Group Result
Change of Financial Year
Directors announced on 17 December 1999 that the financial year end for the BHP Group would change from 31 May to 30 June with effect from 30 June 2000.
This Profit Report includes an analysis of the results for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 compared with the year ended 31 May 1999. In this report all references to the corresponding period are to the year ended 31 May 1999.
Financial Period Result
Excluding abnormal items, the operating profit after tax attributable to BHP shareholders for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was $2,032 million, an increase of $1,667 million or 456.7% compared with the corresponding period.
The annual profit is the highest in the Companys history and also includes a record profit for the six months ended 30 June 2000.
Including abnormal items, the operating profit after tax attributable to BHP shareholders was $1,627 million, compared with a loss of $2,312 million for the corresponding period. Details of the abnormal items are provided on page 4.
Basic earnings per share for the thirteen months to 30 June 2000 were 114.9 cents excluding abnormal items and 92.0 cents including abnormal items. Comparative earnings per share for the year ended 31 May 1999 were 21.1 cents excluding abnormal items and (133.5) cents including abnormal items.
Operating Result excluding abnormal items
The following major factors affected operating profit after tax, excluding abnormal items, attributable to BHP shareholders for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 compared with the corresponding period:
Volumes (positive impact of $350 million)
Higher sales volumes increased profits by approximately $350 million compared with the corresponding period. The increase was largely due to the thirteen month reporting period combined with general improvements in underlying volumes on an annual basis.
Costs (positive impact of $330 million)
Benefits from cost reduction initiatives continue to be reflected in lower production and overhead costs throughout BHP. Borrowing costs were also lower due to significantly reduced debt levels partly offset by higher US and Australian interest rates. These resulted in lower costs of approximately $330 million ($515 million before tax) compared with the corresponding period.
Ceased, Sold and Discontinuing operations (positive impact of $325 million)
Decisions to close or cease operations including North America copper and the Hartley platinum mine (Zimbabwe) had a favourable effect on results of approximately $290 million compared with the corresponding period. Improved performance from US Steel businesses increased profit by approximately $75 million. The corresponding period included profits from the divested manganese business of approximately $35 million.
Prices (positive impact of $230 million)
Significantly higher prices after commodity hedging for oil and higher copper, LNG and LPG prices increased profit by approximately $620 million compared with the corresponding period. These increases were partly offset by significantly lower prices for coal and lower prices for iron ore which decreased profit by approximately $380 million compared with the corresponding period.
Exploration expenditure (positive impact of $140 million)
Exploration expenditure charged to profit decreased by approximately $140 million compared with the corresponding period mainly reflecting a reduction in Minerals worldwide exploration.
New operations (positive impact of $125 million)
Profits from the recently commissioned Laminaria/Corallina and Buffalo oil fields (North West Australia) contributed approximately $150 million for the period. Profits from diamond sales at the EKATI TM diamond mine (Canada) were approximately $110 million higher than the corresponding period. These were partly offset by increased operating losses of approximately $110 million from HBI Western Australia.
Exchange Rates (positive impact of $75 million)
Foreign currency fluctuations net of hedging had a favourable effect of approximately $75 million compared with the corresponding period.
Asset sales (negative impact of $55 million)
Profits from asset sales were approximately $55 million lower than in the corresponding period.
Abnormal Items
The profit after abnormal items for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 of $1,627 million included a net abnormal loss of $405 million after tax comprising:
The loss of $2,312 million for the corresponding period included a net abnormal loss of $2,677 million after tax comprising losses from the write-down of assets and provisions for closure and restructuring costs of $3,324 million after tax, partly offset by profits from asset sales of $647 million after tax.
Details of abnormal items by segment are included on page 19.
Operating Result for the year ended 30 June 2000 (unaudited)
As a consequence of the change in balance date to 30 June and to provide comparability of results in future financial periods, results for the years ended 30 June 2000 and 30 June 1999 are included as supplementary data on pages 25 to 28. These results are not subject to audit.
Excluding abnormal items, the operating profit after tax attributable to BHP shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2000 was a record of $1,986 million, an increase of $1,608 million or 425.4% compared with the year ended 30 June 1999.
