On 19 August 2025, the Board of BHP determined to pay a final dividend of 60 US cents per share for the full year ended 30 June 2025. Currency conversions are based on foreign currency exchange rates on a single day or an average for a period of days ending on or before the Record Date, being 5 September 2025.

For the 2025 final dividend:

(i) the AUD Australian dollar currency conversion will be based on the average rate over the period commencing on 3 September 2025 and ending on 5 September 2025; 
(ii) the GBP pound sterling currency conversion will be based on the rate on 5 September 2025; 
(iii) the NZD New Zealand dollar currency conversion will be based on the rate on 5 September 2025; and
(iv) the ZAR South African rand currency conversion will be based on the average rate on 22 August 20251.

The following table sets out the currency exchange rates applicable for the dividend:

Shareholders on the Australian, UK and South African share registers who are receiving dividends in AUD, GBP and ZAR respectively will have their dividend amounts converted directly from USD at the relevant exchange rate stated above.

Shareholders on the Australian register may elect to receive their dividend in NZD, GBP or USD. Shareholders who have elected to receive their dividends in a currency other than AUD will have their dividend amounts converted using the AUD/USD conversion rate (above), before being converted into the currency of payment at the below rates2:

NZD/AUD: 0.893993
GBP/AUD: 2.056719

For example, a shareholder on the Australian share register who elects to receive their dividend in NZD will first have their dividend amount converted from USD to AUD, and then from AUD to NZD. The NZD/USD exchange rate and NZD equivalent amount per share stated in the table above are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual rate and amount applied.

Shareholders on the South African register will only receive dividends in ZAR.

The dividend will be paid on Thursday, 25 September 2025.

For the secondary conversion, the NZD/AUD and GBP/AUD currency conversions have been determined by using the relevant exchange rates specified in the table above.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

BHP Group Limited established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (involving on-market purchase) in 2018. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, shareholders are able to elect to use their cash dividend for the purchase of BHP shares. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan was amended following the unification of BHP's dual listed company structure to provide former BHP Group Plc shareholders with an opportunity to  participate in the BHP Group Limited Plan. Former BHP Group Plc shareholders who wish to participate in the BHP Group Limited Plan should note that they will need to make a new election to participate in the Plan.
