Dividends paid during the period differs from the amount of dividends paid in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement as a result of foreign exchange gains and losses between the record date and the payment date of equity distributions. Proceeds
of US$107 million were received on derivative instruments as part of the funding of the dividend paid during the period and disclosed in ‘Proceeds from cash management related instruments’ in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement.
Each American Depositary Share (ADS) represents two ordinary shares of BHP Group Limited. Dividends determined on each ADS represent twice the dividend determined on each BHP Group Limited ordinary share.
Dividends are determined after
period-end
and announced with the results for the period. Interim dividends are determined in February and paid in March. Final dividends are determined in August and paid in September or October. Dividends determined are not recorded as a liability at the end of the period to which they relate. Subsequent to
year-end,
on 19 August 2025, BHP Group Limited determined a final dividend of 60 US cents per share (US$3,045 million), which will be paid on
2
5 September 2025 (30 June 2024: final dividend of 74 US cents per share – US$3,752 million; 30 June 2023: final dividend of 80 US cents per share – US$4,052 million).
