On 27 August 2024, the Board of BHP determined to pay a final dividend of 74 US cents per share for the full year ended 30 June 2024.

For the 2024 final dividend:

(i) the AUD Australian dollar currency conversion will be based on the average rate over a four day period commencing on 10 September 2024 and ending on 13 September 2024;

(ii) the GBP pound sterling currency conversion will be based on the rate on 13 September 2024;

(iii) the NZD New Zealand dollar currency conversion will be based on the rate on 13 September 2024; and
