This announcement was authorised by Vulcan’s Chair of the Board.


About Vulcan

Founded in 1995, Vulcan is an Australasian-wide industrial product distributor and value-

added processor with 72 logistics and processing facilities employing approximately 1,325

staff across the company’s Steel and Metals divisions.


Address from the Chair of the Board of Directors, Russell Chenu

Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow Shareholders.


FY2023 has been a year of both challenge and opportunity for your company. Opportunity,

with the acquisition of Ullrich Aluminium, which we completed in August last year. And

challenge, with the softening of demand that we experienced in both Australia and New

Zealand during the year. Increasing inflation and higher interest rates adversely impacted

business and consumer confidence, especially in New Zealand.


Financial Performance

It is pleasing to report that Vulcan achieved record revenue in FY2023. This included an

eleven-month contribution from Ullrich Aluminium. However, earnings were lower in FY2023

than in the prior year.


A highlight of the year was the very strong cash flow performance, with operating cash flow

driven by disciplined working capital management. This strong cash flow performance

enabled us to reduce net borrowings during the year. Following the purchase of Ullrich, net

borrowings peaked at NZ$435 million during the year. By the end of June this year, we had

reduced net debt to NZD340 million, a reduction of NZ$95 million from the peak.


We continue to maintain a strong financial position with unutilised borrowing facilities of

NZ$100 million available to us at the end of June this year.


Rhys will comment further on FY2023 results in his presentation.


Dividend

We declared dividends of NZD0.55 per share for FY2023. The dividend amounts to NZD72

million, which represents 76% of net profit after tax.


The FY2023 dividend for the year was 76% imputed for New Zealand shareholders and 100%

franked for Australian shareholders.


Board

In September we announced the appointment of Nicola Greer as a director of the company.

We welcome Nicola to the board and her election is one of the resolutions for this meeting.

Nicola’s appointment reinstates a majority of independent directors on the board.


I would like to thank all directors for their contribution during the year as we continue our

journey of transition from a private to a listed company. Both the Audit and Risk Committee

and the People and Remuneration Committee made significant progress on governance

during the year, and we are indebted to Carolyn Steele and Bart de Haan respectively, for

their chairmanship of those committees.


In September this year, Vulcan was admitted to the ASX300 Index and the NZX MidCap Index.

We want to take a moment to acknowledge these milestones today as they are recognition

of the collective contribution of our employees to the successes achieved by your

company.


Address from the Chair of the Board of Directors, Russell Chenu


Sustainability

We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint over time. As a value-added

processor and distributor of metal products, we are pursuing incremental and ongoing

improvement to our emissions level. In FY2023, the acquisition of our aluminum business

during the year contributed 5,536 tonnes to our overall emissions level. Scope 1 and 2

greenhouse gas emissions for pre-existing businesses was 737 tonnes lower in FY2023 at

8,427 tonnes compared with 9,164 tonnes in FY2022, a reduction of 8%.


Outlook

Vulcan demonstrated considerable resilience in FY2023. Our people continue to execute

with their renowned commitment to customer service. Economic corrections often provide

quality businesses with a strong balance sheet with opportunities to enhance their business

model and improve their relative market position. The Board believes this may be such a

time, notwithstanding current headwinds, we believe that in the medium term, our

commitment to our business strategies will deliver a stronger, more prosperous company.


On behalf of your Board, I would like to thank all of our employees for their commitment, our

customers for their trust in our company, and you our shareholders for your ongoing

support.


I will now ask Rhys to make his CEO presentation.

Thank you, Russell, and welcome everyone to Vulcan Steel’s 2023 Annual Shareholder

Meeting.


Summary of FY2023 Performance

The past year has been volatile and challenging with global inflation and rapidly rising

interest rates impacting all of our key markets. Despite this difficult economic environment

Vulcan Steel’s financial performance produced a number of highlights in a period in which

a major acquisition was completed.


Our business generated $145m of operating cash flow from an EBITDA of $219m as supply

chains normalised and working capital was reduced. The EBITDA of $219m on sales revenue

of $1,245 million represented a return on sales of 17.6% while return on capital employed was

21%. Excluding the impact of lease accounting standard or IFRS 16, our return on capital

employed was 32% in FY2023. This is a key performance metric and incentive hurdle for the

leaders in our business.


A net profit after tax of $95m was achieved, while the net debt to EBITDA cover was

comfortably within target at 1.85x at the end of the financial year after the successful

integration of Ullrich Aluminium. We are pleased with the contribution from our aluminium

business in the 11 months under Vulcan’s ownership in FY2023.


Vulcan Steel’s Business

One of the highlights this past year was the NZ$169 million acquisition of Ullrich Aluminium.

This NZ$300 million trans-Tasman aluminium distributor is a strong fit culturally and

strategically with the existing business. The Vulcan value proposition of providing high stock

availability and delivery in full on time is a strong cultural fit with aluminium which has

ensured the retention of customers during a period of significant change. The aluminium

unit has much potential to grow and improve in all aspects of its operational and financial

performance.


The addition of aluminium has further diversified Vulcan Steel’s customer base and

increased the number of monthly active trading customers by 80% excluding accounts that

overlap with pre-existing business. The Metals division now includes aluminium,

engineering steels and stainless steel. The combined revenue of this division is now similar

to the steel division which consists of distribution, coil and plate processing. This deliberate

strategy of product, customer and geographic diversification will enhance the reliability of

earnings.


Vulcan Steel’s Network

The Ullrich acquisition has significantly increased the footprint of Vulcan across Australasia.

