1The Group reports adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) based on the formula included in the facility agreements for compliance with the debt
covenant formula. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under IFRS and should be
considered in addition to and not as a substitute for any other measure of financial performance and liquidity. For a reconciliation of profit before royalties and tax to adjusted EBITDA, see note
11.1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements
2The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated to SA rand (rand). In addition to the US PGM operations’
underground production, the operation treats various recycling material which is excluded from the 2E PGM production, average basket price and All-in sustaining cost statistics shown.
PGM recycling represents palladium, platinum and rhodium ounces fed to the furnace
3The Platinum Group Metals (PGM) production in the SA operations is principally platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold, referred to as 4E (3PGM+Au), and in the US underground operations
is principally platinum and palladium, referred to as 2E (2PGM) and US PGM recycling is principally platinum, palladium and rhodium referred to as 3E (3PGM)
4See “Salient features and cost benchmarks - Six months ” for the definition of All-in sustaining cost (AISC). The SA PGM All-in sustaining cost excludes the production and costs associated with the
purchase of concentrate (PoC) from third parties
5The acquisition of the Reldan Group of Companies (Reldan) was concluded on 15 March 2024. The six months ended 30 June 2024 include the results since acquisition. All salient features for the
US Reldan operations are shown separately from the US PGM underground operations and the US PGM recycling
6The SA PGM production excludes the production associated with the purchase of concentrate (PoC) from third parties. For a reconciliation of the production and third party PoC,
refer to the "Reconciliation of operating cost excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM operations and Marikana - Six months"
7As previously announced, Sibanye Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited had entered into a pool and share agreement to acquire Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited 50% ownership of Kroondal.
The acquisition became effective on 1 November 2023 after all conditions precedent had either been met or waived, therefore from 1 November 2023 the SA PGM operations includes 100%
Kroondal
8The nickel production at the Sandouville refinery operations is principally nickel metal and nickel salts (liquid form), together referred to as nickel equivalent products
9The nickel equivalent average basket price per tonne is the total nickel revenue adjusted for other income less non-product sales divided by the total nickel equivalent tonnes sold
10See "Salient features and cost benchmarks - Six months" Sandouville nickel refinery for a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to nickel equivalent sustaining cost
11The Century zinc tailings retreatment operation is a leading tailings management and rehabilitation operation in Queensland, Australia. The Century operation was acquired by the Group on 22
February 2023 and amounts included since effective date of acquisition
12Zinc metal produced (payable) is the payable quantity of zinc metal produced after applying smelter content deductions
13Average equivalent zinc concentrate price is the total zinc sales revenue recognised at the price expected to be received excluding the fair value adjustments divided by the payable zinc
metal sold
14Adjusted EBITDA, All-in sustaining cost (AISC) and nickel equivalent sustaining cost are not measures of performance under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. See "Non-IFRS measures" on pages 75 and 76 for more information on the Non-IFRS metrics presented by Sibanye-Stillwater
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 3
STATEMENT BY NEAL FRONEMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF SIBANYE-STILLWATER
Considerable progress was made during the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 (H1 2024) to secure the sustainability of our operations
through the current low-price environment, and to optimise operational cashflow to protect the integrity of our balance sheet while
retaining optimal leverage to a recovery in the commodity price cycle.
The Group maintained a sound financial position, with undemanding Balance sheet leverage of 1.43x net debt: adjusted EBITDA at 30
June 2024 and well within our comfort levels. We have proactively reinforced the Group Balance sheet through a series of financial
transactions since June 2024, which have resulted in additional debt headroom (before approaching our leverage covenants) of
approximately R25 billion, and significantly enhanced Balance sheet liquidity and flexibility.
The actions we have taken have been decisive and are evidenced by reduced costs and improved profitability at most of our operations
during H1 2024 compared with H1 2023, with the full cost benefits from recent restructuring in the SA region expected to materialise in
coming periods. Further restructuring of the US operations for the lower PGM price environment will be undertaken, with the GalliCam
project assessing the potential for repurposing of the Sandouville refinery potentially being repurposed for sustainability.
The measures taken have ensured that the Group is well positioned, not only to endure through this period of low commodity prices, but
with improved optionality and leverage to a turn in the commodity price cycle, which will support ongoing value creation and strategic
delivery.
Please note: there is price sensitive information in the H1 2024 results presentation which is not provided in this results document. The
presentation will be available at H1 2024 results download link from 14h00 (CAT) / 13h00 (GMT) / 08h00 (EST) / 06h00 (MT). The webcast of
the presentation can also be accessed at Webcast link.
SAFE PRODUCTION
The continued improvement in Group safety performance for H1 2024 was pleasing, confirming that our safety strategy continues to gain
traction with further real risk reduction in our operating environment. During H1 2024, the Group achieved its lowest recorded Serious Injury
Frequency Rate (SIFR) and there has been a consistent decline in high potential incidents (HPIs) since H2 2022. Despite a 43% reduction in
the fatal Injury frequency rate (FIFR) to 0.04 (per million hours worked), the loss of three colleagues (six for H1 2023) is tragic and our
commitment, through our Fatality elimination strategy, to prevent further fatal incidents remains our utmost priority. On behalf of
management and the Board of Sibanye-Stillwater, we wish to express our deep regret and extend our sincere condolences to the families
and friends of our late colleagues; Mr Nelson Kunene, Mr Ekabang Hlasa and Mr Reginald Sekati, who are all deeply mourned.
The safety performance of the Group is covered in more detail on page 7 of this report.
STRATEGIC DELIVERY- FOCUSED ON OUR STRATEGIC ESSENTIALS
Our fundamental position regarding the longer-term outlook for the metals we produce and battery metals we will produce remains
unchanged, with a considered and measured strategic response to the cyclical downturn in commodity prices. Our strategic focus is to
ensure consistency through price cycles and our decisions are not taken based on short-term factors.
We are confident that our strategic interventions to secure operational sustainability and protect our Balance sheet will ensure that the
Group will not only prevail through the current low-price cycle, but emerge exceptionally well positioned to benefit from a recovery in
metal prices. Our strategy remains relevant and appropriate, and we are confident that we are well positioned for longer-term value
creation.
As such, we have continued to invest in the development of the Keliber lithium project (perhaps somewhat counter cyclically during a
period of oversupply, as expressed by some observers) to ensure that we are strategically positioned to supply locally produced Lithium
Hydroxide (LiOH) necessary for the future development of the battery electric vehicle (BEV) sector in Europe. Despite the current
oversupply of lithium, even under more moderate BEV growth assumptions than current market consensus, our analysis suggests that
demand for lithium will continue to rise significantly. With permitting and financing of new mining projects becoming more challenging
and costly, we believe that future demand will outstrip the increase in new supply of lithium required to support the projected growth
resulting in increasing deficits over the latter half of this decade. Moreover, with current low prices being a disincentive to the
development of new projects, we remain confident that we will be suitably positioned to deliver production from the Keliber lithium
project into the growing deficit market.
Importantly, leading regional financial institutions, the European Investment Bank and Finnish credit agency Finnvera, along with a
consortium of leading global banks with specific development financing mandates, participated in the recent €500 million (R9.9 billion)
green financing loan raised for the Keliber lithium project. This is a significant vote of confidence in the project and underpins the project's
commercial viability, ESG credentials as well as underscoring its strategic importance to the European clean energy transition. The green
loan also provides cost-effective, long-term funding required for the full development of the project, as well as enhancing Group liquidity
and effectively ring-fencing the existing Group facilities for operational requirements as intended.
Bolstering Balance sheet strength and increasing liquidity
While the Group Balance sheet at the end of H1 2024 remained healthy with net debt to adjusted EBITDA of 1.43x undemanding, in the
current uncertain macro-economic environment we retain the prudent approach outlined in the 2023 results presentation in February
2024 to proactively mitigate increases in net debt until positive cashflow from operations is restored.
In June 2024, following proactive engagement with our lenders, the leverage covenant limit for all Group facilities was uplifted to 3.5x for
the period from 30 June 2024 to 30 June 2025 inclusive, and to 3.0x for the period from 31 July 2025 to 31 December 2025 inclusive,
providing significant financial headroom and reducing financial risk. Assuming adjusted EBITDA of R13 billion (H1 2024 annualised), the
covenant uplift to 3.5x provides implied additional net debt headroom of R13 billion until July 2025 and R6.5 billion to the end of
December 2025.
During Q3 2024 further actions have been taken to bolster and de-risk the Group Balance sheet, including:
•Refinancing and upsizing the rand revolving credit facility (RCF), which was due to mature on 11 November 2024, from R5.5 billion to
R6.0 billion. The refinanced rand RCF matures in August 2027, thereby extending the period before possible repayment of the first debt
obligation by two years. The refinanced facility includes options to further increase the rand RCF by R1 billion during the term through
the inclusion of additional lenders, and to extend the facility tenor at the request of Sibanye-Stillwater by means of two further one-year
extensions. This is a strong signal of confidence and support from our South African lenders
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 4
•A first alternative non-debt financing transaction was also concluded in August 2024. A gold prepayment arrangement for delivery of
1,497 kilograms (48,129oz) of gold in equal monthly tranches from October 2024 to November 2026 secured the Group a minimum of
R1.8bn (US$100 million) in non-debt financing. The gold delivered will be subject to a floor price of R1,350,000 per kilogram and a cap
price of R1,736,000 per kilogram, providing up to 28% upside exposure to higher gold prices
•The Group is also in advanced stages of securing approximately US$600 million to US$700 million additional non-debt financing through
potential prepays and streams (chrome, gold, PGM) from operations in the SA region
In total, these financial management transactions have added approximately R25 billion (US$1.4 billion) of additional debt headroom for
the Group balance sheet, and enhanced Group financial liquidity, flexibility and optionality. Further non-debt financing (streams and
prepays), if secured, would result in total proforma financing of approximately R36.2 billion (US$2.0 billion) to R38.1 billion (US$2.1 billion).
These proactive measures are likely to be regarded positively by the credit rating agencies, helping to reduce concerns relating to credit
rating adjustments (the Group credit rating was recently maintained at BB- by S&P).
For some time now, the Group debt position and future financial leverage have been cited as primary risks by sell side analysts, some of
whom raised concerns in the market about a possible dilutive equity capital raise or rights issue as early as H2 2024. We are confident that
this perception is now moot.
Optimising operations for profitability and sustainability
The operational initiatives implemented since 2022 have been decisive, and the benefits are beginning to come through in improved
financial and operating results for most of the Group operations, preserving cash flow through the current low-price environment.
Further to the expected cost and capital savings (aiming at resetting the cost base) and capital reductions and/or deferrals, which were
detailed in the H2 2023 operating and financial results in February 2024, additional annual cost and efficiency benefits of R461 million
(US$26.5 million) are expected from the recently concluded restructuring of the Kloof 2 Plant and realignment of the SA region services
functions to the reduced operational footprint in the SA region. In comparison to the 2022 cost base, the anticipated benefits outlined in
February 2024 have been confirmed with an increased value of R6.6 billion (US$375 million) as detailed below. The gross expected benefit
from the actions taken to date is therefore expected to be R7 billion (US403 million).
The repositioning actions and the anticipated benefits are summarised below:
•February 2023: Closure of Beatrix 4 Shaft and Kloof 1 processing plant (annual benefit of R830 million/US$48 million)
•November 2023: Closure of Kloof 4 shaft (annual benefit of R1.4 billion/US$80 million)
•November 2023: Further repositioning of US PGM operations for ongoing decline in 2E basket price (annual benefit of R1.3 billion/US$77
million and capital benefit for 2024 of R1.4 billion/US$79 million)
•February 2024: Restructuring of SA PGM operations - closure of Simunye shaft and 4 Belt shaft from April 2024, rightsizing of Siphumelele
and Rowland shafts (annual benefit of R810 million/US$46 million)
•April 2024: Re-alignment of the SA regional structure and closure of the Kloof 2 processing plant coupled with the deferral of the
Burnstone project (annual benefit of R461 million/US$27 million and capital benefit for 2024 of R1.2 billion/US$69 million)
While the initial benefits from the operational restructuring and optimisation initiated during 2023 are evident in improved operating cost
and financial results from the US PGM operations and the Sandouville refinery for H1 2024 compared with H2 2023, due to the more
protracted closure process at the deeper SA mines, the full cost and efficiency benefits from restructuring of the SA operations and
regional services are expected to materialize in a phased manner over the next 6 months and only reflect fully from 2025.
SA region
SA PGM operations
The SA PGM operations delivered another solid performance, increasing production and generating positive free cashflow for H1 2024.
Lower production from the restructuring of loss-making shafts (two of which were closed and two restructured), as well as reduced
production from Siphumelele shaft as a result of the shaft bin failure and at Kroondal due to the illegal industrial action, was more than
offset by the consolidation of an additional 50% of Kroondal production following the acquisition of Anglo American Platinum Corporation
Ltd''s (Anglo American Platinum) 50% shareholding in November 2023. The average 4E PGM basket price resulted in a 4% production
(excluding PoC) increase to 828,460 4Eoz, with AISC 9% higher year-on-year to R21,533/4Eoz (US$1,150/4Eoz) (excluding PoC cost). A 28%
decline in the average 4E PGM basket price however resulted in adjusted EBITDA declining by 60% to R4.8 billion (US$255 million). Free
cash flow of R849 million (US$45 million) reflects a strong recovery from a negative adjusted free cash flow of R263 million (US$14 million) for
H1 2023. Further cost benefits from restructuring in the SA region are expected to emerge in coming periods, further underpinning cash
flow.
The Kroondal transaction is value accretive for all stakeholders and will extend the life of the Kroondal operations by 10 years, adding
1.7M 4Eoz of additional production whilst bringing forward significant value through the early mining of SRPM resources from low cost
Kroondal infrastructure. Whilst the move from Purchase of Concentrate (PoC) to toll will result in AISC for Kroondal increasing, it will also
derive full exposure to the metal price and higher margins at spot prices, although H2 2024 operating and financial results will be affected
by the transition due to the timing in which production and sales are declared. The consolidation of Kroondal under Sibanye-Stillwater’s
ownership will also be effected through the consolidation of Kroondal into the Rustenburg operation, creating a simpler management
structure and allowing for the Kroondal employees to join the Rustenburg Employees share ownership plan once the merger is finalised.
SA gold operations
Gold production from the SA gold operations of 10,703kg (344,109oz) for H1 2024 was 17% lower than for H1 2023 with AISC of R1,251k/kg
(US$2,078/oz), 18% higher, primarily due to cessation of production from Kloof 4 shaft during 2023 but with some costs still being incurred
during Q1 2024 due to the phased closure process. Adjusted EBITDA from the SA gold operations of R2.2 billion (US$117 million) was 7%
lower than for H1 2023, but 92% higher than for H2 2023, with comparisons strongly influenced by the closure of Kloof 4 shaft. Free cash
flow improved by R1.2 billion compared with H2 2023.
Improvements at the Driefontein and Beatrix operations are expected to be sustained into H2 2024, with ongoing cost and efficiency
benefits from the SA region restructuring also expected to be realised over the next year. The Burnstone project has been delayed to
preserve capital with 2024 expenditure restricted to preserving optionality for potential resumption of the project under more favourable
conditions.
Flexibility at the Kloof operation has been impacted by the closure of Kloof 4 shaft with the mine experiencing elevated levels of seismicity
during H1 2024 in high grade areas. The creation of flexibility with additional production from the extensive secondary reefs, as well as
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 5
access to targeted higher grade VCR areas, is currently being planned and executed. This includes a review of the Kloof infrastructure to
support a lower cost base with enhanced operational flexibility.
SA uranium
We are looking to monetise our SA region uranium assets through commercial arrangements without recourse to our Balance sheet while
retaining optionality to positive uranium market fundamentals. The SA uranium assets comprise 32.2mlbs (U3O8) contained in the Cooke
TSF and 26.9 mlbs (U3O8) shallow underground resources at the Beisa (Beatrix 4 shaft) resource. Both opportunities are likely to be realized
through partnerships following appropriate studies. In March we announced the appointment of Greg Cochran as Executive Vice
President (EVP) Head of Uranium. Greg, a respected international mining executive with over 30 years of experience in a diverse range of
commodities and in various leadership positions globally and in uranium will be responsible for developing and driving the strategies to
realise and optimise the inherent value of the uranium resources.
European region
Keliber lithium project
The Keliber lithium project is progressing well with commissioning of the refinery on track to initially treat third party concentrate during
2025 and first production from own ore during 2026. Due to various factors, capex is unlikely to meet the original guidance of €361 million
for 2024 and has been guided down to €300 million, albeit without changes to the overall project budget and timing at this stage. The
reduction in capex guidance has positive implications for Group cashflow for 2024, effectively preserving €61 million (R1.2 billion) cash,
noting that this is ringfenced for financing of the Keliber lithium project.
Sandouville refinery
The operating performance of the Sandouville refinery was significantly improved as a result of improved circuit availability and
production stability following repairs to the cathode units in the electro winning circuit in mid-2023 and other improvements to the plant.
Nickel production of 4,270tNi was 22% higher than for H1 2023, with nickel equivalent sustaining cost declining by 37% to US$23,684/tNi
(R443,366/tNi), primarily due to reduced feedstock purchase costs (lower nickel price), and lower reagent and overhead costs. Due to
these cost and volume improvements and inventory movement benefits during Q1 2024, the adjusted EBITDA loss for H1 2024 of US$15
million (R280 million) was 57% lower than for H1 2023.
Due to a structural change in the nickel market and constraints regarding the further ramp up of production without additional capital
investment, the Sandouville refinery is not economically viable in its current form producing nickel metals and nickel salts. Consistent with
the Group’s commitment to address operational losses and allowing for potential conversion of the Sandouville refinery for production of
precursor cathode active material (pCAM), an agreement to terminate the commercial supply contract was reached at a cost of €37
million, with supply ceasing on or before 31 December 2024 and refining of inventory and sales extending into Q1 2025.
Our intention was always to convert or utilise the Sandouville operation to produce battery metals for the French battery industry. During
investigations into the viability of producing nickel sulphate, the Gallicam project was identified as an alternative option by the leadership
team. This envisages the conversion of the Sandouville facility to produce pCAM, which we believe will be a strategically important
product delivered into the European battery ecosystem. It is expected to be lower cost and less capital intensive than current processes
or greenfield developments because the novel chloride process identified utilizes most of the existing chloride processing circuit already in
place at Sandouville. The chloride chemistry is also indicated to be more efficient and generates more benign waste products than
current sulphate processes. We have submitted a patent application for our process in France and are engaging relevant stakeholders
regarding the potential future conversion of the Sandouville plant dependent on the outcome of feasibility studies that are underway.
Australian region
Century operation
The Century zinc tailings retreatment operation in Queensland Australia was disrupted by adverse weather in Q1 2024, and cash flows
were impacted by scheduled maintenance on trans-shipment vessels during H1 2024. With production normalising from Q2 2024 and sales
of stockpiled concentrate in July and August, cashflow should be strong for the remainder of the year. Although zinc metal produced
(payable) of 42ktZn and AISC of US$2,228/tZn were towards the lower end of the H1 contribution to 2024 guidance, with continued strong
operations annual guidance should be achieved. This, coupled with the increase in the zinc price and significantly lower annual
benchmark treatment charges (US$165/tonne in 2024 vs US$274/tonne in 2023), has improved the outlook and the Century operations are
expected to contribute positively to Group adjusted EBITDA.
Due to the relatively short reserve life of the zinc tailings operations at Century, options to extend the life of the assets through leveraging
the existing processing plant, pipeline and port infrastructure have been actively explored. This includes opportunities to potentially utilise
the extensive phosphate resources in the region that are largely undeveloped.
A class 3 feasibility study for the Mt Lyell Copper Project has been completed and will be followed by the Class 2 feasibility study which will
take approximately 12 months.
US region
US PGM operations
The restructuring (repositioned for lower production and cost) undertaken during Q4 2023 at the US PGM operations resulted in a
significantly improved performance for H1 2024 compared with H1 2023. Mined 2E production was 16% higher than for H1 2023 and 7%
higher than for H2 2023, with AISC declining by 23% year-on-year to US$1,343/2Eoz (R25,149/2Eoz), within guidance for 2024 and the best
operational performance since H1 2021. PGM prices have remained under pressure during 2024 however, with the average 2E PGM
basket price received for H1 2024, 30% lower year-on-year, resulting in adjusted EBITDA (excluding the US$43 million (R812 million)
insurance claim related to the 2022 flood) of negative US$16 million (R306 million), compared with positive US$53 million (R976 million) for
H1 2023.
Despite the positive production and cost outcomes, the 2E PGM basket price during 2024 has remained at levels some US$300 - 400/oz
below the average AISC for H1 2024 and reducing unit cost to achieve profitability at current prices is not possible without increased
capital investment in production growth. The capital investment required is not feasible at current PGM prices and as a result, further
restructuring of the US PGM operations is necessary to reduce cash outflows while ensuring the sustainability of the Columbus autocatalyst
recycling operation. The restructuring is likely to result in sustainable 2E production from the US PGM operations reducing by approximately
200,000 2Eoz (relative to 2024 guidance), with a consequent reduction in the workforce. A fundamental review of the mine operations to
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 6
reduce AISC to approximately US$1,000/2Eoz will then follow. Further detail will be provided in the presentation available at H1 2024
results download link. The slides will also be discussed during the webcast at 14h00 (CAT) / 13h00 (GMT) / 08h00 (EST) / 06h00 (MT),
available at Webcast link.
US Recycling
Our strategy to build an urban mining footprint has progressed well. Despite the downturn in commodity prices, the benefits of having
recycling operations with stable margins through commodity price cycles were apparent, with the US PGM recycling business contributing
positive Adjusted EBITDA of US$8 million (R147 million) and the Reldan recycling operations contributing adjusted EBITDA of US$0.3 million
(R6 million) for the four months since acquisition with both contributing positive cashflow.
Sibanye-Stillwater Reldan is an e-waste and industrial scrap business with well-established extensive networks in the US and Mexico, and
developing in India. The integration of Reldan is expected to unlock synergies with our existing PGM recycling operations with significant
potential to build the footprint into Asia, and particularly India where Reldan already has a joint venture.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The extended period of low commodity prices (with the notable exception of gold) and persistent cost inflation, has continued to
squeeze margins and reduce earnings and cash flows for the global mining industry with even gold mining companies only recently
managing to shake off the effects of margin squeeze and beginning to deliver financial leverage.
The Group’s financial results for H1 2024 reflect this low prevailing commodity price environment, with Group profitability lower year on
year, primarily due to the material decline in PGM prices compared with H1 2023. Significantly higher capex at the Keliber lithium project
and DRDGOLD (funding growth projects), offset the capex reductions at the US PGM operations and SA region. As capex drops from
peak levels at these projects, Group cash flow should improve materially.
Group adjusted EBITDA declined by 53% to R6.6 billion (US$355 million), with the SA PGM operations, which experienced a R7.0 billion or
60% decline in adjusted EBITDA to R4.8 billion, accounting for 94% of this decline. Other than the US PGM operations and US PGM recycling
operations, which were also impacted by lower PGM basket prices year-on-year, the financial performance of the other Group
operations improved year-on-year, with an improved operational performance from the Sandouville refinery reducing adjusted EBITDA
losses and the SA gold and Century zinc operations benefiting from higher prices. The restructuring actions taken at the US PGM
operations and SA region operations, resulted in Group free cash flow improving by R797 million relative to H2 2023.
The Group reported a loss of R7.1 billion (US$379 million) (after tax) for H1 2024 compared with a profit of R7.8 billion (US$427 million) for H1
2023, including a R7.6 billion (US$407 million) impairment of the US PGM operations made due to 5-8% lower consensus palladium prices
utilised for fair value calculation purposes. As a result, a basic loss per share (EPS) of 264c with headline earnings per share (HEPS) of 5c is
reported for H1 2024 compared with EPS of 264c and HEPS of 208c for H1 2023.
As per the Group dividend policy, no dividend is declared due to a normalised earnings1 loss of R208 million (US$11 million) for H1 2024.
Despite negative free cash flow of R7.3 billion (US$391 million) for the period, the Group financial position remained solid, with the net debt
to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.43x being well within comfort levels. Although net debt increased by R6.8 billion (US$367 million) (borrowings
of R34.2 billion (US$1.9 billion) and cash and cash equivalents of R15.5 billion (US$844 million)) the primary reason for the increase in
leverage from 0.58x at the end of H2 2023 was the decline in the 12 month trailing adjusted EBITDA to R13.1 billion (US$0.7 billion).
To guard against further declines in adjusted EBITDA that may result from protracted low PGM prices, the uplift on Group debt covenants
to 3.5x until 30 June 2025 and to 3.0x until 31 December 2025 provides significant financial headroom and reduces financial risk. The other
Balance sheet protection measures announced by the Group post the end of H1 2024 (as discussed previously) have further reinforced
the Group Balance sheet and significantly improved the Group’s financial liquidity and flexibility.
1 Normalised earnings is not a measure of performance under IFRS. As a result, it should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to any other measure of financial performance presented in
accordance with IFRS. See note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the definition and reconciliation of normalised earnings

