Summary

• 2012-2015 Commodity price weakness resulted from over-allocation of capital between 2006-2012 • Obscured that underlying demand growth remained robust in most commodities

• Most investment went into reasonable quality assets … but has depleted the next generation of projects

• 2016 turning point for the mining sector • Demand/supply expectations and market positioning expectations too bearish in spite of years of underperformance

• Future performance will largely be dictated by actions from here • Sector commodities are key to facilitating future economic growth/improved living standards

• Glencore has recognised and demonstrated that capital allocation based on average not marginal NPV adds value

• Glencore has recognised that growth in cash flows is what counts, not volumes

– The supply we generate helps set the price we have to take as a producer

• Structurally lower capex looks likely to persist into the medium term • Memories of 2015/16 remain fresh for shareholders and management

• Reduced opportunities to invest on reasonable terms – little or no new economic assets discovered in the past decade

• Glencore is well positioned • Genuinely diversified but with focus on “best” commodities

• Unique ability to scale production in our commodities when appropriate

– We cut production in 2015 to preserve resources and help balance markets

– Abundant brownfield opportunities

• Credit metrics repositioned to strong investment grade levels

• Excessive focus on demand forecasting

• Metal demand assumed to almost double 2005-2020

• Emerging market urbanisation

• 2x long-term historic growth trend

• Bubble charts became the norm

• Many shareholders/analysts were cheerleaders

• Increasingly marginal projects proposed and approved

• “If I don’t someone else will” supply mantra

• Fear of missing out on higher prices/market share

• Market rewarded growth pipelines however tenuous

• 8%-12% CAGR volume growth targeted

• To match expected volume growth

• Everyone else’s supply assumed to be “constrained”

• Managements failed to notice the contradiction

Today … cautious optimism has returned

Page 11: Glencore - BMO 2017 Global Metals and Mining Conference

What has changed? … demand conditions in 2016 better than forecast

• Sentiment proved too bearish

• Some forecast that China’s demand for mined commodities would more than halve in 2016

• Expected emerging market deleveraging and continued deflation of mining costs were forecast to pressure commodity prices lower

• Overshoot of sentiment following sustained underperformance

• Actual 2016 demand surprised positively

• Underpinned largely by Chinese stimulus and supply-side structural reforms aimed at removing overcapacity in the coal and steel sectors

• Demand outlook now appears constructive

• Global growth momentum in the USA, Europe and emerging markets is close to multi-year highs, as is consumer confidence in the US and Eurozone

What has changed? … supply growth was also weaker than feared

• Years of low prices have induced stresses on the supply side …

• Voluntary supply cuts

• Involuntary supply cutbacks (strikes/technical problems)

• Chinese supply side structural reforms

• High grading to enhance cash flows

• … helping to rebalance markets at a faster than anticipated pace

• Copper deficit brought forward to 2017 compared to oversupply through the end of the decade

– Accelerated by stronger demand, voluntary cutbacks inc. Katanga & Mopani as well as the growing impact of high grading orebodies to maximise cash flows

• Our zinc supply cuts have preserved the value of our scarce resources and helped rebalance the refined zinc market

– A portfolio view of volume rather than an asset view can create better returns

• Iron ore, aluminium and coal have been buoyed by reforms to tackle Chinese domestic overcapacity

Preliminary Results 2016 – 23 February 2017

Page 13: Glencore - BMO 2017 Global Metals and Mining Conference

Outlook continues to justify optimism for major commodities

• Structurally lower capex will limit new supply growth

• From a peak of c.$71bn in 2012, capex spend by the major diversified miners shrunk to c.$25bn in 2016

• No material new abundance of low-cost base metals supply has been discovered over this period

– Particularly evident in copper where the mine project pipeline in volume terms is now less than that seen in the depressed pre-super cycle trough

• Lack of new supply is seeing the raw material end of the value chain starting to tighten

• Declining opportunity set for future projects on reasonable price and capex assumptions

• Maintaining existing supply challenging in many commodities

• Aging mines and falling grades

• Energy, water and infrastructure shortages

• “Social licence to operate” challenges

• Growing sovereign/political risks

• Demand also remains constructive

Lessons learnt

• Most key commodity markets have rebalanced or are rebalancing

• Cyclical swings that characterise this industry do not have to be as large as they are

• Glencore recognises that earnings potential can be vastly improved by accepting lessons from 2003-15

• Volume growth adversely impacts price

– focus on average not marginal NPV

• Volume growth is not an end in itself

– value creation requires cash flow

• Capital allocation needs to be more conservative and based on actual cash flows

• The starting point should be that doing nothing on growth is often the best outcome