Including abnormal items, the operating profit after tax attributable to BHP shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2000 was a record of $1,581 million, compared with a loss of $2,299 million for the year ended 30 June 1999.
Major factors affecting operating profit for the year ended 30 June 2000 compared with the year ended 30 June 1999 are generally consistent with the major factors as described above for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 compared with the corresponding period. The favourable impact of higher sales volumes for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 largely reflects the impact of the additional month.

(1) June 2000 refers to the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000. May 1999 refers to the year ended 31 May 1999. (2) Comparative figures have been restated to reflect the transfer of internal currency hedging results from Minerals, Steel and Petroleum to Group and unallocated items, following a decision to cease new internal hedging effective 1 June 1999. The results of internal currency hedging activities now eliminate within Group and unallocated items. |
Minerals
Excluding abnormal items, Minerals result for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was a profit of $1,224 million, an increase of $546 million or 80.5% compared with the corresponding period.
Including abnormal items, the result for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was a profit of $480 million. Details of the net abnormal loss of $744 million after tax are provided on pages 4 and 19. The corresponding period included a net abnormal loss of $2,649 million after tax resulting from the write-down in carrying value of certain assets, and provisions for closure costs and restructuring, which were partly offset by the sale of the principal manganese assets.
Major factors which contributed to the result excluding abnormal items were:
These were partly offset by:
The average price booked for copper shipments for the period, after hedging and finalisation adjustments, was US$0.78 per pound (1999 - US$0.73). Finalisation adjustments after tax, representing adjustments on prior period shipments settled in the period, were $30 million favourable (1999 - $9 million unfavourable).
Unhedged copper shipments not finalised at 30 June 2000 which are expected to be finalised after 30 June 2000 have been brought to account at US$0.81 per pound. The London Metal Exchange (LME) copper spot price at 30 June 2000 was US$0.80 per pound.
Exploration expenditure was $110 million for the period (1999 - $286 million), reflecting a reduction in worldwide exploration. The charge against profit was $101 million (1999 - $278 million).
Significant developments during the thirteen months included:
Steel
Excluding abnormal items, Steels result for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was a profit of $410 million, an increase of $142 million or 53.0% compared with the corresponding period.
Including abnormal items, the result for the thirteen months ended June 2000 was a profit of $251 million. Details of the net abnormal loss of $159 million after tax are provided on pages 4 and 19. The corresponding period included an abnormal loss of $105 million (no tax effect) from the write-down of New Zealand Steel assets.
Major factors which contributed to the result excluding abnormal items were:
These were partly offset by:
Total steel despatches from all operations for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 were 8.591 million tonnes, 2.4% above the corresponding period:
- Australian domestic despatches were 4.430 million tonnes, up 8.5%;
- Australian export despatches were 2.735 million tonnes, down 14.5%;
- New Zealand steel despatches were 0.602 million tonnes, up 13.2%; and
- despatches from overseas plants were 0.824 million tonnes, up 43.3%.
Significant developments during the thirteen months included:
Petroleum
Excluding abnormal items, Petroleums result for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was a profit of $1,155 million, an increase of $834 million or 259.8% compared with the corresponding period.
Including abnormal items, the result for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was a profit of $1,326 million. Details of the net abnormal profit of $171 million after tax are provided on pages 4 and 19. The result for the corresponding period included an abnormal loss of $89 million after tax, reflecting the write-off of goodwill and write-down of petroleum mineral rights in the United Kingdom, partly offset by the sale of Bayu-Undan and other Timor Gap properties (Australian/Indonesian Zone of Co-operation).
Major factors which contributed to the result excluding abnormal items were:
These were partly offset by:
Oil and condensate production was 31.7% higher than the corresponding period reflecting higher production at Bass Strait (Victoria) following recovery from the explosion and subsequent fire at the Longford Gas Plant in the corresponding period, new production from the recently commissioned Laminaria/Corallina and Buffalo oil fields, higher North West Shelf production following major refurbishment of Cossack Pioneer in the corresponding period, and the additional month in this financial period. These were partly offset by the sale of Elang/Kakatua/Kakatua North producing fields (North West Australia) in the corresponding period, and Kutubu, Gobe and Moran producing fields (PNG) in the current period, and lower production at Griffin (Western Australia) due to natural field decline.