SIBANYE-STILLWATER GROUP SAFETY AND OPERATING REVIEW
SAFETY
Our primary safety goal for 2024 continues to be eliminating fatal and serious incidents through our Fatal elimination strategy, which
comprises three key pillars: critical controls, critical lifesaving behaviours and critical management routines. Since implementing this
strategy, meaningful reductions in risk have been achieved across the majority of our operations and are reflected in the further
improvement in safety lagging and leading indicators. During H1 2024, the Group achieved the lowest Serious Injury Frequency Rate (SIFR)
and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) since its inception in 2013. There has also been a consistent decline in high potential
incidents (HPIs) since H2 2022.
When we commenced our Fatal elimination strategy in 2022, our initial focus was to address the identified major risks that historically
caused the most fatal incidents at our operations. This led to the development of 19 Group minimum standards covering all the major risk
areas at our operations and provided the basis for a real reduction in the major hazards most prominent in our business.
We continue to encourage a bottom-up approach to safety, empowering our entire workforce to take ownership of their and their
colleagues’ safety. The considerable increase in the proportion of safety stoppages initiated by frontline employees, to 74% from a
baseline of 30% at the start of 2023 and a starting point of 3% in early 2022, serves as a strong leading indicator of heightened awareness
and a safety-oriented and enabled culture among our frontline employees, driving our safety value. These developments are helping to
build trust and allow line management to provide the leadership required to enable employees to work safely in all respects.
The key focus for 2024 will remain on fully entrenching our strategy and enabling teams to deliver sustainable safe predictable production
as we further embed our values-based decision-making culture.
In this regard, it was pleasing to note the overall improvement in Group safety indicators year-on-year. The Group serious injury frequency
rate (SIFR) improved from 2.79 (per million hours worked) for H1 2023 to 2.12 for H1 2024, a 24% improvement, with the lost time injury
frequency rate (LTIFR) decreasing by 17% from 4.78 to 3.97 and total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) decreasing from 5.46 to 4.42
for the same period.
Notwithstanding the progress being made through our Fatal Elimination Strategy, the loss of any colleagues is deeply mourned. On 4 June
2024, Mr Nelson Kunene, a 39-year-old drill rig operator at three shaft, Beatrix operation, was fatally injured when the drill rig toppled over
and he was caught between the boom of the rig and the sidewall. On 27 June 2024, Mr Ekabang Hlasa, a 54-year-old loader operator at
Masimthembe shaft Kloof operation, succumbed to injuries sustained during a fall of ground incident. Together with the loss of Mr Reginald
Sekati a utility vehicle operator at Bathopele, Rustenburg operation, during Q1 2024, a total of three fatalities was experienced during H1
2024, compared with six fatalities during H1 2023. The Group fatal injury frequency rate (FIFR) (per million hours worked) improved from 0.07
for H1 2023 to 0.04 for H1 2024. All incidents have been investigated with relevant stakeholders to understand the root causes and specify
risk mitigation measures for implementation.
The Board and management of Sibanye-Stillwater extend their sincere condolences to the loved ones, families and friends of our
deceased colleagues, and support has been provided to the families of the deceased.
Turning to the various operations, the SA PGM operations reported an improvement in the safety performance for H1 2024 with the TRIFR
decreasing from 5.44 for H1 2023 to 4.05 for H1 2024, a decrease of 26%. Pleasingly the SIFR improved by 32% from 2.37 for H1 2023 to 1.60
for H1 2024, one of the lowest SIFRs ever recorded.
The SA gold operations safety performance also improved, notwithstanding two fatalities reported in H1 2024 (six fatalities in H1 2023), with
the FIFR decreasing from 0.19 for H1 2023 to 0.07 for H1 2024. The TRIFR also improved from 4.97 for H1 2023 to 4.27 for H1 2024.
The US operations safety performance for H1 2024 regressed, with recordable injuries increasing from 28 to 30 year-on-year, resulting in the
TRIFR increasing from 12.61 for H1 2023 to 15.73 for H1 2024. The integration of the recent acquisition of Reldan precious metals recycling
group, is underway and their results are included as part of the US region from 1 April 2024.
The European region recorded a TRIFR of 3.12 for H1 2024, a slight regression as compared to 2.90 for H1 2023. The TRIFR of the European
operations is significantly lower than the Group average of 4.42, as a result of Sandouville being an industrial surface complex and the
commencement of construction of the Keliber lithium project. The improved focus placed on unsafe work stoppages during 2024 in this
region is notable.
The Australian region reported three recordable injuries during H1 2024, at a TRIFR of 9.50. The consistent percentage (>80%) of frontline
stoppages recorded during 2024 is a reflection on the mature safety culture already entrenched in the region.
OPERATING REVIEW
Americas (US) region
US PGM operations
The US PGM operations' performance for H1 2024 confirmed the effectiveness of the revised restructuring plan implemented in Q4 2023,
delivering the highest production and the lowest AISC since H2 2021. Despite the operational improvement however depressed PGM
prices remain a significant challenge and further actions to address the cost structures at the US PGM operations are being taken.
Mined 2E PGM production of 238,139 2Eoz for H1 2024 was 16% higher than for H1 2023, with tonnes milled and plant head grade both
improving by 9% and 7% respectively year-on-year. Even adjusting for the impact of the shaft incident at the Stillwater West mine which
reduced H1 2023 production by 24,600 2Eoz, production would have been 3% higher.
2E PGM production from the Stillwater mine of 155,222 2Eoz for H1 2024, was 26% higher than for H1 2023, with production from the East
Boulder mine of 82,918 2Eoz, 1% higher.
AISC of US$1,343/2Eoz (R25,149/2Eoz) for H1 2024 was 23% lower than for H1 2023, primarily due to increased production, and significantly
lower ORD and sustaining costs. AISC excluding the IRS credit adjustment provided for (45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit
45x), would have declined by 27% to US$1,366/2Eoz (R25,566/2Eoz). The 45x provision for H1 2024 of US$5 million (R99 million) was lower
than provided for H1 2023 (US$25 or R455 million) due to 45x provisions being limited to processing and not applying to mining as per the
limited guidance issued by the IRS during H2 2024, after which the H1 2023 45X provision was adjusted on a cumulative basis during H2
2023.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 8
In line with the revised production plan ORD expenditure declined from US$111 million (R2.0 billion) for H1 2023 to US$65 million (R1.2 billion)
for H1 2024, or a decline in unit cost terms of 49% from US$541/2Eoz (R9,858/2Eoz) for H1 2023 to US$273/2Eoz (R5,119/2Eoz) for H1 2024.
Sustaining capital decreased by 51% to US$21 million (R391 million) for H1 2024, a decrease in unit cost terms of 58% or US$122/2Eoz
(R2,173/2Eoz) to US$88/2Eoz (R1,6425/2Eoz). This reduced expenditure was primarily due to ventilation improvement costs incurred during
H1 2023 which were not repeated during H1 2024, reduced transport and mining fleet replacement and lower expenditure on tailings
storage facilities (TSF) year-on-year.
The 30% decline in the average 2E PGM basket price to US$977/2Eoz (R18,289/2Eoz) for H1 2024 was the primary reason for the decline in
adjusted EBITDA year-on-year, despite improved production and lower AISC. Adjusted EBITDA of US$27 million (R488 million) for H1 2024
was 49% lower than for H1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for H1 2024 benefited from the award of a US$43 million (R812 million) insurance claim
related to the 2022 flood, which was received in Q1 2024. Excluding the insurance claim, adjusted EBITDA would have been negative
US$16 million (R306 million)
Capital expenditure decreased by 47% year-on-year to US$93 million (R1.7 billion), with 92% (or US$86 million/R1.6 billion) of this amount
spent on ORD and sustaining capital. Growth project capital was 68% lower at US$7 million (R134 million) with the Stillwater East (Blitz)
project capital suspended following the repositioning of operations for the lower price environment.
US recycling operations
US PGM recycling operation
The uncertain global economic and geopolitical outlook, ongoing recessionary concerns and higher interest rates led to decreased
consumer demand for new vehicles, with light duty vehicles (LDV) remaining in service for extended periods and fewer vehicles being
scrapped.
Reflecting these factors, average volumes of spent autocatalysts fed at the US PGM recycling operation of 10.7 tonnes per day (tpd) for
H1 2024 were 2% lower when compared to H1 2023 feed rates of 10.9 tpd. During H1 2024, 1,959 tonnes of recycled material was
purchased and processed. At the end of H1 2024, approximately 62 tonnes of recycling inventory was on hand, from H1 2023 ending
inventory of 27 tonnes.
Adjusted EBITDA from the PGM recycling operation decreased by 61% year-on-year to US$8 million (R147 million). The decrease was due
to a 54% decrease in the average 3E PGM recycle basket price to US$1,252/3Eoz (R23,437/3Eoz) and 3E PGM sold increasing by 3% to
157,990 3Eoz.
The current environment remains challenging, however, feed rates have stabilised. Following the recent acquisition of Reldan operations
and significant progress in integration, potential synergies are also being assessed.
Reldan recycling operations
The acquisition of the Reldan recycling operations was concluded on 15 March 2024 and financially consolidated into the Group from
March 2024. For the period since the closure of the transaction, Reldan processed 6 million lbs of mixed scrap and sold 41,868 oz gold,
855,870 oz silver, 7,143 oz platinum, 7,5000 oz palladium, and 1.1 million lbs of copper.
Adjusted EBITDA of US$0.3 million (R6 million) and adjusted free cash flow of US$9 million (R171 million) were generated by the Reldan
operations for the period since acquisition. The integration of Reldan into Sibanye-Stillwater is well advanced and is expected to be
completed by year end.
Southern Africa (SA) region
SA PGM operations
The operational performance from the SA PGM operations for H1 2024 (including attributable production from Mimosa and third-party
purchase of concentrate (PoC)) was solid, with 4E PGM production of 878,606 4Eoz, 4% higher than for H1 2023. The acquisition of Anglo
American Platinum Limited’s 50% share of the Kroondal Pool and Share Agreement from 1 November 2023 resulted in an additional 67,834
4Eoz of attributable production for H1 2024, which more than offset the impact of the restructuring and closure of loss-making shafts during
the period, the failure of the Siphumelele shaft bin which impacted production for two months and the unprotected sit-in and industrial
action at the Kwezi and K6 shafts, Kroondal operation. Production from the Kroondal operation was also lower year-on-year due to the
closure of the Simunye shaft and Klipfontein open cast mine towards the end of 2023.
4E PGM production (excluding PoC of 50,146 4Eoz) of 828,460 4Eoz, was 4% higher year-on-year, with underground production of 751,064
4Eoz and surface production of 77,396 4Eoz for H1 2024 (excluding PoC) both increasing by 4%. Production has increased steadily after a
slow start to the year with production for June 2024 the highest for H1 2024.
Comparison of total operating cost on a direct basis year-on-year, is difficult due to the consolidation of 100% of Kroondal's costs for H1
2024 (only an attributable 50% for H1 2023) as well as restructuring costs and disruptions incurred during H1 2024, with some of the benefits
of the restructuring still to come through in H2 2024.
AISC (excluding PoC) of R21,533/4Eoz (US$1,150/4Eoz) for H1 2024 increased by 9% year-on-year. This increase was primarily driven by a
17% year-on-year increase at the Kroondal operations primarily due to reduced production from the Simunye shaft and the Klipfontein
opencast mine that ended in 2023 and the production impact of the illegal strike action. Unit cost at the Rustenburg operation increased
by 8% year-on-year, a pleasing result considering higher sustaining capital invested at the Rustenburg operations associated with
Kroondal extension projects, and the negative impact of the Siphumelele shaft bin incident which halted production from this shaft for 8
weeks. Costs at Marikana were also well managed with unit costs increasing 9% over the comparison period, primarily driven by
restructuring costs associated with the 4B and Rowland shafts and a once of liability adjustment. These impacts were partly mitigated by
lower royalties which declined by 75% due to a significant decline in revenue, ORD which declined by 13% due to less development at
the 4B, Rowland and Siphumelele shafts. AISC (including PoC) of R21,448/4Eoz (US$1,146/4Eoz) for H1 2024 was 6% higher than for H1 2023,
due to a 22% decrease in PoC purchase costs to R1.2 billion (US$66 million), as a result of the year-on-year decline in the PGM basket
price.
By-product credits increased by 16% to R5.9 billion (US$316 million) or in unit terms by 12% to R6,733/4Eoz (US$360/4Eoz) primarily due to a
42% increase in the value of chrome sold to R3.1 billion (US$168 million), which was 53% of the by-product credits for H1 2024.
H1 2024 chrome sales of 1,295 kilotonnes (kt) were 19% higher than for H1 2023. Chrome revenue of R3.1 billion (US$168 million) for H1 2024
was 42% higher than for H1 2023, due to increased sales volumes and a 4% increase in the received chrome price of US$298/t. The
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 9
strategic investment in increasing chrome production over the past years, has delivered a strategically relevant and diversified
component of the basket of metals produced. Chrome sales have increased from approximately 1,800 kt million tonnes in 2021 to over
2,500kt forecast for 2024.
The SA PGM operations remained profitable despite the significant decline in the 4E PGM basket price. Adjusted EBITDA of R4.8 billion
(US$255 million) for H1 2024 was 60% lower than for H1 2023 due to the average 4E PGM basket price for H1 2024 declining 28% to
R24,499/4Eoz (US$1,309/4Eoz), partly offset by the 3% depreciation of the rand versus the US dollar year-on-year.
Capital expenditure for H1 2024 was stable year on year, decreasing by 1% to R2.5 billion (US$136 million) compared to H1 2023. ORD
declined by 13% due to less development at the 4B, Rowland and Siphumelele shafts post the restructuring, offsetting the combined
effects of an 18% increase in sustaining capital. Project capital increased by 1% to R444 million (US$24 million) with spending primarily on
the Marikana K4 project (R350 million/US$19 million) and R79 million (US$4 milion) spent at Rustenburg on a reflux classifier chrome
recovery unit acquired from a third party.
Production from the Rustenburg operation of 295,266 4Eoz for H1 2024 was 6% lower than for H1 2023, with underground production of
257,059 4Eoz, 7% lower and surface production of 38,207 4Eoz, 4% higher year-on-year. Production was impacted by the Siphumelele
head gear bin failure that resulted in a loss of two months of production from March 2024 and with a phased startup from May 2024. After
a slow start to the year, the production trend has improved steadily during H1 2024. AISC of R19,721/4Eoz (US$1,053/4Eoz) for H1 2024 was
8% higher year-on-year primarily as a result of lower production and sustaining capital which increased by 27% to R347 million (US$19
million) due to Siphumelele shaft repair costs and other once of items as well as R19 million (US$1 million) investment in the Thembelani
incline shaft deepening project which will extend the shaft to access UG2 reef. The Thembelani shaft deepening project is expected to be
completed in 2028 at a total cost of R680 million (in 2022 terms). Offsetting these costs was a 72% decrease in royalties due to lower PGM
prices, ORD which declined by 11% and by-product credits which were 24% higher to R2.7 billion (US$143 million) primarily due to the 45%
increase in chrome revenue. Chrome sold for H1 2024 increased by 32% year-on-year. By-products credits reduced AISC by R9,053/4Eoz
(US$484/4Eoz).
Production from the Marikana operation for H1 2024 (including third party PoC) of 362,835 4Eoz was 1% lower than H1 2023 with PoC
processed of 50,146 4Eoz, 1% higher. Production (excluding PoC) of 312,689 4Eoz was 2% lower with underground production of 296,669
4Eoz, 3% lower and surface production of 16,020 4Eoz, 30% higher year-on-year, benefiting from better recoveries and improved plant
stability following the conversion from hydro mining to a hydro/mechanical hybrid method in 2023. The Marikana underground operations
were impacted by the restructuring of the Rowland shaft (13,868 4Eoz) and underperformance and subsequent closure of the 4B shaft
(14,490 4Eoz), which was partially offset by increased production from the K4 shaft. AISC (including PoC) of R23,735/4Eoz (US$1,268/4Eoz),
was only 3% higher year-on-year, with PoC purchase costs declining by 22% year-on-year to R1.2 billion (US$66 million) in line with the
decline in PGM prices. AISC (excluding PoC) increased by 9% year-on-year to R24,308/4Eoz (US$1,299/4Eoz) for H1 2024. The primary
factors driving AISC for the Marikana operation, other than above inflation cost factors, was marginally lower production and a once off
R372 million liability adjustment in Q1 2024 which increased H1 2024 AISC (excluding PoC) by R1,190/4Eoz (US$64/4Eoz) or 5%. Offsetting
these factors was a 79% decline in royalties year-on-year due to the lower PGM basket price and 13% lower ORD, primarily due to lower
primary development at the restructured B4 and Rowland, shafts.
The K4 project produced 26,178 4Eoz for H1 2024 (7,063 4Eoz for H1 2023), with production expected to increase during H2 2024 as
additional ledging crews are trained and deployed. During the K4 project build up phase operating costs, ORD and sustaining capital will
remain elevated on a unit cost basis, but are expected to reduce as production increases. AISC for H1 2024 was approximately
R47,000/4Eoz, but is expected to reduce to around R20,000/4Eoz by 2029. Project capital guidance of R825 million (US$51 million) is
unchanged for 2024, with R350 million (US$19 million) spent for H1 2024.
Production from the Kroondal operation for H1 2024 of 135,668 4Eoz was 62% higher year-on-year due to the consolidation of 100% of the
operations. On a comparable 100% basis year-on-year, production 31,364 4Eoz or 19% lower, primarily due to the closure of the Simunye
shaft (-10,692 4Eoz) and Klipfontein opencast mine (-12,306 4Eoz), as well as the unprotected sit-in at the Kwezi shaft and subsequent
associated disruptions. AISC increased by 17% year-on-year to R20,845/4Eoz (US$1,114/4Eoz), mainly as a result of the decline in
production.
Attributable PGM production from Mimosa for H1 2024 of 61,668 4Eoz was 8% higher than for H1 2023, with tonnes milled increasing by 8%
and recoveries by 3% due to optimisation of the reagent suite. AISC of US$1,151/4Eoz (R21,551/4Eoz) was 10% lower year-on-year, due to
higher production and reduced sustaining capital following the completion of the plant optimization study and pending completion of
the new TSF in Q3 2024.
PGM production from Platinum Mile for H1 2024 of 23,169 4Eoz was 8% lower than for H1 2023, as a result of lower run of mine tonnes
surface mined tailings feed. Recoveries have continued to improve post the Waterval West dam conversion to 100% mechanical from
hydro-mining, which has improved plant stability resulting in a 4% increase in recovery year-on-year. AISC increased by 4% to R11,049/4Eoz
(US$590/4Eoz) despite lower production primarily due to by-product credits which increased by 254% to R145 million (US$8 million). A
chrome extraction plant completed at the end of 2023 is in build-up phase and produced 40kt of chrome for H1 2024, which is forecast to
build up to 120kt pa. Project capital expenditure declined by 58% to R15 million (US$1 million) for H1 2024 as a result of the completion of
the chrome extraction plant.
SA gold operations
Production from the managed SA gold operations (excluding DRDGOLD) for H1 2024 decreased by 21% or 2,163kg (69,542oz) to 8,248kg
(265,179oz), with production from the Kloof operation accounting for 68% or 1,461kg (46,972oz) of the production decline. The absence of
production from Kloof 4 shaft which was closed during Q4 2023, was compounded by seismic activity at Kloof main shaft which restricted
access to high grade panels. Production from the Beatrix operation for H1 2024 was 18% lower contributing 17% of the year-on-year
shortfall primarily due to a back-break incident. The Driefontein operation was also temporarily impacted by seismicity and geological
challenges however production recovered from a slow start to the year and was much improved by the end of H1 2024. Production from
the SA gold operations (including DRDGOLD) for H1 2024 of 10,703kg (344,109oz) was 17% lower than for H1 2023.
As a result of the constrained production, AISC (excluding DRDGOLD) increased by 20% year-on-year to R1,339,500/kg (US$2,226/oz). AISC
(including DRDGOLD) of R1,250,647 (US$2,078/oz) was 18% higher year-on-year. AISC/oz is expected to reduce in H2 2024 as production/
gold sales increase and the full effect of the regional restructuring is realised.
The average gold price received for H1 2024 increased by 18% to R1,327,000/kg (US$2,205/oz) offsetting the impact of the operational
disruptions to a large extent. Adjusted EBITDA (Including DRDGOLD) of R2.2 billion (US$117 million) for H1 2024, decreased from R2.4 billion
(US$130 million) for H1 2023, with adjusted EBITDA from the SA managed operations of R1.1 billion (US$59 million) declining from R1.4 billion
(US$79 million) for H1 2023. With the restructuring now largely concluded and remedial action taken at the Driefontein and Beatrix
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 10
operations, it is anticipated that production will improve during H2 2024, with the operational and regional services restructuring which
was concluded in June 2024, also expected to reduce AISC for the SA region operations.
Capital expenditure (excluding DRDGOLD) decreased by 27% year-on-year to R2.0 billion (US$106 million) primarily due to the closure of
Kloof 4 shaft although ORD increased by 1% to R1.4 billion (US$75 million) due to increased secondary reef development to maintain
flexibility at the Kloof and Driefontein operations. Sustaining capital declined by 29% to R292 million (US$16 million) due to significantly
lower sustaining capital requirements at both the Beatrix and Kloof operations. Project capital for H1 2024 of R284 million (US$15 million)
was 69% or R618 million (US$34 million) lower as a result of the Burnstone project being slowed down with R281 million (US$15 million) spent
for H1 2024. Capital expenditure (including DRDGOLD) for H1 2024 increased by 32% to R4.4 billion (US$237 million) as a result of a
significant increase in project capital at DRDGOLD (refer to commentary at the end of this section).
Production from the Driefontein operation recovered after a slow start to the year. Monthly production increased from less than 400kg to
650kg to 700kg per month during the period, with underground production for H1 2024 of 3,499kg (112,495oz), 10% lower than for H1 2023
as a result of two Section 54 stoppages at 5 shaft, and seismic incidents which restricted access to high grade panels at 4 and 8 shafts.
Production for the remainder of the year is expected to be steady. Surface production of 48kg (1,543oz) was 35% lower year-on-year due
to depletion of surface resources as planned. AISC of R1,226,140 (US$2,037/oz) was 15% higher year-on-year due to lower production,
annual inflationary increases and additional costs incurred to re-establish workplaces damaged by seismicity. ORD increased by 8% for H1
2024 to R819 million (US$44 million) to maintain mining flexibility. Sustaining capital expenditure decreased by 6% to R178 million (US$10
million) due to a slower start-up of the D1 and D4 pillar projects and a change in contractor terms to performance based.
Underground production from the Kloof operation of 1,944kg (62,501oz) for H1 2024 was 46% lower than for H1 2023, primarily due to the
closure of Kloof 4 shaft in late 2023 which produced 720kg (23,149oz) for H1 2023. In addition seismicity affecting high grade panel access
at Kloof main shaft necessitated redeployment of crews to lower grade areas resulting in 514kg (16,525oz) less production from Kloof main
shaft year-on-year. Surface production of 381kg (12,249oz) for H1 2024 was 84% higher than H1 2023 due to 18% greater tonnes milled and
yield increasing by 56%, due to early processing of high grade material at the Driefontein and Ezulwini plants which have spare capacity.
AISC for H1 2024 of 1,610,671/kg (US$2,676/oz) was 34% higher year-on-year as a result of lower production with gold sold (41)% lower at
2,399kg (77,130oz). Associated with the closure of Kloof 4 shaft, ORD declined by 5% to R445 million (US$24 million), partially offset by an
increase in off-reef development at Kloof 8 shaft and sustaining capital decreased by 41% to R106 million (US$6 million).
Underground production from the Beatrix operation of 1,721kg (55,331oz) for H1 2024 was 15% lower than H1 2023 due primarily due to the
two significant back break incidents which occurred on 18 March 2024 and 8 April 2024 in wide channel mining (4 metre stoping width)
back areas, where different support standards are now being applied. Mining recommenced in June using the revised support method
and is being phased-in over Q3 2024 with some residual impact expected until the end of 2024. AISC increased by 16% year-on-year to
R1,213,437/kg (US$2,016/oz), primarily due to the decline in production and 15% lower gold sold, as well as above inflation cost pressures.
ORD for H1 2024 was 16% lower at R141 million (US$8 million) due to a decrease in off-reef development with sustaining capital declining
by 80% to R8 million (US$0.4 million) due to projects completed in 2023 and re-classification of other projects.
Gold production from the Cooke surface operation for H1 2024 increased by 14% to 645kg (20,737oz) year-on-year with AISC 29% higher
year-on-year to R1,364,055/kg (US$2,266/oz) on the back of above inflation increases in chemicals and steel balls and higher aggregate
purchase costs of third-party gold bearing material where the purchase price is linked to the gold price. Purchase of aggregate material
increased from 288kg (9,259oz) for H1 2023 to 458kg (14,725oz) for H1 2024, but resulted in increased profitability.
Gold production from DRDGOLD for H1 2024 decreased by 4% to 2,455kg (78,930oz) with tonnes milled increasing by 8% and yield
declining by 11% year-on-year, due to depletion of reclamation sites before transferring activity to new sites, which were delayed. AISC
for H1 2024 increased by 11% to R933,985/kg (US$1,552/oz) as a result of gold sold being 4% lower year-on-year and above inflationary
increases in cash operating costs. This increase was moderated by sustaining capital being 47% lower at R123 million (US$7 million).
Sustaining capital declined as a result of lower capital spent on the development of the new reclamation sites with spend having been
largely incurred in 2023. Project capital increased from R427 million (US$23 million) for H1 2023 to R2.3 billion (US$125 million) for H1 2024
primarily on the construction of the Ergo’s solar power plant and battery power storage facility underway. Capital was also invested in the
Far West Gold Recoveries’ Phase II project, to double the capacity at the Driefontein 2 Plant and to commence construction of the 800-
million-tonne regional tailings storage facility). The average rand gold price received by DRDGOLD in H1 2024 increased by 19% year-on-
year to R1,330,888/kg (US$2,211/oz) with adjusted EBITDA increasing by 16% to R1.1 billion (US$58 million).
The Burnstone project
Capital investment in the Burnstone project was deferred in H1 2024, with stoping and development activities ceasing apart from the triple
barrel main decline shaft development to access the lower mine, which is progressing well.
European region
Sandouville nickel refinery
The operating performance of the Sandouville nickel refinery for H1 2024 improved year-on-year with nickel equivalent production of
4,270tNi, 22% higher than for H1 2023. Nickel metal production increased by 36% to 3,671tNi and nickel salts production of 599 tNi was 24%
lower, in line with plan. As a result of a build-up in nickel salts inventory and anticipated lower demand from customers, nickel salts
production was reduced to adapt to market requirements with a focus on maximising nickel metal output. The plant stability and reliability
have improved steadily following extensive maintenance and improvements made to the cathode circuit in 2023, with nickel recoveries
improving to 97.9%.
The nickel-equivalent sustaining cost of US$23,684/tNi (R443,366/tNi) for H1 2024 was 37% lower year-on-year as a result of the higher
production, moderating unit prices of energy and reagents, and the lower costs of purchasing nickel matte which is linked to the London
Metal Exchange (LME) nickel price and is a meaningful costs component (the average LME nickel cash price was 28% lower year-on-year
at US$17,40/tonne for H1 2024). By-product credits of US$5 million (R88 million), 22% lower year-on-year and sustaining capital 10% higher
year-on-year at US$6 million (R107 million) incurred to continuously improve plant maintenance and de-bottleneck in order to enhance
plant stability.
Nickel metal sales increased by 28% to 3,635 tonne for H1 2024 with nickel salts sales 34% higher at 797 tonnes, 198 tonnes higher than
produced, with a temporary pick-up in demand allowing Sandouville to destock accumulated inventory. Since 1 Jan 2024, total working
capital has declined from approximately US$33 million to US$24 million, a decline of 27%. Despite a 24% year-on-year decline in the nickel-
equivalent average basket price for H1 2024 to US$20,309/tNi (R380,190/tNi), the H1 2024 adjusted EBITDA loss was US$15 million (R280
million), less than half the US$35 million (R627 million) adjusted EBITDA loss incurred for H1 2023.

