Disclaimer The information in this presentation is current as at 17 February 2026. It is in summary form and is not necessarily complete. It should be read together with the BHP Results for the half year ended 31 December 2025. Forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical or present facts, including: statements regarding: trends in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; demand for commodities; global market conditions; reserves and resources estimates; development and production forecasts; guidance; expectations, plans, strategies and objectives of management; climate scenarios; approval of projects and consummation of transactions; closure, divestment, acquisition or integration of certain assets, ventures, operations or facilities (including associated costs or benefits); anticipated production or construction commencement dates; capital costs and scheduling; operating costs, and availability of materials and skilled employees; anticipated productive lives of projects, mines and facilities; the availability, implementation and adoption of new technologies, including artificial intelligence; provisions and contingent liabilities; and tax, legal and other regulatory developments. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology, including, but not limited to, ‘aim’, ‘ambition’, ‘anticipate’, ‘aspiration’, ‘believe’, ‘commit’, ‘continue’, ‘could’, ‘desire’, ‘ensure’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘forecast’, ‘goal’, ‘guidance’, ‘intend’, ‘likely’, ‘may’, ‘milestone’, ‘must’, ‘need’, ‘objective’, ‘outlook’, ‘pathways’, ‘plan’, ‘project’, ‘schedule’, ‘seek’, ‘should’, ‘strategy’, ‘target’, ‘trend’, ‘will’, ‘would’ or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations or performance, or provide other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and reflect judgements, assumptions, estimates and other information available as at the date of this presentation. These statements do not represent guarantees or predictions of future financial or operational performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this presentation. BHP cautions against reliance on any forward-looking statements. For example, our future revenues from our assets, projects or mines described in this presentation will be based, in part, on the market price of the commodities produced, which may vary significantly from current levels or those reflected in our reserves and resources estimates. These variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or mines, or the continuation of existing assets. Other factors that may affect our future operations and performance, including the actual construction or production commencement dates, revenues, costs or production output and anticipated lives of assets, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and deliver the products extracted to applicable markets; the development and use of new technologies and related risks; the impact of economic and geopolitical factors, including foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the commodities we produce and competition in the markets in which we operate; activities of government authorities in or impacting the countries where we sell our products and in the countries where we are exploring or developing projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes and royalties or implementation or expansion of trade or export restrictions; changes in environmental and other regulations; political or geopolitical uncertainty and conflicts; labour unrest; weather, climate variability or other manifestations of climate change; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in section 8.1 of the Operating and Financial Review (OFR) in the BHP Annual Report 2025 and BHP’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) (including in Annual Reports on Form 20-F) which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . Except as required by applicable regulations or by law, BHP does not undertake to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.

Emissions and energy consumption data Due to the inherent uncertainty and limitations in measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and operational energy consumption under the calculation methodologies used in the preparation of such data, all GHG emissions and operational energy consumption data or references to GHG emissions and operational energy consumption volumes (including ratios or percentages) in this presentation are estimates. There may also be differences in the manner that third parties calculate or report GHG emissions or operational energy consumption data compared to BHP, which means third-party data may not be comparable to our data. For information on how we calculate our GHG emissions, refer to the BHP GHG Emissions Calculation Methodology 2025, available at bhp.com. Numbers presented may not add up precisely to the totals provided due to rounding. Presentation of data Unless expressly stated otherwise: variance analysis relates to the relative performance of BHP and/or its operations during the half year ended 31 December 2025 compared with the half year ended 31 December 2024; references to Underlying EBITDA margin excludes third-party products; data from subsidiaries are shown on a 100% basis and data from equity accounted investments and other operations is presented, with the exception of net operating assets, reflecting BHP’s share; medium-term refers to a five-year horizon, unless otherwise noted. Throughout this presentation, production volumes and financials for the operations from BHP’s acquisition of OZ Minerals Limited (OZL) during FY23 are for the period of 1 May to 30 June 2023, whilst the acquisition completion date was 2 May 2023. Data in relation to the Daunia and Blackwater mines is shown for the period up to completion on 2 April 2024, unless expressly stated otherwise. Unless expressly stated otherwise, for information and data in this presentation related to BHP’s social value or sustainability position or performance: former OZL operations that form part of BHP’s Copper South Australia asset and the West Musgrave Project are included for FY24 and FY25 but excluded for prior financial years; former OZL Brazil assets are excluded; and all such information and data excludes BHP’s interest in non-operated assets. All footnote content (except in the Annexures) is contained on slide 27 and 28. Non-IFRS information We use various Non-IFRS information to reflect our underlying performance. For further information, the reconciliation of non-IFRS financial information to our statutory measures, reasons for usefulness and calculation methodology, please refer to ‘Non-IFRS financial information’ in the BHP Financial Report for the half year ended 31 December 2025.

