Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including
statements regarding: trends in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; demand for commodities; plans, strategies and objectives of management; closure or divestment of certain operations or facilities (including associated costs); anticipated
production or construction commencement dates; capital costs and scheduling; operating costs and shortages of materials and skilled employees; anticipated productive lives of projects, mines and facilities; provisions and contingent liabilities; tax
and regulatory developments.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology including, but not limited to, intend,
aim, project, anticipate, estimate, plan, believe, expect, may, should, will, continue, annualised or
similar words. These statements discuss future expectations concerning the results of operations or financial condition, or provide other forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees or predictions of future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors,
many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this presentation. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
For example, future revenues from our operations, projects or mines described in this presentation will be based, in part, upon the market price of the minerals,
metals or petroleum produced, which may vary significantly from current levels. These variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or
mines, or the continuation of existing operations.
Other factors that may affect the actual construction or production commencement dates, costs or production
output and anticipated lives of operations, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and transport the minerals, petroleum and/or metals extracted to applicable markets; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the
market prices of the minerals, petroleum or metals we produce; activities of government authorities in some of the countries where we are exploring or developing these projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes, changes in
environmental and other regulations and political uncertainty; labour unrest; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in BHPs filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) (including in Annual
Reports on Form 20-F) which are available on the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
Except as required by applicable
regulations or by law, the Group does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events.
Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.

IFRS 16 leases: overview
Operating lease commitments brought onto balance sheet from 1 July 2019
Effective
from 1 July 2019
Removes distinction between operating and finance leases; introduces new identification criteria
Overview - results in operating leases being recognised on balance sheet; no change to treatment of finance leaseskey impacts shown on slide 31
No change to underlying cash flows
Applied on a modified retrospective basis
(i.e. additional lease assets equal additional lease liabilities; no restatement of historical financials)
Implementation
Grandfathering rules not applied (i.e. applied to all existing contracts on 1 July 2019) approach
Short term, variable payment and low-value leases will remain off-balance sheet and continue
to be recorded as operating expenses
Additional lease liability of ~US$2.3 bn recognised on 1 July 2019
broadly split between: office buildings; freight contracts; and other (e.g. mining and other equipment, rigs, accommodation)
freight contracts include Continuous Voyage Charters (CVCs) which were not a lease under old IAS 17 criteria
CVCs are priced with reference to the volatile freight index (C5 Dry Baltic) and must be remeasured each period
Small favourable impact expected to unit costs (0-5%) as lease costs shift from operating expenses to depreciation and interest Key
impacts Net debt target range changed to US$12-17 bn
change in net debt definition to include fair value of
debt-related derivatives at 30 June 2019 (US$0.2 bn increase), unrelated to IFRS 16 initial impact of IFRS 16 on 1 July 2019 (~US$2.3 bn increase) additional new leases commencing in FY20 (including SGO desalination plant)
and renewals of existing lease arrangements (~US$1.3 bn increase)

Statement of Petroleum Resources
Petroleum resources
The estimates of Conventional Petroleum contingent
resources contained in this presentation are on a Net revenue interest basis and are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared under the supervision of Mr A. G. Gadgil, who is employed by BHP. Mr Gadgil is a
member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and has the required qualifications and experience to act as a qualified petroleum reserves and resources evaluator under the ASX Listing Rules. This presentation is issued with the prior written consent
of Mr Gadgil who agrees with the form and context in which the petroleum contingent resources are presented. Aggregates of contingent resources estimates contained in this presentation have been calculated by arithmetic summation of field/project
estimates by category using deterministic methodology. The custody transfer point(s)/point(s) of sale applicable for each field or project are the reference point for contingent resources. Contingent resources estimates contained in this
presentation have not been adjusted for risk. Unless noted otherwise, contingent resources are as at 30 June 2019. In this presentation millions of barrels of oil equivalent are abbreviated as Mmboe. The total boe conversion is based on the
following: 6,000 scf of natural gas equals 1 boe. BHP estimates proved reserve volumes according to SEC disclosure regulations and files these in our annual Form 20-F with the SEC. All unproved volumes are
estimated using SPE-PRMS 2018 guidelines which allow escalations to prices and costs, and as such, would be on a different basis than that prescribed by the SEC, and are therefore excluded from our SEC
filings. Non-proved estimates are inherently more uncertain than proved.

weather, and higher strip ratio and contractor stripping costs) and Nickel West (mine plan changes) of US$0.4 billion.
6. Slide 9: Price: net of price-linked
costs.
7. Slide 9: Controllable cash costs: reflects increased maintenance activities; costs related to unplanned production outages at WAIO, Olympic Dam, Nickel

21. Slide 20: Exploration wells and success rate: refers to the number of wells completed at any time during the respective year, regardless of when drilling was initiated. A
successful well is an exploratory or extension well that is not a dry well or met its appraisal objective. Successful wells include wells in which hydrocarbons were encountered and the drilling or completion of which, has been suspended pending
further drilling. Excludes wells that had mechanical issues (Burrokeet-1 and Wildling-1 in FY17 and Bongos-1 in FY19) where the

project. Withholding tax on dividend payments under the current corporate structure is 5%.
- Royalties: 6% of mine gate revenue (revenue less port and rail costs)
- Federal and Provincial Corporate Income taxes: Combined top rate 27% (Carried forward losses from pre-production years
can be utilised to decrease future taxable profits)
- Potash Production Tax (PPT), two components. Both components are calculated based on K2O tonnes. Thus
potassium chloride (KCL) needs to be converted to potassium oxide (K2O), with a conversion rate of 0.6.
A base payment levied at a rate of 35% on the
producers annual resource profits, subject to minimum payment of CAD$11.00 and a maximum of CAD$12.33 per K2O tonne sold. New producers may qualify for a base payment holiday for the first 10 years of production.
A profit tax imposed on the producers gross annual profit tax that is determined by rates, which increase with profits per tonne sold, as follows: 15% of the profit
per tonne below CAD $67.36 and 35% of the profit per tonne above CAD $67.36 (tax brackets are indexed for inflation). Profit tax is assessed on a maximum of 35% of total tonnes sold, but producers may claim a base payment credit with respect to
amount of tonnes that are subject to both the base payment and the profit tax. There are no tax holidays available for the profit tax.
