MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
OVERVIEW
“Mining with purpose” describes our way of operating at Harmony. We believe that these words form the foundation upon which our strategic decision-making process is based.
The first six months of this financial year have been characterised by a number of temporary head-winds that negatively impacted our results, testing our resolve but demonstrating our resilience and determination. Our de-risked, quality portfolio has ensured we have maintained our momentum. We remain resolute to execute on our goal of creating shared value for all our stakeholders. An example of this was the successful three-year wage agreement which we signed with all five unions in September 2021.
The wellbeing of our people remains our number one priority as we continue to deliver on our strategic objectives of producing safe, profitable ounces whilst improving our margins through operational excellence and value accretive acquisitions.
Revenue for the period increased by 2% to R21 951 million (US$1 461 million) for H1FY22 compared to R21 588 million (US$1 329 million) in H1FY21. This was as a result of a 6% increase in gold sales to 24 674kg (793 288oz) from 23 309kg (749 400oz).
The company delivered a 4% increase in production year on year to 24 226kg (778 879oz) from 23 183kg (745 347oz) in H1FY21.
Despite the increased production, net profit decreased by 69% to R1 404 million (US$96 million) from R4 600 million (US$284 million) in H1FY21. This was due to: a lower gold price received and the higher all-in sustaining cost (AISC) as a result of safety-related stoppages at some of our South African mines, geotechnical issues and unplanned labour stoppages at some of our larger underground mines in South Africa and at Hidden Valley in Papua New Guinea.
As we aim to deliver positive total shareholder returns alongside our growth and sustainability aspirations,
we are delighted to declare a half-year dividend of 40 SA cents (2.7 US cents) per share.
Safety and health
Safety is the cornerstone of our commitment to mining with purpose. More than just a moral imperative, safety underlies all we do as a business. It is our first value and is a leadership priority. Eliminating all work-related safety incidents is the key to the successful delivery of our strategic objectives.
After the December 2021 break, all our foreign employees managed to get back across the South African borders both safely and timeously. Much of the success of this return-to-work process was due to our new integrated and digitised health management system. In addition, over 90% of our employees in South Africa have been vaccinated voluntarily against Covid-19. Our five registered and authorised vaccination facilities remain fully operational and we urge everyone to get vaccinated as we strive to reach our target of getting 100% of our employees vaccinated.
We have implemented and integrated a multitude of systemic components to ensure we have the controls and daily safety data available to prevent accidents before they occur. The most important aspect however, is changing human behaviour and embedding a proactive safety culture aligned to our five values. This humanistic or cultural change is called our Thibakotsi journey. We have built the foundations and empowered our leaders during the first two phases of our safety journey and have progressed to phase three of our four-phase model. This phase entails operation-specific interventions to ensure everyone across all levels truly believes in what we are doing to improve safety by changing the hearts and minds of all our employees. This is a vitally important part of our journey to ensure zero-harm and a safe work environment at all times.
Despite the progress we have made as it relates to safety, accidents remain a constant and real threat. It thus remains a cause of deep sadness and disappointment that we continue to report avoidable work-related injuries and the loss-of-life incidents at
our operations. As we continue with the hard work towards making our operations safer, we again pledge our commitment to eliminate all work-related incidents and ensure our people return home safely and with a sense of pride, purpose and belonging.
We pay our respects to the following seven colleagues who lost their lives in mine-related incidents in H1FY22 and express our sadness at their passing:
Thembile Simon Mabala, rock drill operator from Tshepong South; Pule Jan Mokhatsi, stope team member from Moab Khotsong; Richard Mohapi, rock drill operator from Mponeng; Thobela Gwangxu, winch operator from Kusasalethu; Mbongeni Zulu, stope team member from Kusasalethu; Sicelo Tshovana, artisan from Doornkop and Andile Michael Mafilika, stope team leader from Kusasalethu.
As a group, our lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) is at 5.74 for H1FY22 compared to 6.18 per million hours worked at the end of FY21.
Our loss of life injury frequency rate (FIFR) increased to 0.14 in H1FY22 compared to 0.11 per million hours worked at the end of FY21.
Our total injury accident frequency rate is at 6.99 in H1FY22 compared to 7.45 at the end of FY21 and there has been an improvement as this rate has steadily declined over the past decade.
Hidden Valley’s LTIFR and FIFR remains at zero for the reportable period.
Some of the notable safety milestones achieved in H1FY22 included:
•the South African underground mines achieved 1 million loss-of-life free shifts on two separate occasions during the second quarter of FY22
•the South African mines achieved 19 million rail bound equipment loss of life free shifts, while Tshepong South and Kusasalethu recorded 5 million and 2 million rail bound equipment loss of life free shifts respectively
•Hidden Valley achieved zero lost time injuries and the 12-month moving average LTIFR remains at zero
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Harmony has demonstrated over the past 71 years that responsible stewardship, as our first strategic pillar, is integrated in our strategy and ESG is embedded across all we do. Our commitment to true sustainability is evident in the pro-active steps we take to make positive contributions across all spheres of society.
We are proud of the external recognition we continue to receive. Harmony has again been included in the FTSE4Good index. The company also achieved a score of ‘A’ from the CDP for our best practice water management strategy. Further to this, we have also been included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the 2022 review period. This is Harmony’s fourth consecutive inclusion in this index, testament to the fact that we foster gender-diversity and inclusivity, and treat all our employees fairly without bias or prejudice of any kind.
It is evident from these external recognitions and continual improvements in our ratings that we are committed to a greener and more equitable future, creating and sharing value for all our stakeholders.
More information is available in our ESG and TCFD reports on our website.
Renewable energy projects
To demonstrate our commitment towards good ESG practices and achieving a low-carbon future, we will be accelerating the expansion and roll-out of numerous renewable energy projects.
The first phase of our renewable energy journey consists of a 30MW solar energy plant in the Free State. Commercial close for the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is imminent. In phase 2, we will be building an additional 137MW of renewable energy at our various longer-life mines while phase 3 is in planning stage and progressing as anticipated. We
expect phase 2 of our renewable energy project to deliver over R500 million per annum in electricity cost savings once it reaches full production in FY25.
We have also implemented more than 200 energy-saving initiatives which have yielded a cumulative saving of approximately R1 billion since 2016. These initiatives have resulted in a 1.3 terawatt-hour energy reduction alongside a reduction of 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions.
As part of our journey towards achieving our ambition of net zero by 2045, we have set ourselves three interim CO2 reduction targets of 20% by 2026, 40% by 2031 and 60% by 2036.
