2024 OUTLOOK

    (i)  Overall Performance: We expect our FY24 EBITDA to grow between 6-8%. The outlook for FY24 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 220 to 250 million USD per quarter, depending on currency and interest rate fluctuations. We expect
         the average gross debt coupon in FY24 to be approximately 4%.

    (iii) Effective Tax Rates (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY24 to be in the range of 27% to 29%. 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 4.0 and 4.5 billion USD in FY24.
