This year marked a pivotal milestone in our corporate journey, with the successful completion of our demerger from Anglo American plc, the launch of our new identity as Valterra Platinum and our secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange.
Safety remains our foremost priority, so it is with deep regret that we experienced a fatality at Unki on 20 April 2025 where Mr Felix Kore lost his life in a mobile machinery-related incident. We have thoroughly investigated the cause of the incident and we have implemented measures to prevent a similar occurrence. It is also with deep sadness that on 22 July 2025, we experienced a fatality at Amandelbult's Dishaba Mine, where Mr William Nkenke lost his life. A full investigation is currently underway. On behalf of the entire Valterra Platinum family, we convey our sincerest condolences to Mr Kore's and Mr Nkenke's families, friends and colleagues.
While we mourn these losses, we also recognise the achievement of significant safety milestones across our operations, which reflect the dedication of our teams to progress our journey to zero harm. These include 13 years fatality free at Mogalakwena and Mototolo mines; 9 years fatality free at Amandelbult's Tumela Mine and more than 2.5 years lost-time injury-free at the Polokwane Smelter. We have also seen a 12% improvement in our total recordable injury frequency rate to 1.46.
As we chart our course as an independent business, we have reconstituted an independent and diverse board of directors, we have made significant progress in transitioning from Anglo American's centralised services. Transitional Service Agreements are in place for some services, while other expertise and skills have been recruited into the company as part of our target operating model.
In March, we articulated our strategic priorities and investment case at our inaugural Capital Markets Day, receiving strong support from both existing and prospective investors. I want to thank every member of our team for their tireless dedication over the past year to bringing this transformative moment to life. Valterra Platinum is charting its own path, and we are doing so with purpose, strength and unity.
The extreme flooding event at Amandelbult demonstrated our ability to rapidly respond to major setbacks. All underground personnel were safely evacuated and the team swiftly secured critical infrastructure and accelerated the dewatering process. As a result, the Tumela Lower section was recommissioned ahead of schedule in June, with full ramp-up expected in Q3 2025. We are targeting 450,000 – 480,000 ounces in M&C PGM production from Amandelbult for the full year and back to normalised M&C production levels in 2026.
We have completed the pre-feasibility study for the Sandsloot underground project, which has affirmed that the technical and economic parameters used in the study are consistent with what we presented at our Capital Markets Day. We have commenced the feasibility study with a targeted completion in H1 2027 together with an investment decision, provided that it is in accordance with our capital allocation framework. The investment case for Sandsloot is compelling and our approach remains 'value over volume' with the potential to introduce higher underground grades at between 4 – 6g/t to blend in with open cast ore, this is the first step towards achieving our targeted 10 – 50% overall increase in Mogalakwena M&C production and a 10 – 20% reduction in AISC. Post the pre-feasibility study completion, our medium-term capital guidance for Sandsloot underground has been reduced to ~R1.5 – R2.5 billion per annum to advance the project (previously R2.0 – R3.3 billion).
Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we have reaffirmed our 2025 M&C and refined production guidance. Through our operational excellence programmes, we remain on track to deliver R4 billion in full-year operating cost savings. These efforts are focused on ensuring that our assets operate sustainably in the lower half of the industry cost curve. Coupled with our disciplined approach to capital allocation, we continue to be well positioned to sustain our track record of industryleading shareholder returns through the cycle. This is demonstrated through an interim dividend declaration by the board of R2.00 per share, which is in line with our dividend policy of 40% of headline earnings.

