CSR group strategy… a demerger into 2 different companies is the logical next step to complete the separation process
[CHART]
Based on YES02 business EBIT from CSR Annual Reports; excludes corporate costs and unallocated gains/losses (eg major land sales)
11
Two strong Australian listed companies, appealing to different groups of investors
RINKER
Rinker Group Limited (RGL)
One of the world’s top 10 heavy building materials companies, growing strongly and building strong regional market positions in its key products…
CSR
CSR Limited
A higher dividend yielding, diversified company, with a stable earnings history, strong cash flows and some of Australia’s best known household brands…
12
Strategic rationale and benefits of a demerger
• In line with CSR strategy since 1998 for separation and growth of heavy building materials while lifting shareholder value
• Creates two strong, focused companies - both investment grade, and expected to be in ASX Top 100
• Precedents show step change in management and board focus lead to improved performance over time
• Improved ability to pursue growth options, including longer term flexibility for RGL equity as acquisition currency, if appropriate
• Separation offers a clear outcome and provides shareholder choice
• Dividend policy and capital allocation to better facilitate individual business strategies
• Clearer alignment of employee compensation plans with shareholder value for Rinker people
• Opportunity for stock market re-rating
13
Costs of the demerger
• Transaction cost of $75 million before tax or est. A$54m after tax, ie a one-off impact of 5.8 cents per share
• adviser, legal and expert fees, stamp duty, insurance (A$32m)
• once-up cost of establishing RGL as a separate entity (A$28m)
• refinancing costs (including restructuring US bonds) (A$15m)
• Lower LT credit ratings but ratings agencies have indicated investment grade for both RGL and CSR
• Short term impact on CSR’s ability to pay fully-franked dividends; Rinker’s franking capacity will be lower but solid earnings from Readymix will underpin franking for shareholders
• Post-demerger, additional cost of RGL and CSR operating as independent, separately listed companies
14
In summary
• Improved performance over past 5 years
• Further opportunity to enhance value with a demerger
• Two strong companies – both likely investment grade, history of solid cash flows, leading market positions, strong management & proven performance versus peers
• Expect CSR to be a higher yield stock; Rinker a growth stock
• Rinker growth : plentiful bolt-on opportunities, solid acquisition track record and financial strength to support funding
• CSR growth : sensible growth options to supplement performance improvement focus
• Objective to deliver further value to current shareholders

High Performance Culture
Benchmarking against peers demonstrates impact
• Businesses in the US and Australia are broken down into over 100 local regional cell structures, so employees can act like mini-CEOs/owners. These market oriented performance cells are designed to improve accountability and reward strong performance
• Rinker group promotes a high performance culture through a number of initiatives including:
• Incentive schemes based squarely on the creation of shareholder value
• Incentives centred on achievement of “stretch” goals - beyond budget
• Benchmarking against peers shows significant performance improvement in business since 1998. We attribute a large part of this to the high performance culture we have been working to instil across the group

Strategy
Value-adding growth; improving base performance
RGL group aims to be in the top quartile of its heavy building materials industry peers re growth in revenue, EBITDA and SVA
• Achieve the #1 or #2 market position in regional markets
• Overall cost leadership
• Continue value-adding growth through acquisitions
• Continued performance improvement – high performance culture and benchmarking vs. peers
• Talented people with a high performance ethic
• A safe workplace
28
Strategy - - cost management
Cost leadership part of maintaining market leadership
• Companies in the RGL group aim to be the lowest cost producer in their markets
• A culture of continuous improvement through benchmarking performance against competitors and implementing operational improvement programs (OIP)
• Currently over 400 active OIPs across the RGL group
• Businesses in the RGL group have a track record of generating significant cost savings
• Estimated cost saving for year end March 2002 of A$85 million
• RGL management expect that cost savings from OIPs will continue to substantially offset inflationary cost increases
29
Strategy - - growth
Ongoing value-adding growth
• Strong cash flows provide basis for ongoing future growth
• Growth must be value-adding: earning cost of capital usually within first full year after acquisition
• Focus on high population growth US states, including bolt-on acquisitions in western US states, following Kiewit
• Small bolt-ons in Australia and low risk growth in China
• Vertical integration (concrete, cement, asphalt) in regions where quarrying operations have been established, if appropriate in those markets
• High level of due diligence pre-acquisition; stringent post acquisition management and integration plans
• If appropriate, equity funding an option for the future as growth continues
30
Financial position
Significant financial flexibility to fund growth for RGL group
• Opening net debt around US $1 to 1.1 billion (A$1.9 bn)
• Conservative gearing* expected around 37-39% at YEM03
• Interest cover approx 8 times at YEM03(f) (pro-forma)
• Total capital expenditure for YEM03F, including Kiewit acquisition, is A$ 1,271 million
• Indicative investment grade credit ratings

Standard & Poors | | Long term | | BBB+ | |
| | Short term | | A-2 | |
Fitch Ratings | | Long term | | A- | |
| | Short term | | F2 | |
* net debt/net debt + equity
31
Dividends
Policy similar to peers; improving Readymix helps franking
• RGL group policy on dividends likely to be similar to international building materials peers
• Intended dividend policy to distribute between 20-30% of operating profit after tax as dividends
• Interim dividend to be paid in December and final dividend in July each year
• No franking credits available at time of demerger
• Franking expected to be low in year ending 31 March 2004, but increasing in future years
• Improving returns from Readymix will lift franking capability but high proportion of earnings outside Australia will impact

• Cost savings from operational improvement expected to continue to largely offset inflationary cost increases
• Rinker Materials to benefit from full contribution of Kiewit in year ended 31 March 2004
• Continuing contribution from implementing growth strategy
50
Summary
