2026 OUTLOOK

   (i)  Overall Performance: We expect our EBITDA to grow in line with our medium-term outlook of between 4-
        8%. The outlook for FY26 reflects our current assessment of inflation and other macroeconomic conditions.

   (ii) Net Finance Costs: Net pension interest expenses and accretion expenses are expected to be in the range
        of 190 to 220 million USD per quarter, depending on currency and interest rate fluctuations. We expect
        the average gross debt coupon in FY26 to be approximately 4%.

   (iii)Effective Tax Rate (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY26 to be in the range of 26% to 28%. The ETR
        outlook does not consider the impact of potential future changes in legislation.

   (iv) Net Capital Expenditure: We expect net capital expenditure of between 3.5 and 4.0 billion USD in FY26.