As we strive to achieve our goal of carbon-neutrality, we will continue with our cost savings initiatives while assessing and monitoring our progress against our set emissions targets. All else being equal, Harmony hopes to achieve net zero emissions by 2045.
Furthermore, we are also pleased to report a reduction in our water, energy and emission intensities as a result of our sizeable surface source business.
As we continue on our growth path, it is important to deliver on a clear strategy to reduce both our carbon footprint and the impact we have on the environment. We are in the process of finalising our group environmental targets. These targets will be available on our website once they have been approved by the board.
Operational and financial results for the six-month period ended 31 December 2021 (compared to the six-month period ended 31 December 2020)
The contribution from our longer-life, high-grade underground assets along with that from our high margin, low-cost South African surface business is delivering the outcome we intended. The decision to acquire Moab Khotsong in 2018 and then Mponeng and related assets in October 2020, was precisely because we understood that we had to replace some mined out ounces whilst also recapitalising some of
our assets to regain optimal performance. These projects will take time and thus the free cash generated from our new assets has ensured we can fund both our organic and growth projects simultaneously. Our robust and flexible balance sheet will allow us to continue to de-risk and further transform our portfolio in the coming years.
The 4% higher comparable gold production was mainly due to the 4% increase in production from the South African underground operations to 17 961kg (577 457oz) from 17 294kg (556 011oz) and the 17% increase in production from the surface business to 4 394kg (141 269oz) from 3 741kg (120 276oz) in the previous reporting period.
South African underground operations
The increase in underground production was predominantly a result of the inclusion of six-months' production from Mponeng compared to only three-months' production in the comparable period. This resulted in the 72% increase in production from Mponeng to 3 217kg (103 428oz) from 1 874kg (60 250oz).
The overall average underground recovered grade decreased by 3% to 5.39g/t from 5.58g/t year on year predominantly as a result of the reduction in grades at Moab Khotsong and Mponeng and the lower recoveries at Harmony One plant. Encouragingly, we saw a 5% increase in underground recovered grade quarter on quarter and are confident of meeting our grade guidance.
We continue to invest in our longer-life underground assets such as Moab Khotsong, Mponeng, Joel and Tshepong, whilst recapitalising other operations such as Doornkop and Target 1. Our shorter-life mines, namely Kusasalethu, Masimong and Bambanani will continue to be harvested as long as the production delivers on our strategic objectives.
Bambanani reaches end-of-life
Bambanani has been one of Harmony’s most successful and profitable mines. As the mine reaches the end of its economic life, we have taken the decision to close this mine on the basis that it is no longer possible to operate the mine in accordance
with Harmony's strict safety protocols beyond the end of this financial year.
Production was negatively impacted, decreasing 20% year on year as a result of increased seismicity. As such, the mine will officially be placed on care and maintenance from 1 July 2022. The highly skilled crews will be redeployed within the group.
Bambanani has made a huge contribution to the overall success of Harmony and it is with a heavy heart that we have to finally close this operation. This mine has been another example of ESG in practice where we extended the life of mine by over 12 years, creating value for our communities, local business, government, employees and shareholders.
Due to the earlier than planned closure of Bambanani, an impairment loss of goodwill and assets of R144 million (US$9 million) has been recognised for H1FY22. Refer to note 9 of the financial statements for further detail.
South African underground AISC for H1FY22 was R812 035/kg (US$1 681/oz) compared to R736 634/kg (US$1 410/oz) in the previous six-month reporting period.
South African surface operations
Production from our surface sources increased by 17% to 4 394kg (141 269oz) in H1FY22 from 3 741kg (120 276oz) in H1FY21 due to the contribution of Mine Waste Solutions and the waste rock dumps. Mine Waste Solutions also contributed a full six months’ production for this period compared to only three months in the previous period. This resulted in the 96% increase in production.
Our surface source business plays a vital role in de-risking the portfolio while at the same time delivering increased margins over life-of-mine.
South African surface operations AISC for H1FY22 increased by 2% to R639 027/kg (US$1 323/oz) compared to R624 799/kg (US$1 196/oz) in the previous reporting period.
Papua New Guinea
Hidden Valley
Gold production in H1FY22 at Hidden Valley was down 13% to 1 871kg (60 153oz) against the comparable period of 2 148kg (69 060oz) as a result geotechnical issues which prevented the effective mining of stage 6 of the open pit. This resulted in lower-grade stockpiles being processed with an 18% decline in grade to 0.98g/t from 1.20g/t. A labour stoppage, Covid-19 related restrictions and rostering also had an impact on the workforce in Papua New Guinea, further impacting production. A revised pit design and pit access have been developed to more effectively mine stage 6 in the second half of the financial year.
On 5 January 2022, 6 kilometres of overland conveyor belt was damaged, which will have a significant impact on annual production at Hidden Valley. The belt replacement has now been completed and recommissioning work on the overland conveyor and plant is underway. Waste and ore mining at the mine continues and trucks are being used to transport ore to the plant until the belt repairs are completed. During this period, major scheduled and unscheduled maintenance work has been carried out on the processing plant.
Costs relating to stripping activities for the period amounted to R835 million (US$56 million) and were predominantly driven by the Hidden Valley Stage 7 cutback. Primary stripping activities commenced in July 2020 and the main ore body was reached in November 2021.
With the easing of international travel restrictions and remedial measures implemented, we believe that the short-term setbacks at Hidden Valley have been addressed, with the mine expected to return to profitability in quarter four of financial year 2022. We reaffirm our commitment to the extension of Hidden Valley and are confident the asset will deliver the expected returns over life-of-mine.
Due to lower production in H1FY22, AISC was R1 093 841/kg (US$2 269/oz), a 55% increase from R705 748/kg (US$1 361/oz) in the comparable six-month reporting period.
Wafi-Golpu Project
We are pleased that discussions between the State Negotiating Team and the Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture
have recommenced. Updates will be given as and when further information is available.
Overall cost management
Cash operating costs increased by 17% to R16 178 million (US$1 077 million) from R13 818 million (US$851 million). Most of this cost increase was due to the inclusion of six months of costs associated with Mponeng and related assets compared to the three months' inclusion in the H1FY21 reporting period. The escalation in electricity tariffs, labour costs and the stripping activities at Hidden Valley were the other main contributors towards this increase.
Group AISC was 12% higher for H1FY22 at R802 260/kg (US$1 660/oz) compared to H1FY21 of R715 837/kg (US$1 370/oz). This was mainly as a result of lower than expected gold production at Hidden Valley.
Group capital expenditure for H1FY22 increased by 35% to R3 158 million (US$210 million) from R2 341 million (US$144 million) in H1FY21 due to the key capital projects mentioned at the FY21 results last year. Capital expenditure of our South African operations was however underspent by 30% or R970 million (US$61 million) against our plans due to the delay in permitting for Kareerand.