The number of sites has increased from 29 to 70 in the past year. The aluminium network

operates in many regional cities and towns where Vulcan did not previously have a

presence.


Address from the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Rhys Jones

Page 5 of 7


The opportunity to cross sell complementary products to aluminium from this expanded

network is significant. Sites which sell more than one product type are called hybrid units.

For example a unit which sells both aluminium and stainless steel. A number of hybrid sites

are being created primarily in the aluminium branch network. This hybrid branch strategy

provides greater service and product availability to our customers whilst reducing unit

costs. This strategy enables customers of different divisions to buy seamlessly through one

point of contact. The Vulcan IT system is a critical plank in enabling the business model to

be rolled out rapidly in a newly acquired division.


Growth Strategy

The core principle or criteria behind Vulcan Steel’s growth strategy is that it must add value

to the customer and Vulcan’s shareholders. Careful consideration is also paid to ensuring

readily accessible synergies are present.


Brownfield expansions of existing sites or winning new customers or a greater share of an

existing customer’s spend are a core growth strategy. This is particularly important in a

challenging economic environment. Similarly, greenfield entry into new geographies is

another low-risk growth strategy particularly when the hybrid strategy described previously

is employed. A number of greenfield sites have been identified and sequenced for

implementation. The hybrid roll out will progressively gain traction over the coming two

years.


The growth strategy of further expanding the product range or service offered has been

successful over the past nine years. Metals - aluminium, engineered steels and stainless

steel- has grown from nil revenue to over $600 million per year with approximately 20%

EBITDA margin. This strategy involves considering opportunities in other steel and metal

market segments in which Vulcan does not presently operate, but are complementary to

the existing business divisions.


Mergers or acquisitions of businesses that operate in our existing portfolio which offer

consolidation or geographic diversification are also being identified. These opportunities

are regularly considered.


FY2024 Priorities

The priorities for the coming year include:

1. ensuring that Vulcan’s customer service mindset and culture are embedded in the

aluminium business.

2. that the planned hybrid roll out in five locations by June 2024 is implemented to a

consistently high standard

3. that the ongoing focus of offsetting inflationary pressures through productivity

improvements and cost reduction is effective and complementary to a culture of

personal accountability and ownership.

4. explore other complementary product platforms and adjacencies.


Address from the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Rhys Jones

Page 6 of 7


Health and Safety, Employee and Community Initiatives

Health and safety are paramount given our employees are handling heavy metal products

daily. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment. We continue to

focus on increasing awareness through ongoing risk education and training as well as the

use of technology to reduce injury frequency rate over time.


To help our employees achieve their maximum potential, we have established our internal

development programme and supplement this with external courses where appropriate.

We provide workplace and personal support to our employees and their immediate family

in assisting with work and personal challenges.


We believe in giving back to and supporting the communities that support us and our

people. Our philosophy around community support is that wherever possible, we are

actively involved and ensure that our support goes directly where it is needed - ideally

directly to individuals. We are especially proud of how our employees came together to

reach out through their personal and work network to victims of New Zealand’s devastating

floods in February 2023. We donated a total of $85,000 directly to individuals in the

community to support them and their families in the immediate aftermath of Cyclone

Gabrielle.


Trading Update for the first four months of FY2024

The weak international economic environment has resulted in lower metal product prices

while domestic demand across Australasia is weaker than the comparable period last year.

This has resulted in revenue declining by 9%.


The EBITDA year to date is lower by 29% due to lower volume, reduced revenue per tonne

and increased operational costs due to inflation.


The volume in Australia was stable in the first four months of FY2024 compared to the

second half year of FY2023 while New Zealand volume was lower for the comparable

period.


Volumes in New Zealand in October were adversely impacted by the general election.


Outlook Statement

The volume outlook appears to be stabilising with a potentially gradual improvement in the

first half of next calendar year. The ongoing impact of high interest rates are expected to

limit the extent of any significant recovery well into next year.


Lead activity indicators for New Zealand are showing some improvement in 2H FY2024.

However, the outlook for Australia appears to be weakening.


Address from the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Rhys Jones

Page 7 of 7


Conclusion

The past year has been successful, but the macro-economic outlook appears challenging

in the year ahead due to ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainties as well as

inflation pressure on operating costs. Despite the tough environment there are a number of

opportunities to position Vulcan to grow strongly now and in future years. Thank you.


ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

As we collaborate with our new colleagues in aluminium, we are forging new
pathways for growth. Our principles dedicated to improvement and ambition

Trading in first 4 months of FY24
• Revenue decline of 9% year-on-year (yoy) was driven by lower

average selling price and volume compared with previous

corresponding period

• The yoy weakness in 4M FY24 EBITDA was due to a combination


of lower volume, margin and inflation impact on operating costs

• Sales tonnes per day in 4M FY24 compared with 2H FY23 has

been mixed:

- Australia has remained steady; and

- New Zealand has weakened further, reflecting market conditions.

• Volumes in New Zealand in October were adversely impacted by

FY24 outlook
• Based on the first four months of trading in FY24, sales volumes

are showing early signs of stabilising

• High interest rate levels are expected to limit the extent of


a recovery

• Trading in New Zealand was variable in the first four months of

FY24. The lead activity indicators for New Zealand suggest some

recovery in 2H FY24, although this could remain tepid.

• In Australia, the outlook for Vulcan’s Metals segment remains

steady, while the Steel segment will likely continue to be

challenging in the near term

• December and January months are seasonally lower sales and

volume period due to fewer effective trading days for Vulcan

• Global commodity prices are expected to remain range-bound

for a period

• Focusing on productivity to offset the inflation pressure on

Vulcan’s cost base