CRAIG MILLER | Chief executive officer
Our delivery of operational excellence is ongoing and we are on track to achieve R4 billion in cost savings in 2025.
The realised dollar basket price increased by 5% compared to the prior period to US\$1,517 per PGM ounce – marking its strongest level since H1 2023. The average realised platinum price was 5% higher than in H1 2024, with rhodium and ruthenium 11% and 56% higher, respectively, all making major contributions to the increase in our realised basket price.
Operational performance in the first half of 2025 was characterised by inclement weather-related impacts across the portfolio, the most severe being the flooding event at Amandelbult in February. This materially impacted operational performance at Amandelbult, resulting in M&C production at this operation declining by 45% or 128,700 ounces.
As a result, own-mined production declined by 12% or 125,400 ounces to 926,100 ounces. Excluding Amandelbult, own-mined production of 770,000 ounces was in line with H1 2024. Increased production at Mogalakwena and Mototolo, through benefits of our operational excellence, was offset by weaker volumes at Unki related to anticipated lower ore grades. POC volumes declined by 23% primarily owing to Kroondal's transition from a POC to a toll arrangement in September 2024. As a result, total M&C production of 1.47 million ounces is 17% lower compared to the prior period. Normalising the comparative period to exclude Kroondal implies a 5% reduction in POC volumes and 10% lower overall M&C production volumes.
Refined PGM production (excluding tolling) declined 22% to 1.39 million ounces due to lower total M&C production and the once in every three years stock count at the Precious Metals Refinery. The prior period's volumes included the release of built-up work-inprogress (WIP) inventories. The performance in the second quarter of 2025 was 118% higher than the first quarter due to the improved availability of the processing infrastructure post the Q1 2025 stock count, which should further support our ability to deliver on our guidance through a step up in M&C production in H2 2025. Normalising for Kroondal volumes in the prior period, resulted in an 18% decline in refined production.
Sales volumes were 25% lower, in line with the lower refined production or 20% lower if Kroondal volumes are excluded from the comparative period.
EBITDA of R6.6 billion was down 46% on the prior period, primarily due to a 25% decline in PGM sales volumes (excluding sales from trading) as well as the R1.4 billion one-off demerger related costs. Headline earnings decreased by 81% to R1.2 billion, or R4.73 per share primarily owing to the R5.7 billion lower EBITDA. Basic earnings were further impacted by asset scrappings of R0.9 billion in the period, therefore declining by 91% to R0.6 billion, or R2.23 per share.
Our balance sheet remains strong, further supported by the positive cash generation from our portfolio of assets, excluding Amandelbult. We ended the period in a net debt position of R4.9 billion, primarily due to the final 2024 dividend paid in April 2025 as part of the completion of our stand-alone capital structure; lower M&C and refined production; as well as the one-off demerger related costs. Despite this, leverage remained well within our financial guardrails, with the net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.3 times, including the customer prepayment, comfortably below our target gearing ratio of less than 1.0 times through the cycle.
The quantification of the insurance claims for the Amandelbult flooding are ongoing, with an interim payment request submitted to insurers in June 2025 for property damage of ~R550 million and ~R1.0 billion for business interruption. After period end, the insurer confirmed an interim payment of R1.4 billion. Preliminary indications, subject to change and adjustment as the claim quantification process progresses, is that our total claim will range between R4 billion and R5 billion before deductibles.
Consistent with our disciplined capital allocation framework, we continued to invest in our business spending ~R8.0 billion in total capital in H1 2025 to maintain asset integrity and reliability as well as invest in our world class asset base. This positions us well to deliver stable and sustainable production. The board declared an interim dividend of R2.00 per share. This is aligned with our dividend policy of paying ~40% of headline earnings and marks the 16th consecutive dividend payment since reinstatement in 2017, a best-in-class track record across the PGM sector that underscores our commitment to industry leading and consistent shareholder returns.
Operational improvements were evident in several key areas. Mining improvements include enhanced productivity at Mototolo, reflecting the benefits of a seven-day mining shift cycle implemented in the second quarter of 2024, and at Mogalakwena, a notable improvement as the pit optimisation initiatives and the value over volume approach gains momentum.
At Mototolo and Amandelbult, concentrator recoveries improved by 3 and 4 percentage points respectively compared to H1 2024 while chrome yields at our owned operations rose by 2 – 3 percentage points. These gains were particularly value accretive given the increase in average chrome prices during the first half of 2025. At Mogalakwena, early-stage optimisation of the newly commissioned Jameson cells yielded a 9% reduction in mass pull, which in turn contributed several benefits including the 9% reduction in the number of trucks on the road since December 2024 and a 5% reduction in energy utilisation. These advancements demonstrate our focus on embedding operational excellence and extracting value through innovation.
Our cost saving initiatives are ongoing. We are on track to deliver our targeted R4 billion in cost savings in 2025, with R2.1 billion achieved in the first half of 2025. This brings cumulative savings since the implementation of our strategy to reposition the business for improved resilience in early 2024 to R9.4 billion in operating expenditure and R5.0 billion in capital expenditure. These savings have enabled us to offset the impact of inflation for the past two years. In parallel, we remain relentless in our pursuit of further efficiencies without compromising our commitment to zero harm, nor the stability and integrity of our assets.
We expect the second half of the year to benefit from several operational tailwinds. These include the production recovery at Amandelbult and higher ore head grades at Mogalakwena due to the mining sequence – with 4E grades expected to achieve the previously guided 2.7 – 2.9 g/t. There is also improved processing infrastructure availability following the completion of scheduled maintenance and stock counts that will enable us to process the guided full-year production volumes as well as optimise our processing pipelines.
We remain on track to deliver M&C production within guidance after factoring in the Amandelbult flooding impact, albeit at the lower end. M&C production from our own operations is expected to be ~2.0 million PGM ounces and POC ~1.0 – 1.2 million PGM ounces. Refined production guidance of 3.0 – 3.4 million PGM ounces remains unchanged.
Cash operating unit cost guidance increased to between R19,000 – R19,500 per PGM ounce as a consequence of the Amandelbult flooding impact.
Capital expenditure guidance has been reduced to between R17.0 – R17.5 billion which is ~R1.0 billion lower than the previous 2025 guidance.
AISC is expected to be within guidance of US\$970 – US\$1,000 per 3E ounce, reflecting confidence in delivering our targeted cost savings and step up in production in the second half of the year.
Our strong production profile in the second half should allow us to realise the benefit of higher volumes sold into buoyant markets. We continue to believe that current
price levels remain below the thresholds required to incentivise new production. Our focus on sustaining capital investment, prudent cost control and operational consistency from our leading integrated value chain allows us to capture the upside from a continued recovery of PGM prices.
We have an extensive mineral resource endowment with an integrated asset base of industry leading processing facilities. Through our pursuit of operational excellence we seek to maintain our position in the first half of the PGM cost curve and deliver strong margins and cash flow generation. Through our disciplined capital allocation we will continue to invest across our portfolio and market development to ensure superior shareholder returns.
Looking ahead, we expect the second half of the year to benefit from several operational tailwinds. These include the production recovery at Amandelbult and higher ore head grades at Mogalakwena due to the mining sequence. There is also improved processing infrastructure availability following the completion of scheduled maintenance and stock counts, that will enable us to process the guided full-year production volumes, as well as optimise our processing pipelines.
Chief executive officer
Johannesburg 28 July 2025
Safety underpins our value delivery, defines who we are and shapes our behaviour. Zero harm is always our top priority, and we remain committed to eliminating fatalities in all our operations.
During H1 2025, we sadly experienced one fatal incident at Unki Mine in Zimbabwe on 20 April 2025, in which Mr Felix Kore tragically lost his life in a mobile equipment-related incident while working underground.
Our total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) improved to 1.46 per million hours at our operations, compared with 1.66 per million hours in the previous period. This is predominantly due to a decrease in total injuries, as we continue to strengthen our safety culture across employees and contractors. This reduction is mainly driven by increased focus on visible felt leadership (VFL) and increased attention to material risks, which could cause injury or harm.
Key focus areas include completing mobile equipment audits across all sites, aligning operational plans, supported by increased time spent in the field to ensure enhanced safety and compliance. SLAM (stop, look, assess, manage) assessments are conducted on an ongoing basis to assess risks and ensure critical controls are in place and effective. Progress is being tracked on safety leadership practices gap analysis action plans at sites where rollouts have occurred. Lastly, proper authorisation and escalation protocols are being reinforced, particularly when work deviates from standard procedures.
Valterra Platinum remains committed to supporting the long-term sustainability of the business by prioritising employee health and wellness. This includes effective management of occupational diseases and injuries, chronic disease care, risk-based medical surveillance, mental health support and compliance with legal health requirements.
Health outcomes have shown encouraging progress:
Sustainability is an integral part of how we conduct business and is fully integrated into our revised strategy and underpins all that we do. This is founded on responsible mining and operating principles aligned to the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) standard and has three specific focus areas as follows:
This aligns with our purpose and stakeholder expectations to deliver improved sustainability outcomes.
Valterra Platinum remains committed to a 30% reduction in scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a 2016 baseline by 2030. We are reducing our carbon footprint through several abatement initiatives with the immediate and near-term priority being the adding of renewable energy (solar PV and wind) to our energy offtake.
Electricity generated through fossil fuels currently contributes ~86% towards the company's GHG emissions. Coal represents ~8% and diesel ~6% of Valterra's GHG emissions.
The Envusa Energy Koruson 2 (K2) project is in the construction phase, however, the original target of the first energy from the phased development of K2 being delivered by Q4 2025 has been delayed to Q1 2026. The delivery of the project managed by Envusa Energy includes the Mooiplaats Solar PV plant (240MW) and two wind projects, Umsobomvu (140MW) and Hartebeeshoek (140MW). Valterra Platinum's off-take agreement contracts 461MW of the total 520MW. These projects are expected to reduce our GHG emissions by 30% by 2030.
An embedded 10MW solar PV project is currently in execution at Unki which is expected to fully come online by H1 2026. The Unki solar project is funded by Valterra Platinum.
In H1 2025 total energy consumption decreased to 9.24 million GJ (H1 2024: 9.97 million GJ) and GHG emissions decreased to 1.95Mt CO2(e) (H1 2024: 2.13Mt CO2(e)).
We remain committed to reducing our raw and potable water use through improved efficiency and ongoing water-saving initiatives.
During H1 2025, the freshwater intensity was 0.403m³ per tonne milled, with freshwater accounting for 16% of our total water withdrawals. Operational water efficiency, based on the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) definitions (excluding the smelters), was 64.4%. This reflects the successful implementation of reuse and recycling to retain a greater proportion of water within the water circuit.
Water conservation and water demand management, a compliance requirement, remain a priority at all sites. In this period, water supply disruptions affected our Rustenburg (May) and Amandelbult (February and June) operations due to planned and unplanned maintenance by Rand Water and Magalies Water.
Reducing reliance on freshwater through greater use of treated effluent remains a key focus. We have initiated the implementation of a new treatment facility at Rustenburg to enhance water security and reduce potable water use. We are also working closely with local authorities and have invested extensively in the wastewater treatment plants at Rustenburg, Polokwane and Mokopane to ensure a stable supply of good-quality process water.
The Olifants management model programme continues to be a key long-term initiative that will enable us to secure water supply to our operations cost effectively, support community access to water, build regional and community resilience to climate change and facilitate socio-economic development in the Limpopo province.
Maintaining our social licence to operate rests on ensuring that the communities around our operations experience improvements in their socio-economic circumstances owing to our presence. We continue to ensure that any adverse impacts are avoided or, where these occur, are properly mitigated.
In H1 2025, R401 million was spent on social investment, community development and empowerment, down from R473 million in H1 2024. Included in this investment was R100 million on social labour plans (SLP) and R58 million on our corporate social investment (CSI) and R243 million was paid out in dividends for community shareholdings in the Atomatic and Alchemy community participation scheme.
Our efforts to reset relationships with our community stakeholders are progressing well. This includes the collaborative work between government, traditional authorities and community members within resettlement processes, as well as managing cultural heritage risks.
Construction works associated with the relocation of the Seritarita school was largely concluded in December 2024, with an occupancy certificate issued by the local municipality. The relocation of the school, planned for Q3 2025, prioritises the health and safety of learners, teachers and ensures that we operate in line with environmental regulatory requirements. Final engagements with the relevant governmental departments to conclude on the operational readiness and implement the relocation are underway.
We continued with our investment in youth development through our partnership with the Youth Employment Services (YES) programme, supporting 633 youth from host communities over a 12-month programme, which ended in May 2025.
The education programme has delivered strong results, driving positive outcomes across our supported host community schools during H1. Over 90% of the schools have been rated green, indicating functional school leadership and complying with the set criteria to have good leadership and management.
Livelihoods remain our strategic focus. To guide the 2025 livelihoods plan, we used the number of on-site jobs at the end of 2024 as the baseline. Based on this, the 2025 target was set at 2.55 off-site jobs for every on-site job. By H1 2025, we had already created or sustained the ratio of 2.56 off-site jobs for every one on-site job.
Our bursary programme for communities was established to give disadvantaged youth from host communities access to higher education. Since its inception in 2022, the programme has grown from 75 to 141 students and has maintained a pass rate of over 80%. In total, 61 students are continuing their studies in 2025.
In a number of areas we are working collaboratively on broader community projects with other mines in the associated region, businesses, government and nongovernmental organisations. For example during H1 2025, the collaborative project to widen the Steelpoort bridge from a single to double lane was completed, greatly easing traffic flow to and from the town of Steelpoort and the surrounding mines. Other collaborative projects in the area include further improvements to the regional road infrastructure and schools.
Valterra Platinum maintains full confidence in the integrity and safety of its tailings storage facilities (TSFs), all of which are conforming with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM). These facilities are rigorously monitored through regular inspections, third-party audits, and stability assessments by an independent Engineer of Record, with oversight from the Independent Technical Review Body. In addition to robust infrastructure, Valterra prioritises emergency preparedness by actively engaging neighbouring communities through safety drills, accredited training, and clear evacuation protocols. This collaborative approach, supported by local and district municipalities together with various emergency services departments, ensures that both technical and community safeguards are in place, reinforcing the resilience and responsible management of our TSFs.
In line with the GISTM requirements, the TSF disclosure document will be updated and re-issued in August 2025 (based on self-assessment) for 'extreme' or 'very high' potential consequences of failure of facilities.
We continue to improve our sustainability performance and management of material ESG issues. This, together with increased transparency, is demonstrated in continued recognitions in our ESG scores and accolades from various ESG ratings agencies.
In Q1 2025 Mogalakwena achieved an Initiative of Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) accreditation with a 50 recognition which means that all our owned mining operations are now IRMA accredited. This is a significant milestone, making us the only mining company with all our operations IRMA certified.
We achieved the following in H1 2025:

1 PGM oz production adjusted for Kroondal prior period volumes moving from a pure purchase of concentrate arrangement to a 4E tolling arrangement in Q4 2024.
Total H1 2025 M&C PGM production adjusted for Kroondal volume, declined by 10% to 1,465,300 PGM ounces (H1 2024: 1,620,400 PGM ounces). M&C production was largely impacted by the excessive rains and the flooding event that Amandelbult experienced in Q1 2025. Excluding the impact of the Amandelbult flooding, M&C production was flat against H1 2024.
EBITDA from own-mined operations was R5.8 billion (H1 2024: R10.1 billion) with a mining EBITDA margin of 22% (H1 2024: 31%). Lower EBITDA and economic free cash flow were due to a 25% decline in PGM sales volume (excluding trading).
Inflation for mining assets was 5.0% and for processing assets 7.2%. Electricity tariff increased by 13% compared to H1 2024, materially higher than CPI of 2.9%. Valterra Platinum weighted average input cost inflation was ~5.1%.
Mogalakwena's PGM production increased by 2% to 461,300 PGM ounces (H1 2024: 452,100 PGM ounces). The increase was due to higher tonnes milled of 4% partly offset by a lower plant head grade which declined 2% to 2.48 grammes per tonne (g/t). Tonnes milled rose to 7.3Mt (H1 2024: 7.0Mt) to mitigate the impact of blending low-grade ore stockpiles.
In line with the optimised mine plan, the total tonnes mined decreased 15% to 38.6 million tonnes. Ore tonnes remained flat at 5.9 million tonnes while waste tonnes reduced 17% to 32.7 million tonnes.
Our progress relating to the Sandsloot underground project during the reporting period includes bulk ore sampling with 31,000 tonnes of reef stockpiled, 12.8km of exploration drilling and advancing the decline development by a further 1.6km, bringing total exploration drilling since inception to 43km and the cumulative decline development to 8.0km.
Cash operating costs increased by 7% to R7.8 billion (H1 2024: R7.3 billion) principally due to higher ore stockpile costs and increased tonnes milled. Cash unit costs rose 5% to R16,834 per PGM ounce (H1 2024: R16,078).
AISC increased 2% to US\$938 per 3E ounce sold (H1 2024: US\$922) primarily owing to 19% lower 3E ounces sold.
EBITDA contribution from Mogalakwena at R5.0 billion was R400 million below that generated in H1 2024. The mining EBITDA margin was steady at 40%. The mine generated R600 million in economic free cash flow for the first half of the year (H1 2024: R2.0 billion).
PGM production at Amandelbult declined by 45% to 156,000 PGM ounces (H1 2024: 284,700 PGM ounces) due to the excessive rains and the flooding that occurred in February.
All areas were restored to normal operating conditions in March, other than Tumela Lower where the most significant flooding occurred. Dishaba Mine production was stable throughout the second quarter while Tumela Mine underwent shaft dewatering, infrastructure repairs and preparations to recommence production at Tumela Lower. Mining operations at Tumela Lower resumed in June 2025, while maintenance and infrastructure repairs continue. In addition, we continue to work on extensively improving flood defence systems and appropriate response measures to mitigate against a similar occurrence. The mine is expected to reach normalised production in the third quarter to produce between 450,000 and 480,000 PGM ounces for the year against 580,000 ounces in 2024.
Tonnes milled decreased by 45% to 1.1Mt (H1 2024: 2.1Mt) and the 4E built-up head grade decreased to 4.26g/t (H1 2024: 4.50g/t). The drop in built-up head grade was mainly as a result of ore mix due to lower supply of ore from Tumela Mine, which generally yields higher-grade ore than Dishaba Mine.
Chrome production decreased by 40% to 253,900 tonnes due to the flood event (H1 2024: 424,300 tonnes).
Cash operating costs decreased by 8% to R5.9 billion (H1 2024: R6.5 billion), reflecting the variable cost savings from the lower mined volumes as well as the impact of the restructuring that occurred in the second half of 2024 and the cost reduction programme. The mine incurred R263 million of costs on flood recovery work in the first half of 2025.
Amandelbult's unit cost increased by 73% to R37,990 per PGM ounce (H1 2024: R21,917 per PGM ounce) due to lower M&C production. Unit costs excluding the flood impact are 12% lower at R19,339 per PGM ounce. AISC increased by 102% to US\$2,057 per 3E ounce sold (H1 2024: US\$1,020 per 3E ounce).
EBITDA declined by 147% to -R1.0 billion (H1 2024: R2.2 billion).
Mototolo's PGM production increased by 4% to 133,600 PGM ounces (H1 2024: 128,200 PGM ounces), due to the implementation of the seven-day shift cycle which commenced in Q2 2024 as well as improved concentrator recovery achieved through improved plant stability.
Tonnes milled increased by 5% against H1 2024 due to increased mining volume, partly impacted by a decrease in 4E built-up head grade to 3.32g/t (H1 2024: 3.47g/t).
Chrome tonnes produced for H1 2025 were 68,800 tonnes. The delivery of the chrome tonnes to Glencore under the purchase of the mine agreement was completed in August 2024, from this date we started operating the plant and marketing 100% of the production at commercial prices.
Cash operating costs at Mototolo increased by 6% to R2.4 billion (H1 2024: R2.2 billion) reflecting the increase in production volumes partly offset by cost savings on consumables. Unit costs (excluding Der Brochen ramp-up) increased by 3% to R16,718 per PGM ounce (H1 2024: R16,250 per PGM ounce). AISC increased by 8% to US\$994 per 3E ounce sold (H1 2024: US\$923 per 3E ounce sold) due to lower 3E ounces sales volume.
Mototolo's EBITDA decreased by 7% to R1.0 billion (H1 2024: R1.1 billion) primarily due to lower sales volumes, with a mining EBITDA margin of 29% (H1 2024: 31%). Economic free cash flow was R0.7 billion (H1 2024: R0.9 billion).
The Der Brochen shaft life extension project is progressing as planned with production anticipated to continue to ramp up in H2 2025. Total capital expenditure for H1 2025 was R0.8 billion compared to R0.5 billion in H1 2024.
M&C PGM production decreased by 9% to 107,500 PGM ounces (H1 2024: 117,500 PGM ounces), due to lower grade and plant recovery. This was offset by a 1% increase in tonnes milled vs H1 2024.
Unki, which is a US dollar-denominated operation, saw its cash operating costs decrease by 1% to US\$119 million (H1 2024: US\$120 million), offsetting inflationary increases.
The US dollar unit cost increased by 9% to US\$1,109 per PGM ounce (H1 2024: US\$1,017 per PGM ounce). AISC increased by 9% to US\$1,020 per 3E ounce sold (H1 2024: US\$937 per 3E ounce sold) principally due to lower 3E ounces sold.
Unki's EBITDA decreased by 2% to R0.7 billion (H1 2024: R0.7 billion) with a mining EBITDA margin of 23% (H1 2024: 20%). Economic free cash flow was R0.1 billion (H1 2024: R0.5 billion).
Total PGM production from the Modikwa joint operation is on an attributable basis, reflecting 50% of the total volume.
Modikwa's PGM production decreased marginally to 67,700 PGM ounces (H1 2024: 69,000 PGM ounces), due to lower plant recovery following the treatment of higher volumes of the opencast material, to supplement lower production owing to the South 1 shaft being placed on care and maintenance. The mine treated 64,000 tonnes of opencast compared to 13,000 tonnes in the prior period.
Overall 4E built-up head grade of 3.89g/t increased by 1% (H1 2024: 3.87g/t). Tonnes milled increased by 6% to 589,000 tonnes (H1 2024: 556,000).
The chrome plant produced 23,000 tonnes of chrome concentrate in H1 2025, remaining flat compared to H1 2024.
Our share of Modikwa's costs remained flat at R1.5 billion (H1 2024: R1.5 billion) due to the benefits of South 1 shaft being on care and maintenance and lower cost ounces from the open pit operations. Unit cost per PGM ounce produced rose by 2% to R21,559 (H1 2024: R21,130). AISC increased by 8% to US\$1,222 per 3E ounce sold (H1 2024: US\$1,134 per 3E ounce sold).
Attributable EBITDA decreased by 21% to R0.3 billion (H1 2024: R0.4 billion), with a mining EBITDA margin of 19% (H1 2024: 21%).
Normalising the comparative period to exclude Kroondal, which transitioned to a 4E tolling arrangement in September 2024, M&C PGM production in concentrate purchased declined 5% to 539,200 ounces (H1 2024: 568,900) due to lower receipts from most of the third parties.
Purchase of concentrate (POC) costs reduced 11% to R11.8 billion (H1 2024: R13.3 billion) due to the lower volumes purchased. Revenue declined 22% to R14.0 billion (H1 2024: R18.1 billion) due to 27% lower sales volume.
EBITDA decreased to R2.2 billion (H1 2024: R4.0 billion), reflecting an EBITDA margin of 16% compared to a margin of 22% in the prior period.
| Refined production | H1 2025 | H1 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (from operation) | ounces | ounces | % |
| PGMs | 1,391,100 | 1,781,500 | (22) |
| Platinum | 625,200 | 826,700 | (24) |
| Palladium | 428,100 | 578,900 | (26) |
Refined PGM production (excluding tolling) decreased by 22% to 1,391,100 ounces (H1 2024: 1,781,500 ounces). Adjusted for the Kroondal transition, refined production declined 18% to 1,391,100 from 1,695,000 ounces. The lower refined production was as a consequence of lower total M&C production and a drawdown of work-inprogress inventory in the prior period.
Nickel production decreased by 12% to 10,600 tonnes (H1 2024: 12,000 tonnes) and copper production decreased by 16% to 6,600 tonnes (H1 2024: 7,900 tonnes) as the prior period included the release of work-in-progress inventory, which is now at normalised levels.
Total chrome production decreased by 23% to 346,500 tonnes, mainly due to lower volumes from Amandelbult following the floods, partially offset by increased chrome production of 69,000 tonnes at Mototolo. Modikwa joint operation chrome production remained constant for the quarter at ~23,000 tonnes.
| Toll refining | H1 2025 | H1 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (from third parties) | ounces | ounces | % |
| PGMs | 402,200 | 293,100 | 37 |
| Platinum | 238,900 | 171,500 | 39 |
| Palladium | 124,200 | 91,000 | 36 |
Toll refining volumes increased by 37% to 402,200 ounces (H1 2024: 293,100 ounces), reflecting the transition of Kroondal to a 4E toll arrangement. Adjusting the prior period, classifying all POC 4E Kroondal production as toll refined volume, total toll refined production increased 6% from 379,500 PGM ounces.
The EBITDA margin on tolling was 47% (H1 2024: 48%).
| Sales volume | H1 2025 ounces |
H1 2024 ounces |

