Disclaimer and
Important Information
The material in this presentation has been prepared by Elders Limited and is general background about Elders’ activities and performance at the date of this presentation. The
information is in summary form, does not purport to be complete, and where derived from publicly available sources has not been independently verified. Information in this
presentation is not advice or a recommendation to investors or potential investors in relation to holding, selling or buying Elders shares and does not take into account a
reader’s investment objectives, financial situation or needs.
Forward looking statements
This presentation is prepared for informational purposes only. It contains forward looking statements that are subject to risk factors associated with the agriculture industry
many of which are beyond the control of Elders. Elders’ future financial results will be highly dependent on the outlook and prospect of the Australian farm sector, and the
values and volume growth in internationally traded livestock and fibre. Financial performance for the operations is heavily reliant on, but not limited to, the following factors:
weather and rainfall conditions; commodity prices and international trade relations. While Elders has made reasonable endeavours to ensure the accuracy of forward looking
statements, no assurance or representation is given that they will be achieved and no reliance should be placed on them.
Non-IFRS information
This presentation refers to and discusses underlying profit to enable analysis of like-for-like performance between periods, excluding the impact of discontinued operations or
events which are not related to ongoing operating performance. Underlying profit measures reported by the Elders have been calculated in accordance with the FINSIA/AICD
principles for the reporting of underlying profit. Underlying profit is non-IFRS financial information and has not been subject to review by the external auditors, but is derived
from audited accounts by removing the impact of discontinued operations and items not considered to be related to ongoing operating performance.

decision making

The new model is underpinned by eight principles
Strategy Overview
Central direction and vision setting for the portfolio from the corporate centre
Ongoing financial discipline, with all divisions accountable to clear performance
and return metrics based on a central budget process
Central capital allocation approach based on disciplined evaluation of returns, risk,
and strategic fit to both central and divisional strategies
Active portfolio management from the corporate centre, including acquisition,
transformation, and divestment where needed
Divisional strategies are owned and executed by the individual divisions in alignment
with overarching central direction and vision for the portfolio
Leverage shared capabilities in a lean corporate centre where they drive
competitive advantage and efficiency
A unified corporate culture underpins all Elders Ltd divisions, while allowing for local
leadership and identities
Robust risk management overseen by the centre and owned by the divisions
Portfolio management
Divisional accountability
Corporate guardianship
26
Divisions now have greater accountability
for financial outcomes and strategy
Strategy Overview
• Decisions which materially impact the
Elders Ltd portfolio are overseen by the
centre (e.g. group objectives, capital
decisions, inorganic moves)
• Divisional strategy and financial
accountability sits within the divisions,
ensuring autonomy to drive performance
within their own markets
• The centre drives an aligned culture,
provides economies of scope and scale
for functional support, and sets the risk
framework to be owned by divisions
