacity to meet demand.
The current investment plan retains flexibility to remain a
domestic manufacturer or transition to an import model.

OSB and
FOSB
JUNE 2025
The future of engineered wood
products
OSB is a reconstituted wood panel formed by layering
wood strands together at specific orientations to achieve
structural properties of plywood at a reduced
manufacturing cost
FOSB is a wood panel with an OSB core and ‘fine’ surface
layers; this provides a board with a surface finish similar
to MDF but enhanced structural integrity
Oriented strand board (OSB)
Fine OSB (FOSB)
What is OSB and FOSB?
| Investor Day -OSB | 24 June 2025 | Fletcher Building Limited2
Why OSB?
OSB is a ubiquitous building product in North America and Europe, on par with structural plywood. In Asia, OSB
consumption is rapidly growing (10yr CAGR: 28%) and displacing structural plywood as observed in other geographies