|---|---|---|---|
| PGMs | 1,475,200 | 1,973,600 | (25) |
| Platinum | 623,200 | 865,800 | (28) |
| Palladium | 439,100 | 634,100 | (31) |
PGM sales volumes (excluding trading) decreased by 25% to 1,475,200 PGM ounces (H1 2024: 1,973,600 PGM ounces), as a result of lower refined production and, in the prior period, sales were supported by the drawdown of finished goods inventory.
Adjusted for the Kroondal transition, sales volume declined 20% to 1,468,400 from 1,841,9000 ounces.
The company's financial performance was adversely impacted by the Amandelbult flooding event and expected one-off demerger and separation. From a controllable perspective the company continued to demonstrate disciplined cost and capital management, underscoring a solid foundation for long term value creation.
We delivered R2.1 billion of operating and overhead cost reductions against our full year target of R4 billion. ~R1.0 billion was attributable to lower labour costs as a result of the 2024 operational restructuring, ~R0.6 billion delivered from consumables optimisation, ~R0.5 billion in corporate cost and other sundry-related savings and ~R0.1 billion from contractor reductions.
EBITDA for H1 2025 was R6.6 billion (H1 2024: R12.3 billion). Excluding the flooding event impact of R4.6 billion as well as the one-off demerger and separation costs of R1.4 billion, EBITDA for the period was R12.6 billion or 2% higher than the prior period.
The balance sheet remained strong, supported by R4.9 billion sustaining free cash flow excluding the one-off impacts relating to the Amandelbult flood of R4.6 billion, historical recharge payments made to Anglo American plc of R2.2 billion and demerger costs of R0.3 billion. We ended the period in a net debt position of R4.9 billion, after the payment of the 2024 final dividend of R16.5 billion. The net debt to EBITDA ratio was 0.3 times, including the customer prepayment, comfortably below our target gearing ratio of 1.0 times through the cycle.
In line with our disciplined and balanced capital allocation framework, the board declared an interim dividend of R2.00 per share or R0.5 billion, in line with our policy of 40% of headline earnings.
Looking ahead to the second half of the year, our financial performance is expected to reflect the benefit of higher volumes sold in a stronger PGM price environment, supported by the full delivery of our cost reduction initiatives as well as optimised capital expenditure realised through more focused and agile execution of projects.

Net revenue was R42.3 billion (H1 2024: R52.2 billion), 19% below the prior year, due to a 25% decline in PGM sales volume (excluding trading). The decline reflects lower refined production due to lower M&C production, the prior period's release of built up work-in-progress inventories, the transition of Kroondal volumes to a 4E tolling arrangement in September 2024 and the once in every three years stock count at the PMR. This was partially offset by the PGM basket price strengthening by 5% to US\$1,517, with the realised platinum, rhodium and ruthenium prices up 5%, 11% and 56%, respectively, while the realised palladium price reduced by 2%.
Revenue from tolling was R1.1 billion (H1 2024: R0.8 billion), 38% higher than the prior period due to additional tolling volumes from Kroondal. Net revenue from trading activities was R0.3 billion (H1 2024: R0.4 billion).
Cost of sales for the first half of the year decreased by 9% to R37.2 billion (H1 2024: R40.9 billion).
Mining costs for the period remained flat year-on-year at R15.5 billion (H1 2024: R15.5 billion) as a result of mining cost savings of R2.1 billion offsetting input cost inflation of ~ 5.0% (equating to R1.5 billion) and other cost increases. Processing costs decreased by 3% to R6.3 billion (H1 2024: R6.5 billion), mainly as a result of the placement of the Mortimer Smelter on care and maintenance from the end of April 2024 and the benefits of the reduction in mass pull starting to realise.
POC costs decreased by 11% to R11.8 billion (H1 2024: R13.3 billion), mainly due to lower volumes equating to R3.3 billion and foreign exchange impacts of R0.2 billion, partially offset by higher prices of R2.0 billion.
Included in cost of sales is a positive stock count adjustment of R1.3 billion (H1 2024: R1.2 billion) and a net realisable value (NRV) reversal of R0.2 billion (H1 2024: NRV reversal of R77 million).
Depreciation increased to R4.0 billion (H1 2024: R3.5 billion), driven by the capitalisation of the Waterval Slag cleaning furnace and Converter Plant (CP) rebuilds, as well as the impact of the incremental Mogalakwena mining fleet and new rope shovel procured during the 2023/2024 cycle.
Overhead costs reduced by R0.1 billion as a result of the cost-out programme and early realisation of some demerger synergies such as optimised labour structures and reduced overheads.
One-off demerger costs incurred in 2025 amounted to R0.3 billion relating to advisory and rebranding costs. An additional R1.1 billion was accrued relating to historical services provided by Anglo American plc. We expect further demerger related costs of ~R0.7 billion to be incurred in the second half of 2025 relating to final separation activities. A portion of these costs is expected to be capitalised, where linked to qualifying assets.
Cash operating unit cost excluding the Amandelbult flood related impact, decreased by 2% to R17,952 per PGM ounce (H1 2024: R18,280). Including this impact, the unit cost is R20,580/PGM oz.
The AISC for the first half of the year excluding the Amandelbult flood-related impact, marginally increased by 1% to US\$962 per 3E ounce sold (H1 2024: US\$957 per 3E oz). Including this impact, the AISC is US\$1,213 per 3E ounce.
EBITDA was 46% lower than the prior period at R6.6 billion (H1 2024: R12.3 billion). The benefit of higher PGM prices and foreign exchange movements was R1.2 billion, offset by inflation increases of R0.7 billion. The Amandelbult flooding impact was a R4.6 billion reduction in earnings and the demerger related costs, including the settlement of recharges from Anglo American plc was R1.4 billion. Earnings were further impacted by lower sales volumes of R2.3 billion due to lower refined production, partially offset by cost reductions of R2.1 billion.
Mining operations generated an operating EBITDA of R5.8 billion (H1 2024: R10.1 billion), while POC and toll contracts EBITDA was R2.7 billion (H1 2024: R4.3 billion). This resulted in an EBITDA mining margin of 22% (H1 2024: 31%) and POC and a toll margin of 18% (H1 2024: 23%).
Headline earnings amounted to R1.2 billion (H1 2024: R6.5 billion) owing to the R5.7 billion lower EBITDA, and a combination of higher depreciation and other one-off items, partly mitigated by a R1.3 billion lower taxation charge. HEPS was R4.73 (H1 2024: R24.56).
Basic earnings for the first half of the year were R0.6 billion (H1 2024: R6.3 billion) or R2.23/share (H1 2024: R24.02). Included in basic earnings is a R0.9 billion scrapping of assets, mainly relating to the design and engineering work for the SO2 abatement plant at the Mortimer Smelter, following the decision to place Mortimer Smelter on care and maintenance.
Working capital (inventory, trade debtors, trade creditors, customer prepayment and other working capital) as at 30 June 2025 was R3.0 billion, compared to negative R0.8 billion at 31 December 2024, an increase of R3.8 billion.
Metal inventory increased by R3.1 billion mainly as a result of a positive stock count adjustment of R1.3 billion and an increase in POC inventory resulting from an increase in the platinum and rhodium unit costs driven by an increase in realised platinum and rhodium prices. Ore stockpiles decreased by R0.2 billion.
Other working capital decreased by R2.0 billion, primarily due to the payment of the Anglo American plc recharges.
The POC creditor increased by R1.5 billion largely due to R1.6 billion impact of higher prices and R0.3 billion relating to higher volumes, partially offset by foreign exchange impacts of R0.4 billion.
Working capital decreased by a further R0.3 billion driven by an increase in the customer prepayment as a result of prices.
Total capital expenditure excluding interest capitalised in H1 2025 was R7.9 billion, a 7% reduction from R8.5 billion incurred in H1 2024. Capital expenditure is made up of sustaining capital expenditure of R6.7 billion (H1 2024: 7.0 billion), breakthrough capital of R0.6 billion (H1 2024: R1.0 billion) and major project capital relating to Mogalakwena underground of R0.6 billion (H1 2024: R0.5 billion).