A foreign exchange translation loss of R298 million (US$20 million), compared to a R652 million gain (US$40 million) in H1FY21, is predominantly caused by unfavourable translations on US dollar loan balances, due to the Rand weakening against the US dollar to R15.99/US$1 (30 June 2021: R14.27/US$1).
Despite this, net debt remained relatively stable with only a marginal increase of R70 million, which is still considered very low.
Taxation
The taxation expense for the group decreased to R234 million (US$15 million) for H1FY22 from a
restated R1 054 million (US$65 million) in H1FY21. Refer to note 7 in the financial statements for details.
Derivatives and hedging
The derivative programme stands at a net positive value of R556 million (US$35 million) as at 31 December 2021, mainly due to hedge agreements locked in at favourable prices during the 30 June 2021 financial year.
The current period records a net loss on derivatives of R35 million (US$2 million) compared to a net gain of R902 million (US$56 million) in H1FY21 as a consequence of the Rand weakening against the US dollar during H1FY22.
Revenue includes a hedging gain of R143 million (US$10 million) in H1FY22 and a loss of R1 771 million (US$109 million) in H1FY21 relating to the realised effective portion of hedge-accounted gold derivatives.
Refer to notes 4 and 10 in the financial statements for details on the derivative programme.
Earnings and headline earnings per share
Basic earnings decreased by 70% to 227 SA cents (16 US cents) per share compared to a restated 763 SA cents (47 US cents) per share.
Headline earnings decreased by 65% to 248 SA cents (17 US cents) per share compared to a restated 713 SA cents (44 US cents) per share for H1FY21.
FY22 GROUP PRODUCTION AND COST GUIDANCE
Gold production for the second half of the financial year for the South African operations is expected to improve relative to the first half production as many of the production challenges have already been resolved.
FY22 production guidance for the South African operations has been revised down from a range of 1 394 000 to 1 469 000oz (as previously guided) to a range of 1 366 000 to 1 439 000oz. FY22 AISC
guidance for the South African operations remains unchanged at R765 000/kg to R800 000/kg.
Due to the aforementioned overland conveyor belt damage and lower than planned H1FY22 production, Hidden Valley’s FY22 production guidance has been revised downwards from a range of 153 000 to 161 000oz (as previously guided) to a range of 115 000 to 117 000oz as announced on 26 January 2022.
As announced on 26 January 2022, the amended guidance from Hidden Valley will result in a 4% adjustment to total production from a range of 1 540 000 to 1 630 000oz as guided at the beginning of FY22 to a range of 1 480 000 to 1 560 000oz.
The overall AISC has consequently been revised from R765 000/kg to R800 000/kg as previously guided to R805 000/kg to R835 000/kg for FY22.
Underground grade guidance remains unchanged at 5.40 to 5.57g/t.
LOOKING AHEAD
While the finite resources we mine can create infinite opportunities for those who benefit from our mining, the same relationship holds true for the capital we allocate. With limitless opportunities to deploy capital across the globe, we carefully determine which projects will deliver optimal shareholder returns on the basis of where we operate, how we manage risk and what skills we can leverage. Our strategy encompasses all five of our values to ensure we create value for all our stakeholders thus giving purpose to each and every person who works at Harmony. At Harmony, we mine with purpose.

