Non-IFRS Measures
----- End of picture text -----
==> picture [136 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 most recent 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). Refer most recent quarterly report available at www.stbarbara.com.au for example
-
Cash contribution • Refer cash movements table in Finance section of corresponding Quarterly Report. It is the sum of ‘operating cash flow’ from individual operations, net of sustaining capital expenditure.
