OutlookOutlook

Confidence in the continued growth in China and longer term strength

of the resources cycle and believe that Bradken is well placed to

continue to benefit from the growth in these mining related markets

Although mine production growth has been constrained by port and

rail capacity, the industry is entering a period of strong rail growth

Continue to review potential targeted acquisitions in Australia and

overseas, which are consistent with our business model

The main drivers of growth, being mining volumes and rail demand,

expansion of EBITDA margin, and acquisitions will continue to

provide a platform for sustainable long-term earnings growth For

OutlookOutlook

Three main drivers of Bradken’s growth

Mining volumes / Rail demand• Confidence in China growth and continued resource cycle

• Rail wagon market strong with re-emergence of Pacific National, increased wagon demand from Queensland Rail, to be followed by increasing volume trends in iron ore and coal

Expansion of the EBITDA margin• Significant capex spend going forward and realisation of benefits from FY07 expenditure

• Commenced importing of Chinese manufactured products

• Continued focus on product development and selling of value to customers

• Exchange rate has positive effect on costs but may encourage imports

Targeted Acquisitions• Full year impact of recent acquisitions

• Our balance sheet strength and strong cash flow provides increasing capacity to fund acquisitions

• Ample opportunities in Australia and Overseas within strategic areas

The above drivers will continue to provide a platform for sustainable long-term

earnings growth