NOTICE OF INTERIM GROSS CASH ORDINARY DIVIDEND NO 91
Our dividend declaration for the six months ended 31 December 2021 is as follows:
Declaration of interim gross cash ordinary dividend no. 91
The Board has approved, and notice is hereby given, that an interim gross cash dividend of 40 SA cents (2.7 US cents*) per ordinary share in respect of the six months ended 31 December 2021, has been declared payable to the registered shareholders of Harmony on Monday, 11 April 2022.
In accordance with paragraphs 11.17(a)(i) to (x) and 11.17(c) of the JSE Listings Requirements the following additional information is disclosed:
•The dividend has been declared out of income reserves;
•The local Dividend Withholding Tax rate is 20% (twenty percent);
•The gross local dividend amount is 40.00000 SA cents (US2.65604 cents*) per ordinary share for shareholders exempt from the Dividend Withholding Tax;
•The net local dividend amount is 32.00000 SA cents per ordinary share for shareholders liable to pay the Dividend Withholding Tax;
•Harmony currently has 616 525 702 ordinary shares in issue (which includes 47 381 treasury shares); and
•Harmony’s income tax reference number is 9240/012/60/0.
A dividend No. 91 of 40.00000 SA cents (US2.65604 cents*) per ordinary share, being the dividend for the six months ended 31 December 2021, has been declared payable on Monday, 11 April 2022 to those shareholders recorded in the books of the company at the close of business on Friday, 8 April 2022. The dividend is declared in the currency of the Republic of South Africa. Any change in address or dividend instruction to apply to this dividend must be received by the company’s transfer secretaries or registrar not later than Friday, 1 April 2022.
Dividends received by non-resident shareholders will be exempt from income tax in terms of section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act. The dividends withholding tax rate is 20%, accordingly, any dividend will be subject to dividend withholding tax levied at a rate of 20%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation (“DTA”) between South Africa and the country of residence of the shareholder.
Should dividend withholding tax be withheld at a rate of 20%, the net dividend amount due to non-resident shareholders is 32.00000 SA cents per share. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-resident shareholder has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in respect of uncertificated shares or the company, in respect of certificated shares:
a.a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA; and
b.a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to the payment of the distribution if such documents have not already been submitted.
In compliance with the requirements of Strate Proprietary Limited (Strate) and the JSE Listings Requirements, the salient dates for payment of the dividend are as follows:
| Last date to trade ordinary shares cum-dividend is | Tuesday, 5 April 2022 |
|---|---|
| Ordinary shares trade ex-dividend | Wednesday, 6 April 2022 |
| Record date | Friday, 8 April 2022 |
| Payment date | Monday, 11 April 2022 |
No dematerialisation or rematerialisation of share certificates may occur between Wednesday, 6 April 2022 and Friday, 8 April 2022, both dates inclusive, nor may any transfers between registers take place during this period.
On payment date, dividends due to holders of certificated securities on the SA share register will either be electronically transferred to such shareholders' bank accounts or, in the absence of suitable mandates, dividends will be held in escrow by Harmony until suitable mandates are received to electronically transfer dividends to such shareholders.
Dividends in respect of dematerialised shareholdings will be credited to such shareholders' accounts with the relevant Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker.
The holders of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) should confirm dividend details with the depository bank. Assuming an exchange rate of R15.06/US$1* the dividend payable on an ADR is equivalent to US2.65604 cents for ADR holders before dividend tax. However, the actual rate of payment will depend on the exchange rate on the date for currency conversion.
*Based on an exchange rate of R15.06/US$1 at 23 February 2022. However, the actual rate of payment will depend on the exchange rate on the date for currency conversion.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (RAND)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim reporting period ended 31 December 2021 has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the recognition and measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting practices Committee, Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, JSE Listings Requirements and in the manner required by the Companies Act no. 71 of 2008 of South Africa. The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements made by Harmony during the interim reporting period. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. There were no new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that became effective that had a material impact on the group's results or financial position.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Comparative information
As a result of the acquisition of AngloGold Ashanti Limited's (AGA) remaining South African assets, collectively Mponeng operations and related assets (refer to note 15), a change in the materiality thresholds applied by management resulted in certain of the financial statement line items either being aggregated or disaggregated in the related primary financial statement as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021. As a result and in accordance with the requirements of IFRS, the December 2020 comparative information was also re-presented accordingly, as noted in the table below.
| Line item | Presentation in HY22 condensed financial statements (Dec 2021) | Presentation in HY21 condensed financial statements (Dec 2020) | Presentation in FY21 annual financial statements (Jun 2021) |