1 Total capital expenditure excludes capitalised interest.
Stay-in-business (SIB) capital expenditure was R2.7 billion (H1 2024: R2.6 billion). This was mainly incurred under the capital maintenance programme across the operations (R1.7 billion), Mogalakwena heavy mining equipment (HME) maintenance (R0.2 billion), underground mining equipment maintenance (R0.1 billion), tailings facilities raising at Mogalakwena and Unki (R0.2 billion) and emergency repairs related to the Q1 flooding at Amandelbult (R0.1 billion).
Capitalised waste stripping decreased to R2.4 billion (H1 2024: R2.5 billion), in line with lower waste volumes mined as part of the pit optimisation.
Life extension capital was R1.6 billion (H1 2024: R1.9 billion). This was mainly incurred on infrastructure development at Der Brochen (R0.8 billion), Mareesburg tailings storage (R0.1 billion), sinking of the Dishaba ventilation shaft (R0.1 billion), and construction of the second Mogalakwena Blinkwater tailings storage facilities (R0.1 billion).
Breakthrough project capital totalled R0.6 billion (H1 2024: R1.0 billion). This was mainly incurred at Base Metals Refinery (BMR) on the copper debottlenecking project and to enhance tank and storage capacity as a contingency against operational disruptions (R0.2 billion).
Major projects capital of R0.6 billion (2023: R0.5 billion) was incurred on the development and drilling at Sandsloot underground.
Cash generated from operations (excluding one-off impacts of R7.1 billion) for the first half of the year was R11.6 billion, which was utilised to fund R7.9 billion of capital expenditure, R0.6 billion taxation and R0.4 billion of net interest. Foreign exchange translations and other movements decreased cash by R1.6 billion leading to a net cash position of R2.2 billion, after the H2 2024 dividend payment of R16.5 billion.
After the one-off impacts, the company ended the first half of the year in a net debt position of R4.9 billion (31 December 2024: net cash position of R17.6 billion), a cash outflow of R22.5 billion from 31 December 2024. This represents 0.3 times net debt to EBITDA, including the customer prepayment, which is well below our self-imposed target of less than 1 times net debt to EBITDA. Excluding the customer prepayment, net debt was R16.5 billion.
Following the demerger, the refinancing process was successfully concluded, ensuring continuity of sufficient liquidity.
Committed facilities totalled R31.2 billion, of which R14.4 billion was drawn at 30 June 2025. Liquidity headroom is at R27.1 billion, comprising both undrawn facilities of R16.8 billion and gross cash of R10.3 billion, including the customer prepayment.
In line with the company's dividend policy of a 40% payout of headline earnings, the board declared an interim dividend of R2.00 per share, or R0.5 billion. The company's dividend announcement contains the full dividend timetable.
During the period, the group changed its estimate of the quantities of inventory based on the outcome of a physical count of in-process metal. The group runs a theoretical metal inventory system based on inputs, the results of previous counts and outputs. Due to the nature of in-process inventories being contained in weirs, pipes and other vessels, physical counts only take place once per annum, except in the PMR, where the physical count is usually conducted every three years.
The change in estimate had the effect of increasing the value of inventory disclosed in the financial statements by R1.3 million. This results in the recognition of an after-tax gain of R1 billion.
Valterra Platinum produces platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium, as well as by-products including gold, nickel, copper and chrome and co-products.
PGM prices were generally firm in H1 2025, with most ending the period strongly after a weak start. The realised basket price was US\$1,517 per ounce, 5% higher than in H1 2024, and recording its highest level since H1 2023.
The main contributions to this increase came from platinum and rhodium. The former (London settlement price) averaged US\$1,022 per ounce, 8% higher year-on-year, and its best first-half performance since 2021. The latter (using Johnson Matthey (JM) base price) averaged US\$5,196 per ounce, up 13% year-onyear, and its strongest half-year since its price fell heavily in H1 2023. Palladium (London settlement price) averaged US\$976 per ounce, unchanged from its average in H1 2024, though 2% lower than its average in H2 2024.
In 2024, the minor PGMs continued to show contrasting trends. Using the JM base price, iridium averaged US\$4,215 per ounce, a 14% fall year-on-year, but ruthenium averaged US\$572 per ounce, 32% higher than a year before.
Platinum started 2025 at a low price just above US\$900 per ounce, but by mid-February had rallied above US\$1,000 per ounce, helped by a decline in the US dollar as forex traders reassessed previous bullish assumptions.
The fear that the new US administration's aggressive trade policy would mean levies on all US imports also meant there was a rush to move high-value, easily transported and stored goods like precious metals into the country prior to tariff implementations. As a result, metal availability in the London market tightened.
Platinum's relatively strong start to the year came to an end in early April when the White House announced sweeping tariffs on most of the US's major trading partners, leading to a slump in global equity markets. Platinum fell in tandem, trading intra-day again nearly US\$900 per ounce. Adding to the pressures was that the tariffs exempted most forms of PGMs, raising doubts that the metal that had moved to the US would remain there.
From here, however, the platinum price recovered. Many of the proposed tariffs were put on hold or otherwise softened, and the White House promised trade deals. The dollar, which tellingly had not enjoyed its normal rally when equities were stressed, resumed its fall.
Platinum was still below US\$1,000 per ounce, however, as of mid-May, it then rallied to US\$1,100 per ounce by the end of that month, and after an initial failure to breach that level, succeeded in early June. This triggered rapid gains, with the price soaring over US\$1,400 per ounce by late June, its strongest since 2014.
The gains were underpinned by a more favourable macro-backdrop, but clearly driven by other factors. Strong Chinese buying, attributed to renewed interest from local jewellery manufacturers and investors, met underwhelming supply given relatively low South African production earlier in the year. This exacerbated a shortage of metal in London, sending three-month platinum lease rates, which had averaged around 2% in 2024, to a multi-year high of over 15%.
Platinum ended the half-year at US\$1,350 per ounce, nearly 50% higher than where it began the year. We expect it will be in a sizeable deficit in 2025 as strong jewellery buying and weak mine supply offsets slightly weaker automotive demand.
The palladium price traded at a similar level and with similar fluctuations to platinum for the first four months of 2025, with their respective spot prices never varying by more than 5% either way. A falling US dollar provided underlying support, and the first quarter saw some shift of metal from London to New York in anticipation of a general tariff, although on a lesser scale than in platinum. Having begun the year at US\$910 per ounce, palladium ended the first quarter nearing US\$1,000 per ounce.
The US announcement of broad tariffs in early April saw palladium tumble, reaching just US\$901 per ounce. An earlier announcement of tariffs on autos and auto parts added to the gloom.
From May, as platinum began to rally, palladium too picked up, though less impressively, hamstrung by worsening economic and auto forecasts. Palladium briefly rallied over US\$1,000 per ounce in the middle of the month, setting new highs for the year, but ended the month at just US\$964 per ounce.
In June, however, it began to rally more strongly, amid signs of resilient automotive demand and with sizeable purchases by exchange-traded fund (ETF) investors. It closed the month out at its year high of US\$1,134 per ounce, up 25% on its end-2024 price (albeit it still at a multi-year discount to its sister metal).
We estimate palladium will likely be in a small deficit in 2025, a similar outcome to previously expected, as lower mine output offsets potentially weaker automotive demand. There is much uncertainty, however, given the strong start to 2025 for auto sales beginning to see auto forecasts revised higher.
Rhodium in H1 2025 broke out of the trading range it had held since mid-2023, establishing itself above US\$5,000 per ounce.
It began the year with the price trading around US\$4,600 per ounce, with only limited fluctuations until early March. Then it jumped higher as ongoing firm demand met signs that South African supply was struggling. A peak of US\$6,050 per ounce came in mid-March, the highest since June 2023.
These levels could not be sustained, especially given macro-economic turmoil, but although the rhodium price quickly fell back, for most of the rest of the half traded around US\$5,400 per ounce. It ended the half at US\$5,475 per ounce, 20% higher than where it ended in 2024.
Rhodium is likely to be in a small deficit this year again.
Iridium was the worst-performing PGM, averaging lower than not just H1 2024 but also H2 2024. This reflected weak pricing into year-end on well-stocked end-users amid some overcapacity in downstream sectors. It finished H1 2025, however, stronger, meaning it was little changed than where it began it at US\$4,325 per ounce.
Ruthenium, by contrast, was the best-performing PGM, driven by electronics demand and speculative activity. It closed the first half at US\$695 per ounce, a level not seen since Q3 2021 and 49% higher than where it began 2025.
Nickel extended the softness observed in the previous year in H1 2025, weighed down by oversupply. It (LME three-month price) averaged US\$15,575 per tonne, a 12% decline compared to H1 2024, however, it ended the half year roughly unchanged from the start of the year.
Copper, by contrast, was better supported throughout the period, though price volatility reflected shifting macro-economic and geopolitical events. It averaged (LME three-month price) US\$9,436 per tonne in H1 2025, a 3% increase compared to H1 2024. Copper ended H1 2025 at US\$9,869 per tonne, 13% up from the start of the year.
Gold was exceptionally strong during H1 2025, averaging (London settlement price) US\$3,075 per ounce, 39% higher year-on-year. Over the six months, it surged by more than 25%, marking its strongest performance since the global financial crisis, reaching a new all-time price high of over US\$3,500 per ounce.
UG2 chrome ore averaged a realised US\$247 per tonne in H1 2025, a 4% decrease compared to the same period in 2024, as logistical and supply disruption and seasonally strong construction activity in China were offset by winter maintenance shutdowns at several South African ferrochrome smelters, a key consumer.
The outlook for PGM automotive demand, which accounts for about two-thirds of total platinum, palladium and rhodium demand, is highly uncertain at present as analysts and automakers grapple with the impact of US trade policy and other geopolitical shifts, as well as ongoing technological shifts.
Sales of light vehicles, the most important driver of PGM automotive demand, were 5% higher in H1 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, according to GlobalData (Global Light Vehicle Sales Update – July 2025). Three factors appear key: first, sales in the comparable period of 2024 were relatively weak. Second, sales in China have been boosted by trade-in incentives and a price war. Finally, US sales have been supported by a robust economy and some 'pull-forward' demand from consumers ahead of anticipated tariffrelated price increases.
Global automotive production was also higher. We estimate, using publicly available data, it was up 4% year-on-year in January to May. For the remainder of 2025, however, there is considerable uncertainty over automotive sales and production due to tariffs. Automotive consultancies cut expectations sharply after tariff announcements in April, especially for the US, but began to push them higher towards the end of H1 2025 as sales held up, some of the highest tariffs were paused or removed, and global economic confidence rebounded.
Non-PGM containing battery electric vehicles (BEVs) account for only a small share of new car sales but this share is widely expected to see rapid growth. Growth has accelerated so far in 2025 but their share is in line with forecasts at the start of the year and still below where it had been forecast to be a few years ago. Leading the way has been China. In Europe, BEVs have gained market share as anticipated, while in the US, their growth has stalled amid a shifting political climate
Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and range-extender electric vehicles (REEVs), which still use internal combustion engines and require PGM catalysts, continue to grow market share.
Finally, average PGM loadings per catalysed vehicle had fallen in recent years from very high levels, partly on some technological thrifting, especially in China, but also on a 'mix effect' as sales have shifted towards areas with less rigorous emission standards.
In China, many factors explain lower loadings, but one appears to be that certain provisions in the Chinese emissions standard and the way it is tested make compliance more straightforward than with the same generation standard in Europe. In 2025, the Chinese authorities made a series of proposals to remedy this. The first to be finalised was aimed at heavy trucks and hybrids and focused on closing enforcement gaps. Other reforms are likely to follow, and there is a growing consensus that these could lead to higher PGM loadings.
Industrial demand for PGMs comes from a wide variety of roles outside catalytic converters, jewellery or investment. Despite trade war fears, industrial production growth remained solid in H1 2025 as a strong end to 2024 continued into 2025.
Sector-wise, stronger PGM demand is expected this year from the glass industry, with the dominant Chinese industry seeing an upturn in its fortunes. Platinum is more likely to benefit than rhodium as manufacturers continue to bear down on cost, especially given rhodium's higher price from February onwards (the impact of platinum's rally is yet to be felt). Chemicals demand is likely to be stable, but electronics demand should keep rising. This is especially true in the hard disk sector, and hence for ruthenium and platinum, where the expansion of data centres, often AI-related, continues to grow rapidly.
Jewellery accounts for around one-sixth of gross platinum demand, with small amounts of other PGMs used largely as alloys. The platinum jewellery market today is both more geographically diverse and smaller than it was a decade ago. Growth in the US, Europe and India has been more than offset by a decline in China, the once-dominant market.
In 2025, however, global gross jewellery demand looks set for robust growth. After stabilising in 2024, China's platinum jewellery demand volumes are likely to rise. The very high price of gold has sparked interest among jewellery manufacturers, prompting sizeable wholesale purchases of platinum, which should persist into H2 2025. What is yet unknown is to what extent consumer interest will also improve. New platinum collections from jewellers launched during Q2 2025, and promises of more in Q3 2025 suggest potential upside, but there is naturally cautiousness.
In the US and Europe, bridal platinum jewellery has been stronger than expected this year, also boosted by relative affordability compared to gold jewellery. Volumes held at the high levels reached during the Covid-19 years. In India, generally the fastest-growing major market, domestic demand is expected to grow further, notwithstanding export sector challenges from US tariffs.
The macro-economic backdrop for PGM investment in H1 2025 was mixed. Interest rates fell globally, but not in the US. Macro-economic uncertainty drove gold to a record high, not usually the best backdrop for PGMs. Most positively for many investors was the sustained fall in the US dollar.
Both platinum and palladium saw decent buying interest in ETFs. Platinum ETFs recorded inflows of 67,000 ounces in H1 2025 as investors bought into rising prices. Palladium saw larger net inflows of 166,000 ounces, with the bulk of the purchasing coming in June.
Speculators on the NYMEX futures exchange in New York became more bullish in platinum, and less bearish in palladium. Chinese retail platinum investment across coins and bars saw continued strong purchasing.
Global refined platinum, palladium and rhodium (3E) mine supply began 2025 on a weaker footing. In South Africa and Zimbabwe, accounting for some 60% of global mine 5E PGM supply, refined output was 16% lower year-on-year as of April, according to Statistics South Africa. Output is likely to rise in H2 2025, given normal seasonality.
In Russia, 25% of global mine 5E PGM supply, but 40% of palladium, almost all output comes from Norilsk Nickel, which said it had produced 741,000 ounces of palladium in Q1 2025, down 1% on the same period of 2024, but 1% more platinum at 180,000 ounces. It maintained its full-year guidance, which is similar to that achieved in 2024. North American PGM mine output, roughly 10% of the total 5E PGM mine output, has likely also fallen so far this year, given Sibanye-Stillwater's cuts to its US Stillwater mine.
Secondary supply of PGMs, most of which comes from autocatalysts recycling, has been lower than expected in recent years. Factors driving this include fewer cars than expected being scrapped and legal and regulatory issues affecting collection and processing. So far in 2025, industry assessments are that more cars are being scrapped and catalysts processed than in 2024, but at levels still far below those seen previously. As such, recycled PGM volumes are forecast to rise only modestly and again fall short of expectations.
In the near-to-medium term, we anticipate that platinum will remain in a sizeable deficit while palladium and rhodium will see more balanced markets. The most significant demand-side factor is likely to be the automotive market. This sector currently faces elevated uncertainty from short-term economic issues such as volatile trade policies, in addition to longer-term technological change.
Industry analysts forecast light-vehicle production to continue to rise to meet higher demand from richer and more populous societies. However, most expect the pace of growth to fall relative to gross domestic product (GDP) growth compared with historical trends. While these theories are plausible, they remain largely untested. If the historical relationship between GDP growth and auto sales growth reasserted itself, and GDP growth continues at normal levels, there would be considerable upside to such forecasts.
In terms of drivetrain, for the rest of this decade as a minimum, most of those new vehicles will continue to have internal combustion engines (ICEs), and hence will need PGM catalysts. This includes all types of hybrid vehicles.
It is highly likely that the share of BEVs, that do not use PGM catalysts, will rise further, thereby reducing PGM demand. But the pace of this shift is uncertain. While 2025 will bring renewed growth, the pace will vary globally. Outside China, many car makers have cut investment into BEV factories and rolled back or delayed their commitments to phase out ICE vehicles, while some governments, such as in the US, have reduced or eliminated subsidies. Longer-term analyst projections therefore continue to be cut, raising the likelihood of more PGM-positive outcomes than previously anticipated.
The trend of declining PGM loadings seen in China is likely to level off or reverse in the coming years, as authorities there move to improve emissions monitoring and the next generation of emissions standards come into focus. In the US and Europe standards and testing continue to tighten. Heavy-duty vehicle PGM demand should remain solid given slow electrification (and could rise if more heavily PGM-loaded natural gas trucks gain popularity elsewhere other than China).
Industrial PGM demand is likely to grow in the future, given its necessity for a wide range of sectors such as glass, electronics and chemicals crucial to the modern world, while also benefiting from an expanding global middle class. Tariffs pose a downside risk but may create opportunities for industrial PGM demand linked to capital spending if countries seek to build domestic industrial capacity.
The hydrogen economy is set to be a broad demand sector with strong growth. Various challenges need to be overcome, however, such as a less favourable policy backdrop in the US and high electricity costs in many regions.
Jewellery demand has significant upside potential. Platinum's affordability relative to gold has raised the possibility of taking share from white gold and even competing with yellow gold in China. Other regions have seen strong growth in recent years and prospects remain solid.
On the supply side, PGM mine production will likely fall, as some miners have announced production cuts and all have been cutting capital expenditure and costs. Mine sales will track lower, with most WIP inventory having already been processed. Recent PGM basket price increases might delay some shaft closures but are unlikely to have a significant impact on new investment given long lead times and a cautious approach.
Russian output is expected to be stable at current levels, despite challenges from sanctions and other impacts of the war in Ukraine. Current restrictions put in place since the war began could be tightened or eased, but as Russian metal still flows relatively freely, this limits the impact if it were the latter.
PGM recycling, mostly from spent autocatalysts, is expected to rise in coming years from current depressed levels given expected scrappage trends and higher new car sales, as well as potentially higher PGM prices, but indications from the industry are that some issues inhibiting volume growth are deep-rooted.
PGM prices primarily reflect supply/demand fundamentals but are also influenced by currency fluctuations, the timing of stock sales, forward purchasing and selling, and speculative behaviour. After a long period of destocking, most PGM market participants likely entered 2025 with lower-than-normal stocks, a situation that likely contributed to the price rally seen at the end of H1 2025.
We remain on track to deliver M&C production within guidance after factoring in the Amandelbult flooding impact, albeit at the lower end. M&C production from own operations, including our 50% share of Modikwa, is expected to be ~2 million PGM ounces and POC is expected to be between ~1.0 and 1.2 million PGM ounces. The Siyanda Bakgatla Platinum Mine (Siyanda) POC transitioned to a 4E tolling arrangement effective 1 May 2025. Valterra Platinum and Siyanda Resources entered into a marketing agreement where the company purchases the refined 4E metal, which is then marketed together with our own production. Valterra Platinum will continue to reflect M&C production and refined production for this material as part of purchase of concentrate activities until end of the 24-month marketing agreement. Refined production guidance of ~3.0 to 3.4 million ounces remains unchanged.
Outlook for the outer years remains unchanged. Total M&C PGM production in 2026 is expected to range between 3.0 – 3.4 million ounces with own-mine production at 2.1 – 2.3 million ounces. Refined production is expected to remain flat at ~3.0 to 3.4 million.
In 2027, total M&C PGM production and refined production are anticipated increase slightly to 3.0 – 3.5 million ounces, driven by higher grades at Mogalakwena which supports an uplift in own-mine production to 2.3 – 2.5 million ounces.
During 2026 and 2027, volume processed on behalf of third parties will change due to the contractual termination of the arrangement with Sibanye-Stillwater in Rustenburg at the end of December 2026, termination of 50% of the volume processed for Impala Platinum's Impala Bafokeng Resources mine in August 2027 and the Siyanda material accounted for as toll arrangement after the end of the marketing arrangement from May 2027.
Operational guidance for the next three years is forecast as follows:
| Units | 2025 Guidance |
2026 Estimate |
2027 Estimate |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Own-mines PGMs | (Moz) | ~2.0 | 2.1 – 2.3 | 2.3 – 2.5 |
| POC PGMs | (Moz) | 1.0 – 1.2 | 0.9 – 1.1 | 0.7 – 1.0 |
| Total M&C | (Moz) | 3.0 – 3.2 | 3.0 – 3.4 | 3.0 – 3.5 |
| Refined production PGMs (Moz) | 3.0 – 3.4 | 3.0 – 3.4 | 3.0 – 3.5 |
We are on track to deliver the full year targeted savings of R4.0 billion, with R2.1 billion achieved in the first half of the year.
Cash operating unit cost guidance has been revised to between R19,000 – R19,500 per PGM ounce – after factoring the impact of Amandelbult flooding. AISC is expected to be within guidance of US\$970 – US\$1,000 per 3E ounce, reflecting confidence in delivering the targeted cost savings and step up in production in the second half.
The quantification of the insurance claims for the Amandelbult flooding is ongoing, with an interim payment request submitted to the insurers in June 2025 for property damage of ~R550 million and ~R1.0 billion for business interruption. After period end, the insurer confirmed an interim payment of R1.4 billion. Preliminary indications, subject to change and adjustment as the claim quantification process progresses, is that our total claim will range between R4.0 billion and R5.0 billion before deductibles.