Keliber lithium project
The development of the Keliber lithium project progressed well during H1 2024, with the refinery the most advanced, while the earthworks
for the concentrator and the mines have also commenced.
Most of the permits have been obtained and are legally valid, except for Rapasaari-Päiväneva environmental permit (covering the
concentrator and the Rapasaari open pit mine) where, after an appeal process, certain permit conditions were sent back to the
permitting authority for further review. The amended application is expected to be submitted by the end of 2024. The environmental
permit is valid however and allows the construction of the concentrator to proceed. The commencement of production from the
concentrator is however subject to the permitting authority’s review and the issuance of an enforceable permit decision. The current
expectation is that the concentrator operations can commence as planned. The feedstock will be secured from the Syväjärvi mine in the
event of delays in finalising the Rapasaari permit.
On 22 August 2024, Sibanye-Stillwater secured a €500 million Green loan financing for the Keliber lithium project. For more information,
please refer to www.sibanyestillwater.com/news-investors/news/news-releases/. The Green loan completes the full financing requirement
for the Keliber lithium project, and ensures that Group cash and debt facilities are ring-fenced for operational and corporate
requirements.
Key developments for H1 2024
•The on-site construction work is progressing well at both the lithium refinery in Kokkola and the concentrator in Päiväneva
•Laying of the foundation stone of the concentrator was celebrated on 4 June 2024 in Kaustinen
•Exploration also progressed for H1 2024 with 43 holes totalling 8,231 meters drilled at the key exploration targets. Several excellent
intercepts have been reported, including 19.10 metres @1.16% Li2O and 7.85 metres at 1.82% Li2O. A seasonal regional exploration
campaign commenced with boulder mapping and till sampling. Several new exploration permits were received from the mining
authorities
•Capital expenditure forecast for the project remains unchanged at €667 million (Jan 2024 real terms), including an inflation and
contingent adjustment of €11 million. Project capital expenditure spent for H1 2024 was €133 million (R2.7 billion), 100% higher year-on-
year with capital expenditure spent to date circa €260 million (R5.9 billion). The project capital guidance for 2024 is unchanged at €361
million (R6.9 billion)*
* The guidance has been translated where relevant at an average exchange rate of R17.50/US$ and R19.00/€
Australian region
Century zinc retreatment operation
Sibanye-Stillwater obtained a controlling interest in New Century Resources on 22 February 2023 and this, together with the severe adverse
weather conditions in March 2023, which resulted in the flooding of the operation and the suspension of hydro mining for approximately
three weeks, makes the comparison of the H1 2023 results to the full H1 2024 results impractical.
The Century zinc tailings retreatment operation (Century operation) produced 42kt of payable zinc metal for H1 2024 at an AISC of
US$2,2281/tZn (R41,710/tZn). Production for H1 2024 was impacted by wet weather in Q1 2024, albeit less severe than the H1 2023 weather
event which caused major flooding. Production recovered strongly in Q2 2024 with the 16kt of payable zinc produced for Q1 2024 rising to
26kt for Q2 2024, 57% higher quarter-on-quarter. The rain related downtime allowed for the completion of opportune maintenance work,
which was brought forward, and one of the two annual shutdowns was completed in March 2024.
For H1 2024 the Century zinc tailings retreatment operation reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of US$19 million (R351 million) with the
Australian region reporting an adjusted EBITDA loss of US$22 million (R410 million). For H1 2024 payable zinc sold was 31kt, 11kt lower than
payable zinc metal produced with a build-up of unsold concentrate at the Karumba port, due to the timing of shipments as a result of
planned maintenance of trans-shipment vessels. A substantial portion of this inventory was shipped in July and August 2024 with the
remaining inventory planned to be shipped over the rest of the year.
With the sale of concentrate inventory, improving fundamentals of the zinc market and a strong increase in the LME zinc price since the
end of March 2024, lower benchmark zinc treatment charges and record low spot treatment charges recently recorded, the outlook for
the Century zinc tailings retreatment operation is positive for the remainder of the year.
The Century operation spent US$2 million (R35 million) on sustaining capital expenditure and the Australian Region spent US$1 million (R17
million) on regional growth projects, including the Mt Lyell feasibility study (AACE Class 3 Estimate) which was completed during the
period. A subsequent Class 2 Feasibility Study will now be undertaken, targeting completion in 2025.
During June 2024 a zero-cost collar hedging arrangement was entered into with 2,000 tonnes of payable zinc per month hedged from
July 2024 through to December 2025 with a floor and cap of approximately A$4,133 and A$4,421 respectively.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 12
FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE SIBANYE-STILLWATER GROUP
For the six months ended 30 June 2024 (H1 2024) compared with the six months ended 30 June 2023 (H1 2023)
The reporting currency for the Group is SA rand (rand) and the functional currency of both the US PGM and US Reldan operations is US dollar (US$).
The results of the US PGM operations are therefore translated to rand at the average exchange rate for the six months, which for H1 2024 was
R18.72/US$ or 3% weaker than for H1 2023 (R18.21/US$). The results of the US Reldan operations were translated to rand at the average exchange
rate since acquisition, which for H1 2024 was R18.65/US$ (average exchange rate for the period from 15 March 2024, the effective date of the
acquisition). The functional currency of the European operations, comprising of Sandouville nickel refinery and the Keliber lithium project, is the
Euro (€) and the results of the Sandouville nickel refinery were translated to rand at the average exchange rate for the six months, which for H1
2024 was R20.24/€ or 3% weaker than for H1 2023 (R19.69/€). The Keliber lithium project is in the development phase and project development
expenses are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies for property, plant and equipment. The functional currency of the
Century zinc retreatment operation and the Mt Lyell copper mine project is the Australian dollar (A$) and the results of the Century zinc retreatment
operation were translated to rand at the average exchange rate for the six months, which for H1 2024 was R12.33/A$ or 1% stronger than for
H1 2023 (R12.40/A$, average exchange rate for the period from 22 February 2023, the effective date of the Century acquisition). Mt Lyell, a
previously operated underground copper mine was placed on care and maintenance in 2014 and a feasibility study, which considers the re-
establishment of this operation, is progressing according to plan.
Group financial performance
Group revenue for H1 2024 decreased by 9% to R55,204 million (US$2,949 million) mainly due to lower average PGM basket prices received
following a further decline in PGM metal prices and lower sales volumes at the SA managed gold operations, partially offset by higher gold prices
received during H1 2024. Group cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation increased by 7% to R48,061 million (US$2,567 million) mainly
due to higher sales volumes at all PGM operations (excluding Platinum Mile) and at the Century zinc retreatment operation and Sandouville nickel
refinery, other cost increases at the SA PGM and US PGM underground operations and above inflation cost increases at the SA gold operations,
partially offset by lower sales volumes of gold. Group (loss)/profit for H1 2024 decreased by 192% or R14,924 million (US$806 million) to a loss of
R7,138 million (US$379 million). Group adjusted EBITDA for H1 2024 decreased by 53% or R7,499 million (US$421 million) to R6,648 million (US$355
million). The 3% weaker rand relative to the US dollar, partially offset the effect of the lower average basket price at the PGM operations. Group
amortisation and depreciation decreased by 13% to R4,134 million (US$221 million) mainly due to the impact of impairments recognised during H2
2023 at the US PGM underground operations, Century zinc retreatment operation and Sandouville nickel refinery, partially offset by the addition of
the Reldan operations under the Group's Americas region which added US$4 million (R71 million) of depreciation during H1 2024.

Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 13
Revenue
Revenue from the SA PGM operations decreased by 12% to R26,649 million (US$1,424 million) due to a 28% lower average rand 4E basket price of
R24,499/4Eoz (US$1,309/4Eoz), partially offset by a 16% or 125,631 4Eoz increase in PGMs sold and a 1% increase in the sale of third-party purchase
of concentrate (PoC) ounces. The increase in 4Eoz sold was a consequence of higher production volumes and higher opening stock in 2024.
At the US PGM underground operations revenue decreased by 9% to US$260 million (R4,850 million), mainly due to a 30% decrease in the average
2E basket price to US$977, partially offset by a 27% increase in ounces sold, correlated with the higher production achieved. The rand average 2E
basket price decreased 28% to R18,289/2Eoz, offset by the higher sales volumes resulting in a 7% decrease in rand revenue to US$260 million
(R4,850 million). Revenue from the US PGM recycling operation decreased by 53% from US$422 million (R7,692 million) to US$198 million (R3,710
million) due to a 54% lower average realised basket price of US$1,252/3Eoz, partially offset by a 3% increase in recycled ounces sold. The 3%
weaker rand translated into a 52% decrease in recycling revenue to US$198 million (R3,710 million).
Since its acquisition the Reldan, operations sold silver (855,870 Toz), gold (41,868 Toz), platinum (7,143 Toz), palladium (7,500 Toz), copper (1,066,236
Lbs) and mixed scrap (2,044,892 Lbs) generating revenue of US$121 million (R2,266 million).
Revenue from the managed SA gold operations decreased by 6% to R11,614 million (US$619 million) mainly due to lower volumes. Production was
impacted by the closure of Kloof 4 shaft during H2 2023 and increased seismic activity which restricted access to high grade panels at Kloof 1
shaft, seismicity and geological challenges which restricted access to high grade panels at Driefontein and management safety
stoppages and a fall of ground incident at Beatrix, partially offset by a 18% higher rand gold price of R1,324,997/kg (US$2,201/oz). Revenue from
DRDGOLD increased by 15% to R3,266 million (US$174 million) due to a 19% higher rand gold price received of R1,330,888/kg (US$2,211/oz),
partially offset by 4% lower sales volumes.
At the European region, revenue from the Sandouville nickel refinery increased marginally from R1,677 million (US$92 million) to R1,685 million
(US$90 million), mainly due to a 29% increase in total nickel sold correlated with the higher production, partially offset by a 22% lower nickel
equivalent basket price of R380,190/tNi (US$20,309/tNi).
In the Australian region, revenue from the Century zinc retreatment operation increased by 158% to R1,304 million (US$619 million) mainly due to six
months' contribution in H1 2024 compared to four months for H1 2023 since acquisition and a 13% increase in volume of zinc sold (payable) in
concentrate at a 48% higher average equivalent zinc concentrate price of R44,297/zinc tonne (ztn) (US$2,366/ztn).
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the SA PGM operations increased by 19% to R21,623 million (US$1,155 million) mainly due to
additional contractor costs for secondary support, higher utility costs to mitigate ventilation constraints and higher maintenance costs, higher
chrome costs and costs due to the addition of the 50% share in Kroondal. Mined underground 4E PGM production increased by 3% to 689,396 4Eoz
due to the consolidation of an additional 50% of Kroondal production following the acquisition of Anglo American Platinum Limited's (Anglo) 50%
share in the PSA during Q4 2023, partially offset by lower production following the restructuring and closure of four shafts through S189 consultations
during Q1 2024 and the Siphumelele shaft incident at Rustenburg. Surface production volumes excluding third-party PoC were 4% higher at 77,396
4Eoz. Third-party PoC at the Marikana smelting and refining operations increased by 1% to 50,146 4Eoz. PoC material is purchased at a higher cost
than own mined ore, due to the direct correlation to the basket price of PGMs.
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the US PGM underground operations increased by 20% to US$274 million (R5,121 million) due
to the increase in volumes and higher materials, maintenance, services and contractor costs. Sales volumes increased by 27% to 241,206 2Eoz with
production volumes increasing by 16% to 238,139 2Eoz mainly due to the impact of the 2023 shaft incident at the Stillwater West mine which
reduced production by 24,600 2Eoz for H1 2023. Production for H1 2024 was favourable due to year-on-year improvements in both tonnes milled
and grade achieved. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the US PGM recycling operation decreased, in line with revenue, by
53% from US$402 million (R7,321 million) to US$190 million (R3,563 million) due to the continuing challenging global autocatalyst recycling market
which continues to affect receipt rates of spent autocatalysts.
Since acquisition, cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation of the Reldan operations was US$121 million (R2,257 million).
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the managed SA gold operations decreased by 4% to R9,823 million (US$525 million) mainly
due to 21% or 2,163kg lower production which was as a result of the closure of Kloof 4 shaft during H2 2023, increased seismic activity which
restricted access to high grade panels at Kloof 1 shaft, Driefontein seismicity and geological challenges which restricted access to high grade
panels and Beatrix management safety stoppages and a fall of ground incident. The decrease in cost of sales before amortisation and
depreciation due to lower volumes was partially offset by above average inflationary increases in consumables costs, higher contractor rates and
annual electricity increases, combined with higher engineering maintenance overtime. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation from
DRDGOLD increased by 14% to R2,160 million (US$115 million) due to the Ergo clean-up programme to augment lost tonnages from the delayed
start up of replacement sites (particularly Rooikraal) to depleted major reclamation sites which significantly increased machine hire costs and
contract reclamation costs.
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the Sandouville nickel refinery decreased by 18% to R1,914 million (US$102 million) mainly
due to lower maintenance, personnel and reagent costs, carbon tax refund and a 2023 electricity adjustment. Production was 22% higher at the
Sandouville refinery mainly due to improved process plant stability and reliability following maintenance work on the cathode circuit during 2023,
partially constrained by 20 days of plant shutdown due to chlorine leakage, disruption of matte supply due to a strike in Finland and an electrical
defect on the electrowinning workshop.
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the Century zinc retreatment operation increased by 88% to R1,600 million (US$85 million)
mainly due to higher consumable stores, power, contractor costs and 13% higher sales volumes. Production was 74% higher at 42 kilotonnes of zinc
metal (payable) mainly due to two additional months included in H1 2024 following the acquisition during H1 2023 and production for Q2 2024
recovered from the flooding event during Q1 2024.
Loss for the period
Profit for H1 2024 decreased by 192% from R7,786 million (US$427 million) to a loss of R7,138 million (US$379 million) mainly due to impairments raised,
a combination of lower PGM revenue and higher cost of sales as discussed above. H1 2024 impairments raised of R7,499 million (US$401 million)
related to the US PGM underground operations (Stillwater CGU). The loss was offset by a higher gain on financial instruments of R988 million (US$53
million) and higher other income of R1,069 million (US$57 million) which are discussed in the sections below.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA includes other cash costs, care and maintenance costs; lease payments; strike costs and corporate social investment costs (see
note 11.1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of profit before royalties, carbon tax and tax to adjusted
EBITDA). Care and maintenance costs for H1 2024 were R465 million (US$25 million) at Cooke (H1 2023: R438 million or US$24 million), R10 million
(US$1 million) at Beatrix (H1 2023: R225 million or US$12 million), R243 million (US$13 million) at Kloof (H1 2023: R71 million or US$4 million), R16 million
(US$1 million) at Burnstone (H1 2023: R0 million or US$0 million), R0 million (US$0 million) at DRDGOLD (H1 2023: R1 million or US$0 million), R34 million
(US$2 million) at Marikana (H1 2023: R44 million or US$2 million), R5 million (US$0 million) at Rustenburg (H1 2023: R0 million or US$0 million) and R5
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 14
million (US$0 million) at Kroondal (H1 2023: R5 million or US$0 million). Lease payments of R135 million (US$7 million) (H1 2023: R123 million or US$7
million) are included in line with the debt covenant formula and corporate social investment costs were R160 million (US$9 million) (H1 2023: R63
million (US$3 million).
Adjusted EBITDA at the SA PGM and US PGM (recycling) operations, decreased mainly due to the lower average PGM basket prices received
during H1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for H1 2024 at the US PGM (underground) operations included an insurance claim receipt of R812 million (US$43
million) for business interruption due to the flood event which occurred in June 2022, partially offset by the lower average PGM basket prices
received during H1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA at the SA gold operations decreased due to lower production and sales volumes during H1 2024
following the closure of the Kloof 4 shaft during H2 2023 and increased seismicity which restricted access to the higher grade panels at Kloof,
partially offset by a higher average gold price during H1 2024. Negative adjusted EBITDA at the Sandouville nickel refinery decreased compared
to H1 2023, mainly due to higher sales and production volumes, partially offset by a lower rand nickel equivalent average basket price. The
Century zinc retreatment operation incurred a decreased negative adjusted EBITDA of R410 million (US$22 million), mainly due to a higher average
equivalent zinc concentrate price and higher production. The Reldan operations generated adjusted EBITDA of R6 million (US$0 million) since its
acquisition on 15 March 2024.
The (Loss)/profit and Adjusted EBITDA are shown in the graphs below:

The (Loss)/profit in the graph above includes the impairments recognised during H1 2024, H2 2023 and H1 2023, which are discussed under the
Non-recurring items section further below.

1Managed SA gold operations excludes DRDGOLD
2 The SA rand amounts can be translated to US dollar at an average exchange rate of R18.21/US$ which amounts to a profit before royalties, carbon tax and tax of US$614 million (R11,183 million)
and adjusted EBITDA of US$776 million (R14,147 million)
Amortisation and depreciation
Amortisation and depreciation at the SA PGM operations increased by 24% to R1,700 million (US$91 million) due to the annual life of mine (LOM)
reserve update processed in H1 2024 and 4% higher production volumes. Amortisation and depreciation at the US PGM operations decreased by
36% to US$55 million (R1,028 million), due to the impairments raised during H2 2023, partially offset by 16% higher production volumes. Amortisation
and depreciation at the Reldan operations was US$4 million (R71 million). Amortisation and depreciation at the managed SA gold operations
increased by 10% to R1,162 million (US$62 million) mainly due to the higher ORD dropout since H2 2023 at Driefontein, partially offset by
impairments raised during H2 2023 resulting from the closure of the Kloof K4 shaft and a 21% decrease in production volumes. Amortisation and
depreciation of DRDGOLD increased by 17% to R98 million (US$5 million) due to higher tonnes processed and the startup of the new reclamation
sites at Ergo and FWGR during H1 2024. Amortisation and depreciation at the Century zinc retreatment operation decreased by 90% to R57 million
(US$3 million) mainly due to the impairments raised during H2 2023. Amortisation and depreciation at the European region decreased by 84% to
R16 million (US$1 million) mainly due to impairments raised at the Sandouville nickel refinery during H2 2023, partially offset by 22% higher
production at the Sandouville nickel refinery.
Interest income
Interest income increased by R31 million (US$1 million) to R749 million (US$40 million) mainly due to increased interest received on higher average
cash balances (R5 million or decrease: US$0 million), interest received on rehabilitation funds (R18 million or US$1 million), interest received on
rehabilitation guarantee funds (R22 million or US$1 million) and interest income on other financial assets (R1 million or US$0 million), partially offset by
a decrease in interest on right of recovery assets (R15 million or US$1 million).
Finance expense
Finance expense increased by R608 million (US$30 million) to R2,292 million (US$122 million) mainly due to a R396 million (US$20 million) net increase
in interest on borrowings, R178 million (US$9 million) increase in the unwinding of amortised cost on borrowings (both mainly as a result of the
convertible bond issue in November 2023 and draw downs on the ZAR RCF), R141 million (US$7 million) increase in unwinding of the environmental
rehabilitation obligation and R36 million (US$3 million) increase in other interest, all partially offset by decreases of R30 million (US$2 million) in the
unwinding of the Marikana dividend obligation, R10 million (US$1 million) in the unwinding of the finance costs on the deferred revenue
transactions, R2 million (US$0 million) in the unwinding of interest on lease liabilities, R16 million (US$1 million) in interest on the occupational
healthcare obligation and R85 million (US$5 million) in interest unwinding on the Rustenburg deferred payment to Anglo which ended in 2023. See
note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a breakdown of finance expenses.
Gain on financial instruments
The gain on financial instruments of R1,359 million (US$73 million) for H1 2024 compared with the gain of R371 million (US$20 million) for H1 2023,
represents a period-on-period net gain of R988 million (US$53 million). The net gain for H1 2024 is mainly attributable to a R1,733 million (US$93
million) fair value gain on the US$ convertible bond derivative financial instrument due to the decrease in the Sibanye-Stillwater share price prior to
transfer of the derivative financial instrument to equity. No further volatility, except exchange rate movements, will be reflected in the income
statement, due to the approval by the shareholders to settle the convertible bond with ordinary shares. Also included in the gain for H1 2024 were
fair value gains on the contingent consideration relating to the Kroondal acquisition of R126 million (US$7 million), on the Marikana dividend
obligation of R53 million (US$3 million) and gains on other financial instruments of R23 million (US$1 million), partially offset by fair value losses on
hedge contracts for zinc R80 million (US$4 million) and gold R56 million (US$3 million), fair value losses on investments of R16 million (US$1 million)
and fair value losses on the revised cash flows of the Rustenburg and Marikana operations' BEE cash-settled share-based payment obligations of
R424 million (US$23 million). See note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a breakdown of the gain on financial instruments.
Other costs
Other costs increased marginally from R1,744 million (US$96 million) in H1 2023 to R1,751 million (US$94 million) in H1 2024 mainly due to an increase
in the change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation obligation for the Century zinc retreatment operation of R238 million (US$13 million),
partially offset by lower exploration and service entity costs for H1 2024 of R25 million (US$1 million) and R160 million (US$9 million), respectively. See
note 5.1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 18
Other income
Other income was 277% or R1,069 million (US$57 million) higher at R1,455 million (US$78 million) mainly due to insurance proceeds received of R812
million (US$43 million) relating to the business interruption insurance claim lodged by the US PGM operations resulting from the flood event which
occurred during June 2022 and the onerous supply contract provision utilisation/change in estimate at the Sandouville nickel refinery of R324
million (US$17 million). See note 5.2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Mining and income tax
The mining and income tax expense decreased by 58% to R1,175 million (US$63 million) which is attributable to the Group’s decreased profitability.
The current tax expense decreased by 79% to R511 million (US$27 million) and the deferred tax expense increased in H1 2024 by 60% to R664 million
(US$35 million). The effective tax rate of the Group decreased from 26% to negative 20% in H1 2024 mainly due to a higher balance of deferred tax
assets not recognised during H1 2024 and a larger negative impact on the deferred tax expense during H1 2024 of changes in the estimated
deferred tax rate. At our US PGM operations in particular, at 30 June 2024, US$421 million of deferred tax assets where not recognised compared to
US$315 million at 31 December 2023.
The Group’s effective tax rate for H1 2024 is 47% lower than the South African statutory company tax rate of 27%. The lower effective tax rate is
mainly attributable to the impact of the following: decrease due to net unrecognised deferred tax assets of 52% or R3,071 million (US$164 million), a
change in the estimated long-term deferred tax rate of 4% or R213 million (US$11 million), a lower statutory tax rate applicable to the US region
operations of 1% or R31 million (US$2 million), non-deductible finance expense of 1% or R82 million (US$4 million), non-deductible loss on fair value
of financial instruments of 2% or R100 million (US$5 million), non-deductible transaction costs of 1% or R77 million (US$4 million) and a decrease due
to a rate adjustment to the South African gold mining tax formula of R19 million (US$1 million), partially offset by non-taxable share of results of
equity accounted investees of 1% or R38 million (US$2 million), US state tax adjustment of 4% or R266 million (US$14 million), and net other non-
taxable income and non-deductible expenditure of 8% or R496 million (US$26 million).
Non-recurring items
Impairments
At 30 June 2024, the Group recognised impairments of R7,624 million (US$407 million) due to:
•A decrease in medium to long-term forecast palladium prices, resulted in a decrease in the expected future net cash flows from the US PGM
operation (Stillwater CGU) and led to an impairment of property, plant and equipment amounting to R7,499 million (US$401 million)
•Specific asset impairments recognised relate to shaft 4B at Marikana which was impaired with R112 million (US$6 million) due to closure and at
Rustenburg on the Klipfontein open cast mine assets with R11 million (US$0 million)
•An impairment of R2 million (US$0 million) was recognised at Century on its evaluation and exploration assets
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs of R300 million (US$16 million) for H1 2024 consist of retrenchment costs mainly due to employees taking voluntary severance
packages as part of the S189 processes at the SA gold operations (Burnstone: R68 million or US$4 million, Kloof: R2 million or US$0 million and Cooke:
R2 million or US$0 million credit), SA PGM operations (Rustenburg R24 million or US$1 million, Marikana R201 million or US$11 million and Kroondal R1
million or US$0 million credit), Protection Services (R4 million or US$0 million)) and Academy (R2 million or R0 million) and retrenchment costs at the
US PGM operations (R2 million or US$0 million).
Transaction and project costs
Transaction and project costs of R346 million (US$18 million) for H1 2024 include project related legal and advisory fees and the project cost of the
GalliCam pre-feasibility study (R41 million or US$2 million). Legal and advisory fees on merger and acquisition activities relating to Reldan (R84
million or US$4 million), Appian (R29 million or US$2 million), Century (R24 million or US$1 million), ioneer (R2 million or US$0 million) and general legal
and advisory costs (R167 million or US$9 million).
Borrowings and net debt
Gross debt increased by 2% from R36,618 million (US$1,972 million) at 31 December 2023 to R37,316 million (US$2,025 million) at 30 June 2024. The
increase in outstanding debt was mainly due to an increase in other borrowings of R1,295 million (US$70 million) and borrowings on acquisition of
subsidiaries (Reldan) of R84 million (US$5 million), partially offset by a net decrease of R267 million (US$14 million) on US dollar denominated debt
due to a stronger rand since 31 December 2023. Net debt, excluding the Burnstone Debt which has no recourse to Sibanye-Stillwater, was R18,688
million (US$1,014 million) at 30 June 2024. The Group’s cash balance (excluding cash of Burnstone) decreased by 39% to R15,519 million (US$842
million) since 31 December 2023, and includes US$449 million (R8,272 million) held by the US PGM operations. Refer to note 11 of the condensed
consolidated financial statements for a roll forward of the gross debt for the six months ended 30 June 2024.
The Group’s total equity decreased to R46,541 million (US$2,524 million) at 30 June 2024 due to negative total comprehensive income of R7,019
million (US$356 million) for the six months ended 30 June 2023 and dividends paid of R86 million (US$5 million). These decreases were partially offset
by the recognition of derivative financial instrument in equity of R2,009 million (US$107 million) and equity settled share based payments (R4 million
or US$0 million).

