    Transcript BHP Billiton Preliminary Results Investor and analyst briefing 19 August 2014 Version: 1 Preliminary Results Investor and analyst briefing 1. Andrew Mackenzie - Results ANDREW MACKENZIE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER: Welcome to our results briefing on what is a very important day for our company. I am in London with our CFO, Graham Kerr. Other members of our Group Management Committee are here or they have joined by telephone. First, let me point you to the disclaimer and remind you of its importance to today’s presentation. I’m going to provide you with an overview of the last year and share with you our exceptional results of our productivity agenda and Graham will then take you through our financial results in some considerable detail and I will then focus on our next exciting step in our journey towards a simpler portfolio and our strategy to deliver the next level of performance for our shareholders. In the 2014 financial year, we continued to deliver on our commitments. We exceeded production guidance for a number of our core commodities and surpassed our annual productivity target with another $2.9 billion of sustainable gains embedded, and there is more to come. Our selective investment, through which we will ultimately deliver higher investment returns, coupled with our financial discipline, generated a substantial increase in free cash flow. This comfortably covers our progressive base dividend and has further strengthened our balance sheet. We will return excess cash flow to our shareholders in a consistent and predictable manner. And finally, we have announced plans to simplify our portfolio in a single step.
