Whitehaven inclusive of Qld operations since Apr-24 3 5.1 6.4 4.4 4.6 3.3 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY26 Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) - employees and contractors Strong safety and environmental performance TRIFR of 3.3 in FY26 was a record for Whitehaven’s expanded business 1. Events resulting in penalty notices, enforceable undertakings, suspensions, prevention notices or convictions, which are upheld following conclusion of any review or appeal processes 2. In late September 2025, the NSW EPA issued a Penalty Infringement Notice (PIN) in relation to a dust complaint concerning Maules Creek that was made in February 2025. This EEA is reported retrospectively in FY25 results and was included in the FY26 remuneration outcomes Note there is one pending EEA in relation to a fume event at Maules Creek in FY22; if enforcement outcomes are upheld following legal proceedings (including appeal processes), this will be reported as an EEA. In June 2026, legal proceedings in relation to a previously reported pending EEA for FY21 relating to a Maules Creek blast-related noise event were resolved in Maules Creek’s favour. Similarly, in September 2026, the NSW EPA withdrew charges in relation to a fume event at Maules Creek which occurred in March 2022 and was previously reported as a pending EEA. As a result, Whitehaven has determined these two events did not constitute EEA events. 5-year average of 4.7 for combined historic data Combined data for Whitehaven operations and BMA owned Daunia and Blackwater operations 3.3 TRIFR for employees and contractors in FY26 compared with 4.6 TRIFR in FY25 and 5-year average of 4.7 for combined Whitehaven and acquired QLD operations Zero environmental enforcement action (EEA) events1 in FY26 and 1 EEA event attributed to FY252 during FY26

Additional returns to shareholders • Payout ratio may exceed target if returning surplus capital is more compelling than growth • Normal dividends and buy-backs will be used; special dividends will not typically feature 6 Capital allocation framework Whitehaven's capital allocation framework is designed to deliver shareholder value 1. Expect Leverage towards the bottom of the range through the cycle but may be at top end of range or higher at the bottom of the cycle and at times of acquisitions and major development investments 2. Net Debt / (Net Debt + Equity) of 10-20% (excl. IFRS 16 lease liabilities) noting that an ongoing share buy-back will impact the level of Equity over time, which may require targeted gearing range to be adjusted 3. Whitehaven’s payout ratio is calculated on full year earnings; typically Whitehaven pays lower returns in H1, to consider full year results in dividend and buy-back decisions 4. Split between dividends and buy-backs will take into account franking benefits, composition of share register, extent buy-backs are value creating, and points in the cycle Deliver returns to shareholdersMaintain balance sheet strengthMaintain and optimise operations 1 2 4 3 Use surplus capital for best use Dividends Buy-backs Growth investments – organic growth Growth investments – M&A Prudently allocate capital to: • Sustaining capex and lease repayments • Life extensions of existing operations • Productivity improvements • Investments in HSE, new tech and innovation Includes improvements at Blackwater & Daunia, Vickery early mining, Narrabri Stage 3 • Grow volumes from existing mines • Advance development projects to shovel ready • Invest when returns are compelling and minimum IRR hurdles are met • Retain cash on balance sheet for flexibility and liquidity through the cycle • Target 0.5-1.5x Net Debt / EBITDA leverage1 and 10-20% gearing2 through the cycle • Maintain funding diversity • BB+ corporate credit ratings support investment grade debt instruments • Will consider M&A opportunities if strategically aligned and value creating, prioritising opportunities in metallurgical coal • Targeted shareholder returns of 40-60% of underlying Group NPAT3 • Dividends will maximise franking opportunities and are expected to be fully franked • Split between dividends and share buy-backs is expected to be broadly balanced on a value basis4 Operating cashflows
