Notes: (1) Aggregate GMISI constituent market capitalisation across FY17 is based on a fixed number of shares outstanding for each current constituent (as at 30 June 2016) and therefore excludes the direct impacts on market capitalisation of equity raisings and other corporate actions (i.e. scrip transactions) during FY17. (2) US$ commodity price outlook based on the median analyst price estimate for calendar year 2020 from Bloomberg as at 21 August 2017, with percentage change measured relative to the respective actual commodity price as at 30 June 2017. Linear price relationship over the period June 2017 through December 2020 is assumed for illustrative purposes only.Source: FactSet, Bloomberg

Commodity price outlook2

The GMISI performed very strongly in FY17, increasing by 37% and materially outperforming the broader equity market(All Ordinaries Index finished FY17 up c.8.5%). This has also occurred at a time when the prices of many commodities areat broadly similar levels to those 12 months ago.

The re-rating of the GMISI reflects a number of factors, including:- the relatively depressed levels seen in early 2016;- a general view that the resources services market has bottomed and will return to growth, evidenced by increasing

spending on exploration spending as well as growing sustaining capex and some planned new projects;- continued growth in infrastructure spending, particularly on the eastern seaboard.