Total capital expenditure guidance for 2025 is expected to be lower by approximately R1 billion at R17.0 – R17.5 billion, with SIB capital at a range of R6.5 – R6.9 billion, Lifex at R4.0 – R4.1 billion and Mogalakwena underground at R1.5 billion.
Total capital expenditure guidance for 2026 and 2027 has been revised to ~R19.0 billion. The 2026 and 2027 guidance will be finalised with the next budget planning cycle.
A journey that began just over a year ago has culminated in the successful demerger from Anglo American plc and our secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange. Our bold corporate identity is asserting its presence and reflects our purpose: unearthing value to better our world. We have executed on our plan for a smooth transition from Anglo American plc centralised services to in-house expertise and, where necessary, concluded transitional service agreements.
Our focus for H2 2025 is to safely restore Amandelbult to full production. We are progressing our operational excellence initiatives to further enhance our current strong operational performance. These include the optimisation of the Jameson cells to realise the full benefit of increased concentrator recoveries and reduced mass pull, further pit optimisation at Mogalakwena together with increased head grade to within our 2.7 – 2.9g/t medium-term guidance range, advance concentrator recovery and chrome yield improvements across the portfolio, and progress the ramp-up of the Der Brochen declines.
We are committed to delivering our guided R4 billion in cost savings in 2025 and will continue to look for opportunities to further reduce costs.
The operational tailwinds in H2 2025 position us well to deliver significantly higher refined ounces into a radically higher basket price, which should materially uplift our free cash flow generation. We will maintain our capital allocation discipline, which is to prioritise sustaining capex and our base dividend followed by value-accretive projects and additional shareholder returns.
We have an extensive mineral resource endowment with an integrated asset base of industry leading processing facilities. Through our pursuit of operational excellence we seek to maintain our position in the first half of the PGM cost curve and deliver strong margins and cash flow generation. Through our disciplined capital allocation we will continue to invest across our portfolio and market development to ensure superior shareholder returns.
In July 2025, we appointed Ms Deborah Gudgeon and Ms Thoko Mokgosi-Mwantembe as additional independent non-executive directors. These appointments enhance the balance of knowledge, skills, experience and diversity on the board for it to discharge its governance role and responsibilities objectively and effectively into the future, including in relation to the company's secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange. This concludes the process of reconstituting our board of directors, which consists of two executive directors and nine independent non-executive directors.