Appendix

Footnotes Slide 4: Copper contributed 51% of the Group’s underlying EBITDA for the first time since the Copper division began reporting independently in FY13. Slide 4 / Slide 6 / Slide 15: BHP has entered into a binding agreement with Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), in relation to BHP’s share of Western Australia Iron Ore’s (WAIO) inland power network. Completion is expected towards the end of FY2026, subject to certain regulatory approvals including Foreign Investment Review Board approval. The potential to unlock up to ~US$10 bn in undervalued capital through infrastructure linked transactions, substantial by-products, non-core assets and future growth investments represents our current aspiration and is not intended to be a projection or forecast.

Slide 4 and 20: The pathways across copper represents our current aspirations, and is not intended to be a projection, forecast or production target. Includes potential increases in production rates, as well as potential production from non-operated joint ventures and exploration programs. The pathway is subject to the completion of technical studies to support Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves estimates, capital allocation, regulatory approvals, market capacity, and, in certain cases, the development of exploration assets, in which factors are uncertain. Slide 4 and 17: First production from Jansen Stage 1 is expected to be delivered in mid-CY27. Jansen Stage 2 production is expected in FY31. Jansen Stage 1 and Stage 2 is forecast to be first quartile once it reaches full production (8.5 Mtpa), and contribute US$1 bn EBITDA pa per stage at long-term consensus price of US$431/t, real 1 Jan 2026 using an average of CRU and Argus long-term prices. Slide 5: High-potential injuries are recordable injuries and first aid cases where there was the potential for a fatality. HPIF is combined employee and contractor frequency per 1 million hours worked. HY25 data for HPIF restated due to ongoing verification activities resulting in the reclassification of 1 HPI after the HY25 reporting period. This definition is independent of the Queensland Coal definition of “high potential incident” which is defined in the Queensland Coal Health and Safety legislation. Slide 6: Best track record in meeting guidance compared to diversified miners over a 10-year period. Source: BHP analysis and broker reports. Slide 6 / Slide 24: BHP underlying EBITDA margin (excluding third party products). On a total operations basis. 25-year average includes all half-year reporting periods from HY02 to HY26 (inclusive). Underlying EBITDA margin is non-IFRS information. There may be differences in the manner that third parties calculate or report this information compared to BHP, which means third-party data may not be comparable to our data.

Slide 22: Vicuña is a non-operated JV. Vicuña resource of 47 Mt contained copper, up from 38Mt as reported 30 June 2025. Vicuña estimates are based on the technical report on a 100% basis, attached to this release. That report was prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (VALMIN Code, 2015 edition) and has not been prepared in accordance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (S-K 1300). Accordingly, the information may differ from that reported in information that BHP files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). U.S. investors are advised to refer to the mineral resources and minerals reserves presented in our annual report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC, which presents estimates prepared in accordance with SEC regulations Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (S-K 1300). The development of Vicuña, and any estimated production, expenditures and returns, are subject to regulatory approvals, market capacity and the development of exploration assets, which factors are uncertain. The estimates are not intended to be a projection, forecast or target. Largest copper project is based on S&P Capital IQ Reserves & Resources data as of 30 June 2025. Slide 22: Vicuña study did not estimate a range for Stage I capex. BHP applied a range of -5% to +10%.

Data is subject to non financial assurance review. Combined employee and contractor frequency per 1 million hours worked. FY25 H1 data for HPIF restated due to ongoing verification activities resulting in the reclassification of 1 HPI after the FY25 H1 reporting period. Our operational GHG emissions are the Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets. Baseline year data and performance data has been adjusted for acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes up to the end of FY25. HY25 data has been restated primarily due to the finalisation of surrender of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), as updated within the reporting of our FY25 results. We are transitioning to a residual mix factor (RMF) for market-based reporting of Scope 2 emissions as applicable for our Australian operated assets during FY26, with the baselines year data to be adjusted accordingly, and this will be reflected in the reporting of FY26 results. Baseline year data and performance data have been adjusted to only include voyages associated with the transportation of commodities currently in BHP’s portfolio due to the data availability challenges of adjusting by asset or operation for CY08 and subsequent year data. GHG emissions intensity calculations currently include the transportation of copper, iron ore, steelmaking coal, energy coal, molybdenum, uranium and nickel. Based on a ‘point in time’ snapshot of employees as at the end of the relevant reporting period. We define gender balance as a minimum 40% women and 40% men in line with the definitions used by entities such as the International Labour Organization. Indigenous employee participation for Australia is at Minerals Australia operations; for Chile is at Minerals Americas operations in Chile; and for Canada is at the Jansen Potash project and operations in Canada. Area under stewardship that has a formal management plan that includes conservation, restoration or regenerative practices. This metric is measured on an annual basis and an update will be provided in the full year results for FY26. HY25 data restated primarily due to identification of additional former OZL land holdings and areas where we hold sub-surface mineral rights. Nature-positive is defined by the TNFD Glossary version 1.0 as ‘A high-level goal and concept describing a future state of nature (e.g. biodiversity, ecosystem services and natural capital) which is greater than the current state’. We understand it to include land and water management practices that halt and reverse nature loss – that is, supporting healthy, functioning ecosystems. Excluding areas we hold under greenfield exploration licences (or equivalent tenements), which are outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations. 30% will be calculated based on the areas of land and water that we steward at the end of FY30.
