Yours sincerely Debra Counsell Company Secretary BlueScope is a trademark of BlueScope Steel Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2018/2019 BlueScope Steel Limited ABN 16 000 011 058 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE BlueScope delivered another very good financial result in 2019 – our third year with back to back underlying Earnings Before Interest & Tax (EBIT) above $1.1 billion. This occurred despite some softening in commodity steel spreads and volumes in the second half and, of course, rising uncertainty in global markets caused by geopolitical factors and the US-China trade dispute. At the time of writing, 1H FY2020 outlook sees weaker commodity steel prices and spreads across our steelmaking businesses in the US, Australia and New Zealand. Accordingly we expect underlying EBIT around 45 per cent lower than 2H FY2019. This is the short term outlook, but we are now a very resilient global Company with a strong balance sheet and high quality assets which provide the capacity to withstand and potentially take advantage of tough cyclical conditions. BlueScope is very focused on generating returns above its cost of capital so we create value for shareholders. Your Company has delivered $1.14 billion in shareholder returns since FY2017 to June this year with up to a further $281 million in dividends and buy-back this half.