for the six months ended 30 June 2025
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with and contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim financial reporting, the South African Companies Act, No 71 of 2008, as amended, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, the Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and in compliance with the listings requirements of the JSE for interim reports.
The preparation of the Valterra Platinum group's (group) reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 were supervised by the chief financial officer, Mrs Sayurie Naidoo CA(SA).
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the board of directors on 24 July 2025.
The financial position of the group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities for the six months ended 30 June 2025 are set out in this announcement. The group's net debt at 30 June 2025 was R4.9 billion. The group's liquidity position (defined as cash and undrawn committed facilities, excluding the contract liability) of R27.2 billion at 30 June 2025 remains strong. Details of borrowings and facilities are set out in note 15.
The board is satisfied that the group's forecasts and projections, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the group will be able to operate within the level of its current facilities for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Profit for the period was lower due to a decline in PGM sales volumes as well as one-off demerger-related costs. This decline in sales reflects lower refined production as a consequence of the drawdown of excess work-inprogress in 2024, reduced M&C production due to significant rainfall and flooding in February 2025 that disrupted operations at Tumela Mine at Amandelbult, the transition of Kroondal volumes to a 4E tolling arrangement and a once in every three years stock count at the Precious Metals Refinery. The decline was partially offset by cost savings achieved during the period, which had the impact of countering inflation. The group's borrowing facilities were renegotiated as set out in note 15, and borrowings increased mainly as a result of the dividend payment of R16.4 billion.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are in terms of the Accounting Standards and are consistent with those applied in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Impact of new standards issued and amendments to existing standards not yet effective.
At the reporting date, the following new accounting standards and amendments to existing standards were in issue but not yet effective:
| Effective for annual periods commencing |

|---|---|
| New standards and amendments | on or after: |
| • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7. Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments.

It also adds and updates certain disclosure requirements. |
1 January 2026 |
| • Introduction of IFRS 18 . The Presentation and disclosure in financial statements standard will change how companies present their results on the face of the income statement and disclose information in the notes to the financial statements. This includes disclosures of certain 'non-GAAP' measures – management performance measures – which will form part of the audited financial statements. |
1 January 2027 |
| • IFRS 19 . This new standard will Subsidiaries without public accountability disclosures work alongside other IFRS accounting standards. An eligible subsidiary will apply the requirements in other IFRS accounting standards except for the disclosure requirements and instead apply the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19. |
1 January 2027 |
| • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture – deal with situations where there is a sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures. |
Optional |
The group is in the process of assessing the potential impacts of these standards on future reporting periods.

3 Pipeline production from 2023 own volumes sales coming through in 2024.
4 Other mined includes assets on care and maintenance.
5 The share of profits from equity-accounted entities of R448 million has been disaggregated from the other mined line item for the financial reporting period ended 30 June 2024. This reclassification had no impact on the group's earnings nor on any amounts presented in the statement of financial position.
7Restructuring costs per reportable segment: Mogalakwena R2 million (30 June 2024: R83 million; 31 December 2024: R102 million), Amandelbult R45 million (30 June 2024: R516 million; 31 December 2024: R631 million), Modikwa R19 million (30 June 2024: Rnil; 31 December 2024: R47 million), and Mototolo R3 million (30 June 2024: R7 million; 31 December 2024: R7 million). The remainder of the restructuring costs of R99 million (30 June 2024: R415 million; 31 December 2024: R1,430 million) relates to allocated corporate, smelting and refining operations of the group.
8Non-mining-related foreign exchange gains/(losses).
The chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the executive committee (exco). Information reported to the exco, for purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is done on a mine-by-mine basis. Performance of purchase of metals, tolling and trading activities is also evaluated.
Although revenue and costs are allocated to mines on a rational basis for internal reporting and segment reporting, the mines do not independently generate revenue. The marketing and sales of precious metals does not differentiate between the source of the refined metal owing to the homogenous and fungible nature of the product which is refined to predetermined industry certified standards. Sales are not differentiated on the basis of the source of the mined ore.
The group's mining, smelting and refining operations are all located in South Africa with the exception of Unki Mine and smelter, which is located in Zimbabwe. The group's marketing activities are located in London and Singapore.
6 Includes purchases and leasing of third-party refined metal, borrowing and lending.

1Non-current inventories consist of low-grade ore stockpiles and work-in-progress metal inventory that is not expected to be processed in the next 12 months. Work-in-progress metal inventory of R5,365 million (30 June 2024: R5,407 million; 31 December 2024: R5,206 million) is classified as non-current. Work is underway to convert Mortimer Smelter to a slag cleaning furnace in the medium term which would enable the processing of work-in-progress metal inventory.
Included in cost of sales is a reversal of NRV write-downs of R226 million (30 June 2024: reversal of NRV writedown of R77 million; 31 December 2024: write-down of R907 million). The write-downs and reversals of writedowns resulted from changes in the price environment.
The forward-looking metal prices, exchange rate and discount rate have a significant impact on the NRV of the non-current work-in-progress metal inventories. A 10% increase in metal prices would have decreased the NRV write-down by R370 million (31 December 2024: R350 million) and a 10% decrease in metal prices would have increased the NRV write-down by R570 million (31 December 2024: R527 million). A 10% weakening of the ZAR against the US\$ would have decreased the NRV write-down by R370 million (31 December 2024: R350 million) and a 10% strengthening of the ZAR against the US\$ would have increased the NRV write-down by R570 million (31 December 2024: R527 million). A 1% increase in the discount rate would have increased the NRV write-down by R179 million (31 December 2024: R187 million) and a 1% decrease in discount rate would have decreased the NRV write-down by R170 million (31 December 2024: R165 million).

