Half Year Results FY24 6 months ended 31 Dec 2023 reece re re MAXIMUM CLEA#3Disclaimer The material in this presentation has been prepared by Reece Limited (ABN 49 004 313 133) ("Reece") (ASX:REH) and is general background information about Reece's activities current as at the date of this presentation, 27th February 2024. The information is given in summary form and does not purport to be complete. In particular you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements regarding Reece's belief, intent or expectations with respect to Reece's businesses, market conditions and/or results of operations. Although due care has been used in the preparation of such statements, actual results may vary in a material manner. No representation, warranty or assurance (express or implied) is given or made in relation to any forward-looking statement by any person (including Reece). Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant listing rules of the Australian Securities Exchange, Reece disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements in this presentation to reflect any change in expectations in relation to any forward-looking statements or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Nothing in this presentation shall under any circumstances create an implication that there has been no change in the affairs of Reece since the date of these materials. Information in this presentation, including any forecast financial or other information, should not be considered as advice or a recommendation to investors or potential investors in relation to holding, purchasing or selling securities. Before acting on any information you should consider the appropriateness of the information having regard to these matters and, in particular, you should seek independent financial advice. Non-IFRS Financial Information Reece uses certain measures to manage and report on its business that are not recognised under Australian Accounting Standards. These measures are collectively referred to as non-IFRS financial measures. Although Reece believes that these measures provide useful information about the financial performance of Reece, they should be considered as supplemental to the measures calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and not as a replacement for them. Because these non- IFRS financial measures are not based on Australian Accounting Standards, they do not have standard definitions, and the way Reece calculates these measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. Readers should therefore not place undue reliance on these non-IFRS financial measures. Group definitions are included in the appendix and supplementary information at the end of the presentation. Non-IFRS performance measures have not been subject to audit or review. Note: All financial amounts contained in this presentation are expressed in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated. Any discrepancies between totals and the sum or calculation of components in tables contained in this presentation are due to rounding. Any discrepancies in the calculation of percentage movements in financial amounts from one period to another are due to rounding. 2 Reece.
