Four external influences on GAP 1 The pricing environment • A strong pricing environment will enhance market values of equipment sold at auctions • Stable or increasing pricing environment provides consignors with more confidence to sell equipment through unreserved auctions 2 The mix of categories of assets sold • RBA sells a wide variety of industrial and agricultural equipment and other products. There is no consistency to the mix of assets sold, as it varies at each auction held due to regional, seasonal and cyclical factors. • The proportion of higher-valued items sold at each auction relative to smaller goods impacts the auction proceeds generated 3 The mix of equipment age • Newer equipment generally has a higher market value compared to older machinery 4 The number of Lots consigned • Each sale generates proceeds. Increasing the number of Lots sold can bolster gross auction proceeds 9 9

Age of equipment sold through RBA auctions Equipment production levels in prior years is reflected in age of assets sold • Drop in equipment production post financial crisis has impacted the age of assets available for sale. Production has since returned to pre-crisis levels • Other GAP influences remain strong: stable equipment pricing and growing number of Lots sold % OF GAP BY ASSET AGE 14% 2014 2009 2010 12% 2011 10% 2012 8% 2013 2014 6% 4% 2% 0% New 1 Yr Old 2 Yrs Old 3 Yrs Old 4 Yrs Old 5 Yrs Old 6 Yrs Old 7 Yrs Old 8 Yrs Old 9 Yrs Old 10 Yrs Old 10 Excludes assets with unknown age and those over 10 years. 10
