Updated trading statement for the year ended 31 December 2017

Johannesburg, 21 February 2018: In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (JSE), a company listed on the JSE is required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be reported upon next, will differ by at least 20% from the financial results for the previous corresponding period.

Shareholders are advised that the Group expects to report an attributable loss of R4,437 million (US$333 million) for the year ended 31 December 2017, compared with attributable earnings of R3,473 million (US$237 million) for the year ended 31 December 2016 (comparative period).

The attributable loss is due to a number of factors, primarily in the first half of the year, which resulted in an attributable loss of R4,804 million (US$364 million) for the six months ended 30 June 2017. These factors include: impairments, provision for occupational healthcare claims, restructuring and transaction costs and significant differences in commodity prices and the average rand:dollar exchange rate year-on-year. A R2,179 million gain on acquisition which was recognised during the comparative period, was also a significant contributing factor to the year-on-year difference.

Normalised earnings of R522 million (US$39 million) for the second half of 2017 was significantly higher than the R1,002 million (US$76 million) normalised loss for the first half of the year, resulting in a normalised loss of R480 million (US$36 million) for the year ended 31 December 2017 compared with normalised earnings of R3,678 million (US$251 million) for the comparative period.

Earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the period, are further affected by the rights offer and capitalisation issue.

As a result, the Group expects to report a loss per share of 229 cents (17 US cents) for the year ended 31 December 2017 and a headline loss per share of 12 cents (1 US cents). EPS and HEPS for the comparative period (adjusted to reflect the bonus element of the rights issue and capitalisation issue, and revised to reflect the adjustment of initial accounting in respect of the Rustenburg Operations) were 225 cents (15 US cents) and 162 cents (8 US cents), respectively. This represents a 202% decrease in respect of EPS and a 107% decrease in respect of HEPS.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by Sibanye-Stillwater’s auditors.

Mainly due to the tax reform in the United States which favourably impacts the Stillwater operations and a better than estimated operational performance by the group, the 12 cents headline loss per share for the 2017 year, was 89% better than the estimated 110 cents per share made in the previous trading statement, released on 25 October 2017.
