Non-IFRS Measures
----- End of picture text -----
==> picture [137 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
We supplement our financial information reporting determined under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with certain non-IFRS financial measures, including cash operating costs. We believe that these measures provide meaningful information to assist management, investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance.
-
Cash operating costs ˃ Calculated according to common mining industry practice using The Gold Institute (USA) Production Cost Standard (1999 revision)
-
˃ Refer December 2014 Quarterly Report available at www.stbarbara.com.au for example
-
All-In Sustaining Cost ˃ All-In Sustaining Cost is based on Cash Operating Costs, and adds items relevant to sustaining production. It includes some, but not all, of the components identified in World Gold Council’s Guidance Note on Non-GAAP Metrics - All-In Sustaining Costs and All-In Costs (June 2013)
-
EBITDA ˃ Earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortisation Gearing ˃ Net debt ÷ (net debt + equity)
-
Natural hedge ˃ A natural hedge matches cash inflows and outflows to some degree, however, it is imperfect. It reduces but does not eliminate risk.
-
Net debt ˃ Interest bearing borrowings – cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) Significant items ˃ Items included in IFRS Net Profit After Tax that the Board and Management consider may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, core operating results (such as profit or loss on gold options, or the sale of tenement rights)