Dividends
The Group’s dividend policy is to return between 25% to 35% of normalised earnings to shareholders and after due consideration of future
requirements, the dividend may be increased beyond these levels. The Board, considers normalised earnings in considering the amount to be
distributed to shareholders. The Board believes normalised earnings provides useful information to investors regarding the extent to which results of
operations may affect shareholder returns. Normalised earnings is defined as earnings attributable to the owners of Sibanye-Stillwater excluding
gains and losses on financial instruments and foreign exchange differences, impairments, gain/loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment,
occupational healthcare expenses, restructuring costs, transactions costs, share-based payment expenses on B-BBEE transactions, gains on
acquisitions, net other business development costs, share of results of equity-accounted investees, all after tax and the impact of non-controlling
interest, and changes in the estimated deferred tax rate.
In line with Sibanye-Stillwater’s dividend policy and Capital allocation framework, the Board of Directors resolved not to declare an interim
dividend (H1 2023: 53 SA cents per share). The 2023 interim dividend amounted to a payout of 35% of normalised earnings for the six months
ended 30 June 2023.
Mineral resources and mineral reserves
Other than disclosed below, there were no material changes to the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves from what was previously reported by
the Group at 31 December 2023.
•At the Keliber lithium project in Finland, the material increase in Mineral Resource that was reported at 31 December 2023 is now being
subjected to Mineral Reserves conversion, and a material increase (>10%) is expected to be reported at financial year end
•The Feasibility Study into the possible re-opening of the Mt Lyell copper mine in Tasmania (Australia) is progressing to plan. During the study work,
the Mineral Resource estimate was updated and the results are being finalised. Indications are that there will be a material increase (>20%), in
total contained metal (Cu) which will inform the study going forward
•Several mining studies are being conducted at the SA PGM operations, which have the potential to impact the Mineral Reserves. This includes
projects at Marikana (Saffy Deeps and E4) and Kroondal/Rustenburg (Siphumelele Mechanised UG2), with the Siphumelele Mechanised UG2
project the most likely to impact on our December 2024 disclosure.
•At the US PGM operations, a combination of adverse economic conditions and operational challenges are expected to have a negative
impact (>-10%) on Mineral Reserve estimates, which will be reported on in the year-end reporting
•Studies into the feasibility of extracting the uranium and gold from the Cooke dump (TSF) are progressing well, and could lead to mineral
reserve declaration in the near future

1Nickel salts consist of anhydrous nickel, nickel chloride low sodium, nickel chloride standard, nickel carbonate and nickel chloride solution
2Nickel cakes occur during the processing of nickel matte and are recycled back into the nickel refining process
3Cobalt chloride and ferric chloride are obtained from nickel matte through a different refining process on an order basis
4The Nickel equivalent average basket price per tonne is the total nickel revenue adjusted for other income less non-product sales divided by the total nickel equivalent tonnes sold
5The Nickel equivalent sustaining cost, is the cost to sustain current operations. Nickel equivalent sustaining cost and Nickel equivalent sustaining costs per tonne are intended to provide
additional information only, do not have any standardised meaning prescribed by IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to cost of sales, profit before tax, profit for the
year, cash from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Nickel equivalent sustaining cost and Nickel equivalent sustaining costs
per tonne as presented in this document may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies. Other companies may calculate these measures
differently as a result of differences in the underlying accounting principles, policies applied and accounting frameworks such as in US GAAP. Differences may also arise related to definitional
differences of sustaining versus development capital activities based upon each company’s internal policies. See "Non-IFRS measures" for more information on the metrics presented by Sibanye-
Stillwater. Because of its nature Nickel equivalent sustaining costs and Nickel equivalent sustaining costs per tonne should not be considered as a representation of financial performance
6Nickel recovery yield is the percentage of total nickel recovered from the matte relative to the nickel contained in the matte received

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. Basis of accounting and preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for interim
results and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require interim results to be prepared in
accordance with framework concepts, and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards
Accounting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the South African Institute of
Chartered Accountants Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by
the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The
accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS Accounting Standards
and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements, included in the 31 December 2023 annual
financial report.
The condensed consolidated income statement, and statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows for the six months ended 31
December 2023 were prepared by subtracting the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2023
from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The translation of the primary statements into US dollar, for convenience translation, is based on the average exchange rate for the period for the
condensed consolidated income statement, statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows, and the period-end closing exchange
rate for the condensed statement of financial position. Exchange differences on translation are accounted for in the condensed consolidated
statement of other comprehensive income. This information is provided as supplementary information only.

1 On 3 May 2023, Sibanye Gold Proprietary Limited concluded a gold hedge agreement which commenced on 4 May 2023. The agreement is structured at monthly average prices, comprising
the delivery of 154,320 ounces of gold over 12 months (12,860 ounces per month) with a zero cost collar which establishes a floor and cap of R34,214 and R46,050 per ounce, respectively. On 17
November 2023, Sibanye Gold Proprietary Limited concluded two additional gold hedge agreements which commenced on 17 November 2023. These agreements are structured at monthly
average prices, comprising the delivery of 120,000 and 240,000 ounces of gold over 12 months, respectively. The agreements have a zero cost collar which establishes a floor of R34,214 per
ounce for both agreements and cap of R43,545 and R43,800 per ounce, respectively. As hedge accounting is not applied, resulting gains or losses are accounted for as gains or losses on
financial instruments in profit or loss
2 Century concluded a hedge agreement on 15 June 2021 for 90,000 tonnes of payable zinc over three years which commenced July 2021 to June 2024 in equal monthly deliveries (2,500 tonnes
per month) at a fixed monthly price of A$3,717/t net of all fees and costs. In November 2021, Century concluded an additional hedge agreement for 90,000 tonnes of payable zinc for two years
(3,750 tonnes per month) which commenced January 2022 to December 2023 at a fixed price of A$3,938/t net of all fees and costs. During June 2024, Century concluded two additional zinc
hedge agreements, which both commenced on 1 July 2024. The first agreement is structured at monthly average prices, comprising the delivery of 5,940 tonnes of zinc over 18 months (330
tonnes per month) with a zero cost collar which establishes a floor and cap of A$4,300 and A$4,830 per tonne, respectively. The second zinc hedge agreement is structured at monthly average
prices, comprising the delivery of 30,060 tonnes of zinc over 18 months (1,670 tonnes per month) with a zero cost collar which establishes a floor and cap of A$4,100 and A$4,340 per tonne,
respectively. As hedge accounting is not applied, resulting gains or losses are accounted for as gains or losses on financial instruments in profit or loss

6. Impairments
The Group performed impairment testing for cash-generating units (CGUs) where impairment indicators were present at 30 June 2024. The below table is a
breakdown of the impairments recognised for each period ended.

| Impairment of loan to equity-accounted investee | — | (18) | — |
| Total impairments | (7,624) | (47,445) | (9) |
1 A further decrease in medium to long-term forecast palladium and platinum prices, resulted in a decrease in the expected future net cash flows from the US PGM operation (Stillwater CGU),
which contributed to the reduced value in use at 30 June 2024, and led to an impairment of property, plant and equipment amounting to R7,499 million. Specific asset impairment relates to
shaft 4B at Marikana which was impaired by R112 million due to closure and the Klipfontein open cast assets by R11 million due to the mining area not being economically viable
The impairment of mining assets for the six months ended 30 June 2024 relates to the following classes of assets:
| Figures in million - SA rand | Six months ended |
|---|---|
| Unaudited | |
| Mine development, infrastructure and other | (7,624) |
| Total impairment | (7,624) |
The assumptions applied in the value in use impairment calculation as well as the recoverable amount for the US PGM operation (Stillwater CGU)
impacted by the impairments are set out below:
| Unaudited | Unaudited | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Jun-24 | Dec-23 | ||
| Stillwater | |||
| Weighted average PGM (2E) basket price1 | US$/2Eoz | 1,206 | 1,281 |
| Inflation rate2 | % | 2.5 | 2.5 |
| Nominal discount rate3 | % | 11.5 | 12.0 |
| Life-of-mine4 | years | 45.5 | 46 |
| Recoverable amount | R' million | 15,224 | 22,246 |
1 The weighted average commodity prices and exchange rate were derived by considering various bank and commodity broker consensus forecasts
2 The inflation rate is based on the expected forecast inflation rate for the geographic region which most affects the CGU's cash flows
3 The nominal discount rate is calculated as the weighted average cost of capital of the CGU
4 Periods longer than five years for inclusion in the impairment test are considered appropriate based on the nature of the operations since a formally approved life-of-mine plan is used to
determine cash flows over the life of the mine based on the available reserves
Stillwater CGU impairment assumptions
The annual life-of-mine plan, used in the impairment assessment, takes into account the following:
•Proved and probable ore reserves of the CGU
•Cash flows based on the life-of-mine plan
•Sustaining capital expenditure estimates over the life-of-mine plan
Results of impairment assessments for the Group's CGUs
Other than the impairment to the Stillwater CGU described above, no further impairment was identified for any of the Group's other CGUs for
which impairment indicators were present. However, holding all other assumptions constant, a decrease in the average 4E PGM basket price used
for Mimosa (R25,955/4Eoz) exceeding 2.3% will result in further impairment.

Cooke (R85 million)
International tax reform - Pillar Two Model Rules exposure
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published the Pillar Two model rules designed to address the tax
challenges arising from the digitalisation of the global economy. It is unclear if the Pillar Two model rules will create additional temporary
differences, whether it will result in the remeasurement of deferred taxes and which tax rate should be used to measure deferred taxes. The Group
applied the temporary exception issued as part of the amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes to not recognise or disclose information about
deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the proposed Pillar Two model rules.
Pillar Two legislation are enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions of the Group namely, France, Finland, Canada and the United
Kingdom and are effective in these jurisdictions for the Group’s financial year beginning 1 January 2024 for purposes of the Income Inclusion Rule
(IIR) and Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT). The Group performed an assessment of the potential exposure arising from Pillar Two
legislation for jurisdictions where Pillar Two requirements are effective for the six months ended 30 June 2024. Based on the assessment performed
by the Group and application of the available transitional safe harbours, there is no impact on mining and income tax for jurisdictions where Pillar
Two legislation is effective.
In the remaining jurisdictions of the Group, Pillar Two legislation is not yet effective for the six months ended 30 June 2024. However, in South Africa
and Australia, draft legislation was prepared but not yet substantively enacted. The draft legislation, when effective, will be applicable from 1
January 2024. The Group performed an assessment of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in the jurisdictions where Pillar Two
legislation is not yet in effect based on the most recent financial information for 2024. Based on the assessment performed, the Pillar Two effective
tax rates in all other jurisdictions in which the Group operates are above 15%, being the minimum proposed tax rate, or the jurisdiction will meet
one of the transitional safe harbours and management is not currently aware of any circumstances under which this might change. Therefore, the
Group does not expect a potential significant exposure to Pillar Two top-up taxes for the six months ended 30 June 2024.