The borrowing powers in terms of the memorandum of incorporation of the holding company and its subsidiaries are unlimited. Prior to the demerger from Anglo American, committed facilities were defined as the bank's, Anglo American Rand Capital Limited and Anglo American SA Finance's commitment to provide funding, up to the facility limit, until maturity of the facility. Ahead of the demerger, amounts owing under the Anglo American Rand Capital Limited and Anglo American SA Finance facilities were repaid and the facilities subsequently cancelled.
The group has successfully renegotiated certain borrowing facilities and implemented new borrowing facilities with existing and new banking partners and now has committed facilities of R31.2 billion. These facilities are the individual bank's commitment to provide funding, up to the facility limit, until maturity of the respective facility. Individual drawdown requests are made under the facilities which specifies the term of the drawdown. Drawdowns in the form of overnight advances are repayable on demand and classified as current borrowings. Drawdowns where the group has the right to defer settlement for at least 12 months are classified as noncurrent.
Interest on ZAR facilities is charged at JIBAR plus a margin while interest on US\$ facilities is charged at SOFR plus a margin. The expectation is that JIBAR will be replaced by ZARONIA as part of the JIBAR reform. This is not expected to have a material impact on the interest charged.
Drawdowns and repayments of borrowing facilities that satisfy the net presentation requirements in IAS 7 Statement of cash flowsare presented on a net basis in the statement of cash flows.

The group has, in the case of some of its mines, provided the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy with guarantees that cover the difference between the closure costs and amounts held in the environmental trusts. At 30 June 2025, these guarantees amounted to R6,183 million (30 June 2024: R6,207 million; 31 December 2024: R5,808 million).
In February 2025, significant rainfall in the northern part of South Africa, compounded by the collapse of the Bierspruit dam near Swartklip caused water ingress at Tumela Mine at the Amandelbult Complex, flooding both the Tumela and Dishaba shafts. The quantification of insurance claims are ongoing, however, an interim payment request was submitted to the insurers in June 2025, requesting payment for property damage ranging from R450 million to R550 million and R1 billion to R1.2 billion for business interruption. After period end, the insurer confirmed an interim payment of R1.4 billion. The preliminary total value of the claim is estimated to range between R4 billion and R5 billion before deductibles. All amounts are subject to change and adjustment as the claim quantification progresses.
Prior to the demerger from Anglo American plc, the company and its subsidiaries, in the ordinary course of business, entered into various sale, purchase, service and lease transactions with Anglo American South Africa Proprietary Limited (parent company) and the ultimate holding company (Anglo American plc), their subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates, as well as transactions with the group's associates. Certain deposits and borrowings were also placed with subsidiaries of the holding company. The group participated in the Anglo American plc insurance programme. Effective 31 May 2025, Valterra Platinum demerged from Anglo American plc, consequently from this date, the entities mentioned above are no longer considered related parties of the group for IFRS purposes1.
As a result, only material related party transactions with subsidiaries and associates of Anglo American plc and the group's associates up to 31 May 2025 which are not disclosed elsewhere in the notes to the financial statements are disclosed below.

| Foreign currency forwards | (4) | (3) | — |
Commodity forward contracts include physical forwards, physical swaps, physical lends and borrows. Other commodity contracts mainly relate to options.
for the six months ended 30 June 2025
Level 2 fair values for other financial assets and liabilities relate specifically to commodity forward and other contracts and foreign currency forwards. Level 2 fair values for investments held in environmental trusts relate to quoted equities and bonds and Level 2 fair values for trade receivables relate to provisionally priced sales contracts.
Level 2 fair values for trade and other payables relate to the embedded derivative arising on the purchase of concentrate trade payables, metal leasing payables and other provisionally priced purchase contracts. The settlement of the purchase of concentrate trade payables takes place on average three to four months after the purchase has taken place. The fair value of the embedded derivative is a function of the expected ZAR:US\$ exchange rate and the metal prices at the time of settlement.
Provisionally priced trade receivables and payables are measured at fair value using market-related inputs. The measurement is therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The inputs used in the model are the applicable price curve at the reporting date and the applicable prices during the quotation period up to the reporting date.
Metal leasing payables are measured based on open lease-in position with reference to forward prices at the reporting date.
Derivative assets and derivative liabilities, namely commodity forward contracts and options contracts are measured with reference to market prices at the reporting period. The resulting unrealised losses, excluding contracts within any margining facilities are recorded as derivative liabilities and unrealised profits are recorded as derivative assets. The market prices used to value these transactions take into account various factors including published forward prices.
The Level 3 fair value of other financial assets comprises investment in unlisted companies AP Ventures Fund II, AP Ventures Fund III, SA SME Fund, Rand Mutual Holdings Limited and Medical Investments Limited. These investments are irrevocably designated as at FVTOCI per IFRS 9 Financial instruments and the deferred consideration on the disposal of Kroondal and preference shares held in Anglo American Marketing Limited, which are classified as financial assets at FVTPL. The fair values of investments at FVTOCI are based on unobservable market data, and estimated with reference to recent third-party transactions in the instruments of the company. The fair value of the investment in AP Ventures Fund II and AP Ventures Fund III was determined using a mixture of methodologies such as discounted cash flow (DCF) exit, perpetual growth valuation methodologies, First Chicago Method and last funding round valuation to estimate the fair value of each portfolio company. The fair value of deferred consideration and the preference shares is based on the underlying discounted cash flows expected.
The Level 3 fair value of other financial liabilities comprises the components of the deferred consideration on the acquisition of control in Mototolo, which is classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL. The fair value is based on the underlying discounted cash flows expected.

1 These are included in fair value remeasurements of financial assets and liabilities in the statement of comprehensive income. Deferred consideration terms are as follows:
The deferred consideration of R925 million was payable monthly over a period of 72 months from the effective date in November 2018 in monthly instalments, as well as annual top-up payments where applicable. The deferred consideration is remeasured based on the actual 4E PGM prices realised over the deferred consideration period. The maximum amount payable is limited to R22 billion. The final payment was made in November 2024. In terms of the agreement, Valterra Platinum is entitled to refunds under certain limited circumstances including assessed Income Tax benefits realised by the Seller on the transaction. The estimated refund is R110 million. The estimated refund was determined based on the deferred consideration payments over the deferred consideration period and no longer subject to 4E PGM prices as the deferred consideration period has come to an end. The discount rate used in the calculation is 9.12% (30 June 2024: 9.60%; 31 December 2024: 9.12%).
Deferred consideration is calculated as 35% of the distributable free cash flows generated by Union over an 11-year period from inception in February 2018. In terms of the agreement, if the cumulative deferred consideration is negative at the end of the 11-year period, Valterra Platinum will be obligated to repay Siyanda the cumulative deferred consideration received. The maximum cap on the deferred consideration is R6 billion. Based on current forecasts the cumulative deferred consideration is positive. Based on the current estimates, no further deferred consideration is expected to be receivable from Union.
for the six months ended 30 June 2025
Assumed expected cash flows, discount rates and commodity prices have a significant impact on the amounts recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Changes in the underlying key inputs and assumptions would have the following impact:

Based on current estimates, no further deferred consideration will be receivable on Union Mine, including a scenario where there is a 10% increase in prices and exchange rates, therefore the sensitivities are Rnil.
The Kroondal deferred consideration has come to an end therefore sensitivities have not been included.
The remaining Mototolo deferred consideration relates to a refund linked to tax, therefore the balance is not sensitive to movements in prices and exchange rates, consequently no sensitivities are included.
During the period, the group changed its estimate of quantities of inventory based on the outcome of a physical count of in-process metal. The group runs a theoretical metal inventory system based on inputs, the results of previous counts and outputs. Due to the nature of in-process inventories being contained in weirs, pipes and other vessels, physical counts only take place once per annum, except in the Precious Metals Refinery, where the physical count is usually conducted every three years.
The change in estimate had the effect of increasing the value of inventory disclosed in the financial statements by R1,314 million. This results in the recognition of an after-tax gain of R959 million.
There are no post-balance sheet events other than disclosed below.
An interim dividend of R2 per share (R0.5 billion) for the period ended 30 June 2025 was declared after period end.

| Target | H1 2025 performance | ||
| Full implementation of the GISTM standard to full conformance by 5 August 2023 for the facilities with 'Extreme' or 'Very high' potential consequences classification of structures (CCS) rating |
Valterra Platinum maintains full confidence in the integrity and safety of its tailings storage facilities (TSFs), all of which are conforming with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM). These facilities are rigorously monitored through regular inspections, third-party audits, and stability assessments by an independent Engineer of Record, with oversight from the Independent Technical Review Body. In addition to robust infrastructure, Valterra prioritises emergency preparedness by actively engaging neighbouring communities through safety drills, accredited training and clear evacuation protocols. This collaborative approach, supported by local and district municipalities together with various emergency services departments, ensures that both technical and community safeguards are in place, reinforcing the resilience and responsible management of our TSFs. In line with the GISTM requirements, the TSF disclosure document will be updated and re-issued in August 2025 (based on self-assessment) for |

| Livelihoods | |
|---|---|
| Target | H1 2025 performance |
| 2025 target: 2.55 off-site for every one job on-site |
In order to develop an implementation plan for livelihoods into 2025, we have used the on-site jobs as at the end of 2024 as a baseline. The last reported on-site numbers at the end of 2024 for the VP were established as 28,027 on-site jobs and this resulted in a livelihoods target for 2025 of 71,469 off-site jobs. As at the end of Q2 2025 71,780 jobs have been created/sustained. For H1 2025 we have been able to create and sustain 1,438 jobs. Current ratio is 2.56 jobs created/sustained for every one on-site job. This exceeds our proposed target for 2025 of 2.55 jobs for every one on-site job. |

Certain elements made in this annual results constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as 'believes', 'expects', 'may', 'will', 'could', 'should', 'intends', 'estimates', 'plans', 'assumes', or 'anticipates' or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of, eg future plans, present or future events, or strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company's control and all of which are based on the company's current beliefs and expectations about future events. Such statements are based on current expectations and, by their current nature, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially from any expected future results or performance, expressed or implied, by the forward-looking statement. No assurance can be given that such future results will be achieved; actual events or results may differ materially as a result of risks and uncertainties facing the company and its subsidiaries.