| Retirement benefit obligation | Aggregated and disclosed in the other provisions line item | Disclosed as a separate line item. The balance for HY21 was R226 million | Aggregated and disclosed in the other provisions line item |
| Provision for silicosis settlement | Aggregated and disclosed in the other provisions line item | Current and non-current portion disclosed as a separate line item. The HY21 balance for the non-current portion was R663 million and the balance for the current portion was R175 million | Aggregated and disclosed in the other provisions line item |
During the six-month period ended 31 December 2021, Mine Waste Solutions (MWS) was identified as a separate reportable segment as a result of it exceeding the quantitative threshold of 10% of total reported profit as set out in IFRS 8 Operating Segments. This resulted in MWS's segment information being disaggregated from the All other surface operations segment. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS, the December 2020 and June 2021 comparative information has been re-presented in the segment report.

2. RESTATEMENT OF DECEMBER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Subsequent to the release of the financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2020, management identified an error relating to deferred taxation. The reported deferred tax expense for the six months ended 31 December 2020 was erroneously understated by R275 million, which resulted in an overstatement of the net profit for the period while the deferred tax liability as at 31 December 2020 was understated by R275 million. This error was corrected prior to the finalisation of the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2021 and therefore does not impact on the 2021 annual financial statements.
Further, the fair value exercise of the acquisition which had previously been prepared on a provisional basis at 31 December 2020 was finalised as at 30 June 2021. For further detail refer to note 15.
The error and the measurement period adjustments do not have an impact on the cash flow statement or other disclosure within the financial statements other than indicated below.
The error related to the deferred tax along with the remeasurement adjustments impacted the financial statement line items as follows:

3. COVID-19 IMPACT
Harmony continues to implement best practice in terms of prevention and detection of Covid-19 within its workforces in South Africa and PNG. The impact of Covid-19 has been accounted for as part of the life-of-mine plans for FY22 and is currently treated as part of the normal day-to-day operations. During the past six months Harmony's group-wide vaccination programme proved to be extremely successful, founded on the stance that vaccination remains the best defence against the Covid-19 virus and its many variants. Harmony now looks towards the roll-out of booster shot doses to its fully vaccinated employees in order to ensure the safety of its workforce against the virus.
Since June 2021, Covid-related hospital admissions and deaths in South Africa has decreased significantly. Data from the National institute of Communicable Diseases shows significant decreases in hospital admissions and deaths when comparing the fourth wave of the pandemic, driven mainly by the Omicron variant, to the second and third wave of the pandemic. This was despite an increase in cases during the fourth wave, which indicates the delinking of number of cases to the number of deaths and those people who became severely ill and required hospitalisation. As at 31 December 2021, PNG is in the early stages of their fourth wave of the pandemic and currently the majority of the cases are asymptomatic or only exhibit very mild symptoms.
While fluctuations in the US$ gold price and Rand/US$ exchange rate in FY20 and FY21 were primarily driven by factors related to the Covid-19 pandemic, during the past six months these fluctuations have predominantly been dictated by other global factors.
Management will continue to assess information on the pandemic as it becomes available and formulate appropriate actions based thereon.

1 The quantity of gold sold increased by 6% to 24 674kg from 23 309kg. The comparative information includes the results of the Mponeng operations and related assets for three months while the current period includes the full six months. The increase due to this was offset by a decrease in production at Bambanani, Moab Khotsong, Hidden Valley with the closure of Unisel being completed in the previous financial year. The net gold sold increase was offset by the average gold price received decreasing by 4% to R860 795/kg from R896 587/kg in the December 2020 six months.
2 Silver is derived from the Hidden Valley mine in Papua New Guinea. Uranium is derived from the Moab Khotsong operation.
3 Relates to the recognition of non-cash consideration recognised as part of revenue for the streaming arrangement. Refer to note 14 for further information.
4 Relates to the realised effective portion of the hedge-accounted gold derivatives. Refer to note 10 for further information.
5 A geographical analysis of revenue is provided in the segment report.
The points of transfer of control are as follows:
| •Gold: South Africa (excluding streaming contract) | Gold is delivered and certificate of sale is issued. |
|---|---|
| •Gold and silver: Hidden Valley | Metal is collected from Hidden Valley and a confirmation of collection is sent to and accepted by the customer. |
| •Uranium | Confirmation of transfer is issued. |
| •Streaming contract | Gold is delivered and credited into the Franco-Nevada designated gold account. |

1 Production costs increased during the December 2021 period mainly due to the Mponeng operations and related assets being included for the full six-month period, compared to three months in December 2020. Also contributing to the increase are annual and inflationary increases related to labour costs, consumables and services as well as the gold stock revaluation expense due to a decrease in the gold in process and on hand.
2 The royalty expense decreased during the December 2021 period due to lower profits for the period which resulted in a decrease in the rates used in determining the royalty.
3 The increase in care and maintenance costs of restructured shafts is mainly attributable to the Vaal River surface operations that were placed on care and maintenance during September 2021.
4 During the current period impairments of R144 million were recognised for the property, plant and goodwill of Bambanani. The impairment of goodwill and assets on Bambanani was as a result of a change in the life-of-mine plan, moving the closure of the mine to June 2022 rather than June 2024 as planned during FY21. This was as a result of increased seismicity seen at the operation and the related risk increasing as pillars are mined out. The post-tax recoverable amount of R36 million was derived from the expected cash flows as per the life-of-mine plans. Refer to note 9 for further details.

7. TAXATION
Current taxation
The current year taxation expense is lower for the six months ended 31 December 2021 mainly due to the foreign exchange derivative contracts and foreign exchange translation losses compared to the gains realised in the six months ended 31 December 2020.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax expense
The deferred tax expense for the December 2021 period was offset by credits relating to the creation of assessed losses and unredeemed capital expenditure in Harmony Company and Freegold. The deferred tax expense for December 2020 is attributable to increased net taxable temporary differences due primarily to the utilisation of the assessed losses and unredeemed capital expenditure in certain companies as a result of taxable profits.

