Anglo American Platinum trading statement for the twelve months ended 31 December 2024

06 February, 2025

Anglo American Platinum will release its results for the twelve months ended 31 December 2024 (“the period”) on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange News Service on or about 17 February 2025.

In accordance with section 3.4(b) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised that the financial results for the period are expected to differ by at least 20% from the financial results of the previous corresponding period:

  • headline earnings and headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) for the period have decreased by between 36% and 46% compared to the twelve months ended 31 December 2023 (the “prior period”). Headline earnings are likely to be between R7.6 billion and R9.0 billion (R14 billion in 2023) and HEPS is expected to be between 2,889 cents per share and 3,421 cents per share (5,330 cents per share in 2023); and
  • basic earnings and earnings per share (“EPS”) for the period have decreased by between 42% and 52% compared to the prior period. Basic earnings are likely to be between R6.3 billion and R7.6 billion (R13 billion in 2023) and EPS is expected to be between 2,395 cents per share and 2,889 cents per share (4,952 cents per share in 2023).

The decrease in earnings compared to 2023 is primarily due to a 13% decline in realised ZAR PGM prices. Most notably, palladium and rhodium realised US dollar prices decreased 24% and 30% respectively.

Headline earnings were impacted by R3.5 billion in non-recurring costs associated with recent operational and corporate restructurings, the demerger and losses from associates. Basic earnings were further impacted by R1.9 billion write-down of assets, mainly relating to the coarse particle recovery technology at Mogalakwena. These non-recurring costs had a negative impact on EPS and HEPS of ~1,700 cents per share and ~1,100 cent per share respectively.

Taxation and royalties declined in line with lower profits.

The financial information contained in this announcement has not been audited or reported on by the Company’s auditors.