9. Dividends
Dividend policy
The Group’s dividend policy is to return between 25% to 35% of normalised earnings to shareholders and after due consideration of future
requirements the dividend may be increased beyond these levels. The Board consistently considers normalised earnings in considering the amount
to be distributed to shareholders. The Board believes normalised earnings provides useful information to investors regarding the extent to which
results of operations may affect shareholder returns. Normalised earnings is defined as earnings attributable to the owners of Sibanye-Stillwater
excluding gains and losses on financial instruments and foreign exchange differences, impairments, gain/loss on disposal of property, plant and
equipment, occupational healthcare expenses, restructuring costs, transactions costs, share-based payment expenses on B-BBEE transactions,
gains on acquisitions, net other business development costs, share of results of equity-accounted investees, all after tax and the impact of non-
controlling interest, and changes in the estimated deferred tax rate.
In line with Sibanye-Stillwater’s dividend policy and its Capital Allocation Framework, the Board of Directors resolved not to declare an interim
dividend for 2024 (2023: 53 SA cents per share). No final dividend was declared for 2023. The 2023 interim dividend amounted to a payout of 35%
of normalised earnings for the six months ended 30 June 2023.

10. Acquisitions
10.1 Reldan business combination
Sibanye-Stillwater successfully concluded the acquisition of the Reldan Group of Companies (Reldan) on 15 March 2024 by acquiring 100% of the
shares and voting interest. Reldan is a recycling group which reprocesses various waste streams to recycle precious metals and is based in
Pennsylvania, USA. In addition to Reldan's US operations, it has also established a presence in Mexico and India where it has forged strategic joint
ventures with local partners. The acquisition complements the Group's US PGM recycling business in Montana and enhances its exposure to the
circular economy.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2024 38
Reldan's financial results were consolidated from the effective date. For the three and a half months ended 30 June 2024, Reldan contributed
revenue of R2,266 million (US$121 million) and a net loss of R70 million (US$4 million) to the Group's results. Reldan's pro forma revenue and net loss
would have been R3,681 million (US$197 million) and R93 million (US$5 million), respectively, had the acquisition been effective from 1 January
- In determining these amounts, management assumed that the fair value adjustments that arose on the date of acquisition would be the
same if the acquisition occurred on 1 January 2024. The functional currency of Reldan is the US dollar.
The purchase price allocation on the effective date was allocated on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3 for, amongst others, property,
plant and equipment, investments, contingent liabilities, provisions, as well as any deferred tax implications. If new information obtained within one
year of the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, identifies adjustments to the below amounts or
any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.
Consideration
The fair value of the consideration is as follows:
| Figures in million - SA rand | |
|---|---|
| Unaudited | |
| Jun 2024 | |
| Consideration paid1 | 2,943 |
| Fair value of NCI put liability2 | 109 |
| Total consideration | 3,052 |
1 Includes transaction-related cost of US$1 million (R23 million) paid by Reldan on behalf of the previous owners. Cash consideration for the six months ended 30 June 2024 amounted to US$155.9
million (R2,920 million)
2 Relates to an NCI put option in respect of an intermediate Reldan holding company which holds an interest in the Indian joint venture operations, and may require the Group to purchase shares
from the non-controlling shareholders of Reldan if exercised by the NCI. The put option can be exercised by the NCI between three and five years at a market price
Acquisition related costs
The Group incurred total acquisition related costs of R84 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (six months ended 31 December 2023: R74
million, six months ended 30 June 2023: R2 million) on advisory and legal fees. These costs are recognised as transaction costs in profit or loss during
the period in which incurred.
Identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed
The following table summarises the recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
| Figures in million - SA rand | |

1 Carrying value approximates fair value, except as detailed in footnote 2 below
2 Fair value of assets and liabilities for which the carrying value does not approximate fair value, excluding those not within the IFRS 3 measurement scope, were determined as follows:
•The fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined based on market prices for similar items and where relevant, the fair value was determined using the depreciated
replacement cost method
•The fair value of intangible assets was determined based on the relief-from-royalty method which considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that are avoided as a result of
ownership as well as an income approach (multi-period excess earnings method) which considers the present value of future net cash flows to value the vendor relationships
•The fair value of equity-accounted investments was determined based on an income approach which considers the discounted expected future cash flows of the investment
•The fair value of inventories was based on an assessment of net realisable value
•The fair value of borrowings was determined based on a market-related discount rate
3 The transaction results in net cash paid of R2,849 million based on cash and cash equivalents acquired of R71 million and cash consideration paid of R2,920 million
Goodwill
Goodwill arising from the business combination is as follows:

| Unaudited | |
| Jun 2024 | |
| Consideration | 3,052 |
| Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired | (2,904) |
| Goodwill1,2 | 148 |
1 The goodwill is attributable to the human capital and the premium paid for the synergies and benefits expected to be derived from enhancing the Group's recycling business across the US,
Mexico and India
2 US tax legislation requires the purchase consideration to be allocated in order to determine future tax deduction. An amount of R599 million (US$32 million) is estimated to be deductible for tax
purposes in the future

1 On 28 May 2024, approval was obtained from shareholders for the US$ Convertible Bond to be convertible into ordinary shares of Sibanye-Stillwater at the option of the holders. The share
conversion start date was 28 June 2024, with the last day that cash conversion could be requested being 26 June 2024. The derivative financial instrument was transferred to equity on 26 June
2024 as a result of the removal of the cash conversion option (see Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity). The fair value gain on the derivative financial instrument for the six
months ended 30 June 2024 amounted to R1,733 million (six months ended 31 December 2023: loss of R2,136 million) (see note 4)

1 The facility is undrawn at 30 June 2024 and at the date of this report
2 The R5.5 billion RCF and the Burnstone debt are affected by the IBOR reform amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards, which came into effect on 1 January 2021. The R5.5 billion RCF is linked
to JIBAR at 30 June 2024, however the JIBAR is only expected to be impacted by the reform at a later date and any impact thereof is to be considered when this occurs. Subsequent to 30 June
2024, the Group refinanced the R5.5 billion RCF on 16 August 2024 with a R6.0 billion RCF prior to the facility's maturity date in November 2024 (see note 15.3). The new facility is linked to the JIBAR
for the foreseeable future and will transition to a new interest rate prior to the date on which the JIBAR will no longer be available for use. At 30 June 2024, there is no significant impact on the
Group as a result of IBOR reform in respect of the R5.5 billion RCF and the Group will assess any potential impact when the facility is transitioned to a new rate in future. The Burnstone debt was
transitioned from US LIBOR to a term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) during March 2024, which is consistent with the Group's US$1 billion RCF. Management performed an assessment
and concluded that the transition to the term SOFR did not materially impact the Group's results
3 Other borrowings consist mainly of overnight facilities, working capital and overdraft borrowings facilities at Keliber, Sandouville, Century and Reldan

1Borrowings are only those borrowings that have recourse to Sibanye-Stillwater. Borrowings, therefore, excludes the Burnstone debt and include the derivative financial instrument until it was
derecognised on 26 June 2024
2Cash and cash equivalents exclude cash of Burnstone
3Net debt represents borrowings and bank overdraft less cash and cash equivalents. Borrowings are only those borrowings that have recourse to Sibanye-Stillwater and, therefore, excludes the
Burnstone debt and include the derivative financial instrument until it was derecognised on 26 June 2024. Net debt excludes cash of Burnstone
4The adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) calculation is based on the definitions included in the facility agreements for compliance with the debt
covenant formula, except for impact of new accounting standards, project finance subsidiaries (Burnstone) and acquisitions, where the facility agreements allow the results from the acquired
operations to be annualised. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined and reconciled below, is not a measure of performance under IFRS Accounting Standards. As a result, it should be considered in
addition to, and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to any other measure of financial performance and liquidity presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards
5Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined as net debt at the end of a reporting period divided by adjusted EBITDA of the 12 months ended on the same reporting date. Net debt to adjusted
EBITDA is not a measure of performance under IFRS Accounting Standards. As a result, it should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to any other measure of financial performance
presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards

1 At 30 June 2024, the fair values (level 3) of the Marikana dividend obligation and the Keliber dividend obligation amounted to R1,335 million (31 December 2023: R1,257 million) and R1,541 million
(31 December 2023: R1,434 million), respectively. The fair values were calculated by applying a market-related discount rate to expected future cash flows available for dividends
2 This liability was recognised as part of the Group's acquisition of Reldan (see note 10.1) and relates to precious metals that are borrowed and repaid under a consignment arrangement with a
financial institution. The precious metals traded are gold, silver, platinum and palladium, and transactions with the lender are recorded at the daily market prices on the day the metals are
traded. Settlement of transactions is usually within two to three business days after the trade date. The liability is measured at fair value according to the market borrowing position, with fair value
movements recognised in profit or loss
13. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, and risk management
13.1 Measurement of fair value
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments:
•Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
•Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from
prices)
•Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
The following table sets out the Group’s significant financial instruments measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:

1 Environmental rehabilitation obligation funds comprise a fixed income portfolio of bonds as well as fixed and notice deposits. The environmental rehabilitation obligation funds are stated at fair
value based on the nature of the fund’s investments
2 The fair value for trade receivables measured at fair value through profit or loss is determined based on ruling market prices, volatilities and interest rates
3 The fair values of listed investments are based on the quoted prices available from the relevant stock exchanges. The carrying amounts of other short-term investment products with short maturity
dates approximate fair value. The fair values of non-listed investments are determined through valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data. These
inputs include price/book ratios as well as marketability and minority shareholding discounts which are impacted by the size of the shareholding. The level 3 balance consists primarily of an
investment in Verkor, which is valued based on a recent share subscription price determined by market participants and since Verkor is a pre-revenue operation still in development, the
subscription price is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value. The difference between other investments in the statement of financial position and the table above, relates to
investments measured at amortised cost, with carrying amounts that approximate fair values
4 The fair value of the gold hedge is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on market forward prices, volatilities and interest rates. The fair value of the zinc hedge is determined
by calculating the delta of the relevant forward curves relating to the fixed and floating elements of the swaps, and discounting the result using a market-related discount rate
5 The fair value of the contingent consideration relating to the Kroondal acquisition has been derived from discounted cash flow models. These models use several key assumptions, including
estimates of future production volumes, PGM basket prices, operating costs, capital expenditure and a market related discount rate. An average 4E PGM basket price of R22,876/4Eoz and
R23,660/4Eoz was applied for the contingent consideration related to the delivery of agreed ounces and to the Anglo American Platinum Limited (AAP) receivable portion, respectively, and a
market-related discount rate of 10.75%. The fair value estimate is sensitive to changes in the key assumptions. The extent of the fair value changes would depend on how inputs change in
relation to each other. A 10% change in the average 4E PGM basket price would result in an undiscounted difference of R128 million and R108 million to the fair values at 30 June 2024 of the
contingent consideration related to the delivery of agreed ounces and to the AAP receivable portion, respectively
6 The fair value of derivative financial instruments was estimated based on ruling market prices, volatilities, interest rates and option pricing methodologies based on observable quoted inputs
7 The fair value of the metals borrowing liability at the reporting date was calculated based on the spot prices of the relevant metals owed to the financial institution

1 The fair value is based on the quoted market prices of the notes
2 The fair value of the Burnstone Debt has been derived from discounted cash flow models. These models use several key assumptions, including estimates of future sales volumes, gold prices,
operating costs, capital expenditure and discount rate. The Burnstone long-term gold price at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023 was R1,012,625/kg (30 June 2023: R793,473/kg) and the
discount rate applied was 10.01% (31 December 2023: 10.74%, 30 June 2023: 10.64%). The fair value estimate is sensitive to changes in the key assumptions, for example, increases in the market
related discount rate would decrease the fair value if all other inputs remain unchanged. The extent of the fair value changes would depend on how inputs change in relation to each other
3 The fair value at 30 June 2024 represents the quoted price of the US$ Convertible Bond. The fair value of the amortised cost component amounts to R7,818 million (level 2) at 30 June 2024 and is
calculated by deducting the fair value of the share conversion option from the quoted price. Following the transfer of the derivative component to equity (see note 11), it is no longer
remeasured to fair value through profit or loss. The fair value at 31 December 2023 represents the fair value of the amortised cost component, which was calculated based on the quoted price
of the instrument after separating the fair value of the derivative component
13.2 Risk management activities
Liquidity risk: working capital and going concern assessment
For the six months ended 30 June 2024, the Group realised a loss of R7,138 million (31 December 2023: R45,216 million and 30 June 2023: profit of
R7,786 million). As at 30 June 2024 the Group’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by R26,830 million (31 December 2023: R25,415 million)
and the Group’s total assets exceeded its total liabilities by R46,541 million (31 December 2023: R51,607 million). During the six months ended 30
June 2024 the Group generated net cash from operating activities of R3,856 million (31 December 2023: R2,152 million and 30 June 2023:
R4,943 million).
The Group currently has committed undrawn debt facilities of R20,615 million at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: R20,755 million) and cash
balances of R15,560 million (31 December 2023: R25,560 million). The Group concluded the financing of the Keliber project on 20 August 2024 and
the refinancing of its R5.5 billion RCF on 16 August 2024. The R5.5 billion RCF was upsized to a R6 billion facility with a R1 billion accordion, which
matures in August 2027 with two optional one-year extensions (see note 15.3). On 16 August 2024, the Group also received a R1.8 billion
prepayment from a financial institution in exchange for delivering 1,497 kilograms of gold in equal monthly deliveries from October 2024 to
November 2026 inclusive (see note 15.4). The Group’s leverage ratio (net debt/(cash) to adjusted EBITDA) as at 30 June 2024 was 1.43:1 (31
December 2023 was 0.58:1 and 30 June 2023 was 0.01:1) and its interest coverage ratio (adjusted EBITDA to net finance charges) was 19.9:1 (31
December 2023 was 66.0:1 and 30 June 2023 was 1,273.0:1). Both considerably better than the uplifted maximum permitted leverage ratio of at
most 3.5:1 and minimum required interest coverage ratio of 3.0:1, calculated on a quarterly basis, required under the US$1 billion RCF and the R6
billion RCF. The maximum permitted leverage ratio up to 30 June 2025 is 3.5:1, up to 30 September 2025 3.0:1 and thereafter 2.5:1. The maximum
required interest coverage ratio up to 30 June 2025 3.0:1, up to 30 September 2025 3.5:1 and 4.0:1 thereafter. At the date of approving these
condensed consolidated financial statements for issue, the US$1 billion RCF is undrawn and there were no significant events which had a
significant negative impact on the Group’s strong liquidity position.
Notwithstanding the exceptionally strong liquidity position, severe unforeseen events could negatively impact the production outlook and
deteriorate the Group’s forecasted liquidity position and may require the Group to further increase operational flexibility by adjusting mine plans
and reducing capital expenditure. The Group is also considering options to increase funding flexibility through streaming facilities and further
prepayment facilities. If other options are not deemed preferable or achievable by the Board, the Group may consider an equity capital raise.
During past adversity, management has successfully implemented similar actions.
Management believes that the cash forecasted to be generated by operations, cash on hand, the committed unutilised debt facilities as well as
additional funding opportunities will enable the Group to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least eighteen months