7. TAXATION continued
Deferred taxation continued
Deferred tax asset
As at 30 June 2021 a deferred tax asset was recognised in Harmony Company and Chemwes. Subsequently, the net deferred tax asset balance has increased in Harmony Company due to the recognition of an assessed loss. Chemwes's net deferred tax asset has decreased due to the reduced liability of the streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada Barbados – refer to note 14 for more information. Harmony Company's deferred tax asset balance increased to R251 million (30 June 2021: R175 million, 31 December 2020: R223 million) and Chemwes Company's decreased to R55 million (30 June 2021: R97 million, 31 December 2020: R212 million).
A deferred tax asset continues to be recognised for both companies as it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which the remaining deductible temporary differences existing at the reporting date can be utilised.

9. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Impairment of property, plant and equipment (including goodwill)
As at 31 December 2021, management performed an assessment for potential indicators of impairment of assets as well as potential indications for reversal of previously recorded impairment losses in terms of IAS 36, Impairment of Assets. Specific circumstances surrounding each of the individual cash generating units (CGU) were considered in this assessment in order to identify circumstances that had changed significantly in the six months since the last impairment assessment was performed. An indicator of impairment was identified for Bambanani which was tested for impairment. The operation's life-of-mine plan was revised, bringing the closure of the mine forward from June 2024 to June 2022. This was as a result of the increased seismicity and associated safety risks experienced at the operation.
The recoverable amount for Bambanani's assets was determined on a fair value less cost to sell basis using assumptions in the discounted cash flow models. These are fair value measurements classified as level 3.
Critical estimates and judgements
The recoverable amount of mining assets is determined utilising real discounted future cash flows. All key assumptions used remained the same as those applied at 30 June 2021, with the exception of the discount rate for Bambanani, which was adjusted for additional risk factors that are not included in the cash flows, as well as the gold price used in the discounted cash flows. The gold price applied to the remaining six months of Bambanani’s life-of-mine is as follows:
| Six months ended | |
|---|---|
| 31 December<br><br>2021<br><br>(Reviewed) | |
| US$ gold price per ounce | 1 782 |
| Exchange rate (R/US$) | 15.36 |
| Rand gold price (R/kg) | 880 000 |
The post-tax real discount rates for the Bambanani operation increased from 12.02% in June 2021 to 12.59% at 31 December 2021.
Results of impairment and reversal assessment
Based on the impairment test performed, an impairment of R144 million was recorded for the six months ended 31 December 2021 for Bambanani. The impairment of the remaining goodwill of R31 million as well as a portion of its assets was as a result of a shortened life-of-mine plan. The post-tax recoverable amount as at 31 December 2021 is R36 million.
Where CGUs had previously been impaired, management considered whether the impairment loss (or the contributors to the previously recognised impairment loss) no longer exists or might have decreased. Management considered general and specific factors for each CGU and concluded that although overall the gold price had improved from the time that the impairment losses had been recognised, the specific circumstances that led to the original impairments had not reversed. Furthermore, the service potential of the asset has not increased. Due to the continued volatility seen in the gold prices as well as exchange rates, coupled with the fact that the factors resulting in the previously recognised impairment losses had not reversed, management resolved it to be appropriate for no reversal of previously recognised impairment losses to be recorded for the period under review.
One of the most significant assumptions that influence the life-of-mine plans and therefore impairment assessments is the expected commodity prices. Management determined a reasonably possible long-term change of 10% in gold prices based on the standard deviation of both Harmony's long-term gold price assumption over the past five financial years and market analysts' forecasted long-term gold price assumptions. A 10% increase/decrease (pre-impairment and scrapping recognised) in the gold price used (with all other variables held constant and not taking any actions, such as stopping capital projects, into account) would have resulted in the following post-tax impairment being recorded as at 31 December 2021:
| Figures in millions | 31 December 2021<br><br>10% decrease<br><br>(Reviewed) | 31 December 2021<br><br>10% increase<br><br>(Reviewed) |

Costs related to stripping activities for the period ended 31 December 2021 amounted to R895 million with Hidden Valley accounting for R835 million of these costs. The increase was predominantly driven by the Hidden Valley Stage 7 cutback. Primary stripping activities commenced in July 2020 and the main ore body was reached in November 2021. Until that time, stripping costs were capitalised in full due to significant levels of waste being removed with incidental ore being mined.
In addition to the above, the foreign exchange translation movement on property, plant and equipment for the region was an increase of R819 million for the six-month period.

11. INVENTORIES
The total balance decreased by R312 million during the period, which includes a decrease in gold in process and ore stockpiles of R636 million. This decrease is due to a reduction in the physical gold of 303kg, while the ROM stockpile at Hidden Valley was depleted as a result of the operational issues experienced during the last quarter of the period. An increase in consumables of R323 million to cater for the December supplier closure period offset these decreases.
12. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
The balance at 31 December 2021 includes an increase of R171 million in the prepayments balance primarily due to the annual insurance payment in October 2021.

15. ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
ACQUISITION OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI'S REMAINING SOUTH AFRICAN OPERATIONS
On 12 February 2020, Harmony announced that it had reached an agreement with AGA to purchase the Mponeng operations and related assets. The last condition precedent for the acquisition was fulfilled during September 2020, resulting in an acquisition date of 1 October 2020. Based on management's assessment the transaction met the definition of a business combination as defined by IFRS 3. The following cash generating units (CGUs) were identified in the acquisition:
•the Mponeng business, consisting of the Mponeng, Tau Tona and Savuka mines, forming a single complex, and their associated assets and liabilities, including CWC;
•the West Wits closure business, consisting of the Savuka plant and associated rock-dump and tailings storage facility reclamation sites, mine rehabilitation and closure activities located in the West Wits region and the associated assets and liabilities;
•Mine Waste Solutions;
•the Vaal River closure business, consisting of certain rock-dump reclamation, mine rehabilitation and closure activities located in the Vaal River region and their associated assets and liabilities.
Consideration for the transaction amounted to a cash payment of R3.4 billion (US$200 million), paid on 30 September 2020, and contingent consideration subject to the following criteria:
•US$260 per ounce payable on all underground production from the Mponeng, Savuka and Tau Tona mines in excess of 250 000 ounces per year for six years commencing 1 January 2021; and
•US$20 per ounce payable on underground production from the Mponeng, Savuka and Tau Tona mines sourced from levels developed in the future below the current infrastructure.
As at 31 December 2021, the contingent consideration was valued at R428 million. No material changes to the assumptions underpinning the valuation were made since 30 June 2021. The remeasurement of the liability is included in Other operating expenses.
Fair value determination of acquired operations
For the period ended 31 December 2020, the fair value exercise was prepared on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3. During the measurement period, being the 12 months permitted in terms of IFRS 3 for the completion of the fair value exercise, Harmony received new information relating to the expected production profiles of Mponeng and MWS, operating costs of the acquired operations, closure costs for environmental rehabilitation, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables that existed at acquisition date. There were changes to the life-of-mine plans which impacted the discounted cash flows used in the valuations of the CGUs. The change in the production profile of Mponeng impacted the valuation of the contingent consideration liability as at 1 October 2020. Other than changes to the expected production profiles, operating and rehabilitation closure costs, no other key valuation assumptions were revised. The comparative figures for 31 December 2020 have been restated accordingly as a result of the above mentioned changes. Management considered the revised purchase price allocation to be final and the accounting for the acquisition to be concluded as at 30 June 2021. Refer to note 2 for disclosure of the impact of the restatement on the December 2020 financial statement line items.
16. ADDITIONAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES
The decrease in cash generated by operations was mainly due to an increase in the production costs and the trade and other receivables outflow. Refer to note 5 and 12 for further detail.

17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
Foreign exchange risk
Harmony's revenues are sensitive to the R/US$ exchange rate as all revenues are generated by gold sales denominated in US$. A weakening of the Rand will increase the reported revenue total; conversely a strengthening will decrease it.
Harmony maintains a foreign currency derivative programme to manage foreign exchange risk. The limit currently set by the Board is 25% of the group's foreign exchange risk exposure for a period of 24 months. The audit and risk committee reviews the details of the programme quarterly. Refer to note 10 and the fair value determination section below for further detail on these contracts.
The Rand weakened during the six months ended 31 December 2021, from R14.27/U$1 on 30 June 2021 to close at R15.99/US$1 on 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: R14.69/US$1). This negatively impacted on the derivative valuations. The Rand's levels also impacted negatively on the translation of the US$ debt facilities at 31 December 2021. Refer to note 13 for detail.
Commodity price sensitivity
The profitability of the group’s operations, and the cash flows generated by those operations, are mainly affected by changes in the market price of gold, and in the case of Hidden Valley, silver as well. Harmony enters into derivative contracts to manage the variability in cash flows from the group’s production, in order to create cash certainty and protect the group against lower commodity prices. The general limit for gold hedging currently set by the Board is 20% for a 24-month period. The limit set by the Board is 50% of silver exposure over a 24-month period. The audit and risk committee reviews the details of the programme quarterly. Refer to note 10 and the fair value determination section below for further detail on these contracts.
An increase in the price of gold in US$ terms, together with the weakening of the Rand during December 2021 period, had a negative impact on the contracts that were outstanding at 31 December 2021. A decrease in the price of gold in US$ terms, together with the strengthening of the Rand during December 2020 period, had a positive impact on the contracts that matured during that period as well as those that were outstanding at 31 December 2020.
Interest rate risk
Low interest rates are still being maintained by both the US Federal Reserve and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), with the SARB increasing the repo rate by 25 basis points effective 28 January 2022. For the six months ended 31 December 2021 the low interest rates along with the decreased debt levels have had a favourable impact on the group's cost of debt. While it can be expected that the increase in the repo rate will result in a higher cost of debt, as financial institutions will increase their lending rates, the group has not entered into interest rate swap agreements as the interest rate risk has been assessed to be low. The audit and risk committee reviews the group's risk exposure quarterly.
Credit risk
Financial instruments which are subject to credit risk are restricted cash, restricted investments, derivative financial instruments and cash and cash equivalents, all of which are invested with financial institutions that meet the group's policy requirements for credit quality, as well as trade and other receivables (excluding non-financial instruments). In assessing the creditworthiness of local institutions, management uses the national scale long-term ratings.
During the June 2021 financial year, Fitch upgraded the major South African (SA) banks to AA+ from AA- following the widespread recovery from the adverse Covid-19 impact. Fitch increased the credit rating of the major banks to AA+ on 22 December 2020, citing the financial institutions risk appetite and corporate conduct as key factors of the upgrade. At 31 December 2021, the rating of the SA banks has remained unchanged from June 2021.
Taking the above events into consideration, the national scale investment grade rating of these banks remains high at AA+, and in line with the group's credit risk policy. An assessment of the expected credit losses (ECLs) for the financial assets measured at amortised cost for all reporting periods resulted in an immaterial amount for each instrument. The credit rating of the group's Australian counterparts dropped from AA- to A+, yielding an immaterial ECL as well.
Management will continue to review the underlying strength of the South African economy as well as the creditworthiness of the financial institutions and make any changes deemed necessary to safeguard the assets and reduce the credit risk.
Capital risk management
The weakening of the Rand has resulted in foreign exchange translation losses on foreign borrowings, being the major contributor to the group's increased net debt compared to 30 June 2021. It remains the group's objective to adhere to a conservative approach to debt and maintain low levels of gearing.
Net debt is as follows:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from other prices); | ||||||