Natural gas production was 12.8% higher compared with the corresponding period, reflecting a thirteen month period, higher gas production at US producing properties due to increased facility capacity, and higher volumes at Liverpool Bay (UK). These were partly offset by lower gas production in the UK due to the sale of the Southern North Sea assets. North West Shelf LNG production was 9.6% higher, mainly reflecting a thirteen month period.
Exploration expenditure for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was $263 million (1999 - $344 million). Exploration expenditure charged to profit was $208 million (1999 - $197 million).
Significant developments during the thirteen months included:
Services
Excluding abnormal items, Services result for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was a profit of $73 million, a decrease of $24 million or 24.7% compared with the corresponding period.
Including abnormal items, the result for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was a profit of $115 million. Details of the net abnormal profit of $42 million after tax are provided on pages 4 and 19. The corresponding period included an abnormal profit of $173 million after tax from the sale of the BHP Power business.
The major factor which contributed to the lower result in the financial period, excluding abnormal items, was higher insurance losses following a drag-line collapse at the Saraji coal mine (Queensland).
Significant developments during the thirteen months included:
Following various asset sales and an internal reorganisation, BHP Services will cease to be separately reported from 1 July 2000.
Net unallocated interest
Excluding abnormal items, net unallocated interest expense was $512 million for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 compared with $449 million for the corresponding period. This increase was mainly due to significantly lower capitalised interest for HBI, Escondida, EKATI TM and Laminaria in the financial period, higher interest rates in the US and Australia, and an additional month of expense. These were largely offset by benefits arising from significantly lower debt levels.
Including an abnormal tax expense relating to the restatement of deferred tax balances following the change in the Australian company tax rate, net unallocated interest expense for the thirteen months was $515 million. There were no abnormal items in the corresponding period.
A significant development during the financial period was the Federal Court ruling in BHPs favour concerning the deductibility of financing costs paid to General Electric Company in connection with the acquisition of the Utah Group in the early 1980s. The Australian Taxation Office has appealed the decision. No adjustments will be made to the Group accounts pending conclusion of this matter.
Group and unallocated items
Excluding abnormal items, the result for Group and unallocated items was a loss of $352 million for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 compared with a loss of $547 million for the corresponding period.
Including abnormal items, the result for the thirteen months ended 30 June 2000 was a loss of $64 million. Details of the net abnormal profit of $288 million after tax are provided on pages 4 and 19. The result for the corresponding period included a net abnormal loss of $7 million after tax.
The result excluding abnormal items included losses of $199 million after tax from external foreign currency hedging compared with losses of $363 million after tax in the corresponding period.
Outside equity interests
Outside equity interests share of operating profit decreased mainly due to losses at Ok Tedi copper and adjustments attributable to minority shareholders of the Moura coal mine following completion of the sale in August 1999.

Consolidated Financial Results
Revenue
Sales revenue of $21,506 million increased by $2,277 million or 11.8% compared with the corresponding period. This mainly reflects the additional month in the financial period together with higher crude oil and copper prices. Other revenue, including interest income, decreased by $515 million reflecting lower proceeds from asset sales and lower interest income. Total operating revenue increased by $1,762 million to $23,683 million.
Depreciation and Amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation charges increased by $74 million to $2,292 million. This mainly reflects an additional month of charges, depreciation on recently commissioned operations, and higher Petroleum production. These factors were partly offset by lower depreciation following the write-down of certain assets at 31 May 1999, depreciation in the corresponding period on businesses now closed, ceased or sold, and the favourable effect of exchange rate variations.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs decreased by $9 million to $723 million, mainly due to significantly lower funding levels largely offset by significantly lower capitalised interest, higher interest rates in the US and Australia, and an additional month of expense in the financial period.
Tax Expense
Excluding abnormal items, tax expense of $967 million was $401 million higher than for the corresponding period. The charge for the thirteen months represented an effective tax rate of 32.6% (1999 - 60.6%) which is lower than the nominal Australian tax rate of 36% primarily due to recognition of tax benefits in respect of certain prior year overseas exploration expenditure and prior year over provisions. These factors were partly offset by overseas exploration expenditure for which no deduction is presently available, non-deductible interest expense on preference shares and non-deductible accounting depreciation and amortisation.