after the reporting date. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2024 have therefore been prepared
on a going concern basis.
14. Contingent liabilities/assets
14.1 Notice from Appian Capital to commence legal proceedings
On 26 October 2021, Sibanye-Stillwater entered into share purchase agreements to acquire the Santa Rita nickel mine and Serrote copper mine
(the Atlantic Nickel SPA and the MVV SPA, respectively) from affiliates of Appian Capital Advisory LLP (Appian). Subsequent to signing the
agreements, Appian informed Sibanye-Stillwater that a geotechnical event occurred at the Santa Rita open pit operation. After becoming aware
of the geotechnical event, Sibanye-Stillwater assessed the event and its effect and concluded that the event was and was reasonably expected
to be material and adverse to the business, financial condition, results of operations, the properties, assets, liabilities or operations of Santa Rita.
Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Atlantic Nickel SPA, on 24 January 2022, Sibanye-Stillwater gave notice of termination of the Atlantic
Nickel SPA. As the MVV SPA was conditional on the closing of the Atlantic Nickel SPA, which had become impossible to satisfy, on the same date
Sibanye-Stillwater also gave notice of termination of the MVV SPA.
On 27 May 2022, Appian initiated legal proceedings before the High Court of England and Wales against Sibanye-Stillwater. On 3 August 2022, the
Group filed its defence against the claim, since it remains Sibanye-Stillwater’s view that the Atlantic Nickel SPA and the MVV SPA were rightfully
terminated. In June 2024, at the pre-trial review, the proceedings were split into two, with liability (whether the geotechnical event was or was
reasonably expected to be material and adverse) heard in June 2024 and July 2024 (referred to as the liability trial) and, if required, with quantum
(whether Appian suffered any loss as a result of the termination of the aforementioned SPAs and if so, what recoverable damages would be
payable by Sibanye-Stillwater) to be heard in November 2025. Sibanye-Stillwater awaits the outcome of the liability trial, which is expected later
this year.
14.2 US PGM insurance claim
During H1 2022, the US PGM operations was affected by a significant flood event, which caused the suspension of operations and consequently a
loss of production. As a result of the losses incurred, a business interruption and property damage claim was lodged with the insurers. During H1
2024, the Group received reimbursement in respect of the business interruption claim of US$44 million (see note 5.2). At 30 June 2024, the Group is
yet to receive its reimbursement in respect of its property damage claim, estimated at US$18 million.
15. Events after the reporting period
The following significant events occurred after 30 June 2024 and up to the date on which the condensed consolidated financial statements for the
six months ended 30 June 2024 was authorised for issue:
15.1 Keliber funding
On 26 July 2024 Sibanye-Stillwater executed a EUR129.5 million guarantee facility with SMBC Bank International Plc in relation to the Keliber project
financing.
On 20 August 2024 Sibanye-Stillwater executed a EUR500 million multi-tranched green loan financing facility for the Keliber project with a syndicate
of international banks and funding agencies. The facility secures the final capital expenditure funding required for the construction and
development of the lithium mining, processing and refining facilities in Kaustinen, Kronoby and Kokkola, Finland respectively. The term financing is
repayable by way of an amortising profile over 7 to 8 years dependant on the tranche and bears a variable interest rate linked to EURIBOR, with
an interest rate margin of between 1.3% and 2.5% dependent on the facility tranche and Sibanye-Stillwater's net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio.
15.2 Debt agreement amendments
On 26 July 2024, 12 July 2024 and 31 July 2024 Sibanye-Stillwater executed an amendment to the financial covenants for the US$1 billion RCF, the
R5.5 billion RCF and the silicosis guarantee facility respectively. These amendments provided for an increase of certain financial covenants, most
significantly the 12-month trailing ratio of Consolidated Net Borrowings to Consolidated EBITDA shall not exceed 3.5:1 between 30 June 2024 and
30 June 2025 inclusive, 3.0:1 between 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025 inclusive, and 2.5:1 thereafter. An additional margin bracket was added to
the facilities with the US$1 billion RCF including a margin of 2.20% if over 3.0x leverage, the R5.5 billion RCF and the silicosis guarantee facility
including a margin of 2.80% if over 3.0x leverage. The US$1 billion RCF was also amended to provide for the issuance of letters of credit.
15.3 R5.5 billion RCF refinancing
On 16 August 2024 a new R6 billion RCF, including an option for Sibanye-Stillwater to increase the RCF by a further R1 billion later during the term
through inclusion of additional lenders, was executed and refinanced the existing R5.5 billion RCF. The facility was refinanced on substantially
similar terms to the existing facility, and has a maturity tenor of three years, including an option to extend the facility tenor through two further one-
year extensions, subject to the approval of the lenders. The facility is linked to the JIBAR with the interest rate margin based on a sliding scale
between 2.2% and 2.8% dependent on Sibanye-Stillwater's net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio.
15.4 Gold prepayment
On 21 August 2024, Sibanye-Stillwater announced a R1.8 billion prepayment from a financial institution in exchange for delivering 1,497 kilograms
of gold in equal monthly deliveries from October 2024 to November 2026 inclusive. Sibanye-Stillwater simultaneously executed a hedge
arrangement whereby the gold deliveries are subject to a floor price of R1,350,000 per kilogram and a cap price of R1,736,000 per kilogram. The
funds will be applied towards a partial repayment of the R6 billion RCF. The gold prepayment is expected to result in deferred revenue and will be
recognised as revenue over the period that deliveries are made.
15.5 Keliber Oy and Keliber Technology Oy
On 7 August 2024 Keliber Oy and Keliber Technology Oy acceded to the 2026 and 2029 Notes and the US$1 billion RCF as guarantors and on 16
August 2024 Keliber Oy and Keliber Technology Oy acceded to the silicosis guarantee facility as guarantors.
15.6 Sandouville settlement agreement
Subsequent to 30 June 2024 Sandouville concluded a settlement agreement, in terms of which the delivery of nickel matte shall be made only until
31 December 2024 and the sale of nickel matte and return of copper intermediate agreement will be terminated effective 31 December 2024. All
outstanding invoices and costs will be settled in line with the current contract and timelines, and Sandouville will pay a cash settlement amount of
USD$37 million, no later than 30 November 2024.
Further studies are currently ongoing to determine the future optimal usage of infrastructure at the Sandouville nickel refinery as part of the
GalliCam project, which together with the above settlement agreement may affect the future carrying values of the Sandouville onerous contract
provision, rehabilitation provision and other contract termination provisions.

15.7 US PGM operation
In addition to the impairment loss recognised in respect of the US PGM operation (see note 6), subsequent to 30 June 2024 Sibanye-Stillwater has
decided to restructure the US PGM operation due to the lower long-term palladium prices. The restructuring will include reducing 2E annual
production by approximately 200,000 2E ounces for 2025, suspend operations at the Stillwater West Mine for future optionality, utilising higher grade
and more efficient infrastructure at Stillwater East Mine, reducing mining at East Boulder Mine and deferring expansion capital, consolidating and
simplifying management structures across the mining areas and reducing employees and contractors. The financial impact of this restructure is not
yet determined.

1Corporate and reconciling items represent the items to reconcile segment data to condensed consolidated financial statement totals, such as intercompany eliminations and share of results of equity-accounted investees after tax. This does not represent a separate segment as it does not generate revenue
2Included in cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation is a total write-down of inventory to net realisable value amounting to R2,074 million. This write-down mainly relates to PGM in process and PGM finished goods of R1,621million and
R416 million, respectively, of which R1,917 million, R100 million and R20 million relates to Stillwater, SRPM and Marikana, respectively, as a result of the lower commodity price environment
3The average exchange rate for the six months ended 30 June 2024 was R18.72/US$

1Corporate and reconciling items represent the items to reconcile segment data to condensed consolidated financial statement totals, such as intercompany eliminations and share of results of equity-accounted investees after tax. This does not
represent a separate segment as it does not generate revenue
2Included in cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation is total write-down of inventory to net realisable value amounting to R1,092 million. This write-down mainly relates to PGM in process and PGM finished goods of R723 million and R283
million, respectively, of which R950 million relates to Stillwater as a result of the lower commodity price environment
3The average exchange rate for the six months ended 31 December 2023 was R18.62/US$

1The US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM operations and Marikana includes the production and costs associated with the purchase of concentrate (PoC) from third parties. For a
reconciliation of the Operating cost, AISC and AIC excluding third party PoC, refer to “Reconciliation of operating cost excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM
operations and Marikana - Six Months” and “Reconciliation of AISC and AIC excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM operations and Marikana – Six Months”
2The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into SA rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground
production, the operation processes various recycling material, which is excluded from the 2E PGM production, All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost statistics shown. The US Reldan operations cost
and performance are also excluded from the above table
3Kroondal operation includes 100% of production and costs from 1 November 2023, the effective date of acquiring Anglo Platinum's 50% share of the Kroondal PSA
4Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, third party refining costs, corporate general and administrative costs, and permitting costs
5Share-based payments are calculated based on the fair value at initial recognition and do not include the adjustment of the cash-settled share-based payment obligation to the reporting date
fair value
6Rehabilitation includes the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related capitalised rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related
to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the capitalised rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current PGM production

7All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to
normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and
major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce and All-in cost per ounce are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a
period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1US and SA PGM operations and Total SA PGM operations exclude the results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted
2The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’
underground production, the operation treats various recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown above. The US Reldan operations cost and performance are also excluded
from the above table
3Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation for US and SA PGM operations Total SA PGM operations, Rustenburg, Marikana, Kroondal and Platinum Mile includes the Chrome cost of
sales which is excluded for unit cost calculation purposes as Chrome production is excluded from the 4Eoz production
4Kroondal operation includes 100% of production and costs from 1 November 2023, the effective date of acquiring Anglo Platinum's 50% share of the Kroondal PSA
5For a reconciliation of the production excluding Mimosa and third party PoC, refer to “Reconciliation of operating cost excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM
operations and Marikana - Six months”
6Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a
period by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per ounce is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory
in a period, by the PGM produced in the same period

1The US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM operations and Marikana exclude the production and costs associated with the purchase of concentrate (PoC) from third parties. For a
reconciliation of the Operating cost, AISC and AIC excluding third party PoC, refer to “Reconciliation of operating cost excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM
operations and Marikana - Quarters” and “Reconciliation of AISC and AIC excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM operations and Marikana – Quarters”
2The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground
production, the operation treats various recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown above and is detailed in the PGM recycling table below. The US Reldan operations salient
features are separately disclosed below
3Production per product – see prill split in the table below
4PGM sold includes the third party PoC ounces sold
5The US and SA PGM operations and Total SA PGM operations’ unit cost benchmarks and capital expenditure exclude the financial results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted and excluded
from revenue and cost of sales
6The average PGM basket price is the PGM revenue per 4E/2E ounce, prior to a purchase of concentrate adjustment
7Operating cost, All-in sustaining costs and All-in costs are not measures of performance under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. See "Non-IFRS measures" for more information on the metrics presented by Sibanye-Stillwater. Because of its nature All-in sustaining costs and
All-in costs should not be considered as a representation of financial performance
8All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to
normalise earnings. For a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – Quarters”

1Nickel salts consist of anhydrous nickel, nickel chloride low sodium, nickel chloride standard, nickel carbonate and nickel chloride solution
2Nickel cakes occur during the processing of nickel matte and are recycled back into the nickel refining process
3Cobalt chloride and ferric chloride are obtained from nickel matte through a different refining process on an order basis
4The Nickel equivalent average basket price per tonne is the total nickel revenue adjusted for other income less non-product sales divided by the total nickel equivalent tonnes sold
5The Nickel equivalent sustaining cost, is the cost to sustain current operations. Nickel equivalent sustaining cost and Nickel equivalent sustaining costs per tonne are intended to provide
additional information only, do not have any standardised meaning prescribed by IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to cost of sales, profit before tax, profit for the
year, cash from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Nickel equivalent sustaining cost and Nickel equivalent sustaining costs
per tonne as presented in this document may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies. Other companies may calculate these measures
differently as a result of differences in the underlying accounting principles, policies applied and accounting frameworks such as in US GAAP. Differences may also arise related to definitional
differences of sustaining versus development capital activities based upon each company’s internal policies. See "Non-IFRS measures" for more information on the metrics presented by
Sibanye-Stillwater. Because of its nature Nickel equivalent sustaining costs and Nickel equivalent sustaining costs per tonne should not be considered as a representation of financial
performance
6Nickel recovery yield is the percentage of total nickel recovered from the matte relative to the nickel contained in the matte received

1Concentrate produced contains zinc, lead, silver and waste material, which is exported as a relatively dry product
2Concentrate zinc grade is the percentage of zinc contained in the concentrate produced
3Metal produced (zinc in concentrate) is the zinc metal contained in the concentrate produced
4Zinc metal produced (payable) is the payable quantity of zinc metal produced after applying smelter content deductions
5Zinc sold is the zinc metal contained in the concentrate sold
6Zinc sold (payable) is the payable quantity of zinc metal sold after applying smelter content deductions
7Average equivalent zinc concentrate price is the total zinc sales revenue recognised at the price expected to be received excluding the fair value adjustments divided by the payable zinc
metal sold
8All-in sustaining costs and all-in costs are not measures of performance under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with IFRS. See "Non-IFRS measures" for more information on the metrics presented by Sibanye-Stillwater. Because of its nature All-in sustaining costs and All-in costs should not be
considered as a representation of financial performance
9All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to
normalise earnings. For a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – Quarters”

1The US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM operations and Marikana include the production and costs associated with the purchase of concentrate (PoC) from third parties. For a
reconciliation of the Operating cost, AISC and AIC excluding third party PoC, refer to “Reconciliation of operating cost excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM
operations and Marikana - Quarters” and “Reconciliation of AISC and AIC excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM operations and Marikana – Quarters”
2The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into SA rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground
production, the operation processes various recycling material which is excluded from the 2E PGM production, All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost statistics shown. The US Reldan operations cost
and performance are also excluded from the above table
3Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, third party refining costs, corporate general and administrative costs, and permitting costs
4Share-based payments are calculated based on the fair value at initial recognition and do not include the adjustment of the cash-settled share-based payment obligation to the reporting date
fair value
5Rehabilitation includes the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related capitalised rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related
to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the capitalised rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current PGM production
6All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to
normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and
major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost
and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period

1Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, corporate general and administrative costs, and permitting costs
2Rehabilitation includes the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related capitalised rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related
to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the capitalised rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current zinc production
3All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to
normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and
major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per tonne and All-in cost per tonne are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a
period by the total tonnes of zinc metal produced (payable) in the same period

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1 US and SA PGM operations and Total SA PGM operations exclude the results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted
2The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’
underground production, the operation treats various recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown above. The US Reldan operations cost and performance are also excluded
from the above table
3Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation for US and SA PGM operations Total SA PGM operations, Rustenburg, Marikana, Kroondal and Platinum Mile includes the Chrome cost of
sales which is excluded for unit cost calculation purposes as Chrome production is excluded from the 4Eoz production
4 For a reconciliation of the production excluding Mimosa and third party PoC, refer to “Reconciliation of operating cost excluding third party PoC for US and SA PGM operations, Total SA PGM
operations and Marikana - Quarters”
5Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a
period by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per ounce is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory
in a period, by the PGM produced in the same period

Non-IFRS measures
Sibanye-Stillwater presents certain non-IFRS figures to provide readers with additional financial information that is regularly reviewed by
management to assess the operational performance of the Group. These non-IFRS measures should not be considered as alternatives to
IFRS Accounting Standards measures, including cost of sales, net operating profit, profit before taxation, cash from operating activities or
any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies.