* Refer to note 2 for further information on the restatement of financial statement line items. The restated amounts are reviewed but not audited.
(a) The majority of the balance relates to the equity investment in Rand Mutual Assurance. The fair value of the investment was estimated with reference to an independent valuation. A combination of the "Embedded Valuation" and "Net Asset Value" techniques were applied to revalue the investment as at 30 June 2021. In evaluating the group's share of the business, common practice marketability and minority discounts as well as additional specific risk discounts were applied.
(b) The majority of the level 2 valued assets are directly derived from the Top 40 index on the JSE, and are discounted at market interest rates. This relates to equity-linked deposits in the group's environmental rehabilitation trust funds. The level 1 valued assets were acquired as part of the Mponeng operations and related assets and comprise of listed equity securities designated as fair value through other comprehensive income instruments. The remaining balance of the environmental trust funds is carried at amortised cost and therefore not disclosed here.
(c) The mark-to-market remeasurement of the derivative contracts was determined as follows:
•Foreign exchange contracts comprise of zero cost collars and FECs: The zero cost collars were valued using a Black-Scholes valuation technique derived from spot Rand/US$ exchange rate inputs, implied volatilities on the Rand/US$ exchange rate, Rand/US$ inter-bank interest rates and discounted at a market interest rate (zero-coupon interest rate curve). The value of the FECs is derived from the forward Rand/US$ exchange rate and discounted at a market interest rate (zero coupon interest rate curve).
•Rand gold contracts (forward sale contracts): spot Rand/US$ exchange rate, Rand and dollar interest rates (forward points), spot US$ gold price, differential between the US interest rate and gold lease interest rate which is discounted at a market interest rate.
•US$ gold contracts (forward sale contracts): spot US$ gold price, differential between the US interest rate and gold lease interest rate and discounted at a market interest rate.
•Silver contracts (zero cost collars): a Black-Scholes valuation technique, derived from spot US$ silver price, strike price, implied volatilities, time to maturity and interest rates and discounted at a market interest rate investments.
(d) At 31 December 2021, the fair value movement was calculated using a discounted cash flow model, taking into account forecasted dividend payments over the estimated repayment period of the loan at a rate of 8.1% (30 June 2021: 7.9%). A discounted cash flow model, taking into account projected interest payments and the projected African Rainbow Minerals Limited (ARM) share price on the expected repayment date and using a discount rate of 9.8%, was applied to determine the fair value at 31 December 2020. A 74 basis point change in the discount rate, which would represent a reasonably possible change based on expected movements in lending rates, would not cause a material change in the fair value of the loan. The loan balance forms part of other non-current assets in the balance sheet.
(e) The consideration for the Mponeng operations and related assets (refer to note 15) includes a contingent consideration determined using the expected gold production profile for Mponeng at a post-tax real rate of 10.3%. Should the expected gold production profile increase by 7% or decrease by 7%, the contingent consideration liability would increase by R288 million (31 December 2020: R220 million) (30 June 2021: R208 million) or decrease by R208 million (31 December 2020: R193 million) (30 June 2021: R183 million), respectively. This represents reasonably expected changes which were determined based on the standard deviation of previous years' production of the Mponeng operation. No other reasonable expected changes in key unobservable inputs would have caused a material change in the fair value of the liability.
The carrying values (less any impairment allowance) of short-term financial instruments are assumed to approximate their fair values. This includes restricted investments carried at amortised cost. The fair values of borrowings are not materially different to their carrying amounts since the interest payable on those borrowings is at floating interest rates. The fair value of borrowings is based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. The determination of the fair values are level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.

22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 5 January 2022, the overland conveyor at Hidden Valley was damaged. This will negatively impact the production for the March 2022 quarter and Harmony has issued revised guidance for both the operation and group for FY22.
On 15 January 2022, the lock-in period expired for the Harmony ESOP Trust (Sisonke Scheme), which was established to provide employees with an ownership interest in Harmony and to empower and create potential wealth for employees. The beneficiaries of the share scheme became unconditionally entitled to the shares at this date. A decision to sell the shares for cash was required by 14 February 2022. Payments and share distributions will be made in due course. As of the date of the sale of the shares, they will no longer be classified as treasury shares. This will impact the weighted average calculation for basic earnings and headline earnings per share as well as diluted basic and diluted headline earnings per share going forward.
On 21 February 2022, Ms Melanie Naidoo-Vermaak and Mr Anton Buthelezi were appointed as Senior Executive: Sustainable Development and Senior Executive: Human Capital respectively and will be classified as prescribed officers going forward.
On 25 February 2022, an interim dividend of 40 SA cents was declared, payable on 11 April 2022.
